school sports should be chosen with

to make most of those contests which
train a limited few to the exclusion of
the great majority.
Fortunately, the out-of-door sports.
even though the number Of contestants
is small, have attached to them enough
Of rivalry, chance and skill to draw
crowds into the fresh air and sunshine

Skating, skiing. snow-shoeing, cross

down hill, baseball. football and open

for the young. They are properly en-

This certainly was the queerest little

the water come from?'

He raised his head and the children
discovered that he not only had one

had three eyes in a triangle shape right
on the very top OF his head. His hind
