WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1969, ; District school district made ® Editorial (From page 1) It would not be popular with the parents who would find that their vacation schedules and summer holi- day arrangements were in- volved. It would not be popular with taxpayers who can see instantly that teachers, pro- fessional administrators and janitors all would be asking for more money because they are taking on more work. So, it begins to look as if school year ’round would not be particularly popular —at least until the plan had been in operation for some time and the way of lift in- volved had been readjusted to fit the changed schedule. And—that might be a while. There's tradition and senti- ment involved and those are two of the hardest kinds of prejudice to whip. But, the facts remain that school the year ’round is a proposal which needs ex- ploration in depth. There are good reasons—- in fact, very °~ good reasons why schools should be oper- ated 12 months a year. To begin with, the public has invested thousands, yes millions of dollars in build- ings and equipment. These facilities are standing avail- able, 24 hours per day, 12 months per year. Does it make sense for those expen- sive installations to stand idle a fourth of the time? ~ Industry is not inclined to let its expensive properties remain unused. Disuse of in- vestments which cost high prices and are still costing interest are not very effic- ient if they can not be used more than 34 of the time. In fact, in urban areas, some educators point out, some of the crowding could be eliminated if the facili- ties could be used not only six of seven hours a day but twice that many hours. In- dustry, again, keeps the buildings and the machines rolling two and three shifts each day. The shift problems for school may not seem prac- tical but when the costs of new buildings, the costs of equipment and the costs of maintenance are figured, it isn’t an unthinkable step to begin trying to figure imag- inatively about how to get more out of what we alrea- dy have. From the student’s stand- point, school during the hot months of the year is un- thinkable. Yet, with air con- ditioning available, the phy- sical discomforts simply do not exist. It - is our a mistake when it did not include air conditioning in the new building now being erected near Marietta. The district already is holding summer classes and it is a good bet that there will be more before there are few- er. Add for the students’ ben- efit the fact that most young- sters of grade school and high school age add very lit- tle to their lives during the summer months. Most of them are too young to do enough work for income to add up too much. Children living on farms do add to the family total welfare. But, even those youngsters are not the vital part of the farm operation they once were. For the others, summer too often is a time for simp- ly goofing around. And, that is no goed for anyone. The teachers? Most teach- ers are looking for some- thing to do during the sum- mer. Some travel, some go to school and some take a temporary job. Most teachers are interest- ed in earning money during the vacation interval. And, it stands to reason that if they are teaching, they will be earning additional salary. And, as far as we can see, that is one of the things the teachers seem to want most —more money. Colleges and some high schools and grade schools ai- ready are holding well-at tended and successful sum mer classes at Seiler school were worth while. Many students, including teachers who are taking ad- ult work, like the idea if summer school. It is more informal, smaller classes, better-teacher rapport, more intensified and therefore more effective. Summer schools are going to happen on a far bigger scale than now and the pubk- lic, including vacation-mind- ed Dad and Mom, may just as Well begin to think in that direction. There have different methods for fitting the school pat- tern into the total year's school picure, including split semesters, tri-semesters, four - semesters, and others. The way is not yet appar- ent, bul action of the state last week has opened the door. But, once unlocked it can be assured that sooner or later there will be a plan devised and a program eii- erging. been many advanced An elevator operator may have his ups and downs, but he is one of the few people who know where they are opinion that going.
