visions this coming year in order better to .meet the needs of the older and younger children. The school has no school nurse or physician at present but care and vigilance is taken to safeguard. the children against illness and contagion. The physical condition of the child is carefully noted each morning upon his arrival and if not satisfactory he is isolated and the home notilied to call for him. The school has been particularly free from epidemics and diseases. With the co- operation of the home and care much can be prevented. Chil- dren with colds must be kept at home. In regard to contagious disease the school complies with the regulations of the medical authorities and the requirements of the city health board. SCHOOL LUNCHEONS A wholesome and substantial hot luncheon in the middle of the day is served to all pupils above the second grade. It is pre- pared under the supervision of a capable dietitian in consultation with a committee of mothers who are members of the school board of trustees. ' n This meal is served as the home luncheon would be, seated at tables in small groups, each with a teacher. It is eaten without haste and the same decorum and table courtesies and reiinements are required as are customary at the home table. The hour of the noon meal is one of social enjoyment and recreation, quiet and mannerly as the number makes possible. a T In the coming year the luncheon will be served in two di- visions for the sake of greater ease in serving and to cater more ad- vantageously to the requirements of the older and younger chil- dren. Milk is always served with these meals.

We wish their time after school to be free ' ' ' Some in- for wholesome activities, rest and independent reading. f b ' f s elling list is all that is ever vestigation or the learning o a rie p asked of a child below the fifth grade. Beginning with the iifth ' h urs may be needed grade from one-half hour to occasionally two o for assignments, but it is the policy to have children under the ' ' ' f their Hi h School prepare their work under the supervision o Q teachers in order to acquire proper methods of study. q Th Hi h School program is so planned that each pupil may C g have from two to three forty minutes of study daily, during the school session. Pupils who are diligent and have gained a sense ' ' ' ' d thods of ersonal responsibility for their work and have goo me P of study can prepare completely two or more assignments during h hool session It is difficult to plan a High School course te SC ' . which requires less than three or four hours daily, for an average student, of lesson preparation. This is a serious problem for a ' d l ct conscientious student who works slowly and tends towar neg e of healthful recreation and proper hours of sleep and rest. The ommendation is that such a student be permittedto take best rec an additional year for accomplishing the course. In cases where lack of adequate preparation is due to poor use oi study time, habits of inattention and lack of concentration, the home can aid the child by insisting that the hour of retirement be -strictly adhered to and that the place for study be apart from the family group and the home-study hour uninterrupted by tele- phone calls. Such regulations have frequently improved the use of time at school as well, and established better conditions and effort in the home study. Parents are urgently requested to consider the school days as belonging to the school and particularly asked that there be no evening engagements or distractions for the high school pupils during the school week, and that their weekl-end and holiday recre- ations be of a simple refreshing type and in moderation. 1 some ten a to ket findir wish from of th prepa motir bers i OYICS C 5 I' schoc schoo ment: time l quent the li rectly are n inspir partie schoo sense young childl little . large 'l bring: of uni subjet delibe M Y' VmWWYn Y ' ull 'r' Av--- Jas- ' ' ' ' T' ' ---u-mn-f -- .
