New Bill Proposes Year-Round School
TOPEKA (AP)—Proponents of a bill which would put Kansas' public elementary and secondary education system on the quarter mile would have to school year told a legislative committee Tuesday it would "improve the options" for students and teachers and educators.
A House Education Committee intended to testimony from school official Jim E. Grant, R-E) Desor Ervin
Witnesses included Merle Bolton, superintendent of Topeka schools; Herbert I. Bruning, associate superintendent of the Topeka school district; Bruce Stallard, superintendent of the Wichita schools; Bob Woohten, Kansas-National Education Association, and Grant Ballard's comments were re-reported to the committee by a tape recorder
THE BILL initiating the quarter system in Kansas for public education is a product of a special interim education program at 12 Hose sponsors, representing both political parties.
It would put all school districts on the quarter system, but give them the option of holding classes three quarters—to get in the classroom for teaching days—or four quarters for a full 240 teaching days.
Teachers would be required to teach three quarters and could teach the fourth quarter, at their students' request. Students could attend school any three quarters or all four quarters if their district opened its doors.
Drafters of the bill conceived that were problems which could arise because it was not specific enough, and that they said clearer language could easily be written into the bill to handle those problems before the bill passed.
RELUCTANCE WAS VOiced by some committee members in question, indicating a fight might lie ahead before the committee acts on the complaint.
Basic advantages of the quarter system, Grant said, are better utilization of school facilities in the light of taxpayer discontent over expanding those classes. It has no curriculum options for students
However, Bolton warned that there was a great need to educate the general public toward the concern of year-round school.
BRUNING AGREED with Bolton on the good of the concept, but said the Kansas bill as well did not answer many questions unanswered.
Bruning said, however, that these could be worked out with a revision of technical language
Stallard said, "We see lots of advantages," and said criticism should be raised as a traditional practice that children should go to school in winter and summer.
Stallard said this concept two centuries old and had its origins in the early 19th century, which needed its young to help with harvest in the summer. This argument is no longer valid, he said. Stallard calls of "Kansas school districts"
Wooten said K-NEA has supported the philosophy of year around school.

Treaty Subject Of Indian Suit
OAKLOMA CITY (AP) — The federal government was sued for $160 million Tuesday by two lawyers on charges of "engaging on treaty provisions."
The suit, filed in U. S. D. District Court by the Kiowa-Apache Tribal Business Council and the Kiowa-Apache Rights Association, seeks $80 million in punitive damages to be distributed pro rata to tribal members and another $80 million of rights provided for in the treaties.
It contended the government had not provided each member of the government with the acres of land as set forth in treaty agreements, and had attempted illegally to weaken the rights of Kuwait and Kiswa and Kiawata-Abache Confederacy.
A spokesman said the suit was designed to break the control of the bureaucracy of Indian affairs over the land rights that he said this control deprives the tribe of self-determination and economic progress while depriving the individual Indian of his land rights and personal rights.
