SCHOOL TWO-SPORT RULING REAFFIRMED Board Action Favors Athletic Training for Mass Rather Than Versatile Few. CENSORSHIP FIGHT FAILS Greenwood Unable to Obtain Ac- tion Abolishing News Ban. High school athletes will be barred | from participating in more than two major sports at the beginning of the next scholastic year in September as the result of the action of the board of education yesterday afternoon in reaffirming the res: adopted January 2, indorsing the “two-sport rule” Major sports in the high echools are foot ball, base ball, track and basket ball. Despite the protests echool principals who the “two-sport rule” would work a hardship on the institutions’ with small student bodies, , the , athletic committee of the board, headed by Julius 1. Peyser, recommended that it be put into force. The board adopted the recommendation without debate. The “two-sport rule” aims to give athletic training to a mass of stu- dents rather than’'a few versatile athletes. Move Against Censorship, Another move by Ernest Greenwood 20 have the board rescind its much eriticized news censorship rule failed when a second to his motion was not forthcoming. The ruling was again re- ferred to a special committee for further consideration. Mrs. Laura D. P. Morgan, chairman oathe committee &ppointed to investigate and report on the news-muzzling order, told the board that the committec had been unable to work out a satisfactory plan for the dissemination of news originating at the Franklin School after a conference with the reporters assigned to “cover" the school ad- ministration headquarters, but point- ed out that personally she that censorship should be continued Mr. Greenwood, a member of the mpecial committee, tendered his res- ignation as such declaring that “I am not going to fool with this thing any longer. You are wasting 2ime considering it” he said. “Its open and shut that you favor the pontinuation of this rule.” Definite steps to eliminate high school system of the term “manual training high school” was taken by the board when it voted to <hange the name of the Armstrong Manual Training School to “Arm- strong Technical High School.” The pew McKinley Manual Training School will have the nanie of McKinley #rcchnical High School. Sentiment for Change. The board was told that there is blution of the high claimed that in the growing sentiment in favor of such | & change throughout the country. The Armstrong school change came before the board when the architects asked for the proper designation to be placed over the entrance of the new addition now under construction. Before hig attack on the news-muz- ziing order, Mr. Greenwood opened fire on the ezecutive meetings of the board’s standing ocommittees, and gsked the board to put itself on record @s to whether such meetings should Be held behind closed doors or open to the ‘public. Action was defefred until the next meeting. “My aftention has been called to the fact that some of the committees of the board are holding closed meet- jngs,” sald Mr. Greenwood. “All of tho meetings of my committee are open, and 1 want the board to take gomie definite stand in the matter. If We are gaing to have closed meetings of the standing committees they are Zoing to be. just dress rehearsals and the will be back just where it was formerly on secret sessions.” Aa appeal was made to the board believes | Pressure of Work Forces President To Give Up Walks The steadily increasing pressure of work at the Capitol incident to the approach of a congressional adjournment has brought action at the White House in the virtual abandonment by President Coolidge of the early-morning walks he has been accustomed to take regularly since he entered the White House. The President during the winter left the White House almost every morning for a half-mile walk b fore breakfast. Although still practicing the habit of ng early, Mr. Coolidge recent been foregoing the walks in order to spend the time in his study go- ing over matters coming before him in connection with completed or soon-to-be completed legisla- ion. His only exercise nowadays s a long walk in the evening just after he leaves his office for the d t> permit the German relief commit- tee to raise funds i the schools by Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, chair- man; Miss Sophie Levin, secretary and Dr. John Ryan Deveréaux. With- out violation of its rule barring the | solicitation of funds from school chil- dren, the board agreed that the com- mittee could disseminate knowledge through the schools as to the condi- tions in Germany and at the same time distribute envelopes for the col- lection of funds. The money, how- ever, must be collected outside of the schools. Contract for Uniforms Let. The contract awarded to a firm in Red Bank. N. J., for furnishing uni- forms to high school cadets for the next scholastic year was approved by the board. The privates’ uniforms will cost $1910 and the officers’, $21.40. Completed plans for the new Ber- nard T. Janney School. in Tenleytown, which will replace the old Tenley School, were submitted to the board by Mr. Greenwood, chairman of the buildings and grounds committee, and were approved. The Commis- sioners notified the board that the Bancroft School would be completed September 15. The - board devoted considerable time to a discussion of whether it could legally pay to Miss Blanche Bi- mont, French teacher at Western High School, $206 in salary which she lost when reporting for duty two days after the beglaning of a school term. The question was referred to the finance committee. A protest against the rule limiting teachers in the night schools to four years' consecutive service was refer- red to the personnel committee for a report at the next meeting. A special committee was appointed to indestigate the complaint of L. G. Arnold, principal of the Wormley School, against alleged. efforts of po- lice officers to take a pupil from the school without & warrant. Book Gift Accepted. Upon the: recommendation of Wil- liam Huston, the board accepted a book, “The Washington High School Review,” published . in 1887-1888, and donated by Herbert L. Davis, auditor of the District Supreme Court. The book ‘contains items of interest per- taining to the high school of Wash- ington and will be turned over to the Central High School Library. One of its features.is an account of the death of Principal Paul of the Wash- ington High'School, who was killed in an geeident while riding a bicycle. The secrecy surrounding the school budget was attacked by Capt. Peyser. The school estimates, he contended, are the board's property and are not af- fected by the' law guarding the secrecy of the budget until they are presented to the Commissioners. Acting on the recommendation of Mr. Greenwood, the board voted to appoint a domestic science and a manual train- ing teacher for the inmates. of the Mercury appeared as a Copyright by P. & A. Photos.

STRESSES REPORTERS’ NEED FOR GOOD MEMORY Theodore Tiller Speaks to Journal- ism Students at George Washington U. The importance of a good memory in handling news which relates to public men and especially to congres- sional matters was impressed upon the evening class in journalism at George Washington University, ves- terday, by Theodore Tiller, Washing- ton correspondent of the Atlanta Journal He said that it was more important than a knowledge of shorthand in all classes of newspaper work, be- ause it was necessary for the report- er to get the vital points in any state- ment, and the memory was essential Mr. Tiller explained the task that was before the standing committee of Washington correspondents in as- signing the seats to writers who would attend the conventions of the two big parties this year. This com- mittee had charge of the press ar- rangements, and the demand far ex- ceeded the accommodations. The speaker also told of the rapid- ity with which the various investiga- tions developed here in recent months {and of the great efforts it was neces- sary for the correspondents to make in order to keep up with the news.

The Medical Society of the Distriot of Columbia voted last night to ap- point a committee to consider plans for establishing a permanent public diagnostic cancer clinic here. This action was recommended by the executive committee, and the need for such an institution was explained by Dr. Simon R. Karpeles in a report on the temporary clinic the society maintained in the Medical building. 1718 M street northwest, last month in alding the campaign against cancer conducted by the District of Colum- bia committee of the Americun Socie- ty_for Control of Cancer. Declaring that this clinic—an in- novation in the Capital—had more than justiBed its operation, Dr. Kar- peles said that in six days 308 patients had received examination and advice, and that more than 20 per cent of these had shown symptons which call- od for “grave consideration.” Many Mentally Aided. As for the rest of the applicants, he added, the fears which they felt for their condition had been allayed by competent diagnosis, which de- termined that the disease was not in evidence. Applicants still are coming to the Medica! building, the speaker added, seeking clinical attention. Dr. C. W. Richardson, a member of the committee arranging for the visit here, May 15, of the Philadelphia Medical Club, announced that approx- imately 350 physicians would make the trip They .will be recelved by President Coolidge, will make a tour of Inspection of Naval and Walter Reed hospitals and place wreaths on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington and on the statues of Dr. Samuel ‘D.
