Of all glad words of tongue or pen. The gladdest are these, "I used to been."

They used nine men In all. most of them men who have been on state champion ship teams and varsity teams and Independent teams and star aggre- h, Rations of various kinds. But the U' tklds played a peculiar sort of -. -game.' They ran around 'em, they j , (lucked under 'em. they sprang , over 'em, they glided past and H through and among 'em, and they shot the basket so full of holes that It Is permanently disfigured. The oldsters dared the brats to stand up and fight it out. Near whiskered champs with strings of moss-grown titles that weighted mem down like a truckload of pennies, pleaded with the elusive youths to stand still at least and '. be counted they thought there must ba at least seven or eleht under-classmen on the floor at "me. the way they dazzled around the rine.

Lynch Continuous Lynch fought cautiously. At t'mes, his defense tactics slowed I up the fight, but in several rounds, notably in the 13th aud 15th, he traded punches with the challenger on even terms. He kept out of the Midget's reach with his long left, jabbing with whip-like swi tness to !Smith's jaw and occasionally lenger's Uody as they came to grips. Neither boxer scored a knock down.

STATE WARDS GIVE PLEASING PROGRAM (Continued on page 7) sented in the gymnasium, a room totally inadequate in size for the crowds of children who are f.nt to the school. Superintendent Smith believes religiously in the gospel of physical health induced by regular and if necessary r.gor ous trainiing to coordinate the physical and mental faculties. The defective mind shows almost un erringly in the lack of bodily con trol. The aim of the school is to strengthen both body and mind through exercise and make them both work for the soul. The Christmas exercises were mostly rhythmic exercises, singing and dancing. Three sets of fairies, the "Snow Fairies." 12 girls dressed in filmy white, the "Ever green Fairies," 10 boys dressed in .green, and the "Holly Fairies," 10 dainty little girls in green and red, made up the chorus parts. There were six speaking parts, in cluding Santa Claus himself, a lame boy just at the age when the voice breaks and is as unruly as a garden-wall cat. School is Deep Study It would be a brutal, cruel mind that would go to see these children out of mere curiosity and sensation-hunting, but as a char ity, as a study in what a state may owe to those who are not able to care for themselves, for those who sufer from an awful heredity that the state might cure and does not because of Bqueamishness or ignorance, the school offers a pro found field for helpful, construc tive work. The Christmas pro gram was one of bright spots that lighten up a drab, cheerless year. Books on etiquette suggests no graceful means by which a great nation can let loo?e of a small na tion that is too hot to handle. Kxchange.
