that among the young stars Of local

Nothing which has done as much
good in an educational way as has the
state interscholastic league can be to-
tally bad" Miss Ora johnson, prin-
cipal of Breckenridge High School
declared today.
Miss johnson strongly refuted q
charge that the race for the state foot
ball championship had brought pro-
fessionalism into the high schools and
was in danger of dominating the edu-
cational system.
There is possibly some truth to the
statement in regard to professionalism
among the football teams in the north
ern part of the state" Miss johnson
said. "No organization with the pro-
portions of the state league could be
conducted without flaws creeping in.
But to say that the entire system is
at fault is mistake.
DESIRE FOR EDUCATION.
"Take the state basket ball, trach
and literary meets. for instance" con-
tinued the Breckenridge principal
They have attracted contestants from
the small communities and from the
country, enabled them to spend a day
or two around the Texas University
campus, and thus instilled in them a
desire for higher education.
What greater results could be de-
sired than that? Ear from breaking
down the educational system, it has
had exactly the opposite result"
Miss johnson was reticent in dis
cussing a Dallas educators recent
charges of commercialism in high
school football, but admitted that GER.
tain alterations in the rules might be
necessary if the state race is to be
kept clear of such charges in future.
She is a member of the committee
which will meet in Austin next Thurs
day and Friday for the purpose of re-
vising the rules.
OPPOSES PERCENTAGES,
At the Austin conference the rules
of the league will be studied carefully
by the delegates, after which each one
present will give suggestions as to
their alteration.
Miss johnson, while unwilling to be
quoted on any changes which she
might advocate at the meeting, ex-
pressed herself against the practice of
employing football coaches on a per-
centage basis. The two local coaches
are paid straight salary, she pointed
out, and are faculty members.
