FARMER or a cook. Do our coursas
meet this demand? Are our pupi,s
skilled or are' they full of facts and

Then the following suggestion is
oHered to make more vital our
course of study. If the teacher is
OF prime Importance we want \
course that will require better skill
ed teachers. If any teacher can tell
you two and two are four, then we
want one that is capable OF putting
this fact to USE. IF any teacher can
ten an oak tree from pine. then
we want one that can tell the differ
ent habits and uses of these trees
as well as knowing them apart. and
so on. When shall we have better
teachers? When our work demands
them
Again. to make our course more
vital, we must adopt more real
vocational studies, and make more
vocational our present studies. WHY
| not learn to write a sales-letter. an
advertisement, and write to a real
business man instead OF an imagi-
nray person? Just .ss IN this, the
other studies may e.taught more
than they are from a vocational
standpoint. We often find boy
turning his attention to the work
ings OF eleetricity, simply from the
few facts gained from elementary
physics. Why not offer more sub
iscts that bsar directly upon mans

IRISH CHAMPION WINS.

The opening westling bout of the
First Regiment Athletic Association
last Tuesday evening between Pat
Connolly, the British Isles cham
pion, and Yankee Rogers, the cham
pion of New England, proved to be
the fastest held here since wrestling
was revived. although both men
were over 200 pounds in weight,
Connolly weighing EOS and Rogers
225. Heretofore the tactics between
the large men have consisted of
many attempts at toe holds, which
do not furnish enough action, but
Connolly and Rogers were busy every
second, and although both were
guilty of foul tactics many pin-head
spectators hooted and Kissed Con-
molly alone, possibly because he was
an Irishman, and this class delights
in insulting an Irishman behind his
back or in the dark. However, Con-
molly won in two straight falls, and
many critics believe that Manager
Buechel could stage a great drawing
card by matching him with Hussane.

WILL GET BUSY.

With the large attendance and
interest manifested at Friday nights
meeting of the Central Committee,
ii was evident that old-time interest
was awakening in the local ranks of
the Catholic knights of America
and that all the branches will soon
be busy with organization work.
President Ben Kruse occupied the
chair and the reports OF Secretary
Henry Schulten and Treasurer
Charles Falk were cause for en-
thusiasm. The committee decided
TO lend it's assistance toward the
Kentucky exhibit at the Panama
Exposition and the building for that
purpose. Gen. Michael Reichert de-
livered an address that stirred the
delegates and brought assurances OF
assistance from the State officers
who were present. He also an
announced that next year the Uni
form Rank of Kentucky and Indiana
would have an encampment. Capt.
Oscar Maier announced that the
Catholic Knights directory would
soon be in the hands of the printer
and ready for distribution early In
the new year. President Kruse
called attention to the annual cleo
tion OF officers, 10 be held at the
December meeting. which should
