New York, when the school opens for
the season on September T. The new
feature will be physical examination for

issued to each person who successfully
passes the tests. The physical examina-
ton viii include sight, hearing, heart
and lungs, and tests viii be made TO see
whether the student is suffering from
any nervous affection. Prominent auto
mobilists who are interested in the
school have heartily Endorsed the idea.
