Rifle Practice and the Development Of
the American Rifle.
All the lecturers will be retired army
or navy officers or others who are
authorities on the subjects treated. The
last of the lectures will be delivered
by Captain K. K. V. Casey, interna-
tional expert, whose topic is scientific
rifle shooting.
The success of efforts to arouse in
the school boy an active interest in
firearms is not to be wondered at.
Boys love to play soldier, and they
would rather read war stories than any
other kind Even when a boy has
taste fer blood and thunder books his
iudicious parents may break him of it
by turning his attention to books of the
blood without thunder variety, works
which laud and magnify war and pre-
sent Saul in the act of Staying his thou
sands and David his ten thousands.
We verify believe that the Giant Killer
books have a fascination for the young
not because there were giants in those
days" or because Jack was gallant
lad. but because he was a killer. The
author of that immortal book, "Helen's
Babies" reported little Toddie's verbal
transcription of a well known Bible
story. The part that the youngster
remembered best, and that he repeated
over and over again, was as follows:
HE cutted off Bliaff's (Goliath's) head.
and Bliaff's head was all BUGGY
bloody" If we can turn the "bluggy"
instincts of our youth to patriotic pur-
poses, we'll and good. But while we are
teaching the young idea how to shoot,
do not let us forget to teach it Ameri-
can history and the American COIL
stitution and American ethics, and
everything else that goes toward maxi
ing up AmericanisIn and forming the
character of good Americans"

movements of the swimmers are visi-
BILE to the spectators. One good re-
suit of the swimming match craze is
that swimming associations are being
formed to encourage people to learn
how to take care of themselves while
in the water. BY the way, do you
know how to swim? If you were in
peril of life would you perish for lack
of knowledge of this healthy and
wholesome art?
