TOO MUCH FOOTBALL
IN GEORGIA SCHOOLS
DIR, PARKS SAYS

That schools and colleges of Geor.
gia are devoting too much attention
to football and other forms of ath.
letlcs and not enough time to class
room studies, was the opinion ex-
pressed by DR.. M. M. Parks State
superintendent of schools, in a state
ment Monday.
Personally, | have always believed
IN games, and athletics, but not the
type of intercollegiate games We are
having IN some of our colleges and
some of our high schools" DIR. Parks
said The games are taking the minds
away from the serious study, and from
the library and college work.
In some places scholarship is play
ing second fiddle to athletics and
sport and society.
Think of spending from 5000 to
$4O0 each year on each OF the athletes
and rooters, where there are tens of
thousands of country children in
Georgia poorly provided with schools
or teachers or books, and each child
receiving from the state treasury only
S4.88 per year for his education.
he school year is short, the
standards of scholarships in Georgia
are none too good, ond it is unfortun
ate that so many students are losing
so much time from regular school work
Il is time to call halt and get down
10 more serious work, with fewer hol-
days and fewer absences. "-Atlanta
