The teachers who accompany high
ichool ball teams when they go off
o play ball do their very best for

heir care. They do everything in
cason to make the boys drive earo
ully and at a moderate rate. Their

cachers are careful and watchful for
the welfare of their boys. A pretty
good rule weuld be for parents to
