Coach Jones frequently walked the floor with them all night; he even gave the. an extra bottle at bedtime, but to no avail. However the rest of the squad would not stand for my retirement and the problem was ultimately solved by our trading the three mal-conten's to Dartmouth for a F.actice ball. With the team thus strengthened we went on and won the Trinity and Villa Nova games and reached the big annual Thanksgiving day battle against Miss Spence's school with a record of three victories and four defeats, having been nosed out on successive Saturdays by Moler's Barber College, the War College of Washington, LaSalle Extension University and the Weehawken School for the Blind.

McDowell, superintendent of city schools, has announced that as soon as it is permissible the vocational activities that have been curtailed for the lack of funds are to be reinstated because they have been an important factor in rounding out the educational life of the youth of Bloomington. There are sewing and cooking rooms in every school and manual training shops in three of them, the Jefferson, Edwards and Horatio G. Bent. In schools where there are no manual training shops the boys who desire the instruction, have found it necessary to tramp across town to the Jefferson school, causing a great loss of time and in bad de weather. When the vocational training is taken up again, it is the plan of the board of education to establish a manual training shop in each of the city schools.

In this manner sewing for the girls in the sixth and seventh grades may be offset by manual training for the boys; and cooking for the eighth grade girls by advanced work for the boys in the manual training shops. Printing is another subject that for some time has been included in the course of study but was discontinued with the retrenchment program instituted this year when the tax increase failed to carry. When it is possible to 're-establish the print shop, it is understood that it will be in the high school. Towanda Young People To Attend Bloomington and Normal Schools. Towanda, Aug.
