There is much discussion concerning the place of extracurricular activities in modern education. It is true that when a student is engaged in activities such as debating, other types of public speaking, and all kinds of athleticssomething usually is neglected and generally it is the regular school work. On the other hand, one engaging in these outside activities comes in contact with life in a different way which promotes poise, skill, and companionship. He learns how to play the game of life squarly. A knowledge of the vorld--that which the world teaches us--is the substance of all knowledge. No matter what ideas we attain, or how we came by them, they all need illustration by experience. This experience comes first through the different activities of the school. John Bascons of Williams College once said, ’ hat we term education is made up of a few antecedent suggestions in books which we are to verify by experience. Tennis Has a Birthday New York, N.Y., (Ar3)—Lawn tennis was 50 years old in this country this year, and the United States Lawn Tennis Association celebrated the anniversary by publishing a memorial volume, Fifty Years of Lawn Tennis in the United States. The took deals with tennis history, discusses strokes, footwork, strategy, and outlines the careers of such tenr.is geniuses as Johnson, Tilden, and Helen Wills. Of a large edition priced originally at a few hundred remaining copies are offered to high school students at j)l plus 25 cents postage. The U.S.L.T.A. address is 120 Broadway, New York City
