Teachers Criticize
Longer School Year
. Staff Photo.

teachers ordinarily begin on
about June 81, or nine full days
before county teachers will be
free, Simonds pointed out.
He urged the board to chop
three days from the school year
and release the teachers two
days after closing.
Children win resist the late
closing date, h4 predicted, be-
cause Of the Internationally
warm weather" In late June.
Simonds said the board
should put more stress on the
quality of teaching and less on
the number of days worked.
The carrot is often more effec-
tive than the stick" he wrote.
Board Chairman Mrs. Rose
c. Kramer fatty denied the i'm
plication that the longer school
year resulted from the pay in
crease.
Teachers always have been
on a 10-month contract" she
said. "All we're doing now is
asking them to work the full 10
months"

Study
Will Be Pushed
French Would be
Offered for 10
Years Under Plan
By Bob Bernstein
Staff Reporter

A vastly expanded foreign
language program, making it
possible for a pupil to study
at least one language from
the third through twelfth
grades, lies ahead for coun-
ty schools.
Under tentative plans, a con-
tinuous 10 year course in
French would be offered, begin.
ming with compulsory 15-ninute
daily sessions in the third grade,
Cher languages, such as Ger.
man, Spanish and Latin, would
be optional extras In high school.
From the seventh grade on,
the French courses would be
given only to those pupils who
displayed interest and ability.
School officials hope to get
the program substantially under
way within the next four years.
In line with modern language
theories, emphasis In the early
grades would be on speaking
and understanding, rather than
reading and writing. the Ian,
gIIage.
The goals were outlined to the
school board Tuesday by Gene.
We've Blew, chief language SUI
pervisor for the system. Mrs.
Rose C. Kramer, board chair.
man; said later the plan has
board support.
Stressing the Importance OF
starting language studies at an
early age, Mrs. Blew told the
board:
Children are born mimics,
and below the ages Of 10 or II
they can initiate any sound they
hear"
, II started later, she said, the
mastery of any language be-
comes more difficult.
IF a child Is familiar with an
other language" she added, "he
won't think ours is the only Gull
ture, or that others are 'odd.'"
The program will be built on
the foundation established in re-
cent years by FILES (Foreign
Language In Elementary
Schools, a County P-TA after
school program which current.
ly Is teaching French, Spanish
and Russion to 2300 children in
43 county schools.
Tn the regular elementary
school program, the only for
eign language now being taught
is to 139 pupils In five third
grade French classes at Park
wood and Larchmont schools.
No language now Is available
in seventh and eighth grades, al
though FILES soon will be ex.
banded to provide continued In.
struction to those who started
In the after-school elementary
classes.
Mrs. Blew outlined a sug.
gested program of French for
grades through through II as
follows:
. Grades three through sixi

dren.
. Grades seven and eight:
Three one-hour, or five half.
hour, periods for those who
want and are approved for fur.
Their study.
. Grades nine and 10: One
hour daily.
. Grades IL and II: Three to
five one-hour periods a week.
The goal would be TO complete
nuency in speaking, reading and
writing a language, at least by
the time a student is graduated
from high school
Next year, Mrs. Blew said,
FILES will be expanded, at least
to the extent of adding fourth
grade classes as well as third.
In addition, foreign language
laboratories, already installed at
seven high schools, will be added
in every other secondary school
In the county.
The laboratories are specially
wired, with individual head
phones, for playing foreign Ian
gusge records and tapping the
own voice.
