Without tearing a grudge a-

in favor of it; and this for sev

The students refuse to return unless
J, rrideni Farley is removed. They
lequesteil J. A. Whitehurst, president
t,i the state hoard, to make a personal
investigation of the charges which
they prefer against the head ot the
school. Mr. Whitehurst stated that
the investigation conducted by the two
iiit-iiiliei'.s of ihe hoard was satisiact-
ory and that President Farley would

lo Hitsiaiu him in an effort to maln-
i.iin the school with as little change as
tins ible until the end of the term,"
John A. Wlillehurat, president of the
hoard, said.
No formal charges against Farley
have been filed so far, Whitehurst
, aid. Personal complaints were made
lo board members while they were in-
vestigating condition-s at the school,
he said, but they were not then con-
sidered to be of such a nature as to
warrant his removal or eensure. The
n.imal charges because of which the
investigation was made were against
,h-s. Augusta Shepler, matron of the
school lie said, and her resignation re-
moved the necessity for the presenta-
tion of evidence against her.
The members of the board of agri-
culture said that while they could not
undertake to say without qualification
that the attack upon Mrs. Shepler was
a conspiracy against President Farley,
they saw during their investigation in-
dications of such a plan. So far as
the board was concerned the attack
upon Mrs. Shepler was a closed mat-
ter before the investigation of Presi-
dent Farley's conduct was undertaken,
they said.
Of the ten teachers in the school,
four did not report, Whitehurst said.
Their action, he said, was taken to
mean that they would not remain on
the faculty. They are A. E. Lang, as-
sistant in agriculture; H K. Rainey
raanual training; Miss Marie McLc
more, Kn^lish and history, and 1 nh j

1. Though it is our common
endeavor to draw all men to
Christ, we have no right to forct
our moral views upon those who
do no' share our conviction*.
2. Even in the Christian view
point baseball does not conflict
with the Sabbath precept, not
any more than do car-riding, pi-
ano playing or (allow the ex-
pression i street loafing On the
contrary, indulging in a dean
spirited game affords recreation,
and therefore rest to those who
need it most and cannot have it
on week days, namely; profes-
sional men, laborers and farm-
ers. The two latter classes es-
pecially cannot all ord to profit
by the proposed ministerial reso-
lution and lay olT on week days
even if our merchants and pro-
fessional men could do so at
qvite an inconvenience
3. Those who wish to attend
Sunday services will find ample
time to do so both morning and
evening, if they care to, and will
find an hour or two in the after-
noon spent in enjoying the na-
tional game a fefreshing diversion
4. I know that is this matter
I am voicing the the honest senti-
ment of the vast majority of our
citizenship. Therefore be it
RESOLVED in the interest of
ALL in the community that on
Sunday afternoon we be all in-
vited around the diamond to wit-
ness the enthusiastic discussion
of the topic: "PLA1! BALL!
