Wants Religious
instruction in
All Public Schools

Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 1.-THE
most necessary change to be wrought
in American popular education is the
introduction into all the public
schools of religious instruction.
ethical instruction, President Emer-
titus Charles w. Eliot, Of Harvard,
said, in an address today before the
Woodrow Wilson club, of the uni
Vcrsity. Speaking on the function
of education in heterogeneous dem
Ccracies, Dr. Eliot said:
Some of us believe that there is a
fundamental ethical teaching which
may, justly be called religious and
which conveys all the fundamental
motives and all the spiritual powers
without being characteristic of any
Christian. Chinese, Buddhist. Confu-
clan, Hindu. or Moslem church. How
can we get that kind of instruction,
ethical instruction, into all our pub
lie schools? We shall not max
democratic education successful un-
til we have accomplished that object
II imagine that agreement may
possibly be reached among all the
religions represented in this country
as to the fundamental principles
which could be introduced into every
American school. And that. be-
lieve to be the most necessary change

WaterviIIe Hiah Practice

Evidently things We're not running
as smoothly as possible for the Water
vile high squad last night as the
coach was bawling out all of the squad
from the captain to the fifth-string
water boy. The coach has rigid plans
for this weeks work and he intends
that everyone should follow them. He
is keeping in mind that Saturdays
game with Gardiner will be no walk
away.
There was a sharp scrimmage with
two teams on the field. The boys were
going at a good clip but there seemed
to be something lacking and that was
what the coach was trying to get to-
gether. The missing unit was Coop
Grafton. 1t seems that the boys are
not working as they did at the begin

special pains last night to give the

Colby Second String
Men Have Better of
Practice Scrimmage

A real Scrlmmage with both teams
fighting to make touchdoWns was
given to the football squad on Sew

The scrimmage brought out many
bad faults that will be remedicd be-

Among the new men who reported

for the first time in two years and

1t was the only touchdown. of the
afternoon and team A did not stand

The managers Of football were out
early and strung up all the canvass

viii be out of the game. His place was
taken by Donavon. Donavon has been
fray on the schedule. He has not fall
ed to star in a single start and at one
time intercepted q pass and ran So
yards before he was downed. He is a
punter of no mean ability. Thibodeau
and Saucier worked we'll last night.
They ripped up big holes in the second
team for long gains. Saucier has been
especially good this season for his
ability to circle the ends. He has also
been working at quarter. Thibodeau's
ability to boot the ball has been one
Of his big assets. However. his abil-
ity to carry the ball and get down I'M
der passes should not be overlooked.
Clapprood has been improving steadily
chince the start Of the season. He is
showing better judgment in the choice
Nof his plays due to hard work by the
coach.
About the only place that the coach
has no real worry is at the wing posi-
tons. Grant and Michaud have been
performing like veterans Of years.
While neither of these men are flashy
players they are very consistent. They
do not shine during game but both
of them are in every play every min
ute. There are few plays that get by
them.
The tackles have not been bothcring
