various large cities Of the country. These
schools vary greatly in the sort of nstruc-
ton given, the length of the course and the
cost OF instruction. In many normal schools
courses OF physical training. designed for
women who intend to teach or supervise
the teaching of gymnastics and physical
culture in the public schools, are given at
the expense OF the taxpayers. Other schools
for physical culturIsts are maintained in
nneCtIon with the large universities.
In one Of these university schools your
daughter can take a regular four years
course leading TO a Bachelor OF Science de-
gree In physical culture or a special di-
ploma after one or two years course Of
training. Besides practical work in gym
nastics, swimming. dancing. games ard
hygiene. a stin course i'm anatomy and
physiology is required. The tuition in a
professional school Of this sort usually
ranges from $3.50 TO $500 year. Special
courses in physical culture are likewise
given in the summer schools Of most of the
large universities and If you are interested
ia these courses a request addressed to the
symhastic school connected with the uni
versity nearest you will bring catalogue
or bulletin which explains all about the
work.
For the woman who has received di-
ploma or degree fICm one of these schools
there Is never any question of getting
work" There Is a growing demand in all
parts Of the country for specialists in this
branch Public high schools nowadays are
not complete without well equipped gym

school systems to be up to date must have

the demand to-day. TO quote from tho cata-

The salaries of physical culture teachers
are about equal 10 or perhaps a little

teachers. Six or seven or eight hundred

salary for the inexperienced young woman

At noon today the bulletins report
everything favorable for his speedy
recovery. The operation was per
formed at the Sisters hospital in
Reno
A bulletin was issued shortly after
the operation by Dr. George Nc
Kenzie, the attending surgeon, stat
ing that Governor eddie had sue
cessfully passed through the sur
gical performance and was resting
easily.
in fairly good health, it was
thought that the operation would
be mild in character, and the sur
mise proved true. Although he. has
suffered considerably from appen-
dicitis, his condition did not de-
mand an operation until about a
month ago. At that time Governor
Oddie visited San Francisco, but the
press Of state affairs necessitated
his return to Carson.
The governor decided Saturday
night that the operation should !
performed without delay, as he
cd that an attack would prevent his
participation in the governors con
ference TO be held in New Jersey
which he expects to attend.

and condition Of Governor oddie
