EDUCATORS FAVOR
ATHLETIC TRAINING
Claim Students Are Fitted by
This Course for Better
Service Through Life
By H. g. Hamilton.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
New York, May Following the
discontinuanee of athletics in nearly
every college and university of promin.
ence in the country, heads of represen'
tative schools today indicated a change
of sentiment and resumption OF
sports.
In answer to queries from the United
Press, deans of colleges and universities
in every section of the country have re-
Piled, with only few exceptions, that
they believe abandonment of athletics
is mistake.
These questions were asked of the
deans:
nDo YOU believe athletics in the uni
yersities and colleges in this country
should be resumed after the first draft
for troops is completed7
"Do You believe athletic training is
helpful to military training2"
The first question received chorus
Of "ayes."
The second question received even
mere replies in the affirmative.
Arthur Hobson Quinn, dean of the
University of Pennsylvania, wrote a
strong recommendation for sports. AT
PENNSYLVANIA efforts are being made,
as at no other school, to keep athletics
alive. It is the only eastern college of
prominence where preparations are be-
ing made to play football schedule
this fall.
ffI believe sincerely" wrote Profes-
sor Quinn, ''that not only athletic activ-
itv. but also ether forms Of student ac-
tivitv should be continued. If are
to continue to train a generation that
will have to meet the great problems
are that sure to arise after the war is
over. we need good minds in good bod
fes among our undergraduates 1t would
not only be n mistake to train the stu
dent body of our colleges for the early
units of the selective draft, but it would
also be a great mistake TO deprive those
who are in college of their legitimate
diversions and activities. They will
make better students, better citizens
and even better soldiers when the time
comes"

while the pop, pop of one-pounders al
the distant target gives touch OF
realism to it all.
Aft, on all the ships, other crews are
training with dummy guns-one pound
ers and five Founders. The shell and
the powder bag go in like elockwork
and with smash that makes it seem
as though these lads were in deadly
combat with a real enemy.
Up in the turrets with the tremend-
GUS 14-inch guns, other drills proceed.
Ensigns, fine clean cut chaps, direct
these tasks.
Their gun crews from magazine to
turret run up close to 100 men. The
crews work like the great machines
they man. The she'll, the powder, the
ramming, all go ahead like magic.
Elsewhere, men are working out on
charts just the range, elevation and so

directions down d multitude of tubes,
pushes buttons, flashes lights, and
than up in the secret ''fire control Z"
tower, a man pushes some more but

"Good", "That took - seconds, "
he'd yell back after a particularly
good performance.
Over in the other turret, they heard
that call of so many seconds, and it
was the call to battle. The second tur-
ret crew was little greener than the
others.
A big husky sailorman with great
splotches of freckles, sang out:
"Come on there. That other gang
did it in -- seconds. Let's pep it
up and give 'em HI
And the second crew was doing just
that before that days drill was over
Somebody blundered once.
"Watch those lights" came the com

But the gun crew tended to that, and
the ensign didn't have to say more.

BUREAU OF MINES
 SAFETY PROGRAM

Washington, Mar. 20-in it's eff forts to reach all of the million min CTS in the United States with it's safe ty propaganda, the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, has start ed the issuance of miners circulars in foreign languages. The first of a proposed series of circulars for the benefit of the foreign-born, contain ing first lessons in first aid to the injured has just been issued in Italian, Polish, and Slovak, and while these circulars are meant primarily for the miners, they contain information of such general character as to make them helpful to any man of the three nationalities who works under any de- gree of hazard.
 In order to make these circulars of educational value and to teach and encourage the foreigners to learn the English language, the foreign transla- tion is given on one page and the English equivalent on the opposite page with the paragraphs numbered.
 ''The issuance of these circulars by the Bureau of Mines in foreign lan- guages is not only an additional eff fort toward the safety of the miners, but is also step in the line of good citizenship said Secretary of the h. terior Lane today. We would all naturally prefer to encourage the min CTS to read English, but insofar as the Bureau of Mines is concerned, its first purpose is to get the miners to read what it publishes looking to the pre- vention of mine accidents 5
 There is no possibility of making a good citizen out of dead miner and our first duty in behalf of good citizenship is to help prevent miners from being killed. The plan of the bureau in placing the English in paral- Tel with the foreign language in these circulars will however encourage the alien miners to learn English at the same time they are reading in their own languages about the dangers of their work. These circulars will also have value to the children of these men in showing them the English equivalent to their fathers tongue" The circulars are free to those who write to the Bureau of Mines for them.

POsTMAsTERs AND POLITICS.

The plan to require all applicants for positions as Postmaster to submit to compe- titive examinations, whether the office they aspire to is under the civil-service law or not, has only the force of rule made by the presi- dent. The senate has seen fit to keep its power to confirm appointments of all but fourth-class postmasters, and nothing the president can do will alter the law.
 No matter how fine the showing of the winning applicant may be, senatorial court esy will still be the deciding factor whenever it is invoked. But the new rule will streng- then the presidents position against sena- tors who insist that postmasterships must be distributed as political rewards.
 The rule is in accordance with the spirit of the law which now governs a large ma or- ity of all appointments If the merit system is good in one class of postoffces, 1t will be good in another, and where senator opposes an appointment fairly won in competitive examination he will find trouble in giving good reason for the opposition.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1917-03-23
FNOUHG IS ENOUGH.

The recent legislature demonstrated its wisdom by declining to enter into a more or les wholesale manufacture of useless or ini- mical pr radical measures. Both the senate and the house recognized the fact that Arizona already has enough laws of their kind and that to make an increase in the statutes was and is highly undesirable.
 Yet, judged by their acts, both houses surely did admirably in view of circumstances. It is safe to say that confidence in the ability. and integrity of Arizonas legislative body has been strengthened if not restored. There is reason to believe that the death knell has been sounded for destructive radicalism in Arizona. Our people want no more of it. The blessings attaching to serious, construc- tive work for the entire commonwealth are too generally recognized. Class legislation will no longer be tolerated. Fanciful, senti- mental doctrines may no longer be expected to find perhanency in adopted Jaws"
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1917-03-23
WHEN THE PEOPLE SPEAK.

The American people are slow to wrath, but when once aroused they move quickly It has been revelation to ourselves and the world to see the rapidity with which the thought and feeling of nation of 100000 900 have clarified and expressed themselves in the last two weeks.
 The armed ship debate in the senate made cleancut issue. The dozen senators who opposed the proposed move apparently had no idea of the sentiment of the country. Even the ma jority failed to realize how strong was the national feeling in favor of dignifed asseration of American rights and American honor. The public itself, perhaps, had not consciously realized it. The body of opinion was indefinite.
 The spectacle of a senate unable or un- willing to act together for the national inter est instantly awoke the nation and precipita- ted an unmistakabe verdict. The senate was promptly given to understand that in Ameri- ca majorities must rule, and that the vast majority of Americans demanded action.
 The popular outburst electrified the sen ate and stiffened the courage of the president. The senate immediately proceeded to abolish its unanimous consent rule and place con- gresS in position to express the popular will. The president decided to give expression, without further delay or legal hair-spltting, to the clear edict of the nation, and provide our merchant ships with the means of defense. Washington "cleared for action" New life was infused into every department. Prepar- ationS began in earnest for the conflict which few Americans want but most Americans now believe inevitable
 There will be no more lodging and shuffling at Washington. The people have spoken.

The best way for the independents in the lower house of congress to show their devo- ton to the general welfare in the present emergency, is for them to support the Demo- cratic caucus choice for speaker of the house.
