by Chattanooga Convention

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. A.
The closing session of the conVeh-
ton of the Association OF Colleges
and Secondary Schools here was Tea
tured by an address from DR.. George
Zook, of the federal bureau of edu-
cation, who declared that the great
est problem now facing the schools
of the country was the shortage Oh
teachers.
Notwithstanding the painful IL
literacy" with which educators have
to contend, said DR.. Zook, out or
I2,00O, 600 school children in the
United States in 1918, 100000 were
in school. Declaring that thousands
of schools have been closed for lack
of teachers, DR.. Zook said that l6,o0o
more teachers are needed In hlsh
schools this year and that persons
who had miserably failed on state
examinations were accepted as
teachers because the officials were
helpless.
DR.. Zook declared that per cent
or more of the teachers in Illinois,
Ohio, Montana, Nevada, Nebraska,
Alabama, Florida, Georgia and North
Carolina are inefficient,
AT the present rate" said DR..
Zook, ''it will not be long until all
teachers are women and they will
regard men teachers only as fossils
of a dead age. In 1918 there were
100 men teachers to 5l9 women, and
the disadvantage of this condition
the fact women are so uncertain
about permanent service. Some
times they take up other work, but
usually 1t Is matrimony"
Prof. Lorne w. Barclay, of Column
bia university, urged the ACCESSIBILITY
of making a study of Boy Scoutdom
as a part OF the school curriculum.
not with the idea of making scouts,
but simply to instruct and promote
the principles Of Scoutdom.
The commission on accredited
schools recommended that the asso-
citation make an effort toward Sc
curing a course in commerce and an
amendment was adopted making
$500, 900 the minimum required en-
dowment for accredited schools.

1t is RUDE MarQuard.
RUDE has been up quite a while
John McGraw kept him on the bench
after ne was purchased from the
Indianapolis club Of the \. A. The
RUDE was the first ball player to com.
mand such a figure. The figure has
been surpassed many times since, but
that has nothing to do with this story.

son. But no matter what kind OF pitch
ing he did he was usually in the lime
light. He married Blossom Seeley and
he appeared on the stage. Later ne
and Blossom separated.
McGraw let him go to Brooklyn, but
last year he didn't pitch any because
of a broken ankle.
He's back in shape this spring-no

almost as boyish as when he left the
minor league.
Thoy all think he's pretty good.
Tho Dodgers also are banking on Al
MamauX for sensational comeback
Leon Galore should pitch great
baseball for Robinson, too.
And then there are Grimes and
Pfeffer.
Sherrcd Smith will help Marquard
do the portside heaving.
Clarence Mitchell may make the
seventh member of the staff, which
then would be composed of four right
handlers and three left-handers.
Three left-handers generally is more
than can work regularly, but remem
Der Gayvy Crayath saying q good staff
of left-handers could beat the best
teams in the National.
Anyhow, the seven named are so
mony good reasons for the Brooklyn
club being considered factor in this
years pennant race.
The pitching staff really looks good
and with good pitching the rest of the
Dodgers may be heard from again in
1920.
They haven't had any pitching since
they copied the flag in 1916.

Sand Lot Boys
To Ban Splitter

/ The spitball, sinner and all other
artificialities of the pitching trade soon
will be history.
They're banned in the major leagues
and in some of the minors, and now all
indications point to the enacting OF
similar legislation by the National
Baseball Federation when the sandlot
moguls gather in Cleveland in the mid.
die of the summer.
The sandIotters follow close onto
the heels of the big leagues. They use
the big league playing rules.
On first thought you might not con.
slider such action very important; but
did you know tho woods was full OF
spitballers, shine-ball artists and
others employing tricks of delivery?
