Ike, SAYS DR.. Mdr1ceH.

Whether or not the vietors in an athletic contest
should be allowed TO exult over the vanquished is
a knotty ethical problem which was discussed ana
left unsettled at the weekly conference of the
workers in the vacation Fairgrounds held in Public
School 1sS. Lewis and East Houston streets yes
teTday morning.
The occasion was festal one since it was the
first time this that the City Superintendent
of Schools Dr. William H. Maxwell had visited
the playground conference, AM he took advantage
of the opportunity to suggest that large amount
Of noise might be eliminated from the Fairgrounds
II the victors in a game were not allowed to eN-
press their JOY in screams And such eXultatloh
over the yanqushed, ne added, was neither eth-
cally good nor yet sportsmanlike. To ms view
John II. Walsh, Associate city superintendent
took exception. To his mind such meat seemed
much too strong for babes
Whether it is right wrong to exnlt over a
fallen foe" he said. small boys at bsh game
must sometimes he allowed TO demand the mme-
diate slaughter of the umpire
DR. Maxwell also said that with six hundred
thousand children the rolls OF the public schools

much more than I2.l0 the daily average last
week He has written the Commissioner o.
Police. asking that the policemen may be instructed
to direct any children they may see 10 the play
grounds il they seem 10 have nothing either useful
or innocently agreeable to do, but up 10 the time
of the conference he had received no reply.
After the speechmaking came the usual rehearsal
of the games to be given to the children next week
ana then the guests were shown through the vari
Gus vacation cassrooms by the principal MISS
Sara Hatch The children exhibited their work
and showed great willingness to part with baskets
and other articles they had made that they might
be given to the visitors souvenirs In IN"

making on her head and DR.. Maxwell remarked
on the absence Of the tashiohape lfaeupdShe'

Door for the Chicken Run.

The small door opening on the
chicken run. and for the use of the
fowls only. may be arranged to open
and close from the front without the
necessity of going inside the house
TO make this possible the door
should be put in so as to slide easily
up and down. Through the top OF
the door fasten a strong wire, termi-
mating with weight, the wire run
ming straight up and over small iron
pulley which is fastened in the crling
directly over the door The wi~e is
then carried across the ceiling and
down (possibly over another pulley,
depending on the height of the cell
ing), coming out through hole bored
in the front of the building near the
large door Tor wherever is most con
venient) and where the end is finished
with a wooden button.
To open the door pun the wire out
then down to the full length of the
wire. and slip it under couple OF
nails farther down on the outside Of
the building. To close IT remove the
button from its lower fastening and
allow it to slide back to the place o.
exit. and the weight fastened over the
little door will carry it down 70 posi-
tion.-M. Z. s. Hymers.
