our crayon to the Antlsceptlc,
sanitary, dustless and economci-
al crayon of the Atlas School
Supply Co., Of Chicago. But it
does not work on our blackboards
as successfully as did the crayon
of last year which was pure cal
cium carbonate, one stroke of
which was sufficient to fill the
room with a cloud of dust. We
believe it is best to use the dust
less crayon from asanitary stand
point. Death turks in dust. IT.
is always an ally of tuberculosis,
scarletina, measels, and other
contagious diseases. It collects
germs of many kinds and gives
them to unsuspecting victims.
In the school room dust is cap
able of conveying from one child
to another germs that may have
been picked up in distant places
or from the pupils themselves.
Moreover, it Injuries health in a
mechanical way by causing irri-
tation of the mucous membranes.
However, this dustless crayon
works beautifully on our slate
blackboards in the basement for
which this cray on is really intend
ed, it being too hard for the other
boards in the building.
Only in very recent years has
the conception of physical edu-
cation as an essential and fund.-
mental part of a child's training
found it's way into educational
theory and practice. Hence some
difficulties present themselves to
every system in which physical
education plays and should play
prominent part.
All departments in our system
are required ~to take physical
education and training daily and
in order that we may economic
and utilize time, the instructor
Of physical science deprives her
self of both recesses at which
time the Fifth and Sixth and
Seventh and Eighth grades take
their physical training. And it
is gratifying to note that the
students of these grades gladly
forego their one recess to take
this systematic physical educa-
ton.
For purposes Of training the
body directly and the mind indi-
rectly, one of three agencies
should be employed in every
school; namely, physical culture,
athletic and manual training.
In addition to the physical
qualities developed by physical
culture, athletics developes the
intellectual qualities of alertness,
self-con troll, executive ability and
"headiness' in a crisis; and the
moral qualities of courage, en-
durance, humility in victory and
fortitude in defeat. Manual
training teaches the student the
manipulation of those devices
which have lifted man from saw
agery and have brought him face
to face with the true dignity of
labor. Of these three agencies,
we are best prepared with our
facilities to place the stress upon
the physical culture and without
one of. these forms Of physical
education no school is doing it's
perfect work.
Miss Jessie Clint has begun
her school in the Scott district
and reports an attendance of ten
pupils. Miss Clint taught this
school last year and gave eminent
satisfaction. She received her
education under the tutorship of
Hon. w. L. Stockwell, of Grafton,
n. Oak, and training from such
a distinguished school master
would naturally prepare the
| pupil for a successful teacher.
The Gray school is under the
management Of Prof. G. T. Nor
rison who is a teacher of long and
valuable experience. He has
taught not only in this state but
also in the state of Washington
| He comes from a family Of
successful school teachers and
will give this district a good
| school.
