 Allen wisely recommends that the baskets be lowered for high school boys, and be made still handler in grade schools.

Dempsey Didn't Need John I.'s Mallet

 Peter Maher, the ignited Ish- man who accommodated the best for IT years, met Tom Johnson and Frenchy Keller. tough South of Market warrior and one of the foremost trial-horses of his day, in scheduled four-rounders in San Francisco on the same night in 1893. Johnson, much in pub lie esteem as the result of sur- prisingly hard battle he gave the great Peter Jackson, went out in the first heat.
 In the old six-round days in Philadelphia, Jack Blackburn, phenomenal negro lightweight, made practice of facing six op- ponents for round apiece. Al though many were heavyweights. the comparatively few who stayed three minutes almost invariably walked out on their heels.

 CHILDREN

Bruce Barton tells in q mag asIne article how he learned to make "2's" when he started to school. When, with much travail. he mastered the curly pig-tail, 1t was his first mental victory" And he compares his pride of achievement to the newer methods of education In use that start out with play and sort effort for time to create in a sort of spontaneous combustion, so to speak.
 TO tell the truth, am right with him on this question, How and when will the children In the extreme type of experimental schools gain their mental victor. ics''? By playing and building, romping and visiting until effort to achieve bursts right out in an orgy of worK7
 I doubt 1t.
 Duties to Be Done
 On this little ball on which we live, there is n joker in the deck, q bogey in the woodpile, and an ant in the honey. The word Is effort"
 Each day there are mental and physical hurdles to jump. Each day we have to learn a new mean ing of the words, must be done." No one knows the value of play with children better than I. It Is particularly valuable in tho early training of tho young because through play attitude" dozen sermons will be absorbed and rec tained.
 Not only that but the desire to learn can best be aroused by gain. ing interest in tho object to be studied, or the thing to be worked out. There is no objection Oh my part whatever to the plan of show ing q child real COW and thon having him take Q pencil and de- scribe 1t instead of getting his knowledge from m illustration In book--and no prejudice against a child playing store, making change, then putting down q prob- lem in profit or loss on paper, be- cause ho has handled real apples and real money on the school counter.
 on tho contrary I think 1t . grand Idea. ,
 Preparing for the World
 But here's the point. All through life he will have to do work ho k NOT interested in. Every day he will have "must's" to lick without any preamble of interest. As long as he breathos, he will have routine, dry-as-dust labor, absolutely unemotional, tearing jobs to do, unrelated to any play.nttitudo or spontan- eous enthusiasm whatsoever.
 This Is why believe tho ox- tremigt school needs to have a cnre. some such educators insist that this sense of responsibility comes later. When? Does tho advent of adolescence bring n work obsosslon? If 70, have mover soen it to happen. Almost tho contrary. In fact, it is during theso lntor years that 1ne enrly habits seem to lie dormant. to re. awaken in tho twentleS with n ynwn md shake. Dream years don't contribute much to abstract effort. Tho truth is that young children do have to Do taught to work nnd liko 1t, before they nrc old enough to think too much about their hard lot.
 am for tho progressive school, but 1t should recognize limits and anticipate needs. Tho person who can't work until no is bursting with enthusiasm is like q sky. rocket In n store. Uscless---unloss Bomo ono gives him push. Ho will novor generate offort In him. i self.

One of the best desserts to serve with a vegetable dinner is custard. That's because the chief ingredients are eggs and milk, two excellent sources of complete protein.
