that the school may be continuously

not having sufficiently recovered from
an attack of pneumonia which fol-
lowed a case of the flu.
Up to this week, there had been AZ
days of actual teaching for the ses-
sion. Although the school opened in
September under very promising con-
ditions, the period has indeed been d
trying one, yet what is true of the
schools of Grenada is in measure
true of every other school in the
country. The colleges and the Uni
versities have been equally as badly
upset.
Prof. Bigham, the city superin-
tendent, is naturally quite at sea as
to the results for the year. He real
ICES that the students need the full
time, especially those of the 9th, 10th
and 11th grades, usually devoted to
nine months Of study. The necessi-
ty of this is all the more realized
when it is considered that the schools
have been greatly disturbed during
the past two years on account of War
activities and because, in some in
stances, competent instructors could
not be obtained. The Sentinel feels
sure that Prof, Bigham fully reai:Z &

deaths from the flu. There seems
little reason to doubt, the statement
that there have been Approximately
one half million people to die il this
country of the flu and it is authori-
tatively stated that nine tenths OF the
deaths have been in the cities and the
towns, from which it will readily be
seen that density of population has
much to do with the prevalence Of the
disease. 1t is stated that 10000 sol
diers overseas have died fthe flu
which means in every 100.

length in connection with the schools
so that the Grenada public may be
watchful. 1t will not do to take
things for granted. The health au-
thOrities and the doctors should be en-
cOuraged to sit on the lid whenever
they think it necessary.
The school is Grenada's greatest
asset, but school building and compe-
tent. teachers amount to little when
sickness and disease are abroad.
Health is the greatest asset of each
and every child of Grenada.

Mr.. B. c. Duncan has manifested no
aversion to having the suit case and

Mr.. Duncan would find himself so

Former Indiana Senator and
Others Speak in fremont
Temple, Boston, Against the
Proposed League of Nations.

10y nosh,NG JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIREl
Boston, March S.-The speaking
campaign in opposition to the league
of nations plan in the form advocated
by President Wilson and endorsed by
former President Taft was continued
at meeting that filled fremont tenn
pie tonight.
AS in earlier speeches, Senator
Borah, republican, of Idaho. de-
nounced the proposed league as a
league of diplomats rather than of
nations, with an executive council in
which Asiatic and European members
could outvote America on purely
American issues.
Senator Charles S. Thomas, demo-
crat, of Colorado, reiterated his con-
viction that the United States ought
not be committed to new and far
reaching policy in advance of a thor
ough knowledge of every detail in
volved in so momentous an undertake
ing.
Former Senator Albert ]. Bever
idge of Indiana. who was chairman
of the progressive national conven-
ton in 1912, presided. In introduce
ing the other speakers, Mr.. Beveridge
attacked the proposed international
constitution as a partnership in which
Europe and Asia would furnish the
IlaDllllleS ana lne united states sup
ply the assets.
I'VE are told that we shall disap-
point the world if we refuse" Ito join
a league of nations), he said. III
any business house made contracts on
that principle how long would it keep
out of bankruptcy? 1t is said we are
now world power and must take up
new burdens. We are. indeed. a world
power and we do not intend to sur
render that position and become the
tail of an International kite. We well
come new burdens if they are legiti-
mate; but we decline those which
others are eager to unload.
at is said we went to war to create
| this league of nations. That is not
the truth. The truth is we went to
war to whip Germany That job is
done; the next job-the immediate
and imperative jobs to make peace
and bring our soldiers home"

Tho first attempt at enforcement Of
Sheriff Rafael Garcia's anti-loafing
order resulted Saturday in the whole
sale filing of charges, including one
against Deputy Sheriff Pablo San

prisal.
Ramon Ortiz. former deputy sher-
iff, and Alberto Garcia, formerly con-
stable at old Town, also were arrest
ed, charged with interfering with
Deputy Sheriff Sandoval.
Sandoval stated that he met Amanda,
Ortiz and Garcia in the street at Old

in court today. He had asked Amanda
where he worked, he said, and re-
ceived the reply that he worked at

answer to his order that Amanda
would appear like hell" the deputy
said. This resulted in the complaints
against them.
