this afternoon at the end of a stormy
session of debate. The cote was 167
to 5S.
Several attempts were made to
amend the measure but yea and nay
votes taken indicated that the lower
branch of the General Assembly was
loyal to the bill introduced by the
committee on way and means. Dur
ing the debate Mr. Jose of Johnson
became so personal in his remarks
that Mr.. Watson of st. Adams, Mr..
Comings of Richford and Mr.. Hulett
arose to question of personal privil-
eye and protested that the member
from Johnson had no right to arraign
them as he did in his speech in oppo-
sition TO the bill.
The attempt to pass the bill Great
ing a factory inspection commission
er, resulted in the bill being ordered
to lie and made a special order for

was responsible for more time being
given the measure, as he urged that
il was important legislation and
ought to be thoroughly understood by
the members of the House.

have responded to the natural instinct of
youth for social organization. Rather
we who have to do with the schools
should find fault with ourselves unless
we utilize this instinct and through or
ganizations of the schools open to all
and properly directed perform new social
service for the students.
Boys and girls agricultural clubs are
everywhere bringing new interest and
new enthusiasm to country children.
Boy scouts and similar organizations are
making their effective appeal TO the so
cial impulses of the young. These do
not exhaust the list. They are but ex-
amples of the kind of work that is being
done to meet an urgent need. But it Is
not enough that most of the youth
should enjoy such opportunities. 1t is
the right of all the youth that their own
needs in this direction be met.
Educate the Whole Boy.
These things are not non-essentials.
They are essential, because modern edu-
cation insists that the whole boy with
all his needs, all his interests and all his
powers be included in its program. Its
ultimate aim is a society in which all
the rights of men shall be conserved and
1t holds that only by a recognition and
observance of the rights of children can
that object be attained

International
Weights for Boxing,

New York, Oct. 24.-For the first ime
in the history of boxing in the United
States an official attempt will be made
by the New York States Athletic Com
mission to fix an international standard
of weights to govern championship bouts
in the various classes The commission
hopes to get its schedule recognized by
the authorities governing the sport in
England, France and Australia. The
following weight scale, drawn up by the
New York commission, is now on its
way to the governing bodies in the three
countries named and is expected to re-
ceive their approval:
Paperweight, los pounds; bantamweight,
lis pounds; featherweight, 125 pounds
lightweight 135 pounds; welterweight,
las pounds; middleweight, 1853 pounds;
light heavyweight or Commission
weight 165 pounds; heavyweight, 175
pounds and over.
The commission in fixing the scale also
stipulated that the various weight limits
should be made at the ringside. Ringside
weighing has many opponents in this
country and it is believed that a modi-
fication of this rule will be agreed upon
later by the international bodies CON
cerned.
The COMMISSIONS schedule calls for a
new class to include boxers too heavy to
make 1853 pounds ringside, yet too light
to compete as full fiedged heavyweights
The idea is to do away with contests In
which man weighing 1865 pounds meets
an opponent weighing 200 pounds or more
In addition to the weights program the
commission has entered into an agree
ment with English, French and Austria
liam promoters by which uniform rules
and penalties will be mutually recog
nized. II FL Ef4E
