a BANGOR DAILY NEWS, MONDAY. NOVEMBER 15, 1926. WHAT BANGOR SCHOOLS NEED (By. Charles The writer of these few paragraphs, he not profess to write of the Bangor school from accurate or complete knowledge. He happens to have been associated with educational work, pupil, superintendent or teacher from his sixth year to the present hour.

Accordingly, with many others in Bangor, he is deeply interested in the efficiency of the Bangor school aystem and with many others he is conscious that our schools have some very great needs. MORE SCHOOL BUILDINGS. The primary need in Bangor is for more and better school buildings. It 1a absolutely impossible for the teachers to do good work when the schools are overcrowded as they are at present. Certain examples of congestion have thrust themselves upon my attention.

In the new Fairmount school, the kindergarten enrollment is so large that it is necessary for the three teachers to hold two sessions, one in the morning, and another in the afternoon. This is not only an injustice to those teachers, but it is a grave wrong to the children, who must go to school in the afternoon. Every parent and teacher in these days surely ought to know that every child of kindergarten age needs after dinner rest and play in the sunshine of the early afternoon. The school is ignoring the advice of the medical profession and defeating what ought to be its own purpose when it keeps little children in school from 1.30 to 3 p. m.

A similar condition prevails in the high school. The lack of class rooms makes it necessary to hold an afternoon session. This means, 11 I 8.00 correctly informed, that the freshmen after an ill-timed noon day meal have recitations from 12 p. m. to 4.15 p.

m. and a study period from 4.15 p. m. to 5 p. m.

Probably every teacher would agree that, in the morning hours, the mind of the pupil is most alert, recepjaded and tired. Probably every afternoon it is apt to be sluggish, and that in the afternoon it becomes paded and tired. Probably every teacher would also agree that the eucess of the pupil depends more largely than is commonly realized upon what is actually done in the class room. How seriously the high school is handicapped in the upper classes by overcrowding the writer does not know, but certainly the unhappy arrangement of an afternoon session must make it more difficult for freshmen and the parents of freshmen to have confidence and pride in their Probably more serious is the congestion in the grammar schools. This makes it necessary in the Hannibal Hamlin school (one is tempted to call it jail) for some of the children to spend the greater part of the school day in sunless basement rooms which must at all times be artificially lighted.

It is certainly unwise economy, while the city is paying school doctor, nurse and physical director build up the health of the children, to a tolerate hygienic conditions in the schools which make the maintenance of health if not impossible yet at any rate very difficult. Furthermore, when congestion means, as it does in Bangor, the retention not only of backward children but of morons in school rooms with children years younger that themselves, a situation of grave, moral peril. is created. But even where the school rooms are well lighted and ventilated, and where the children are approximately of one intellectual standard, the number of children entrusted to a single teacher is altogether too large. Whereas in certain states the maximum legal number of pupils for any one teacher does not exceed thirty, some teachers in Bangor have forty and fortyfive.

This deprives the pupils of indiviluad attention, forces the conscientious teacher to lengthen the school hours that are already too long, to super impose home work, which, under favorable conditions, could be done in school, and in short makes efficient teaching a sheer impossibility. Bangor needs more school buildings. HIGHER SALARIES FOR TEACHERS. Along with more schools, Bangor needs better paid teachers. One cannot imagine any intelligent, well-informed citizen any measure of pride the salaried list of the Bangor teachers.

It ought to fill our citizens with humiliation and shame to discover that we pay such miserable pittances to those to whom is entrusted a most difficult and all iportant work. The small salary is an obvious handicap in the securing of good teachers, and in the retaining of the services of those who have proved their worth. Recently, I asked a Bangor Beta Kappa graduate from the University No Need to Cough Night After Night Balsam Has No Equal For. Conquering Hang-On Coughs After all there Is no take present day of cough this syrup old time that can the place proven prescription made from the rarest herbs, nature offers for soothing stopping coughs, This old fashioned herb balsam is for the stubborn hang-on cough that keeps you awake nights, and it is this kind of a cough it quickly conquers.

Gordon Cumming) of Maine, young man of intelligence and character, purposing to make teaching his life work, why he did not apply for a in His reply came promptly, the salar.ca too low." To be sure, owing to sp cal circumstan Bangor has retained the services of some excellent teachers, but, on the other hand, it is certainly a fact that the city is continually suffering seriously in the departure of teachers to other cities, where there is paid salary somewhat more commensurate with the dignity and importance of the teaching profession. But even when the city secures and retains the services of intelligent and faithful teachers, that is not sufficient in these days to guarantes efficient teaching. Everywhere it is being required that teachers should attend summer schools in order to keep pace with the progress that is being made in their profession. Not long ago a questionaire was sent out to our Bangor teachers, asking, among other things, what summer schools or institutes they had recently attended. Considering the salaries paid to our teachers that question must have seemed 1m- pertinent rather pertinent.

No Bangor teacher, them, dependent wholly upon his salary for support, can afford the financial outlay that attendance at summer schools necessitates. Bangor may continue to receive, in the case of certain teachers excep-4 tionally circumstanced, vastly more than it pays for, but in general this city will never have an efficient school system until it repents of its niggardliness. Bangor needs better paid teachers. INTELLIGENT CITIZEN SUPPORT In addition to more school buildand higher salaries for teachers, the Bangor school system needs the intelligent support of the citizens. And be it remembered that there is intelligent support that is not critical.

New England cities have an unusually large percentage of citizens who have had as much or more academic training than the teachers. Moreover, working at a trade, carrying on a business, managing a home, all have great educational value, and many who do such things could give valuable insight to the teachers as to the preparation for life which the school ought to give the children. It is not enough to have Parent-Teacher associations. If the sole purpose of the ParentTeacher associations is to show a few parents the inside of the school rooms, provide an hour's entertainment and raise small sums for the purchase of school or playground equipment, then busy teachers and busy parents cannot be expected to assume this additional burden. On other hand, if there could be in the Parent-Teacher associations a serious consideration of the educational problem, an honest and frank interchange of opinions and, as a consequence, intelligent, unselfish cooperation of parent and teacher, much might be accomplished.

In the grammar schools and particularly in the high school, there are racial and religious differences which make the creation of school loyalty and the maintenance of school morale diffcult. Yet wise and strong leadership on the part of the teachers together with intelligent cooperation on the part of parents could make this apparent handicap a great asset, and the racial and religious difference within school would only serve to make the education imparted broader, counder and worthier. THESE NEEDS IMPERATIVE The needs mentioned above -(1) more schools, (2) higher salaries. (3) cooperation of parents with teachers, are primary, fundamental and imperative. The failure to meet these needs must inevitably result in efficient education.

The responsibility for the inefficiency in such a case, rests not upon the teachers, but upon city which fails to give them the necessary support. The inmediate consequence of that failure will: be that parents intelligently concerned for the welfare of their children will have to withdraw them not only from the high school but also from the grammar schools, in order that they may gain elsowhere and adequate education. The ultimate consequences will be, not a Bangor financial is a saving but residential a financial loss. city. Many of the families moving into the city from the rural districts come becauce of the cultural advantages which this city is supposed to offer.

There is no more certain way of turning away population and wealth than by failing to maintain the efficiency of the school system. MEETING THE NEEDS It is easy to state the fundamental needs of the sehools; it is quite a different matter to find the money. But if the money cannot be found, then it would be simply good common sense to limit our efforts to the essential things well equipped school rooms, competent teachers, a reasonable number of pupils to each teacher and to sacrifice the special instruction in music, penmanship, drawing, physical culture and manual training. But it surely ought not to be necessary to do that. The appropriation for education ought to be increased to the limit, and then private philanthropy ought to come to the help of the children in a large way.

What wealth can be made to do for the enrichment. of the city's life is being every day illustrated by our splendidly endowed and lously efficient Public Library. There is sufficient wealth and brain in Bangor to make sure that New England culture and New England character perish not from out this city.
