SCHOOL AGAINST
BAN ON SMOKING
Votes Against Resignation of Baseball
Manager Who Broke
Athletic Rule.

Lester r. Haywood. manager of the
Brattleboro high school baseball team,
rendered his resignation this morning
in the assembly of the high school because
of some conflict with Baseball Coach
Howard Page regarding the rule of the
athletic advisory council prohibiting
smoking by managers of high school ath-
letic teams.
Regardless of the fact that Heywood's s
resignation automatically took effect with
the violation of the rule, the high school
students by narrow margin voted to re
fuse to accept it. This vote did not affect
in the least the fact that Haywood can
no longer serve as manager of the team
because of the ruling made by the ath-
letic council, but it did tend to show
that there was decided opposition to the
smoking rule being applied to managers
Preceding the action on the resigna
tion of the baseball manager 10 members
of Miss Bagg's biology class of the Brat
tlebOro high school gave a very interest
ing program in connection with the con
servation of the resources of nature.
Lorenzo Coleman opened the program
with the reading of President Harding
Arbor week proclamation. This was fol
| lowed by an essay on the Conservation
of Wild Flowers given by Marjorie Pier
A very interesting account of the steps II
the proper preservation of trees was
given by Lyman Adams. This was fol
lowed by a short play given by Heller
| Dalrymple. Winifred Cain, Lorraine
| Strouse, Alfred Martin, Charles Crosby
! Leo Morrisseau and John Lawton. Th'
| play, which in an original manner
| brought out facts about the rat pest ane
| about vivisection. was very cleyerly giveI
and the students enjoyed it very much.

Watching Ben Legere.

LAWRENCE, Mass, April 10.-With
the Pacific mills closed in all departments
and the principal immediate objective of
the textile workers on strike against a
wage cut thereby gained, the industrial
situation here entered another stage to-
day beginning the third week of the
strike. Four small cotton mills c0ntin-
ued operations on small scale. Ap-
proximately $4,000 persons are out OF
work. The strikers let up but little in
their picketing activity.
The city government, with some con-
Germ. watches the development of the an
nounced plan of Ben Legere, leader of the
one big union, for a "a hour sympathetic
demonstration by workers of all kinds in
the city. He is endeavoring to enlist all
who work for wages in one big demon
Straticn ''to show the mill owners that
public sentiment is with the strikers.
Everything will stop for one day from
midnight to midnight if Legere has his
way.
Members of the city government say
there is no need of u demonstration of
that kind to show where public sentiment
on the issue is. Almost without excep-
tiOn the five aldermen, who are the city
fathers, feel that the wage cut of 20 per
cent coming on top of a 2215 per cent
cut a year ago is too much. They have
not heSitateQ to say so.

APPRECIATION OF MUSIC.
Public Today Finds More Enjoyment
Than Ever Before.

People listen TO good music with ap-
probation and enjoyment as never be
fore. The charge that modern taste runs
to jazz - and barbaric melodies is akin
to the statement that good books are
not read as they once were. The fact is
that high class books have larger cir
Gle of readers than ever, and high class
music Il larger circle of intelligent ad
mirers. But since books and music are
to be found everywhere nowadays there
Is naturally an increased market also
for stories and musical numbers "'of
the baser sort. -
The phonograph has introduced the
greatest singers of the age and the finest
compositions of all time to communities
and homes where these would never
otherwise have been heard. Tastes for
such music have been created and culti-
waited. And now the wireless telephone
promises to make the best cocert music
available to "listeners in' all over the
country.
The public of today has not only ap
petite for good music but capacity to
appreciate the many different kinds OF
good music, the cosmopolitan taste
which enables an audience to sit down
to a musical BANQUET and enjoy every
course Toronto Star.
