A. r. HCag of Bates said the kind 4
foot ball player that had been de-
scribed here and in the newspapers
was a thing of the past. He had had
| three years experience playing foot
| ball and he knew whereof he spoke.
He believed the game was good thing
for the morals. 1t taught self control,
it taught the player to keep his temper.
The player learned to fight, and that
is what life requires, and to fight good
naturally. Foot ball players that in
dulge in smuggling do not make good
players. That fact is now generally
recognized by experts. Energy should
be spent in attacking the evils, in pro-
viding proper supervision rather than
in attacking the game.
Mr.. F. c. Harrington spoke from ex-
perience of foot ball and players, who
he had always found as rule to 1e
honorable young men.
Mr. f. G.. Fasset said that while the
newspapers had been accused of ex
aggerating the dangers CT the gameit
should not be forgotten that more often
they were asked to refrain from tell.
ing all about the brutality He knew
of several such instances, the persons
making the request saying that to tell
the whole would ruin the game.
The superintendent of schools IN
Everett, Mass, told of team in the

keep up the standard of the school.

An Abstract Of Pap.r on English, by A A.
Badger.

Only small per cent of tn" scholars
who go out from our high schools year
after year are able to read, write or
speak their mother tongue with any de-
gree of accuracy or iiuency. They have
no appreciation of the wealth and SPLEEN
dor of the literature within their grasp.
The trouble lies below the high school
English should be the key note OF every
course of study from kindergarten To cot
leSe. Pupils are left too much to them
selves in selecting their own literature
Ii is not necessary that We give more
time to the study of English than we do
now. but we do need to make better use.
of the time thus spent We do not re-
quire enough pure memory work. Fifteen
minutes Il day can be profitably spent, in
memoriZins the best gems of literature
both prose and poetry Better results
can be obtained in English. by teaching
less technical grammar and more Ian
Suage. literature. and history. by re-
curing more memory work from the pu-
pills and by the teachers living more with
the best poets and statesmen of this and
Epther lands. Form school libraries: make
use of the best supplementary reading
books; use the scrap book i'm all compo-
sition work and study of literature and
history. Employ the very best teachers
possible Teachers whose hearts are in
their work-who teach not simply for the
small salary they receive but. rather be-
