TOO MUCH ATHLETICS
IN SCHOOLS, SAYS BLAIR
School Board Member Declares kindergarten Pupils Soon
Will Be Playing Tiddledewink
Championships.

Henry p. Blair. of the Board Of Edu-
cation, opposed the proposition of an
athletic league In the grade schools
today.
4 have no fault to find with the
inter high school games" said Mr..
Blair. But I believe the board
should consider carefully the ques-
ton Of organizing a league among
the grade schools. It seems TO me
that a healthy boy will go out and
play base oall and get in other games
without having them forced on him
under the auspices of some athletic
league.
After 4 while we will have our
kindergarteEs playing tiddledewink
championships. If this athletic fever
keeps On spreading"
The wisdom Of allowing high
school football and baseball teams to
play schools Of other cities was also
questioned by Mr.. Blair. L am not
convinced that our high school boys
should be travelling around to Balti-
more. NeS- York. and Boston to play
other high schools" he said, though

teams.
