PROF. MAPHIS' ADDRESS
Large Audience Heard Interesting
Lecture on High School
Last Night.

Prof. Chas. q. Maphis, Professor OF
Secondary Education at the University
OF Virginia, and Inspector OF High
Schools, addressed an interested audi
ence last night At the Young People, q
Building on THE Value Of High
School and Community"
Prof. Maphis based his remarks
upon facts and figures which had been
gathered, showing the phenomenal
growth OF the high school flom the
good old time lie ore the war.
Tie high school has growc because
III is a valuable thing. He showed tho
value OF high school education by the
man by calling attention to the rela-
lively small proportion OF men without
sucn an education, who become note
worthy in their state.
Alexandria must not continue to lay
behind in this educational progress.
That she is behind. Prof. Maphis show
ed by stating that not another city III
Virginia OF five thousand inhabitants
was without high school offering a
full four year course in fact, many
small towns hud more to offer than
Alexandria.
The school authorities were congratu-
lated upon the forward step they had
taken IN purchasing the attractive
eight and half acre high school site
and the hope was expressed that the
much needed building would soon be
erected thereby not only advancing the
high school development but relieving
the crowded conditions in the primary
and grammar schools.
The speaker said he was glad 10 see
that the High School enrolment had
increased from % to us since last
session aud also that the teaching force
had been increased. Since there would
be more than 200 pupils applying for
this work next session, he urged that
proper provision in the way OF room
and equipment and additional teachers
be ruade for them. He said courses
should be added, commercial course,
manual training, domestic Science; for
the high school education should be
vocational as we'll as cultural, since it, is
not only what you know but what you
can do that counts today. We should
no longer permit our kind neighbor
Washington. to do for few OF our
children what we should do for all OF
them.
IN speaking OF the congested condi-
tions IN our schools, Prof. Maphis
dwelt on the injury done the child who
must sit in q crowded poorly ventilated
s.hooiroom. He told OF n visit he
paid to school in the Laucasterian
Building in this city, and spoke OF the
deplorable conditions he found there,
the oyer.heated room, with no ventlla-
ton, the fifty or sixty restless little
children and the faithful teacher doing
all she could in the face Of such odds.
He stated that the conditions in that
school were the worst he had ever seen.
Prof. Maphis was introduced by GU.
perinteodent William H. Sweeney and
while in the city was the guest OF Prof.
William A. Anderson. jr.
He visited the local high school to.
day and expressed himself as being
much pleased with the work done in
the three years course now offered,
and assured superintendent Sweeney
and Prof. Anderson that when the
fourth year is added the high school
diploma will admit students TO
the University OF Virginia without
examination.

OUR OLYMPIC ATHLETES
JARED BADLY SAYS PHILLIPS

DR.. Paul g. Phillips. OF Amherst Col.
!ege. Seer starry of the Society of d.
rectors Of Physical Education. caused
mild sensation In addressing that body
At Columbia yesterday. by saying that
the United States athletes for the Olym-
pic games were badly cared for on the
steamer Finland.
I'm the first place" ne said. 'the
Olympic committee should have sent n
score Of more assistant trainers to work
under Mike Murphy. who found II .
physical impossibility to work personally
with q squad of one hundred and fifty
men. Facilities were bad for taking care
OF the men on shipboard. and there was
only one rubber. who charged % cents
for each rundown. Many OF the ath-
letes said afterward that II was worth
more than a quarter not to be rubbed
down.
There was no room for real practice
on the ship and the swimming tank was
almost farce. The deck which was used
for . track was hard. and the motion OF
the ship made II practically impossible
for the runners to maintain their stride.
Hereafter II would be better II the
Olympic committee would spend a few
thousand dollars moro In providing suit
able facilities for the men en- route 10
the games in order that they should not
have to break their training. I would
also advise that only the trainers and
the athletes be taken on the ship. for
II would probably lead to better feeling
among the athletes. and there would not
be the same opportunities for social dis
elimination IN the team itself that
married the one that recently came back
from Stockholm"

Jersey CHANCELLOR
DECLARES IN FAVOR
Of EASIER DIVORCE
Garrison Would Include In
sanity, lntolerable Conduct
and Drunkenness.

Lindley Garrison, Vice. hancellor OF
New Jersey. whose home IL In Jersey
City after a long experience In trying
divorce cages has reached the conclu-
sion that the existing laws are wrous
that In the eyes Of the State under the
present statutes marriage 10 not re-
garded as a sacrament, but as civil
institution. and should be regulated tn
provide the greatest good TO the great.
est number, and that habitual drunk
enness. insanity. imprisonment and in
tolerable conduct should be causes for
breaking the union.
The opinion was suggested by q de-
clson he recently rendered in n case liz
which the wife left her husband because
of conduct she could not tolerate. but
the decision was In favor of the hus-
band. who proved the legal desertion
under the law as II Is. But the Vice.
Chancellor positively declared that he
would not take the two children from
the mother. SAYING:
After many years experience in the
divorce court 1 can truthfully say that
human life contains nothing more un-
bearable than tho wretchedness arising
out OF All ill-mated marriage"
He fsvors the broadening OF the power
of the court 40 rs to allow II the right
to hear the paroles privately and en-
deavor. where 1t Is possible, to effect a
reconciliation.
NO good" he said. can come to the
Individual or the State by legally keep
ing two people together when continued
association causes misery. II never
stops with the two. II Is like the ripple
caused by the pebble cast into the
brook. Its effect IL widespread"
