The editor of these columns desires
to make a correction of an item
which appeared last week. In re-
gard to the hunting privilege, the
Board of Education did not grant a
holiday, as there stated, and had
no part in the matter No special
concessions were granted The boys
will be counted regular absentees,
and their work required to be
made up.
In order to stimulate an interest
in hygienic living conditions, and
also assist the teacher to keep the
physical conditions in her room as
near ideal as possible, each clement
ary grade room in the city is or
ganized as Health Department.
Each grade has a Health Officer,
who serves for period of such
length that each child will have an
opportunity to act. This officer
reads the temperature of the room
hourly and records it on a simple
chart OH the blackboard By reading
this chart visitor may know what
the temperature was in that room
at any hour Of the day on any day
of the week At the end Of the
week these charts are. placed in per-
manent form in the Health Officers
Permanent Record The health of
ficer also notes lighting and ventil-
ating conditions and general clean
liness of desks, floors, corridors etc.
Much of this first hand observation
al work is made the basis of class
room discussion. Henceforth that
room in each building which has the
highest record for perfection in at
tendance and punctuality will have
the facts published at the end of
each six weeks period 100 per cent
in attendance would mean every
child present every day; and 100
per cent in punctuality means not
one case of hardness. The records
for the first six weeks are as fol
lows: Brick building-attenda
