10 GREAT \ HURRY IN OUR
PUDLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
tAssociate'd Press)

Pueblo Colo, Dec. 1.-THE sever
lasting tendency to hurry" has so
gripped the public schools that
reither pupil nor teacher no longer
have sufficient time to follow the
ordinary rules of health; and thd
modern idea has been so completely
adopted by Children of the Junior high
end high schools as well as their par
ents. that young America seldom
goes home from school entertain
ment party or dance before IL or l
o'clock in the morning, DIR. Tracy
X. Love, secretary of the State Board
of health declared here last night
before the Pueblo health conference
and exposition.
Problems such as these, DR.. Love
sad. are not within the power of
school authorities to control. "It is
therefore," he said, necessary that
mothers of growing children see to it
that the old-fashioned rules of good
food. limited amount of sweets,
outdoor play and plenty of sleep
again become the custom. or we will
face the problem OF increasing num-
bers of under nourished, over-stimu-
'ated, high-strung, nervous children"
There seems to be a growing ten
dency among educators to crowd the
school children with additional sub
thaf l..
are barassed by constant effort to
familiarize themselves with informa-
tion which should be spread over a
longer period in their educational
life" he asserted. ''The children are
required to be in school at an earlier
hour than customary until recent
years. This means that the child
must get up earlier and. consequent
ly. hurry to school to be on time.
In Tpite of the fact that they are
supposed to have study periods so
they do not have to do work at home
ne actual codnitions are so that thew
do bring home their books and have
. study at night-some of them
studying in the afternoons when they
hould be playing outdoors"
Supervised play periods on the
hool grounds once or twice a week
, not take the place of old-fashion-
ed school play time
'The fundamentals of hygeine. al
though being preached to some ex-
mt in the schools, are not being
lived up to. partly because of the
above mentioned conditions and part
y because of the overcrowding in
many schools at present.
"At noon time, particularly in high
schools there is so little time allowed
for lunch that the students have
arely time to eat, and teachers fire.
quently have but five or ten minutes
n which to swallow little soup and
at an apple and get back to the
assroom
'This everlast rig tendency TO hurry
means that the children are more
I'D more tempted to eat sweets and
drink ice cream sodas at lunch in
stead of eating substantial food.
Another real source of danger is
the presence of. so many little stores
located close to school buildings,
ghere it is possible for the children
to run out at recess at noon and
fter school to buy cheap candy
at is the duty of the housewife to
see that the children do not buy
these cheap candies and similar
things which interfere with proper
nourishment."

ADMINISTRATION ABANDONS
UNDERWOOD SHOALS BILL

Washington, Dec 2O-The Coolidge
administration Saturday night virtu-
ely withdrew its support from the
Underwood bill for disposing of the
governments S10O 100000 Muscle
Shoals project
This action, coming as climax to
three weeks of senatorial debate. pre-
sagrd certain defeat of the Under
wood plan, altho the Christmas recess
will delay final decision until the
New Year!
A drift of administration leaders.
almost reaching the proportions of a
bolt, was recorded in favor of the
Jones bill for creating a federal COM
mission to study the project and to
recommend it's disposition in a re-
port to congress before Dec |. 1925.
The drift became pronounced dur
ing the day when nearly every Re-
publican spokesman in the senate an
nounced his preference for the Jones
bill over the Underwood measure.
Previously. they were as one in sup
porting the Alabama senator's plan.
The result reduced the Underwood
supporters from a one-sided majority
to a mere handful of southern sena-
tors.
This movement was led bv Senator
Reed Smoot, Republican. of Utah.
who announced his opposition to the
Underwood bill following confer
ence with President Coolidge His
attitude was indorsed later by such
spokesmen for the administration as
Senator Watson Republican of Indi-
ana Reed. Republican of Pennsylva-
ma and Butler, Republican. of
Massachusetts,.
The attitude of President Coolidge
was explained Saturday night by an
administration spokesman ss follows:
"The president is not welded to the
Underwood bill He simply wishes
to have the senate provide alter
natives of both private and public
operation SO the government can
make most advantageous use of
Muscle Shoals If this dual provision
was in the Underwood bill he would
not oppose it. If the commission be
created, with cabinet officers as
members, he would be disposed to
recomTlend this final disposition of
the project"
These recommendations have been
carried out in the bill of Senator
Jones, Republican Washington. The
committee would comprise the Sec
retary of war apd secretary of agri-
culture and another to be named by
the president. The power generated
at Muscle Shoals would be leased by
the secretary of war subject to terms
imposed by the president Final
word on the projects future, however
would rest with congress.
The progressive groups favoring
the government ownership plan of
Senator Norris. Republican, of Ne
braska, also declared the Underwood
bill was certain of defeat. They con-
tended, however, that the Norris
plan still had "chance to win. This
was the view expressed by Senators
McNary, Republican, of Oregon and
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee.
who have assisted Norris in his fight.

A CHANGE OF SOME
SORT is NECESSARY

Judge Morley, governor-elect. has
surgested change in the primary
election law to which we heartily
agree. As the law now stands a Re-
publican may go into a Democratic
primary or a Democrat into a Re-
nrhlican primary election. and vote
to the disadventage of the opposi-
tion hv selecting the weaker candi-
dates for the general election.
This has often been practiced es-
neciallv when there We're no contests
Cor certain offices in the other party.
II often results in the nomination of
for the opposition in the general cleo
ton
To overcome this Judge Morley
would have the law amended in such
manner as to make it necessary
for a voter to register his or her
p0rtv affiliations, and when entering
the booth on primary election day,
he piver only one ticket-that of the
rarty under which registration has
be n made. thereby eliminating the
possibility of voters casting a secret
ballot for the weaker candidates on

We do not believe voter has n
right TO vote the primary ticket of
the orposition party any more than
they had 1he right TO participate in
the old time conventions of the op-
roeitiou. We are for YOU Judge
Morley on this proposition.-Long-

You see Stickytoes had just told
Johnny Chuck a secret and it was this
secret that SO astounded Johnny Chuck.
1t was the secret of where Stickytoes
had spent the last winter and where he
intended TO spend the. coming winter.
In fact, he was on his way there when
he happened along where Johnny Chuck
was stuffing himself to make sure of
being fat enough to pass the winter in
comfort, and he had told the secret to
Johnny in a whisper when Johnny had
asked him where he would spend the
winter. NJ
You will have hard work believing
it, but it is every word true" Sticky
toes had said. Last fall happened
to be over close to Farmer Browns
house and discovered some very nice
plants right on the doorstep of the
hOusc. Oue uay Wheu no one was
around l visited them and found a lot
of bugs on them which, of course, meant
plenty to eat, so decided to stay there
for while. i knew it was about time
for me to be looking up place to spend
the winter, but just couldn't leave
those nice plants. They were growing
in queer red things, which / believe are
called pots. The earth in these pots
was very fine and easy to dig in and al
ways was damp, because every day
