Rules Committee of the Board of Edu-
cation Meets at the Office of
the Superintendent.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION is URGED
Board Will be Asked to take Action to Pre-
pare Play Grounds'and Gymnasiums
for the School Children.

The rules now governing the city
schools will be completely revised and
their revised form will bear little OF
the appearance of the rules which have
been the governing power of the schools
for the last few years. This was the
decision of the committee on rules OF
the board of education, which met at
the office of Superintendent Mcdowell
Thursday evening. Their report to
the board at the next meeting of that
body will ask that many of the old
laws be abolished and others SO changed
that they.wi11 be brought up-to-date.
The feeling of the committee was
that the rules should be changed so as
to make the schools a greater benefit
for the pupils. The committee took
quite little time in discussing the
proposed rules for the opening of the
school grounds for the pupils, and it is
possible that the decision of the board
at a recent meeting will be reversed
and that the grounds will be opened
for a longer time than has been allowed
in the past.
During the meeting an informal dis
cussion was held in regard to the phys
ica1 education of the pupils, and sew
era1 of the members of the committee
were in favor of not only opening the
grounds for the children but also of
providing some manner of physical
education to be used in all of the
schools.
Military drill has been proposed and
has been found a good thing in public
schools in the East, but the plan which
meets with the most general approval
among the Kenosha pupils is the es-
Enlistment of gymnasiums. in the
different schools. This could be done
with a small expense to the. city as
nearly all the schools now have rooms
suitable for gymnasium work. It
would, however, be necessary to pur-
chase equipment for each of the gym
nasiums, and this would demand quite
an expenditure.
At the next meeting of the board
these things will be considered and it
is exhected that some action will be
taken to make more liberal concessions
for the physical development of the
boys and girls.
The recent action of the board in re-
fusing to open the grounds for the use
of the pupils will probably be recon
sidered. The idea that the school
grounds are for the purpose of raising
trees and birds does not seem A. have
appealed to the members of the Keno
sha board. The necessity of play
grounds for the children is so appar-
ent that the city must either provide
a ground or the school grounds must
be thrown open for this purpose.

Racine, Kenosha and other cities

that an order has been made at Chi
cago that begging on the streets will
no longer be tolerated. This means
that the smaller cities will catch the
professional beggars and undoubtedly
Sheboygan will get a share of them.

Hints, insinuations, recriminat1ons
principle has been in operation in 9TH
err States with good effect. The State
of Kansas might be taken as an IL
stance. It has likewise been tried IN
California and Minnesota. Those in
stances remain as precedents. Let the
Legislature study the bill comparative
iy in all it's relations. But it must not
be concluded that because the princ1-
pie is success under one law, that it
will necessarily be SO under any law,
nor that because men oppose SPECIFIC
law, they are opposed to the principle.
The most competent authorities OF
Minnesota and friends OF the law of
that State have keen1y criticised the
bill providing for the law in this State,
as possessed of certain provisions that
defeat the purposes of the law. 1t is
to be hoped that the Legislature will
not fail to give the question the most
careful de1iberation. It is to be hoped
that the party will not divide into fac
tons on the question. If the bill is
not subject to the criticisms and objec-
tions made it is to be hoped that they
will be speedily cleared up, or If the
objections are good, that the bill may
be so amended as it to make it as near
right as possible, SO that primary
election law may be enacted that will
serve the true purpose of such law.

reports from the Dakotas are % rosy
Sportsqnen will have their desire t
bag game satiated this season.
It is said that one of the results Of
the plentiful supply Of game will be
the restriction of large hunting par
ties. City men are going into the coun'
try in small groups. Long trips in
tended by hunters from the big cities
like Chicago, St. Louss. Omaha, St
Paul, Minneapolis. Milwaukee, ETC.,
have been cut short. The sportsmer
have found it most convenient to 60
out into Minnesota, and leave the train
almost anywhere for. some rich game
region near at hand.
One of the results Of the careful en-.
forcement Of the laws in Minnesota
against training bird dogs during the
closed season has been the develop.
ment of dog market for wise" dogs
Sportsmen do not wish to have the
worry Of training the young animals
when they might be out shooting, and
the consequence will be that every man
who has good kennel of likely dogs
will send the canine pets out of the
state to have them schooled for game.
"You have to shoot bird to give the
dog the right kind of training" said a
veteran sportsman, "and as the laws
stand in Minnesota and the Dakotas,
the hunters are in a quandary. II
would be better for all visitors to bring
broken dogs with them"
Pheasants and grouse are being
bagged in large numbers. While these
birds will never be as plentiful as they
were few years ago, they have been
afforded good protection, and such
outrages as marked the almost wanton
destruction of the pheasants in north
ern Minnesota a few years ago will
never be repeated. Despite the re-
strictions that the legislatures Of the
western states imposed on hunting.
the visitors are numerous, and for the
most part are thorough sportsmen.
who have none Of the instincts of the

the sentiment expressed by President
Roosevelt when the latter was in Yer
mont previous to the terrible calam-
ity at Buffalo. Mr.. Roosevelt Inn
pressed the statement upon his audit

for the people By the people"

back trail. The timid animal is care

wide detours are necessary to get with
in shot of him.
Small caliber, high velocity projec-
tile weapons are used almost generally
by hunters who go after the shy deer,
and sometimes these bullets fired into
deer do not strike bore or vital
spot and the bong hair Of the animal
causes the blood to coagulate and stop
flowing. Tracking the wounded deer
under these circumstances is profess
sion which the amateur from the cities
cannot expect to attain prowess In.
One Of the chief dangers in deer hunt
ing which should be impressed upon
the city hunters. is the liability of
hunters to be shot by careless nimrods.
The latter will take shot at anything
moving that looks like q deer in color.
To avoid danger It is well to be careful
about clothing worn in the woods.
Wooden, Of course, is the material tor
hunters clothes. and the colors should
be neutral. The light browns and yell
low-gray tints should be Stunned, or
they will prove good targets.
Novices invariably overshoot tbs
mark when aiming after running deer.
The old hunters say that the shooter
sees his game better when it is in the
air and leaping. They tell the shooters
to shoot under when the deer is run.

80 Wisconsin, permits shooting deer,
but exempts the counties of Fond du

by using artificial light or by trapping.
The red deer of the Badger state are
going to be killed in great numbers

stiment among those who hunt each
year against ever shooting doe. This
sentiment should continue until It.

In November, when deer may be le-s
