The contest followed a new move be-
gun three weeks ago at Mt. Pleasant
street and two weeks ago at Broadway
by General Secretary Merrill and
Physical Director Peckham at Mt.
Pleasant street, cooperating with the
schools in recreative sports and ath-
letic work at recess time. 1t has in
cluded all the boys at both schools, and
Mr.. Peckham base given special work
for the girls once week at Mt. Pleas
ant street. The first part of recess has
been given to athletic games and the
last part to freehand calisthenics.
1t is probable that there will be fur
Their contests, with a closing meet in
which scholarship will be on of the re-
Quirements 70 rentry. Owing to the
recent yard additions at Mt Pleasant
street, that school has been especially
well fitted for the work, and when an
enlargement of the Broadway school
yard is completed it will be much bet
ter in facilities. The grades have been
divided into squads, with these lead
ers:
