Travel is also an education in eff
cheney. This result is gained both IN
negative and i'm positive ways. The peo-
pies of the world are, on the whole, met
ficient in their doing. They do not take
forethought, they do not select out OF
several ways the best way of achlev-
ing, and they are inclined to let inten-
tion wait upon performance. The life
in China, India. Ceylon, Egypt, Italy
and Spain is life rather of unmeanlng
condition than of aggressive forcefu
ness. An Englishman or American is
impressed with the loss which each
nation suffers through its lack of eff
cheney. The world is still wasteful

efficiency and wastefulness quicken the
traveller into economic aggresslyeness
and aggressive economy.
A still further result of the educa-
tion of travel lies in the inspiration of
service for all men. This result does
not invariably emerge, for so vast is
the world, so intricate the worlds prob
lens, so deep the worlds needs, that
one may be inclined to ask why should
one disturb himself in order to make
his little contribution TO the worlds
benefit. The contribution can make no

suffering and give no discernible light

however, is not the mood of the health

is the mood of intellectual WEAKNESS
and emotional dissipation, of ethical
and religious pessimism. Rather the
natural mood is of increased desire, as
we'll as Of enlarged power to help. The
worlds need is so deep, the worlds
darkness so black, the worlds sore,
whether in Africa or in Asia, is so sore,
the worlds laundering so dense. the

At the regular meeting of the Ath-
letic Association of the Barnard School
for Boys, at Fieldston, West 244th ST.,
held Friday, December 4, the school
physician Addressed the members upon
the subject of health. 1t devolves upon
him to look after the health of the
student body, not only in taking pre-
cautionary measures against con-
tagious disease, but in building up a
sturdy and vigorous physique. He en-
phasized the Importance of the outdoor
life that the Barnard boys enjoy at
Fieldston, along with their studies, and
mapped out the various ways in which
it was to be pursued during the winter
months.

open, and the athletic courts will be
flooded in cold weather, when skating
will be INDUCED in and hockey games
will be played. lnterclass games will
be arranged, and the whole student
body will receive the benefit of the ex-
ercise and training. He referred to the
provision of some colleges where a
health certificate was already r,auired
for admission, and the possibility of
Columbia requiring in the near future,
according to President Buffers annual
report, careful physical examination
for admission, and he confidently ex-
pected that any Barnard boy would
measure up to the test
The twenty-fifth annual indoor meet,
open to all schools, will be held at the

should not respond to the spirit OF
progress and to all that it means. Inc
'1onger school day." if found TO be OF
educational advantage to the com
munity, should not be smothered either
by unwillingness TO cooperate or by
opposition to public needs.
The schools are maintained for the
benefit of the people, and this fact
should be clear in the minds of all
teachers. Additional service on the
part of the teaching force has always
been recognized in this community, and
those rendering this service have been
invariably compensated. The add
tional service required in evening,
after-school and summer activities has
always been paid for.
With these facts in view. and with
the unbroken policy of the city to COM
pensate where compensation is due,
there would seem TO be no reason why
the public school teachers should not
meet the situation in an unselfsh ana
fair-minded way.
The duties of the regular teacher
cover a period of less than one thou
sand working hours in about 100 TO l95
school days of actual service. The
functions of teacher arr arduous, and
even strenuous, at times. The eXpendl-
ture of magnetism or OF psychic force
is commensurate in the teaching effort
contributed. 1t is claimed that there
does not exist such a thing as mental
fatigue, and that only physical exhaus-
ton ensues as the result of effort. BE
that as it may, the practice of the pro-
fession of teaching is exhausting, even
under the most favorable conditions OF
light, temperature and sanitation.
Therefore. in the greater use of the
school building, in the establishment OF
the "longer school day." care should be
exercised in the proper utilization OF
the teaching effort Excessive applica-
ton 10 the task is both wasteful and
deleterious. The reverse of the situa-
ton is uneconomic. There should be
determined happy medium which VIII
be fair to all concerned. In all such
determinations the foremost fact
should be that the educational output
is represented by the child, and that all
processes must be regulated by the
childs ability and capacity, both of alb
sorption and of mental digestion.
School premises are now being used
for a variety of social activities, closely
akin to education The atmosphere of
the schoolhouse has lost some of its
academic odor. The schoolhouse s no
longer silent and unlighted at night.
The people are using it for purposes
tat would cause the school teachers OF
a past generation TO look with aston
ishment, were they here to view the
effects Of evolution.
These changes are all part of the
"longer school day" they are the Wis
ible evidence that times change and
that we change with them.
