Chicago Educator says II u Used
By Poor studeBta.

Chicago Educator says IL u Used
By Poor Students.
4 have specific statements to the ef-
feet that four high school students had
not completed three-fourths Of the re-
qulred four years regular work when
they were admitted to universities OF
good standing, They We're taken sim
ply because they knew how to play
football
This declaration was made recently
by Superintendent Of Schools Edwin q
Cooley of Chicago. 1t marked the be-
ginning of a struggle on the part Of the
public school authorities to prevent
what they characterized as the demon
alization of high schools by the athletic
associations of universities, says the
Chicago Tribune.
If high school pupil can put up a
good game of football the college au-
thorities with inducements secure the
pupil before he has finished his high
school course. They do this to strength
en- the athletics Of their college," de-
clared Superintendent Cooley. such
action on the part Of college authorities
is an outrage, and at the next college
conference / shall protest against the
practice.
Men who would not have been per-
mitted TO play football on the high
school teams because of their poor
standing are admitted to the colleges
with conditions so they may participate
in the football game. They become ath-
letic stars in college. This has a serious
influence on high school athletics. II
causes decentralization not only Of high
school athletics. but also Of high school
education.
IF the universities are determined &c
let down the bars on the ground that
man is an athlete the man with brains
has an unequal chance, and the strug-
gle in preparatory schools will be for
physical instead Of for mental develop
ment"
Superintendent Cooley explained that
the high school rules had been made SO
strict that member OF an athletic
team is required TO have an average Of
Is per cent or more in his studies on
the day Of the competition or he Will
not be permitted to participate.
1.-THE colleges" he said, stand ON
pedestal and talk of ideals, yet they let
a fellow in whenever they see fit just
because he is a good kicker or a good
ground gamer
President Harris characterized this
practice as "reprehenslble" and de-
clared the board would take action TO
stop IT.

Salt Lake City, Dec. Especial dis
patches from the coal mining centers
in Carbon state that the serving Of
eviction notices upon striking miners
who are occupying property Of the coal
companies has created an ugly feeling
among the Italian strikers at Clear

fear that trouble will result and have
prepared the troops for any emergency

Had it not been that they felt sure he
would never come they would have
kept watch for him to prevent her
meeting him suddenly unawares. Mean
while her little ones, wearied Of keep

her slowly fading away.
One morning little Billy, the youn-
gest boy, aged four, threw his arms
around his mother and said:
"Oh, nanny, | dreamed last night
that the Albatross came sailing into
the harbor, and papa stood on the
deck giving the orders, and they lego
the anchor, and papa came ashore and
kissed us all"
Such words had grown to have con
trary effect from encouragement In
decd, they only induced a greater de
spondency. Mary embraced the boy
in d paroxysm OF tears, and his elder
sister forbade him to tell his mother
his dreams again.
The spring came, the trees put forth
their leaves and the children begged
their mother 10 take them to spend the
day on their grandfather's farm, few
miles inland They drove there In q
four seated wagon and after visiting
with the cows. the horses, the chick
ems. which all children love, in the
evening they started back. 1t was
dusk before they reached the village.
and in every house shone a light.
"Oh. mamma" said little Billy, see.
there's a light in our house! Maybe
papa has come while we've been
away"
Tears came to the mothers eyes, and
the eldest girl placed her hand over
the boys mouth.
But who had lighted their lamp? No
one had been instructed to do so.
Doubtless some neighbor had kindly
lnterfered to prevent their coming to
their home TO find Ii dark. When they
drove up 70 the door a figure reached
out a pair Of strong arms to help them.
The light shining through the open
door was on his back. ana his face was

Brace up, little woman. Ii distresses
me to see you crying as if your heart
would break. Have / not told you that
this is to be my last voyage?'
Mary Perkins had a presentiment
that her husband would never complete
this last voyage Nevertheless, after
his departure, she busted herself as
usual looking forward to her first letter
to be sent from the first port he was to
touch This should reach her ia about
twenty days, She was favorite in
the town where she lived, and her
neighbors, knowing of her forebodlngs.

fore him. But fear he II be a sailor

up, Mrs. Perkins Remember this IS
your husbands last voyage" In this
vein they talked till twenty days had
passed Then. when there was no let
ter, they said: Wait You can't expect
him to write the minute he reaches
port, and II he does there is not likely

When four months had passed and
not word was reported of the Alba
tross, Mary Perkins neighbors ceased
to console her There was no hope,
they said and It would be better for
her to give up John Perkins for lost
