announcements of Importance to the
school. Eugene McGarrigle put before the
school the possibilities of 3. H. s. stu
dents going TO Greenfield. A committee,
consisting of Edwin Lindsey, Ruth
Stockwell. Pauline Shaw and Robert
Harlow. received names of students who
wish to go. They will go in trucks, leav-
ing the school building ut 1890 p. m.
Saturday. McGarrigle said that every
member of the high school should go, and
make enough noise TO wake up Green
fields
Next. Bob Harlow brought out that
we could not play against z. G.'s If
we were to put Z. G.'s on our team we
would be almost sure of winning every
game.
He compared Dartmouth and T.. V. NJ.
to Greenfield and b. II. S. If the L. V.
NJ. could send over half of their school
to the game, why couldn't a great part
of our school go such a short distance as
Greenfield?
Edmund Manley ''got after" the boys
because they had not turned out in
practice At first, he said. there were
30 or 40 boys at practice, but the num-
Der had decreased SO that now there are
only 10 or IS men on the field He
brought out the point that even though
they couldn't make the team this year.
they received the benefit of the practice
besides furnishing competition for the
regular team. If out-of-tOwn boys are
able to practice and work, too, ought not
: the boys in the town be willing to prac-
tice afternoons?

EDITORIALS
Girls Athletics.

The Importance of girls athletics,
though many schools do not recognize it,
can hardly be rated too high.
Walter Camp, an athletic director at
Yale. in a recent article in the Woman's
Home Companion strongly supports
girls athletics To quote from him
First of all, sports will help to preserve
physical and mental balance. Our
girls will be stronger physically and able
to think more quickly and more clearly
in every emergency if they have had
properly supervised athletic training.
To quote again from him: Another
effect that their more general participa-
tion in sports has upon girls Is IN build
ing up their endurance, both moral ana
physical. Indeed. one observer has gone
so far as to say it increases even moral
endurance, and that is unqueStlonabiy
true" Mr.. Camp goes on to remark
that aside from football and boxing most
sports when not overplayed to the point
of exhaustion, are exceedingly beneficial
to girls just as they are to YOU. lie
also tells how at Radcliffe college no
girl after the class can receive degree
of B. A. unless she can swim, dive and
float
Proper athletic training develops team
with boys, thus helping to make the
school stronger. But a common error, es-
pecially in preparatory schools, is to
suppose that boys athletics is all impOr-
tant and the girls athletics only a joke.
The boys instead of supporting the girls
teams laugh at them and challenge them
10 prove themselves. Think for mo-
nent any boys who may read this. what
il would mean if, when Il football game
was announced, instead of everybody get
ting upon their feet and cheering you on
for 10 minutes they all sat back and
roared with laughter so that the an
nouncement couldn't be heard. How
would that team feel? Do you suppose
they would play a winning game? Would
they have the courage to go ahead? Yet
this is an example of the very wrong
attitude the girls have TO fight against
when the boys sit back and laugh when
they don't win out.
Play fair Give DE girls chance
and judge the true value of athletics for
them and their school by the results

Value of Commercial Course to B. III. $.
Students are coming more and more
to realize the value of the commercial
course in high school. There is a great
demand for good stenographers and book
keepers, in all branches of business, and
persons who have graduated from the
commercial course of a high school not
only know the principles of office work,
but have had some experience in doing
it,
Commercial girls from the senior
class have been chosen as secretaries for
the teachers. This gives them actual
practice in taking and transcribing
shorthand notes
Then, too, persons are chosen from the
senior class both TO sell supplies and to
supervise the afternoon typewriting
class.
Too much stress cannot be put on the
good work that this course is doing in
b. II. 5. People graduating from this
course III b. II. S. are ready to go out
into the business world earn their own
living, and help to promote business in
tPreStS.

severe, but not more.
Early sales of inoculated sui
phur indicate that large quaint
tiles will be used in the potato
growing districts of Maine, N.
York, Long Island and New Jer-
sey, and also in Canada.
But potato growers should
not get careless because they
know a way to check scab.
Perfect control by sulphur
should not be expected. Fur
thermore, sulphur costs money,
also time and. labor to apply.
The grower whose fields are
still growing clean tubers
should take warning from
his less fortunate neighbor and
apply the "proverbial ounce of
prevention" to avoid the neces-
sity of ever using sulphur.
In other words-keep the
"scab organism" out of your

ease, and treat, them with the
formalin solution before plant

ordinary seed potatoes just a
little over 100 bushels an acre
and from seed "free from dis

200 bushels of clean tubers
look pretty good in your cellar

market prices? I'll say they
would.

OF INTEREST TO
POTATO GROWERS
No. 2.
(By j. E. SMITH, Meadow
Brook Farm.

New and valuable knowledge
regarding methods of potato
culture are developed annual
ly, thru scientific and expert
mental research, which the
large growers are quick to take
advantage of while the aver
age farmer and gardener con-
tinue growing the "same old
potato in the same old way"
with the inevitable result
small yield and poor quality.
A conservative estimate plac-
es the annual national loss
from potato scab alone at $40
100000. 1t has been discover
ed that the scab on potatoes is
caused by a germ or fungus
organism which causes a rough
ening of the skin, greatly les
sening their market value; also
that this scab germ is perfectly
at home in a sweet or ackaline
soil, while it cannot live, or at
least cannot thrive in a sour
or acid soil. Therefore if scab
is already in the soil it's activi-
ty depends upon the degree of
acidity of it's environment.
Lime applied to a sour soil,
tends to neautralize the acidity
and makes the soil sweet, thus
creating a favorable environ
ment for scabs, which has been
coming more and more prevail
ent, especially where lime has
been used literally.
Working on the theory of
the application of something
that would again make the soil
sour, it was discovered that
sulphur was such a substance,
but in order to be effective, the
sulphur must be turned into
an acid by combining with wa
ter, and some oxygen from the
air.
In order to get these results
"sulphofying" bacteria must
be present, therefore it as nee
cessary to inoculate the soil
with a small quantity of soil
known to contain these bac-
terra, or by the use of inoculat-
ed sulphur. 1t was found that
finely ground sulphur flour in
oculated with the bacteria, ap-
piled broadcast over the field
before planting, and we'll mix
ed into the soil, gave best re-
suits from practical stand
point.
1t should not be put into the
row with the seed or fertilizer.
