The campaign planned by the teachers to effect an approximate equalization of educational opportunity includes an effort to increase the minimum length of term as well as efforts to secure more state aid and better trained teachers for the poorer districts. "It is claimed by the teachers that school terms of only seven months do not comply with the 'efficient system' promised in the Constitution or with modern requirements and standards of education. The necessity for long terms is recognized by most of the districts in the state; for most of the children of Illinois are provided with annual sessions of nine or more months, and over 90 per cent of the elementary pupils are given eight months or more. Many other pro- gressive states have decided that school terms of seven months are not suffi- cient for their children. Twenty-one states require a minimum of eight months or more; among them are California, Connecticut, Maryland, Michigan, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania, West Virginia, and others. "The Illinois state course of study outlines work sufficient for eight months or even more, and the children having only seven months school find themselves seriously handicapped in trying to do the work outlined, or they are given a more meager curric- ulum. It is found that young children who are out of school five months in the year forget much of what they learned in the brief seven months term. "As a rule the districts with short terms get the cheap, untrained and in- experienced teachers; for teachers cannot afford to pay for thorough preparation and then teach only seven months in the year. Recent studies show the weakness of high school students who come from elementary districts having short terms; for such high school students show a high per- centage of failure and weakness espe- cially in those subjects that must be neglected in elementary schools with short terms. For these reasons no opposition should be made to a bill providing for a minimum school term of eight months a year." Mrs. O. P. Olson of 736 Roger ave, Kenilworth, entertained at luncheon and bridge on Thursday, March 24. Mme.
