CITIZENSHIP TOPIC
IN C|WTAN MEETING
AdvisabiIity of, Compulsory
Training in Schools De-
bated by Club.

The advisability of instituting COM
pulsory courses in citizenship train
ing was argued between Ernest
Greenwood, president of the Inter-
national Association of civitan Clubs,
and Dr. C. D. Mann, secretary of the
Federal Council Of Citizenship Train
ing, at a meeting of the local Ciyitan
Club in the Hotel La Fayette yester-
day,
Following a comprehensive explain
alton by Dr. Mann of the work be-
ing done by the government to. fur
ther the training of young Americans
to become useful citizens, Mr.. Green
wood asked If the educator thought
such matters should be made COM
pulsory in. the public schools.
Absolutely not" replied the speak
er. For the reason that experience
has shown in several large universi-
ties that compulsory courses in any
subject are never as beneficial to the
general run of students as those
where the pupil is permitted to decide
for himself"
Mr.. Greenwood said that he dis
agreed entirely with such argument
and that at present several branches
of Ciyitan were working on plans to
be presented to their respective legis-
latures compelling children to be
taught the essentials of good citizen
ship.
Prior to the discussion, Maj. J.

sible.

airy limit will become effective imme-
diately. Forfeits must be posted by
April Is. The visiting team guaran-
tee Of SIS and $40 rain guarantee was
approved. The admission to games
will be 40 cents for adults and 20
cents for children, war tax included.
A big step was taken in the passage
Of motion to prevent examining" of
a team during the homestretch of a
season. Last year, there was no such
rule. For 1923, however, no players
may be signed after August /, so that
no team may release large number
of athletes and search for more for
the final pennant run. It was provid-
ed that, in the case Of injured or ill
players, they may be replaced with
the permission of the league presi-
dent.
In order that some clubs might use
their playing managers, motion was
entertained to allow "bench" mana
gers to play in 20 per cent. of the
games, but tie vote killed that reso-
luton. The ruling stands as determin-
ed last season.
No manager being outside the sal
airy limit, therefore, will be allowed to
participate in any games. Instead of
81, ZOO, $4,000 will be the monthly
salary limit.
President Thawley announced the
following umpires for 1923: S. R. Der

years staff to be retained; M. H. Nc

REFORMS NEEDED IN
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
Views OF Some OF The Leading
Educators Of The Country :.
Presented Here.

The following are some views of the
leading educators Of the country on
reforms needed in our educational
system:
Make the training Of the senses a
prime object every day. Teach every
child to draw, model, sing or play a
riusical instrument and read music
Charles w. Eliot.
When the American people are
spending annually $4,000, 100000 on
Injuries, certainly they can afford to
spend more than 81, 000,OO0,0O0 year
Oh schools.-John j. Tigcrt.
There is crying need for indie
pendence of Boards of Education
" lillian L. Ettinger.
Music and fine arts antedate the
three Rs. He is a poorly educated
man who lacks in appreciation of the
bcautiful.-George D. Strayer.
The greatest need of our public
school systems today is an opportuni-
ty to catch up with the demands that
have been made upon them in recent
years.-Herbert S. Weet.
A preliminary to any fundamental
educational reform must be the hui
n'anizing of knowledge so as to make
it really vital thing in life.-James
Harvey Robinson.
Our greatest need is to get more
Of the. civic and less of the personal
motive into the hearts of the genera
tion.-William McAndrew.
What our country needs today more
than anything else is not better arti-
sans, mechanics, bookkeepers and
business men, but better and more in
telligent citizens.-Alfred E. Stems.

The Eastern Shore Baseball League
is practically "set" for the otficia
opening of the national pastime OF
the Peninsula on May rs, with thu
completion of the meeting at thu
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce. A
few matters remain to be settled by
the president and the schedule com
mittee, the latter to announce the re-
suit of its work early next week. Witt
the beginning of the 1928 season, TN
Eastern Shore circuit will be al
eight-club affair, two new organiza
tions,, Milford and Dover, Del, having
been accepted and having been rep
resented at the conference presided
over by M. B. Thawley, of Crisfield
the new leader Of the league, who sue
ceeded Walter B. Miller, of Salisbury
Although only the tentative sched'
ule of 81 games is at hand, the fol-
lowing contests were announced fol
the opening day Friday, May rs: Girls
field at Salisbury; Laurel at Cam
bridge; Parksley at Pocomoke; Dove,
at Milford.
A promise of a "Landis Day." some
time during next summer when K. M
Lands, commissioner Of baseball, will
make trip to the Eastern Shore, as
he promised last year, met with ap-
prevail of President Thawley, and he
is confident the various clubs would
delight in the coming Of the "jedge'
to the Peninsula to witness a game at
some central point. Details of this ar
rangement can be worked out later
and all believe that such an occasion
will be a tremendous boost for the
game-one that will financially aid
the league.
Every member club of the league
has pennant visions at this stage of
the game, as naturally it should, and
each has made preparations to
strengthen, at the same time keeping
within the required limit of the cir
cults rules. Beyond that they are
looking for the championship series
with the winner in the Blue Ridge
League, the give State" titled in
stituted by the Baltimore Sun.
Addition of two more clubs indi-
Gates that the league is trying to pro-
duce better baseball for more fans
Parksley, winner of the pennant in
1922, has built a new park and other
wise has made preparations to put its
club on a stronger basis.
Five Of the clubs have decided upon
managers as follows: Salisbury, H.
burton Shipley, who piloted the pen
nant-winning Martinsburg team, OF
the Blue Ridge League, last year;
Cambridge, Herbert Armstrong, the
only pilot Of 1922 to again be at the

Manager Griffith, of Washington
College, has arranged fine schedule
of 10 games for the Maroon and Black
gridmen next season. There are sew
eral newcomers, such as the Marines,
Third Area Corps, Canisus and Haver-
ford. Catholic University and 'Leba-
non Valley were included on last
years schedule.
Of the State colleges, Mount St.
Mary's and St. Johns will be met.
Seven of the 10 games will be played
away from home, due to the fact that
the receipts from home games in foot
ball seldom, if ever, cover the expense
of bringing a team to Chestrtown.
The season will open on September
20 with the Marines, at Quantico, and
close on Thanksgiving Day with Leba-
non Valley, at Chestertown.
Since there are few members of last
years grid team that will be lost by
graduation, the prospects for next
fall are very bright. The record made
by the local warriors last season was
exceptionally good in comparison with
recent years. One must consider the
caliber of the teams played and also
the fact that Coach Kibler had no real
veterans to build his team around.
In 10 games, Captain Stenger's men
registered three victories, played one
tie and suffered six defeats. And in
four instances victory was snatched
from the hands of the local aggrega-
ton in the last few minutes of the
game by such scores as z to 8, 8 to 8
and 10 to ID. With squad of Is can
didates of at least one years expert
ence in college football, Coach KILLER
should pick a team that will be cred
it to the Eastern Shore institution.
Football for several years at Wash
ington College has been at a low ebb,
but by virtue of the aid rendered by
the alumni it was put back on it's feet
last year. Early training was made
possible for the first time in the his
tory of the institution and this in it.
self played an important part in maxi
ing successful season. The alumni
again have made arrangements for
carly training next September. The
