on limitation of armaments and Far

Pacific question Is not so much a
question of the ocean Itself, a the
Innumerable large and small Island

It wa not until a generation ago
that the great power perceived the
Immenae value of the Pacific islands,

Pacific angle of the conference made

"If modern fleet had to be oper

such distances under water without
relay stutions. offensive naval war

B.H.S. STUDENTS
DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT
APPEALED TO
ROCKWELL TO LEAVE
Students Appreciate Kfforta of Direc
tor But Iti-fuM- To Relieve Paul
son In Wrong, Say Under
graduate Speaker. "
An explanation of the charge
which were the basis of Mark A.
Paulson' dismissal as high school
principal wa made this morning by
E. P. Mahaffey. member of the school
board, before the high school assem
bly. He stated that Paulson had re
fused to allow Frank Rockwell to
leave after he had been discharged
stating that he, Paulson, "was no Jel
lyfish," and that Rockwell bad a con
tract. Both Paulson and Rockwell have
recourse at law. and are expected to
avail themselves of It, said Mr. Ma
haffey. If the board wa wrong in
discharging them. It expects to pay
for Its mistake.
That the board was actuated only
by lu desire for the school's welfare
throughout the matter was Mahaf
fey' declaration, showing that id a
situation where the school system
lacks an executive head. It cannot
function.
Rockwell leaving
Rockwell Is leaving today, his
place to be taken by a Reld college
graduate.
Carl A. Johnson, the next speaker,
appealed to the democratic spirit of
the students, that the greatest good
should be sought for the greatest
number. In matters like the present,
the school board must be at the head,
be stated.
President McRoberts of the stu
dent body slated that the students
appreciate the efforts of the directors
for their good, but that they could
not agree that Paulson had been
either insubordinate or incompetent.
Rockwell was retained and Dewey re
fused admittance into the high school
building on an understanding that
nothing would be done until after the
student body meeting that morning.
he said.
McRobert charged that the local
newspapers are not behind the
schools, and that they condemned
Paulson in stories about his dismis
sal. His declaration that Paulson
"upheld everything that was right
and condemned everything that was
wrong" drew strenuou applause
from the students.
New Principal Acceptable
Gurden Dutt added hi testimony
to that of McRoberts, that Paulson
was not Insubordinate, and stated
that be was the best principal the
school has had during -the four years
Dutt has been in school. Thomas Go
ing stated that Miss Harriet I'm
baugh is acceptable to the students
as a principal, but added his testi
mony that Paulson had only done
what be considered his duty In the
controversy over the coach.
A. Whlsnant, the last speaker, held
up before the students the Idea that
the friendship of one man whom
they have known but a short time is
not to be placed against that of five
old friends such as the members of
the school board have proven them
selves. WORTH WHILE PRIZES
