Terry in Line; Five
Giants Now Unsigned

NEW YORK, Feb S.-Six little
giants, seeking higher pay; Willum
Terry signed, so there's only five
today.
With the receipt of the slugging
first baseman's contract, the new
York holdout colony consists of Gar
land Buckeye, the biggest part of
the pitching staff (he weighs 240
pounds); handy Andy Reese, and
two regular outfielders, Welsh and
Leach.
Dave Bancroft, who signed with
Brooklyn yesterday. probably will
be used for utility purposes in view
of the acquisition of Glenn Wright
from Pittsburgh.
Miller Higgins, manager of the
Yankees, left for st. Petersburg,
Fla, to play golf with Babe Ruth
before training starts.

Immediately after it passes

back the wrists and keeping

Two of the coaches, Eddie Far,
rell, Of Harvard, and Harry Hill
man, of Dartmouth, appear to
daily with insinuations in which
the ugly word. politics" rears its
head.
Three of them, Farrell, Hillman
and Jack Ryder, of Boston College
and the Boston A. A, were mem
bers of the 1928 staff at Amster-
dam. All of them-the others be-
ing Harry Gill, of Illinois, and
Keene Fitzpatrick, of Princeton
agree that we kill our good men
in a dubious effort to sustain the
fact that they are good.
Their Outbursts were inspired
as a direct result of an article,
"The Competition Was Too
Keen written by jackson
SChOlZ, member of the last three
Olympic teams and the 200-meter
champion in the 1924 games.
The five coaches mentioned sug.
gest that we minimize the inn
portance of final tryouts and Try
to arrive at a selection, mostly,
suspect, on general principles.
The plans advanced by Farrell,
Fitzpatrick, Hillman and Ryder vary
only in detail, not in principle; that
of Gill merely calls for the training
season being shortened ard the ex-
pansion of the final tryuuts to an
interval of three or four days to
save the wear and tear on sinews
and biceps.
Farrell has an ambitious scheme,
which calls for the raising of a
permanent $3,000,000 fund, the in
terest from which will defray the
expenses of the trip, eliminate
politics" and prevent the duplica-
ton of effort. He wants pre-Olympic
trials a year in advance, at which
time so per cent of the team would
be selected Professionally. The Sc
lection would become absolute IT
these men continued to perform
we'll before the final trials, which
he wants held not less than seven
weeks before the games.
He also wishes the head coach
to be in absolute charge, indi-
eating again that popularity,
such as the A. A. us must be
deserved. Fitzpatrick thinks Sc
lections can be made from the
results Of college and A. A. U.
competitions by a committee OF
six coaches and one prominent
official. thus eliminating the
Examinations altogether.
Hillman wants only three meets
to establish the identity of the men,
the meets to start so days before
final selection. Two weeks before,
he would have provisional team
placed sunder observation and the
selections made from the findings
of those who do the observing.
Ryder strings along more or less
with Scholz, who declared for the
outstanding men being picked a
year before the games. The Boston
coach would have had these stand
outs in England a month before the
games, with trials being held for
the remaining places. He becomes a
bit ironical in pointing out what he
feels to be the absurdity Of granting
the mile runner and the jaVelin
thrower the same week of training
on the other side.

TEACHER N0L0NGER|
 WELDING THE ROD|
Reasoning Takes Place of Cor poral Punishment in Schools

The old hickory stick, the wood shed punishment, the cat-o-nine- tails, the razor strop have more or less passed into oblivion with the time-worn saying. Spare the rod and spoil the child" and in the mod ern school all forms of corporal punishment have been abolished. But, according to a teacher who has the distinction of being one of the oldest in the New Britain system, the children are not the worst be- cause modern means of correcting misbehavior are better.
 There are many systems which can be used to gain satisfactory re- suits if it is found that punishment is needed and all of them are su- perior to the corporal type which was the principal system used in the little red school house." the teacher says.
 Corporal Punishment Vanisl'es
 The change from the old to the new came gradually. Even long ago there were teachers who did not be- lieve in this system and as time went on more were added to the ranks. Soon it became apparent that the system was not satisfactory and at present few If any school eXecu- tives in the United States recom- mend it.
 One principal whose school is in the northern section of this city de- clared that she finds the best meth- cd is to talk to the boy or girl privately. She makes them realize that it is wrong to disobey the school discipline rules. An appeal to the pupils honor is often efficacious, but in aggravated cases confinement either after school or in an insti- tuition brings results.
 An impression in the minds of people is that modern teachers are too young to gain the respect of the pupils, but this is answered by Ia veteran school principal who says that the teachers are no younger than those who used to teach and in many instances they were younger then.
 Formerly a teacher who had re- ceived high school diploma could teach in some of the elementary schools. Since many pupils were graduated at the age of r and IS years IL Was not an uncommon sight to see a girl of that age teach ing a class.
 Pupils Get a Broader View
 That pupils obtain broader views in the modern educational 6y.tem is the opinion of the leaders of education. They combat the argu- ment favoring the old three R's with facts proving that the pupil who is graduated today is better fitted for the work set for him or her in the world
