tic contests of both sexes are public eN-
hibitions. In the spriBg, boys turn to
track atheletics, training outdoors
whenever possible and indoors in bad
weather. the girls play tennis outside,
and baseball in the gymnasium
Bows baseball teams were maintained
for a few wears: but il was found diff
cult to maintain track and bali teams
at the same time, and the latter was
abandoned. In Wisconsin high schools
baseball has almost died out. while
track athletics is of supreme interest
in all parts Of the state. Baseball *
still PLAYED on the field in an morgan
lied way. Last year boys basketball
was also dropped, as the boys preferred
to train In track work with Mr., Schuie
Much benefit was received from this
work, but a boys basketball tourna-
ment will probably be held again this
year. 4 military company was main
fained during the Spanish war, while
the boys interest turned naturally To
military affairs. The company was
equipped with wooden guns made

so that the clothing will be warmed
and dried.
In the second place, the Wausau
board of education always aims to have
at least cne person in the high-school
faculty who is thoroughly competent to
assist the boys with their athletic work
Through this arrangement, although
the school has not paid for athletic
services and has had to depend upon
the voluntary services OF its teachers,
all the teams of both sexes have been
coached by competent athletes who
have had at heart the best interests OF
the contestants and the school rather
than the winning of trophies. Last
year. MIR. +. W. Schulz taught science
in the high school and trained himself
in the high-school gymnasium and on
the high-school track for the A. A. L.
meets. AT the Milwaukee indoor meet
he eQualed a worlds record, and at
the Detroit outdoor meet he was the
star, winning three gold aud three sill
yer medals. The boys had the privi-
lege of training with him and profited
much Though the high school team
contained little material of promise, IL
won the Lawrence cup in competition

track which was'made by the boys un-
der the direction of their coach; the
board paid for the teams and~the boys
did the shoveling Inside the track are a
football gridiron and baseball diamond
outside the track are four tennis courts
and playground for Smaller children.
In front of the school is a weli-kept
lawn. If lawn or playground had to
be sacrificed, the lawn would be the first
to go, but with seven acres there is
plenty of room for both. Pupils take a
pride in lawn when it does not en-
croach upon their right to exercise.
Inside the building is gymnasium,
"a So, fitted with gallery running
track, basketball and indoor basket
ball paraphernalia, and a moderate
amount of other apparatus, such rs
horse, bars. ladders, and rings. The
m&io corridor furnishes straight
course for a thirty-five good dash
and is used by the boys for
sprints and hurdles after 5 O'Clock.

by two years of conscientious training
that he performed the greatest feat of
endurance ever done at the Wisconsin
State lnterscholastic Meet, winning
within three hours the mile in i:42 2-5,
the half mile in 200, and the first quar-
ter of the mile relay. The same sum-
mer at the National lnterscholastic
Meet at Buffalo ne won the mile and
and took second in the hve-mile, being
beaten by an Indian.
But athletic work not only improves
the body, it gives greater yigor to men
tai work. A sluggish mind is often
aroused to sense of mastery on the
athletic field, and, finding it can excel
on the gridiron, wakes up and does
we'll in the classroom The boys are
made more manly. 1t is beneath the
dignity of an athlete to tease cat or
play small tricks on the teacher. Pet
tishness is worked out; the mind is filled
with nobler aspirations. The girls are
made more robust and vigorous, and
walk more gracefully, but lose nothing
of the finer womanly qualities. Gym
nasium exercises render tight lacing
impossible; no verbal precept is neces-
sary

Athletics exist, and what,is the school
| to do? 1t makes littleS difference
whether we can agree that athletic
sports are desirable; for in adolescence
boys will have their games whether
the school approves or not. They will
organize teams and play match games,
and the school cannot prevent them.
A school superintendent making an ar
gument against athletics said: II have
done all can TO prevent football, yet
football is the ruination of my school"
Unwittingly he had furnished the
strongest argument for school direction
Opposition does not prevent athletics;
| it only renders athletics harmful. 1t is
futile to discuss whether we want to
direct athletics; we must do it and
the only practical question is; Just
what ought the school to do?
Probably the most helpful answer
can give to this question is to act upon
the suggestion of the editor of this
paper and tell what the Wausau High
School has done If the conditions fall
short of the ideal, they have the virtue
of actually existing.
In the first place, the Wausau High
School furnishes athletic facilities.

Before pupil is allowed to compete
in any lnterscholastie game he is re-
quired to file written permit from his
parents. This makes better relation
between the home and the school, and
frequently, when parent is asked by
his child for permit, he looks the
matter up, and comes to see the value
OF athletics to his child, and his attitude
will change from potential opposition
To active support. In case of doubt as

must be under twenty-One years of age,
and must have obtained passing aver

effective of all-for it prevents boy
