New York, Dec. 17.-Although box

erncd by commission in the states Of
Wisconsin, Montana and New York.
there is no agreement between the
state commissions to uphold the rul-
ings of individual commissions. Such
an agreement is now being considered
and it is possible that the New York

many QUESTIONS
TO Be TAKEN Up
New Migration Rule Prob
ably Will be Drawn-May
Admit Other Schools.

r. II. Chandler will leave Friday.
January 2, for ST. Paul. where the
following day he will attend a meet
Ing of the Minnesota-Dakota Inter-
collegiate Athletic conference. The
meeting will be at the Ryan hotel and
will be the fifth annual session of the
conference.
The meeting will be for the most
part informal and the program in
cludes talks on various questions now
facing the conference. An invitation
to join the National Collegiate asso-
citation will be acted upon, following
q ak on that subject by +. B. Hill
OF Carleton. n the date and place
of the 1914 conference track meet
will be fixed.
Twelve amendments to existing
rules of the conference will be dis
cussed n voted upon at the meet
ing. The executive committee of the
conference has sent out a list of the
questions To be discussed, with in
structions that each delegate be ready
To come to n final decision at the meet
ing.
Among the important changes is a
proposed rule to bar preparatory COL
iese students from participation on
college cams 3. Heretofore the rule al
lowed. II year Of participation by
preparatory athletes in schools where
both college and preparatory work
were carried.
New Migration Rule Up.
Another important change is the
rule regarding migration Of athletes
proposed change would bar an athlete
who has been on the team of one
college and moves to another school,
from that n branch of sport at the
second college for one complete sea-
son. Thus a man could play base
ball at n college In the spring and.
while he would be eligible to football
at a second college the next fall, he
would still DO Ineligible t baseball
at the second college the following
spring.
The rule barring athletes who have
competed under assumed names in
any athletic contest may be made
even more strict. The entire barring
an athlete from participation who
is under q contract with any base
ball team under national agreement
may be abolished II one of the sug-
gestions IL carried out. A definite
date will be fixed for the exchange
Of eligibility lists between colleges.
A suggestion to change the date Of
registration for spring contests from
February 10 to February Is has also
been suggested.
In the past the eligibility rules Of
the conference allowed each college
to decide whether a student athlete
shall be passing in all or in only a
certain percentage Of his studies. The
question Of the justification of allow
ing an athlete to compete who is at
all below grade will be threshed out.
1t is also believed that certain sub
tects which are not regularly includ-
ed in courses that lead to degrees
will he tabooed as far as giving an
athlete eligibility standing is concern
ed. Studies designated are CONNER
cial subjects, music, %elocution, etc.
May Admit Minor Schools.
1t is probable that a fixed form Of
contracts to be exchanged between
colleges in the arrangement of con-
tests will be drawn up and adopted by
the conference. A proposal to include
minor colleges. normals, ETC., in the
conference and allow them a sort of

SENSIBLE SEX EDUCATION.

Des Moines has put good example
before other schools by introducing sex
hygiene as a part of the curriculum of
her high school. The study, however.
win not follow the lines advocated by
a woman prominent in the state by
reason of her husbands official posi-
ton but will consist Of lectures TO be
given by woman TO the girls and by
medical expert to the boys. The
fathers and mothers will be requested
the upper grades will be admitted.
1t is a very sensible thing TO do in
every school. There isn't town in the
state where some Of the most prori-
nent and well qualified physicians
would be glad to give their services to
such purpose. There is no doubt
that they would do SO gratis tho there
is no good reason why the community
shouldn't pay them as it would pay
stone masion for fixing the chimney or
plumber for mending a water pipe.
A considerable part of the direful
consequences which are no longer Sc
cret in a general way arise out of ig-
norance. We are coming 20 a rever-
sion from that pru6shness which is
another name for criminal carelessness
and beginning 10 teach our childsen
something of the most important OF all
lessons that are 10 be learned By
teaching or if not thus by bitter ex-
perience.
1t is good plan. Such teaching can
not fail to make itself felt. And in the
long run there is only one absolute
way to combat an evil-by education.
Inru the teaching In the public schools
OF the effects Of alcohol has come
much Of the prevalent sentiment, and
conclusion against the liquor traffic
and the use OF such beverages. We
need to raise the fortifca,;on of COM
pleter knowledge between our children
and other vices which exist TO a very
considerable degree by the ignorance
OF those whom they destroy.

not want the noise necessary to make
them mind on the Sabbath. So he at

beneath the dignity of boy in those

remember the discussion we undertook

the handling of a leather strap, which
was always convenient with him, for
he was a harnessmaker.

EARNING PAVING COST.
[Waterloo Times-Tribune. I


Some property owners seem to be
OF mind that once they have paid for
street paving. they should pay no
more. The law intends that city's
streets shall be passable: 1t contends
that there is added value to real
estate when the streets are properly
improved. Therefore the streets are
paved at the expense of the property
owners. Some would prefer payment
for paving be made by general taxa
ton. But 1t all amounts to the same
thing. Each year paving is extended
and some day all property will be i'm.
proved. The difference is. the pres
ent methods postpone the day Of pay
ment until the improvement is made
on a particular piece OF property. II
paving would be paid for out OF a
general tax fund every property
owner in the city would want his
street improved first. It Is not diff
cult TO understand the complications
that would arise from this.
Paving will wear out. It can not
last forever. Property owners do not
expect their buildings or their side
walks to last forever. A pavement
that has served twenty years, or SO, has
paid for itself. II it costs the aver
age property owner 5000. that is only
$40 per year. Will anyone say 1t is
not worth it? Who would have dust
and mud in front Of a store or resi-
dence rather than pay this sum? That
is figuring merely from the conven-
fence side. But, from that side OF it.

up for what he paid for it?
