which was the brewing centre of
America, who, fighting the submits
sion OF the liquor question to a di-

legislature:
Under our form OF government

Question Is Asked by Teacher
After Reading Story Of
Burning Of Grid Captains
Jersey

Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-It is not often that I rush into
print, but a news article on the sports
page OF your issue Of Wednesday. Nov.
go constrains me to make the attempt
at this time.
The article referred to was headed,
Captain Quits When Coach Burns
Jersey" 1t dealt with the ceremonial
burning Of the Jersey belonging to the
boy who had been captain of the foot.
ball team in zone of the local high
schools" That ceremony had all the
formality Of the degrading. demotihs
and dishonorably discharging Of an Of
ficer for serious misdemeanor In a
military establishment.
No doubt in a military organization
where military matters are the sole
end and purpose of the establishment,
such disciplinary measures are Mt times
necessary. But would respectfully sub
nit the question: Is football the sole
end and purpose for the existence oi
'one of the local high schools or for
any school high or low, or for any col
lege in this land of American If it Is,
then l pray heaven to help that school.
The Coaches Attitude
Il seems from your news article that
the coach in his omnipotence subjected
n boy to about the crlelest treatment
that could be inflicted on boy. because,
forsooth, he did not report for football.
This mighty coach said the boy was
behind in his studies and therefore he
could not use him on the squad: there.
fore the boy did not play football. But
"he removed the marks of failure against
his name" The coach himself says SO.
But he did not report for football.
This writer has nothing against foot
ball or any other manly or boyish sport,
but he insists that sport Is not the first
thing in life. There are several good
and useful men in the United States who
never reported for football
Worked on Conditions
That young man, or boy, rather, was
striving. according to the coach's own
words, to make up for his deficiencies
in the very things for which schools
primarily exist. And the faculty OF
zone of the local high schools" seems to
acquiesce in the coach's decision.
The writer of this note has been a
teacher for forty five years and is still
in the harness. He is not only not op-
posed to football, but was instrumental
in organizing the first football team
that ever played in the school where he
Is now engaged. But, while in favor of
all athletic sports. he wishes hereby to
register his protest against any athletic
coach being the ruling force. with power
Of scholastic life and death, in any
school faculty. ENOCH s. PRICE.
