Five Serious Mental and Physical Hancicaps Believed Caused by Leng Hours. The full-day schedule for first and second grade pupils in the District | schools is injurious to the growing | bodies of the children, hampers their recreational activities and in many cases creates serious mental and pl | cal handicaps, in the unanimous opin- ion of five prominent child health ex- | perts of Washington, expressed yester- |day. Their views were invited aficr {a number of Washington mothers com- piained of the lengthy hours their chil- | dren are required to spend in school. | Officials Defend Schedules. At the same time, school authorities of the District defended the full-day schedule, contending harm to children through the five-hour plan is rare and that the full-day program was insti- tuted only after a survey by the United States Bureau of Education revealed the majority of American citiss require daily sessions of five hours and more of first and second grade pupils. had frequently certified to school authorities that certain pupils should not be required to spend a full day in class and these pupils then were ad- mitted to part-time sessions. One de- clared in his opinion, the school calen. dar should be inverted so that children would attend school during the Sum- mer months when the longer daylight hours would give them more time for out-of-ddor play to compensate for time spent in class, and would be on vacation during December, January and February, when colds and the danger of contagion are rampant. Foote Opposes Plan. Dr. John Foote, professor of pedia- trics at Georgetown University, member of the Children’s Hospital staff, and author of “Safeguarding Children: Nerves” and other books, declared th: five-hour day for the first two or three elementary school grades “is entirely too long,” and “in many cases” is re- sponsible for nervous disorders of chil- dren. The danger of injury comes, Dr. Foote said, in placing sudden restraint upon young bodies and mentalities. He compared this imposition of restraint to a short-circuit in a motor. Dr. Foote is convinced a half-day schedule is all that should be exacted years of age. Dr. Joseph S. Wall, also a professor of pediatrics at Georgetown University and former president of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, declared the present five-hour system “is adsolutely atrocious.” Through that program, hoys and girls from 5 to 7 years of age are required suddenly to change their modes of living completely. Proper nourish- ment at home, he said, is e.'>hanged by the children for hasty meals at school. At the same time, the children are re- quired to remain in restraint in their | to taking their after-meal nap, which i essential to the growing child, he con. tended. Under the present program the first and second grade pupils, along with at 9 o'clock in the morning and quit at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, with one hour for lunch. On this schedule, Dr. Wall says, the children reach home red and without sufficient time to enjoy out-of-door play. The young: sters therefore are required to abandon suddenly thefr “child life” for the adult program at least two vears to soon, the doctor believes. Old System Lauded. cond grades were dismissed at 12:30 o'clock in . the afternoon, which, in the opinion of Dr. Wall, gave children ample opportunity to reach their homes in time for warm meals and naps. By. the time they reached the age of 8 years the children were better . pre- pared physically to undertake the more rigorous demands of the full-day school program. “In my opinion,” Dr. Wall said. “nothing has been more detrimental to the welfare'of our school children than the institution of the full-dav schedule for the younger children. The condi- tion arising from the present schedule is absolutely atrocious!” p Dr. Hugh J. Davis, practicing physi clan, who also is director of child hygiene and infant welfare in the Dis- trict Health Department, said he be- lieves the five-hour school day for fis and second grade pupils “is too great a strain on them.” The lack of fresh air, the sudden restraint on children and curtailed recreation produce in many cases effects which are detri mental to “the entire physi Dr. Davis said.

Besides advocating a half-day for younger school children, Dr. Davis would ask supervised play in the recrea- tional program of the younger boys and girls. Dr. James M. Moser, anothor child specialist, held to the same opinions ex- pressed by his fellow medical men. believes that every facility for develop- ment of a child by out-of-door recrea- tion should be retained and enhanced. Fresh air is essential to growing chil- dren, and confinement in classrooms for periods of five hours a day cannot pro- vide for them an adequate daily ratio: Dr. Edgar Copeland. another of Washington's child specialists, said ve: terday he was opposad to the five-hour day for first and second grade children solely because such a program keeps them indoors in a season which has so few hours for playtime. Copeland Favors Restraint. The restraint imposed th: | longer period is not seen as particu- larly alarming by Dr. Copeland, who said he “rather favors restraint and di cipline” for young school children. Dr. Frank W. Balou, superintendent of schools, said the five-hour day was instituted five vears ago, when it was found that in order to keep abreast of elementary school children throughout the country, Washington's children were obliged to undertake excessive work in | the upper grades of their elementary school course because of the slight pro- ram in the first two years. Before the change was made, however, the Bureau of Education w requested by local authorities to make a study of the | school-day * schedules in other citis | That survey showed. Dr. Ballou said yesterday. the vast majority of the cities ent their. children to school for fi and even five and a half hours a day “The best answer to criticism of the five-hour day,” Dr. Ballou said, “is that | such a day is the present practice. | it were felt by most people that five | hours in school each day is injurious to young children, school-peopl2 through- out the country certainly wou'd not r quire it.” Dr. Ballou explained further that the old half-day sghedule for tho first und econd grades resulted in a “damaging 1p” of work to be covered in accord- ance with the elementary school stand- ards of the United States. T=echers of Il’hc upper grades, he said, complained hey were obliged to crowd too much work upon their pupils because ground which could have been covercd earlier in the course, was not reached owing to part-time study. As a result of the crowding of the work at the eiementary school course Dr. Ballou sail, the per- | centage of student failures was high. ‘This percentage, he added, has been re- duced since introduction cf the five- hour day. 5] ugh a HOLD-UP FOLLOWS BLOW AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS Bag Is Thrown Over Head of Chauffeur Waiting for Car and Robber Gets $42. Knocked unconscious by a blow on the head after a bag had been thrown over him and tied around his neck, Richard Tucker, colored, 39 years old, of 1307 Ninth street, chauffeur for Arthur Peter, an attorney living in Alta Vista, Md., was robbed of 842 while waiting for a street car near his employer’s home about 11 o'clock last night. ‘Tucker told police that a large white man approached him at the car stop and inquired when the next car came along. Tucker replied that he did not know and the white man is said to have thrown a bag over his head and then struck him. Dazed by the blow, Tucker regained consciousness before his assailant departed and thinks he heard the voices of several other men. He’ removed the bag and hailed a passing motorist, who took him to Washington. After going to his heme he notified police.
