devised which will contain all the
grades Of a pupil from the time he

The principal object Of the Athlet-
ic association is to train the members
in business methods, hence there is a
carefully arranged system of book
keeping and the books are audited at
regular intervals by the executive
committee. In the year and a half
of its existence the association has
secured some very satisfactory re-
suits among which may be mentioned
dressing rooms at the gymnasium for
both boys and girls and furnished
with lockers; basket ball outfit of
three balls, goals and whistles for
each team, polo equipment Of cages,
balls, masks, breast protectors, base
ball outfit Of bats, balls, masks, pro-
tectors, bases, etc; a gymnasium
horse and outfit Last spring the asso-
citation secured the use of field for
base ball and tracks and field athlet-
les and conducted a successful field
meet. An important feature of the
associations work is that there is no
effort to form teams Of special skill.
but rather to interest a large number
Of pupils and provide opportunities
for health giving sports for all who
will take part. There IS no decrease
of interest from term to term but
rather the opposite. 1t is probable
that the use Of an athletic field will
be secured again this spring and it is
possible that tennis courts may be
provided for those who delight in
that game.
