nor wovld the povter pigeon on the reverse

observed, and everything can be forgiven
when We note the artistic spelling of the

fine? We are advancing in art Already
we have samples of trye artistic spelling in

President Gordon Talks.

President Gordon of the board OF educa-

1T would appear that the people Of Cap
itol Hill are divided as to the respective
merits OF scholarship and athletics The
board has letter which not only impugns
the possible executive ability of the men,
bers of the faculty OF the Eastern High
School. but Of all the 800 teachers of the
District and goes so far as TO ask the
board to appoint outsider whose ath-
letic propensities distinctly subordinate
scholarship. In this relation my attention
was called few days ago to athletics,
with which l have a hearty sympathv nv,
a gentleman himself taking advantage for
his children of the public school system,
who said:
Mr.. Gordon. your schools are being
ruined. You are trying to do the right
thing. but from what l am told. y will be
necessary to lessen the athletic interest By
half II you hope to preserve n high stand

least one of the high schools several Young

and the constant practice necessary 10
reach proficiency in these matters Il was
impossible to keep abreast OF the classes
Indeed. am told that but for the kindly
assistance and pushing of the teachers these
athletes could not have been graduated.
Mr.. Gordon said further: II am as said
entirely ignorant of such a condition, but
question and the letter to the board show
plainly that there is division of senti
ment In the minds of the people as to the
relative standing OF scholarship and athIet
les is very clear"
Question of Athletics.
1t Is understood that the contention be-
tween those supporting and those antago.
nistic to Mr.. SwartzelI is directly con-
nected with this question of athletics. A
story is being told that the principal de-
clined. inconsistent with the dignity
OF the school. an offer on the part of a
gentleman now engaged in opposing
the administration to supply the
Eastern High School with a paid base

In consequence of the action OF the
