Here in Bismarck through improper utilization of the school plant, physi culture is practically neglected. Athletics, it is true, receive is and rightly so, but what is being done to improve | al well being of the average child who never! makes the team and may be too hollow chested even to root above a whisper? | During the winter time the children are marched from | the William Moore school to the Roosevelt for gymnasium | work. Here they receive a few spasmodic exercises and are | then marched back again, possibly the best part of the exer- cise is the “hike” between the schools. The many years spent in school render school life a dominant factor in the life of the child and it is reasonable to argue that during that important period as much time should be given to body building as to the development of the mind. Modern education in some places neglects th feature for the more spectacular pursuits of field athleti which produce a few stars but contribute nothing to raising the general physical standards. It is possible, however, to have both with proper management and foresight. Every year boys are sent to West Point and Annapolis who have gone through the public schools. For a solid year many of these boys, pale of face and lank of limb must apply themselves to correcting physical deficiencies wh were allowed to grow under our present system. the year when these boys return robust and rosy cheeked the change is startling to their relatives and friends. Most of our educational concepts need to be enlarged and revised. New standards of educational values need to be established. Surely we should build our boys and girls to meet the physical needs of life’s battle in our public schools as carefully as we train those to face the bat- tles of warfare. Fifty per cent of all who die between the ages of twenty and thirty years, die of one malady; tuberculosis. Many children fall prey to the disease through some of the poorly uted fire-traps which we call public schools and Bis- arck has one of the best examples of this kind of a struc- In curtailine the gchool budget, little provision has been made for physical training in the schools.

It will be necessary then to raise by private subscription some $3,500 for this work among the tax»ayers for a service that is being given by every modern and up to date school system in the United States. There should be a strong department of physical educa- tion in our schools. Foolish requirements for teachers bar many persons qualified to do this work from securing certi ficates. When one wants a specialist in some line of busi- ness, there are no restrictions nor barriers set up to employ- ing him. But in school affairs when ‘t is necessary to hire a teacher in physical culture, he must be qualified to instruct in the whole gamut of subjects laid down by the certification department. Fortunately a football coach does not have to be an expert in Latin, Greek or mathematics to teach the boys to “buck” the line. May that day soon arrive when our educational foibles will crumble before plain, horse sense. The Bismarck school board should step out and get a woman and ae man qualified to promote physical culture among the students and make it a real part of the local cur- riculum not merely a spasmodic make-shift by pressing into service some overworked teacher with a meager knowledge of calisthenics. Enough money is being spent in the school budget now if it were properly dispersed to give the Bismarck schools al! strong department of physical education without adding , Of course if the board will not do so, the citizens will have to raise voluntarily the necessary funds to perform a function that is rightfully the school sys- tem’s.

Dr. Abbot, astron- omer of Smithsonian Institution, built and operated the “solar cooker.” This summer he will renew his experiments on the prac- tical basis of trying to use the heat of the sun for kitchen cooking. It would be all right except on cloudy days. At- tempts to harness the sun will be more or less futile until a way is found to “can” its heat for uninterrupted use.: It is a fascinating future possibility.
