MODERN BARBARISM,

MODERN BARBARIsM.
Thar IL an old sayin tibet If yu
skratch Rooshen yu find q Tartar.
/ hev abowt kom to the konklooshen
tibet thar amt no pepel on urth the
hev a layer ov sivillyzayshun deap
enuff to stand mulch skratchen. The
barbaryun is not very far frum the
surfais in moast peepel.
We hoald up our hands in holey
horrer when we reed abowt how the
old Roamens uwsd to amews them
selvs by gittin into a surkuss and
watcher the eladyaitors bootchering
eech other or filing wild beasts. But
we don't see ennything rong in paying
big admishen fea to sea the fowr of
the yooth in our hyest edewkayshenel
institooshens doing THAR level best to
braik eech others limms. We hev
simply taken away the peppens tibet
mark the progress to a hyor staff of
sivillyzayshen and putting the yung
fellers back to the condishen| of the
broots, and then let them go for eech
uther and do awl the damaii thay kin
do.
When 81 big over grone fellers pile
on to one and brake q few ribs, twist
his backboan so tibet yu kant tell
which way he is going, telleskoap biz
backboan so that the he'd gifts driven
down whar biz sholders awt to be, the
awdyens goas wild with delite and
showts themselvs so hoars tibet thay
kant tawk fer q weak. When q man
gifts killd thay regrets it bekaws it de-
lais the gain while the remanes ar
taken away and new within IL SUBJ
stitooted. When the battel il ovor
thar IL a kuppel ov duzzen of yung
fellers stroon over the feeld promis-
kewus like, and the surgeons git bizzy
picking them together and fitting the
peeses together in sum shaip. Thay
doant alwaze git the rite peeses in the
rite plais, and Teller hoo has been
thru tibet mill kin newer tell AFTER
wards whether he hez got biz oan noas
and GERS or sumboddy e]ses, onless he
talks the prekawshen to put a pryvait
traid mark on them befoar the row
begins. But the awdyens IL sattis6de,
bekaws the barbaryen in them hez he'd
chans tn sea sumthing in harmoney
with his natur. This state spends
hundreds of thowsends of dollars evry
yeer on hyer iDstitooshens of turning.
1t mite be suppoasd tibet the prize
stoodent wood be the one with branes
hoo wood be abel to lurn the moast
and maik the best ews of biz turning.
But branes ar at a diskownt, hekaws
good branes kant get the proper ak
kommodashen in bulletheds, and that
is the best VARIETY of he'd to ews fer
butting throo the opposishen in a
gain of footbaw1. The prize stoodent
IL selekted akkording to the roofs fer
judjipg shorthorn kattel. Good beat
animels top the market.
If the footbawl enthewsyazzem was
konfnd to the fellers tibet do the play
ing it wood not matter so mulch, be-
kaws moast of them ar not the kind
tibet kin do mulch studying anyway.
But the hull skool ketches the fever
and awl study il interfeerd with to
graft ekt tent ter tew or three munths.
The stoodents talk footbawl, think
footbawl, and dream footbawl. The
ownly thing tibet goes on the reggeler
way dooring this eksi,ement il the ek-
spenses of the institooshen.
I like to sea skool talk a proper
interest in fisikkel kultewr tibet will
Develop helthy boldly along with a
we'll developed brane; but I don't
think that the proper way to Develop
strong boddys il to let the strongest
stoodents play front end railway kol-
lishens till thay look like thay he'd
gon throo a thrashing masheen, while
the rest of the skool induljos in an
Indyun war dams. A yung man awt
to be abel to git awl The eksersise he
neads without SCATTERING biz limms
over tew-aiker feeld. A yung man
man hoos left eye il berrid in the mud
or Northrop field, hoos noas is left at
Madison, hoos skull il held to gethsr
