Toothman's Men Play Good
Pail Knight is the
Star.

SCI onal playing by Jimmie
knight, who was backed in his efforts
by all the other members of the Nor
NAL basketball team enabled Sandy
Toothman,s quintet to take the D. G.
z. tossers into camp last night in
rather easy fashion, the final statistics
being 4s-24. Knight only managed to
make nine baskets during the 40
minutes OF playing and made five fouls
out OF six attempts NJ. Hamilton and
Boehm each made four baskets for
the locals, and Tough Gagged 8. Lou
din was the best shooter for the visit
ors, getting four field goals, all Of
Them from very difficult angles.
While the score was one sided there
was plenty of good basketball play
ed during the game, and 1t was con-
test which was greatly enjoyed by
the large crowd which turned out for
this game and the high school game
just before 1t.
The first half was very exciting,
the lead see saving back and forth
from the locals to the visitors. The
half ended with Fairmont leading IT.
IA. After the rest period, the Normal
lads simply ran wild, making rs points
to 10 by the visitors in the last per-
iod In this period P. Hamilton who
was playing great game at guar!
for the locals, but who suffered sever
al hard bumps, was removed and
Smith finished the game.

A Wreath for the Public School.

A Wreath for the Public School.
The Literary Digest for January
third has an interesting article on
whether or not public schools turn
out brainer young people for college
than private schools. Out of 1000
scholars who entered Harvard from
1902 to 1912, it was found by investi-
gators that the public school pupil
was more fitted for scholarship and
held better record in studies than
the private school pupil. He was al
SO better behaved throughout his col
lege career.
This ought to be proof enough to
parents who are worried as to
whether or not young people should
be sent away to school that the public
school is the best place for him.
Many parents honestly believe tina,
the private school Is necessary and
most advantageous. I heard several
mothers discussing this problem re-

Evening Chat

Better Education for the Young Folks,
There is much talk today in the
city, following an excellent address
given Thursday night at the High
School by Prof. Kennedy of the
Pittsburgh McKelvey School, as to
how a child should be educated.
know of no subject more interesting
nor of no opinions more satisfactory
and helpful than those given by our
older Fairmont men and women who
have been out of school many years
with opportunity to Judge as TO edu-
cational policies.
Director Clyde Morris, former mem
Der OF the Board of Education, was
much impressed with the Gary, Indi-
ana, style of 0ircation, when he visit
ed there sometime ago, as were many
others. Some says children arn't
trained for practical futures nowadays
and mentioned particularly and with
Encouragement the fact that girls
leave high school and take few dol
lars a week position at the ten cent
stores.
A number in the city believe Fair
mont is fast approaching the sort OF
education which Prof. Kennedy is so
enthusiastic about, the training of a
child's natural talents in natural
manner, to a practical end. .s

work for a living may study the arts
of various nature with stay-at-home

Mayor Conaway believes it is all

study Latin and foreign languages.
He argues that these fit him for notn-

Gently and from the drift OF. the con.

advantage of private school to them
lay IN the fact that their children by
going away to school occupied higher

the sort of social position to covet

A NEW IDEAL.
(By DR.. r. r. Farnsworth.)

We in America inherit through
CENTURIES of European tradition, the
medieval Indifference to the hu
man body, often amounting to con-
tempt. We are now cutting loose
from the false idea that saintli-
ness is associated with sickness,
and the theological doctrine that
flesh is in league with the devil"
and are working toward the estab-
lishment Of more wholesome ideals
Instead OF viewing the anaemic
young man and the pale young wo.
man as sanity candidates for glory
we consider them as physically I'M
fit for work and handicapped for
marriage.
A great health movement is
sweeping over the entire world.
Hygiene has repudiated the worn
out doctrine that mortality is fatal
fly and must exact year after year
its fixed and inevitable sacrifice.
1t aims instead to set free human
life by applying modern science.
Science, which has reyolution.zed
every other field Of human endeavor
is at last revolutionizing the field
OF health conservation.
= y practice of medicine which
has been called the healing art for
ages ia fast qualifying itself in the
field of disease prevention Indeed
the preventive methods of modern
medicine are being applied by the
neonle thpInco1VpS who are elepDlno
with open windows, studying diet
lists, demanding uncontaminated
water, certified milk and in pected
meat.
Where work was considered the
Service of the poor"-now leisure
is the Course of the rich.
Excepting Fit" is the modern slo-
gan, whether it be king, Emperor,
President, statesman or schoolooy.
