AIR CRUSADE NOW ON
Experimental open-Air Class Has
Been Established at One of Cap
itals Public Schools.

The fresh air crusade that has found
it's way into the public schools of
the country is now to bring Wash
ington to a place beside those other
large cities possessing open-air
schools. Quite recently, as an expe-
riment that is expected to bear prac-
tical results, an open-air class was
established in the Stevens school.
Through the school fund of the AS
sociated Charities, obtained by the
collection of a Thanksgiving offering
of the school children, blankets and
other necessities have been provided
To DR.. Arthur L. Murray of the Dis
trict health department falls the work
of investigation. Examinations of the
children and tests of their heart
lungs, etc, have already been made
and though DR.. Murray has found it
little too soon to make comparisons
and determine in actual figures the
gain made in weight and in general
physical improvement. the faces OF the
children are beginning to fill out, and
further steps are being taken to per-
feet this method.

and from Europe as his means per
mitted. His common sense saw how
helpful this current might be to
ships. and he urged captains to use
the thermometer to ascertain when
they reached it and to enable them to
keep within its influence when going
east or to steer clear of 1t in coming
west.
Lieutenant Maury, who was the
founder of photographic science. used
such temperature memoranda as were
available in his examination of ocean
currents. By following his directions
shipmasters of half a century ago
shortened the voyage between North
America and England by ten days,
that from New York to California by
about 45 days, and that from England
TO Australia and back by two months.
Helland Hansen, the Norwegian geo.
grapher, declares that the profit from
the use of Maury's charts by British
owners on the East India route alone
amounted to $10,00O,O00 yearly. Lat,
terly the usefulness of the thermome'
ter in indicating the neighborhood OF
ice has been emphasized, among mari
