Learn Foundation Stroke of Tennis To explain to a Doy Jhe funda mental principles of the • tennis strokes, a good way is to stand him in front of a wall, give him a tennis ball, and ask him to bat it up against the wall a few times with his naked hand. Anyone who is tested thus will nearly always meet the ball fairly and fully as it is falling, so that it strikes on the palm of the hand, as one comes forward dt the ball, with the palm almost as flat as the top of a table, but, of course, inclined a lit tle towards the wall. Simple as this exercise seems, it is nevertheless of great importance, for it is the foun dation stroke in tennis, so far as re gards the ground game or balls that are played after hitting the ground. Now suppose that the ball had landed. ,The rebound would come off a perfectly flat surface. If that surpace were tilted up toward the wall, the ball would tend to bound back toward the wall, as I showed in connection with one's hand. Now one's hand, open and in po sition to play the ball, is. in effect, if cut off with about half the forearm, a racket. Why is it that so many beginners forget this and neglect to play the ball naturally with the racket, which is only an artificial production of the same shape which they always use naturally, to wit, the hand and arm? —By P. A. Valle in The American Boy. THE FILIPINO AND HIS LITTLE BROWN" BROTHER One of the important questions in giving self-government to the Fili pinos is whether they will treat the non Christian tribes, who number one-eighth of the population, with fairness and liberality. I asked Mr. Quezon whether good treatment for the non Christian tribes 'could be looked for if the Filipinos get their independence. He based his pro phecy for the future on the present performances of the Philippine As sembly. "We are treating them well," he said. "It is a matter of pride with us to do so. In the matter of ex penditures we are more liberal in our treatment of them than wo are in providing for the Christian Fili pinos. In the Senate, Hadji Butu can get almost anything he asks for, as the Filipinos are determined to treat the Moros not only with Jus tice but with liberality. The prob lem of the non Christian tribes, which was for so many years Amer ica's problem, will become our problem, and we realize that the best and quickest way to solve it is to treat the non Christian races as well or better than the Filipinos themselves. Our present attitude is a testimony to our future action." Governor General Harrison and General Hall, who is at the head of the constabulary, both think that the non Christian triberf are getting fair treatment at the hands of the Filipinos. It is needless to say, however, that such work as has been done by some of the American gov ernors among the tribesmen of the Mountain province, Mindanao and Sulu can hardly be loked for from the Filipino for many years to come. The pioneer work has, however, been done, and there is a strong probability that peace and good will may be the order of the new day in the Philippines.—Maynard Owen Wllll&ms in the Christian Herald.
