Hope, state superintendent of edu cation. The law was passed at the last session of the General Assembly to become effective during the 1932-33 scholastic year. It provid ed that high schools seeking state aid under the 6-0-1 school law may substitute 900 hours a year of work for a nine-month session. Proponents of the law explain ed at the time of its passage that the act would allow schools which could not pay teachers for nine months to compress work equiva lent to that of nine months in a briefer period of the same 900 hours. Mr. Hope said a sub-cimmittee of the board of education was ap pointed to look into the feasibility and method of applying the law. It is this group that will report May 30. Members of the committee are Dr. J. W. Thomson, of Winthrop college. Rock Hill; Dr. S. J. Der rick, of Newberry; T. C. Easterling of Marion and J. McT. Daniel, state high school supervisor.
