gestion to offer in regard to raiding
faroff places for promising talent:
IF any expenses are to be paid,
or scholarships are to be given, why
not pass rule that will limit the
territory to the State itself and those
States that border on it? This
would not prevent some student
from distant State coming to any
college and playing football, but he
would have to pay his own expenses
and play without any athletic
scholarship. That would prevent
any college Turing young talent from
Minnesota or Illinois or Pennsyl-
vania to Georgia or Alabama or
Louisiana. 1t is still my belief that
college football players should be on
the same financial and student basis

is EDUCATION SLIPPING?

There seems to be widespread impression that some
thing is wrong with present-day educational systems
is common complaint that boys and girls of today are
not being schooled" to degree at all comparable with
what prevailed in the school days of their parents and
grandparents One occasionally hears an oldster snort
that young folks learn nothing in school nowadays
Going to school easy the school house in the next
bock they're in school about hour then they're
out for recess another hour they're on the way home
for lunch Next they back in school for another
hour or and then school let's out From that time until
bedtime-and the bedtime seems dangerously late for
boys and girls their teens-for hours and hours after
school the young moderns rop the Streets with appar
emily lessons to study at home had to do when
l went to school, No wonder juvenile delinquency in
creases young folks have too much idle time wonder
they learn nothing that's good and plenty that's bad.
Another complains that todays teachers merely keep
school" but don't teach Coored parents apt to
it all up exhibition of color prejudice, not
knowing that there is general fault finding with the ne
cheney of the public schools.
In this connection the following editorial from the
Boston American may help to dspe the notion of racial
prejudice while also strongly hints at defects in the
countrys educational policies.
Our sons and daughters show amazing lack of
knowledge of American history declares the New
York Times, which recently questioned than
1000 students in So of the country's representative
colleges and universities.
The Times found that alarge majority of college
freshmen had virtually no knowledge of the elemen-
tary aspects of American history They could not
identify such names as Abraham Lincoln, Thomas
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson Theodore Roosevelt
and they had little conception of the significant trends
that made the United States the nation is today.
For example 1705 of the 1000 students did not
know that Abraham Lincoln was President of the
United States during the Civil War; and 25 students
went so far astray to list George Washington as
having been Chief Executive during that highly inn
portant period in American history.
Such situation does not cast much credit on our
high schools and academies. One cannot resist ask
ing "What are educators doing with boys and girls
timer" m4a
There should be laws in ALL STATES making the
teaching of American history COMPULSORY in high
schools and colleges.
