MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. ON THE CANADIAN PRAIRIE NEW ERA IN SCHOOL ATHLETICS INAUGURATED AT ERASMUS HALL directed as. to Its ultimate destination it will mechanically follow its owners the "check" system being something which they are blissfully Ignorant. Re might be done for the girls it taey could be Induced to get into the field as the boys do.

Our own gymnasium Instructor, Miss Katherine Campbell, became entlui- slastic over the project, and when the matter of introducing out-door sports for the girls was brought to the attention of the educational heads over in Manhattan we found them interested and open to suggestion. We pointed out that the girls in the high schools took their exercise in the gymnasium, if at all. Indoor gymnasium work does not induce out-door athletics. "Field hockey seemed to be the Ideal game for girls. It had the advantage of Its long popularity with the schoolgirls of England, which not only testified to its satisfying pleasure as a recreation, but also to its adaptability to girls.

Each field requires twenty-two girls, and this large number Is In Itself a great advantage. We no sooner proposed the game to the heads of the physical training department in Manhattan than with alac- rity they responded by. sending over Miss Elizabeth Burchenal. director of the Girls Public Schools Athletic League. Burchenal was enthusiastically in favor of forming hockey clubs In the schools and gave us our first talk on the! game about a month ago.

Since that tiraej school. We hope to have hundreds ot Miss Burchenal has been coaching our girls playing next fall. once a week and has succeeded arousing a great deal of enthusiasm for fc and uh-ls and women In 'the game. Miss Burchenal was one of the! first pupils turned out bv Miss Constance by our teachers and some have already Applebee. who brought girls' hockey movement among them 'the i Misses Barber, Gunnison.

Campbell and England some eight years ago, introduced Thn it at assar anu is now leaciimg io me girls of Bryn Mawr College. "One obstacle in the way of the game was the need of a field on which to play. Hockey, you know. Is an open game, and the players get a chance to take a good run with the bails. So a field of considerable-extent is needed, and there is no such spot in the immediate vicinity of the school.

We took the matter up with Comissioner Kennedy, of the Park De partment, after going over the en round very carefully, has notified' Dr. Gunnison he has placed at the disposal of the school the old Archery 8r0uni1 Prospect Park. This is at the Ninth street entrance. Prospect Park West, and is admirable in every nay, being a long and fairly wide, flat space surrounded bv trees, truly a delightful spot. We are very deeply under obligation -to the park commissioner for his kindness giving us the place.

"It will be but a short time now before we get out for practice. We1 are well supplied with the Applebee hockey sticks and the hard rubber balls adapted to the game, and -we have had some preliminary practice in a quiet way. It haB seemed best to Miss Katherine Campbell and myself to make a carefful selection of the ANEW era In athletics for high school girls may be said to be at hand, if certain plans now under consideration prove as feasible as those interested anticipate. The initial test will be made at Erasmus Hall. For some mouths Miss Kate Turner, assist ant principal of Erasmus, has pondered over the problem, how to get a better out-door training for the girls of tho great school in Flatbush.

She was one of the fifty teachers sent abroad some months ago lo see how things were done In the English schools. Many teachers have returned with a full appreciation of the points of difference between the methods of education there and those in use here. Miss Turner came back impressed with the importance of this outdoor training and keenly alive to its possibilities as a factor in the physical development of the American girl. "In England women must get out Into the open," she said to a representative of The Eagle a day or two ago. "The splendid health of the English woman is not due to accident, but is the logical result of her living so much out of doors.

For a long time It has been the custom of the English woman to exer- cise the open air. She walks, rides and hunts, and she has the rosy heal.h that eomes from such a mode of living. "While was in Engiand I was im pressed with the popularity of field hockey 'with girls. At one school I aw five acres of English girls in one field -playmg hockey. Their faces were flushed wi'h exercise and their-eyes- were dancing like sunlight', 'and 'the spur of health could be -detected in their-every movement.

of movement was second only to strong arms, good lungs, Hie spirit'of health and the ability to enjoy a good outdoor game. The sight was an inspiring one. and It made me long for just this thing for the giris in my own school, who, for some reason, had lojt the knack of living and exercising in the open air. Our American city girls lo not know how to play. I returned with a strong purpose to teach the' girls of Erasmus Hail that the way to real hap- PineSS and the Sure rnarl in through health, and that the onlv snr'e road to health was by way of sunshine fresh air and out-door exercise.

Our girls are not different from the girls of England in this matter of loving exercise. The trouble has been that our city girls have had no place to play in. Outdoor sports-that are ihe English girl'3 by lnheritarice draw them into the field and create a love of exercise that makes for health and happiness. "Dr. Gunnison became interested in the subject, and saw the great good that NEW THINGS NOT content with the variety of fer- neries and flower holders already on! the market, the dealers in novelties are constantly tempting the woman who likes "something new and something different" to loosen her purse strings and secure the latest fancy.

MISS JERRY'S PREDICTIONS GUID FOR YOUNU ACTRESS A predictron from 'the lips of a great actress, spoken wlt.h a degree of authority which mndo it almost oracular, has been for years The Kuilding star in thn life of Beatrica Irwin, an English actress who now one of the leading parta in "Her Sou," tiro new play whicH is to hay Kb first production In Brooklyn to-morrow. Some years ago, Miss Irwin 14 years old, she a taken before Ellen Terry to repeat tLj recitations which had attracted attentive to her ability in school. "You will be a successful actress or you will write a great book," said Terry after heating the girl speak Lei pieces and talking with her for a te-j minutes. "But go back to school.

Don neglect your education. Go to college. When you have completed your course come to me again, if you think then that the stage is your career." Miss Irwin never forgot the prediction of tho great actress. She followed the ad. vice, completed her school course, went to Cheltenham College, the largest college for women in England, and was graduated with an Oxford degree of as- Beatrice Irwin.

Sir Henry Irving at the time was organizing a company to tour America, and the college graduate was given an opportunity to ip.lay ingenue roles. She made the tour with Irving and -Miss Terry, scored successes in all her roles, and thus entered upon a stage career which has Included many of tho most prominent productions of recent years in this country, Great Britain and Australia, and even one performance In Shanghai. Now that Miss Irwin has made secure her place upon the stage and those who have seen the rehearsals or "Her son predict great things of her work in her new role she is endeavoring to accom plish the necontl.

In other ways the calm assumption that because a thing Is done in a certain way In Englaud, there fore it Is done in the same way in "thi colonies" is evidenced, to the great dis illusionment and more or less discomfort of the two sisters. When they arrive in the northwestern country, they meet the brother, only to find that he is ripe to throw up the "shack," and abandon everything: for he is heartily sick or the job, and decidedly Is not of the fiber out of which successful settlers are made.

It is only the decision of the older sister, who realizes what a disappointment such a failure will bo to the far-away parent in England, that resolves on an effort to push the thing through. So back they go to the' prairie ranch, and the narrative pro ceeds with their adventures there. Nothing wonderful happens; the account given boars the Impress of realism because It is exactly what might be expected to happen to a group of people who have gone out into a new country with very vague ideas. as to what is required to achieve success who are not equipped, either with knowledge, or. as happens to be the case in this Instance, with either industry or energy.

The brother is an idler, with no liking tne rough life of the frontier: hi partner is simply unutterably lazy, "and neither of them has any ambition. The only person in'Oie" group of four has energy is-the 'older tens, tne stony; but; for Jiel' insistence the experiment would speedily have been abandoned. She -gives, of now Bne managed, how she, stimulated the brother to undertake the prairie breaking that was essential to holding the claim, now she made Journeys to the frontier town on the businoss. of the ranch. bought supplies, and generally played part of the business director of the en terprise.

Tho younger sister, who had some training as a nurse, thought there wouldn be the slightest difficulty in her getting first-class employment in her profession in Winnipeg; surely a Lon don" nurse would be sought for, and as she was heartily tired of the ranch life, off she goes to Winnipeg, and promptly discovers that "London" endorsements are of no more value in Winnipeg than any other kind and takes to doing -some sort of housework for a time. Finally, she writes home to her father and gets' a draft to. pay her return passage. The narrative concludes with a plunge on the part of the author, who buys a farm for $5,000, with a wheat crop nearly ready to harvest, and the book leaves her gathering the golden sheaves. The reader ac quires considerable respect for sthis plucky woman, who displays something of tho qualities of which frontier women are made, and hopes she won out on the farm proposition.

The other three were not worth their passage money. Miss Binnie-Clark is a professional writer, and therefore her book Is well put to gether. She tells an interesting story in a way that will attract her readers, and gives a good idea of life in the new lands of the Cnnodian Northwest.

A couple more may be mentioned, namely, an odd umbrella holder of green glazed china-ware in the form of a big fish with open mouth, and a huge grasshopper, also in china and in natural 'coloring, intended to serve as a shrub or fern holder on the porch.

The book is entitled "A Summer Canada," and gives an account of the adventures of a couple of women, sisters. one of them the author during a recent summer spent on a new breaking, whirh had been taken up by their brother, a young man. who had come out a year or two previously, to make a start in the New World. How much of real perl anil ow of lnclden. gathered from the experiences of others has gone Into the making of the story does not appear, but it would Beem to be a of hannenincs.

Cer- tainly, it Is well calculated to give the English reader "at home," some truthful information with regard to the requirements that are necessary to make a success in taking up the northwestern W'heat lands; also it gives some idea of the sort of "settler" that is needed ii the new adventure is intended to prove a successful venture. The sons of gen tlemen who do not know how io -work: sort who, in the midst of privations are always complaining, and longing for the fleshpots of "London." are not the sort out of which successful farmers, are made in Northwestern Can'add. Also, the. book 'will help the English people to get a glimnse of the fashion in which the are regarded by' the Canadians. Of course, no oue e.pcct3 the English reader to be Influenced by the vciwpotnt set forth In the narrative, or.

to abate one from the self-sufficient- potion -that tlie English view and the way are of necessity right and not to be Improved upon. This delusion comes out often. and in a variety of ways, in our author's narrative. It seems, from the story, that the "pater," in England has been quite taken with the opportunities that tho new land offers for a career, and for making a success in life; so the young hopeful, a young brother, npparently in the middle twenties, has been sent out to take up a farm. Ho has a partner, and it very soon becomes evident that the partner Is if anything, more useless and idle than the youngster.

Land has been taken up, -a start made, 'to the extent of constructing a "shack," and some pretense of getting ready to "farm." The two sisters "come out," to see how things are progressing; one of them, supposed to be the author! who tells her story in the first person, is much the older; the other Is part way through her training as a professional, nurse. The narrative begins with tho. voyage over, and the fun may be said to commence when the two women, both utterly ignorant of the travel' customs in Canada and America, land at Montreal, and prepare for the Western trip. One of their delusions is, that the baggage customs in this country are the same as on an English railroad, that because a package is plainly regulation glass that fits over the top and a novel addition in the form of a little bottle that is inserted In the neck of the decanter.

ADISTINCUISHKD Brooklyn woman who is somewhat past the age of sixty, remarked recently that people between sixt and seventy ought not io be called "aged." She had just read a news paragraph fn a daily paper, in which the public was informed that some sort of accident had befallen "an ago! woman. 60 years of age." The lady -who was speaking did not mind being railed though she considered "elderly" a fitter adjective for those in her special decade.

The question arose. "Just when is it proper to apply the word 'aged'? Are people old wheu they are aged and aged when they are old, or is there a point where a distinction can be made? Some of those present thought that "elderly" described those bet ween sixty and seventy; "old," those between seventy and eighty: and that nobody should he called "aged" until he is past eighty. As for those between fifty and sixly, it was considered thai "middle -a gcd" was the proper term for them. has been observed by those who search out those ladies in the "situations wanied" columns of The Eagle, who describe themselves as "middle-aged." that I liny press hard on the "aged" line; but some latitude must be allowed elderly persons who want work in a world where employers are looking askance at. all who are gray-haired.

In the old days, before false hair and teeth and scientific eyeglasses and modes of living came in, old ngc undoubtedly began, on the average, much earlier than now. Now it is rare to find men or women of seventy unable to keep up their occupations, or luoking haggard and "broken." When one arrives at that stage be is "aged." no matter what may be the number of years. There is a certain Brooklyn lady of I probably thorp are many" o'f ihcml who is ko so alert, so independent and so interested in everything, that nobofly would imagine she was over sixty. It does nor seem possible r.A anybody eoud think of calling her 1 The sensifii-pjirs-K ch generation as it cornrs alonir would those under forty usually laugh in meir sleeves when ihcy sec ilicir elders resent any Insinuation thai they are getting old. They probably resolve that they will not be so silly when their time eomes, but it is ten to one they will be even sillier.

When a thing touches our own sacred, delightful selves it seems very different from the same thing in relation to others. A really aged lady said the other day that she could distinctly remember the first time that it occurred to her that she was growing old. She was getting along toward fifty, and she nd iter husband, who was a year or two nicer, were taking a trip and had stopped jU a tain large village for the night. A hov went up in the elevator with them to show them their room. As started, she heard the clerk say softly to the bov, "Remember the young people go in 12 and the elderly people 22." "Elderly;" Was it possible that she was growing old? She said that she was kept awake half the night by the thought.

It must be remembered that slen.ier-ness is a great help to youliifuiness of appearance, which is one why if is so popular. A stout person alw'jvs looks older than a slim one. Glasses are another contribution to old looks, especially spf It is almost as much of a shock t') children to dud their parents growing old as It is to the parents themselves Some hoys who had made a ball 'earn during a country summer suddenly found themselves in the verge 0f a "great" game with the nine of a nearhv l0'n and temporarily deprive, 1 of the services of their pit, her.

"But isn't it a little rough on the old women?" Inquired the kind-hearted youth thoughtfully.
