 In an interview with MT. Johans- son the other day the reporter was shown some very splendid work, some reproduction of photos and some original. Some of his paint ings are displayed in his studio in the Skagway House, and in the very near future the entire collection will be on display at the Hotel Seward, where many of his paintings are now adorning the walls of the spacious reception room of that popular hos telry.

Johans- son appear to carry true interpre- tation of life His imagery vision on the Alaska dog team, with their obstinateness is portrayed distinct ly. The expression carried by this team of malamutes on canvass is claimed by the artist to be one of his best productions.
 Some years ago, not many, while MT. Johansson was making his home in Fairbanks, doing odd jobs with his brush and easel in hand, won- derful picture was brought to light. The picture consists of a beautiful landscape, and a cabin with a tiny yellow light blinking lazily from the window in the foreground, and the mountains, snow-capped in the back ground, enhanced by the rays of an ever-shifting Aurora Borealis. The picture in question, an original of MT. Johansson's works was purchas- ed by wealthy Californian who was a lover of art, and taken to the States. The purchase price was $50. It was later learned that when the picture was displayed in the home of the purchaser he was offered sev- eral times $1500. All of the paint

penetrate the ether each morning, as
the historic struggle of n mother with

Once upon time Skinnay believed
the Saturday-niSht bath was capital

to make little boys miserable. Now
one of his chief subjects in school is
the art Of keeping chubby hands
clean, and of polishing cars and fin
gernails.
HEALTH STUDIES.
An n" has been added to the three
RS" of education in San Antonio.
The study of Health" goes hand-in-
hand with reading and 'riting and
'rithmetic. A course known as
Health education| is compulsory in
all junior high schools, and as soon as
an appropriation can be obtained il
will be added to the curriculum of ev-
cry grammar school in the city.
Therefore school days have become
much more complicated for little boys
and existence has frightened for moth
crs. For every student must pass a
test once a week on personal hygiene,
and his grade depends on the cleanli-
ness of cars, teeth, fingernails and
hands.
CORRECT DEFECTS.
Health education" is building bet
ter San Antonians. II. Ii. Brewer,
director Of health education in the city
schools, found that during the fint
year of the operation of the new
course, 1917 defects out of $3.50 de.
fects found among San Antonio school
children were corrected-an average Of
41.72 per cent gain in health.

only to habits and hygicne--it includes
diagnostic, remedial and developmcntal
measures. Clinics and regular medi'
cal examination accomplish the first

tention and corrective play, and by
means of nutrition classes" milk

ing dict-and especially through a
chart card that keeps a weekly rec
ord of the child's eondition-the sec
ond objective is gained.
INDIVIDUAL CARE.
The individual needs of each child
serve as a guide to a supervised play
aud athletic program that is carried
out during the entire school year dur

reation on the school grounds.

metic or grammar, are conducted. The

dress before the chamber of com
merce yesterday by Veirling Ker-

The speaker charged that much of

follow old-fashioned methods in
business. High powered competi-

the blame.
While great strides have beon
made in better manufacturing
methods, so that the actual cost of
making articles has been greatly de-
creased, chiefly through quantity
production and Standardization
methods, the saving is greatly lost
in placing the article before the con
sumner, through poor business meth
