MAKING main
Line STRAIGHT
Big Improvements Under
Way by the B. & o.
at Grafton.

GRAFTON, July 9-The traveller
coming into the city from the east
Just now cannot he otherwise than
impressed with the sign OF progress;
rs the work of strengthening the long
curve on the main line OF the B. &
o. main line leading into this city
is we'll under way and there are a
large number OF men az work.
A steam shovel is also at work
and this has been doing much of
the work. The Improvements in
clnde the elimination OF the curve
and the construction of new
bridge to take the place of the pres
ent curved one across the Three
Forks creek. Chief Engineer James
has a number OF engineers assisting
with the work, and will furnish en-
ployment for the remainder OF the
summer. and 1t Will likely be COM
pleted late In the fall.
About three-quarters of mile of
track will be Strengthened by the
changing of the approach to the city,
and some deep cuts and heavy fills
have already been made. These Inn
prcvements entail the expenditure
of large amount and costly con-
struction work means business for
Grafton. II RdHUN
The eastern approach to the city
has always been bad one and trains
have been frequently delayed. 1t Ia
the idea of the b. & o. to get rid of
these delays and better facilitate its
equipment for the handling Of I. the
traffic. When the yards are con-
gested 1T is very difficult to move
the trains with dispatch In and out
of Grafton to and from the East.
This difficulty will lbe completely
eliminated by the present Improve
ments when the work is finished.

ARE HARMFUL

Intense Competition Causes
Neglect Of Study De Y
clares Slocum. !:

DENVER. Colo. July 9.-"The
time has come when the glory of an
athletic battlefield Is much more in
evidence than the intellectual and
moral achievement in the class room, =
said William ]. Slocum, president OF
Colorado College. Colorado Springs,
Colo. in his address. today before the
department of Physical Education OF
the National Education Association,
There are ut the present time one or
two things which are seriously af-
fecting the physical training espec-
tally in our colleges and universities.
the influence of which Is also felt very
directly In our secondary schools
the speaker declared. This is the
outcome very largely of the intense
competitive spirit which has en-
tered into the athletic sports which
are carried on among American stu
dents. The competition has become
so fierce that 1t is centerlng the in
terests OF physical education in pre-
pairing athletes for contests rather
than the development of thorough an
tenectual scientific physical culture
for the larger number of young men
and women.
THE great danger of the game OF
foot-ball as 1t IS at present played be-
tween our American colleges and sec
ondary schools. is that 1t Is not dom
mated by love of sport for its own
sake. 1t tends to produce an abnor-
mal type of physical development
simply for the purpose OF Intense com
petition. 1t does not produce either
mental or physical normal conditions,
but rather abnormal. Mentally 1t
shows the same results as war and
pugilistlc contests. AT least this is
the predominating element of foot
ball as played at the present time on
the athletic fields of the country. This
Is indicated by the fact that the mo-
ment that the football season is over
the game disappears when one side
has won and another been defeated.
The spirit and conversation growing
out of this game are similar to that
which one hears after two contending
armies have met on the battlefield, or
two pugilists have met in fight.
The escape from these conditions
will come by the development of sport
for Its own sake, as Is the case In
English colleges and secondary schools
and by including practically every
student to have his own sport which
he learns to love for Its own sake.
1t will also come by acquired physical
culture on the part of every student
| and pupil who Is not forced to be ex-
cused for some special and good rea-
SON growing out of mental or physical
intirmlties"

TEACH HOME
ECONOMICS
IN SCHOOLS
To the Girls TO Make Them
Useful Housekeepers
Later in Life.

DENVER, Colo. July 9-"our
cities are filled with miserable wo-
men, heart-sick men, and bllghted
homes, due to lack OF instruction.
for girls in the grammar and high
school courses in The fundamentals
OF home economics" This was the
statement made by President Cree II.
Work, OF the College OF Industrial
Arts. Denton, Texas. in an address
at the National Education Assocla-
ton convention today. The speaker,
in the address which was delivered
before the department of mutual
training. pleaded for the more gener-
al introduction in the public school
curriculum of arts and sciences re-
lated to home interests. President
Work recognized the desirability of
vocational schools for women, but
emphasized the idea that the courses
In such schools should also provide
thorough practical training in home
economies, because, whatever the
present ambitions and occupations OF
the girls, they will some day have
homes to direct.
Our girls should know the how
OF the art of housekeeping and
home-maklng at least as fully as
well as their mothers, and the why
good deal better" said the speak
er. THE financial problems OF the
home and household accounts must
be studied. A practical acquaint-
ance with the problems OF house
keeping adds to the freedom and
comfort of women and girls, and also
prepares them for taking their part
in safeguarding the home against
the impositions of a constituencies
commercial world. Through such
training time and opportunity are
gained for the all-important INTEL
lectual and social life of the home. +"
"The training OF teachers, provis-
ion for extension and demonstration
work in home economics. and the
further introduction OF industrial
arts and sciences into the currlcuia
of our elementary and secondary
schools. we're pointed out as most i'm
portant steps to be taken for the
preservation and upbuilding of the
American home
