Ephemera: A Pamphlet. |
Flier from Public School 33, the Bronx - 1921 |
This is a small four-page flier, apparently handed out several times a year as a means of keeping the parents of school children up to date. Its contents have been entered verbatim -- spelling, punctuation, and format (including the paragraph indents and the horizontal rules between paragraphs) have been faithfully preserved. (The title "Public School 33, The Bronx" was in an Olde English-style font which may not be available in all browsers.)
If you would like a copy of the original pamphlet for your genealogical records, contact me.
This is clean up time for the school year. In May we cleaned up on physical training work, individual records, State Ability Test, and then Field Day, the culmination of the series of regular monthly inter class meets. In June we clean up on the scholastic work. Now is the time for the laggards to begin to worry. The day of reckoning is at hand! Those who have done their work well during the term, have nothing to fear. They know that either they will be excused entirely, or that, for them, the tests count relatively little. For the doubtful ones, the test counts much. A word to the wise is sufficient.
Parents are invited to meet Mr. Chambers, the new Bronx member of the Board of Education, at Morris High School, Tuesday evening, June 7th, at 8 o'clock, to discuss Bronx school affairs Come on, let's go!
During the week of May 16th, we took the State Physical Ability Test, consisting of Running, Jumping, and Chinning for the boys, and Running. "Running and Catching," and Basketball Throw for the girls. Four of our 7th and 8th year classes scored "honors," thanks mainly to the girls. They did much better than the boys in this test, just as they have all term in our own physical training work. Score two for the girls! and don't forget Miss Carless, who is entitled to some of the credit.

Our system of classifying boys and girls for athletics by age, grade, height, and weight is gaining recognition in various places.
Dr. Thomas Wood, of Columbia, writes: "I am very much interested in the use of the exponent for more accurate and the best classification of pupils according to age, height, and weight within the same grade. This seems to be a desirable and interesting plan."
Dr. Jesse F. Williams, also of Columbia, writes: "In a study of the administration of physical education, I am planning to use your classification method, and should like to have your most recent cards for girls and boys."
Mr. Daniel Chase, Department of Education, Albany, writes: "You will note that on the score sheet we are asking for the age, weight, and height. This means that next year we will attempt a more scientific classification.
Mr. Charles W. Nethaway, of Pittsburgh, writes: "Our experiment at the Beechwood School has been very satisfactory, and there is little doubt that next year we will extend the scheme of Rational Athletics to the 5th and 6th grades."
