In the physical examination given in this office I will attempt to take only the measurements which are particularly significant as an indication of physical condition and the ones which can and will readily show progress made. This is in accordance with our policy for individual wTork. The exam ination consists of recording weight, height, posture of shoulders and spine, chest expansion, lung capacity, strength of grip, condition of heart, eyes, ears, nose, throat, and teeth; is there deformity or injury.

Mrs. Brown has opened a place at 912 South Majn s'treet, and will endeavor to run it along such lines as the teachers and parents approve.

Nearly every, town of this size has a place of this sort and Fort Scott has felt the need badly for some time, as there are over five hundred students attending school and a greater-part of them live a long way from home, and bring their lunches. The bill of far2 will consist of sandwiches, baked beans, salads, pies, ice cream, coffee, milk, cocoa and other inexpensive and suitable things.
