PIGKELL EXPLAINS WHY FIGHT OCCURRED

Certain privileges which he has heretofore enjoyed will be denied Robert Phillips, high school student, by Principal P. G. Pickell. for the part Phillips assumed in a -iged disobedience to the orders of F. H. Gillespie, commercial department instructor, which resulted in a strucile in a toilet room of the hirh school building recently. . Principal pickell today in making an explanation of the affair said that it was Gillespie and not Phillips who was uppermost after the student and the teacher had fallen to the floor in the struggle. The principal supports the action of the teacher in ordering the boy to leave the toilet room. "There was no fight and no one was whipped,- said Mr. Pickell in a statement to the public today, "the boy in question sir-ply refused to leave the toilet room when told to do so by Mr. Gillespie. "It is against the rules for students to loiter in these rooms. Mr. Gillespie, when the boy refused to leave, tried to put bin out and his efforts resulted in a struggle. There were no blows struck. "The teacher got the boy down on the floor and was on top of him. They quit struggling when I came in. "Mr. Gillespie is . not in the habit of creaticg disturbance and he can be counted upon to do right. He's sorry that the trouble occurred. Neither he nor I believe in the use of physical force to have orders executed. Teachers don't do that nowadays."

STUDENTS SELECT NEXT YEAR'S WORK

Advisors of the high school who are meeting with the students to assist in the selection of studies for the next semester are receiving a list of Instructions from Principal F. G. Pickell, one of which advises them "not to attempt to valuate generally the importance or lack of importance of the work of any department." They are told to simply satisfy themselves that their judgment is sound and that the parents and students have good reason for their choice of studies. The teachers are told too to insist upon the parent knowing what the student is taking in school especially if he does not intend to enter college as the high school will not assume responsibility in cases of that kind.
