Why are up-to-date young people
so inconsiderate of others? is there
anything fundamentally wrong in the
modern methods of bringing up chill
dren? What is the underlying cause
of the startling changes which have
been taking place recently in the
standards of propriety and morality?
VIII the coming generation be like the
present one--only more so2 Why are
divorces increasing so rapidly? What
is the significance OF the so-called
demoralizatioh, and confusion of ideas
which appears TO u spreading through
out the entire civinzed world? What
are the motives and aims of the
average progressive person in his gen.
ersn conduct of life2 What is hap
piness? Is it the main purpose of a
human life? Is modern enlightenment
helping people TO attain it? Is the
average person becoming more and
more materiahstic and less inclined
to, generous sentiments? Why? Are
the present tendencies toward better
ment OF the individual life or toward
deterioration? What is life good for
Why are so many people making q
mess OF it2
These are some of the questions
which Maveric Post discusses in &
simple, human, personal way. There
is no preaching in the book-no big
abstract words. 1t is all direct, in
innate, sympathetic and unmistak
ably sincere. In q fresh, original. un
affected way it looks straight at tn,
problems OF life, as they confron
each and every one of fus, and sug

Harvard Coaching Not Costly.
Harvard. despite opinions to the
contrary, probably is paying less
money for its coaching in foot ball
than any other big university in the
east. and this despite the fact that
Harvard has built up what is recog-
nized IS the maximum efficiency in
committee coaching. Fred Moore.
graduate manager of athletics at
Cambridge. recently told thu writer
that the whole coaching staff. includ-
ing salaries and all expenses, cost
last fall less than $4,000. This sum
includes the amount expended for
scouting.
Moore explained that Harvard had
perfected a system whereby it takes
advantage of coaching abilities OF
men who make their homes in Boston.
and about the only real salary paid
goes to a head coach: one or two as
ssitants get nominal salaries and the
others practically nothing other than
their expenses. Each day, half an
hour before practice is to begin at the
stadium. a bus is stationed at a GER
coaches meet. The bus takes the
coaches to the field, and after the
practice is over the bus again does
duty in taking the coaches to their
homes Such courtesies take the
place of salaries and save money for
Harvards athletic association.
Anent Harvard's coaching system,
there are many features which are
worth a story in themselves. Some
of the things that go on behind the
scenes and just how extensive and
minute are The preparations for foot
ball games would open the eyes of
most readers of newspapers were they
brought TO light. The average foot
ball fan would never believe possi
BILE the various ramficationS of grid
iron development. Suffice for the pres
ent to use Moore'S words in deScrib-
ing Harvard's system: Il feel sure
that our system of coaching. which is
peculiar to Harvard, is the best of its
type in existence"

With all the broad floor meetings,
