with other necessary studies STUD
ents who are attending parochial
schools in the city do not have an
opportunity to get this work. Both
of these classes of students could
easily do this work in the summer
months.
Women who wish to become more
proficient in any line of domestic
science work should have the same
opportunity. Additional skill on their
part makes the salary of the husband
go that much farther and adds to
the health and happiness of tie fam

Just what it will be profitable to
do along these various lines is a
problem which only experiment can
determine. The future possibi1 ties
are great.

Physical Training.

Systematic physical training is
another important phase of the newer
education. This includes systematic
gymnastic training in the schoolroom
and in the gymnasium. This training
has in view general physical develop
ment and the correction of physical
defects.
Physical training includes play
ground games, and play ground gym
nasium work. Work in the open all
is of all things most conductive to
good physical development. Further
this gives play ground activities a
definite object, and this in turn re-
moves much of the incentive to the
demoralizing tendencies and practices
which will otherwise often prevail
on the play ground.
These things are not fads. They
are among the essentials. if educa-
ton is to build up the strongest and
cleanest type of citizen.

rollment and attendance in the vari-
Gus departments is added herewith

Lunch Room.

During the past year lunch room
has been opened in one Of the rooms
in the Domestic Science Department
Pupils who bring their lunches have
a pleasant place to stay during the
noon hour. A few articles are serV-
ed, such as cocoa, coffee, sandwiches
soup, fruit and other articles are add
ed from time to time. These are serv
ed at price which covers the cost
and no more. Pupils who wish to
buy their lunch can do so. Those
who wish to buy one or two articles
in addition to the lunch they bring
from home can do this.
Unless a student is robust and en-
joys excellent health it is highly de-
sirable that he have more than a colo
lunch at noon. One or more teachers
remain at noon each day. Good orde,
and proper conduct on the part of
students is thus assured. We fee
that the lunch room is one of the
most desirable additions which has
been made to the school system for
some time.

go on and pass in the latter half of
the years work when he is through
in the first half. More than this
the pupil is not allowed to founder
for a half year, and thus become dis
couraged and drop out of school. We
believe this change will add to the
effectiveness of our schools work
Much has been done for the schools
Of this city by the co operation and
liberality of the public spirited citi-
zens and by the generous tax-pay-
ing public who have literally support
ed the schools by taxation All this
is deeply appreciated by all who have
the best interests of the city at
heart.
While this is true, and while we
have a right to feel that gratifying
progress has been made, we ought
not to rest satisfied without further
progress in the future We ought
rather to press onto much better
things just as fast as our resources
will permit. Great changes are TAX
ingplace in public school education.
These changes will make the public
schools many times more valuable in
the future.

wise the taxpayers money is thus
being wasted. There is a CORES
ponding loss of interest. This fact
becomes of much greater significance
when We reflect that everywhere only
part of the children complete even in
the graded schools. Many parents keeI
their children in school for the first
eight years at a great struggle and
at much sacrifice How important
then that these pupils lose no time
unnecessarily.
Wherever schools have been examil
ed by competent physicians it has
been found that considerable mum
Der of pupils are afflicted with eye,
ear, nose and throat difficulties which
make it impossible for them to do
good school work. A large part OF
the time of the teacher is wasted in
the attempt to teach these pupils
for they are physically unable to pro
fit by the instructions.
Medical inspection is desirable
first as means of protecting the
public health by preventing the spread
of contagious diseases, second as a
means of saving the taxpayers none.
by preventing the waste of the teach
er's time used in attempting to teach
those who are physically unfit fol
school; third, as the only way il
which We can give these physically
defective children a fair chance il
life. The expenditure of little more
money here will make all schoo
funds pay much larger return OF
the investment.
1t may be that this city is moi
yet ready to take up this work. Il
is nevertheless a subject which
should command our serious consid

Annual Art Exhibit.


The ladies of the Federated Clubs
have held the Annual Art Exhibit in
the Witter Manual Training School.
This is entirely for the benefit of
the schools. The aim has been to
secure one picture for each grade in
the city as well as several pictures
for the High School. These Annual
Art Exhibits have in the past few
years added many beautiful pictures
to both grade and High School rooms
The influence of these in the course
of years in inspiring boys and girls
to become better men and women
cannot be measured. One of the i'm
mediate effects is to make the school
to a larger degree a more pleasant
place. This in turn helps to interest
pupils in school to a larger degree
and helps to hold them in school
longer.

Medical lnspec tion.

We are just beginning to realize
that a sound mind is impossible with
out a well-deveIoped body. We are
coming to see that it is impossible for
a child to study, to profit by instruc-
ton unless he is physically fit. Fur
Their, we are coming to see that the
school must not be allowed to become
a menace to the health of the com
munity through spreading contagious
diseases.
Massachusetts has a state law re
quiring medical inspection of all city
schools. Many Of the cities of this
country are adopting this plan. The
Milwaukee school board votsd re
Gently to employ a competent school
physician.
Since school opened last September
300 children have been absent from
school on account of contagious di-
seases. They have been absent from
school to 80 days each The aver
age time lost by pupils is 13 days
The bright child can many times
make up the work lost and still do
the work of the grade in one year,
especially if his parents are able and
willing to help him. But for the
child of average ability it often
means that he will be obliged to do
over again at least half years work
These pupils who have been out
and are behind make it necessary
for the teacher to take the entire

Evening Schools.

This splendid equipment of the
Witter Manual Training School SHOULD
not only be open to the regular High
School pupil, but arrangements SHOULD
and undoubtedly will be made to af-
an opportunity to improve themselves
through evening instructions. In all
large cities, hundreds of boys are
rising into the ranks of skilled work
men through evening school work.
The equipment here will be ample
for work of this kind
The same is true of evening and
Saturday classes in Domestic Science

Summer Sessions.

There is no good reason why this
plant should be idle during the sum-
mer months. Young men who wish to
master more thoroughly the work Of
fered in a manual training school
should have an opportunity to work
here during the summer. This work
is fundamental to the trade the boy
expects to follow and leads directly
to the ability to earn a better live
lihood. Students in the High School
who are preparing for college with
the purpose of entering a profession
have little or no opportunity to take
manual training or domestic science
