EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS

The scope of the work of our public
schools has certainly been charging
rapidly. Where at first it was practi-
cally limited to the training of the
mind, it has come to include manual
training, domestic science and physical
development, and today the school has
begun to make it's influence felt as a
social center.
Superintendent Mathis who is
abreast of the times is endeavoring ill
every reasonable way within his power
to make the school an elervating force
in the whole community.
There is one direction especially in
which most earnest effort is being
made, and it is movement that is
growing in farce every day. We refer
to the work that is being done towards
increasing an aesthetic appreciation
amongst school-children. 1t is seen in
the beautiful architecture of the best
modern school houses, in the careful
tinting of the school walls, that were
formerly white and bare, and in the
placing of fine reproductions of the
masterpieces or art in the corridors
and classrooms.
1t has gone further than this in many
places, where at least once in every
year. in a school hall or in some other
available place, a fine collection Of
works of art has been exhibited, not
only for the benefit of the teachers and
pupils themselves, but to bring togeth-
er the whole community affiliated with
the schools under conditions that have
teen helpful socially and educational
Such an exhibition has been made
| possible at the high school at an early
date.

The man who makes a success OF
football is the fellow who hits the
line hard" The boy who looks for A
soft place to fall and an easy place to
go never makes name for himself
on the gridiron. And the same thing
is true in the big game of life.
A man who is afraid to tackle the
big things will never achieve big
things. In this day and time, when
competition is sharp and wits are
keen, success is never handed out
on silver waiter. One has to go az
ter it and hit the line hard"
There comes a time in everyone'S
business career when there are two
paths open. One is an easy path, th9
other is the opposite. The man who
can see further than his nose and who
realizes that success usually comes in
the exact ratio that it is sought, VIII

sit idly by watching others attempting
to achieve greatness.

never pay big salaries. The top of the
ladder seems a long ways off some
times but then there are a dozen plac-

them.
The top of the ladder will never be
reached without an effort. 1t takes
man to get there. The world is clam

TAFT, THE CITIZEN

AS a private citizen, former Presi-
dent Taft is distinguishing himself
From the very day when the votes re-
vealed the fact that he had not been
reelected to succeed himself, he has
uttered no complaint. His speeches
after election were filled with philos-
ophy and good humor. He did not be-
come cynical, nor did he attack any of
the candidates who ran against him.
Taking up his home at New Haven
as a lecturer on law at Yale, the fo-
mer President has lived quietly, max
ing no attack of any kind on the Dec
ocratic party or the principles it is
putting into practice. Probably he
feels that the Democrats are having d
hard enough time, without adding u
their burdens The way the cost of
living refuses to come down, although
his opponents promised to bring it
down, might furnish him an excellent
text, but apparently he is loath to
take it.
The former President has said re-
peatedly that the Democratic party
should have it's chance. Others were
not so charitable when he signed the
Payne-Aldrich BILL which was at
tackled long before it was tried out.
1t is characteristic of Mr.. Taft's big
ness that he should consider himself
a citizen of New Haven, and as sucl,
come here to appeal for a new post
office. This may be described as To-
bying," but called by that name or
any other, it is the inalienable right Of
any citizen to ask the government 70
provide proper facilities for the hand
ling of government business in his
own town~
Mr.. Taft has not suffered any by his
defeat. The good that is in a man will
survive such transient reyerses. The
comment in the press shows that M
Taft has been UNNECESSARILY strength
ened by his defeat and bis modest
course of action, his simplicity, and
charity, are winning for him admirers
who will be an asset to him in the
future.-Washingto Post.

4 GREAT MORAL BASEBALL PLAY

The American Magazine has been Oh
fering prizes for letters entitled, THE
Greatest Baseball Play l Ever Saw"
The prize winning stories are publish
ed in the September number. The fol-
lowing story written by w. j. Lamp
ton, is the winner of the first prize. 1t
is an account of a thrilling game in
which player was tempted to cheat,
but resisted temptation.
THE greatest baseball play / ever
saw occurred in the autumn of 1859
that year when the famous Red Stock
ings of Cincinnati played every leading
club from Maine to California without
losing a game and tying once (17 to
I'D with the Haymakers of Troy, New
York, a club which it had previously
defeated. Out of 81 games played, the
Reds won Sc and tied one In these
games they scored 1896 runs to ga by
their opponents, and of these runs
George Wright, the great short-stop,
made 339, SO of them being home runs.
However,, to the story. l was a boy
in those days at Portsmout, Ohio, and
we had a club which had put it all
over everything in our neighborhood,
as the Red Stockings had put it al.
over the United States, and we were
some proud of our record, just as the
Reds were of theirs. Ours was good
enough for the Reds to take notice,
and they came up the river to play us
after walloping everything else in thu
country. We thought they would lick
us, but it was honor enough to be d :
feated by such players, and we were
not expecting victory. But as the
game progressed we began to think
differently, and when at the ninth in
ming the score stood 81 to SO, as 1 re-
member, in our favor, Portsmouth,
blood began to surge and every back
bone there felt the tinglng of strained
nerves. The Reds showed signs too,
but not as ours were, and we could see
them getting together and passing the
word. They may have thought they
would have fun with Portsmouth when
they came, but they had changed their
minds now. In the ninth they got three
men on bases, but they had two men
out and Portsmouth stock was going
up fast So was the excitement Then
George Wright took the stick and ey
cry Portsmouth heart stood still
Would he, or wouldn't he? He did,
and the ball scared heavenward,
as they did in those days, and
curved down to the weeds in the far
left field We had never thought Il
ball could be knocked that distance
and the weeds had been left to grow.
Our left fielder was Lutte Huddleston,
a fine player and fine fellow, and
Lutte headed for the ball, Wright in
the meantime hitting the bags ali
around and bringing in three men.
Huddleston went down in the weeds
with the ball and everybody though he
had it, all right Portsmouth broke
loose in a crazy bedlam as Lutte came
up out of the truck with the ball in his
hand; the Red Stockings stood be-
twiXt doubt and fear and the umpire
held up his hand to hear from the
fielder, for he alone knew what the
answer was. Portsmouth was scream
ing with JOY and yelling it to their

Song of the Tramp

The perfume of the clover blooms,
The music of the birds,
The ripple of the river,
The lowing of the herds.
The country air to fill my lungs,
The blue sky overhead,
And when at night I'd slumber light
The sweet grass for my bed.
Oh, We who ride in autos,
Forever breaking down,
Oh, We who speed on smoky trains
That whirl from town to town.
Your lot / never envy,
For sweeter and more free
Is my own life-no cares-no strife;
Oh, the hobo life for me!

The Clabbys will wind up their sea-
son on Thanksgiving afternoon when
they will clash in their annual strug-
gle with East Chicago. The game will
be staged at the East Chicago ball
park and on account of the rivalry be-
tween the two squads, a hard fought
and interesting struggle is anticipated.

be the setting of an interesting battle
on Turkey day when the Gary and

clash Both teams have been in hard
