Why The nodsTn boy
Enjoys Ills School Life

There is growing up steadily In
creasing appreciation OF the value or
the broader development and the boz
lief that age should take an interest
In the sports OF youth. that In fact
age Itself should carry on certain
sports suited TO the years. even to the
end OF life. This breadth of view
is bringing up a better race and a
happier one. Schools, which In the
old days were more or less dreaded.
are now loved by the boys. Where
In the old times the only fun a boy
had In school was through infraction
OF the rules. there has come new
light.
How has this whole scheme been
changed and made over with such de-
sirable results? II has come about
through the wisdom OF the educators
who in the last twenty-five years have
become keenly alive to the fact that
the boy Is a many-sided little animal
which nature meant should develop
I'm all directions and that to disregard
his physical for his mental side was
a serious mistake. Thus there have
grown up the big playing fields which
are now an adjunct to every hrst
class school--Walter Camp, In the
Outing MAGAZINE for March.

GENERAL DECLINE
 IN COTTON PRICES Selling Is Aggressive in 8
 Nervous Market CROP NEWS IS BEARISH Crop Estimates Are Larger Than Usual and in Spite of Support Given
 By Bulls Prices Turn
 Downward
CROP NEWS IS BEARIsE

New York, November 14-The cotton market was not particularly active today, but ruled very nervous with prices work ing lower under scattered realizing and more aggressive selling which appeared to be encouraged by larger estimates of the crop, predictions of bearish ginning re- port, and increasing receipts. The close was barely steady at a net decline of 1 to 19 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance Of 2 points on November, which was influenced by a little covering at a decline of 6 to points on later deliveries, which responded to somewhat disappolnt- ing cables and selling on reports that the crop estimate of members of the Mem phis Cotton Exchange placed the proba- ble yield at 12419.1z2 bales. There was considerable covering by sellers of last week and support from southern bull leaders on a scale down, but Memphis was seller here on rumors that prelmi- nary reports to the National Ginhers in- dicated large ginning to the close of business on November F, and prices gradually worked off to a net loss of about IS to B points. From this level there was a rally of or points on cov- ering and further support from the ',ull leaders, but the market continued ner- vous, and last prices were not far from tho lowest on the more active positions.
 Possibly part of the selling was in- spired by a report that prominent southern crop expert, after Investigating the extent of the damage of the freeze late in October had reaffirmed a previous crop estimate of 100000 bales, and there was some talk of renewed short time among Fall River mills. On the other hand, trade advices from Liverpool were bullish, one private cable being received to the effect that Manchester was on the eve of a boom, and another, stating that Bavarian spinners were getting under contract a year ahead.
 Southern spot markets, officially re- ported early, were generally unchanged except Savannah, which was 5-l6c down from last Friday.
 The census report on ginning will be issued next Monday morning. Receipts of cotton at the ports today, 61,163 bales against 54.72S last week and 45,s22 last year. For the week, 850,0o0 bales against S76, sos last week and 277.066 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans, 16.e11 bales, against 7So4 last year, and at Hous- ton, 27.6O9 bales, against 1S.726 last year.

WHEAT ADVANCES ON
 GENERAL SUPPORT
Market Is Restless and Sellers
 Are Very Active
SHIPMENTS ARE HEAVY
Corn Becomes Firm in Sympathy With Wheat and Slight Gain Is Made. Oats and Provisions Also
 Advance n Little

Chicago, November 14.-Indications of a strong arm under the market had a more powerful effect in the wheat pit today than open selling by the interests that have led the buying for more than a week. The close was at a net gain of AG15c to %o. Corn and oats ended the session at tho same figures as Saturday. or with an advance not exceeding Mc, For provisions the latest trading showed increased cost. running from 5Q71ho to 15c.
 There was a restless feeling in wheat all day, with tendency to follow do- mestic bull news, especially during the last hour. Duluth exports and Minneapo- lis and Kansas City milling purchases afforded much help in the hoisting of quo tations. Rains hampering the Argen- tine harvest were also against the bears. Another source Of strength was the fact that considerable wheat was being taken here for shipment before the close of lake navigation. Some emphasis was laid, too, on the dry weather in the southwest. Profit taking on the sales led to several reactions, but the days developments were by no means wholly one-sided. World shipments loomed big and huge increases were shown in the visible supply of both Canada and the OI1leQ states. NeVeflI1elesS, every 9eI- back proved only temporary. May ranged from s514@96ssc and closed steady at s6l4c, a net advance of 1z@4sc.
 Corn hardened with wheat because of predictions of snow. On the other hand, consignmerts were undeniably on the in- crease. May kept between 47%9c and 4Sc, closing 1so up at 47h@4sc. Cash corn was steady to Ao lower for old and lho down for new. No. 2 yellow finished at 511ad52c.
 The fact that shipments from primary points generously overtopped receipts held up the price of oats. Pit trading was light. May fuctuated from 841sG84Ac to 34sso, and closed the same as Saturday, s414G84sso.
 Hog products were offered only spar
 ngly, and prices rose in response to bids by local commission men and packer. In the end pork stood 10c to 15o higher; lard, 5@71tc up to 121sc decline; and there was a 3ain of 71a@10c to 121sc in ribs.
