BOARD MAKES RULE ON ATHLETICS
Students Participating in Athletics Must
Maintain a Grade of so Per Cent
-COad FayOrS Rugby.

The summer vacation is over and the
school children of Hood River county
are returning TO their books. The
0dell, Frankton and Oak Grove schools
began Monday. in order that they
might be closed as early in the spring
as possible. In the spring months,
when strawberries are are being har-
vested the young people make efficient
pickers. With perhaps one or two
exceptions the other schools of the
county will open next Monday.
The High School will enroll its
pupils Monday, despite the fact that il
is labor day and that few of the stu
dents have protested on this account.
However, the work of the day will be
no more than registration and the as
signment of lessons for the next day.
f. f. Coad, superintendent of the city
schools says that the parents of
children entering the primary grades
should use every endeavor to have
them enter the schools as soon as pos
sible. No child under the age of six is
allowed to enter the school and none
can enter two weeks after the begin
ming of the term.
Carpenters have been at work on
the school buildings this week, over
hauling them and constructing shelv-
ing and arranging desks. The build
ings are all being fumigated under the
supervision of the city health officer.

During the coming year the girls
and boys of the Seventh and Eighth
grades will be in separate classes.
The girls classes will be in the High
school building, where they will be
able to conduct work in domestic
science. The boys. however, will con-
tinue at the Park Street building,
since no work in manual training has
been provided for them at the High
School building.
That no student shall be allowed to
participate in any form Of athletic
events unless he or she maintains a
scholarship standard of at least 80 per
cent on weekly markings is the effect
of resolution adopted bv the city
school board at its last meeting. II is
asserted that the high school faculty
and the patrons of the school commend
| the action of the board. However, a
ruling of the student body last year
prevented any one of its members fiom
taking part in athletics, when the
scholarship fell below grade of rs
per cent.
''The pupils of high school will not
be allowed to take any time from their
studies for participating in athletic
events. said Superintendent Coad.
Nor shall ! give my consent to any
student to play football unless he sub.
mits written permission from his
parents. | have always been fond of
the game of football. | have played
myself and the sport has its good quail.
tiles. However, in the high school
especially, where it is impossible to
make the members of teams maintain
a strict training, too many students
are injured. ! believe the time is
coming when all the high schools and
colleges will take up Rugby instead of
the more dangerous American game
The high schools of this state should
make the change. Superintendent
Coad has made an endeaVor to get
The Dales High School authorities to
cooperate with him in the matter of
taking up Rugby.
The members of the city school
board are thoroughly in accord with
the city superintendent s views on
| football. Because of the danger of
| football the student will have to
procure written permits from their
parents in order that the responsibility
will rest with them.
