SCHOOLS STAND STILL

Everybody and everything appear
to move forward while the rural
school stands still. Few people ride
in bugsies or surries these days; but
the children go to pretty much the
same kind of school their parents at
tended.
That this tendency to let the schools
stand still Is the same in many por-
lions Of the country can be seen from
the following extract from letter
written the Bureau Of Education at
Washington by Governor w. l.. Hard

Of Iowa:

pupils, with the 2 teachers in charge
Towels and sheets are brought by the
travellers themselves.
Every school in the cities is fur

sion is given 10 the travellers to use
this and the cooking utensils in prepar-

taken at some of the inexpensive, and
yet very good, hotels that are found
ut all principal points. All arrange
ments are made beforehand, so that
each bureau and hotel knows when
every party is to arrive.
Boys and girls travel separately. If
the trip is short, it is made on foot !;
if longer, the boys use bicycles. Trips
to more distant parts requiring 10 days
or 2 weeks are made by rail or steam
boat. 1t is always possible to get very
much reduced rates for school excur-
sion. Pupils from different countries
visit each other in this way; the pres

STATE UNIVERSITY
IS CHOSEN FOR
HEALTH WORK
Government Selects Kentucky Uni.
yersity as Place For Promotion
Off Sex Education.

The University of Kentucky has
been chosen by the government to be
one of the educational institutions of
the country to discover more effective
measures in promoting sex education.
In doing this work the University will
receive assistance from the Interde-
partmental Social Hygiane Board, in
GLIDING financial assistance.
1t will establish department of
social hygiene which has been de-
signed primarily for the training of
teachers, but which is intended also to
reach every student in the institution.
Its Curriculum will include courses and
conferences in international ser by,
giene and its direct personal and
group applications. Due and tactful
emphasis will be placed on the seri
business of venereal diseases, their
causes, carriers, and means of preven
ton.
In doing this work as a feature of
its campaign to CONTROL venereal dis
eases, the Board has taken the position
that education as a means of prevent
ing these diseases should be developed
not by placing special and dramatic
emphasis on the subject, but by giving
1t normal consideration and studying
it in its proper relation to other rivi-
sions of hygiene. 1t believes that the
greatest amount of good can be achiev-
ed through preparing the classroom
teacher as thoroughly in general n.y.
giene as he or she is prepared in Eng
lish or mathematics.
1t is with these principles in mind
that the government Though the In
terdepartmental Social Hygiene Board
proposes to assist any state in the
Union to establish in one of its state
normal schools, state colleges or state
universities that trains teachers a de-
partment of hygiene that will reach
every prospective teacher in farming

As Jim Corbett
 Tells 1t

Charles Ebbets of the Brooklyn Dodgers has made drastic move ir I an effort to stamp out one form Of baseball rowdyism. It would be well l for other magnates to follow his lead | Throughout both circuits during the year, fans incensed over rulings of umpires or the attitude of the opposi- l ton players, frequently have expressed their feelings by tossing pop bottles onto the playing field-with the object of their wrath as the target. On sev- sral occasions players and umpires have been hit and or others, narrow escapes have been frequent.
 Ebbets the other day took. action which prohibits entirely the selling fin the Brooklyn stands of any refresh ment in bottle form. The result is that the rowdy fans are deprived of missiles And thus has the safety of players and umpires from such attacks been insured.
 It might be well for both leagues when they are in session this winter to adopt a rule barring the sale of liquid in bottle form in all parks and
 they could go step further by passing a rule prohibiting the sale of cushions Of course the fans would then De forced to sit upon the wooden seats, put al the SaIne tilHt, iN pOu'N PA the rowdes from using these same cushions to toss upon the playing field whenever something arises which dis- pleases them.
 OLD SYSTEM FAILS
 The old system of attempting to sup press the rowdies by policing the stands carefully is failure It would require about 500 policemen sprinkled throughout the stands to watch Tor non bottle throwers. And even then there is no assurance that they will be able to capture the culprits. There ,s but one way to stop the practice and Ebbets has adopted 1t.
 Rowdyism by the fans has been more apparent this year than in any season for nearly a decade. This is due to the fact that the crowds everywhere nave been infinitely larger and naturally the percentage of rowdies has in. creased. Tn the second place the bat tles in both leagues have been very close and with excitement al fever pitch in at least seven cities around the circuit, many dociie fans have tenn porarily lost their judgment and reverted 10 the cave men instinct of soa king somebody with anything with in reach.
 One refreshing thing about the situa- tion however. is the faet that al though there has been quite an out burst of rowdyism by the fans. there has been little of it comparatively on the ball field. In years gone by with pennant races not nearly so close as in 1920. players frequently lost their tenn pers and began baftles with the lumpires And some disgraceful scenes were enacted on the diamond. But in 1920 there has been only few out bursts by players and these have been of the nlildest kind. All of which shows that years of schooling which the play CTS have received along the lines Of .no rough stuff has been we'll learned

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated rr,.,


 New Orleans, August 22.-Depres. sions ruled in the cotton market this week from the opening to the closing session. In the early part of the week the unfavorable political news wal against values and later on bearisf talk regarding the probable size of the crop and the weakness in the interior spot markets, where prices were re- duced as much as from 100 to 575 points in single session were features that induced>very heavy trading for long accounts. Highest prices were made on Monday and lowest prices on Sat urday. At the highest the trading months were unchanged to 12 points down, compared with the close of the preceding week, while at the lowest they-were 34s' to 3SS points down. The close showed net losses of BOT to 34s points.
 In the local spot department prices lost 250 points, middling closing at 32.50c. compared with the closing price on October of 26.63c. There was very little demand for spots in this market and total sales for the week were only slightly in excess of 5000 bales The sales of 5000 bales on the spot in the Houston market Friday attracted a great dedl or attention and lead to the bullish contention that the spot de- mand was reviving, while the revision of spot quotations in that market, low grades being raised 100 points, while high grades were reduced 50 points, led to the further claim that the de- mand was at last extending to the lower grades.
 Evidences of a further increase in tho inquiry for the actual stuff will be eagerly looked for this week, and any real improvement in this direction unquestionably woud result in an ac4 tive and excited market The trade will probably have to pay more atten- tion to weather and crop news than was the case last week for the August condition period ends Wednesday. and around that time several private bu- reau reports on condition will appear. Opinion Is sharply divided as to whether the crop has fallen off or held it's own lately. Reports of last week made 1t plain that dry weather was imperative in many sections of the belt. and return to such conditions would probably cause much new sell ing. while continued wet and cloudy weather would bring in a large de- mand.
