Homer, a small son OF Mr., T..
N. Durham, who lives near
Pickens, was seriously hurt last
Thursday. It seems that the
young fellow was trying to
shoot a stump and fire got to
the powder before he knew it,
the explosion burning his face
badly and setting his clothing
on.fre. A smaller brother suc-
eeeded in extinguishing the fire
which was burning his clothing.
It is feared that the sight of
both eyes is permanently in
iured if not entirely gone. We
trust the injuries are not as Sc
rious as thought.

DANGERS OF ATHLETICS.

Inasmuch as the fundamental aim OF
athletics IS, or at any rate ought to be.
health, It IS not unreasonable to ask in
what degree each type of game or
sport approaches this ideal of contrib
uting TO a sound body and the enjoy
ment OF its physical resources. II viii,
probably be found difficult TO compare
the health-giving virtues OF tennis and
cricket, OF skating and basketball, of
rowing and tug-of-war. The factors
OF enjoyment OF the special participa-
ton OF definite organs OF the body, OF
opportunity. season. environment, etc,
are too complicated TO permit very
critical analysis. But DR.. Bartsch OF
Heidelberg has wisely suggested that
il may become feasible to correlate the
dangers attending the various athletic
sports and TO furnish a sort of scale"
whereby one could determine tile
relative likelihood of damage or in
jury to be encountered in the promi-
nent athletic pastimes. This is not
unlike the condition In Industrial oc-
equations. for many of which the Incl
dence of accident and harm is known.
II the statistics of accidents in athlet-
les. and the personal harm known to
result all too often, could be gathered
in some way for purposes of public
contrast. the physician and physical
culture teacher could advise more in
diligently regarding the desirability of
participation. We believe, however,
says The Journal of the American
Medical association, that the greatest
advantage OF this suggestion would
lie in the reforms which the facts thus
ELECTED would inevitably promote. A
few well-attested data regarding the
undoubted dangers OF crew races. OF
football and some other much-vaunted
sports might serve to direct public at
tention TO the abuses Of athleatics. The
promoters are then usually quick to re-
spOnd.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER
CONGRESSMAN from the Fourteenth o istriet

I ed in both cases. The objection Is
that when states attempt to prohibit
child labor singly there are sure to be
great Determinations in business
against the states which are pioneers
in this movement
4 general federal law would end
this objection. 1t would put all states
on the same footing at once.
The Palmer Owen bill is regarded as
an admirable one by the leaders in the
movement to abolish child labor. In
many respects the law simply applies
nationally the restrictions which many
states have already adopted. In ordi-
nary manufacturing occupations the
bill prohibits the employment of chill
dren under IA years of age. Forty
states have similar laws. 1t prohibits
the employment of children under 16
years OF age in mines and quarries.
Fifteen states have a similar prohibit
ton.
1t prohibits the employment of chill
dren for more than eight hours a day.
Eighteen leading industrial states have
taken this position. 1t prohibits night
work for children. So do 33 states.
State by state legislation does not
solve what is now generally conceded
to be an evil. In testifying before the
senate committee Mrs. Florence Kelly,
of the Consumers league, said:
at is over 80 years since l enlisted
in the effort to get better legislation
for the protection of children. l be-
lieve there are more children under Is
years old working today in dangerous
occupations than there were when l
began, because our manufacturing in
dustries have increased stupendously
and our state legislation has halted.
There has been no unity in our pro-
gress."

Real Industrial training that pre-
pares for real jobs is described in a
bulletin on the cooperative plan at
Fftchburg, Mass, issued by the United
States bureau of education. Boys in
the Fitchburg high school. who attend
alternate weeks in school and shop,
are made to feel that their vocational
training is serious business. Here are
some OF the directions given to each
coop" student when he starts as an
apprentice.
Remember that the object of work
is production. Your foreman meas
ures you by the quantity and quality
of your work. Social position does not
enter. In the shop you are not a high
school boy, you are az apprentice.
Wear clothes accordingly. II you get
the mistaken idea that any work given
you is beneath the dignity of a high
school boy. just remember you are an
apprentice and get 100 per cent busy.
1T IS your business to get along
smoothly with the workmen and fore
man; and theirs TO get along with
you.
do not expect any personal atten-
ton from the superintendent. He will
probably ignore you entirely, but he
knows whether or not you are making
good. and in most cases. his idea OF
you depends upon your ability to
please your foreman. Don't be kick

has accomplished more in the accumu-
lation OF wealth.
Mr.. weyerhaeuser had no hobbies
beyond his business affairs. They were
alI-sunicient TO him. He cared not at
all for the luxuries TO which his wealth
gave him access. The simple, frugal,
industrious habits OF his early life he
kept with him TO the end and they
were the chief sources OF his physical
and mental strength.
Nor did the possession OF riches af-
feet him in his relations with his fell
lows. He was always approachable,
and he judged men by what they were
rather than by the clothes they wore
or the size OF their bank accounts.

the bill out with a favorable report
Should this measure get before the
house the country will see what
weight can be put on the oft repeated
charge that the democrats will do moth
ing to prevent child labor because OF
the members from the south where
children are employed in the cotton
mills.
The indication are. however. that if
the house, with its southern demo-
Gratis, ever gets a whack at the insti-
tuition OF child labor It will adopt a
prohibiting bill with a whoop. Most
OF the southerners do not contend that
they cannot compete with northern
cotton mills when adults are employ:

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS IN THE SHOPS

er and don't continually bother your
foreman for higher wages.
Never try to conceal defective
work. Take your full measure of
blame, and do not make the same mis-
take twice
Watch, in a quiet way, what things
be afraid to ask sensible questions. a
good rue is to think over a question
twice before asking. A reputation for
having horse sense means that you
are making good.
"Foremen and workmen will take
pleasure in showing you, if you show
yourself genuinely appreciative of lit
tie attentions. If they tell you some
thing you already know, don't spoil
already know, but let it be impressed
on your mind all the deeper; for the
conversation may lead TO something
which is entirely new to you.
1.-The fool act of one coop hurts ev-
cry coop. See that your actions in
and out of the shop do not bring dis
credit on the coop course"
Representatives of the United States
bureau OF education and others who
have observed the work say that the
spirit of these directions is carried out
everywhere in the Fitchburg plan. Vo-
cational training of the Fitchburg type
is an opportunity for worthwhile
work. not an easy way of lodging the
grind of academic studies.

The Ones We Cannot Please.
The robin that sings in the morning glow
a song IS full OF glee
May be fretting some sad soul here be-
low
With the song that is sweet to me:
The roisterer who. care free. last night
Went revelins late and long,
May rail at the robin that gives delight
To me with his matin song.
But little, I think. does the robin care
For the hate of the one who lies
With heavy heart on his bed up there
And rubs at his bIoodshot eyes.
And why should you, as you strive away,
Be chilled by the sneering few?
We can't please all with the things we
say
Or the things that we sing or do.
