GREAT SCHOOL FOR MEXICO.
Southern Rspublie In 1910 W ill Open
* Ita First N atiin a l Univarsity.
“In 1910 Mexico w ill open Its first
national university,** said Professor
Manuel Velasques Andrade, an In­
structor In physical training In the nor­
mal school of Mexico City, who was
recently interviewed at the Ebbltt
House in Washington. Professor An­
drade came to Washington to confer
w ith the commissioner of education
and to examine the public playgrounds
of that city. H e w ill visit several of
the large colleges of the east for the
purpose of studying the athletics prac­
ticed by the students of American col­
leges, w ith a view to adopting them In
Mexico when the university la opened
there, says the tyashlngton Post
“ 1 have been In most of the countries
of Europe, where I studied physical
training and field athletics In connec­
tion w ith the principal universities of
those countries,’’ continued Professor
Andrade, “and I am convinced that the
United States Is fa r ahead of all other
countries In this respect The young
men who attend your colleges are bet­
ter trained, more enthusiastic and bet­
ter developed as a result of athletics
than those of any place I visited In
Europe, and this Is due, I believe, to a
more advanced system of physical
training. W e hope In Mexico to estab­
lish the same sports in connection w ith
our dnlverstty that are In vogue at
American colleges.
“I t Is a mistake to believe that the
Mexicans go In for brutal forma of
sport», ju c h as bull fighting.
Your
people have a wrong Impression. Bull

patronage of foreigners. A t any ex­
hibition o f this sort you can find 00

Americans, 25 per cent- of Spaniards
and the remaining 15 per cent, per­
haps, of Mexicans. Bull fighting has
been practiced so long In Mexico that

tives. But the first thing an American
or other foreigner wants to see when
he arrives in our country la a bull

probably the most profitable forip of

RABBITS FOR A CITY’S POOR.
Kansas Man Offers a Suggestion For a

Have the railroad companies furnish
a car and ask the persons living near
tho railroad to kill rabbits. Have the
rabbits brought to the depots on a cer­

This is the plan R. A. Rogers of Bel­

believes a carload of rabbits could be
furnished each week for the poor of
Kansas City.
