COTTONTAIL RABBITS.
Orchardists and Farmers Object to Damage They Do to Crops.
 Many Hunters Wish Them Protected.

Cottontail rabbits are valuable for food and afford excellent sport for gunners. but. they naturally are re- garded by the farmer with disfavor, owing to the damage they do to truck and other crops and to the bark of growing trees and shrubs. There is, therefore, says Farmers Bulletin 702, E.Cottontail Rabbits in Relation to Trees and Farm Crops, considerable rivalry between sportsnnen and far ners in some sections to have their opposing views reflected in the game laws The interests of the two class es do not seriously differ, however, for as the author. D. E Lantz. assist ant biologist, points out, when rab- bits are closely hunted, losses from their depredations are usually reduced to a minimum. Still there is danger that in years favorable for their in- crease the animals may infiict injury l to trees during severe winters. se CettontaiI rabbits ordinarily pre- fer the succulent foods, such as young | shoots tender garden vegetables clover, alfalfa and fallen ripe fruits
 During summer droughts or when l deep snows cut off their ordinary
 attack the bark of growing trees and shrubs, and may do great damage l in the orchard.
 Rabbits as game are protected. by | close seasons in 20 States, in the Dis trict Of Columbia, and in 6 Canadian 1 Provinces; 28 States, Alaska, and the
 other Canadian Provinces do not pro-
 feet rabbits of any kind In Ken lucky rabbits may be taken by the 1 dog, trap or snare at any time; in Wisconsin $ counties mostly do not protect rabbits; while in California only cotton-tail or bush rabbits are protected. Fortunately for the far
 men, however, in about half the States that have a close season for rabbits the laws permit farmers and fruit growers to destroy the animals to protect crops or trees. Such pro- vision might we'll be incorporated in game laws in all States. For lack of it farmers have sometimes suffered severe losses, and not a few have been compelled to pay fines for try ing to protect their property from rab bits. In States that protect rab- bits it is well for the farmer to be acquainted with the game laws, and in case of doubt to have clear un- derstanding with local and State game wardens before undertaking to destroy rabbits.

SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT AS
 APPLIED TO SCHOOL WORK IS
 ExEMPLIFIED IN GARY PLAN
System Made To Fit Chd's Needs, Rather Than To Fiji Child To System-Vocational Training Is Funda mental of Method Used In Indiana Schools.

James F. Johnson, superintendent of the Bridgeport Trade School, was interviewed this morning. regarding his recent visit of inspection to the schools at Gary, Ind, where he thor oughly examined the famous Gary System To make his examination complete, he spent one day in the Emerson School, which most entirely carries out the ideals of William Wirt the originator of this interesting method.
 MT. Johnson states he was especial ly pleased to find that the main. idea of the Gary system was conducted along the line of vocational guidance, resembling throughout a junior trade school. In all grades, even to the primary, the practical side of the study was represented and the stu dent actually worked part of, the time in the shops under a tradesman as his teacher. This plan is carried on through the upper grades and even into the high school work. Tn each case, it was clearly defined that first hand experiences with trade con nditions or practical shop condi- tions were what was being relied up- on to give the definite touch to the boy's or girls education. #.
 It was explained how in this one building, the Emerson school, were all classes from the Kindergarten through the high school. To ac- cornnodate so many it was necessary to have the gymnasium the play ground and the study room incorpo- rated as part of the curriculum. This brings into play the double school feature, which makes the Gary schools famous.
 The whole system seemed very ffex- IbIe and made to fit the child's needs, rather than have the child fit the sys- tenn. Much freedom was allowed among the pupils and the manner in which they moved about might shock some of our New England school masters.
 Boys from the fourth and firth grades were seen at work in the foundry setting up mou1ds working much the samesas the hardened foun- dry man. other boys and even girls from the sixth, seventh and eighth grades were at work in the print shop, while some boys from these same grades were doing odd jobs in painting and wood work. Tn the ma chine shops were boys from the high school in turn engaged upon trade work.
 While these children were at these branches of work, others were in the swimming pool where they were un- der the charge of an instructor, oth- CTS also were in the gymnasium while some were in the study room also under supervision. The result Of all this was that the whole school was all the time busy and there were no rooms lying idle.

BOXERS AND THE WAR

Grantland Rice, assuming the role of prophet, predicts that few boxers would be found at the front in case Uncle Sam should be involved in war. Old Grant makes this a1lega- ton fafter noting the number of Eng fish pugs now 5000 miles away from either trench life or home defense.'' g What MT. Rice has failed to observe is the fact that while a dozen or so British boxers are now chasing Amer ican dollars, something over 200 of F.ngland's ring professionals are now in the army. Without knowing just what proportion this is of the total, it would still be a safe bet that it is bigger than the enHstTnent from any eral American boxers have enlisted in the British army. and Jack Munroe lost an arm in the trenches.

OSCAR sTANAGE is VALUABLE
Billy Sullivan Ranks Tiger Catcher
Next TO Ray Schalk--is Patient
With His Pitchers.

High-grade praise has come to Os-
car Btanage. Billy Sullivan regards
the Californian as ranking next to Ray
Schalk as the best catcher in the
American league.
Il do not know but that Stanage
is a more valuable man to the Tigers
than Schalk would be-" says Sullivan.
Schalk is a high-strung fellow and he
shows to best advantage with a good
pitching staff. Stanage, on the other
hand, is patient and more likely to
get good work from an uncertain star
than Schalk, next to Eddie Foster of
the Nationals, is the hit and run bat
ter In the American league. Foster
stands at the top because OF his UNI
