FEAR FOR PARENTS.

Cautious people have been warning

TIRELESS IN ENGLISH STUDY.
One must have been in the English
classes of which there were the most
of in any department, and have seen
the eagerness with which men and wo-
men who had spent their entire day
hard at work in the factory or at some
other laborious occupation came to
their classes, and with minds little
used to that kind of work, poured over
books when physically weary, so great
has been their desire for the education
before them.
YOUNGSTERS LONG TO LEARN.
One must have seen the tired boy
and girl workers industriously delving
for knowledge after a day s work that
would have been sufficient to have
thoroughly incapacitated many an
adult for mental effort.

making themselves wonderfully neat
and becoming gowns and other gar

came many of them had never thread

MILLINERY AND DEMOCRACY.
One must have visited the millinery
class and found society women work
ing with girls who earn their own liv-

time the democracy which comes with
association of different classes and
how to make hats. One must have
seen the camaraderie of these workers
and their devotion to Miss Elsie Mac
Swain, the instructor.
One must have seen the enthusiasm
with which the cooking class stirred
and brewed and baked and boiled and
learned how to construct a menu that
combined wholesomeness and cheap
ness.

THE COST.

The per capita cost for food for The
year has been as follows:
For the year 1913-14 1929
For the year 1914-15 1913
For the year 1867, judging from
present rate, the per capita cost will be
about $2700. The decrease in 1914-15
was due to contributions in the form
of school shower, which brought such
a generous supply of vegetables, fruits,
canned goods, preserves and meats,
that the cost to the school board was
greatly reduced.

the month of October of this year,

They Aid Studying.

The February stCrusader" has an
article written by Mrs. Mary D. Brad
ford of this city on the open air school
which is Of more than ordinary inter
est. 1t follows:
The open air school in Kenosha
was opened in April, 1911. 1t first oc-
cupied a canvas rooted shack located
in one Of the school yards. A rented
hall housed it for another year, and
the next two it occupied a room in one
of the school buildings. 1t is now hav-
ing its second year in building con-
structed especially for it.
"This building contains the school
rooms, rest room, dining room, kitchen
and wash rooms COR boys and girls. It
is simple in construction costing about
$1,700. The total cost, including wir-
ing, painting, and furnishing, and also
the fence and walks was $4,000.
In new twenty-room building
about completed, another open air
school is to be located.

SOME STATISTICS.
Age-The average age of those en-
tering September /, 1914, was found to
be 8 years and 5 months, the oldest
being IA years and 8 months, and the
youngest Z years.
Gain in Weight-A careful study
was made a year ago of weights and
gains. Eliminating from the reckon
ing six children who attended less than
one month, the % others made total
gain in weight of 2o4.5 pounds, which
is an average of 7.5 pounds each. Of
the eleven who attended throughout
the year, the greatest gain in weight
was is pounds by girl 111a years
old. Another. girl, aged IA years,
gained II pounds. and a boy aged s,

FRIDAY WAS WEIGH DAY.
The children were weighed each Fri
day afternoon, and again on Monday
morning. A weight chart was made
for each child, showing graphically
the result found.
Since October / of this year, milk
lunch has been served in all schools,
either before school in the morning or
at recess. A ticket good for Is serv-
ings OF a glass of milk and a graham
cracker, is sold for % cents to those
who can buy them, and given to those
who need them, but are unable to buy.
Children bringing a penny are also
given glass Of milk.
MILK STIMULATES STUDY.
A little over $3.50 of all the children
in the elementary schools partook ev-
cry day of this lunch throughout the
month Of October. In some schools as
high as $500 of the children get the
milk; in other schools smaller mum

Many interesting reports have been
received from teachers of the improve
ment in children since they began hav-
ing this regular nourishment-impro
ment in power of attention, in mental
and physical alertness. The educa-
tional effect has been almost as marked
as the physical results. Children re-
ported as disliking milk are now regu-
larly drinking it-they were caught
up by the popular movement, and car
ried along-they wanted to be in
style, and now there seems to be little
inclination to try to escape.

WOULD LENGTHEN COURSE.

Among the things which Mr.. Thomp-
son would like to see next year is the
extension IF the course to forty eight
lessons and its division into three units
of sixteen lessons each and a system
of certificates to be given for finishing
given unit and diplomas for the com
pletion of twelve units. The division
into short units would give an indi-
vidual an opportunity, for instance, to
take one unit in cooking, another in
millinery and another in sewing all in
the same term.
Mr.. Thompson would like to have
the enrolment for the school com
pleted week or two before the classes
actually begin, thus giving more time
to selecting teachers and arranging de-
tails.
