NORFOLK PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We speak of industries which turn
out bread and furniture and other ma
terial things as productive or construc-
tive. We spend little time thinking
over the constructive or productive
power of our modern public school
system. The schools of Norfolk are
one of the most vitality constructive
factors in the whole community, and
as an industry it takes first rank.
Some institutions turn out things to
wear or things to eat. Schools turn
out young men and young women more
highly trained than they could have
been without the schools, more eff
ciently prepared to earn their way in
the world and TO think out their own
salvations.
they polish brains, though, and train
them in such way that the contri.
button of the school system to society
Is inestimably valuable.
The whole American continent pats
itself on the back because of its
schools-when it thinks about it. Too

better The game resolves itself, as
most other games between reasonably
evenly matched teams have this year,
into a question of the excellence of
their relative Kicking ability and In
this Harvard Is distinctly superior.
Yale, with Nccdcr playing has n
slightly stronger kicking game than
with Roomc. though the difference Is
not great enough to substitute Needer
for Ruomc In the general attack
Even Veeder, however is not the eff
fcctive kicker that Burr Is, either for
distance or for place kicks Foster
Wendell and Starr can all kick as well
as Roomc, and possibly as we'll as
Vcedcr. Harvard Is generally better
equipped than Yale, therefore, to play
the kicking game.
But the kicking game requires more
than mere booting the ball. a good
puntcr must have good ends to follow
the ball to hold the advantage he
gains He must have good catchers
TO handle return punts safely, II he Is
not to lose more than he gains in eX-
changes. And he must have catChers
who can rum punts back quite as well
as his opponent, else again his efforts
are vitiated. Harvard's ends are as
good as Yale's In following the ball
though Yale Is u little better in block
ing and protecting for the catcher, and
Harvard has safer catchers than Jones
has shown himself to be. Yale has
the advantage, If Jones does not FUN
BILE punts in running the ball back, for
both Jones and Knox, and especially
Knox, are exceptionally strong run
ming In the open field. With Starr
and Newhall playing back, Harvard Is
almost as we'll equipped but it is ask.
ing n lot of Starr to demand regular
catching of him in addition to his null
titudinous duties at end. On the
whole, however, Harvard Is better pre-
pared for a kicking game than Yale,
and on this her main dependence real
ly lies.
She is especially apt in covering the
ball on tumble. All the men have been
well coached in this and many a FUN
bic has been saved and many tumble
gained by this ability. In this prepa-
ration for exigencies, Harvard is es-
pecially well equipped, since she is
also apt in goal kicking and other val
liable points she may find use for.
1t is Harvard's great smoothness
and her superior kicking, however,
that gives her the better chance.

Herman Felhaber was fined $40 and
costs in police court by Judge Wester-

ment among people who saw the ar
rest of Felhaber by Special officer
Potras is universally censuring the
officer for his treatment of the man.
Felhaber was paralyZed with drink
and was as helpless as a child but in
spite of this fact Policeman Potras
struck him several times severely and
then dragged the man to Jail like a
sack of -four. The little daughter of
Felhaber, while anxious that her ia
Their should be jailed so that he could
not come home and create disturb
ance is said to have begged the Off
Ger not to strike the man and bystand-

for Felhaber's condition he would have
been injured by the blows.
Potras claims that Felhaber struck

make the arrest.
