Getting Ready for Track Sleet. -
The boys and girls of the high school
are certainly proud of the men on the
track team. It seems as though they
brought home from Middlebury just about
everything that was worth bringing.
Keen competition, however, on the part
oz the opposing teams made the victory a
little harder to walk off with than it has
been in former years.
The team has been working earnestly
since the Sliddlebury meet and when our
visitors come here Saturday, Slay 27,
there will be a real battle for certain
positions. Brattleboro stayed out of
some of the events and thus gave her
opponents the impression that she must
be weak in the dashes, but this only en
couraged the up-state teams and it will
be a decided jolt to them if B. II. S.
walks away with some of the events
which they feel sure will be their own.
The boys have made a fine start this
year in adding to their splendid collec
tion of trophies won . in athletic battles.
There are two more meets and we hope
two more victories for us. Keep up in
your studies, boys, so that we may not
be handicapped in the coming meets, and
everyone in the high school hopes you
will come through with all the honors
next week Saturday.
Come on, seniors! Show your artis
tic skill by drawing the Year Book cover
design.
We have been defeated in threee base
ball games. You know the old saying,
"Three times and out," so there must be
a victory fr us Saturday!

Leaning ankles, runover heels, bulging counters are
danger signals. This heel distortion is the cause, not the
result, of other foot troubles.
The weakened heel bones lean either inward or out
ward, twisting the intricate foot structure out of line.. Un
less corrected, serious trouble follows.
This condition can be corrected by our foot expert,
who is trained in the

System ffo5f Correction
He will quickly detect the cause of your trouble and
provide instant and permanent relief. This is but a part
of our shoe service of keeping feet looking well and feel

Boards of 1922 and 1923 Enjoy Outing at
Spofford Lake.
The members of The Dial boards of
1022 and 1023 went to Spofford lake
Tuesday afternoon on their annual pic
nic. - They were very fortunate in secur
ing the privilege to use the Simonds- cot
tage and several boats for the afternoon.
Supper consisted of frankfurters, sand
wiches, olives, cold drinks, ice-cream and
cake. After supper the "Dialers" gath
ered around the lire and joined in songs
and cheers. Several of the editors gave
impromptu speeches thanking the juniors
for their kindness in arranging the picnic.
Judging from the enthusiastic applause
which met these speeches, the picnic was
a great success. The committee for The
Dial picnic was Helen Dalrymple, Ruth
Iteed, Pauline Shaw, Alice lioyden and
Howard Aplin. Miss Monroe chaperoned
the "party. '

SOCIAL SCIENCE CHANGES.
Department Brought in Line with Recent
Requirements of N: E. A.
The social science department is mak
ing some changes to bring the department
in line with the most recent requirements
of the National Education association.
The aim is to put more emphasis on the
modern period, but at the same time to
give the pupil all the rest of the history
that a well-balanced curriculum will per
mit because the roots of the present ex
tend as far back as the history of, man
is known. The more we know about our
pa;;t as a race, the better we can under
stand our present problems. The first
course, then, given in the sophomore year,
traces the main lines of development from
earliest times to 17S0. This is called
Introduction to " History. The next
courses lead from that time down to the
present, one treating" modern European
history, the other American. The com
mercial course provides for American
history in the junior year so that eco
nomics may be taken the senior year.
Other courses arrange for modern Euro
pean history for juniors and American
problems for seniors. This program,
with community civics for all freshmen,
gives a well-rounded course in social sci
ence. :

DELAY FOR COACHING rLAN.
New England Colleges Will Be Slow in
Applying New System.
WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass., May 10.
AHhought the plan for making drastic
changes in the present' coaching systems,
including faculty appointments for
coaches, as was recommended at the re
cent conferences of college presidents of
New England, appears to have met with
general favor, the chances are that the
new system will not go into ellect for
some time to come. Before it is for
mally adopted, the governing boards of
the various colleges must take action.
It is also understood that the plan will
not conflict with any contracts with
coaches existing at the present time.
From William J. Locke's Famous Story, "An Old World Romance"
Barbara Westover, blind from childhood, had never seen her baby or her
husband. Then an operation was performed and one dajMier sight was re
stored. She looked upon her baby irT eestacy, and then . . . . It is mother
love in its highest and most exquisite sense the climax to this remarkable
picture is too brave to be revealed here. Come and see it.
