TOMORROW. ' "The Primrose Path," at the Lyric tomorrow, a five-reel : drama adapted from the Broadway success by M. B. Havey and produced by Lawrence Marston. the veteran stage and' mov

ing picture director, with Qladys Han

son in the leading role, ' is now "ready for release on the Universal regular .program as a Broadway Universal Feature. Miss Hanson is now preparing

" "When "Tin Primrose Path" was pur

chased by the Universal Film Manu

facturing company for one of its Justly famous Broadway Universal Features, it was realized by the officers of the company that the leading role would require the services of a strong emot

ional actress.

TONIGHT, i Life in the forest is apt to bring out f Individuality. For the leading charI acter in his two-reel Laemmle drama, "Missy," at the Lyric tonight, Lynn Reynolds has taken a young and beau- ; tiful ' girl who had grown up untram- ' meled by the restraints and swaddling

ciotnes or modern city ure. sne uvea her life as freely as young panther; her actions were as spontaneous, her feelings as natural, her body as lithe, strong and beautiful and her temper as uncertain and dangerous as - the wild cats of the mountain forests where she lived. Her love was unein-

Tha explanation of this

to lengthen ths school day la found in the fact that there haa been introdnced into the schools a considerable

amount of handwork, physical training, drama Oca, gamea and organised

play. While the curriculum consist ed

almost exclusively of tha "Three R's" the school day was all too long. Now that the health of School children la being conserved batter in the school than In many homes, that tha educa

tional value of play la being recognised In tha school, and band work la

adding variety and interest to its work many children prefer remaining at the school house to tha allurements

of the street. Tha school Is constantly being called upon to serve the children of the city not only In more ways

but also for a longer' portion of the

day and year.

Such in brief are few of the facta to

be considered by Richmond In fixing

the length of her school day.

"Gosh, it's easy to spend S20. Iti didn't take me any time at all to tell how I'd treat my friends If I had that money. It's a good thing, though I thought about Chunky." As he said this, Albert Chrow, 14, South Twelfth street, who Is a pupil in class S-B In Oarfleld school produced a copy of the manuscript he had turned in to his teacher. The manuscript with hundreds of others written by pupils in the grade schools has been sent' to Superintendent Giles where they will be examined. Recently the superintendent told the teachers to have the children write a story of how they would spend $20 on five friends. This is the way that Albert's manuscript read : "I have twenty dollars that I think I will spend on my five friends. So on half of it I started them each a bank account. Then I called around to take them up town. They were very glad to go. First I took them into a store and bought them each a dollar sweat

er. Then having five dollars left I decided to show them a good time. "We went to an ice-cream parlor

and got a soda which was twenty-five cents. This left us four dollars and seventy five cents. We then went to the show. This took away fifty cents. Then we took a long street car ride which cost fifty cents. After this It was getting kind of dark and Chunky, one of the boys began to say something about eats. So we went to the restaurant. - "This cost one dollar twenty-five cents. After we were threw we decided that the best plan was to go home. But before starting- I gave them each a fifty cent piece and told them to make good use of it which they did by putting It In their banks. "They thank me so much that I don't want to. hear that word thanks again for months. One good thing I learnt them how to saye money."

SCENE from. "TMr HAUNTEP STATlOH "

The ingenuity of the writers who are responsible for the thrilling "Hazards of Helen" railroad pictures is frequently put to the test in evolving new exploits for the daring Helen Gibson to perform. There is a touch of surprising cleverness and originality about the feat which Helen attempts in "The Haunted Station" and which is shown In the photograph above. Helen, pur- ' sued by a demented ex-telegrapher, has raced down the track, only to find that the drawbridge is being elevated to allow a ship to pass. Her frantic , cries attract the attention of the workmen on the bridge, and they throw down a rope. She then makes the perilous thirty foot climb hand over hand on the swaying rope, with her pursuer climbing after her. A fall from a semaphore is responsible for the weakening of the former operator's mind. When the latter disappears and ms nat nna coat are round on the river bank it is thought that he is a suiciae, and a successor is appointed for the lonely station. But the startling reapneara nee of the demented operator causes tne successor to think hat his chost ia hauntlns the 'station.

and the latter nickname is soon th railroad description of the post. After the supposedly dead man's actions have caused many male operators to resign, Helen is finally asked if she will take the job, which she does. Her first night on the lonely vigil Is interrupted by the appearance of the crazed operator, and she spends a terrifying night while he pursues her. In the morning she seems about to be caught when he has pursued her to the roof of the station, but she leaps to a freight train on a nearby track, and from there to. the. ground. She sets oft down the track, with her pursuer gaining at every step. ( The suspense is tense when she seems baited at the river bank, owing to the fact that the drawbridge is being elevated. , The perilous climb that follows-is easily .one of the most thrilling of the many daredevil feats she has performed in this Kalem series, which is gaining for her the title of "the most daring girl in motion pictures." Truth to tell, it is an unenviable title to hold, when one consders the day by day events that she is called upon to perform in order to hold it

effective means of dealing with slow or "bad" pupils? What is the proper

tengtn or a school day? Pupils Are Coached.

This much may be said for the back

ward pupil, if the necessity formerly

existed, for the teacher to take extra time for him it does not now. Arrangements are such now that the building principals and kindergarten teachers, all of whm with two or

three exceptions, teach half time only devote a part of their time to coach

ing those pupils who need their help.

This Plan has assisted greatly in raising the percentage of promotions In the city. It also does away with the necessity of an extra half hour at the close of the day for additional work by the teacher. Again, the bright pupil has an eaual right to the teacher's individual assistance and direction.' 'Educators are more an ' more convinced that in the past the welfare of the child with more than average ability has been neglected and that the loss resulting from this neglect Is greater than the gain derived from the extra attention paid to the slower pupilsj The bright

child is entitled to . as much , of .-.then

schools' time and effort as the dull one. . Practice Is Dropped. "Keeping In" as a punishment for misconduct is not practiced as extensively today as formerly. The results of the practice are of doubtful value.

iThat Richmond should devote almost

I one-tenth of the school time to legalj izing this form of punishment would

nui ue aeienaea Dy any one. If the above arguments are valid, it would seem that a definite time should be fixed for the dismissal of schl.

It remains to determine the lencth

of the school day. As shown above it

is now ornciaiiy 315 minutes erin

sive of recesses, but practicallv for the majority of children it Is 285 minutes

How is the proper time to be deter

mined:

On a question of this nature where

maiviauai opinions would differ indef

initely, tne common practice of the country Is perhaps the safest guide.

r orxunateiy tne facts necessary to de termlne this are at hand. Published Statistics.

on Nov. 1. 1915, Superintendent Rickert of the Connersville

published the report of an Investigation of 24 Indiana cities giving the time of beginning and closing the school sessions and the length of the

Eciiuui uay. ine average length of

school day, exclusive of recesses, reported for these 24 cities was 305 minutes. Only one other city reported as short a school day as Richmond and that was followed by a question

mar indicating doubt as to its correctness.

The Fourteenth Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, issued last year, published the report of an investigation hv rr

Holmes giving similar facts for fifty larger cities of the U. S. representing all parts of the country. The a vera pa

length of school day in these, fifty cit

ies, exclusive or recesses, is 301 minutes. This indicates that the practise throughout the United States is fairly

constant ano mat a school day of slightly in excess of 300 minutes is

generally accepted. School Day Shorter.

It must be borne in mind, also, that the school day for the first m-arto ia

forty minutes shorter than that Indicated above and for the second grade twenty minutes shorter. And further that exceptional children, below the normal in health or physical condition may be excused regularly for a

pan 01 me scnooi day under the di

rection 01 a pnysician.
