schools has not been considered and
that is the Keeping of the older boys
in school after they become large
enough to work. Unless something
is done to keep them interested a
heavy dropping off of the older boys
results. The athletic activities, such
as basket ball, base ball and track
meets, if encouraged, serves this
purpose. The regulations governing
athletics makes it necessary for a
boy who wishes to engage in ath-
etics to be in good standing in both
class work and discipline. The adj
vertising and publicity gained by a
school through the games and track
meets pay many times over for the
work and trouble necessary for their
success. What we must strive to do
is to keep the boys in school. They
must graduate, In the present age

place cards were decorated with

the dinner a splendid success in
every detail. The preparation of the
food was faultless and the service

cannot be given to the class for their
achievements in the culinary art.

ATHLETICS AND THE SCHOOL
(By Walter FISHERY

What was it that caused the large
gathering of people on the school
grounds one day in May, 1915? What
was the incentive which closed the
doors of the business houses in Ro-
nan on that day? Every man seemed
to throw off his coat of habitual
reserve and become one with the
track boys who were going to strug-
gle for the honor of their school
and town, l shall not go over the
oft repeated objections to athletics
for you have read them many times.
shall aim to give you few points,
which, to my mind, prove the value
of athletic training in the schools.
The boy who wishes to excel on the
track will do everything possible to
improve his physical condition,
hence the "ditching'' of cigarettes
and late hours at night. The younger
boy following in his footsteps will be
benefited by this early example. One
great point in favor of athletics in

thing is done on the other side of the
head. Here is an example: A little

to the doctor, was reported to have
been quiet for three days after birth.
Then she began itching and crying
for hours at a time. The left side
became paralyzed, her leg drawing
up and her fingers clenChed. Also she

she was using her left hand trying

walking alone with the left leg
