Opportunity" December 9, Physical Education
and Hygiene"
This program viii not be followed siavishly,
but will serve as an outline. In Indiana it is
highly probable that the report of the invest-
eating committee, which has made thorough
study of our system, will give us abundant mate
rial for local consideration.
For instance, only 25 per cent of the elemen-
tary teachers of Indiana out of 13,051 are salts
factorily trained when judged by a standard re-
curing diploma from high school and two
years of training especially related to teaching
in the elementary grades The greater number
of poorly prepared teachers was found in the
rural schools. The report says the standard of
rural schools will not be raised by consolidation
and the institution of proper supervision if the
standard of teachers who are to function in the
schools is not high one.
The American Legion is emphasizing the
value of parents visiting the schools during this
week. The Legion believes if parents will visit
the schools to become acquainted with the needs
of the pupils and of the schools, they will go
home with keener desire for true American
ization of our population.
A cooperative spirit between parent and
teacher will rebound to the welfare of the child
and will help work out the problems confronting
the educator. And this interest, instead of being
a sporadic one manifesting itself only once a
year, should be a constant one, so long as the
pupil is in the school.

Education Week

The necessity of educating the youth has al
ways been accepted as one of the best ways to
guarantee the perpetuity of the republic Our
educational system has accomplished great re-
suits, but there still many points in which it
is weak and hating. To acquaint the public with
the aims of the system, John j. Tgert, United
States commissioner of education, has desig-
mated the week of December 3-9 as Education
Week" It win be observed Throughout the
country not only in the schools, but also by the
American Legion, clubs, churches, theatres and
various civic bodies.
In order that the important phases of educa-
ton might be stressed, certain days, as follow,
have been set aside for special topics:

Ripping RHYMES
GOOD TEETH
BY Walt Mason

oh, children, you have cleaning
fangs, such as I used to wear, and you
will sidestep future pangs by giving
them due care. Once / could eat the
toughest steak the boarding houses
knew, and not a shining tooth would
break, or be pushed out of true The
railroad doughnut 1 could gnaw and
not tooth would spring; my jaw was
like a crosscut saw that shears
through everything. / did not give my
teeth the care that they deserved
my dears, and in the dentists padded
chair spend my wintry years. The
dentist struggles wildly well to cheer
me, in his coop; he's made me teeth
of tortiseshell, with which I chew my
soup. And can eat a pail of mush
if it's not boiled too hard, but walters
to me no more rush with beefsteak by
the yard. My handmade teeth wori
to and fro, and shther up and down;
they're always hurting, as I go around
the needless town. And when / sing
a dulcet note, or heave statewide
smile, the blamed things slide adowr
my throat and strangle me awhile
In spite of me my spirit says, although
strive to grin; my mouth is full oi
concrete snags attached to plates Of
tin So, children, guard your pearly
teeth, for when they are no more, no
miser's hoard nor poets wealth YOU
gladness can restore.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 81
The opening of the winter program of
gallery rifle matches reveals that more
people than ever are interested in
craftsmanship. 1t is estimated that
about 100000 rifles are in use in this
country, and more than 100000 per-
sons are enrolled with the National
Rifle Association.
+ Rifle shooting has been promoted
by the association ever since 1871 as
a preparedness measure, and now the
War department is working through a
board, in cooperation with the asso
citation, to stimulate interest in tar.
get practice. National matches fired
on one large range and gallery and
outdoor. small bore matches fired on
competitors home ranges are held
each year. Cups, medals, and other
trophies are awarded.
But, according to the rifle board, the
government is not advocating rifle
shooting entirely in the interests OF
national defense. Whether a man
ever shoulders gun in the army OF
militia, the exercise and personal de
velopment of target shooting are
worthwhile, and the board wants tc
see rifle shooting even more of pop
ular sport than it has grown TO be-.
Because rifle shooting does not at
tract large public audiences knowledge
of the sport lis confined chiefly to
marksmen. Unlike football, it has
few fans who merely sit on the side
lines and YELL An audience at a

lockers becomes fan he gets a gun.
This is a healthy condition 1t is
an ideal of sport to have large per
centage of the people interested en-
gaging in the activity, leaving a small
percentage of chronic onlookers. Rifle
shooting is one of the few sports thai
approximates this ideal.
In fact, rifle shooting is an unusua
sport IL number of ways, because
of its relation to national defense i

in which almost no casualties occur. A.

More Than 100000 Persons Are Enrolled in the National
Rifle Association in United States.

which carries the high school cham
pionship for the country.
High schools and many colleges
have come to regard shooting as a
standard sport for the which the
school letter is to be regularly award
ed. The Naval Academy, the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Yale, and
Princeton are among the colleges at
which rifle shootingg is rated with
other sports.
Police departments in some cities
have formed rifle teams, and ex-sol
diers and sportsmen all over the
country are organized in more than
1000 clubs of the National Rifle as
sociation. Rifle shooting is known
as a poor mans game-an entire af-
ternoon's practice would cost about
Is cents-and because of this large
numbers of working men are enrolled
in the clubs. 1t also appeals to sci
entists and technical workers who are
attracted by the problems of marks
manship.
One big advantage of shooting as a
popular sport is that anyone can
shoot, according to an official OF the
rifle board. A husky athlete may not
be so good marksman as a man OF
slight, wiry build. A person wearing
eyeglasses may be a first class shot
True eyesigHt rather than unusually
keen sight is needed.
Shooting makes for physical fit
ness" says this official There are
no strenuous contortions attached to
it, but the kneeling, rising, and stoop-
ing constitute a kind of exercise that
most people need. Indirectly, too, the
marksman is apt to be benefited
physically. The beginner soon learns
that he can shoot straighter when he
feels well than when he is run down
Enough sleep, some exercise, nouish-
ing food makes for steadiness. The
rifleman rarely goes in for rigorous
training, but he finds his shooting rec.
ord an incentive to ordinary fitness.
Teaches Coordination

Perhaps the benefit of rifle shoot
ing, though, is that-it teaches co-ordi

than from hit If you fail to hit the

lar control, as pointed out by this ex-
pert, is obvious. Nerves are preva-
lent source of unfitness in this coun-
try today. The rifle expert says that
a person who is excessively nervous
either learns to control his nerves and
muscles by practicing at a target or he
never learns to shoot. The nervous
thoughtless person who bangs away
gets nowhere until he develops self
control.
The average individual can acquire
this control. The rifle expert says:

After Dinner Stories

A divorce court judge said the other
day that he thought he'd write a guide
for bachelors-a book of t'Don'ts for
those who contemplated marriage
Then he ratified off:
Don't marry a girl who dresses IN

keepers such girls are awful Their
houses-hog pens!
Don't marry an intensely religious
girl Here is a passionate, unbalanc
ed nature. She may turn Holy Roller

Don't marry a heavily scented girl

better muscular coordination by ma
ture one man may develop shooting
ability quicker than another of course.
but most Of the men at the top OF the
game are men who have got there by
work.
The expert offers another point to
show the value of rifle experience. He
points out that because of the danger
OF carelessly handled firearms the dis
cipltne of range Is strict. The amateur
soon has 1t drilled into him that his
must observe the rules for handling
gun and staying at his post. Com
sciously or unconsciously the man wtoi
shoots learns to discipline himself
and others. It is because this caution
becomes second nature to the shooter
that there are so few accidents on the
rifle range. In the past 10 years there's
have been no fatalities at the natioRaA
rifle matches, which are the hdggesH
