SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 19:-The
installation of child hygiene training
in the local schools is being favora-
bly, commented IN. The present

new school and the reconstruction of
the old. Not satisfied with this they
are now looking forward to the bet
terment of the schools themselves.
The question of the instituting the
hygiene training will be taken up at
the next meeting of the Board of
Education. The clergymen of the
city will be invited to be present at
that time. Later the matter will be
put before the general public at a
mass meeting to be held probably in
the school auditorium.
