It is now known to be the desire
of many children, and of more than '
the schools can accommodate, to j
shorten the number of school years 5
and stick to their lessons with the
idea of getting to work earlier. There
is an urge among young persons to j
get on an earning basis. They have i
* seen father and mother perplexed
with the task of paying the grocery J
hill and keeping up the payments on '
the house. They have dreamed for j
ymn of being able to bear part of !
the burden resting on mother and
1 ! father, perhaps especially on mother, j
" | That may be the reason for children's
eagerness to go to Summer school. J
It is a little too much to believe that
j 1 they tax the capacity of the expand
ing Summer schools because of hun
r I ger for learning. It is announced
I that many children will be turned
r | away from the Washington Summer
! schools, which will be opened July fi.
Registration of pupils is larger every
| year.
