Randall D. Warden, the director of ply
steal training, and his assistant, James
Cumberland, spent Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week and Monday and Wednes-
day Of this week In New York, where they
received much valuable information from
Miss Alice Faulhauber regarding the Gill
bert principles of aesthetic dancing, some
Of which are used In the local schools. Mr..
Warden intends to follow very closely the
lines OF the work of last year.
He declares that often he finds difficulty
in making the plans of work clear to the
teachers, and as a result OF this he in
tends to devote much more time than ever
before to the Normal school students, who
are all 'teachers-to-be.' In future he Will
instruct the members of the senior A and
3 classes from 1890 until 11:15 a. NJ, teach
ing games, and practical work in teaching
from the sylleabus used In the schools.
From His to I1:50 o'clock he win talk
to the junior students, forming the whole
school into companies, and giving lessons in
physical development. Last year the aver
age time of instruction which the Normal
School girls received from the physical
training instructor was so minutes per
week.
Drawing will be added TO the list of
teachers classes in the local evening
schools. The classes will be conducted by

will be located to suit the convenience of
the majority. There will also be teach-
ers' classes for the study OF music in the
Hamburg Place School.
The gymnasium In the Hamburg Place
School promises to prove a popular fea-
ture of the evening school work. 1t Is
probable that an experienced gymnastic
instructor, probably a Newarker, will be
appointed to take charge of the evening
school work. in the near future.

Eighteenth Avenue School during the
