have begun to earn money for themselves. One dollar 

 a year is a small fee, but it is a large sum for a school- 

 boy and for many college students. The league must 

 get the boys, and many of them will join if the right 

 terms are offered. 



HUNTING WITH A CAMEBA 



If hunting with a gun is against your taste, then 

 hunt with a camera. You can then shoot in your yard 

 and in city parks, you can hunt at any time of the year, 

 and you will never need to harm any living creature. 

 Hunting with a camera calls for even greater zeal and 

 endurance than hunting with gun and rifle, and is an 

 outdoor sport that cannot be too highly recommended 

 to girls and ladies as well as to men and boys. 



The average American men are as strong and as 

 robust as the men of any European nation. It has 

 been doubted by people who have had opportunities for 

 observing that the average American woman is as 

 strong as her European sister. Our boys practice all 

 kinds of sports and athletics, our girls are too much 

 confined to an indoor life. 



Let them accompany their brothers and friends into 

 woods and fields and experience the buoyancy of rough- 

 ing it. There can be nothing unwomanly in hunting 

 with a camera. 



See: H. S. Salt. "Animals' Rights." The Macmillan Com- 

 pany, New York and London. The author condemns hunting 

 entirely. He says, " The sportsman being, in the great majority 

 of instances, a man of slow perception, he naturally finds it much 

 easier to follow the hounds than to follow an argument."
