athletic c"ercises. But however 1t came
about. it is mere and apparently here to stay.
THE girls play nll the sports which I
nave mentioned in their own schools,
against other schools or not. They have
also tennis, and in the fall hockey. both Of
which are very popular. There are also
many swimming clubs in the schools. and the
glrls who belong to them go to the nearby
pools for instruction and practice. Some
DAY. II we can get our own pool. AS some
other cities have. this will be an important
part of the athletic curriculum.
Began Fifteen Years Ago
Athletic instruction in the schools
started fifteen years ago; that is. in 1907.
hcforc that time there was nothing in the
elementary schools, although there was
iltfic Wor in the high schools. Then the
latter had one or at most, two teachers of
athletics; now some of them have eight or
nine.
"The progress made in this branch of
the school work has been very great, and it
mas m been attended with excellent results

ANOTHER BONUS TEST

TT is Il notorious fact that Senators and
i Representatives in Washington who have
been leaders in the agitation for a soldiers
bonus and docile listeners to the orders of
MIR. MncNider are not animated either by
conviction or by an interest in the welfare
OF ex- service men. They believe that they
must be pro. bonus if they are to keep the
good will of the rank and file and tic re-
gard of service men themselves.
Senator Pepper expressed Hat opposition
70 the soldier bonus at the outset Of the
campaign in this State. lie was nominated
easily. Mr. Burke. his opponent, who prom
tsed to support the bonus plan was de-
feated. Yet cx service men are a. numerous
In Pennsylvania as they are in any State
In the Union.
ii the primary proved anything, it proved
what good many men in Congress have vet
to learn-that Commander MucNider is not
the whole American Legion nor the spokes-
man for the, general body of World War
veterans. There are signs to Indicate tbot
majority of the cx- service vote went to
MIR. Pepper, and that for two veterans VIII,
demand the bonus three would rather do
without it.
