4 The Duties of Parents.”
His theme was unison of the home,
tnat the responsibility of the child
did not rest on one parent but on both
father and mother. He said in our
modern way of living that often times
the child did not come in contact with
both parents except at t h e dining
table; that the home was ofen only a
boarding and lodging house; that par
ents assumed a grave responsibility
in rearing children and many times
the future of the child was due to
neglect of this responsibility.

6TH WIN
Yellow Jackets Wallop Aulan
der A7 to 0—Use 40
Players
Coach Hoyle put in 40 players last
Friday who ran up a score of 40
points and held Aulander to 1 lone
first down that came in the closing
minutes of play. This was the Jack
ets’ sixth consecutive victory of the
season and they have kept their home
slate clean so far. The varsity play
ed only three minutes during the en
tire game, scoring 14 points. They
ran seven plays to score in the first
quarter and four plays to score in the
third quarter. The second and third
teams played the remainder of the
game and other reserves saw action.
Aulander didn’t offer much along
the line of offensive and defensive
drive, the locals smearing all of their
plays except the pass that netted
them a first down. The two teams
weighed about the same, but the Jax
had the faster backs. This game was
expected to be a close one as the Jax
won last year by a score of 14 to 6.
This game will be the last set-up of
the season, as the Bees have a tough
card from now on.
