TEN MONTHS TERM TO LIGHTEN WORK SAYS J. H. BENTLEY

The 10 month school term would mean a lightening of the work of the ' teachers instead of increased work, J. , H. Bentley, superintendent of schools, declared Thursday night In defending the recent . action of the school board before the city couircil. i Mr. Bentley argued that the plan of lengthening the term to 10 months would provide for more recreation for , toe children. He pointed out that at the present time only 15 minutes could be allowed for recreation, whereas under, .the proposed system a period three times as long Could be set aside. The school head declared that the attention of children was distracted from their work by ajong Intermission and that in many. cases It was necessary under the present system to spend several weeks at the beginning of a term in reviewing the work of the previous semester. Mr. Bentley said that the necessity of reviewing caused the teachers to crowd into the remaining months of the term the work of the whole period. This condition, he argued, would be remedied to a great extent by the proposed plan. Denied More Work Charge.

The superintendent denied that the board was trying to force the teachers to do more work but stated that the

work would bo lighter under the 10

month plan as the strain on teachers and pupils " would not be so great. Crowding the work of the year Into nine months caused both instructors and students to work under a pressure that prevented the most thorough work, he said. "The board considered lengthening the school year in; Richmond last

year.

Mr. Bentley said, "but the nhn Horace D. Huddleston, heirs of Su

could not be carried out at that time

because of financial conditions." He pointed out a number of other cities that havg the 10 month system. Aftet Mr. Bentley's statement the question was thrown open to discussion by resolution. Councilmen Ford, Williams, Thatcher, Waldele, Stegman, Schneider and Schweizer were present at the meeting. A number of townspeople and representatives of women's organizations attended the meeting and were invited by Mayor Zimmerman to express their sentiments. Many Increases Small In answer to a question by Councilman Ford, Superintendent Bentley admitted that many teachers received a very small Increase in salary under the proposed plan and that the maximum Increase would probably be $300. The school board was urged to consider the lengthening of the term and the Increases in teachers' salaries as separate matters on the ground that

to give each matter a fair considera

uon mey Bnouia not De considered as a Joint proposition. Byram Robblns, as counsel for the Teachers' federation, presented the teachers' side of the wage question and pointed out that the proposed increase would amount to a very small advancement for the instructors. Figuring on a basis of nine months, Mr. Robblns declared that the Increase would amount to only 17 per cent.

Rice Will Supervise

Home Garden Work in Connection With Schools Home garden work In Richmond this year will be supervised by E. E. Rice, of the Garfield school faculty, according to an announcement made Friday. All school children are to be enlisted In the home garden project and work will be started immediately. The appointment of Rice comes through the Richmond Red Cross. The moral advantages, as well as physical and financial benefits to be derived from home gardens, has led private individuals and organizations to take up this very important work. Special emphasis will be laid on the planting of potatoes this year. In 1917, potatoes rose to $4 60 a bushel, and In the following summer everyone planted potatoes. Consequently the following winter saw potatoes ranging around the $1.50 to $2 mark. Very little attention was paid last summer to planting potatoes and Richmond is now forced to pay 11 cents a pound for "spuds." New Sewer Cleaner Is

Tested Out hy Engineer City Engineer Davis and his corps of assistants tested a new type of nozzle Friday morning in the sewer at the corner of South Seventh and South C streets. It promises to revolutionize the present method of cleaning out sewers that are stopped up. The new type of nozzle operates on the same principle that sends a skyrocket shooting up Into the air the downward push of the series of exnlosions. In the same way the nozzle

is forced forward by rour streams oi water that shoot out backward. These backward streams serve two purposes.

They force the nozzle forward and at the same time wash away the dirt and rubbish as the nozzle plows steadily ahead. The hose is attached to the nearest hydrant and the line with the nozzle

is lowered into tne sewer

WHITE HOUSE FLOCK OF SHEEP IS ENLARGED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 7. The White House flock of sheep which got its start three years ago in a modest corral on the South grounds, has outgrown its pasturage and soon is to have the run of virtually the whole extent of parks and lawn surrounding the executive mansion. A wire netting was put up today around the few flower beds and rare

rhrubs from which alone the sheep j are to be excluded. Arrival of a score I of spring lambs increased the flock to I 48 and it soon cropped the stretch of !

iawn south or the white house, where It hitherto has been confined.
