GARFIELD FIELD
MEET IN MAY
New System of Scoring Has
Been Devised.

Garfield will probably hold field
meet in May. The classes in the
school will be divided into juniors and
seniors. making six competing teams.
An innovation to be used in this meet
is the manner Of counting. Each
event will count fifteen points, five for
the first place, four for second. three
for third, two for fourth. and one for
fifth. The purpose of the plan is to
encourage more boys to enter the
lists, Even though a boy cannot win
first, second or third. he may yet win
point or TWO for his team by the
new method of counting. The plan
was suggested by Orville Brunson.

NEW ELECTRICAL ARTILLERY
Terrible Gun That Throws Heavy Pro
iectie More Than 800 Miles.

Col. F. n. Maude, foremost military
writer of England, has been discuss
ing the new electric gun which, it is
claimed will throw a projectile 300
miles. or even further. In part he
says:
"If this new gun, invented by
certain Mr.. Simpson, of whom I never
heard before as being associated with
gunnery, has the power and range
which he claims for it, nations may as
we'll cease building vessels Of war.
The inventor Of the weapon states
that it carried 800 miles, and that it
has been examined and tested by half
a dozen experts. Should it be proved
that this terrible weapon would be
able to throw shells, not merely from
France. but from Holland and Ger
many into Great Britain, the advan-
tages of the navy would be almost
destroyed. Mr. Simpson said:
Yes, there is no mistake about 1t.
my weapon-it is quite misnomer to
call it a gun--will throw a shell quite
800 miles. In fact, it will throw very
much further even than that"
What impressed the one in chatting
with Mr.. Simpson was the striking
contrast between the man and his
weapon. Here was the ordnance stat
ed to be the most terrible engine OF
warfare ever known, and here was
the inventor, an elderly, peaceful man.
with Carlyle's portrait on his office
wall. Surely Mr.. Simpson was man
of peace with no liking for war.
"It is quite as easy for my weapon to
project so shells of 500 pounds each
per minute as to throw so to 60
pounds each, and to drop shot at 100
miles distant as at 100 yards. In fact,
the distance is practically no object.
Again, it makes no difference how
shots are thrown. a heavy one can
follow a light one and long-distance
one, or vice versa.
Whatever the distance or projec-

FOR THE SOUTH is GOING DRY.

Lay the jest about the julep in the
camphor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened and the
olden days are past:
That which makes Milwaukee thirst
doesn't foam in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouri is as tight
locked as can be
Oh, the comic paper Colonel and his
comrades we'll may sigh
For the mint is waving gaily, but the
South is going dry.
BY the still side on the hillside in
Kentucky all is still.
For the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill;
Moth Clina's stately ruler gives his
soda glass shove
And discusses local option with the
South Ca'lina Gov,
1t is useless at the fountain to be
winkful Of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty and
the South is going dry.
1t is water, water everywhere, and not
a drop to drink;
We no longer hear the music of the
mellow, crystal clink,
When the Colonel and the Major and
the Gen1 and the Jedge
Meet to have a little nip to give their
appetites an edge.
For the egg-nogg now is nogless and
the rye has gone awry,
And the punch holds carnations
and the South is going dry.
All the nightcaps now have tassels and
are worn upon the head
Not the nightcaps that were taken
when nobody went to bed;
And the breeze above the bluegrass is
as solemn as in death,
For it bears no pungent Glove twang
on it's odoriferous breath.
And each man can walk a chalk-line
when the stars are in the sky,
For the fizz glass now is fiZzless, and
the South is going dry.
Lay the jest about the julep meath the
chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moonshine
and the olden days are past;
Now the water wagon rumbles through
the Southland on its trip,
And 1t helps no one to drop off to pick
up the drivers whip.
For the mint beds make pasture and
the corkscrew hangeth high;
All is still along the stillside, and the
South is going dry

IF YOU HAVE A BOY.
Some Educational Problems For Pa
rents to Consider.

Some Educational Problems For Pa
rents to Consider.
In American secondary schools in
the year 1906 there were $4,000 pu-
pils-742,000 at the public high
schools and only $4,000 at private
schools Of all kinds. says writer in
Lippincott's. Many thousands Of
these latter were in the preparatory
departments Of the numerous small
colleges all over the land. but largely
in the south and west. The majority
were in the private schools in the
large cities. The Catholic church Is
more energetic than any other de-
nomination in the private education
Of the children of its membership.
In superior education colleges and
universities nominally for academic
study, but largely given over to tech
nical Instruction. there were $1,000
in state institutions and $4,000 at
other than state institutions. In pro-
fessional schools Claw, medicine, the
ology, engineering and the like, usu-
ally in connection with an academic
institution there were 1900 stu
dents at state and 1000 at other than
state institutions. There were also
$4,000 pupils at normal schools Gall
but 10000 of them in state supported
institutions), and there were about
100000 attending art, music, business,
industrial and trade schools, includ-
ing those at Indian schools and those
for the deaf, blind and other unfor-
tunates.
1t appears from these official fig
ures that about 9 per cent Of the
primary scholars, under 20 per cent
of the secondary scholars and over 70
per cent of university and profession
al students are educated at private
cost. Private education of children
in primary schools is generally secur-
ed through preference, while supe-
rior education at private expense is a
necessity except in those states where
public universities are established,
and at the latter only tuition is free,
and other expenses about the same as
at endowed institutions. At many
non-state colleges and universities
scholarships and other student aid
are provided, so that for many the
expense is no greater that at the state
institutions.
Secondary education is in differ
ent category from either Of the other
branches. In most rural districts 1t
must be at private cost, and while in
cities it is usually optional, instruc-
ton at private cost in often desirable
if the expense can be afforded. This
sort of education comes at the crucial
time in a boys life-a time when
pregnant idealism is his chief mental
characteristic, and when he needs the
most patient. tender and intelligent
care. Yet for some unknown reason
this is the period when boys are likely
to receive the least attention from
their parents.
