Let goodly number go and make the
occasion success, socially especially.
Our county schools should cultivate
a good school spirit. Games should
be strictly supervised and all unnec-
essary roughness eliminated In the in
terest of clean sport. It is well for
some teacher and older ones to ac-
company students, not to handicap
boys and girls in all legitimate fun,
put to help the young people to prop
erly interpret and appreciate the true
spirit of athletics.
