R. Murphy, prin- cipal of the public schools, and large number of teachers in the movement to establish physical training and play ground supervision in the schools.
 Ere the opening of the 1920-21 session of the schools Miss Eleanor Daske, a capable. attractive young woman, who has recently completed a course in phy- sical training in Detroit, was secured to direct this feature of the school life. She has already won the hearts of the school girls and boys as well as the patrons, who are according her hearty cooperation in all of her plans.

We expect to gradually improve our faclilties anu equipment for gymnastic work.
 ..The work is conducted both m anu out-of-doors and includes calisthenics' folk dancing and games. Owing 10 ldcN of facilities we have been able to ehJoy much folk dancing and we nave oliereu the girls of the upper grades the oppor tunitv of ejoining a folk dancing class at the high school on Saturday morn ines We have a large enrolment ai ready and hope to be able 10 adihi. further applicants. Workers in physicai education throughout the country are irving to revive and cultivate an interest in the old dance forms
