thoroughly as he admired Victor

into the Arts Club vainly seeking for
a room that was not filled with smok-

change in their lunch period, and the
afternoon session. Remonstrances have
been passed among the pupils for their

ars in the public schools in this city.
At the recent meeting OF the Board
of Education the statement was made
that illness of many pupils was due
TO the short time allowed them i'm which

ing has brought about many cases oi
indigestion and more serious illness

init that they "gulp down. their lunches

insist that there Is not an epidenh
