of you l recognize that you are in
earnest. and are determined to do
well for your country. If you go on
in the way that YOU have begun you
will make most valuable citizens.
When 1 was a boy I was taught (and

Ieve it was right that the chief OBJ
ject in life is to do your duty.
ITO teach yourself how to do this

THE FRESH AIR SCHOOLS
for tuberculosis Children Which
Has Worked Well in Germany.

Fresh air schools, started and still
conducted to care for tuberculous
children, promise to have an impor-
tant influence upon the entire pub
tic school system. They are still
new in America, having been in use
in Providence two years, in Boston
something more than a year and for
shorter periods in Chicago, Pitts
burg, Rochester and Hartford. They
have been fully tried out in Ger
many, where they have been varied
into open air summer schools and
forest schools. In no place where
they have been tried have they been
abandoned. In most places they are
being extended. Thus far the
schools have included only the ply
sically weak and the mentally back
ward. With plenty of fresh air and
sanitary surroundings, these weak
and defective children have been
able to accomplish more than nor
NAL children in the ordinary schools.
In some cases progress has been ex-
ceptionally rapid. While the minds
develop as they never developed be-
fore, the bodies grow strong and
children are given q chance in life--
