DR. THOMAS ELIOT IS 78 REED COLLEGE FACCLTT AND STUDENTS EXPRESS ESTEEM. HYGIENE, AMERICAN IDEALS WILL BE TAl'GHT. Commissioner Bryan Would Make Schools a Vital, Living Force and Inspiration to Citizens. BOISE. Idaho, Oct. 12. (Special.) Americanism and physical culture will be given special attention In the schools of this state during the pres ent year, according to Dr. E. A. Bry an, state commissioner of education. Public health, vocational education and socializing of education will like wise be featured. Taking up the sub ject of Americanization, which the department of education holds to be paramount, ur. Bryan saia; mm means that the attention of our na tive population Is being directed anew and more strongly than ever to the fundamental doctrines of our con stitution and the importance of order ly government: also that the children of foreigners and near-foreigners are to be taught these same principles and are to be as perfectly amalga mated as possible: also that for eigners and near-foreigners are, so far as possible, are to be orougni into sympathetic touch with our institu tions." Regarding the necessity of giving time and attention to physical edu cation and public health. Commis sioner Bryan says: "The lesson of the war is a warn ing and a hint. While in theory. therefore, our education aimed at the education and health of the body as well as the mind, in practice we have fallen far short of our duty. In har mony with the national programme, the schools will give much more atten tion to hygiene and to the training of the body. Schools are urged to provide means for weighing and measuring the body development of pupils: to provide a more complete programme and facilities for super vised play and bodily development and to give more attention to school and community health." With regard to the importance of vocational education. Commissioner Bryan says: "The development of our Smith-Hughes programme is the most striking feature of this, but the work reaches far beyond. More and more, the schools must connect up with the life the children are presently to live and the work they are to do. By the socializing of education is meant that the school is not to confine Its ac tivities merely to the teaching of cer tain set branches and texts, but is to be an active living force in the entire community, the center of Its life and aspirations. The health of the com munity through protective means and public employment, co-operation in agriculture betterment through boys' nd girls' clubs and exhibits, will In dicate the direction of school functions."
