In Games Played Spaulding
Is Tied With Burlington
High School !

Spaulding high school defeated Peo-
Piles academy of Morrisville at Norris
vile last evening, 20 to 10, thereby re-
tanning her standing in the basketball
league of the northern Vermont high
schools. According to Burlington high
school claims, Spaulding is second to
Burlington, but in reality Spaulding is
tied with Burlington for first position
as each team has played eight games
and lost two. Burlington at Montpel-
Ter last evening won from Montpelier
high, rs to Is, and st. Adams high at
Waterbury defeated Waterbury high,
IA to 8.
Coach Ross last night at Morrisville
used the lineup which played the latter
half of the Goddard Spaulding game
this week, but substituted in the last
half of the game Tierney for Mcdonald
at forward and OLeary for Smith at
guard,
Only the final result of the game
was given Principal Hunt over the tel
ephone last evening, and further details
OF the game will not be learned until
the arrival of the team to-day.

WOMEN ENDORSE AMENDMENTS
Advisablity of Changes In School Laws Discussed By
Mrs. H. G. Reynolds, Federation President

The women of the state are vitality
interested in the passage of the two
amendments to the Constitution which
are to be voted on next November.
Mrs. III. G. Reynolds, president of the
Federated WOmen's Clubs of the State,
when asked for a statement concerning
the attitude of the Federation, said: /:
The Kentucky Federation of WOm-
ems Clubs in convention, assembled
May 1921, unanimously endorsed a res
olution recommending the passage Of
the two amendments which will go 50
far toward lifting Kentucky from the
disgraceful position which she now oc-
cupies in the educational statistical
tables and pledged the earnest sup
port of their 10000 members through
their personal efforts and their Legis-
lative Committee

advisabilty of taking the office Of

as to admit of no counter argument.

ished by the succession to office of 4

mo business executive would put

fixed idea of discharging and replacing
him at brief stated intervals with a
successor chosen blindly f...I a motley
collection of applicants. Yet this
fdiotic process, which would so quickly
be rejected in private affairs, we COM
placently saddle on the children of our
State, our most precious asset and our
only hope for the future.
'aThe companion amendment is eS
sential to the complete reform of the
Kentucky school systems. 1t required
no more support than that accorded it
by justice and logic"
After making the above strong state
ment concerning the two amendments
to the Constitution, Mrs. Reynolds con-
tinued:
There is a third point whicn fits
in completely with the proposed re-
forms and which seems essential to
its entire fulfllment and should be-
come a law. The development of the
child from six TO twenty years is large
ly the problem of the women. A large
portion of those years is spent in the
schoolroom. The mother is in close

1.-TWO of the most daring and In
genious of these were the Barbarossa
brothers. Red Beard terrorized the
Mediterranean world from CONSTANT
nople to the Pillars of Hercules. The
excellent harbors and the island hldS
ing places made it possible for him to
defy the fleets of England, Italy,
Spain and Holland, to levy tribute on
all the vessels that passed over the
highway, to capture the richly laden
Papal galleys bound for Rome in Mos
lem defiance Of ChriStendom and
chain the Christians to their oars. In
1910, at that time notorious and i'm
mensely wealthy, he changed the base
of his operations to the island or
Jerba, off the coast of Tunis, Where
the Fates ceased to smile so kindly
upon him. After many hard-fought
battles and viciSsitudes Of fortune he
fell before the forces of Charles
of Spain near Tremizan on African
soil. He had actually escaped, BUT
upon learning that his faithful fol-
lowers were close pressed he returned
to die with them. The career of his
brother Kheyr-er-din is scarcely less
romantic.

the riches which had been brought
by Spanish galleons and mule packs
from the interior. He escaped with
an inestimable amount Of gold and
jewels, ingeniOusly employing a fire
ship against the Spanish to accom-
plish his escape when he was bottled
up in Maracaib0 lake. Finally he
took and sacked the city of Panama.
Then leaving his companions in the
lurch, he slipped away at night with
all the booty to Jamaica, ingratiated
himself with the governor, and was
clever enough to get himself into the

the narratives was really respectable
sailor in the merchant service with
a wife and family in New York when
he was commissioned by the English
king in 1890 with power to seize and
destroy off the American coast all
pirate ships. Having been given ships
and crews to accomplish the purpose,
he gayly set sail across the Atlantic,
around the Cape of Good Hope to
Madagascar and the Red sea to ravage
East India waters and convert to his
own uses his captures. Then he hied
himself, so the story goes, to West
Indian waters and buried his super
fiuous treasures before he finally went
to Boston where he was captured, sent
to England for trial, was executed and
his body left to dangle in the wind
for years as a warning to sailors"

"The total cost for tobacco, in AL
it's forms, in 1920, was five times the
total of teachers salaries in 1918 and
almost exactly the same as the total
cost for elementary and secondary
education for the three years, 1916,
1917, and 1918. If in some moment of
high enthusiasm and patriotic devotion
the people who use tobacco had agreed
among themselves to smoke two cigar
cites instead Of three, two cigars in
stead of three, take two 'chaws' in
stead Of three, and two dips instead of
three, and had paid TO the support
Of the schools the money thus saved
for the year, the salaries of teachers
in schools of all grades, public and
private, could have been increased

more than we have paid for higher

SCHOOL TAX HELD
TO BE ENORMOUS
Yet Twenty-Five Times as Much Is
Spent For Luxuries.

The taxpayer grOans at our enor-
nous school tax. Numerous other peO-
pie mention the fact that the United
States spent almost a billion dollars
for public education in 1918!
Is billion dollars a huge sum to
invest in training the brains of the
children of the country? The answer
to this question of investing a billion
in education is answered by a recent
statement by the Department of Edu-
cation at Washington. A portion Of
the statement is given here:
According to Government returns
for 1920, the people of the UniteI
States spent for luXuries in that year
$22,700000, 900; more than 23 times rs
much as they spent for education only
two years before, and six billions, or
80 per cent, more than we have spent
for public EDUCATION in all our history.
Expenditures for luXuries in 1920
