PRESIDENT ELLIOT ON MOD.
ERN FOOTBALL.

Z President Elliot Of Harvard, has Just
given out a statement on the modern
football game. He says:
THE American game of football, as,
now played, is wholly unfit for coll
leges and schools. 8.
"Q) 1t causes an unreasonable
number Of serious injuries and deaths;
not one in five of the men that play
football several seasons escape with
out injury properly called serious, and
of the twenty to thirty picked. players
who play hard throughout q season,
hardly a man escapes serious injury.
The public has been kept ignorant
concerning the number and gravity Of
these injuries, the prevailing practice
among coaches and players having
been to conceal or make light of the
injuries sustained. Many Of the SER
ious injuries are of such a nature
sprains, strains, wrenches, disloca-
tons, ruptures of ligaments and mus
cles, and shocks to the brain-that in
all probability they can never be per-
fectly repaired.
."(2) Violations of the rules of the
game by coaches, trainers and players
are highly profitable, and are con-
stantly perpetrated by all parties.
"(3) In any hard-fought game many
of the actions of the players are in
visible to the spectators, and even to
the referee and umpire; hence much
profitable foul play escapes notice.
"(4) The game offers many oppor-
tunities for several players to combine
in violently attacking one player. s
"(5) There is no such thing as gen.
erostiy between combatants any more
than there is In war.
"(6) Acts of brutality are constant
ly committed, partly as results of the
passions naturally aroused In fighting,
but often on well-grounded calcula-
tons of profit towards victory.
"O AS a spectacle, for persons
who know what the game really is,
football is more brutalizing than prize
fighting, cock-fghting or bull-1ghting.
Regarded as combat between highly
trained men, the prize ring has great
advantages over the football field; for
the rules of the prize ring are more
humane than those of football, and
they can be, and often are, strictly en-
forced. The fight in a prize ring be-
tween two men facing each other is
perfectly visible, so that there are no
secret denominations as in football.
Yet prize-fighting is illegal.
"(8) The game sets up wrong
kind of hero-the man who uses his
strength brutally, with reckless dis
regard both of the injuries he may suf-
fer and of the injuries he may in1lict
on others. That is not the best kind
of courage or the best kind of hero
The courage which educated people
ought to admire is not that reckless,
unmotived courage, but the courage
that risks life or limb to help save
others, or that risks popular condem-
nation in speaking the truth, or in
espousing the cause of the weak or the
maligned.
"All these evils of football have now
descended from the colleges into the
secondary schools, where they are
working great moral mischief. 1t is
clearly the duty of the colleges, which

The Woman's Part.

Can it be that women who yearn to
get out into the world and set to rights
those things which they see are going
sadly wrong realize their power for
good in the position to which, rightly
or wrongly, custom has assigned them
the home?
1t is trite and platitudinous enough
to say that woman's place is the
home, and the Herald is not going to
say it for that reason, and for the
further reason that in this day and
age woman, like man, does pretty
much as she pleases and as circum-
stances will permit. If she wishes
to enter into the fields Of activity that
We're once exclusively occupied by
man, she can do so, for hardly one of
them is barred to her. She can preach,
she can practice law, she can min
lister to the sick as physician or
nurse, she can enter the newspaper
business, to a limited extent at least,
and in some states where she is al
lowed to vote she can enter actively
into politics.
On the other hand, if she chooses to
remain in the home, to become the
helpmate of some strong man and the
mother of his children, she has open
to her a pathway full of use and
beauty. Few women realize, perhaps,
how much Of a mans success must
come from his home life. Possibly
this is because men don't tell about
it, and in that case the men are
wrong; they should tell about it, for
women appreciate appreciation as
much as men.
But to man who spends his day in
battle with the world, in founding and
building up business, in climbing
the lader of promotion in the employ
of others, in following his vocation in
life, whether it is q business, pro-
fession or a mechanical trade, the
hours that he spends at home should
be hours of ease, of rest, of comfort,
and of wholesome association with his
family.
A quarrelsome or fretful disposition
may make those hours horror to him,
while calm, philosophical, helpful
temperament may make them the
brightest of his days. A man who
goes forth from home into the world
every morning carries with him the
influence of that home. If the atmos-
phere is one of cheerfulness and con-
tent and hope, he goes forth better
man and will do better work. If the
home sphere is clouded with discon-
tent, peevishment, quarrels and pes
simism, he is likely to go forth in the
morning discouraged, hopeless and ILL
fitted to cope with his daily duties.
The women make the home, though
Of course they need the men to help,
and there is no hope for the man who

heard Of no more. Why? They did
not particle of good in the world,
not line they wrote, not word they
spoke could be recalled, and SO they
perished-their light went out in
darkness, and they were not remem-
bered more than the insects of yester-
day. Will you thus live and die? Live
for something; do good, and leave
behind you monument that the storm
of time will not destroy. Write your
name by kindness, love and mercy on
the hearts you come in contact with

OF course like q man that's strong.

A man who's certain to stay hitched,"
not bolt and run away,
Upon whose friendship you can count
when standing-by means much.
Who when your line Of friends break
ranks moves up in closer touch,
But men who're frail I'll not condemn,
they bid no hopes arise,
The vacillating mans the one I thor

The man who wabbles isn't safe, on him
one can't depend.

ness to please

The Countess de Castellane has en-

the Count de Castellane, q French

Miss Anna Gould, daughter of Jay

marriage settlements of Miss Gould
on the count was the payment of his
gambling debts.

This part has been done. Then, short

places on the State ticket, for the two
houses Of the legislature. and the hold
