Several nap1imentary communi- cations have been received by the sporting editor of the Times on the "best dope" yet on the Carpenter and Dempsey fight. brought out in TX. O. Bilr' Brennan's views which were published in Mondays issue. Brennan went on record as saying that Dempsey could lick Carpenter in any round he named, and that the match was shame for the reason that Carpenter hasn't a ghost of a show against the champion.
 Among the letters received is one from "Old Timer who is the warm est Carpenter supporter and Demp- sey hater to show his hand. It's cork ing good stuff. Read it!
 "Mr. Geo. F. Firstbrook,
 Sport Editor, Bridgeport Times, Dear Sir:-
 Bill Brennan says that Car pentier is an amateur and he hopes Dempsey won't kill him in the ring. He says the match is a black eye on the sport. Now, then;
 "Carpentier has been fighting since childhood and is as much at home in the ring as Dempsey is knocking out sparring part nerS. CARPENTER CAME THROUGH THE BIG SCRAP WITH HIS LIFE, so TT IS REA- SONABLE TO ASSUME, THAT NO DRAFT DODGER WILL KILL HIM.
 He says that the sport is a black eye to the game. I agree with him on that point. Demp- sey should have never been aI-

'I was amazed I never before in my life gazed upon such a fine Speci- man of physical manhood Look ed ten times better than when I saw him in Toledo before the Willard fight. He can't lose.

 New York, June 29-Jack Demp- sey's recent fight. with Bill Brennan did much to bolster Georges Carpen- tiers confidence in his chances to win the championship. He made this plain to me the other day at Man haSset.
 ''I look on the Brennan fight with very much satisfaction" said Carp. 'fIt proved several things to me.
 Accounts of that fight show that Dempsey can be hit, and by a boxer who is comparatively slow. If Bren- nan could hit the champion why not I? And believe if I can hit him he will go down. We shall see.
 Another thing. That report con corning Dempseys- condition. Did it not occur to you, MT. Corbett. that in order to take quite a beating from Brennan in the first six rounds and then come back in the final rounds and knock his man out, Dempsey had to be in pretty good condition? -e..Isasm quite sure he was not as bad off as he has been elaimd." ~.7

of having $500 children en-

and good, but what are we going
to do with the 800 who are not

school sentiment sufficient in each
community to compel those chill

almost always the ignorant ele-
ment, forcing parents to send
their children to school is a pro-
lection to the community. Let
US adopt as our slogan "A Good

Our six high schools are SO CEN
trally located that every high
school pupil in the parish can be
accommodated. With our good
roads finished no child will have
an excuse not to get a high school
education. The time has arrived
when the responsibility will rest
with the parent and child and
not on the distance from a school.
The high school enrollments
are as follows:
