MODIFY SYSTEM OF
PAID GRID COACHES
Should Cut Down High Salaries
Rather Than Eliminate Experts.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. u.-When
reforms in intercollegiate football are
mentioned, the first thought is of the
highly paid coaches and assistant
coaches. While 1t Is true that these
men fare well financially. it would be
well to consider their worth before
too strongly condemning them. At
any rate, following a policy of mod
Grafton. It seems that modification
would be a better remedy than COM
plete elimination.
College football. as II has been
played. has been a highly specialized.
scientific game. and it requires no lit
tie intelligence, and, in fact, special
lied knowledge, to teach 1t. OF course,
it may seem far-fetched to pay
coaches salaries ranging from $500
to $4,000 per year for four months
work on the gridiron, but they should
be well paid for their work, as it is
no easy task.
The highly paid coach, however. Is
likely to lose sight of all ideals, and
Of the purpose of athletics, If. indeed.
he ever knew II, in the mad chase
for victory. for in time of victory the
college coach becomes veritable au-
tocrat. This is the objection that is
most mentioned. and a plan has been
suggested whereby athletics will be in
the hands of a committee, to which
the coach and his assistants will be
directly responsible.
Elimination would be an almost inn
possible extreme, as there are few
captains who would venture to at
tempt to teach the intricacies of the
game to their teams, and with a coach
comes the advantage of having an
older man associated with the young
athletes. provided that he meets the
necessary standards. There is nc
doubt but that the influences of such
men must be beneficial to those under
them. and not alone from an athletic
standpoint.

 Mr. Hunt, who was the official pho tographer of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, arrived in Seward a week ago last night on the steamer Ala meda, accompanied by his son, A. P. Hunt. During the week they took va rjous scenes around the city and Sat urday night packed their outfit intend ing to go on the train yesterday to take views and then return here. Sat wday, Mr. Hunt appeared in his usual good health but late Saturday night he complained of feeling ill and ap- peared restless. Yesterday morning lIr. Hunt and his son arose, had break fast and started for the depot. A. P. Hunt took the heavier pieces of the photograph outfit and started for the depot. explaining to his father that they must hurry or they would miss the train

A conveyance was secured and the stricken man taken back to his apart ments at The Sexton, physicians sum moned, but life was extinct.
 It appears that Mir. Hunt, Sr., had stopped perhaps from exhaustion, placed his pack on the sidewalk, rest ed, and was in the act of starting out again. He stopped overland fell dead.
 Word was sent to another son, k. W. Hunt, in business at Valdez, and he will arrive on the first steamer which is the Mamposa. Both sons will accompany the body to Anchorage on the Mariposa, where burial will take place Mrs. Hunt. widow of the dead man, is now at her home in Anchor age.
 D. S. Hunt was 51 years of age. He came to Alaska in 1898 and since that time had engaged almost exclusively in photographing, having made trips along the southeastern and southwest ern coast of Alaska and towards the interior For a time Mir. Hunt made his headquarters at Valdez but moved to Anchorage in August or September of last year. He was the official pho tographer of the Alaskan Engineering Commission from it's organization.
 Besides being connected with the Commission, Mr. Hunt was the Dis trict Deputy Grand Sire of the Odd Fellows and as such organized the l.. O. O. F. lodge in Valdez, Resurrection Lodge No. 2 in this city, and several

|of the chapters is another table with
each separate chapter numbered and
la few words of discussion of the
topic. The author was very accurate
lin his writings and had a page after
this second table devoted to "errata, =
where he has all mistakes in words
Tor references corrected. Upon look
ing up few of these errors it will
be found that Mr.. Campbell took note
of them and corrected his book to the
very letter.
The volume as whole is composed
of two parts, with the first part in
the back of the book, in -ifact the
whole arrangement of the chapters
and sections is very irregular and in
formal so that to try to read the
whole book in a connected manner
would involve as much perplexity as
working out a Chinese puzzle.
The printer, Edmund Calamy, who
called himself the 'Imprimatur," did
his best to make the book look as we'll
as possible and as consequence the
extra pages and vacancies before and
after the chapters and sections are
we'll filled with curious engravings
and grotesque figures. The first word
of each chapter he enlarged and fig
ured deliberately. He had one very
peculiar custom of setting the last
word of each page just below the end
of the last line and then repeating
the word as the first word of the first
line on the following page. This
was probably a custom of the time.
Mr.. Campbell must have been a
minister himself, for the book shows
that it has been used considerably
and read and re-read many times.
Here and there he made small ref
erence marks for future reading and
sometimes wrote in the margin lit
tie paragraphs of German and Eng
lish which we have SO far been I'M
able to translate fully.
The style of the author is very
good, although trifle incoherent. He
has his pages well filled with meta
phors, SMILES and alterations all
couched in that simple old English
of peculiar and curiously
spelled words of the 18th and 18th
centuries. A few Of these are coyning
for coming, slime for sin, musick for
music, scorne for scorn, favourite for
favorite and murtherer for murderer
He just nicely starts line of thought
and then rushes off in another di-
rection, sometimes in perfectly
good vein but with practically
no connection to what the first part
of the paragraph is about. In this
respect he is somewhat like our COM,
modern writer, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, whose, paragraphs
were said by some critics to resem-

high SCHOOL HAS
RARE OLD VOLUME
Book Over $50 Years Old is Found in
the Attic Of Central School
Building.

While cleaning out the attic OF the
south central school building recent
~, Janitor Buelow found a quantity
of old books and papers, which he re-
ferred to Supt. Kelly for inspection,
preparatory to burning them. Mr..
Kelly looked them over with the re-
suit that among this mass was found
"a very old volume, dated on the lily
leaf 1868. Manley Sweazey, high
school student, has written the fol-
lowing interesting description of this
old book:
The book itself looks just like any
other time-worn volume OF today, be-
ing bound in brown leather and hemp
achievements. The old binding is
in bad state of repair, but never
theless shows good workmanship on
the part of the original binder. Both
inside and out the paper is turned
yellow with age but the type is still
clear and easily legible.
One is greatly impressed by the
somewhat lengthy title, which reads
in part: "The Christian in Complete
Armour, or Treatise of the Saints
War Against the Devil" The rest
of the title covers about half OF the
B fly leaf. On the bottom half of the
fly leaf is the name Of the original
owner, j. A. Campbell, written in old
English script, and at. the bottom of
! the page is given the name of the
author, William Gurnall, NJ. A., Of
Emanuel College, and the date and
place of publication of the book as
'..165S, London, England, printed at
the Bible in Cornhill, near the Royal
Exchange.
Mr.. Gurnall was evidently of the
old type of minister and very de-
vout Christian for the Epistle Dedi-
catory reads like lowly prayer and
is signed $50 prayeth your affection
ate. though unworthy minister, Viii
liam Gurnall, Leavenham, January J.,
1856. Following this Epistle Dedi-
catory is given table of the contents
of the chapters written in sing-song
verse, with figures at the left margin
to show which particular line refers
to EACH chapter. Immediately fol-
lowing this first table of contents
