Thur.ton's Denial
Ernest L. Thurston, superintendent
of public schools denied last night
that he had issued an order forbid
ding discussion OF the league OF ma
l4rs -, ~. 4,
department Of the high schools.
No formal order forbidding discus
sion of the league of nations or Boil
shevism has been issued" said Supt.
Thurston, and l do not at present
know OF any that is to be issued.
Il did suggest" he continued, that
subjects such as Bolshevism ought not
TO be discussed with young people who
are not in a position TO know the sub
iect and what II contains. For that
matter, any subject liable to excite the
young ought not to be discussed in
the schools.
Common sense is supposed to be
used in all discussions in the public
schools, no matter what the subject
might be. There is no need TO intro
duce a subject full Of dynamite. There
are plenty of current topics which the
youth of this city understand and
which can be freely discussed in the
schools without taking up some sub
ject which is a puzzle and creator Of
discord among older people"
Harry o. Hines, secretary Of the
Board OF Education, when asked last
night about the supposed order, stated
that he knew nothing about the order
and that there had been no formal or

SULPHUR AND MOLASSES.
By EDMUND VANCE COOKE.

XT:-Races live land die) by their recolectons

o, dreams of childhood as you wing
There's never a dream surpasses
That ancient rite, that sweetened sting
OF sulphur and molasses
shepherd might forget his crook
A priest might shirk his masses
But mother might not overlook
Our sulphur and molasses.
Each generation hands it down;
1t sights creeds classes
1t marches on, though doctors frown
At sulphur and molasses.
And II knew not Spring had come;
Ut blew reeds or brasses)
Till mother cried, 'Ive mixed you somel"
Some sulphur and molasses.
And then its soul sang in my veins,
Like ssps OF sassafrasses
And life drowned all its wintry pains
In sulphur and molasses.
Yea, it was spring that brought that boon,
That taste of fumes and gasses,
That large and loaded, sluggish spoon
OF sulphur and molasses. ...
o, many joy dies in its haste
And many pleasure passes,
But never tongue forgets the taste
OF sulphur and moasses.
Let Bacchus satiate his soul
In casks and jugs and glasses;
| lip my faith upon the bowl
OF sulphur and molasses.
