 The big moment for Louisville came in the third round when Thomas walked Meyer filling the bases, to take a chance on Pitcher Wright who promptly doubled to right field and cleared the bases.
 In the seventh inning, while Baltimore was making it's big rally, the. Colonels made very strenuous kick on Boley's hit which drove in the last two runs. They claimed it was foul and as a result of the lengthy argument Umpire McGowan banished Catcher Meyer and Second Base man Herzog.

ACADEMY HANDS wINDHAAI
 IA TO a DEFEAT ON CAMPUl

\. F. A. defeated Windham high foot ball Seaun on the Academy campus Sat- :Irday afternoon by the score of 14-0. ,, It ,ooks as if the N. F. A. boys have shaken off it's feeling of fighting easy. :and are showing their real football ability
 r The main reason the team won was she playing of the line. Every man l:olayed his position hard. Time after time Reed or Boynton would charge through center and tackle and not be tackled until the back field men came ,lp. The showing of the team puts a :orighter aspect in the sky for Coach Mckay and the school. Capt. Reed won the toss and elected to receive. On the first play Reed made eight yards through taclle. Again he went through tackle for F yards. Boyn- ton took the ball through center for seven yards and then followed it up for run of 23 yards through tackle for a touchdown. It took exactly two min utes and 47 seconds to make the touch- | down. Brown kicked the goal. l The next score came in the second quarter. The Academy fumbled and made Windhan1 kick. On the first play 1 ed Reed skirted end for 37 yards | Again he took the ball for four yards Boynton made 13 yards through tackle and also F yards, bringing the ball four yards from the goal which Reed easily made on the next play. Brown kicked the goal. They scored no more during the game.
 The playing of the ends was spec tacular, the tackling of Meek and Sem pie was hard and sure. The latter played hard throughout the game, fig uring in most every play. With the team now on It's feet Coach Mckay is not doubtful as to the out 1 ly. Westerly trimmed the Academy d few weeks ago, but they will meet a different team when they lineup against chem. This will be the first home 1 league game.

school becomes more cosmopolitan and
more largely than ever before fin
ishing school rather than a prepara-
tory school for college, it becomes in
creasingly necessary to modify the
courses of study in accordance with
this change in personnel Had that
truth been permitted earlier to influ-
ence high school curriculums, the coun-
try would have been saved from much
of the hectic wave of internationalism
that swept over it year or so ago.
What high school student, for in
stance, knows anything about the pro-
ceedings of the Constitutional Conven-
ton and the debates that preceded the
adoption of each of the provisions of
our fundamental law? What high
schools are teaching today the lessons
of the last three years of our history
and the events in Europe in their re-
lation thereto? Yet proper under
standing of the principles upon which
our government was founded in 1887,
and the triumphant emergence of those
principles in 1920 from the welter OF
supreme. sacrifices international
guarantees, and supergovernments'
that assailed them is complete course
in itself, thorough familiarity with
which should be demanded of every
high school student before he is hand
ed a diploma.
High schools throughout the coun-
try may well profit by the example set
in the schools at the National Capital.
Now is the time to plan the courses
for next year, and the Americanism
that is featuring the. present admin
istration of our government at Wash
ington should also find expression in
an emphasized attention to history and
civics in our institutions of learning"

WASHINGTON NOTES
Ballou Says America First"

Washington, June ga radical
change has been made in the cur
ricuIum of the high schools Of Wash
ington, d. c." notes the Republican
Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
After the beginning of the new school
year in September every high school
student will be required to take
courses in American history and
civics. Foreign languages, on the
other hand, will be made cleo
tive. That means that the grant of
a high school diploma will depend not
all upon proficiency in an alien tongue,
but will demand familiarity with
our own nations history and form of
government. Superintendent Ballou
says he has taken the action because
he believes that a fundamental know
ledge of American history and gov
ernment is a prerequisite for good
citizenship.
The need of widespread refonn Of
the kind inaugurated in Washington
is attestsd in a recent report Of an
official of the National Association Of
Manufacturers. An authoritative in
vestigation Of 5,054 high schools said
he, indicates that only 1000 of those
investigated profess to teach civics and
only 1876 use accredited texts. In the
rest of these 1000 high schools social
studies mean talks on current events
with Indifferent material as the basis.
What the investigation disclosed re-
garding the teaching Of American his
tory is not indicated, but there is lit
tie doubt that too many high schools
gloss over the subject, trusting to in
stitutions Of higher education to make
up any deficiency that may exist along
those lines.
"In making appropriations during
the war to pay the salaries Of WASH
ington school teachers, Congress stip-
ulated that no part Of the money
should be used for the payment Of any
teacher, to give instruction in the Ger
man language That restriction does
not apply to appropriations since made.
1t was an extreme provision, but how
much more arbitrary is it to say that
a pupil shall study German Of any
other foreign language, especially
when a similar mandate does not ap-
ply to American history. Af.ef Sep
tember the situation will be reversed
in the Washington high schools. Every
pupil shall study American history,
and may study a foreign language.
"Dr. Ballou calls attention to fact
that should be more widely recogniz-
ed when he says that as the high
