BRONCOS NEARLY
BROKE THEIR
BACKS
PRACTICAL JOKER MADE THE
ANIMALS KICK AND JUMP
IN CONTEST

Yesterday afternoon during the
broncho busting feats on the street
west of the armory, someone with
a fund of mischief that seemed to need
a vent, turned loose among the horses
with bottle of bisulphide of carbon,
to the wonderment and distress of the
animals and the eonvulsive amuse-
ment Of the spectators. The broncs
lifted their heads in amazement and
tseir heels in rebellion, and one, rath-
er more ambitious than the others,
took off toward the lot where the car
nlyal is established, dashing through
the tent nearest Douglas avenue and
scattering the dear little barking sau-
saees and the hamburger and the buns
a2I the counter and the waiter clear
from Dan to Bersheba.
Ir the flight OF the excited animal
several baby buggies were upset and
a little boy went down, seemingly be-
meath the horses hoofs, but no dam
age was done.
On Douglas avenue near the armory,
the carnival lot and down Eleventh
street, stretched the crowd of specta-
tors, all thoroughly enthused, to wit
ness the sports. A broncho that had
never left leather opened the festivi-
ties, and performed few stunts of an
aerial nature. 1t climbed the atmo-
sphere, then burrowed into the ground
after the fashion of the most APPROX
ed aeroplanes, and finally dashed off
across Douglas avenue, humping a
hay rack and cutting in between it
and a bull tied to the rear, breaking
the rope and mildly startling the boz
vine prize winner. 1t brought UP in
the vacant lot next the Presbyterian
church. Other trials of the same sort
followed, and the events of the after
noon concluded with several races.
| The sports, the winners, and the
prizes, were as follows:
Broncho busting, won by Manuel
Hays, prize $40; second, Juan Lucero,
lprize IS.
Two hundred yard dash. won by
Demacio Quintana, prize $5, second,
Julian Sena, prize 50.
Two hundred and fifty yard dash,
won by G. w. Woody, prize $5; sec
ond, Juan Madrid, prize So.
Three hundred yard dash, won by
ramacio Quintana, prize 81; second.
A. Madrid, prize SO.
During the athletic events. entrants
were busy in the armory taking down
their exhibits, and when the tables
had been emptied and torn down, many
hands went to work to clear the floor
and prepare for the hard times dance
in the evening. When evening came
the floor was in excellent condition,
and the only thing that indicated hard
times throughout the entire evening
was the name of the dance. The at
tendance was large, exceptionally so,
and the floor was comfortably filled
for every dance
The list Of winners In the fair is not
yet complete, many of the contestants
having failed to claim their prizes. AS
soon as the names of all the winners
are in, the list will be published in
The Optic. This probably will be in
tomorrow's paper.

Ella Frances Lynch wrote con-

from the $500 prize letter written in
answer to this series.
Where is the blame? Ask the first

the grammar school teacher and she
will say that it is the first year of the

the college-but why continue? All
remind me of Thomas Nasts famous
cartoon of the Tweed ring where
every man standing in the circle has
his right hand pointing to the next
man with the words underneath,
who's to blame?"
1t is easy enough to get school
ing. Just go to school; that's all.
You will find plenty of books. fine
buildings and printed courses. But
whether these things constitute an
education or not is a difficult matter.
The education process has been turn

manual training takes the place OF

ing that the education process is con-
tinuous.
Some school men are awake to the
need for change. More than one
would meet his professional grave
yard il he proposed the radical
changes recommended by Miss Lynch.
Many are ready to press forward, but
the chairman of the school board is
an aspirant for higher honors, and so
it goes. The school is little factory
with many machine hands and pet
of specialties. Some meas
ure their products in dollars and
cents. Some dote on the ratio of per
capita cost of instruction to the
amount of coal burned.
But the majority of people cannot
be thinking much about education or
else they would earnestly seek for
that school of tomorrow where the
teacher will be a master craftsman
an artist and not machine hand One
who will take precious human clay

shapes rather than dump it into a
common mold between the levers of
tradition and uniformity. One who
will think of the child of tomorrow

body; intelligent and sympathetic in

of education is the development of
human wealth.
