STUDENTS LIKE EIGHTH GRADE WORK

A., that | cannot desist from calling at
tention to the former request There
is movement now on foot in the
city to. establish municipal parks.
There could be nothing more appro-
pirate than to establish these In con-
nection with the schools. If the park
commission will not do this then the
board of education could not do bet
ter than to invest in grounds for this
purpose. We have no grounds for
athletics or for play of any kind
The boys of the High school in the
past four years have done much in
ian athletic way that has helped the
school and the school interest. This
has been done in the face of much
difficulty. From lethargy among
patrons and pupils they have devels
Ioped good football, baseball, tennis
and basketball teams. Interest in
these games has kept the students
off the streets and out of injurious
forms of amusement and exercise.
The training and dieting of the foot
ball season has developed marvel
Gus power of self-control among our
boys. The athletics has been under
the control of the faculty and
has been divorced from all
professionalism. This CT itself has
been victory worthy of all effort
put forth. Now all Of this has been
accomplished without the aid of the
board, and under much difficulty.
What we wish to urge is that the
board Immediately provide for out
door and indoor athletics, and give
its moral and financial support to the
boys and girls in their efforts to de-
velop themselves into strong and
useful men and women.
shorter Hours.
81 am still OF the opinion suggest
ed to you in former report that
the hours in the High school should
be shortened. We now have seven
recitation periods, and better work
would result with only six, the re-
Iquirement of our best schools. This
would afford time outside of school
hours to devote to public speaking,
reading, literary clubs, and athlet-
les. These activities could then be
required of all students and would
result in inestimable good to them.
Besides these special features that
are essential, the shortening of the
hours would afford the students an
opportunity of taking their music
outside OF school hours, and thus
avoid a great annoyance to the fac
ulty and an Interference with school
work.
