|Dorden Proposal to Cut School
Attendance Age Under Fire

what the children would be doing
out of school if they were not old
enough to work.
That's a very valid observa-
ton" said Dr. Darden, "but some
thing should be provided to
occupy them. It's too expensive
for the other students to carry
them in the schools"
Dowell j. Howard, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction,
suggested that there was no accu-
rate means for determining when
each child should be released from
formal education prior to high
school graduation.
DR.. j. Earl Moteland, president
of Randolph Macon College, COM
mented:
II hesitate to think of dimin-
ishing in any way the emphasis
on the American high school
which has come to be known as
the American university in many
ways"
Three other college heads
thought the suggestion a good one
but said there were other phases
to be considered. The educators
are DR.. Dabney S. Lancaster of
Longwood College; DR.. Francis P.
Gaines of Washington & Lee, and
Maj. Gen. Richard j. Marshall,
superintendent of VMI.

BY the Assoeiated Press

| RICHMOND. Va, Dec. 6.-Col-
gate w. Darden's proposal to
abandon compulsory education
beyond grammar school drew some
adverse comments from Gov.
Battle and several educators.
Gov. Battle noted that the sug-
gestion offered by the University
of Virginia president would only
cut one year from the time chill
dren must spend in school.
'Mr. Darden's opinion, of course,
is entitled to careful considera-
ton. but my first impression is
that his suggestion would relieve
few children of the compulsory at
tendance requirement." the Cover
nor observed yesterday.
"The present law requires the
attendance of children who have
not reached their 10th birth
day, or period of nine years. At
the normal rate of progress of
one grade year this would mean
nine grades. Mr.. Darden's pro-
posal to terminate the period of
compulsory attendance at the end
of the eighth grade would ap-
.parently have little effect on the
school population.
Then, too. the backward chill
dren to whom Mr.. Darden refers
probably would not have pro-
gressed further than the eighth
grade when they arrive at the end
of the present compulsory period" )"
DR.. Darden agreed that Battles
position was reasonable, but in
sisted:
Teachers ought to be given
more discretion and more backing
in exempting students not max
ing substantial progress in high
school"
Another puzzler was advanced
by John D. Meade, superintendent
of Petersburg schools. who asked

asked concerning the develop
ment of the recreation program

was really surprised at the in
terest the parents have already

Mike Keresies
Injured In IS
Foot Plunge

Mike Kerestes, Sd, better
known in this community as
big Fist" Mike, was seriously
injured Sunday afternoon at 400
o'clock, when he fell from a rs
foot cliff overlooking u. S.
Route 81 at Florence Addition,
just opposite the Ernest Stritz
junk yard.
The retired miner suffered a
broken vertebrae in his neck, a
broken shoulder blade, several
broken ribs and possible inter-
nal injuries.
He was removed in the Murphy
ambulance to the st. Francis
hospital, Cambridge, where blood
plasma was administered.
His condition remains critical
according to hospital attaches.

Under the new law, the
draft age limits are 1872 to Is.
However, the local draft
board must call first all avail
able men, 19 and over, and it
will be many months before
any registrant younger than 10 is
inducted.
The present 2l-months draft
term is stretched to "a months or
two years.
Organized reservists and ma
tional guardsmen, who have been
or may be called to active duty,
also must serve "a months. But
veterans of World War ii who,
since Korea, have been called
back to duty from inactive re-
serve can get out after II months
service.
The speeded-up released pro-
gram will get under way in July
and it is expected by the end of
December that all reservists will
be out. The discharge rate will be
speeded up each month.
First men in Noble county to
feel the effect of the tightened-
up draft law probably will be
married men without children
and with no dependents except
wives. Heretofore they had been
deferred but no longer.
Now that the bill has been
signed by the President and is
now law, it is expected that the
draft machinery will be geared
accordingly and the local draft
board will be notified of all
changes.
