NIGHT SCHOOL WORK
SALVATION ARAEY's WORK ON
 SAME LINES DISCUSSED.
omcerm of Force Believe Their AceompIishments stand As Eyf denee of what May Be Done
 In Future.

With the general discussion of what | is hoped for night school systems m | Montgomery there is concomitant a great interest in what has already been done. and the officers of the Sal- vation Army who have for some time maintained a night school in West End believe that their labors are but fine beginning of deeds that the Army
 and other associations of Montgomery will do.l
 The school maintained by the Army is regarded as a success; that 1t is potential to produce greater results the officers feel sure.
 Captain S. A. odom, interviewed about the work. said:
 There has been considerable com ment on night school work recently. The City Council has discussed the matter. and many prominent citizens as well. and it seems that they all agree that the night school question fs the only hope of educating the boys and girls who are unfortunately pre- vented from attending the day schools.
 'Tt hardly looks reasonable that In a city like Montgomery where we nave good schools in a few hundred yards of every home, there are about 500 children growing up without any schooling whatever. This may seem unreasonable but 1t is nevertheless true.
 "You may ask why these conditions exist where every effort is being put forth to reach every child in the scol- asticaI age through the public schools, you may feel that the parents of these children are to blame. which Is evil dently the case fin some instances, but 1t Is not the case in every instance. as there are many children who have to work hard every day to earn live lihood. If they were to stop their work to go to school they would have no support.
 ''The Salvation Army has done lot of work among these unfortunate chil- 4ren, and becoming familiar with their condition has started a night school which has been in progress for the last two years during the school season This school is run on Factory Row, and has a scholarship of some seventy five pupils. The most of which have rose from the primer first and second reader to third and fourth.
 ''This school Is run the first four nights in each week from to Q. both books and tuition Is furnished free by the Army"

 Cincinnati. March 22--A letter from Archbishop Henry Moeller, asking the signatures to petition protesting against the Reynolds free text book bill now before the Ohio Legislature was read in many Catholic Churches of Cincinnati today.
 It is understood the petition will be circulated throughout the state. The Reynolds bill if passed will cause text books to be furnished pupils of all the Ohio public schools. The Catholics are against the bill because they state members of their faith are paying taxes to the state to support the public schools and yet are obliged to maintain their own educational in- stitutions.

 New York. March 22--This city, where transit conditions and faciii- ties have been a constant vexing municipal problem, was introduced to novelty in surface car transporta- ton today when pay-as-you-enter cars were placed in operation on the Madison Avenue line from Harlem to Brooklyn bridge.

 Those not having the exact fare step aside on a large platform until change Is made when they are per- mitted to pass into the car. One huD- dred and fifty of the new cars were in operation today and railroad officials pronounced them a success.

 There are two questions involved in reducing the number of contests in athletics, the academic and the athletic. From an athletic viewpoint and that of developing strong teams. the present system is needed; but as far as the academic side Is concern ed, that is a question for the athlete himself to decide"
 President Woodrow Wilson has de- clared himself personally in favor of reducing the number of contests in athletics, but said tonight that there had been no official discussion of the question among the faculty and that there was no intention of such action in the future.

REDUCING CONTESTS
TO CURTAIL INTERC0LLEGIATE
 ATHLETIC EVENTS.
Harvard University May Pla, Only Two Football Games Next Fall--spring schedule VIII Not
 He Affected.

Cambridge, Mass, March 22.--Al- though the outcome ise problematical It Is generally believed at Harvard that the vote of the faculty at a spe- ciaI meeting on Friday night, recom- mending an intercollegiate agreement to reduce the number of intereollegl- ate contests will have no effect what ever upon any of the matches arranged for this academic year. The base ball schedule for this spring has been com pleted and includes twenty seven games.
 But in the opinion of many Harvard men, there is a strong possibility of a radical change next fall in the foot ball schedule. There is even a pros pect, 1t is asserted, that the schedule may be cut to two games and that the Harvard teams public activity in this line of sport, may eventually be limited, though probably not this year, to contests with Yale and one other college only, probably Dartmouth. At a conference last fall, the New England college presidents in answer to a request by President Eliot, voted in favor of curtailing the schedule of intercollegiate athletic contests. Fol- lowing this action the Associated Press canvassed the faculty representa- lives on the athletic committees of the various New England colleges, and with one of two exceptions. all fav- ored the proposed plan.
 President George Harris and the ath-, letic authorities of Amherst College, are in favor of the plan, President Harris holding that a few games are better for the scholarship and physi- cal well being of the students than a long schedule orh the abolishment of contests altogether. Amherst Is base ball schedule has already been cut to twenty games.
 President M. H. Buckman, of the University of Vermont, favors the plan, but as the base ball games have al. ready been made up there will be no curtailment this spring. at least.
 Dartmouth, which has for the past few years trimmed her athletic sched- ules. will probably not be affected by and further curtailment, acting pres ident John K. Lord believing the pre- sent proportion of athletics Is a neces- sary form to the ecollege.
 Dr. Frank H. Whittier, physical d. rector at Bowdoin college, believes that Bowdoin's present sporting sched- ules are satisfactory.
