Industrial Education.

The Commissioner also says:
over all the world the demand for in

growing. In our own country teachers
and laymen In urban and rural commu-
mites alike are demanding that the
schools shall do something TO prepare the
masses of boys and girls for effective
service in some industrial occupation, fit

their part 10 the commonwealth How
this shall be done and in what kind of
schools no one seems to know certainly

Health of Children.

Twenty million children and young
people in the United States spend good

The indoor sedentary life required by the
work and discipline Of the school Is more

the school work is done are intelliSently

SAYS AMERICANS
EXCEL BRITISH

Owen Moran, the British fighter who
defeated Battling Nelson. declares that
American fighters are the best in the
world. He said:
Il am an accident. have learned a
whole lot about the fight game since
coming to America and my fight with
Nelson was worth all my precious ring
experience. In addition to this / have
watched many other matches here and
for cleverness one must hand it to the
Yankees, as you say over here. The
English fighters are just as game as
the Americans, bit they lack the
speed and general ring cleverness.
Battling Nelson gave me a hard
battle and he was fighting every inch
of the way to the very last Anyone
who thinks Nelson is out of the run
ming is grandly mistaken. He has a
lot of fight left in him. / am looking
forward with great pleasure to my
event with AID Wolgast, whom l do
not consider in the same class with
Nelson.
II will take home with me a grand
impression of the fairness Of the
American sporting public. You know
over in England there are many who
think that a real sportman can't be
found outside the British Isles, but I
want to say that the American public
has treated me finely and nobody can
ever tell me again that there is any
thing but squareness in the attitude
Of people over here towards sports
Americans lose hard, but they cheer
fully give credit to the best man."

HOW THE TWO TEAMS WILL
LINE UP IN THE BIG BATTLE
BOTH CUNTS ARE GOING INTO
THE GAME TO WIN-WILL BE A
ScRAPPY CONTEST.
How THEY WILL LINE UP.

The big championship game of bas-
ketball will be called at SIS tonight
at the A. C. armory between the Far
go college five and the North Dakota
Agricultural college quintette. The
contest will be for the intercollegiate
championship Of the state and it
promises TO be one of the fastest in
door pill battles that has been played
in the city this season.
Both auints have been working hard
during the last two weeks, getting
ready for the big battle. Bear stories
have been sent out from each camp
during the last few days although each
team has been sending out big scares,
little faith has been put in these buga-
boo tales.
The coaches and captains of the
opposing aggregations have all an
nounced that their men were going in
to the game with determination to
win. The individual calibre of each
man on the rival tossing team is
known to be of the fighting type and
the contest will no doubt be battle
royal from the first toss of the ball.
1t is predicted that the largest
crowd to ever witness a basketball
game in the city, will be out tonight
to see the two rivals battle. Although
the A. c. armory has large seating
capacity, from the enormous crowd
which filled the large room last week,
1t is evident that the fans will more
than fill the auditorium this even
ing
