PARENTS WANT SCHOOL HOUR CHANGED. CITY POLL REVEALS Overwhelming Vote Shows Strong Sent'i- ment for New Starting Time That Chil- dren May Be Spared Trafhe Dangers. parents of Washington have re- sponded overwhelmingly in favor of the proposal to change school open- ing hours so as to withdraw school children from the dangerous maze of office traffic engulfing the schools each morning just before 9 o'clock. The census of public opinion heing conductedl by The Star by means of published ballots shows to date a 92 per cent vote in support of some shift in present school hours—the great majority favoring 9:30 instead of 9 o'clock the reporting hour for primary aml elementary pupils. Eight per cent of those desiring a change in the hours suggested 9:1; am. rather than 9:30, while about 4 per cent advocated moving the open- ing hour forward, instead of back- ward. Several in the latter group were in favor of 8:30 a.m., and one proposed 8456 a.m. Ballou to Get Results.

Five minutes after the school doors have closed on the last stragglers the congestion has completely disappeared, the investi- ors found, A number of voters, in addition to sending in their marked ballots, added their reasons for approving or disap- proving a change. Several int - ing suggestions are made for remedy- ing traffic dangers in school safety zones One of the novel recos 1endations was that of Mr. and Mrs, Otis C. Dix- on of 636 Lexington place northeast, hoth of whom want the opening hour moved backward to 9:30 a.m. They suggest that “The Lvening Star or <ome other big organization in Wash- ington organize a Safe Drivers’ Club, to protect children and purposely hlock any other motorist who does not have regard for young lives.” such clubs have functioned successfully in other cities, the letter declares. Urges Greater ‘Caution. (Greater caution by parents in send- ing their children to school is urked by (. Pellenbarg of 1470 Fuclid street, another advocate of the $:30 hour. “My hoy, who attends the Cook School, across Sixteenth street from our home, is always taken to school by his mother or by me,” Mr. Pellen- says, “but I notice that so many children go to school by themselves. T mean, .of course, little children. Jiven though traffic and police au- thorities are doing their utmost to safeguard children, [ am of the opin- jon that parents must not let small children go to school or come home by themselves wherever there are dangerous streets to cross. I think it is the duty of the parents to co- operate with the traffic department in protecting these children. It even seems that some paren do not ¢ what happens to their children, simply rely on the Police Department {o take care of them. "The writer adds that, if a later hour is established, parents should see to it that their children do not go to chool too far ahead of time, as they are wont to do in order to indulge in preliminary recreation. Such a prac- tice would counteract the good done by delaying the classes, he points out. Suggests Earlier Hour. Mrs. H. G. Towner of 1151 North Capitol street, writing in support of §:30 as the opening hour. explains that “practlcally the majority of peo- ple here are Government workers or clerks in stores, and must report for Juty at 9 a.m., creating heavy traffic | between 8:30 and 9 a.m. Those who | are on the streets between 8 and 8:30 | are not generally as pressed for time | us are the later ones, and consequent- ly exercise greater care in traveling at a moderate rate of speed. Also there would be many fathers who would be able to take their children to school as they went to office, if | the schools started at 8:30, and this would help to safeguard the children. John N. Cunningham of 132 R street northeast expresses the belief that a speed limit of 10 miles an hour in | the vieinity of schools will “eliminate all dange! A machine traveling that slow, he declares, could not in-} jure a child to a serious degree. Mrs. R. G. Morrisette of street, writing in favor of 9 against parking of automobiles blocks where schools are located. Most accldents, she says, are caused by children darting out from between parked cars “so suddenly that it is impossible for the motgrist to Hee them in time to avoid an accident.” She favors stationing a truant officer or teacher in the middle of the block to take the names of children Who cross in the midle of the block; in- stead of at the corner, and to report them to the principal of the school. Two leters have been received in plan as “absurd” and asserts that “few children are injured or killed on the way to school.” ~She decldres the later hours would interfere with after- school classes in elocution and music, and believes no good purpose would be served by keeping children out morning trafic “only to turn them out in the evening traffic.” The other, signed by B. H. Pull- man, who is president of the Manor Park Citizens’ Association, claims that a change “would disorganize the customs of the child and of the home. His letter in part follows: “For many years schools have opened at 9 a.m., and a change would disorganize the customs of the child and of the home, “We have always had dfngers of one kind and another on the streets, and they exist at all hours of the da “In some suburban communities there is no great traffic danger, as the schools are on other than main high- Ways. “T believe in safety and think the veal remedy fis for those driving vehicles of any description to exercise greater caution at street crossin particularly near schools or whe they groups of children zoing to or returning from school or en gaged in play.

The witness sald he thought that Chevy Chase presented one illustra- tion of & locality where there was no need for checkerboard streets. While Mr. Mitchell ‘was advocating national representation for the peo- ple of the District, he explained that many Washingtonians do not take ctive part in clvic affairs because of a feeling that “the Federal Govern- ment will run Washington anyhow, so why should we join these organi- zations.” He gave this explanation after Mr. Reld had_called attention to the small attendance at today's session of the committee. Mr. Mitchell also explained that recently the Senate and House District committees have paid more attention to District affairs than in the past. Urges More Sanitary Schools. A. H. Gregory of the school com- mittee of the Stanton Park Assocla- tion, called the attention of the com- mittee to the need for improving san- itary conditions in a number of the older &chool bufldings. Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, who has made a study of the needs of the Juvenile Court for the Kalorama As- sociation, was present to outline the needs of that court. Mr. Reld ex plained that Representative MeLeod of Michigan had appointed a special subcommittee to draft Juvenile Court legislation which would make it un- necessary for this committee to go into that question now. Jesse C. Suter, president of the Fed- eration of Citizens’ Associations and chalrman of thé Citizens' Advisory Council, notified the committee that the pressure of business prevented his attendance today, but expressed will- ingness to give the committee, in writing, his Views on ‘District affai Capt.

Then she called the Casualty Hospital ambulance. Treated by Hospital Doctor. Dr. O'Keefe treated the girls at the hospital and prorounced them out of danger. Although meither was be- lieved to have sfallowed enough pol- son to cause death, the quick and effl- cient work of Evelyn saved both great pain and bad after effects of the potion.
