LOCAL PLAYGROUNDS MAKES
GOO SHOWING.

Aleiers Playground proved itself
to be n OF the foremost Fairgrounds
of the city last week when 70 per
cent of girls tested and Is per cent
of boys tested qualified in the re-
quirements Of the Physical Efficiency
Tests. These tests consist of all-up
relay, goal throwing and 25-yd. dash
for girls and Ginning the bar, stand
ing broad jump and running for the
boys.
Physical Directors j. ALI. Rous-
seau and Miss May Fleming visited
the playground last Friday to make
the tests and they expressed them
selves rs delighted with the results
when twenty-five girls out of thirty
four and ten boys out of fifty-four
competing qualified. The reason for
the girls exceeding the boys in the
percentage qualifying is that the
boys requirements are more diff
cult to make than are the girls re-
quirements. The two physical di-
rectorS cOmplimented Miss Grace
LennoX, Supervisor of the Algiers
Playground, and Officer Robert Will
liams upon the good showing their
girls and boys made in the tests.
