forms Of coaching and antics on the base
ball field were deplored by Dean lie
Baron r. Briggs Of Harvard in his an
nual address today as president Of the

He spoke of the particular necessity Of
differentiating between amateur and pro-
fessional base ball, and continued:
There is much in professional base
ball as played by the kings Of the game
that We do not want to see our students
initiate. We should not. for instance,
want to see them initiate Mr.. Jennings
on the coaching line. although much that
he does is humorous and accepted by the
American public"

other things. that no college student

he received no compensation for play

Why NOT PAY THE MAN?

One Of the nerviest propositions OF
late years is the proposal to indemnify
William L.orimer from the United
States treasury by an appropriation OF
at least $4,000 toward defraying the
exnense to which he has been put In
defending his seat in the senate. The
rerort from Washington is that those
who defended him and voted to save
his seat will advance this proposition.
Twenty five thousand is probably
only q small part of the aggregate
sums expended in the interests OF Lori
mer. It has probably cost that gentle
nan and those who put him over the
better part of quarter Of million
from start to finish. Why $4,000?
Why not reimburse in full?

In other words the grand total OF
school enrolment in 1910 would have
been 2O,731.O40 If the percentage OF
1890 had been maintained. in place OF
the 1s.s11,s22 grand total.
"All this loss and more is suffered
by the elementary schools. for higher
institutions made substantial gains
and the secondary schools show
marked increase In enrolment as COM
pared with the total population.
There is no reason for the belief
that the schools have lost ground IN
reality. This comparison is with total
population, not school population, AND
it is probable that there are relatively
fewer children no wthan formerly.
"If there are not so many children
proportionately. there will naturally
be proportionately fewer pupils. Fur
thermore, it is we'll known that the
constant improvement in statistical
methods has resulted in the elimina-
ton to an increasing extent OF dupii-
cate enrollnents. The decrease that
results is apparent only and causes no
concern"
In further support Of this contention
figures are cited which show that had
the apparent relative decrease Oh Sis'
1913 in enrolment been real. the loss
would have been more than made up
in the increased efficiency of the COM
mon schools, for the per cent Of aver
age daily attendance increased from
1851 in 1890 to 71.so in 1910: the av-
erage length Of school term increased

the same dates. At the same time the
average number Of days schooling re-
ceived by each child of school age in
creased from 59.2 in 1890 to sos in

attended by each pupil enrolled in
