THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA SCHOOL PROGRESS SHOWN Terms Longer, Teachers Better Qualified and Rolls Larger in 1928. By the Assoclated Press. RICHMOND, Va., December 28.— Gains made in the public school system of Virginia during 1928 are listed in the annt “roll call of educational prog- ress” contained in the January num- ber of the Journal of the National Edu- aum Association, it is announced. report summarizing Virginia’s rogress during the year, as submitted gy Herris Hart, State superintendent ublic instruction, is as follows: provement in rural schools as to qusllflcntlon of teachers, length of term, total number of pupils having the bene- fit of a nine-month term, sanitary con- ditions of rural buildings. All incoming high schoo] principals must hold at least a bachelor's degree from & standard college. This regula- tion has been in force since september m1 Beginning September 1, 1929, all coming teachers in standard high achool must hold a college degree and all beginning teachers in elementary schools must hold an elementary certifi- cate, based on at least one year of col- lege training. The length of school term in Vir- ginia has been increased by roxi- mately five weeks during the years. The average school term in Vir- ginia now is 165 days, or eight months and one week. Approximately 6 per cent of all puplls are in school for nlne months each year, it was stated. Encouraging progress has been made in physical and health education, it was said. ~ All new school buildings are thoroughly sanitary and there has been brought ‘about a marked improvement in the sanftary condition of the’old buildings. Another phase of progress was point- ed out as being the new policy of hav- ing between forty and fifty elementary school superintendents employed in the rural districts for elementary schools. The employment of such superin- tendents, it was said, guarantees the greatest return possible to taxpayers for money paid out in salares. i S ‘The American Symphonie Ensemble which recently gave a Beethoven pro- gram in New York without a conductor, is the first orchestra established in this country with the leaderless concerts. This is afte fashion 'of the ‘Persimpans” Orchestra: of Moscow, which has successfully functioned for a number of years with- out a conductor. W. .
