20 minutes of which 80 minutes
is for lunch and is minutes for
recess. II is somewhat longer
for high school students, ad-
ministratcrs said.
Mr.. Hudgins said the sched-
ule works out so that students
are actually receiving FIVE
hours or less basic instruction"
He also said the schedule
amounts to about a S5-hour
week for teachers. and called
this a misuse Of teachers"
Theory Challenged
Hills Lory defended the
present schedule on the ground
that students can absorb only
so much and would get no
benefits from longer hours"
and that teachers would be-
come dissatisfied If the day
were heightened. He said that
teachers spend a lot of time
outside the classroom preparing
studies.
Board members asked Supt
w. T. Woodson to study the
facts Of a longer day and bring
back recommendations ct a
meeting Tuesday, when the
matter will be discussed again.
Under State law. a school
day cannot be less than 5
nor more than ,6l2 hours, ex-
GLIDING lunch period.
Administrative officials said
the present Fairfax schedule is
aimed at giving students 5l2
hours of basic instruction.
The board also reviewed ad-
ministrative proposals for the
type of buildings to be con-
structed under the county's
new Junior high school setup
A reorganization of the system
into six years elementary school,
two years junior high school
and four years senior high was
approved by the board last
week.
Needs Estimated
Drawings displayed last night
showed junior high schools
which would house 1000 stu
dents and cost an estimated 81
million each. Supt. Woodson
said IL Of the schools would be
needed in the next 10 years.
The buildings would contain

DEPREC CITATION AND
PROSPERITY - Depreciation
may sound like a duh word,
but businessmen don't think so,
and what is done about de-
probation may have much 10 do
with reversing the business
slump.
Secretary Of Commerce
Weeks said the other day that
a more liberal tax treatment OF
depreciation would be the
greatest shot In the arm for
the economy.
When a company builds a
plant or buys a machine II
starts to write otf-or depreci-
ate-the cost. Depreciation Is
a business expense and deduc-
tible on a tax return. BY the
time the useful life OF the plant
or equipment is over, the COM
pany presumably has recov-
cred the cost and can buy a
new machine or build a new
plant.
But this works neatly only
II the time allowed by Internal
Revenue regulations comedies
with the really useful life Of
the asset, and prices are stable.
In many cases the period Of
depreciation is 20 years.
