A group of l7-year-old scientists
heard lecture last night by a.
year-old atom smasher-and they
seemed to understand 1t.
They were the 40 finalists-32 boys
and eight girl high school students
of the Westinghouse science scholar
ship contest. The lecture followed
a dinner at which they were guests
at the Hotel Statler. The winners
will be announced at another dinner
Tuesday.
The lecturer was Raymond r.
Schiff, who won the first prize In
the same scholarship contest five
years ago. He Is now working with
an atom smashing machine at West
inghouse Laboratories, Pittsburgh.
In introducing him, Margaret e.
Patterson, secretary Of the Science
Clubs of America, called attention
to the fact that. like five of this
years finalists, Mr. Schiff was for
eign born. He left Berlin in 1895
when he was 10.
Illustrating his lecture with slides,
he described the smashing of helium
atoms and the directions taken by
the released protons or electrical
ly charged particles which can be
detected by Geiger counters.
Many of the boys and girls In
his audience were able to follow
him. One of the boys had built
an improved Geiger counter and was
exhibiting 1t as his project In the
contest. It is doubtful that any Of

arranged the event understood it,

Full Day Sessions,
Kindergartens Urged
In Arlington Schools

Immediate installation of full-day
sessions for first and second grades,
and the establishment of kinder
gartens In Arlington schools has
been recommended to the County
School Board by one of its COM
mittees.
Another committee, meanwhile,
has suggested four point program
to provide minimum" library serv-
ice for the next school year. The
two committees are the 18th and
18th of ID named by the board
last month to report on various
phases Of the school system.
Would Increase Costs.
II the recommendations of the
Ia committees are adopted by the
School Board, an. outlay Of from
$525, 900 to $4,000 would be re-
quired for the 1948-'49 school year,
depending on alternative plans
selected by the board.
The Committee on Full Day Ses-
sions and Kindergartens estimated
the cost of full day sessions at
s184, 900, of which $116, 900 would be
q continuing cost. No specific
recommendation for kindergarten
funds was submitted, the committee
stated, because of the need for fur
ther study.
The change should be made "only
If adequate supervision and a
teacher training program be con-
currently administered" the report
declared.
Requires 81 More Teachers.
A survey determined that ap-
proximately 81 additional teachers
in the first and second grades would
be required to change the classes
from half to full day sessions, the
report stated. The additional
teachers also would reduce the
present teacher load from 49.6 to
1874 pupils.
Available space for the added
classes could be found in vacant
classroor1s and convertible space in
present buildings; looms in nearby
churches, and additional temporary
structures, the committee declared.
The committee felt that "estab-
fishing public ktndegartens where
none have been before presents
many tremendous problems and it
would be desirable to have qualified
professional planning before UNDER
taking such a program"
Full Time Librarian.
The School Libraries Committee
recommended the employment of q
professional librarian to supervise
Libraries in all public, schools, and
a clerical assistant. It advocated a
budget provision for lew books and
library supplies to meet Virginia's
minimum standard of so cents per
elementary pupil and 81 per pupil
in the Junior and senior high
schools.
The committee also recommended
the immediate establishment of full
library service, including a profess
sional librarian for the Hoffman
Boston colored school.
