Superintendent of Schools F. f. Hitch
ngs has made arrangements with the
weather bureau by which the pupils of
the North and South Grammar schools
and those in the Myrtle street building
shall have a chance to study the weather
in connection with the regular work in
the biographies.
To the average pupil the air currents as
studied in the text books and the weather
reports in the daily papers are wholly
without meaning. This is especially true
of the weather reports as published in the
daily papers.
In order taat the reports may be more
Ineligible and have n meaning to the pu-
pills. the daily weather reports will be
placed in the school buildings which have
been mentioned. These charts are the
same as those which are sent out to a
great many newspapers and especially 10
the keepers of life saving stations and in
places where seafaring men may receive
the benefits of them. Each chart contains
marks indicating where the storm centers
are and in which direction the storms are
to move, thus foretelling whar the
weather will be during the next day or
two.
In addition to the charts, Superinten-
dent Hitchings has sent for a book cX-
planning the use of the charts When the
course has been completed the pupils will
have a much more thorough idea of the
meaning of the flags floating over the
store of Hon. p. S. Head and of the fore
cast as announced in the newspapers than
the average person in daily life.
1t is planned to have one Of the pupils
keep record Of the weather. later on
when the students have been taught the
complete workings of the system.
This same plan of work is carried out
in many of the larger cities in the State
and especially in Massachusetts, and has
been found to work for the greatest BEN
eft of the students.
