KNIFE STICKS
IN BOYS EYE
JIMMIE BOUSLlAAN, SEVEN YEAR OLD BOY,
FALLS UPON KNIFE AND IT
STICKS IN HIS EYE

Jimmie Bousliman, the seven
year old son of A. Bousilman, met
with what came near being a fatal
accident Tuesday evening. He and
several other boys we're playing on
the street in front of the Bijou
and Jimmie had a large jack knife
" iilich he opened. In some way he
he fell and struck upon the knife,
the large blade entering the right
eye going above and just missing
the eye ball. The little fellow
jumped up screaming and started
running up the street. Mr..
Shuttleworth and Mr.. Powell we're
standing in front of the latter's
tailor shop and when the boy came
along Mr.. Powell grabbed him.
Mr.. Shuttleworth tried to pull it
>out with his thumb and hnger. 1t
was stuck into the bone and he
had to put his hand on the boys
head and pull quite hard with the
other hand before the knife could
bs taken out. The boy was then
carried to DR.. Hagen's office where
the wound was dressed, several
stitches having to be taken in the
cut. The boy had a very narrow
escape and if the knife had en-
tered but sixteenth of an inch
lower it would have entered the
/ brain. As it is he is getting along
nicely.

ENGLISH BOYS TODAY.
Fear That They Are 'Degenerating Into

Ninety per cent of our school boys are
being educated to present fawlesi

they will show an equally monotonous
eameness of physical build, Now, what
Is the outcome Of all this undue con-
stroint on a lads character? There is
reason to suppose that its effect is one
of compression on the mind; as regards
its result on the disposition, 1t is neces-
sary to speak with caution. 1t IS pei-
hans impossible accurately to sum up the
average characteristics OF the average
product of our athletic school system.
but broadly speaking, such a boy may
be described as an incarnate hurricane;
for his existence is a continuous banging
about he is naturally impatient with
everything out of keeping with his own
robust being, is intelerant OF anything
purely literary or artistic, treats with
contempt thanks to the precept and ex-
annie of his directors) all ''nOnspOrts
men" and. when he has reached sixth
form status, confines his literary studies
ON of school hours to certain gaudy
weeklies and one or two muscular"
monthies. He has a fluent command of
language which is not English. is apt to
be rough in manner, and is by no means
free from what the morahsts call vi
ciDusnesS.
On the other hand, he is not without
some good qualities-notably a certain
bluff straightforwardnes arising in part
from his steady obedience to the sporting
maxim of fair play" and in part from
his usual want of mental depth; he shows
in his quieter moments a patronizing CON
sideration for his weaker brethren, and
now and then there peep out traits of
character which tell us that. given a
happier training, he might not have
made his life necessarily rotate round
center of muscle unaffected by other and
wOrther centers.
In fact, there is every sign that many
of our boys are degenerating into an
unntelligent animalism.-Westmin
