:s ''Too much education''.appears, to
be" the verdict; <>f Prof% P.; Mi: I^eleani
recently^ appointed' to/ the chair of
public health :^n the/ University, .of
Edinburgh, in a discussion of the ef ••
feet of, our school training/ on ; the
health of /children. / / •;• j; : ;.;^ / /
- Professor Lelean •'•took/ his stand
by proofs; made in the -World War.
Of all men of military age in/Great
Britain, it was found that out of
every nine three were _ fit, /two were
On a'; definitely infirm plane of halth,.
.three could almost be^ described aa
physical wrecks, and the remaining
man was a ^.chronic invalid with a
precarious' hold.-' on life. /,
Iti. schools some of the younger
"children ; are pressed beyond their
mfental pcrvvers^ the result of which
at the end of every term children are
pallidy irritable,. temperamental and
obviously 'played out. At' the end
of their schoo Uife. they are like
I saturated sponges. It has been said
by a recent authority that examina­tions
"were ruining the intelligence
of the-nation for all practical pur­poses.
-Professor Lelean thought a
"Save the ^Children League" might
do good work nearer home than in
the Near East. He suggested a
three-plank platform: (1) To get
thirty per cent . knocked off every
examination standard arid every ..sec­ondary
education curriculum in the
country; (2) to insure that the
amount of homework was adequate­ly
supervised; (3) to secure a work­ing
correlation, between the school
and the family doctors, social work­ers
and district nurse.

Vasily Gromakovsky, distinguished
Russian baritone, was heard in as­sembly
this morning in a concert
which clearly portrayed the dramatic
'quality of his voice.
Mr. Gromakovsky was a prominent
singer of the Russian opera before
coming to America as a refugee.' His
voice is rich and powerful; and a
high order of intelligence marked his
singing.
• • v
This appearance was Mr. Groma-kovsky's
second, 'at ' the Normal
school. . His first being on April 9
of this year.

/ To those who have yearned for
actual contact with the various East­ern
crafts, this collection will offer
a miniature opportunity. t It : is
through the courtesy of Miss Sperry
that this. treat is made possible for
they are articles which she. collected
vvhile on her recent world tour that
are to be shown. The unusual merit
of the exhibit is not only due to'the
fact that Miss Sperry is a connois­seur,
but also. t h a t " many former
Normal students who reside in vari­ous
parts of the world aided her in
procuring a much rarer assortment
than does the average tourist.
An admission fee of ten cents will
be charged at the dOor between 2 and
5 o'clock.

An unusual occurence has taken
place in the Camp Fire class under
Miss Rosene. The enrollment was
- ••••!'
oyer seventy, and the class has been
divided- into two groups, one meeting
on Monday evening at seven and the
other, on Thursday evening at seven.
This week each class was divided
into- five distinct, groups, the first
having charge of the destiriation of
the next meeting and the blazing of
the trail; the second group to demon­strate
methods of fire-making, the
third to provide entertainment, the
fourth to plan campcraft work, and
. the sixth to arrange refreshments:
If the weather permits, the Camp
Fire Training Course. will be carried
on in this manner all summer,.
Miss Rosene plans to acquaint the
girls with Camp Fire work by giving
them practical experience; She is ap­plying
the regular program of ^ the
Camp Fire Girls to the class periods.
