How Students Use Their Leisure Time. I t is now definitely accepted that the modem high school should be interested in the problem of leisure time. Recently a questionnaire regarding the spending of leisure time was filled out by a large number of Flathead students. Here are some of the most interestina.results: 1. All the underclassmen who filled out the questionnaire and all but 6 per cent of the upperclassmen do some reading during their leisure time. The averare number of hours spent a t this is 7.3 a week. 2. Forty-three per cent of the underclassmen and 55 per cent of the upperclassmen do something in the way of music performance. Five a6d four-tenths hours per week are thus spent on the average. 3. All hut ahout 10 per cent of the students spend time listening t o music. Ten and three-tenths hours are spent this way-the mast time that is spent on any leisuretime activity. 4. Seventy per cent of the underdassmen and 83 per cent of the upper classmen attend shows with more or less regularity; the typical one of these attends 1.5 times during the week. per cent and 72 per cent ~ a r t i c i ~ ain t e ohvsical activitien~orts 5. Ei~hty-two . . of various kinds. The number of hours spent this way is five. Please notice the decrease in percentages. Perhaps this is due partly to la& of gymnasium facilities. 6. Sixty-three per cent and 75 per cent participate in games such as cards, pool, and billiards. The average is three hours weekly. 7. Forty-nine per cent and 68 per cent dance; 4.2 hours weekly are spent this way. 8. Forty-nine per cent and 31 per cent read the Amsrican Mapvine; 8 pzr cent and 12 per cent the "hish-class magazines" (such as Atlantic, Harper's, etc.); 23 per cent and 13 per cent the "cheap trash." Notice the favorable trends. The American Maguzinc is undoubtedly the favorite with all classes. 9. For the underclassmen, outdoor sports are the favorite recreation, with reading a poor second. With the upperdassmen, reading is by all odds the favorite, with outdoor sports a poor second. Dancing is ranked fourth by the underclassmen and sixth by the upperclassmen. Shows are not especially popular with either group.-Thhe Flathead Messenger, Kalispell, Mont. ~
