CLUB DISCUSSES
OPEN AIR SCHOOLS
First One Was Established
In Germany Eighteen
Years Ago.

The Fortnightly Literary club met
Friday evening at the home of the
Misses Gattiker on Seventh street and
Mrs. B. A. Clarke read a paper on
"Open Air Schools" She said that
the idea Of educating children while
out of doors originated in Germany
about Is years ago. The first was
under school director and a physi-
clan, the school Deing especially for
back ward and debiIitated children.
The children are kept out of doors
except on rainy or stormy days when
five sheds were used. They came on
foot or on the cars. They remained
until late in the evening and the pro-
gram consisted of school work, play,
eating lunches and sleeping.
The idea found its way to London
and other parts of Europe and in
] anuary, 1908, the first school of this
character to be established in America
was opened at Providence, Rhode
Island. This was followed by schools
in New York, Boston and in other
cities. In New York there are -four
schools on ferry boats, sometimes they
are in tents, often on roofs of build

came as shock to his many friends
in this city. Mr.. Martyr had been i'll

be able to return home during the
night. He came home alone Thurs

more cold and the ride being too much
of strain for him.
A local physician was summoned
who pronounced it scarlet fever and
said the young man was in serious
condition. The home was quarantined
yesterday morning.
Death came about 1890 o'clock last
night. Besides his parents, Engineer
and Mrs. E. J. Martyr, ia First
avenue, he leaves one sister, Miss
Hazel Martyr, and one brother, Earl.
He was q years old and has always
lived here. Roy was favorite among
the young people of this city and his
death is keenly felt. He had been
braking on passenger trains on the
Northwestern for about a year.
The body was taken to the cemetery
| at 10 o'clock this morning accom-
panied by the funeral director, g. A.
Graham, of the E. S. Johnston furni-
ture, store Rev. g. A. Wilson and
Louis Brandt, Orriel Philbrick and
Ernest Ross, who acted as pail bearers.
Rev. Wilson delivered prayer and
short service at the grave.
The case is similar to that of
young man who came from Dakota to
his home near Plain during the cold
weather last winter. When he reach
ed the end of his journey he became
so i'll that he died in very short time
At Spring Green and along the way a
number of persons were exposed to the
disease.
