School Age Limits Given

All children between the ages of seven and sixteen years must attend school regularly. If a child reaches his seventh birthday by February 1st of any school year, he or she must enter school at the beginning of the school term. Pupils may be enrolled in the first grade at six years of age. Health certificates are not a requisite to entering Dade County Schools, but complete physical examinations are suggested. Every prospective school child should especially have sight and hearing examinations. All Coral Gables public schools are accredited schools, and recognize entrance cards or transfer cards from other accredited schools over the United States. Pupils should be enrolled on opening day of school, or as soon thereafter as possible. Pupils are requested to attend the school nearest their home that teaches their grade. The laws of Florida make it mandatory for all children between the ages of seven and sixteen years, to attend school. Compulsory attendance is not enforced if the child has finished the first eight grades of school. There are stricter attendance rules this year than ever before.

Miss Frances Vandiver, left and Miss Virgil Smith have only worries over their books. They know their clothes are right for college and high school days ahead.

Mrs. Celia Smith, owner of the Coral Gables dress shop says that plaids are tops in evening dresses this fall and all of the new arrivals, coming in almost daily show the plaid influence. Miss Guenther will enter the University of Miami this fall.

Physical Education Stepped Up to Meet Defense

There can't be a new order of things without taking into consideration the nation's vast Defense Program. At Ponce de Leon High School, where Principal Harry N. Rath will greet his returning pupils on Monday, the Defense Program will be felt. There will be compulsory physical education five times a week for the ninth grade and three times a week for the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades—made necessary, according to Mr. Rath, because of the all-important role that physical education plays in training for the Defense Program. Mr. Rath has just returned from a vacation month spent in Utica, N. Y., and declares the advantages of the healthful and beautiful environs of Coral Gables as an atmosphere in which to live and bring up children was brought home to him by an encounter with a former classmate at Utica. While making up his Kiwanis attendance one week, he ran into this former school chum, who is now principal of a grade school in New Rochelle, N. Y. Mrs. Mary Bingham, who, under the Florida law, has reached the age of retirement, will be replaced in the Ponce English (Please turn to Page Four)

Red's Favorite Food Color For Pupils at School Cafeteria

One of the daily chores at the Coral Gables Elementary is feeding 900 students and teachers their noon-day luncheon. This has been accomplished effectively through the co-operation of the P.-T. A. and Mrs. Ruth Goldweber, cafeteria manager. Mrs. Goldweber says planning a "three-for-a-dime" menu to include a protein or a protein substitute and appealing to the palate of the children is her first concern. "And make no mistake," says Mrs. Goldweber, "children know food combinations. In this they are trained at home and know full well they are not to eat a starch and a sweet at the same time. But they buy with their eyes, especially the bigger children, they like red and go for red jello in a big way. "That and chocolate they adore; just let us put out a white cake with chocolate icing and there isn't a piece left." Mrs. Goldweber attended the short course in cafeteria management offered for the first time at Woman's State College, Tallahassee, in June. It was a two weeks' intensive study course with demonstrations beginning at 6:30 in the morning. Miss Faith McAuley of Chicago, member of the American Dietary Association, lectured. * * * Mrs. Goldweber says that building up an efficient cafeteria has been a long, slow process. When the school first was built, no funds or provisions were made to serve hot lunches. First efforts were launched when the janitor's wife opened a few cans of soup and heated them

Board Ruling Doesn't Alter Gables School Quarantine

Abandonment, by the Dade County Board of Public Instruction, of a quarantine period for students arriving from outside the state, will have no effect on the two-week ruling imposed recently by Coral Gables, City Manager A. B. Curry said yesterday. "The school board ruling has no effect on the previous announcement by the Coral Gables health department that all children are expected to be in the state two weeks before entering Coral Gables schools", Curry said. The ruling applies to all public and private schools in the city limits with the exception of Ponce de Leon High School and the University of Miami. Curry said that he had conferred with Dr. F. E. Kitchens, city health officer, following Wilson's announcement and had decided to enforce the quarantine. "The ruling is a general health measure", he stated, "designed to protect school children from exposure to any and all diseases." The quarantine will be enforced by the city health inspector, the city manager announced. School Supt. James T. Wilson announced this week that the board would follow a policy of daily health inspection for children who have spent the summer in other states, but that no quarantine would be imposed.
