gave an impressive talk on Diseases OF
School Children. combining his talk almost
wholly to the subject of tonsils and AIDE
noids as being the things which he found
caused most trouble. Although disclaim-

talk with blackboard sketches, which
showed very clearly the points he desired
TO bring out. DIR. Leach also made few
timely remarks on the subject of the state
school system, which is SO much dis
cussed at present. saying that he attended
in his boyhood one of the little red school
houses" and that it gave the minimum
opportunity for learning and the maxi
mum chance for mischief. Miss Wellman
spoke briefly on the same subject. Music
was furnished by the fifth and sixth
grades. with Mr.. Braman at the piano.
