compulsory course in Hygiene is substituted for active work in the
physical education department. A yearly medical and physical examination
is required.

first term must be repeated; for the required year’s work is to be
continuous.

free work, dumb bells, wands, Indian clubs, chest weights, mat work,

the sick; public sanitation, such as prevention of infectious diseases,

dairies and markets, and federal activities in control of public health.
A medical examination is made of every freshman girl during her first

addition the physician is ready for consultation with pupils or their
parents or teachers whenever desired.
