If wild boar are met with on q shoot, and the
country Is too rough for pursuit. they are shot;
otherwise horesmen ride them with the spear.
The boar Is an ugly customer, win charge any
one or anything and can inflict terrible wounds
with his tusks. If a rider is unseated-and this
the boar frequently accomplishes by lodging
across his pony's legs and bringing the animal
down-the only chance Of life is to keep per-
fectly still
The least movement and the boar is on him,
and this four-legged fury can rip up o man in
the twinkling Of an eye. With other riders in
company, of course, the boar can be driven of
or speared, but 1t sometimes takes time for the
other horsemen to come up, and absolute i'm

These beautiful animals belong to the same
family as the Scotch red deer. though they are
considerably larger, with fine antlers The
sambhur lives in very mountainous and thickly-
wooded country. and the only way to get a shot
IS by driving, the gum being placed in plat
form machine.

The third and last drive, however, was mare
lucky. A very fine stag appeared, picking his
way over the rough stones and bushes in front
of me, and stopped for an instant little over
100 yards away to look round him. had him
covered, and my shot took him in the chest,
bringing him down stone dead. His body was
as big as that of horse with fine antleTs, and
his head is now being set up and will presently
hang in my hall as memento of an extremely
interesting experience.
With the exception of the wild elephant and
the even rarer lion, I bagged good specimens
of most of the best known varieties of Indian
big game. And am sure that every sportsman
who has visited India will pay tribute to the
good nature and kindly helpfulness of the vii
layers, the nomads, the shikaris, the foresters.
and all the other folks who live in the wilder
districts.
I found that sport brought into closer
contact and sympathy with the people than
anything else; and did not at all regret the
Indian fashion of hospitality, which takes the
form of arranging shoots by way of compliment
to the visiting stranger.

The great admiral died ct Vallacolid May
20, 1906, at the age Of 20 years. His last words
were, Into thy hands, o Lord, commend my
spirit" Thirty years after his death his re-
mains were transferred to the cathedral of San
Domingo on the island by that name. In 1896,
when the Spaniards lost control of the island,
the remains of Columbus were removed to
Havana. The recent hurricane, which almost
devastated the island Of San Domingo, did
not harm the ancient church where the bones
of Columbus had lain.

Randolph Rogers, the sculptor of this mar
velous work Of art, an American anG self
taught. He was born in New York in 1925
and died In Rome in 1892. He was a young
man, hardly 80 years old, when he went TO
Rome to model and design the door for the
United States Capitol, and he was engaged in
the execution Of this work only four years.
The famous doors were cast in bronze in
Munich at the Royal Bavarian Foundry in
1860 by Ferdinand Won Miller, founder of
worldwide reputation. The Rogers original
models are still In the possession of the Royal
Bavarian Foundry. A duplicate set, however,
was presented by the sculptor to the University
Of. Michigan at Ann Arbor, the artists boy
hood home. These models were injured by
troops .quartered f.at the university during the
World War. and casts were made from the
door of the Capitol in order to repair the dam

After the door was cast in Munich it was

behind Columbus is q friar bearing a crucifix,
and even at the moment of this solemn cere-
mony the artist pictures members of the
crew groveling IN the sand for gold.
John vanderlyn, the artist, was born in
Kingston, N Y, in 1776, and he died there
in 1852. He q pupil Of Gilbert Stuart
and q protege of Aaron Burr. He painted
many distinguished men OF his time. With
them were Washington, Monroe, Madison and
Calhoun. His best work is . painting en-
titled "Marius Among the Ruins of Carthage"
This picture was greatly admired by Napoleon,
but the artist refused to sell 1t to the French
government because he desired his best work
to remain In America
Despite his brilliant career an artist and
his popularity in the prime of life, Wander
lyn's last days were unhappy and unfortunate;
he died penniless and alone IN q hotel In his
native town In New York. The Landing Of
Columbus" was installed in the rotundA Of
the Capitol in 1916, six years before the
tragic death of the artist.
THE next commemoration in the Capitol OF
the intrepid navigator is HeatOn's great
painting, 1.-The Recall Of Columbus" It hangs
on the gallery floor of the Senate lobby OPP
posite the painting 1.-THE Battle Of Lake Erie"
The artist, Augustus George Heaton, was an
American and q Washingtonian. He sold this
picture to the United States Government In
1884 for $4,000. 1.-THE Recall Of Columbus"
which depicts the turning point In the life
of the explorer, was painted in Paris in 1882,
after studies made by the artist at the scene
of the event, which occurred near Granada,
Spain. Columbus was 60 years old at the
time he had made his lat appeal for financial
aid to Ferdinand and Isabella, and he had
been refused. Discouraged, but not defeated,
he then started on his way to seek help from
the King of France.
After the departure of Columbus from the
Spanish court some of his friends begged
Isabella to sanction the expedition. She
yielded to their persuasions and determined,
if necessary, to sacrifice her jewels to finance
this unprecedented adventure. In her zeal
she sent a mounted messenger in haste after

is to see that every child is better off when he or she leaves the school than had he or she not attended school at all. Some will be stupid but not your children, of course, and some will be bright and some between these two extremes.
 Finally the business man will say, You talk so much that I can't follow you. but one thing that yoI have to admit. Your schools cost too blamed much
 Cannot Cut School Costs
 Every new administration that comes into power in the city throws this broadside, but l don't know how the schools can cost less. The salary for teachers in this state, be- fore the war, was s6 to s10 a week, for B weeks a year averages Many were paid sS a week, and very few got s10. Salaries did not go up until the war, and yon know why, of course. If there is a scarcity of po- tatoes, what do you do? You have to pay more for potatoes. When the war time jobs for women began to come along, wages went up nd many teachers went into work that paid three or four times the teach ing wage. The girls who graduated from high school did not go into the Normal school. They went into the var time jobs, so that for a few years the normal schools had nrettv slim attendance. Soon there was a scarcity of teachers, and what then happened? The salaries went up un- til now they are at least three times what they were before the war. The teaching cost is the biggest item in school costs, and why not? It has to be.
 If you want schools you have to pay the bill. yet schools do not cost as much as some other things. More cigars. cigarettes and tobacco in this country than the cost of all of the schools in the country, Automobiles cost more than the schools. yet we think that we cannot go without our automobiles.
 School houses should be fire proof. They must be freproof. You would not stand for the erection of a new school that was not fireproof This old building is not fireproof, but it is as fireproof as we can make it and as near freproof as any
New Britain herald., 1930-11-11

old building can be. It costs money we demand them. ] When you analyze the problem you will find that we are not paying more for education than it is worth.

important part of the child's educa- ton, even more important than what the child got from the school. To- day times have changed. We get good food in cans. Our clothes are all made for us. We have the radio, automobile, movies and other things that the child of 30 years ago did not have, so the school has to make up the deficiency in education that the home formerly provided.
 T would like to do some things
 as they were done many years ago, but I cannot. If l were to buy a cord of wood to be sawed up, my boy would know that I bought it simply that he might have to saw it. When I was a boy, we had to saw the wood, and accepted the job as T
 part of our regular work.
 ''Ir~we want the child of today 10 get this other kind of education we must supply the deficiency in the schools. We must bring up the child to be intelligent and to know about the things in this very complicated world of today.
 "The business man then says, Admitting that this is true, you do not turn out a very good product today. The girls and boys do not seem to know very much after they leave school
 Tt is hard 10 say much about tha+ Tho nusipnss man should how ever, think of this. The school can not pick it's material. The state says that all children must go to school, so we have to take them all, some slow. some quick, some tall some short, some blue-eyed: we have to have the whole 57 varieties. We cannot expect to turn out a uni | form product. The manufacturer 1 has the same material to use Tn
 making his product, and can turn out the same product day after day When he gets through with his ma terial he turns out a coffee pot ex- actly like the rest of the coffee pots l that he makes.

berg said that had the fire occurred during the day, the building could have | , em1t.ed in five minutes. He stated that fire drills are held at the school and the children are drilled to vacate the building in short order. Mr. Crusberg also stated that he was hopeful of a larger au- ditorium in the new building.
 Mrs. Jane E. Barker, nutritionist in the local schools, spoke on Food For Children" She stressed the inn rortance of giving children the right kind of food and urged the mothers present 10 use variety in feeding their children. Mrs Bark CT also said that it was necessary to have regular hours for meals She emphasized the many advantages to be obtained from giving vegeta bles to children.
 Mrs. Barker advised mothers 10 give their children plenty of milk, at least one pint a day. She stated that it was not necessary to make the child drink a pint of the liquid
 but that it could be served with foods, such as cereal Milk, stated Mrs Barker, helps to keep the bodies of children properly nour- ished and fed. She warned her lis tcners against over feeding. saying that a child can be overweight but still under nourished
 If the mothers If any of tho Smith school children were una ble to give them the proper amount of milk because of the lack of funds. they should notify Principal Mary C. German who would see that they were supplied. Mrs. Barker stated.
 Miss Estelle G. Cuddy, director of physical education in the elemen- tary grades, also spoke and used for her topic. Exercise For Health, ' She urged mothers to encourage their children to- assume proper posture when sitting down and while walking. In classes, according to Miss Cuddy, children have the tendency to sit on about two inches of their chairs although they are very roomy and made especially for comfort. She requested mothers not to lay any particular emphasis on any one fault such as the chest, abdomen, etc, but on posture in general The complete program was as fol- lows:

 The entire responsibility for the loss to society of wayward boys was laid at the doors of their parents by Judge Morris D. SaXe at a meeting of the Camp School Parents and Teachers association last night.
 He told the gathering that he was undecided on what topic he would talk until yesterday morning when
 he was called by Miss Ruth Bristoll. probation officer, and asked to sit at q special court session for two boys who did not appear in juvenile court Saturday.
 Judge SaXc said the boys had been of good character but through negligence were left to live reckless and careless lives. He gave them many opportunities to reform but they did not take advantage of his consideration and finally he was forced against his will to send the boys to the reform school, It was the speakers contention that few boys go wrong if the par ents guide them and advise them at the right time. Many parents fall down on the job" Judge Saxe de- cldred.
 The only salvation for boys whose home influence is not of the best IS their interest in church work, the Boy Scouts or boys clubs, according to Judge Saxe. He said interest in these organizations keep the boys from planning trouble and is the hand that reaches out and saves the boys.
