Base Ball The general public has grown to appreciate the need of athletic* in the school. Educators of promi nence are all agreed that a sound body is essential to the develoiie- rnent of a sound mind. Even the rural schools are being supplied with play sheds and equipment necessary for the derelopement of good health. Occasionally we find a man who tells us wit>h an air of righteous indignation that “ When I was a boy we did not bother with such things.’’ We will concede that be, possibly did not need the physical training when he was a youth, but a comparison of the conditions under which he received his education with those of the modern la«*., is convincing proof of the fallacy of his argu ment. Contrast a three months term of schr,ol with a nine iuoiitb term; nine months of farm labor with thre« months, often but two months, vacation in a city, and we hs.ve an emphatic refutation. 8ince Base Ball has become an established sport and ioterscho- lastic gamos are acknowledged to be esceuti.il to school activities, to place the good and bad features of the “ national pastime” in the bal ance and find what it really means to the participant ¡and the entire school is not out of place. In re gard to tiio.se actively engaged in the game, little need be said, for all are aware of the splendid qual ities developed in the player. The chief criticism to athletics is that only those practicing are benefited aud this is partly true. It creates a school spirit and stimulates the younger hoys to imitate the older pupils, which result« in good. It is our opinion th a t interscho- lastic contests are worthy as any other activity, providing they are kept on a strict amatuer basis. The little time spent in base hall is well spent.—(?) Some boys recently lost their bearings and missed the school house, oalled at the office later, had their ruddere trimmed, and compasses adjusted,have uo trouble now of sailing straight into poit, not fer.ring the breakers on the bar.
