ical E dcucaion uepartnnt nare uanzc public by Daniel Mi. Davis, director of recreation and director of the Public School Physical Training de- partncnt. The tests as designed by Mr. Davis are g ivén to test thé child's, profici-,. ency in the ordinary sports in which every boy and.girl participates in bis, Leistwe lime. During the first' part of the school :year, d'e fundamentals ofthe current sport are taughit to botîx boys' and girls and after several weeks of practice each child isý tested to find bisability and knowledge of each sport. In the ýcase of the upper grades where the child has been tested in the same sport during the, previous year both year's records are shown to the child togetiier with bis health chart in order that be may discover bis progress in td'e sportand ncrease ini strength and bodily con- trol dnring the year. * The tests as a whole lvieui studied froni year fo year show reiarkable growth in skill as denionstrated by the tests given the first .year the child blaves the fourth grade' and is tested ina atlîletic skills 'to the tume hefinishes. the. eighth grade,. Mr Davis says. He also points out that each year the standard of aciieve- mient for the varions age and grades is: considerably highier. l-owever, sitîce a neîv standard of competition bas been inaugnrated and the old 5 grade system is no longer ini force, a new set of rules for conîparison must be made and the new records will be of no use for statistical purposes in showing the progreas of a child's physical ability until the fitst set of tests are gven in 1932-33. Records set in the tests completed this year are chiefly important ina that they show that the average child in t the public schools kinows how to &op kick, punt,- pass,. ani receive1 a foot-* bail, bat a volley bail correctly and ý kick. it. considerable distance. This t fact is demonstrated in the following records set by the following children'- in each class. -stolP Boys, tootbafl performanes in attenciance at thie fina. for the tournament, or to then nt the Recreatio 914 Central avenue.

This. fact was borne out last year. inasmuch as Minmette was the only north s hore town a ble. to> have an ice skating meet at al and, even thefi, the ice was nothing to :boast about. However, plans are being made t o conduct the 'sixth annual meet on the day scheduled and il there ' is the slightest chance of the event bej,îg held. on that day il 'iv ili be rin off as scheduled regar<lless of adverse cOnditions.
