The increasing emphasis Punahou is
putting on the desirabiiity of small
classes is strikingly shown in the
above tables. This is most marked in
the preparatory school where the
growth has been greatest. In 1903
1910, four years ago, the registration
of 429 occupied nine rooms and was
taught by nine regular and five spe-
cial teachers.
Through the gift to the school by
generous friends of the annex, six
more rooms were provided. This
made possible new policy providing
two rooms for every grade in the
school. The number of pupils in each
room has been reduced so that a ma
jority of the rooms have less than So
pupils and no room has more than 40.
A study of the table of the average
number of pupils per teacher brings
the improvement out effectively. A
drop from A. to 80 pupils per regu-
lar teacher and from 80 to 26 pupils
for each regular and special teacher
means greatly increased effectiveness
in teaching individuals.
individual Assistance.
Assistance TO individuals who for
reasons of change OF schools, absence.
Illness, poor preparation and for vari-
Gus causes need attention is a feature
of the policy of the school.
At the preparatory school every
morning before school for a period
varying between one hour and one-halt
hour opportunity is given to study or
to receive necessary assistance.
During the period January. 1918. to
June, 1913, a daily record by grades
of those using this period was kept
and there were between 40 and 80
pupils each month.
Since September. 1913, the record
stands as follows:

At the academy the policy is car
ried out in equal degree. Each pu-
pills needs are studied and as far as
possible his difficulties diagnosed and
prescribed for. These prescriptions
include daily reports, study sched-
ules, supervised study hours, restric-
ton Of privileges, and help from the
teacher before and after school in
classes and to individuals. Some idea
of the amount of time and attention
that teachers give to pupils who need
special help may be judged from the
fact that special help periods have
been given to nearly one hundred pu-
pills during the year. Some of these
have received such hep for weeks
at time. This group includes those
whose work foT any reason is below
passing and those who are making
an extra effort to earn a certificate
grade in subjects to be used for ad-
mission to college.
A striking feature of this question
is the fact that 20 per cent Of those
who have. conditions or who are de-
ficient in their work enter Punahou
after the beginning of the seventh
grade of the Punahou Preparatory
school. This number is so large in
comparison with the ratio that this
group Of pupils who have not had the
Punahou training bears to the whole
school that it at once attracts at
tention. 1t speaks forCibly of the ade-
Quacy of the training given in the
preparatory school and of the desira-
bility of pupils entering this school
as early as possible. Since our spe-
Cial efforts are directed very largely
towards supplying parts of the pupils
training which he lacked upon admis-
sion, there is emphasis on the neces,
sity of care in admitting pupils and
in classifying them upon admission.
1t suggests the desirablity of some
plan, similar to the ungraded room in
the elementary school, of finding out
and correcting these shortcomings

Notwithstanding taxes are high this
year, when City Treasurer Henry
Hale closed his office on Saturday
night more people than usual paid
their obligations to the city. This
means that people have money this
year, all of which speaks well for Bar

that the town is prosperous. Of course
all have not paid and for the tardy
ones there is little penalty attached
which they should swallow gracefully

ChangeabIe Climate
rs A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

DIR. Hartman, of Columbus, Ohio,
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes it is the climate, not the germs,
that we have to fear in this country.
THE germs are present, to be sure,
and are of some significance in
diagnosis. Climate, a changeable
climate, is the true cause of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies, the
humidity Of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
tails. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area of high pressure forms in
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east, subjecting millions of our
population to it's influence. The re-
suit is, thousands upon thousands Of
people catch cold. A small per cent
OF these thousands do not get well Of
2heir cold. 1t goes into pneumonia,
or chronic catarrh, or bronchitis, or
1aryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what am getting at is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
hest we can do is to prepare for
NUETOs OeL6uU OURSELVES SS5cIAAAoI C4LSAAA'
Good health is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health, with
excess vitality, this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however.
Some Of us must have assistance.
The assistance that use for myself,
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men, is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house.
If the children indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru-na.
If the parents, the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are so well known which precede
a cold, few doses Of Pe-ru-na and
the deed is done.
Some people are very subject to
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, take Pe-ru-na off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan is a good one. The medicine
is inexpensive. It does no possible
harm to the system. It keeps the
appetite regular and keen. 1t as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclement weather of

ern. The opening mum Der was an in
strumentsl by Miss Bernice Roser,
who responded to a hearty encore.
AssembIymau George Carpenter was
introduced and talked of the State
Legislature and bills passed the last
year
When the legislature meets they
first organize and elect a temporary
chairman, secretary and speaker, the
last of which is the most important
and which Office was filled by Hon.
Merlin Hull of Black River Falls, all
of these receive 81 700 per session
Every mem Der has a choice of the
committee on which he serves and the
committees are appointed by the
speaker. The clerks and messengers,
of which there are about 20, receive
from So to s. per day.
Outof between 1900 aud 1900 bills IN
trojuced only about 800 were passed.
! The rest were indefinitely postponed.
The discussion following his talk was
interesting. The Huber law, gossip
law and woman suffrage law were dis
cussed. Mr.. Carpenter also talked of
the state fair law, which was given a
great deal of time. The city of Mil
wsukee promised to give to the state
piece of land known as the Fleming
tract, valued at $780, 900, if the fair be
left at Milwaukee. In this they have
not done as agreed. After another in
strumental number by Miss Roser, a
visiting intermission was held after
which Mrs. Horace Smith and Carl
Wichern reported on the Country Life
