Then there IL the matter OF health. When
other schools have been closed because OF
epidemic our school has never been
closed. our school has plenty OF space
and fresh air both indoors and out.
In the outdoor school there IL no sitting
In cramped positions. Everything is AZ
rird on in such an easy, Informal way that
the play Is sport and the work Is play.
The old orthodox practice OF making chill
dren s!t for hours on hard, wooden
benches has been abandoned. The children
are happy and ,ontented. They are eager
to. do the thing At hand and the enjoyment

that they are not restless and do not wdu'
cont nually to ga els where or do some
thing else. In their work and play there
Is perfect relaxation, and the ch!ldren are
so happy that they do gladly whatever
they are told to do.
One important advantage that the out
door School possesses over indoor schools
~ that the children learn a decidedly free
swing IN their work. When they draw In
chalk on the sidewalk they naturally make
everything large and not small and

are indoors, and II a child is attracted by

The chief study spot Is the small park

possesses one great advantage over ;he
two other parks. II the youngsters see
some strange bird they have never seen

scarlet tanager. or even the more COM
mon catbird. the teacher can take her
class into the museum close by and they
can find similar bird in one OF the
cages that contain hundreds OF different
kinds of birds. Thus they get simpl"
lessons of nature at first hand.
