FREE TEXT BOOKS TO
HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
(By United Press)

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 5.-All
school districts in the state will be
compelled, after 1920, to furnish free
textbooks to high school students, if
the present plan of the state board
of education is favorably acted upon
by the legislature.
The board today has endorsed the
principle of Assemblyman w. w.
Harris bill, but an amendment is
asked. The bill, as it now stands,
provides that school districts be COM
PEELED to furnish free hooks imme-
diately after the bill, if passed, be-
comes effective. Members of the
state board, with the exception of
Mrs. Agnes Ray of Oakland, although
approving the idea, did not believe
the compulsory feature should apply
SO soon, leaving it optional with the
districts until 1920.
Harris is a member of the legis-
elative textbook committee. His bill
10 ealOHS tile iii1eS W Ue ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
to the legislature by the committee.
Recommended by the committee and
endorsed by the state board of educa-
tion, this plan of supplying high school
students with free text books stands
an excellent chance of being put into
practice. However, opposition will be
furnished in the legislature by those
who believe the state should publish
free high school textbooks, the same
as elementary textbooks. The commit
tee recommends that school districts
purchase the books from eastern pub
fishers, considering state publication
impracticable.
The state board, at its meeting
last week, also endorsed the compul-
sorry training bill introduced by Sem
ator Luce, and the junior college bill,
introduced by Senator Ballard.
The Luce bill provides for a state
supervisor of physical training at a
salary of $4,000 a year to direct a
compulsory system of physical train
ing in the schools. Twenty minutes
each day would be required in the
elementary schools, and two hours

Great Crowds
Of People

The great problem confronting the public speak
er, the amusement promoter, the politician seeking
office and the business man, is just this:
"How can we effectuaIy reach people-great
crowds Of peOpe-without expending enormous
sums?
"Wlat can we do to assure hearing-or read
ng--of our message by large audiences and not pay
too dearly for the privege?"
The degree Of success reached by the speaker
the promoter, the politicians, the business man, de-
pends very largely on how much he knows of the art
of reaching many people without overspending.

ATHLETICS, AS USUAL,
SLOGAN FOR COUNTRY
Soldiers Overseas to Play. So Why
Should Stay-at-Homes Be Idle.

A little matter like a world war in
terferes but little with sports In this
country-which Is absolutely as 1t
should be.
All over the land athletics was king
on the Fourth. Baseball. track and
field games, acquatics. boxing. wrest-
ling and a score of other varieties of
sport and manifestations of the SPORT
loving spirit ruled the day.
The only objectors to this safe-and-
sane manner Of celebrating. SO far as
is known. are the fireworks manufac-
turers and the long-distance orators.
The undertakers' business may have
been hurt. but they stood the test like
men.
The orators, the "I-view-with- alarm
boys" were deeply hurt, but their sor-
rows merely bring coarse merriment
from an emancipated people. The
short. snappy speakers in the play
grounds and parks were able to get
their messages across in their usual
good style. but the scores of amateur
orators went to bed as soon as the
booming of the fireworks would let
them on Fourth of July night with
their pieces unsaid.
Upon the curse of athletics they lay
all the blame. They view with alarm
the tendency of healthy public to
turn to an exciting baseball game in
stead of sticking to hear what they
have to say upon the way the war
ought to be run. They talk so loud
and vociferously upon this pet hobby
| that after a while some easily in
fiuenced weak sisters think that il is a
shame to play or laugh until the
Kaiser is in the lookup.
Just what good it would do the
United States to have everyone sit
around with hands folded and faces
set in lines of despair is not at once
apparent. The enemies of sports say
that this would be meeting the situa-
ton gravely."
The United States is going into the
war in the right spirit, not with idle
boasting but with a feeling of quiet
confidence. The boys who have gone
overseas and those who follow were
80 99-1O0 per cent lovers and players
of some sort of sports. Between spells
Dof duty on the firing line in France
they will be playing the games they
played here. They will have none of
the handsfolded stun, and there
should be none Of II here.
