“ We haven’t discovered how far it is profitable in schools to continue the same class of work for a complete htfur or even three-quarters of an hour.” Professor J. Shelley said in an address last night. “In many cases it would he more profitable to continue for twenty or twenty-five minutes and then have a break, turning the children’s minds to something else, or having an actual rest for five minutes. I’ll guarantee more work will be done in that way than by under pressure.” The regular meeting of the Washington Lodge, 1.0.0. F., was held on Monday, July 1. in the 1.0.0.
