Yeor-Round School Use
Study Backed by Stanley

RICHMOND. Mar. 19 R.-
Gov. Stanley believes a proposed
study by the State board Of edu-
cation of his year-round school
use proposal seems to be a very
wise plan"
He said the volume Of mail he
has received since making his
proposal has not been heavy, but
said it was remarkable for the
near unanimity Of opinion that
the schools should be put to
better use.
The Governor said the major
difference of opinion seemed to
be over means Of setting up the
12-month plan on a satisfactory
basis.
Gov. Stanley said some parents
with more than one child had

commended the general idea of
allowing beginners to start at
any one of four different times
during the year rather than all
at once.
Some weeks ago the Governor
asked Virginians to consider the
year-round use Of schools as a
means Of easing crowding with
out new construction programs.
He said he had expected far
more objections to the plan than
he has received up to now.
