Mrs. KornbWft
YES
Mfcs. HT RORNBLEET of
Kansas City, Kans., presi
dent: ‘‘As a former schfwl j
teacher. I would favor an
‘all-year school’ with ' four
quarters, the fourth quarter
being optional. The system
I propose would treat the
year .as a single unit—the
purpose of the fourth quar
ter would be to (1) give the
so-called slow-leaming child
an opportunity to catch up
with fellow students, and
(2> give the 'superior' stu
dent a chance to explore
more thoroughly subjects
which' have fired his curi
osity.
“1 am especially interested
in these two groups. In the
case of the former, the fourth
quarter would eliminate the
need <• for special classes,
private tutors or summer
schools, which stamp the slow
learner as ‘different’ and
make him feel like an out
sider witJi his contemporaries.
And in the case of the latter,
the additional time could be
used to alleviate the frus
tration so often felt by the
brighter Students who wish
to go more deeply into sub
jects but cannot because the
teacher hasn’t time under the
present- system.”
NO
MRS. MAURICE GOLD
BERG of Gaithersburg. Md.:
“I thoroughly approve of the
present. school system in
Montgomery County. My five
children havf gone through
' the schools with very satis
factory results.
"I think an extension of
the school, year would oe en
tirely too hard on the
teachers. They aren’t paid
proper!# foE the months they j
work now' and they could use
extra help. With a longer
year, unless they were given j
a good deal more money and i
help, I expect they’d simply
break down.
"Also teachers, especially j
the younger ones, need this
summer opportunity to fur
> ther their educations.
“What happens to the
tea.,in* is important, not j
just for their sakes. but be- j
cause their state of mind I
and health will, of course, j
have an effect on their atu
dents.,
Another point: Schools
need the vacation time to
make repairs and so on.
Maintenance would become
a real problem in an all-year
school.”
YES
MRS LOUIS L. PERLMAN
of Wilmette. XU* past presi
dent: "I feel an all-year
school would greatly improve
the professional status of the
teacher and would thus at
tract better people—and
more men—to the field. As It
is now, teachers find tt nec
essary to go out and get other
work during the long summer
vacation. This certainly
doesn’t make for a feeling of
security or add to their pres
tige. That’s why most men
shy clear of It. I think, and
why schools have to accept
teachers who aren't always
fully accredited.
“I obviously advocate an
Increase of salary commen
surate with the additional
two or three months’ work
for the teacher. In addition
to putting the teacher on
firmer footing, the extended
school year would make pos
sible a better school program,
I think. The teacher could

MRS. WILLIAM RABKIN
of New York City : “Education
is more than the three R’s.
Every child should be edu
cated for total living, on every
level. He should grow up
knowing what it means to be
a part of a family unit or
community unit. I think
every family should have
time to play together and
take vacations together. If
a child doesn’t get this, he's
missing an important part of
education.
"In an all-year program,
we would be going back to
the European system, where
learning facts is the domi
nant theme. To me it seems !
like an escape for those who j
are afraid to live with society. 1
What I mean, in brief, is that
all children should have time
to learn how to use their
leisure.”

MRS. CHARLES SOLO
VICH of Detroit, Mich.: “I’m
a practicing attorney in my
city and quite aware of the
delinquency problem. Delin
quents don’t Just come from
what are considered the un
derprivileged classes: they
come from the upper classes,
too.
So many who come before
the courts are children with
too much leisure time on
their hands. In the long
periods when they have no
supervision, nothing con
structive to do, they are apt
to create gangs and start
fights for diversion.
“A year-around program of
study and extracurricular ac
tivities would prevent much
delinquency. 1 believe. A good
example is in Florida, where
the extended school year was
tiled delinquency dropped
considerably.
"Many places have park
service programs in the sum
mertime to keep children oc
cupied. And teachers are
utilized foi this. But it’s not
compulsory and many chil
dren remain without supei
vision. Why not use the teach
ers in a year-long school
program, where supervision
and constructive use of the
children's time could be in
sured?”
NO
MRS. MOE KUDLER of
Los Angeles, Calif.: ”ln dis
cussing slow-learning and
fast-learning children, there
seems to be a tendency to
lock them in categories. The
slow learner may be slow for
any one of a number of rea
sons. Perhaps he isn't men
tally alert, or perhaps he has
a physical defect—he can’t
see well, say. and therefore
can’t read.
"The teacher can’t, or
shouldn’t, just put the child
in a certain ‘class’ and let
it go at that. She has to
look a step further, to And
out the reasons why a child
is having trouble. And she
has to be equipped to do this.

in her particular field, and
also in the field of human

“Also I think the proposed
system would be placing all
responsibility in the school,
when some of it should be |
shared by the parents. The
mother may become less and
less interested in what the
child is up to. thinking. *Oh,
well, the school is taking care

“During the school year
now there is very little time
for parents and children to
spend together. They need
time not just for taking va
cations together but for a
number of activities—one.
and a very important one, I
tirnk. is religious education.
