Strangely enough it was just sufficient
TO buy a couple of rifles and enough
ammunition for the term. There being
no ruling to prevent it, that was
what was done. When, later, more
money was needed, more money
was found in exactly the same way.
Nobody ever asked for it. Officially, Il

But that was only the beginning of
the trouble in store for the Tech girls.

home, they at times also made a tea
of the leaves 1t is not recorded that
the American Indians made any me-
dicinal use of the berries. but all the
tribes well understood the properties
of the brew which they made from
the leaves.
There are some large holly trees in

The proviso concerning rife and am

IT was necessitated by difficulty
which even yet remains to be overcome.
1t is perfectly legitimate. it seems. for
the schools to supply the boys with
rifles and cartridges for target practice.

They are very confident they viii win.
Then they expect to issue sweeping

- In equipment. too. Western has gone
farther than her rivals. The girls already
have nine rifles. and they expect several

means will be devised until it is hoped
there will be one rifle for at least every
two girls.
Western is very frank about how it gets
its rifles 1t is buying them with money
from the athletic association. They have
taken the stand that rifle shooting, those
locally in charge of school funds to the
contrary Notwithstanding. is a bona f1de
sport and such is entitled to funds
appropriated for sports. They intend to
battle the thing out before the proper au-
thorites, and. with the support of all
the other schools lthe girls of Eastern
have not yet taken up rifle shooting. but
they undoubtedly wild, are sanguine of
winning their point. Failing in this. a de-
termined and concerted effort will be
made to have craftsmanship made regu-
lar part of the high school girls curric
ulum. Naturally. like military drill, it
would he optional but the question Of
finance will be laid forever.
The Western girls. like those of Bust
ness. do their practicing with the boys.
Prof. George r. Dewitt. to whom the
range is familiar as the classroom.
coaches them and declares he has the nu-
cleus for team of wonders. Again, like
the girls of Business. the feminine marks
men Of Western have a chaperon. There.
however. the similarity ends. Miss Bald
win. at Business, is herself marks
woman. Miss Mary Wallace. who chap
erons the Western girls. on the other
hand, has never fired a rifle in her life,
and, until few weeks ago. never even
had one in her hands. She frankly ad-
mits she is afraid of them.
Her charges declare. however. that her
fear visibly diminishes with each prac-
tice day, and it would surprise no one if
before very long she. too. begins to peg
away at the mark. for everybody knows
there is a vague. indefinable something
about watching other people shoot which
invariably makes YOU want to try 1t
yourself.
