NO GYM FESTIVAL
FOR next SPRING.
SAYS ROBERT NOHR

Because 1t requires so much time to
prepare. the Gymnastic Festival given
by Robert Nohr. Jr.. supervisor of
physical training in the schols, will
not be held this year he said today.
Many inquiries have been made rela-
tive to the exhibition and Mr.. Nohr
while believing the festival to be an
event worthy of time and trouble yet
the number of hours he must use in
the school activities proper prevents
him from seeing the necessity of hold
ing the exhibition oftener than once
every two years.
Mr. Nohr advocates the construction
of stadium to permit all the school
children in the city to participate in
the festival "The festival requires
more than half a year to prepare. All
OF. the compositions must be original
and I do not feel that have the time
to devote to 1t every year unless my
regular work would be shortened.
THE festival is educational, 1t de-
velops community interest and war
rants support of the entire city. II a
stadium were erected 1t would give
every child In the city an opportunity
to take part"
