True Sportsmanship in High Schools

Clean craftsmanship in the high schools is
the principle upon which the Indiana High School
Athletic association is founded, declared A. L.
Trester secretary of the organization, before the
senior high school last week. Professionalism
in all its phases once the bane of the preparatory
schools, and the playing of boys who are older
than the prescribed age limit, are banned by the
organization.
Mr.. Trester is doing valuable work by max
ing tour of the state to enunciate the principles
of true craftsmanship before the high schools.
The desire to win often develops to such de-
gree that all thoughts of craftsmanship are for
gotten and the most reprehensible methods are
employed to gain supremacy.
This can be curbed by rules and regulations,
but far better still is the development of school
spirit that will not think of resorting to unfair
means, and spurns the methods that bring sue
cess at the sacrifice of principle.
Athletics are encouraged in schools to pro-
mote physical health and develop manhood and

A Dip Into Political History

sentiment
This feeling was particularly strong
in New York, where most of the
foreigners took up their residence
An organization of native Americans
for political purposes was formed and
IN 1914 it succeeded in electing James
Harper mayor of New York on a ma
tive American ticket.
Then came the great influx of Irish
as a result of the famine in Ireland
and in the five years from. 1916 to
1850 the migration equalled that of
the preceding 20 years. Most of the
Irish immigrants were Roman Catho-
lies. Native Americanism famed IN
hotter than ever, and the fires were
famed by religious preiudices. In
Philadelphia two Catholic churches
were destroyed in riots between ma.
tives and Irish, and in Boston a con-
vent was burned.
immigration continued to increase,
almost doubling during the five-year
period from 1850 to 1855, but long be-
fore that the Know-Nothing party
broke into national politics, although
it was not then known by that name.
In 1915 six native Americans were
elected to congress on that issue, four
from New York state and two from
Pennsylvania. Seven years later the
Know-Nothing organization, as such,
made its appearance.

womanhood. When an athletic sport degener-
ates into desire for the acquisition of trophies
and honors by dishonest means, it is far better
for the school authorities to abolish sports than
to permit them.
True craftsmanship is a trait deserving to be
cultivated in the schools and colleges. The play
er who courageously frowns on trickery and de-
ceit to win game is a far better boy than the
lad who wins because he is willing to forget fair
play and manhood in an hour of temptation.
1t would be pity were high school athletics
minimized, for they serve valuable purpose in
promoting health and developing character. A
sound mind in sound body is a principle to be
guided by in judging the value of high school
sports Close application to books isn't the only
preparation needed for life. A sound body is
just as necessary.
School authorities are encouraging athletics
more and more, and rightly so, because with the
increased attention to sports has come better
regulation and closer supervision. The state
high school athletic association illustrates the
point Through it the various athletic features,
as they pertain to meets between schools, are
controlled rules for competition are set out, age
limits established, and general supervision exer-
cised.
But most important is the constant effort of
the association to teach the boys and girls the
value of honesty and fair play in their sports.
This is character development which will stand
them in good stead later in life when shortcuts
present themselves and there is the temptation
to desert high principles for crooked ways.

opposition society which was known
as the Know-Somethings but it did
not attain the proportions of a dis
tinct political party.
Governors and legislatures were
elected by the Know-Nothings in New
York and four New England states
in 1855, and in the West and South
they were successful or were defeated
by only the narrowest of margins in
nine states. In 1856 eight of the then

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 25.-
Agitation for a new political party and
the various attempts that are being
made to inject religious differ ences
into politics make it interesting to
look backward some rs years and re-
view the events of a similar move
ment in this country. A new party
flared up rocket-like then, and rocket
like it came down. 1t was the Know
Nothing party, and the days of its
brief existence witnessed the most in
tense political conflagration the Unit
ed States has ever known.

more than that number af aliens to
our population in a single year, but
it was sufficient in those days tc

Dear Sirs:
As a taxpayer and a citizen I wish to
protest against the council passing
the bus ordinance now up for action
Our street railway system is a per-
manent public necessity, the same as.

electric light plant, the water COM

gas company. 1t is among our largest

They keep their tracks, road bed
and rolling stock in good condition
and the fair is very low. Their services
is satisfactory, schedule regular and
frequent for a city of this size, and
when occasion requires, extra cars are
run. Cars are heated warm and COM
| Portable in the winter.
If we had no street car system, and
lot of rickety, rackety buses clat-
| tering around over the streets of Rich
mond, what inducement would not the
council and citizens generally offer
some corporation to come around and
establish as good street car system
as we have with their large perma-
nent investment.
Il Our street cars run the year round.
winter and summer, on a regular
schedule. They are a permanent fix

Buses would run in the winter
when they could, wear out our streets
and give no satisfactory service.
trust you will see that it is to the
best interest of the city and people
generally, to vote against this ordi-
nance so as not to interfere with our
present street car system.
Yours to help make Richmond the

tory ''any place where two or more
persons are engaged in working for
hire or reward in any handicraft.
C. D. Wright's definition reads, "a fac
tory is an establishment where sew
eral workmen are collected for the
purpose of obtaining greater and
cheaper conveniences for labor than
they could procure individually at
their houses; for producing results by
their combined efforts which they
could not accomplish separately; and
for preventing the loss occasional by
carrying articles from place to place
during the several processes necessary
to complete their manufacture" An
