q AN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan.
29.-Beware, Tom Jones, of
Jim Griffin, local fight pro-
moter and referee, for If he does
one-half to you that he says he
will when you fellows meet face to
face there should be some lively do
ings. 1t must not be inferred that
blows will be struck, but there will
be a lashing of tongues. Griffin's
Irish is up, and all because he read

that, he even told me that he didn't

N7HEN the PREPARATORY ,'. schools SC
lanta Saturday night TO or
ganize the Georgia Interscholastic
Basket Ball league, they will be
taking step toward the purifica-
ten OF college athletic conditions
and a pretty long step. too.
Most of the rottenness Of college
athletics today starts in the prep
school.
Most prep schools are CONNER
cial enterprises, run for profit and
without endowment. Winning base
ball and football teams are big ad-
refreshments, In consequence the
men who run the schools want
them. To get them they offer-in
many. but not all cases-some sort
Of inducement to get good athletes
to attend the schools.
The result is that they prepare
for college a lot OF young men who
are utterly "commercialized," even
if they are not absolutely "profes-
sionalized"
These men naturally go to the
college that offers the greatest in
ducemeut" They expect IT. They
almost force the colleges into offer
ing inducements.
with conditions i'm the prep
schools cleaned up the colleges will
find It easier 10 live within the lin
its Of the law, az laid down by the
s. I. A. A.
THE constitution which the Inter
scholastic league will adopt at
its meeting Saturday night will be
a modification of the s. l. A. A.
constitution. 1t will provide for a
president secretary treasurer, and
a vice president, thus Centrali2ing
the power. The president will pass
on all questions Of eligibility, but
his decision is subject to immediate
appeal to the whole body, so there
is no danger OF autocratic power.
The eligibility conditions will
provide that professionals are
barred; that players must matricu-
late within 30 days after the open
ing Of term. and that no player
shall be allowed TO play more than
four years.
1t win he provided thsi no team
Of the association will be allowed TO
play any other school team Of Geor-
gis unless IL IS certified that every
PLAYER on the team is eligible under
the G. !. \. 4. rules. This viii force
al schools. when playing games
against association teams. TO meet
them on a basis Of 5mateurism and
with bona fide students. which has
not always been done In the past
The constitution will provide
further that, on request. any team
may be required to submit list OF
its eligible players for investiga-
ton. In case any are challenged
they must furnish an affidavit as to
their athletic standing.
BY adopting these rules IT will be
possible to put prep athletes on a
vastly better basis than they ever
have been before in Georgia.

tessori is the only school apparatus
a child can use without being told to
or shown how to use. Montesson he
lieves that it Is not possible to make
the early exercises too simple. When
child knows that he can do thing
he will do 1t. The bes. pedagogical
help you can give is indirect. If you
let an American child spend long
enough on the preparatory exercises
there is absolutely no doubt Of his in
tellectual ability to uss this material.
1t Is better adapted to American chill
dren even than to italian and from
this kindergarten beginning we look
forward to the day when the whole
educational system will be revolu-
tionized"
The Montessori materials, which
Miss George and other teachers are
using with such success ard which
Montessorl herself perfected. consist
of frames on which the children but
ton leather and cloth together, lace
strings and snap fasteners; cylinders
Of varying diameters and lengths,
which they learn to place in their
proper holes in blocks of wood; vary
Ing sized and lengthed prisms and
rods which they learn to build in or
der In stairs or towers; boxes OF COL
ors by means Of which they learn to
distinguish between hues; geometrical
insets which they learn to place IN
their proper receptacles; geometrlcal
forms which they learn to trace with
pencil on paper and to fill in with
various colored cilalks and thus learn
how to follow contour and thus come
easily and naturally to write; and

smooth cardboard which they trace
with their fingers as the teacher re-
