which each girl promises not only to wash her
hands and face several times daily, but to
abstain from biting her finger nails and
chewing lead-pencils.
She also guarantees to take ten deep
breaths of fresh air daily, play outdoors or
in a room with open windows for thirty min
utes brush her teeth twice daily and get
ten hours sleep out OF each twenty-four
whenever possible. In addition, each scout
will maintain at all times an attitude or
cheerfulness toward others and endeavor to
spread the gospel of good health wherever
she goes.
The campaign will end on May "a, at the
end of which time badge will be awarded
to each scout who has for two weeks straight
running kept 75 per cent of the rules Of the
crusade.
Anti-tuberculosis posters will be distrib-
uted throughout the city by members of the
troop. Lectures on the subject of prevention
of this disease will be given to the girls at
regular intervals.
During the health campaign the scouts will
keep a record of how many times daily they
lived up to the pledges,

WAR CAUSE OF TRUANCY
1918 Delinquen,s Double Previous Year Be-
cause Of Big Wages

War conditions are given as the cause tor
the great increase in truancy cases in the
public schools during 1918.
The official report just issued for the term
ending January 81. 1919. shows that 2zSo
cases were brought before magistrates in
1918 as compared with 1879 in 1917.
Many of the parents paid the fine with
smile. saying the children could afford to pay
fires because they were earning good money
in war industries. The number of employ
ment certificates issued to pupils also was
greatly increased.
The fact that girls in the public schools are
better pupils than boys was indicated again
in the latest statistics. For many years the
girls have maintained the highest records
In the higher schools s2.s per cent of the
girls We're promoted, while only 1872 Of the
boys advanced.
The best students in Philadelphia high
schools are those at the kensington High
School for Girls, where SO per cent were pro
noted last year The Northeast High is
next, with s7.2 per cent promoted. The
lowest percentage OF promotions is 20. The
highest percentage Of promotions is in the
teachers training classes.
The enrolment in the schools for 1913 was
290,l55, as compared to 279,664 In 1917. o.
these, 14775 were negro and eighteen Mon.
