Obviously, it is difficult to estimate the exact effects of subnormal physical condition upon scholastic progress as there are other factors bearing quite as heavily upon it. Large classes and crowded rooms, shortened school per- iods due to the numerous double platoons are still some- what in evidence, as well as alluring outside attractions and even a lack of parental co-operation in some cases.
Some investigations have been carried on this year with regard to heating and ventilation of the school- rooms. It appears to be impossible to heat and ventilate well all the rooms in a building with any automatic sys- ten of control. Some rooms were found to have a temper- ature of 84 F. degrees and a relative humidity as low as 21%. Fortunately, this combination was rare as it surely must affect the health as well as the mental activity of the pupils. Other rooms in the same building were quite comfortable with a temperature of 70 degrees and a rel- ative humidity between 40 and 50%. Pupils in the latter rooms appear brighter and more alert and probably do better work with less effort. In very few rooms were the temperature and humidity up to standard requirements.
There seems to be a growing inclination among school architects to heat and ventilate each room independently, depending upon the judgment of the teachers for proper regulation. This system is quite satisfactory but not in- expensive.
Further investigations will be made with a view to hav- ing some definite suggestions to make to your committee in connection with the planning of any new buildings which may be erected.

CLASS ODE. Tune: By-Gone Days. We will ne'er forget pleasant high school days, When our youthful hearts were light, And those comrades tried with their cheery ways, Whom we've cherished with delight. And those friendships true we will ne'er forget For we'll think of them with glee,
Whether far or near, whether far or near, On land or sea.
On this parting day, as we wend our way To the future bright and fair, May we ever find in this world so gay All our hopes and wishes there. We will win the strife if we do and dare, When upon life's waves we're cast, For we'll seek thy care, we will seek thy care As in the past. We will always hold to the standards bold, In the years which seem secure, That we'll e'er be true to our motto old : He will conquer who endures. Alma Mater dear, we will promise here That we'll ever love thy name; And we'll hold you dear, and we'll hold you dear, Farewell, Farewell.
