OPEN AIR PUPILS WELL CARED FOR Miss Marian Williams, Super-I intendent, Tells of Excellent ! Results of Control System Miss Marian C. Williams, super-! enterdent of the Susquehanna open ; air school in presenting her semi-1 annual report, says: "As almost the first half year's] work of another school term is | completed, tho results at the Sus-1 quehanna open air school, Fifth and Mahantongo streets, are unusually interesting. Fifty pupils have been | enrolled since September 4, 1917, and with the extreme winter weath- j er, the average attendance dally is j 44, which is 88 per cent., and which shows a marked eagerness to be in the fresh air. The gain in weight for Ave months | has excelled all other years in that! time. Forty-eight children have J trained 265% pounds, which is an I average of 5.31 pounds per pupil, j Two pupils neither' gained nor lost] since the opening of school, which is not at all discouraging. Of these | fifty pupils, twenty-six are girls and twenty-bour boys, but the boys show! greater gains than the girls. The children are being well cared fori having two nourishing lunches pro vided daily, at an expense of $.09% per pupil, which does not seem so much, considering living expenses during the past year. Tho teachers and pupils want to thank all their personal friends and organizations who were so very kind to them dur ing the Christmas holidays in aid ing their wonderful success with the Red Cross seal campaign. The school is in charge of Miss Marian C. Williams, ably assisted by Miss Claudine Melville.
