SCHOOLS. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. The cast for the spring play has been practicing daily. Most of the cast are still reading their parts, but they are expected to have them mem- orized in a short time. Central High had for its guests last week several men from Georgia and one from China, all interested in school work. R. K. Chu was the guest from China and is general se of the World's Chinese Stu- dents’ Federat| hai. Mr. Sutton, superintendent of schools in was another visitor inter- ested in school work.

EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL. At a short assembly Tuesday morn- fng talks were made by Mr. Herzog. Prof. C. J. Schwartz and Principal Charles Hart. The discussions were the time, place and charges of the spring play. Mr. Hart pointed out that the fire regulations will not pro- hibit the use of the schoal auditorium for the performances, as the maxi- mum attendance each might will be limited to 300; that the lmited at- tendance will necessitate .perform- ances for the four nights of April 5 6. 7, and §: that Wednesday and Fri- day’ nights will be for parents and friends, that Thursday nighs will be for alumni and that Saturday night's performance will be especially for the student body. Under the tutelage of the faculty dramatic committee rehearsals of the play are progressing favorably. The school is_happy in the selection of “The Amazons,” by Arthur W. Pinero, as the play, and in having the cream of the school's dramatic talent to interpret it.

In order to supplement the work of the clinic, which can take care of only twenty pupils, the principal and { teachers have organized a milk serv- ice for all pupils. The work of sup- | plying pupils with milk and graham crackers every school day began on | February 27.

It is served every day at 10:30 o'clock. This form of nourishment not only supplies needed flesh and energy, but it furnishes a much-needed substi- tute for the candy which they for- merly ate between meals.

Charles Rabold, American repre- sentative for Cecll Sharp. teacher and composer of music for English foll dances, generously gave an aft- ernoon of his time Tuesday to Nor- mal, thereby giving the students and faculty a treat that will long be re- membered. Twice during the after- noon the gymnasium was filled with students, to whom he taught a half dozen movements' of one of the dances.. To those watching the! dancers on the floor Mr. Rabold seem- | ed a genius in his power to move such large bodies of people so rhythmically and with so much spirit. He is in Washington for a short time to train the leaders of Girl Scout troops in folk dancing. _The last week has been a week of victory for the basket ball team. Saturday night it played the Alexan- dria High Bchool in the gymnasium of Normal, with a score of 28 to 11, in favor of the home team. Monday night, in the Epiphany’' gymnasium, it defeated the Y.

The Science Club meetings Tuesday Were marked by their usual interest- ing talks and demonstrations. The relation of humidity in the atmos- phere to comfort and discipline of the schoolroom was discussed by Gladys Dice. The flame of the Bun- Sen burner, so necessary in a labora- tory, was the subject of a well plan- ned paper by Violet Marshall. To produce soap in a recitation period, explain the chemistry involved not only in its production but in its use as “well, was the assignment that Alys Ewers accomplished very satis- factorily. The climax was reached in_the club’s work for the year when Dru- cilla Hallam, after successfully show- ing the gases involved in combus- tion, made an earnest appeal for more_science training for candidates for Normal and especially. in her judgment, for more chemistry Moving plctures Thursday at 3:15 are very popular with the children of the practice achools and the schools of the neighborhood. The films are carefully selected by Mi Goding, combining both educational and amusing features. The Motoy dolls always draw a large child audi- ence. Recent rulings in regard to the use of the stage for dramatics require that all scenery be abolished. The dramatic department takes very kindly to Shakespearian effects and will continue the excellent work it has done In the past unhampered by scenery.

Quander, teacher of his- tory, gave an interesting exposition of “teaching clvics in junior high schools” at the regular educational faculty meeting of the school Thurs day afternoon. Miss Quander em. phasiged the more practical applica- tions of teaching this_gubject as op- posed to the older textbook method of fact gathering. A course in civics is being organized by the faculty, based on school activities as a point of departure. Frehch classes reading_ “Sans Fa- mille” as presented ,in Le Premier Livre, by Me'ras, are assembling the story in “cut up form.” vocabulary strengthening and greater facllity in sentence structure.

In pursuance of & lcy _to’ keep the subject of the vhvll”l:ltl fitness of its students to the forefront in. its educational program, another signifi- cant step was taken the Mi: Normal School at & clinic held i hall for the students who their parents Wednesday afternoon. € After reviewing briefly the earlier efforts of the Normal School to han- dle this matter of physical efficiency, Principal E. A. Clark, who presided, phasized the present more or- ganized attack upon this problem and said that the two-fold purpose of this meeting was to bring home to the parents the actual phyaical condidfion of their daughters and to arouse in nts of the grade puplls an interest in a nutrition clags for their hildren. In concluding his remarks Princi- pal Clark said that the high purpose of the Normal School is to guide into the teaching profession only those persons who are physically, mentally and morally fortified for this impor- tant work. Perhaps the most {mpressive fea- ture of the exercise was the practical demonstration _conducted by Miss Turner, assistant director of physical education, in which grade pupils and Normal School students appeared on the stage in pairs: bringing out very vividly the striking contrast between the child of normal weight and the one underweight, both of equal helght and age. In connection with this demonstra- tion attention was called to a serics of charts selected from those of all the students, showing the record of some who are gaining and others who are losing weight. Short talks were also given by Mrs. Earle, chief adviser in the nutrition center of the American Red Cross; Dr. Joseph Murphy, chief medical in- spector; Dr. C. A. Tignor, assistant medical dnspector. and Dr. Rebecca Stoneroad, director of plysical edu- cation, Mrs. Earle explained clearly with the aid of the blackboard what she termed a diet for a balanced person. Dr. Murphy stressed the urgency of exerting every effort to discover the causes of underweight among the students-and called attention to the appearance of the pupils on the stage as an evidence that no attempt is be- ing made to produce fat children. Dr. C. A. Tignor emphasized poor home control as an important influ- ence contributive to malnutrition among_children. : Dr. Stoneroad extended a cordial greeting to the large gathering of parents and students. At the close of the meeting there was a generous response to the in- vitation to form a nutrition class among the grade pupils. many par- ents enrolling their children. One will not soon forget the anx fous group of parents and their daughters gathered about the vari- ous charts Mudying frankly the ascending curve of health or the de- clining' curve of malnutrition; nor will one fail to appreciate this new vantage ground of cordial under- standing and mutual concern from which parents. teachers nd students are now viewing this most vital problem. Among the visitors to the rchool during the week was Mrs. Coralie F. Cook of the board of education. The closing of the first six wecks of practice teaching was marked by a very interesting debate on_disci- pline by the seniors. The subject was, “Resolved, That corporal punish- ment is a desirable method of disci- pline. The arguments in several instances | gave evidence of much collateralj reading. The debate was won the negative side. The principal's plan of running theory parallel with practice is yield- ing splendid results in all depar ments of the school. Because of this| plan the students show evidence of | a more intelligent comprehension of | the teaching process. by | The senfors entered upon the sec- ond period of practice with a greater feeling of confidence as a result of egperience gained during the first period.

In the evening the vanquished Were entertained by the Aurora Club, an organization of girls, at a recep- tion. % Next Wednesday at the ~Dunbar auditorfum the non-commissioned and commissioned staff will receive their official warrants from the school au- thorities. Capt. €. C. H. Davis, U. S. A., will deliver the commissions to the schoolboy soldiers. 5 Finding a practice field for the wealth of material will be one of the chief problems of the base ball coach. The Monument grounds are available, ! but their great distance from the school 1s a handicap. The problem of @ practice field is one, however, that confronts all schools, except Central, and the coaches are more or Jess philosophical about it. With the acquisition of the ground in the'rear of Dunbar this problem will be solved. = Tentative plans for the new .wing of the bullding, which embody the| views of the faculty, are about ready to forward to the Commissioners for the use of the municipal architect. The new rifies for the: cadet corps have not .yet arrived, a condition | which, it s hoped by the military. enthusiasts, will soon be relieved, Some of the schools have already re- celved the quota and have made a splendid impression. The first of the second semester ad- visory periods closed Friday, and; many an ambitious athlete is look- ing forward with trepidation to the | publication of the ratings which may+ spell riod of enforced withdrawal athletic activities and a buckling down to scholastic work.
