PHYSICAL EDUCATION LAW
Progress of New Departure in New
York Schools Eagerly Watched

YORK SchoolS Eagerly watched
Educational circles all ever the
country are watching with great inter
est the working OF the new law IN
New York State for physical educa-
tion in the schools. The lower grades
are to have one hour supervised play
each day, folk dancing and games, and
from the liith grade up there will be
two additional periods Of gymnastic
work supervised by a physical direc-
tor The state physical training dir
eetor who now has three assistants
will have three more and 600 new ply
steal training instructors will be APP
pointed
DR.. Finley says; This program of
health education and physical train
ing for school children is the most
comprehensive ever authorized by the
government OF any state or country.
and if adopted and put into effective
operation it will without doubt deter
mine the lines along which physical
education is to proceed in this country
where the states must meet the ma
items needs in training for the respon-
sibilities OF citizenship.
Every phase of this program has
been in successful operation in some
OF the most progressive schools OF this
and other states, but here for the first
time, in this country, at any rate, have
they been brought under state pre-
scription into one systematic program
for practical operation.
1T is to touch every child, boy and
girl over eight years of age, in public
and private schools, and is the first dc
termination Of state, expressed in
law and enacted as a non-partisan
measure, to make the sound health
and physical vigor Of the child in the
city and country alike, of fundamental
concern to the state in its education.
"A feature of the program which is
most valuable in its possibilities is one
which must in large measure be post
poned to another year, that of super
vised recreation. Not only will the op
portunity come in the highest degree
through this supervised recreation. Ter
developing those qualities which are
most desirable in American men and
women, but through it viii come also
the opportunity of encouraging health
activities in the home and other cen
tiers of social life and Of bringing home

of social life, and OF bringing home ana
school closer together in their inter
ests.
THE program includes medical in

railroad labor organizations to stand on n

There was moderate selling of stocks,
hut these sales were sufficient because of

motor stocks showing the most pronounced
weakness

In the mining stocks the feature was

PARIS. Aug. 29.-Since the beginning of
the war the average increase in prices has
been 81 per cent.
Vegetables have gone up so per cent;
meat, Sc; sugar. coffee and tea, 60 min
erals, 81; textiles, 50, and other materi-
ais SO.
The Bureau Veritas publishes statistics
showing that the French merchant rlarine
has lost little more than ten per cent in
tonnage by the war. This would not be
great amount IL France was building new
ships but she is not.
All attempts to Induce a greater use of
the banks and TO increase pay. .ents by
check instead of with actual money have
so far met little success, and boarding is
just ms great as 1t was before the war.
The people say they will not take the
chance of a neN moratorium for a possible
gain of half or even one per cent.
If one pauses to think boarding at the
present time is not great calam.t'. The
people keep their gold in the stocking, but
1t must come out again some day, and then
il will be very useful for the return to a
normal state of affairs.
London exchange has been easier the last
few days, having fallen from 2S125 to 2S.ll.
