A SOPHOMORE TELLS HOW TO RUN THE SCHOOL If I could have my way about running this school, I would have it begin at nine o'clock in the morning and close at twelve-thirty. A half hour would be required for lunch. In my model school there would be one important thing-no home les- sons. We Would have a vacation after every three weeks to insure per- fect health. The summer vacation would start the last of April and end the last of October. When we came to school in the morning, we would make an outline of what we wanted to do that day, the program being something like this: the first two periods, Gym: the second two, study periods, and the last two, drawing or something not requiringa great deal of mental effort. Once in a while we would have the regular studies. C. A., '29. Teacher: Miss G- please take the next sentence, and next and next. Miss G- Creading from bookj: i'Slow up, please.
