On that day he recommends
that whatever subjects have

He is of the opinion that these
should be taken in the churches
and considered by the people in

congress is the creation and
crystalization of intelligent pub-
lic sentiment and activity against

The more we consider school
room discipline, and the' more
we study hnmun nature, and
child nature, especially, the
more we are convinced that it is
not so much the severity of the
discipline that counts, as it il
the manner in which the discip-
len is administered. The teach-
er who can coi&ince the child of
the wrong in disobeying school
room rules and regulations, and
aretes out punishment in keep-
ing with the misdeed, in a calm'
digbified manner, does the child
a deed of kindness, and in most
c^ses will hold the respect of
pupils. On the other hand' the
teacher who flies into a passion,
calls bu miliafcing* names, makes
disparaging remarks and com-
parisons of parents and former
teachers, makes threats to “slap
off the face” or “peel tbev hide”,
4pes yie child a wrong almost
irrepairable, and places- the
teacher in a contemptible posi-
tion in the child’s mind, keeps
the room in a continuous uproar,
and the very end that is sought,
is entirely lost. Even tb£„ most
studious and obedient pupils in
the roqm, see the great barm
that is being done, and resent
the manner, the low insulting
epitaphs applied, and- only the
good training in the home, and
the courtesy of other teachers

H. A- Hankinson, Originator, Tell# O'
Beginning of These Contests.
Team at Dallas Is on
World Tour.
Dallas, Texas—“Auto polo, a nev
game out of the West, ^111 be playet
for the first time in the Southwest lr
ftont of the race tfc&ck grandstand ant
at the coming State Fair of Texas
which opens Saturday, October 18, anc
closes Sunday, November 2,” said Pres-
ident J. J. Eckford yesterday.
“Contract has just been closed for ste
machines and eighteen men, who wil
come to Dallas under the direction of H
A. Hankinson-of Kansas City. Mo., the
originator of the world’s most sensa-
tional sport. It is declared' that this
game takes more harum scarum, dart
devil driving than any sport ever yel
evolved by man, and. the pnthusiasrr
with which it has been greeted by thou-
sands since the initial game in August
1912, assumes something out of the ordi-
nary in an entertainment way at th<
comine fair. • Those who have seen au-
to-polo played declare there is a thril.
every instant during the game and an
extra thrill thrown in for good measurt
every, other instant. ' The drivers thai
Mr. Hankinson will bring to Dallas ar<
master hands and those who know any-
thing of the art of driving an automo-
bile can not fail but marvel at th<
rapiditv wjlth which turns are made.”
Mr. Hankinson, who was in confer-
ence wfith the Fair management prelim,
inary to closing the contract explained
that auto-polo originated in an argu-
ment between two automobile salesmer.
as to which was the superior driver. “A
race between the two salesmen was
suggested,” said Mr. Hankinson, “and
their respective cars were stripped tc
the chassis. In driving over the boule-
vards of Kansas City In search of a
good clear rock road in the country
frete from .obstacles or Interference, a
tin can which lay in the path,of one oi
the driver^ was struck by the front
wheel of his^machinp. The judges ac-
companying the drivers and who wen,
sifting on the running boards of th«
two small racers, began kicking this
can frord one side of vthe road to thi
other, each driver following as accu-
rately as possible, his aim being tc
place his machine in such positior
alongside the can while in motion, thus
offering a good opportunity for his
partner to get*a good kick at the can
This was followed by a game of ole
fashioned shinny it} which the can was
•very much battered and in which the
contestants made a tie as to driving
ability. Thus was .originated what is
now a National sport. The following
day a basket ball and a couple of heavj
mallets wag purchased and ah alfalfa
field was selected as ah arena. ‘ The
thrilling spectacle that resulted con-
vince those present, myself included
in the possibilities of tbe sport.”. ';
After the initial contest daily*practice
exhibitions were beld for a period oi
five months. Various young men were
given opportunities tQ^try out as team-
mates for the drivers, to act as.theii
malieft men. "Manv applicant%for po-
sitions as mallet men were tried oht Ahc
aft^r going through their daily practip*
those who werp more adapted to thi*
form of spert became accustomed to the
awkward and dangerous positions oi
hanging on to the side of a small rac-
ing auto-polo car and wielding a heav$
thr^e-pound mallet while the car was
going at ful^ speed,” said Mr. Hankin-
son. 'Tn Aungust, 1912, the first gamt
drew in Kansas City and the third gamp
drew an attendance of 5,000 people.”
Mt. Haakinson explained that auto- -
polo is played in periods of ten minutes,
each, five periods constituting onp;
game. In the event of a tie score at the
end of the fift^ period, aw extra period
of periods may be^hdded, tmtil one enc
has scored a winning point over theii
opponent. The bdauty. of a contest oi
this sort is that no two games are alike
"Each one is entirely different from the
preceding one,” said Mr. Hankinson
“therefore much snore interesting than
automobile racing, aeroplhning, motor-
cycle racing or in fact most any other! ’
sensational form.'of amusement.”
Several of the original players in
auto-polo are now on a tour of the
world. Eighteen players after making
a tour of the bigTfairS ttf this country
will spend three weeks ifi Cuba, four-
teen weeks in South America, five and
one-half months in Europe, returning
to the United States for one year’s en-
gagement at the Panama Exposition,
Auto-polo games will be played in
front of the grandstand between the
harness and running events. Each pe
Hod will last ten minutes , which will
take up the intermission between the
horse races. There will be something
doing every minute in front of the
grandstand this fall.
