SCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS.

Robert Edgren sports writer for many large daies, al
athlete wide experience has the following to conce
school athletics His article appeared in the Baltimore Sun
Sunday:
"The most dangerous development in all
sport in recent years has been the competition IN
the Schools with track meets, football and basket
ball youngsters, who ought to be exercising to de-
velop themselves instead of competing to advertise
the schools and make reputation for their athletic
coaches In many the coaches don't care what
becomes of the young athletes afterward Followers
of athletic sports that few of the best school
boy athletes improve proportionatey in college. They
are often burned out by too much competition before
they grow up and reach their natural development.

Ayr mine, near Terre Haute, Ind, was
digging coal with a pick 200 feet below
the surface and more than a quarter
of. a mile back in the mine, late in
March, when he struck a substance
that was firmly embedded in the coal.
he picked at it until a piece, more
thar one foot long fell out, disclosing
a well-developed tree trunk with limb
formations still intact. The whole
tree appears to be In the coal. He took
the wood to Terre Haute and Will

spongy instead of petriied, as would
be supposed. The find is attracting
