BOYS KNOW BETTER.

There is kind of democratic equality
promoted by boys interest in athletic
sports which balances many objections,
says the Young Peoples Weekly. Boys
prize their fellows for what they can do,
not for what their fathers were. The
playground is an open field, and all can
enter the struggle on equal terms. This
is like American life, where claims of
distinction because of wealth or family
name are silly snobbery. Stand by this
love of fair play, boys. The principle lies
at the root of this nations fair, flourish.

er than to object to an associate because
of his origin.
