TO OPEN BOAT SCHOOL.
Fresh dir Education for Tubercular
Children Begins This Week.

Jacob ]. shufro, who recently appointed by
the Board of Education teacher TO the outdoor
day camp for tuberculosis on the ferryboat noored
in the East River of Bellevue Hospital said yes
terday that he would open school on the deck Of
the boat early this week.
New furniture is the way which will comfort
ably accommodate fifty pupils. and II Is believed
that before Tong that number will attend A pe-
culiarity Of the class Will be the great diversity
in the ages OF the pupils.
The average attendance OF children is from 30 to
s. and the ages vary from six to fifteen years.
These will Of necessity, be assembled IN one school
class and the method Of teaching will be somewhat
similar to that which obtains in a country school,
except that the pupils the boat will sit In the
open air wrapped in heavy blankets.
The physical condition of these boys and girls is
such that a few hours OF school work day will
not, 1t is said. harm them To send them to the
ordinary public schools would be a menace to the
health of their fellow pupils, it was pointed out
and 10 keep them in ignorance Or to allow them TO
forget all that they have learned would be. of
course to destroy their future efficiency
Furthermore it is believed that many parents will
consent more readily TO this outdoor treatment of
their children when they fully understand that the
children's zcnoclng viii not be neglected, as has
formerly been the case.

Charles p. Adams called the meet

follows: 81 got the idea from a trade
paper which told of the success that

manufacturers together at the dinner
