In 25 workshop seminars, the delegates were asked if they felt summer school programs should be offered to advanced students to allow them to graduate- from high school within three years; whether a saving in maintenance costs would be realized if the buildings were utilized longer than nine months, and should teachers salaries be increased if the school year was extended. On the separate question sheets the conferees were asked 'their recommendation for an ideal school year if they favor extending the state's present 180-day term The selection ranged from a full 12 months or five and one- half day school weeks to 190 days.

The- conference also was asked to evaluate current statutes that a person must attend school until 17 or quit at 16 if they have a job. They were asked if the 17 year maximum should be increased or decreased. Another question asked if students should not be allowed to quit school at 1'4 or 15 if they were not "benefiting from school work." Against "Soft" coursts During Tuesday's initial session the conference indicated it will recommend that the "soft" courses be dropped from public school curricula and more and stronger doses of mathematics, science and English be offered or required of graduates. Response to selected questions showed the delegates overwhelmingly favored: --Four-year courses In science and mathematics, with general science required for ninth grade students. --More homework for students Probe "Pressure" On Principal Who Committed Suicide NEW YORK (UP)-A grand jury investigating violence in schools prepared today to question board of education officials about "presssure" on a principal who committed suicide shortly before he was to have testified a third time about juvenile crime in his school.

He had been scheduled to appear a few hours later at his own request before a Kings County grand jury that has been looking into lawlessness in public schools in Brooklyn.

A member of the-school system 33 years and John Marshall principal since 1954, he was reported greatly disturbed by publicity resulting from th.e_ grand jury Investigation. He also was caught in the middle of a controversy between the grand jury and the New York Board of Education over proposals to assign policemen to vio- lencef-ridden schools.

The grand jury three times has handed up presentments calling for such action. The school board has called the proposal "unthinkable." But some relaxation of the board's stand was indicated Tuesday with disclosure that Superintendent of Schools William Jansen is notifying all principals that they may have a policeman stationed inside their schools if they request one. It is up to each principal to decide, Jansen said. Poke Make Wife Searth for "Mid Dog" Killer ol Six LINCOLN, Neb.
