This latest ad- junct of the school of education will be devoted, we are told, to en- larging the opportunities of the staff for research work in the ele- mentary school curriculum and pre-primary education. But the apotheosis of clinical work in ped- agogy has seldom shown such ear- marks of subverting the primary Interests of the children thus ex- posed to experimentation as the present undertaking. Great pride is obviously evinced in the facilities for training of teachers and supervisors of special subjects which are offered by the new several nundred thousand dol- 0------ SBLOOD 15 STILL RED. i In these days of huge modern I baseball grandstands, even larger football stadiums, and bleachers of . every sort to accommodate the throngs who wish to witness ath- letic contests, an idea has become prevalent that Americans are be- coming a race of "fans" and merej spectators. This notion has been dissipated by Dr. Julius Klein, of the Department of Commerce, in a recent address. Dr. Klein's figures are most en- lightening. Although professional sports overshadow amateur activi- ties, just as college football ob- scures other forms of similar ath- letics, 75 per cent of the student body engage in athletics. Football, of course, foots the bill for the others. The golf, tennis, baseball, handball, basketball players, and the swimmers, ifencers, hunters,I and fishermen far outnumber the' spectators who are severally count- ed many times in the total attend- ance for a season of professional i sport.1 Golf, predominately an amateur) sport, numbers 500,000 devoteesj who play on 5,000 courses with a total area of 250,000 acres which cost $750,000,000 and are maintain- ed at an average annual expense of $21,000. They give employment toI 15,000 people the year round, be-I sides seasonal attendants. Public parks and recreation cen-1 ters in 2,000 cities provide 7,000 groups of tennis courts, 4,000 base- ball diamonds, and 1,000 swimming pools. Municipal leagues embrace1 700,000 players. On the business side, sports arej not to be sneered at. The manu- factured output runs to $175,000,- 000 with a payroll of 33,000 em- ployees. The retail trade employs 10,000 people at salaries aggrega- ting $20,000,000 a year, while theI turnover is $250,000,000. These statistics would seem to indicate that there is still plenty of red blood in the veins of the American people and that they likej to get out under the sun and do 'things themselves. Some may pre- fer the peculiarly sedentary pur- suits, but by far the largest major- ity would rather perspire on the athletic. fields than see someone; else doing it. } noone can tell-if the letter is written on Old Hampshire station- ery-for it gives an almost presi- dential dignity to the message it carries. Whether your letter is to the family at home, to some ofyour tradesmen or purveyors- or to your very best girl, Old Hampshire adds a distinct tone, for it is rich, substantial, smart-it has the rich texture, the crisp crackle of the truly aristocratic paper. 1-tmpshire Paper Co.
