by A. c. CAVAGNARO~~-

10 is apparent that some OF the ath
letes Of the Metropolitan Association
are ignorant Of the fact that the wear
ing of spiked shoes on the polished
armOry floors is classified as misde-
meauor in the Penal Code. The viola
ton carries with IT a penalty Of $3.50
or SIX months i'm jail, or both.
A rumor current yesterday was that
only the three eligible New York Ath-
letic Club athletes. Arthus Engels, Fred
$. Murray and h. b. Sanger, would be
seen on the starting line in the re-
running OF the seventy-yard high hur-
die race az the national games. Should
Jack kller attempt 20 start, so it is
said he viii be protested.
II develops that many more Compel
ing athletes wearing spiked shoes than
those detected cvadcd the scrutinizing
eyes Of the guard al the 22d Regiment
ArmOry al the metropolitan champion
ships. However, these athletes will be
severely dealt with should they en-
deavor 10 repeat their acts al the ma
tional games. A footwear censor squad
will be- al every door, and each athlete
entering the drill room will be COM
PEELED 20 show his shoes.
About 1000 persons watched the ex-
cccdingly close competition at the in

needed, but through the industrial
subjects the work of the school is to
open up the problems of industrial
life to the youth and to prepare him
to live his life most happily and et-
ficiently.
Of the specific needs of DOMESTIC
science and agriculture we shall
write later. At this time we must
emphasize the need of cooperation
of school officers, patrons and teach-
ers that the splendid opportunity to
begin manual training in earnest
this year shall not be lost. The state;
the county, the teacher, are az
to give Decatur county boys the ad-
vantage of this special training. We
anticipate a hearty response on the
part of school officials into whose
trust has been reposed the admins
tration of funds to the best adVan-
tageS OF our youth. ,
Mr. School Officer, we urge that
YOU discuss this matter with your
teacher. Insist that she take the
training the state provides free, or
charge. allow her five or ten dollars
for the purchasing OF wood and
limited equipment until she can DEM
onstrate the wisdom of the expense.
YOUR teacher and she is taking our
traiing, buy her bench and a lew
tools, costing not more than twelve
or fifteen dollars and we can almost
surely guarantee that the money
spent will return surprising dividends
| in added interest and new opportun-
| ity for YOUR boys. The amount neces-
sary for equipment is not large, Dut
it is needed AT ONCE, if best results
are to be obtained.
| Fifteen years experience in manu-
al training work has placed us IN
touch with the best that supply
houses offer. We shall be glad to
advise school officers and teachers in
a wholly impartial manner, as ser.
want of the state. in the selection OF
benches, tools and other supplies
