At. the regular meeting of the
Frank C. Godfrey Post. No. 12. Am-
erican Legion. held at the temporary
home 50 Wilton Avenue. last night:
it was decided to vacate the present
quarters of the post. which the Post
has occupied during the past year
through the courtesy of Charles H.
Harris. who donated the building 83
a. meeting ‘place until they‘ found
more suitable quarters.
It was stated this morning by Com-
‘mander Down-s that reason for this
action was that the members of the
Post have come to the conclusion that
their former home was too far from
the center of the city. He also stated
that the Post wished to thank Mr.
Harris through the local newspapers
for his donation of their former
quarters during the past year.
In the future the Post will 11013

Following the regular business

tive session. closing the meeting on
representatives of the two local pa-
pers. At. the executive session. the
appointment of Superintendent Bu-
chanan was made and matters per-
taming to the new school building
program Were discumed.
The superintendent's monthly re-
port follows:
To the Board of Education :
The new semester has begun with
:such smoothness and regularity as to
make the change almost impercepti-
ble. The regular semi-annual pro-
motion scnt nearly a hundred pupils
into the Senior High to take up the
work of 'the tenth grade. The re-
sultant move-up all along the line
gave space for thendmission of about
150 kindergarten pupils. This brings
the year's net enrollment well above
5.000.
The last year's annual report. now
on the press. has been greatly delay-
ed because of a desire to give as
good an idea as possible of the new
department of health education pro-I
vided by the last legislature. The xe-i
ports or supervisors are omitted from
this issue and the space is given to
cuts representing the various school
activities. In order to show up the
health education work by pictures, it
was necessary to get the work organ-
ized, eduipment in hand, and games
. practised.
\Ve weekly expected the state’s syl-
labus for this department but finally
Miss Thompson had to make an out-
line of work which we presumul the
state department would sanction. All
this caused delay. but we beneve’the
attention it gives to health education
and our various school activities will
give this report especial value at this
particular time. .

issue we may to 7 other forms of

The round faces and bright eyes
formerly so uncommon in primary
grades at midwlnter are almost uni-
versal in our elementary classes. The
child without proper wraps is the
exception. Colds and coughs are not
so common as they used at be. Par-
ents and children know how to avoid
the common ailments and the im-
portance of such care.
Many children come into the
schools with good training in habits
and observations which preserve the
health. It is an important duty of
the schools. especially the primaries.
to lead all children to know and prac-
tice these essentials Under the lead-
ership ot’ the nurse our teachers are
organized and co-operate splendidly in
this valuable work. Under the old
way of instructing primary children
in hygiene they received a knowledge
of the branch with a minimum of at-
tention to its practice. Under the
new way the practice of rules of hy-
giene receives the greater attention.
The increased health. happiness, and
regularity in attndance proves the
superior value of the new method.
With continued faithful attention to
this department of chil welfare pub-
lic sentiment and co-op ation will be
so general in its support that the now
too common illnesses among the small
children will be rare. We may all be
thankful for the progress already
made toward a general appreciation
of the knowledge and practice of the
rules of healthful living and look
forward with high hopes that good
health. happiness and efficiency will
become more and more general among
our school children.
Very truly yours.

in opening a grocery store “I don't

mistaken," he wrote.
A number of letters dated from
l’cbruaryto December 1920 were read
in which the teststor deplored the
fact that his nephew was in ill-
hcalth and forwarded a sum of money
to him for medical treatment. In
audition to this he was receiving a.
monthly remittance of $100 which
was later increased to $150 as the
mother of James was in poor health.
"I don‘t like to give you advice."

Grand Master. “'ilder was the first
head of a Grand Lodge of Masons to
issue a letter on the Ku Klux Klan.
and to this he remrred briefly. saying
that he did not deem further com—
ment necessary. In that letter he said
that. while it is the priviliiege of
any Mason to join any organization as
long as he does not. violate the law of
the land or his duty as 3. Allison.
(the grand master) "deeply deplored
any attempt to connect the oldest and
greatest fraternl‘; in the world with
this so-cailed klasi."
The grand rumor mentioned the
need which the maternity had felt of
a chaplain at Allington Hospital and
for funds to provide one. A iurther
appeal is made for additional funds
to continue ministxations of spirtual
comfort for those at the hospital who
may desire them. Voluntary subscrip-
tions already have been about $3.000
for a chaplain.
In his discussion of Grand Lodge
finances the Grand Master spoke of
the Masonic Home at
now caring for fifty men and sixty-
two women. while the charity founda-
tion has forty-one outside that insti-
tution and the Eastern Star Hospital
-making a total of- 206 persons. Unless
there is substantial increase in re—
venues the work carried on must be
curtailed. the grand master said. He
offered two plans for consideration.
The order. according to the statistical
report. has about 40,000 members in
the state. .
