T I-I E TATLER 29 ATHLETICS. A healthy interest in clean athletic sports is fostered by the school. Mr. Barradell is the efficient coach for base ball and foot ball teams and all kinds of field day events. Miss Reppert directs the physical culture work for the girls. A spacious gymnasium (80 feet by 30 feet) affords ample opportunity for work along these lines. ENCOURAGEMENT FROM CITIZENS. Not a few citizens of Alton are inclined to help young men and women through school by offering opportunities for earning board while attending school. Pupils arc in school this year who could not otherwise obtain the advantages of a High School education. The principal will be glad to give his personal attention to securing such opportunities for pupils if they will apprise him of their wishes. HIGH SCHOOL INSPECTORS.

Bechtel, who made a visit of inspection in February, said: “In all my work I have not inspected a High School where the spirit of work pervades the entire student body more than in the Alton High School.” Professor Hollister, of the University of Illinois, visited the High School in April and at the close of the day’s inspection said: “There is not in Illinois a High School better prepared to do efficient work than the Alton High School.
