Spelling at Israel Putnam School

The December spelling match be
tween the seventh and sixth grades of
the Israel Putnam school, taught by

The second contest began IN De-
ccmber, but owing to the holidays,
was finished only last week. The
teachers were afraid that Johns new
Christmas books and Mary's trinkets
would divert their minds 70 some ex-
tent, but to their surprise when school
opened last week the skies and sew

the finish. Oh, but II was exciting and
it looked as though II would be tic
and no party, When the score was
finally counted the "siXes" led by a
trifle larger margin not much, as the
ice was pretty thin.
The little super skies" are good
sportsmen and displayed iine spirit
when one of their number said, "Oh,
well. the 'sevens' worked rs hard as
we did and we didn't beat them bad

With the very highest grade of per
sonnet and equipment the efforts OF
the men viii be handicapped unless
there is the brosdcst kind OF cooper.
alton and assistance from the citizens.
The police problem, like any other
problem so far as it is preventative
one. il problem Of the citizens them
selves. In order to be effective the
state police department needs imme-
diate information about every type of
trivial incident which constitutes an
infracticn Of the law 40 that the Off
Ger in charge ear, upon receipt of in
formation, know how TO 90 about in
vestieation. His report and future
conduct in connection with 1t will be
the subject Of direction and criticism
from headquarters. The effort which
the police department needs TO make
is TO get the public TO use the Offices
in free manner and to tell their trou.
hles to tire men freely without reser.
Walton so that the files of the depart
ment may carry all the information
obtainahle from the citizens. If this
can be done, even with a small num-
Der of men and a large territory, a
very decided effectiveness can be OBJ
tanned and conditions can be bettered.
How People Can Help
Such organizations as the Grange,
mems clubs in villages and towns,
fish and game clubs. and organizations
Of all kinds can be very useful in sup
plying information. The state police
department commission and superin-
tendent desire that the men of the de
partment shall be the friends of law
abiding citizens. and all information
received will be promptly and eff.
eiently acted upon. The effectiveness
of the department. system of patrol
depends upon the cooperation Of the
citizens.

Aside from the purely esthetic side
of such work, it Is of great Importance

No one can look upon things which
are beautiful without feeling more

spend part of his time admiring the
flowers and breathing their fragrance

his own work more nearly perfect.
We, therefore, should be more thank

there should be greater effort to keep

A movement to preserve the species
of wildfiowers is taking practical form
in one of the big cities of the United

aside a part of one Of the public parks
for a wilGflOwer preserve.
Every community would assure
greater happiness for its people by
protecting these beautiful works Of

THE WILD FLOWERS

GAVE the wild flowers.
~ Slowly. but surely. many of the
most beautiful species of blooms are
disappearing. Constantly those who
love them carelessly pull them up by
the roots, or the uncaring destroy them
with little less than criminal intent
Virtually nothing is being done to give
them heightened lives.
Yet there are thousands who find
some of the greatest pleasure in
tramping through the woods and fields
and viewing the fragrant beauties in
their native haunts. God was kind in
giving us so many varieties to en-
nance the landscape and make the
world more beautiful And those who
love the wildfowers would be remiss
in their duty to themselves and their
fellows If they did not use every pos
sible influence to have the Coral spe-
cies preserved.

material value Is to be gained by ex-

EXERCISING THE WILL

MDTTIING is more fatal to growth
IN of will than that form of indo-
lence which shrinks from trial and ex-
pertinent.
The person who is confronted by a
new perpleXity, loses his or her self
reliance and in despair cries, what
shall | do" Is not destined To 90 very
far afield in the creation of song or
story or in the crafts.
He must, like boats. keep near the
shore and be ever ready to scud Into
the harbor.
All fhe achievements i'm the arts and
sciences result from exercising an in
diIidual will and strengthening it in
difficult situations.
The practice of doing things habit
ually, as n boOkkeeper adds column
of figures or a typist rattles off a
routine letter, increases speed and
contributes a certain quality Of eff
cheney. but II does not by any manner
of means improve the vOlitional power.
No new or original force Is brought
into play.
The mind functions from nabit with
out any strain, unconscious of exer-
ton. Mere habit is the impelling
power which If persisted in for a long
time weakens the will and eventually
retards progress and originality.
The men and women who rise to
the heights are those who every day
exercise their will-power In new
spheres. In their self-appOinted occu-
pations they call up their reserve
strength. whip their brains to a faster
gait and discipline their resolution.
They think and act for themselves,
master their own problems by per-
severance and mount step by step to
places where rewards are largest and
honOrs are unblemished.
They early learned how to depend
on themselves by reasoning and using
their Judgment. They dug down TO
basic principles and discovered the
"whys and wherefcres."
Then followed robustness and an
ability of mind which developed will
power Of the highest order.
And this hiGh-powered will is avail
able to all who will drill themselves
TO hard work and avoid slothful
habits.
This special exercise Of the intellect
which is necessary to expand the will

CORRECTING A SLICE
CORRECTING A SLICE

OF all tho faults In golf that break
the spirit Of the greatest number OF
players, believe the slice heads the
fist
The pull or hook isn't nearly 30 bad in
many ways, for while it may carry tho
ball into greater trouble, it feels more
like wellhit shot and gets much bet
ter distance
But tho slice has that dead feeling,
and in the way of distance it has a
killing effect
Another point about the slice is that
30 many things can cause 1t.
Well take the case Of the dutfcr who
Is slicing badly. "You are doing So
and-so," says ono observer.
He corrccts that and keeps on sllcing.
Some one else suggests he - doing
something else. He corrects that and
ne is still slicing.
Ilc may try out dozen cures before
he ever stumblcs upon the real reason,
which may come from any one OF TWEEN
ty faults.
Obvious Faults
am going to take up here only
some Of the most obvious faults, or the
most common ones, that cause slicing.
In every case the club head is pulled
across the ball, but many things caa
cause this result.
It may be that the left hand ia ::ot
right hand is gripping too tightly.
These are two faults that one sees
almost every round. So I suggest that
one Of the first things to Try out is TO
turn the left hand trihe more over
the shaft Of the club and to ease up
just little With the grip o7 the right.
Another common fault is not turning
the body and the left knee enough on
the back swng. In place OF this PIVOT
ing too many golfers pull away from
the ball on the Back swing. This nearly
always forces them to pull across the
ball on the down swing. 1t is mecca
sary to correct slicing to see the knee
and body turn far enough TO prevent
this pulling away.
Another Aid
Very often, also, slcine IS caused By
lifting the club in too upright man
ner from the ball with the arms too
stiff.
TO break up this fault start the club
head back on a line inside the ball, OF
an arc inside the line running through
the ball toward the green. Don't let
the club head get outside Of this line.
In addition to this, keep the club
head nearer the ground as it starts
back, swinging it IN circle around the
right foot.
Be sure that the elbows are not too
far from the body, with the left arm
straight and the right elbow held CON-
pactly in.
A big fault Just here Is the lifting Of
the left shoulder, instead Of turning it
to the left, and, if anything. triae
dropped.
That left shoulder must not come up.
Let IL come around and a trihe on the
downward side.
Be sure here thai the weight is not
all on tho right foot This Is one OF
the most common Of faults and almost
forces q slice.
The lef. foot must carry its share
Of the weight, not quite half of it, but
