ATHLETICS

The football game with salina
last Friday was not entirely salts
factory to Abilene because men con-
nected with Saiina high school Of
flciated. Time and again the A. II.
s. team ploughed through to It's To-
yard line only to be penalized when
a touchdown was within reach, for
some foul which. In their opinion,
they had not committed. Even the
salina rooters were forced to ack-
nowledge that Abilene outclassed
them and that some Of the umpire's
rulings were doubtful. The students
Of A. II. s. without an exception
are confident that the Abilene team
would carry off the big end OF the
score under other conditions.
Prof. French wrote q letter 10
Mr.. Edwards, the Salina coach, OBJ
jecting to the umpiring and chal-
longing them to a return game. In
replying Mr.. Edwards apologized
and said he would like to meet Abb
lene again but that their schedule
was full. Prof. French has now
challenged them to a cross-country
run to be held sometime near
Thanksgiving. The exact date and
length of the run have not been
definitely filed as no answer has
yet been received from Salina.
The football team has had to do
all its practicing and to play all
its home games on a sandburr patch
al the fair grounds, 1t is deplorable
that the high school grounds are
not large enough for this purpose.

10 Form PArent-Teacher Association

TO Form Parent-TeAchcr Association
Next Tuesday evening. November
y. at 1890 o'clock q mass meeting
will be held in the high school aud
itorium for the purpose OF forming
a Parent-Teacher association. Not
only the parents Of all the school
children In Abilene but also those
IL terested in public welfare are ex-
pected and invited to attend. Miss
McLatchey will sing; enough said.
There has been a great deal OF
discussion in the last year or so OF
havin gsome form OF an organiza-
ton to promote a feeling of inter
est on the part OF the parents In
the work that is being done for
their children and by their chill
dren. The women's clubs OF the
city and the teachers have been &C
tive in this matter and the result Is
the coming meeting.
This association will put the par
ents and teachers on an equal foot
ing and will help them to come to n
better understanding. The parents
will be given an insight into the
workings of the schools and the
teachers will explain to them any
thing they do not understand. The
~.ohIoros now confronting the edu-
cational system will be freely dis
cussed.
Many of the fathers and mothers
take no interest in the schools and
do not realize the necessity of new
buildings and new equipment nor
the imperative need Of gymnasium.
The new association will bring these
facts home to them and will be a
great asset to the community II the
people will lend their support.

Editorial Comment

The high school needs more room.
AS II is. chapel is crowded, the study
hall is crowded, the class rooms are
crowded, the halls are crowded.. and,
in fact. the whole building is crowd
ed. Glass rooms that were intended
for twenty-five students must seat
tbirty-five. At certain hours during
the day chapel must be used as the
study hall because the study hall
is far too small to seat all those
who study at those hours. This is,
a most unhandy arrangement since
the chapel chairs are not desks. Good
work cannot be done under such
circumstances.
The enrolment this year has al
most reached the three hundred,
mark. So what does that meant
That means that building built
for two hundred students must do
for three hundred. There are stu
dents here from all over the coun-
ty. The school is growing every
year. Under favorable conditions Il
would grow still more. The only
way to make it grow is to give 1t
more room. That means a larger
building and larger field of study.

PARENT.TEACHER ASSOCIATION
The Object and Five Reasons fol
Such an Organization

The object of q Parent-Teache
association is to study the best edu
cational principles and methods, L
consider the problems of the schoo
and the home, to bring about bet
ter mutual understanding Of thu
school and the homo, to bring abou
O better mutual understanding be
tween the parents and the teecher
and to further their cooperation.
Here are five reasons for a Par
len t-Teacher association:
I. Home and a school are the
two great agencies in the education
OF the child; their aims are identi-
cal and neither can work effective
ly in the ignorance Of the other.
q. Certain problems arise in the
school which the teachers should
rot be obliged to decide. Where
Parent-T Teacher organizations exist
the responsibility is readily placed
upon the parent.
8. A child's loyalty to the school
is almost invariably product OF
home understanding.
4. A fixed and regular date Of
meeting is saving Of time for both
parent and teacher. The latter can
present any problem or any point
as quickly to fifty parents as one.
The former can be sure Of getting
the desired results.
s. The relation of the child to
the school work is fully realized
only in the home; the teacher who
has NO point with the home loses
the best opportunity of testing the
value of her work.
All parents of children are urged
t. come to the mass meeting Tues
day evening in the high school
auditorium at 1880, November 2.

COMMISSIONERS TALK OF

commissioners next week the mat

then be managed systematically

S7Dw YORK, February 1S.-tSpe- ciaL)-Ever see one of these
 vaudeville acts wherein one
 member of the team will do

 Often the stranger arrives and is filled with. a desire to laugh at silly old New York for the things done here But be- fore the echoes of such laughter have died away, the one who latfghs is lined up with the throng, doing the same things he thought so silly of other people.
 It may be in the matter of dress, the use of certain phrases. that are gener- ally accepted, or in the adoption of cer- tain little customs peculiar to Broadway or some other section-whatever it is New York will "get you doing it. too unless you make strong fight against falling Into line. But the majority of people like nothing better than to fall into such hisbits which seem to bear T sort of metropolitan stamp.

 It is a common sight to see men Iridely pushing women aside in order to get on a train ahead of them.
