necessary to make good standing in

this method the ?riter baa seen boys

very efficient students. He could give
concrete examples,, but he feels that
this is unnecessary- if athletics c-an

Have you ever attended in inter

soon athletics wir. be growing in his

interested.
After he has become interested the
teacher should secure the best pos
sible equipment. This point should
be carefully noted. If ycu give a
boy a cheap, dull knife and tell him
to do some fancy wood carving, you
? will never receive the article request

t a poor inefficient tool. For this rea

thought in other word*, good equip
