Billy has met Overlin's stablemate twice before and went down to defeat both times just when he appeared ready to scale the ladder of fame. This time the Farrell fighter must win or lose his newly-gained pres tige. Because of the meddling of his manager, Paul Moss, who never saw a boxing glove until he took Soose under his managerial wing, Soose has been none too popular both with the fighting gentry and the press. A loss at this crucial point would definitely put the champion behind the proverbial eight-ball. We think, however, that Soose has learned a great deal since his last setback to Abrams in Pitts burgh more than a year ago and this time will give the rugged Washington, D.

S Ander son, professor of agricultural edu cation. • Dr. Anderson found that only one-third of -a group of young farmers who left school before graduation had expressed a desire to be farmers. "Many of. these who had no de sire to farm might have learned about other ways to make_ a living if they had stayed in school longer," he stated. "Schools should have followed 'up these boys, to find out why they quit and to en courage them to return." - The principal reasons for leav ing school were a chance for a job, failure, disinterest, social malad justment, inaccessibility of schools, and home and family influence. Dr. Anderson urged that more effort should be made to arouse the in terest of retarded pupils and those of lower intelligence, and that more guidance should be given in the choice of agreeable work. "Unless this is done, the new 18 7 year age limit will cause numer ous disciplinary problems for teachers," he explained.
