All meanwhile had ac- quired cheerfulness and normal childish activity. They had also learned the art of mutual helpfulness. The whole thing had been accomplished at an average cost of less than 28 cents a day for each child for food and at a cost of %Y cents each for administration and training. It was late In October when the camp took on the full character of an outdoor school. From that time until the middle of Janumiy the school was conducted in an unheated tent. Then the removal was made to Franklin park. Some years ago Boston bullt at a cost of $200,000, it is said, a huge yellow brick structure on a lovely bit of rising ground just within Franklin park. This was to be a restaurant whither throngs of driving, riding and motoring folk might come to eat, drink and make merry. There was plenty of room to spare here and the open air school was welcomed to the place. On the roof was set a sort of pavilion with canvas sides and a big indoor apart- ment was given over to the school. Mead has not had her puplls indoors a single day the whole winter, and even the accustomed severity of the season that Boston calls spring has not been able to drive the school to cover. A visitor to the sohcol on the roof the other day found twenty-two youngsters at work in the pavilion on the roof with AT SCHOOL ON THE ROOF Results of an Experiment with Bos- ton’s Tuberculosis Children. COUNTERACTING WHITE PLAGUE All Winter They Studied, Played and Slept the Open Air—Some Cured, All Pronounced Better. in BOSTON, Mass,, May 2.—Since the mid- dle of January Miss Helen M. Mead of the Hoston public schools has been teaching a class of tuberculous children on the roof of a big brick bullding t Franklin park, where the winds have a fair sweep, and she declares that if the school authoritie: ever again try to make her teach indoors she will resign her place. The name of that organization Is nothing less than the Boston Assoctation for the Rellef and Control of Tuberculosis. It established lost fall at Parker Hill in Rox- bury what is called a School of Outdoor | Lite for Tubercwous Chiidren. This w done because an examination had shown that there were 100 or more cases of In. sipient tuberculosis among public school children. At first the sick <hlldren were placed in Miss | side, although the wind was keen and the sun shone rather dimly and fitfully. There have been fifty pupils in the school alto- gether, but almost thirty have been dis- | charged as having In large measure got rid of their tubercular symptoms.

As soon as they arrive the real |"d skip across th breakfast is served, a simple, wholesome, | Without sufficlent meal, freshly prepared in the|3V¢ school kitchen. \“r 4 After breakfast part of the children help | about the kitchen and dining room, while the rest go to thelr studies. Books, physl- cal exercise (part of which is the art of deep breathing) and rest occupy the morn- Ing. Dinner comes at noon, a good hot meal served in a sunny room hung with pletures of child life.
