au'sn ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.

Or. c. p. ttutchins, Syracuse Universal
ty, to Take Charge OF University Of
Wisconsin Athletics.
A new era in the athletic life of the
University of Wisconsin will open this
fall, when DR.. Charles Pelton Hutchins
Of Syracuse university takes charge as
athletic director In selecting DR..
Hutchins for the position the regents
Of the university secured a man who
has been carrying on athletic work
elsewhere on much the same lines as
have been planned for the state uni
versity, bringing into the athletic ac-
tivities of the institution large pro-
portion of the men of the student body
rather than picked few who have al
ready had the advantage of training
and show particular ability for certain
lines of work The eradication of pro.
fessionalism and the opening of the
sports and track work to the general
student body are the two great
changes which will mark the athletics
of Wisconsin in the coming year That
this will mean no loss of prestige in
intercollegiate athletics is attested by
DR.. Hutchins' record in the institutions
where he has held similar position.
DIR. Hutchins is graduate of Column
bia university, where he was captain
of the baseball nine in 1898. He OBJ.
tanned his medical degree at Long
Island college hospital, Brooklyn, in
1897, and his gymnastic tutelage under
DR.. w. G. Anderson. now of Yale.
For two years he was in charge Of all
branches of physical training and ath'
letics at Dickinson college. Pennsylva-
MIA, with the rank Of adjutant profess
sor. 1t was during the second year Of
his dictatorship there that Dickinson
defeated Pennsylvania state college for
the first time 10 five years on the foot
ball field, and also defeated Lafayette
college with a score of IS to 0 against
Princeton's defeat of Lafayette by IL
to O..
From Dickinson college DR.. Hutchins
went to Syracuse university, where he
has been for three years in charge OF
the SpOTtS ana CIdCh dIAiACIASo' Inv
defeat of the Colgate university foot
ball eleven by Syracuse last year, in
spite of the fact that half the men on
the Syracuse gridiron at the opening
of the year were freshmen. and thus
were raw material from high schools,
needing much training, was one result
of the hard work DR.. Hutchins has
done in Syracuse.

Adolescence.

I'm order to act with wisdom" says
American Motherhood, parents should
understand the physical, mental and
moral significance ck adolescence:
should realize that it Is crisis of
grave import to the boy or girl. Most
mothers do recognize that this is to-
the girl a critical time, and they watch
with much anxiety the physical UNI
folding Of their daughters, guard their
health, have patience with their moods
and tempers, and overlook many per-
versities with the feeling that 'she.
will be better by-and-by.' Few par
ents realize that to the boy the period
between IA and 81 is equally grave;
that it Is marked by physical changes
of equal Importance; that the crisis
is for him even of graver import, le-
cause the inner forces work with
greater energy and the outer tempta-
tons come with stronger power. This
is the time when the father should
relax the hand of authority, and offer
the hand of friendship, treating the
boy with patience and wisdom OF
which he stands sorely in need"

Trailing the Missing Link.

Scientists are again on the trail of
the missing link Two years ago
certain marks were found on a block
of sandstone near Warranambool, in
Australia, which were thought to be
the imprints of the footsteps of pre-
historic man. At the time this idea
was ridiculed, but plaster cast was
sent to Germany, and the inevitable
German savant went out to investigate
the matter. He now reports that in
his opinion they were genuine human
imprints, and this, taken in conjunc-
ton with the extraordinary human
skulls to be seen in the Warranambool
museum, is supposed to show that
link between humanity and the ape
has been discovered.-Chic Record
