A proposal to establish the
12-month or year-round school in
Washington's public schools has
been made by the State Board of
Education.
The proposal for such an
operation is included in the
1971-73 budget request of State
Superintendent Louis Bruno,
endorsed by a resolution adopted
earlier this year by the State
Board of Education. The state
superintendent serves also as
president of the State Board of
Education.
Bruno said he will ask the
1971 legislature for funds to
establish 14 pilot projects around
the state (two in each of the
state's seven congressional
districts) in order to let
communities develop the type of
year-round school which would
best suit that community's needs.
He pointed out that there is
no one, single, year-round school
plan - there are literally dozens.
They can be separated into three
basic concepts: the four-quarter
system; the three-quarter system
and the extended semester or
11-month system. However, there
are many variations and
combinations, too, so each school
district must examine all
proposals in the light of its own
needs and situation, he said.
"Our present nine-month
school year is an anachronism
dating from the last century,"
Bruno said. "Years ago, when
children were important members
of the labor force on the nation's
farms, the operation of schools
had to conform to the needs of an
agricultural economy. Schools
took second place to the seasonal
demands of crops and cows.
"Obviously that's no longer
the case, with communities
supporting multi-million-dollar
facilities that depend upon an
annual national public
expenditure of $21 billion. In
spite of the rising school costs and
expanding educational
requirements (~r ~he twentieth

POOR ECONOMY
"A penny saved
is a penny earned."
All too true, but
medication saved could De
medical disaster. Prescriptions
stored in the medicine cabinet
after the illness has passed are
poor economy. Many will lose
their potency and
effectiveness. Others can
increase in potency and
become potentially dangerous
substances. If you, for some
reason, want to retain a drug --
check with your physician as
to its stability on your shelf,
and on the advisability of
retaining it. In no case should
you self-medicate with these
left-over drugs. You may think
you have the same condition,
and you may be right; but if
you are wrong, you can cause
yourself considerable harm.
When a course of illness has
passed, destroy leftover
medications.

century, most of these buildings
still stand idle during the old 'sow
and harvest' season.
"Better ways must be found
to use school facilities and
manpower. The schoolhouse
doors should not be close at 3:00
each day. Schools should employ
their buildings all day and their
teachers all year."
The National Association of
State Boards of Education is
considering a resolution at its
national meeting this month to
"advocate full, year-round use of
school facilities for all educational
programs in the community."
The American Assocaition of
School Administrators has urged
educators to "reexamine the
almost universal practice of
leaving school plants and
personnel idle at a time in our
history when every available
resource is needed." They have
published a booklet which looks
at the pros and cons of five
different plans.
"It's not surprising that the
vacation issue creates the most
opposition to the year-round
school," Bruno said. "It's
interesting, though, that a recent
national survey shows an
increasing trend away from
summer as the vacation period:
14 per cent of vacationers prefer
their holiday in the spring, 12 per
cent in the winter and 23 per cent
in the fall. That's almost half who
do not prefer summer vacations.
"This state's precarious
dependence upon special
property-tax levies for financing
operations makes it even more
important that expensive school
buildings not stand unused in the
summer. Summer school is only a
partial solution, not the answer.
''Several states are
experimenting with various plans
- Kentucky, Georgia, Delaware,
Illinois, Missouri, New York. Some
of our own school districts -
Seattle, Spokane, Kent - are
examining the idea, too.
"It's no longer a question of
'whether' we should have schools
operating all 12 months of the
year. The question now is 'when'

SKIP McCONKEY is opposed to dictatorial controls. "The idea that price and
wage controls can stop inflation is false. Inflation must be stopped by attacking
the cause -- namely, deficit government spending. We know from history that
price and wage controls will destroy jobs, close clown industry and business,
create a shortage of goods, create a black market, and in general, force us into a
depression. I would very definitely work towards a reduction of government
spending and a balanced budget."

necessary commitments in the
state), we have kept close track of
the excellent work you have been
doing for Keep Washington Green
and forest fire prevention.
I am sure your visits to the
campgrounds and recreation areas
have been most productive in
preventing wild fires - how many
we will never know. As you have
been telling our recreation
visitors and school children as
well, each fire that never started
could have averted a disastrous
and devastating loss in
suppression costs and in our
natural resources - not only in
trees and forest products but in
soil damage, watershed
destruction, wildlife losses and
adverse effects on recreation.
Largely because of lightning,
1970 was the worst fire year we
have experienced since 1931. Of
the over 3,000 fires started, 67
per cent (over 2,000) were
man-caused and 33 per cent
(I,000) lightning-caused. Of the
over 200,000 acres burned,
however, 95 per cent was because
of lightining fires and 5 percent
(or. about 10,000 acres) because
of man's negligence.
The number of man-caused
starts is the highest since 1939.
