It seems cruel to say, hut we're convinced that we have to answer in the affirmative. We’re intelligent enough to know that we can’t come up with a simple, pat answer to our school problems in Brookings I larbor Schixd District 17c hut we do realize that we have a definite problem. We feel that our children are k in g deprived of the greatest thing that we as parents and citizens can offer them—a complete education. Anything less than ,1 com plete education isn’t enough. Read what Lawrence Ci. Derthick, C ommissioner of education, told a subcommittee of General Education before the I louse of Representatives recently. He reports “When children are on double shifts they attend school less than the minimum five or six hours per day required by law’ in most states. These laws concerning the length of the school day have been esta- Wished to provide a minimum base for the education of school age children. It is very easily seen that over a per iod of time a child attending school on these double shifts suffers a serious loss in instruction and achievement and is placed at a definite disadvantage in comparison with pupils having knefit of a full day’s schooling. “Even those children who are penalized by a half-day i schedule for only one year lose about 20 per cent of their school time. I he single, four hour session deprives them of an hour a day, on the average. By the end of the school year this curtailment adds up to a two month loss. “Morning or afternoon, as a matter of fact, brings the fatigue that arises from a tight schedule. Both child ren and teachers feel hurried and are never relaxed: There is never quite enough time to finish a job.’’ z Well! Do the mothers and fathers of Brookings realize that some of the children here have k e n double shifting for five years and more. At 20 per cent a year— for 5 years—the child is k h in d his contemporary in other schools by a full year! But the worst is apparently yet to come. The school population of Brookngs and I larbor continues to grow, and yet so many people seem to have do-nothing atti tudes. What apparently started out as a temporary tneas* ure has now developed into a permanent thing—and we as publishers—and as parents just don’t like it. The effects of half day schedules? Mr. Derthick says “ The effects of half day schedules and overcrowding are of two types: those of the past that have already den ied our children of their educational rights, and those of the future that will determine the security of our citi zens and the position of our nation in relation to the other countries of the world. >. “For the past decade our children on half day sched ules and in overcrowded classrooms have lost a portion of their basic education: been neglected and submerged in the mass instructed classroom: suffered frustration at higher grade levels kcause of inadequate preparation: and have been subjeted to circumstances conducive to drop outs and delinquency.’’ The facts are plain, but a question rem ains........... what are we going to do aknit it?
