THE FARGO FORUM EVENING

les q. fact. Barney isn't an applicant
for the position Of third base coacher
for the Giants but he does intend 70
propose legislation to eliminate from
the side lines ali but those athletes
who are hired FOR their ability to play
ball. The only, exception ne Is willing
to make Is that managers In uniform
may be allowed to coach as usual.
The Pittsburg mans effort to exclude
superannuaCed athletes from the field is
directed particularly at Latham, as he
is the only person in the league who
wears uniform solely for The purpose
of giving vocal encouragement to the
home team and to toss CONSERVATION
Into the ranks Of the enemy. IL the
measure isn'r made especially to ut
Latham. he is, at least, the direct cause
OF IT.
Tfarking back to the season lust de-
parted, the circumstances that led to
the suggestion of this rule viii be re-
membere0 by the fans who saw the last
series OF Pittsburg games 1T the Polo
grounds. Tt was one day early In Sep
TENDER and the Giants were engaged
in walloping the Pirates, who at that
time were beginning to feel nervous
and apprehensive over Chicago's last
desperate bid for the pennant. The
were straining to win every
game here and their tempers were any
thing but angelic.
Remarks stuna Pirates.
In this game Latham was pernicious-
" active. and his remarks stung some
Of the Pirates. The Giants knocked
crack pitcher out Of the box Deacon
Philippe veteran who has wirhstood
many a cross-fire from the first and
third base coaching boxes, went to the
rubber.
BE careful now, boys, the Deacon
has few tricks UP his sleeve" sang
tut Latham, and he followed this re-
mark with serio-comic advice TO the
Giants, advising them to have great
'espect for Philippe's arm. In one in
ling he had Philippe's goat" The
9ittsburg pitcher complained to the
lmpires, but they decided that Latham

Public School
( Education
IT 10 LOOKING OUT MORE FOR
THE INTERESTS OF THE
GIRL STUDENTS.

THE whole trend of public school educ
cation Is changing. In the old days
everybody had to learn certain things,
whether the brain was fitted for them
or not or whether the future life de-
nanded them. This was particularly
hard on girls, who because of this gem
eral system of education learned a lot
Of things that did them absolutely no
good and were painfully ignorant of
others of vital Importance.
There are many schools in which this
is true yet, but the scheme Of special
king is one that Is rapidly growing into
favor. Teachers are encouraged to
study their children and to help them
to choose the branch OF education that
win avail them most in what they I'M
tend to offer the graduate TO teach a
girl to know her own abilities and
make the most Of them is more valu-
able than all the science and higher
mathematics that can be ground into
her head.
Teachers also are being chosen with
q view to their loving and understand
ing children as much as for their book
knowledge
Girls now have q course In house
keeping in the manual training high
school where they can learn those
things every woman should know about
keeping house. There Is gymnasium
where they are taught to stand, sit and
walk correctly and where round shout
ders and weak chests are abolished
They are taught dancing. which makes
them graceful and is of the greatest
benefit in social life, and in some
schools there are dressmaldng and mil
linery courses.
IL q girl wants business career she
takes the business course in high
school If her tastes are toward teach
ing or writing she follows the literary
course.
This seems indeed vast improve
ment on the old days when every child
was forced through Latin, geometry
and advanced arithmetic, with the adj
dition of few ''ologies." and was con-
stdered fit to face the world then In
any capacity

The BASEBALL BOOzERS
Days Of Drunkard Are Numbered
Managers Do Not Want That
Class of Men.

! "The days Of the 'souse' and the care
less actor in big league baseball is a
thing of the past" Manager Griffith
said the other day. IT don't want any
man on my team who drinks to excess
at any time, or who fails to keep ia
perfect condition throughout the emit Z
season. / don't care how good play n
he may be when he is right, if he drinks
he is unreliable and no real go % a
ball club. This Is not a temperance
lecture, for this is a free country, an |
everybody has a right to do as he
pleases with regard to his personal
habits. 1t is simply my way Of looking
at IL from a business point of view.
Baseball has become a scientific game,
which requires the greatest effort that
player can put forth, and he must BIZ
in shape all the time, or he cannot 81 q
his best services. All the great players
of the country are bright fellows, who
appreciate the value of keeping in con-
dition. Those who do not keep in con-
dition are not bright and are of little
use to a club that is trying to win =
as ] find one of my players failing to
do the right thing in this respect am
going to get rid of that fellow just as
soon as can for he will be a handi-
cap to the club, in case of a close fight
for position. 1t would be a fine thing
to need one game to cinch a position
In the race and then have one of your
best men report on the big day In no
shape to work. None OF these easy
going fellows need apply to the Cincin-
natl club, for there is no room for them
on 1T. / am no Sherlock Holmes. and
/ have no time during the summer to
spend in watching my players to see
that they do not go TO the bad every
once In while. / want only men ON
whom can rely always for their very
best efforts" Grih himself has always
kept in the best of shape, and that is
why he can now, though nearly forty
years of age go out on the field and
give as good an exhibition Of pitching
as many young man fifteen years his
junior. He has the correct idea on this
point, and he says he intends to live
UP to 1t strictly next season. The
Reds are going to have a hard battle |
In 1910, for Griff aims high, and he is |
going to keep the club at top notch
speed right from the jump. Men who
are not able to keep the pace will have |
to 80 to some OF the don't care clubs, |
where the journey around the circuit |
Is apt to be one big round OF pleas
ure.

clean water to drink. Plain boiled
water between. meals often will aid
digestion and satisfy child that Is
restless If the child is wakeful and
restless during the night glass of

quieting.
Fresh air is necessary tn the nur-
sery for the health and well being
of the child ~ the room Is small and
is arranged SO that lowering one of
the windows little at the top will
creae draft. the windows must be
kept shut, but the air of the room
must be changed twice a day.
While the, child Is out for the MORN
ing airing the windows should be
opened wide and the fresh air allow

noon the room should be aired while
the child Is taken to some other
room. At night the window should
be lowered an inch or so. for unless
