TO IMPROVE ATHLETICS;
TO BANISH CIGARETTE
Double Appeal in Letter Which Principal
10. X. Hollister Presented to School
Principals in Vermont, Asking
for Action.

| Principal o. X Hollister OF Goddard,
who went to Burlington this morning
to attend the teachers convention, will
present the following letter at the meet
| ing of the Schoolmasters' club, Which
meets there tomorrow, copies OF the
letter having already been sent out to
all Of the members Of the club for their
consideration before the meetings
Dear Sir, AT the next meeting Of
the Schoolmasters club in Burlington,
plan to present two questions for con-
sideration. The first Is more active con-
troll Of athletics by the athletic commit
tee. This Is my planl
Every school in the state which de-
sires to be classified shall send to the
committee its record for the last two
years in foot ball, basket ball and base
ball The committee shall then divide
the schools into two divisions in each
sport, using their records as basis Of
division.
Each school shall arrange its schedule
OF games as now, and not be asked to
play every other school in its division;
and shall send its record at the close
Of its season to the committee. The
committee shall then award champion
ship in each. division. In the following
year champions OF the second division
shall enter the first division, and the
poorest team OF the first division shall
enter the second division The commit
tee shall select officials for games when
requested to do so by either contestant.
4 believe that such en- arrangement
would raise the athletic standard In
our schools and receive the approval Of
people and press.
"The second question IS: What shall
we do TO check the cigarette habit among
our boysl The law compels boys to 60
to school, a large sum Of money Is ap-
propriated each year for their education,
q small army OF devoted men and women
are giving their best service to prepare
them for useful citizenship, and we are
all sitting calmly by and seeing large
part Of this money and service 20 to
waste through the influence OF the cigar
ette. Look over your enrolment of the
last few years; make list Of the boys
who are doing poor work, who are eaus-
ing disorder; make another list Of those
who have failed and left school; and
then see how many Of them have been
victims Of the cigarette. / cannot tell
you anything about the effects Of the
poison upon the boy. You see pitiable
examples Of II every day. What are
you as an educator Of boys going to do
about it2
we are hearing a great deal about
new Vermont, about better schools,
about the great need Of more strong
young men remaining in our state; II
we can work together and fight the Gig
arctic with the determination and vigor
Of which We are capable, We shall have
new Vermont, we shall have our boys
in school doing good work. and we shall
be able to say again in the future that
one Of the chief assets Of the Green
Mountain state is men I hope you will
ne at burlington ready for action. Re-
speetfnlly yours. O. X. 1Iollister.s

indebtedness, owing to the contin
growth of the treasury deficit and Che
steady decline in the working balance
in the treasury.
The Payne Aldrich tariff law is not
yielding the revenues predicted by its
trainers. There is a deficit for the four
months Of this fiscal year Of nearly
s24 900 600. The total balance in the
general fund is only sss,000,O0O. Of this
amount only S20,O0O,OOO is actually ir

hold S5O,O0O 600, and s6,0OO,OOO is in

Consequently, it is not possible for
the government to come to the aid Of
the banks by making more deposits. On
the other hand, it is more likely that
the government will be calling on the
banks for funds. There are now $685.
$4,000 per cent bonds in the treasury
as security for bank circulation.
