HEROIC WORK FOR BOYS.

Excuse for college athletics is
sometimes based upon the need of
an interest to arouse and satisfy
boyish ardor. Granting that, there
may be other fields equally excit-
ing that can be more useful in the
,2ng- run. For instance, there is
fire fighting. Fires are every
where, and probably one-half of
their destruction could be STAYED
by prompt and vigorous action at
the right moment.
School children are now being
taught how to act for their own
safety at the outbreak of a fire.
Boys big enough to play a good
game of ball could be taught how
to tackle the fire itself. Goodness,
alacrity and strength are needed.
Objection is made to the presence
of boys in fire companies for OBJ
Nious reasons. But some of the
reasons might disappear if boys,
under careful leadership, were or
ganized and drilled as fire DEPART
ment auxiliaries. Often thew
would reach the field first and
could do some effective skirmish-
ing while the real fire fighters
were getting up with their mach
ines.

"P. S.-Overcome with shame for
what l have written, l have been
running after the messenger in or
der to take the letter from him,
but l cannot catch him. Heaven
grant that something happen to
stop him, or that this letter may
get lost"
The uncle was naturally touched,
but was equal to the emergency.
He replied as follows:

dence has heard your prayers.
