HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS SHOW
NEED OF GOOD GYMNASIUM HERE

great enthusiasm over such games as
bat ball, kisk ball. dodge ball and va
rious relay races, is evinced.
1t is pitiful to relate that because
of past neglect, due partly to lack
of that interest which regular gym
nasium with modern equipment and
trained instructors would inculcate,
scarcely day of physical exercises
passes without a casualty. Though
almost unbelievable, there are quite
a few girls, apparently in normal
health, between the ages of twelve
and seventeen who cannot participate
in moderate exercise for half an hour
without getting out of breath, de-
.veloping headache, or fainting.
Let's get together, build a new
high school building equipped with a
modern gymnasium, and devote more
time and money to the development
of the physical side of our children.
Without a sound body, sound mind
is to say the least improbable. With
our limited means we are making
an effort to turn out of the schools
we'll rounded citizens, but without APP
preparations of some kind, we are
well nigh helpless.

City Playground Thursday afternoon,
May 25.
The boys left with blood in their
eyes, determined to make a clean
sweep of the series. The team has
been with the stick all season but
has made steady progress, and some
extra batting practice has put them
in shape to weld the willow with
deadly effect. The infield have set
tied down to business and are now
fielding like demons. The outfield-
ers are covering ground like cir
Gus tent, and the opposing batsman
who lifts one to the outer gardens is
gone gosling.

injuries to his hands all season, but
gameness and a spirit of true sports

BOXING
GLOVE GOSSIP.

Within recent years the subject
of physical education has been re-
ceiving unusual attention. The con-
victlon has grown that by systematic
training and instruction it is posi-
BILE to promote physical growth and
strength, to improve and conserve
health, and to so instruct in the
knowledge and ideals of physical well
being as to make these results per-
sist for the life of the individual.
1t develops intensity and concen-
tratlon. The expert is able to keep
his mind on the object in hand, while
one who cannot do this is a failure.
1t is not always he who gets bis blow
in first who wins out. 1t is always
he who gets his blow in last.
Boxing is the most comprehensive
form of physical exercise, summing
up all the particulars set out above.
The United States government has
set its approval on it in all of its
camps and schools. In preparing men
for the conflict in the recent world
wide war, various physical culture
and methods and popular athletic
sports were used in bringing our SOL
diers and sailors up to the highest
physical condition. In camps and on
battleships they were taught the art
of skillful boxing.
The writer does not claim to be
authority on boxing, or any sport
for that matter, but is of the opinion
that it is manly sport that should
have been wrested from the cheap
ruffians and blood-thirsty pugilist
long ago and restored to the high
rank it deserves in athletics.
Edward Everett, Jr., an Am>ri.
Gus boy now in Mercer University
while in the navy caught the vision
of better physical training, and is
now considered by authorities on the
subject an expert in skilful boxing.
This summer he will act as physical
instructor at Camp Sapphire, N. G..
near Brevard.

1t is hardly probable that bath

inasmuch as very satisfactory ar

hers do not object, and the house ad-
joining the club house as dressing

GOLF PHILOSOPHY.

Golf is a science, a study for a
lifetime, in which you may exhaust
yourself but never your subject. 1t
is a contest, a duel or melee, call
ing for courage, skill, strategy and
self-controI. 1t is test of character.
1t affords a chance to play the man
and act the gentleman. 1t means
going into Gods out-of doors, getting
close to nature, fresh air, exercise,
a sweeping away of mental cobwebs,
and genuine recreation of the tired
tissues. It is a cure for care, an

Golf is the worlds great moral

golf just for the exercise, he gays,
but soon he forgets his primary OBJ

game. 81 expect to live to make this

next year. Already he has with
drawn his mind from the past and has
begun to look forward. For him the
future holds achievement, greatest
balm of the soul. Dormant muscles
come again in play and with their
quickening returns the spirit of
youth. He finds that the essence of
golf is not more physical than meta

The prospects are very bright for
some real sport in Americas during

LIFE AND GOLF.
(By Thornton w. Burgess.)
Lies a bally game of golf,
Don't you know,
You chase little ball of gold
And when you think you've got 1t
holed
You find you don't know where 1t
rolled
Don't you know.
You pull or slice or top your drive,
Don't you know.
It's mostly hazards, wet or dry,
With now and then pretty lie
You play it and-why then you die
Don't you know.
Many are called, but out of the lot
Only a few know the mashie shot.
A duffer who stood on the tee
And dreamed of a par-breaking three,
Put four out of bounds
And he may have said POUNDS"
But it did not sound like that to me.

might find it doing routine business
and as quiet and, placid as a summer

partisan discussion between party

Cannot Always Be on the Floor.
Members need not sit on the floor
all the time. They have much to do
besides. Much Of the business of con-
gress Is transacted In the committees.

vantage Of every lull In proceedings

There Is always departmental work
to be taken care of, but members ID

afternoon when the house Is in ses-

Of the roll cali signals.
Whether your member Is on the
floor or not, you may depend upon 1t
that he knows pretty we'll what is 60

The greatest safeguard Is thrown
about legislation to keep anyone from
putting something over. Much Is done
by unanimous consent when a single
member can object and stop or stay
proceedings. A member may at any
time question the presence Of a quo
rum and If the speaker does not find a
quorum present by actual count the
roll is called. Signal bells ring in the
corridors, restaurant and house office
building so that members may appear
and answer to their names. When
ever a member Is fearful that some
thing will be done which he doesn't
want done except by consideration of
the whole house, he al raise the ques-
ton of a quorum and a quorum must
be secured before business Is further
considered.

a majority Of its membership. There

as compared with other governing
bodies In a republic. Consider your
own city council, your own board of
county commissioners, your own state
legislature. Who has not tried for
years and years to get a certain street
light placed, a street crossing fixed
up, a city street tut through, a
city park established, the city
streets paved, a country road de-
fined or a bridge built or this or
that law amended, changed, repealed
or passed? Let that individual who
has never seen these long delays in
