Parking Meters
By August As
City Seeks Bids

On the agenda for next Wednes-
day nights meeting of the City
Commission is the taking of bids
for 545 parking meters which are
expected to be installed in the
business centers of the city along
about August 1st. The meeting is
being postponed from the regular
Tuesday because of Memorial Day.
Placing of meters is the result
of careful traffic study and con-
ferences with merchants and is
primarily designed to create more
customer parking. With meters, no
one motorist is going to leave his
car parked for long intervals at the
same spot.
The Meters viii be Of the irtuI-
tiple type, explains Chief of potisc
II. S. Weaver, permitting a motor
lists to park for IL minutes for a
penny, with sliding scale up to
a nickel for an hour, and two
nickels for two hours. Dimes can
not be used in the meters.
Under the present plan the
me-ers will be placed on Superior
from East 125th st. (the west city
limit) to Euclid ave-; on Hayden
ave. from the vicinity of Fifth ave.,
to Beaumont; on Euclid ave. from
east of Colt rd. to about Sheldon
ST., and again from east of Page
to Rosaling. This will cover the
Euclid d-Superior and Foresthill-Eu-
cid intersections.
Chief Weaver points out that
meters will not be spaced closely
in between the above mentioned
territories, and that there will be
minus meters in each
designated area. Also, changes may
be made as traffic conditions re-
quire.
Merchants as a rule, approve the
meters, realizing that more GUS
toners can park in a area spotted
with meters than in one where
there is no limit to the time in
which a car may be parked in
business district.

New Supervised Study
Plan Effective At Shaw
With Fall Term Of School

When school opens in Septem-
Der, 1850, students of Shaw High
School will have a longer school
day and a longer classroom period
according to announcement made
by Wayne C. Blough, the principal.
Whereas the school formerly oper-
ated on an eight period classroom
schedule of 40 minutes each, next
year there will be seven classroom
periods of So minutes each. The
school day will begin at approx
mately 500 a. m. and will end at
approximately 1920 p. M.
Mr.. Blough presented the new
plan to the faculty last Thursday,
explaining its objectives and indi-
eating the anticipated goals.
The long class room period has
certain advantages over the short
period, which it is hoped will make
it more profitable for the students,
states Mr.. Blough.
''In the first place, it is long
enough to permit teachers to en-
ploy the method of supervised
study through which part of the
students daily preparation in each
subject is made during part of the
classroom period with the teacher
of this subject. The classroom
teacher will be able to observe how
the student goes about preparing
his daily work and will be able to
offer suggestions and assistance
when needed by the student.

Request Change
In Rezoning

When Colt rd., Collamere st.
and Euclid ave. between these two
streets were rezoned April 5, 1949,
the first named two streets to
apartments, and the Euclid ave.
stretch to retail, it was with the
understanding that any established
business or light manufacturing
within the area would not be con-
sidered in violation as long as its
use was unchanged. However, the
sale Of any such property for a
different use would automatically
place it under the restrictions of
the rezoning.
Among the businesses so in
volved is a coal yard abutting Eu-
cid ave., and extending north and
to the rear of the west side of
Collamere st. with a driveway from
that street. In the event of future
transfer of this property for a
different use it would be left
minus legal ingress or egress,
under the present rezoning regula-
tions.
A request has now been made
by Ray Steel to clarity the zoning
on that part of the property
which abuts Euclid and Collamer.
The hearing will come before the
Board of Zoning Appeals Monday,
May 29th at 900 a. m. in the
Commission Climber in City Hall.
On March 21st the board rejected
request by Mr.. Steel for erection
of an ice skating rink adjacent to
this property.
Neither Mr.. Steel, or the Goff-
Kirby Coal Co. owners of the coal
yard, would comment on the re-
quested appeal.

+ been done at home or during study
periods. Many educators believe
that so-called study periods are
waste of time and not produc-
tive Of measurable results"
Mr.. Blough points out that
under the plan of supervised
study, the question will arise,
"Does this mean there will be no
home work by the students ?" The
answer to this is an emphatic No,
it does not mean that there will
be no home work. Those students
who want to do superior work will
be expected to study outside of
class. 1t seems probable that be-
cause of the heightened classroom
period they will not have to spend
as much time outside of class as
they have in the past. On the
other hand, many students who in
the past, for one reason, have
failed to prepare work outside of
school, will have the time and
supervision of the teacher of the
subject in helping them to prepare
at least part of their daily
work.
"Under this plan, which has the
unqualified approval of the State
Department of Education and the
North Central Association of
Secondary Schools and Colleges,
there will be no double periood
classes. Schools using the 55 min
ute period are not required to
schedule additional laboratory
periods in order to give full credit
for certain subjects, including
science, home economics, typing
and others. Under the long period
plan the classroom teacher may
alternate days in the classroom or
laboratory.
"This plan is expected to prove
helpful to all students since it will
give them 275 minutes per week
under the supervision of the class
room teacher of each subject, in
contrast with the 200 minutes per
week they have had under the old
plan.
Some schools have hesitated to

] cause they taensit that The stud

limited. TJnder this plan 4 superior
student may elect to take 5 major
subjects for the four years of high
cchool and graduate with 20 units
instead OF the usual Is. Since the
announcement of this plan in Shaw
High School last week, home roop4
teachers have been making out
the daily programs Of the students.
They found practically no cases
of students being unable to sched-
ule subjects they desire.
"The long period day is not ex-
pected to increase the teachers
load. The change to the long period
schedule of classes is nothing new
or remarkable or especially un-
usual. There has been a trend in
this direction for many years.
Those who favor it believe that it
promises more and better results
in the education of secondary
school students"
The schedule of periods, which
go into effect with the September
term Of school, will be announced
at the opening of the fall term.
