DROPS OUT
Of SCHOOL LEAGUE

Other Athletic Teams
Until Next Year.

Last Wednesday the Athletic Asso-
citation Of the Eastern High School met
and definitely decided 10 have no repre-
sentative I'm the Inter-High School Foot
ball League this season. The decision
was unanimous
This radical step was taken only after
a discussion lasting several weeks and

spring meet and for the Dasehdli cniiih-
plOnshIp OF the high schools. unless an
other ruling Is made by the board OF
faculty athletic advisors, which, though
possible, is hardly probable.
The reason for Eastern's action was
because Of the weakened condition OF
the football team and the lack Of ma
terial. Because Of the "oue-dunk" rule,
which as passed last year, and which
bars any member of a school from rep

Now that il IS aH over the Wlsen-

boxed cleveTly FOR five or six rounds,
and then sailed lnto him after weak

is true that Sullivan showed himself
the better boxer and the better judge

away with the clever thing for awhile,
bus NcGaTy was ike a bull. was
reaching Sullivan now and then. and
every one of his blows was as the kick
OF "a mule. IL is more Jhan probable
that at tho end Of six rounds or stand
or uEhuuE sullivan would have been az
much weakened as McGarry.
Sullivan reached the body I'm his

The extreme specimen of this

improvements that involve taxes
and takes the lift of adjoining i'm

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
And High License to Be ImpOr-
tant Issues Before General
Assembly at Meeting
Next Month.

The events of the past several
weeks, says the Baton Rouge
Times, have clearly defined two
important issues that are to
come up before the General AS
sembly, which meets in Baton
Rouge next month. The two
questions are compulsory educa-
ton and a uniform high liquor
license law for the State.
Already on these two matters,
and especially on the last, are
there now passing many letters
between members of the legisla-
ture and parties interested in
the measures.
A number of large delegations
from the various parishes and
from the city of New Orleans,
will be up before the legislature
as sOOn as it meets, to secure the
passage of the compulsory edu.
c~ational bill, which has been pre-
pared and will be introduced by
George H. Terriberry very early
in the session
While all parish and State Off
Gals are united on the question
of the need of a compulsory
school attendance law, and all
give their endorsement to the
general movement, inquiry devel-
Oped the fact that there was a
difference of opinion as to the
details of the law. A compul-
sorry educational law in a mild
form is thought advisable at first,
and some of the officials think
that a compulsory educational
law, leaving it optional with the
parishes whether it should be
enforced or not. is what the
present conditions demand.
The movement for a uniform
law on the question of State
liquor license, seems certain to
be an issue during the session of
the legislature. and is linked by
some with educational matters.
Many letters on this subject
have already come to the men,
bers of the legislature and State
officials. A majority of those
interested in a high State license
seem to favor the enactment of
a law making the State license
81 900. and allowing the parishes
to fix their maximum license at
$1,000, if they SO desire. There
is some talk of providing for the
giving of a portion, or all, of the
State liquor license revenues to
the educational fund, but such a
movement would be objected to
by some of the educational in
terests. The sentiment for a
uniform State high license seems
to be strong in certain sections
and legislators predict that it
will develop into an interesting
