Boston, Nov. 13-Governor Cool
idge told members of the Massachu-
sets Teachers Association assembled
at the state house today that in his
public career he had striven always
to stimulate interest in education by
getting the public to make a richer
investment in it. If you want an
interest in any project" he said.

ment in it and then their interest al
ways follows their investment"
Referring to figures indicating thai
the average of the women teachers
salaries in the state has been in
creased nearly 50 per cent in two
years SO that it is somewhere over
$1,000 at the present time, Governor
Coolidge said: while the average
is somewhat satisfactory, we know
that there are still places in Massa-
chusetts where the community has
not yet been able to bring it's stand
ard up to what we would like to see
it. And that we have attempted to
remedy by providing fund for the
purpose of making a Standardization

who are engaged in public school

because it is just as Important that
those who live on the hillside and
the sparsely settled communities

for education as those who live in a

an inclusive way, not only for the

great deal toward the instruction of

WRANGEL FAILS
(Continued from PAGE One)

Bolsheviki were reported to be oc-
cupying Simferopol and capturing
many prisoners and large quantities
of materials.
Information reaching the Foreign
Office says the Bolsheviki did not
storm the Perekop lines, but an envel-
oping movement of their left wing in
vaded the Crimea. They crossed over
the ice frozen Putrid Sea and attack
ed the main body of Wrangels troops
which then were still holding the
Perekop from the rear.
Wrangel has decided not to attempt
guerrilla warfare in the Crimea, the
information adds, owing to the over
whelming Bolshevik forces converging
on the peninsula. which are variously
estimated at between 100000 and
200, 900 men.

Waterville High
Beats Deering, 14-6
Wins Championship

Inc championship football game
played here today between Waterville
High school and Deering High school
was won by Waterville IA to s. The
students of the High school showed
great interest in their team by having
a band lead their procession from the
City Hall square to Seaverns Field
where the game took place Almost
the whole of the student body were
present to march in the parade.
Macdonald of Waterville was the
individual star of the game, with
Pooler and Thompson following close
behind. OF the Deering team, Ward
and Cults were the bright spots.
Captain Hayden also played a good
game on the end.
1t did not take Waterville long to
score after being once warmed up.
Waterville received the ball on a
blocked punt on the Deering 25-yard
line. After making two first downs
bringing the ball to the 3-yard line
it took them three downs to put it
across the goal. Larrabee went
through center for this touchdown.
remainder of the period the ball went
from one team to the other. In the
second period Waterville had the pig
skin most of the time. The playing
was had on both sides. Whenever
the Deering goal was in danger the
team braced against another touch
down. .,
At the beginning of the second
half Waterville fought hard when the
visitors had the ball. This lasted
through the first of the third period.
At one time Waterville was within
the 3O-yard line with but a few yards
to go, but Deering was using every
bit of fight she had in her and Water
willie could -not make those last few
yards. A drop kick was tried but
was blocked by Hanson, the right
tackle, and recovered by Deering.
This was when the Deering drive
started. Watervilie was penalized Is
yards. bringing the ball to about the
center of the field and with that
and good line plunging at the begin
ming of the fourth period, the bali
was on the S-yard line. One end run
was tried which netted them nothing.
Cults then made forward pass over
the goal line to Hanson for a touch
down. The goal was missed, making
the score to 6. The ball was kept
in the middle of the field until Mac
Donald intercepted a forward pass
on the 40-yard line and made Water
ville's second touchdown from which
Thompson kicked the goal This
made the Deering team fight harder
than ever for a second touchdown.
They almost succeeded in doing SO.
The ball was on the Waterville Is
yard line when the final whistle blew.
The whistle probably saved Water
Vile from being scored on again.
