Teacher Tells What Fresh Air
Does For Lochiel Open 1
Air Children
Miss Mary X' Snyder, superinten-1
dent of the Lochiel Open Air School J
is delighted at all times to exploit her;
work ajid this is what she has to say]
to-day:
"Plenty of air, proper exercise, I
nourishing food, rest and careful med- j
ical inspection have given the "kid- j
dies" rosy cheeks, muscles, alertness j
and pleasant dispositions. How could
children feel grumpy and dull when i
every minute of their school day is j
spent in an atmosphere free from the I
poisonous carbon dioxide and the j
great humidity of ordinary school j
rooms?
Our youngsters have not only grown |
physically, but have done their share;
of "reading, writing and arithmetic." j
The girls have become excellent house- j
keepers and learned to care for the
little tots. The boys, too, take pride j
in their culinary work. Cooking, the!
art of dishwashing, scouring pans, I
shining faucets and an occasional bat- !
tie with the dishcloths form a part of
their curriculum.
Among the fine treats given the chil- j
dren were a turkey dinner from the;
Civic Club, a piano. Victrola and rec- j
ords. Technical students made a red!
letter day with their 'live Christmas i
entertainment and gifts for the young- j
sters.
The Anti-Tuberculosis society fur-1
nished hundreds of dollars of carfare i
so that children from all parts of thej
city may attend the school.
By special effort there has been a'
gain of 178 pounds total in the schooll
with an average of pounds each,
and the blood test shows an average j
gain of ten points. The enrollment'
was 40 pupils for the year. The lunch
eon and dinner served the pupils aver
aged 5Vi cents a day.
The term ended with a picnic in the
building because the weather man pre- j
vented a delightful lark planned forj
Paxtang park by a friend of the
\ school.
The Garden School Is now open for
all Open Air School children, as well 1
as those attending the Tubercular Dis
pensary. Folk dancing, story telling;
and gardening will be important and a
good time is anticipated."
