establishing and maintaining QUIZ
great public school system, yc, IN be-

High school respectfully submit tho
following facts for your consideraH
ton.
The chief end Of education Is tho
proper training and development Of
the young so that they may oecom1

Proper and suitable provision hal
been made for The training of the inE

have been provided for their physical
development.
In other cities, many Of chem small
Ter than New Haven, steps nave beeH
taken to provide means whereby puH
pills may obtain the great benefits II
be derived from exercises in ohysil
cal training. Not only are all mod
ern high schools equipped with GYM
nasiums, but athletic supervisors all
appointed as a part Of the tegua3
teaching force.
In New Haven not only Is there nj
, gymnasium connected with the school
but there Is no playground nor attn
letic field available for use by Higl
, school boys,
! 1t Is becoming generally recognized
that what Is needed is to increase thH
number Of sports with the object n
enabling larger number Of person.
to secure the benefits to be derived
from active participation in clear
manly forms of exercise. Frequentll
in the past the boys in the New Hal

of having a crew, but no definite stcH
were taken in that direction on I'D
count of the fact that football, basd

USE OF NEW TRACK
BIG HELP TO TRAFFIC
Considerable Work Remains to Be Done on Bridge and
Approaches Before 1t Will Be Opened to
General Public

Owing 10 the severe weather, the
south bound track of the AnacOstia and
Potomac railroad over the new Ana
costa bridge was not in operation last
Sunday as was contemplated, but was
placed I'm service Monday. The opera
ton OF this track greatly improves the
handling OF the traffic both to and

nection with the opening Of the new
bridge.
Considerable work remains 20 be done
both to the bridge proper and the ap-
proaches before IL will be open to the
general public. According 10 present
indications this will not take place be-
fore the first of January. The Anacos-
tia Citizens Association has appointed a
committee TO prepare plans for suit
able celebration at the formal opening
Of the bridge to the use Of the general
public, as it is looked upon as a matter
OF great Importance to the citizens OF
this community and should DO fittingly
