THE EARLY STAGES OF BASKETBALL Each team at first consisted of from nine to fifty players; Association football used and goals were peach baskets; main features of game determined in 1894. ■

When Dr. Nafsmlth devised basket-1 ball, teams were made up of from nine to fifty players per team—as many as ' could move about in the playing space. It was apparent that tackling blocking would be dangerous elements for an indoor game, therefore running with the ball was prohibited,' thus making tackling unnecessary. An association footbaJl was used and the goals were pea< h baskets fastened to the wall or gallery at either end of the court, at a height of ten feet from the floor. The ball could be batted or thrown In any direction ami a goal was made when the ball entered and remained in the basket. When either team made three consecutive fouls, a goal was scored for the opponents unless the latter had made a foul in the meantime. Naturally the first experiences with the game indicated ways in which it could The improved. For instant e, it was seen that teamwork was impeded whan tod many players were used which led to limiting the number to nine on a side, the players being designated m follows: home or center forward, right and left wings, center, and two side centers, goalkoupcr and wo guards. Soon after, the site of, tho floor determined the numlier of players: five, seven, or nine on a side for courts containing 1,800 square feet or less, or more than 3.800 feet, : respectively. About a year late r the j number was fixed at five per teain and has so remained. Another odd feature of tlie game | at first was the method of putting the I

I ball in play. Players were lined up • at opposite ends of the court, the officials tossed the- ball into the middle of the playing space, whereupon the* players rushed for the ball. About | two years later the present method of putting rtie ball into play was devised. At approximately the same time the size of the basket ring and of the ball were standardized and the free throw system in practically its present form was adopted. By 1594 the main features of the game, were determinc'd, being little* different from those' of the game of the present day. There are critics who say that too many changes are made in basketball rules, but a careful analysis of the facts shows that fundamental changes have* been few; that tho gam<> of 1X94 has been modified very little; that the changes, as they affec't the playing of the game, have been relatively unimportant. There have been no changes as revolutionary as the adoption of the forward pass in football or as radical as the foul-strike rule in baseball. This is especially remarkabh' in view of the fact that basketball was d- vised more or less on the <spur of the moment i That it could bo brought into being | almost overnight, could be standardized after not mote than three years of experimentation, and yet win im- | mediate and widespread popularity—- ! these facts stamp basketball as a woni derful game in the field of cc>ni|*eti- , tire athletics, and its Inventor as one of thy great geniuses in the annuals I of athletic achievement.

You will be thrilled by the poasibll- ■ Itle* for better rural life promised In the new measure for rural school* now pending before the New lork legislature, It alms to provide even heller ixluealtonal opportunities In poor country district* than the wealthiest city offers to pupil* in It* affluent school*’ All this is to be done at even less cost to rural taxpayer* than their present system of Inadequate schools. You will be even more Impressed wh<n you reallte that the principles Involved may be adapted to your own state, in due time, when you join with I other clllxena In urging progress along

similar lines. For with better schools, hotter i homes, bettor farming, electricity and machinery making work easier, radio universally supplehientlng telephone and mails, with good highways and railroads and shipways serving at reasonable rates, with associated effort in social and civic' affairs, as well as in selling and buying, glorious indeed is the future of rural life! First, tho new plan rests upon the sound principle that it Is the state’s : ac red duty to provide equality of opportunity in education for country and town. And this, even though the wealth of cities has to be taxed to bear part of the cost of good schools in rural districts, so that the part of their cost which the rural taxpayer must provide shall come within his tax is 3 to 5 per cent upon the total means. In some rural townships, the school valuation of all property, in one place 12 per cent yet produces funds insufficient for even poor schools, while in cities a tax of a few mills may yield ! a princely revenue for palatial schools, i In New York state, nearly nine-tenths of the taxable wealth is in cities, so 1 that of the proposed state tax of nine i to twelve million dollars annually for J rural education, about seven-eights' will come from taxes upon property in cities and towns, only one eighth from property in rural regions. Yet this is only fair, just, right. The town thus is enabled to pay back part of its debt to the country, upon which the town relies for existence. In- • crease in population, wealth, culture I' and attractiveness of cities? with corresponding decrease in rural districts, •’ testify to a favoritism toward town ' over country which must be corrected 1 if the Republic is to endure. 1 The wisdom of this principle is self-evident, fundamental, though the I ’’ details of its application are subject I '* to adjustment. Yet New York prob- ' ably is the first state In the union s which proposes to act with full right- , eousness toward rural education. e Since all wealth, all material well bee ing. are the product of soil and toil, f it is only just that the whole state s contribute fairly for rural schools. p Each state must do this for itself, .. instead of waiting supinely for sot called “federal aid.” ; I The second new a nd startling, but right and sound, feature of the New s York plan is to apportion state aid to rural schools upon the basis of the teacher. In setting up this principle, ~ the New York plan offers the fairest I and simplest unit possible for rural p school finance. pl The true value of all taxable prope erty in the state of New York averages about J.'tOo.oOo for each teacher emt ployed in the public schools. In some , rural regions this value may be as little as 330,000. In the latter case, g therefore, rural taxpayers would supp ply only ame tenth of the money required to support their good schools, . ‘ the other nine-tenths coming from the 1. 1 state treasury. „ j The total school tax—local and , state—to be paid by the rural dweller, probably will be even less than he , now pays. But whereas he now gets only poor schools and meager educational facilities for his children, under the new plan his children will en-l joy the best of teachers and the best ’ of methods. And thirdly, tho new plan therefore ■ rests squarely upon the profound truth ' f that the vital factor in all aducation : l ' is the teacher! t . Be the schoolhouse good, bad, large, I t or small, well or poorly equipped, a 1 well trained “natural o<rn” teacher r will accomplish wondc-s in educating r ’ and developing the p tpils. On the I r other hand, no matte- how costly or fully equipped the building, pupils w ’ may get relatively little from the 4 school if the teacher is incompetent. . The one-teacher school foa primary . nnd elementary grades needs • the most competent instructor, bo- : cauM such little school Is closest to • the pupils themselves and to the on- ■ vironment In which they live. Here Is rtie beginning of education, and the . art must b« right. Pupils who are started right can , survive poor teachers in the upper grades, but children started wrong in ( the primary and lower grades by Incompetent leat hers may never quite >: recover front such handicap. This is ■ one reason why rural pupils may not be as adyancml educationally as urI ban children of the same age also why ruralltrx often fall to keep up • with their class when they reach the | city high schools. I Best of ail la the fourth and most , hopeful fa<t that, with the ability to . employ and r> tain well qualified teach , era. the rural school will then he rn ! üblvd to make the moat of Ita un , rivaled educational advantages. For. mark my words: The rural ( school possesses. In the homes and ! kitchens, farms and gardens of its I nupih. unsurpassed opportunities whereby pupils may "learn to do by I doing." The environment of the rural ( school la most favorable to developing ( in Its pupils rugged bodies, sturdy minds, strength of will, firmness of t purpose. All these Influences tend !

to rovcnl or bring out tho "natural a bent" of boys and girls, so that—ln addition to general culture—they mny be trained along the linos of their natural capacity. No city school, however costly its buildings and laboratories, cun compare with these God-given attributes of the country school. And these attributes are rigiit at hand, free of cost, for the teacher who knows how to co-1 ordinate their use with the book studies and other activities within the school room itself. The teacher qualified to make the most of all the unique possiblities of the rural school, will aid pupils in self-development, mental growth, physicial and spiritual well being, to such an extent that children and youth ’ will be inspired to make the most of themselves. Parents will respond quickly to such! ' work. With a little directing, mothers and fathers will see how easily and interestingly their own efforts with their own children may hitch up farm and home with school. Thus all three will supplement each other in helping youth onward and upward. Community school districts are provided in the New York bill, composed of such present rural school districts as naturally group themselves around a common center. Voters in each present little local school district elect their representative to the community board of education, and decide for themselves whether they want an ungraded, graded or consolidated school. There must be a community high school, not merely for academic work, but also for technical studies in agriculture, industry, commerce, organization and co-operation. To popular control is added intelligent supervision. State aid extends to repair and 1 construction of schoolhouses. Rut administration details, though important, are petty compared to the ■ really big and new factor first established in this pending bill: Thus rural schools may obtain and retain teachers thoroughly competent to make the utmost use of the remarkable advantages for elementary education afforded by the rural school—whether primary, ungraded, graded, consolidated or high school. Then such teachers will stay on the job for years, their work constantly improving in efficiency, whereas now about two out of every three rural teachers in New York state change places yearly, I and even half the trustees are new ' each year. No farm, no business. coul<k stand I the changes and deficien< ies which; havf* disgraced our rural teacher in ! 20 even in the wealthy state of New j York, has had M little as two years’ training for the most important work ' in human development—teaching chil-1 dren. The situation in other states may be still worse, yet may be corrected by these methods. — o Handmade frocks of georgette crepe are suggested for street wear in the fashionable summer collections.
