For the first year the League's activities were confined to debates among the high schools affiliated with the University. The following year contests in declamation were added and membership in 1}~E-League was :hrown O!Jel) to all the schon!:;: of the State below college rank. Subsequently there were also added contests in spell­ing, essay writing, athletics, and music memory. In 1911 a total of 28 schools joined the League; 128 in 1912; 248 in 1913; 503 in 1914; 810 in 1915; 1206 in 1916; 2268 in 1917; 2275 i11 1918; 2432 in 1919; 3345 in 1920; 4095 in 1921; 3627 in 1922; and 3696 in 1923. This League is the most highly organized and has the largest mem­bership of any similar school organization in the United States. Its purpose is to organize and direct, through the medium of properly supervised and controlled contests, desirable school activities, and thereby assist in preparing pupils for citizenship. The organization should have the active cooperation of every school teacher in Texas, and every school in Texas, no matter how small, should become an active member. Special attention is called to the following matters: 1. First of all, aim to secure a good live county organization and have every school in the county, no matter how small, join the League. "One hundred per cent county membership" should be the slogan. As the membership of the League increases, emphasis should more and more be placed on county meets, since it is here that' the schools as a whole receive the most benefits from the League's activities. Interest yourself in securing the participation of all the rural schools. Look on page 84 and see if your county is on the honor roll of 100 per cent county membership. By all means collect the membership fees during the institute. 2. Note that the full directorate of the various districts is not published, as it is thought better to issue this information in a sepa­rate leaflet after the school year begins, and when it is possible to know with more certainty the locations of superintendents, principals and teachers. 3. The question for debate is, "Resolved, that the United States should join the League of Nations." The bulletin on the debate ques­tion will be furnished to member-schools only on request. Schools wishing to enter the debating' contests are entitled to two free copies of this bulletin; additional copies, 15 cents each (stamps not accept-· able). Debating squads composed of University students can usually be sent to debate the League question, when desired, provided a given University of Texas BuUetin school or community can arrange to defray the traveling expenses of the two speakers belonging to a squad. In order that the benefits of this contest may be more generally diffused, debating coaches are urged to form debating squads and not depend entirely upon ai single team. Arrange for as many practice debates as possible. Begin early in the fall term. 4. Please note that the Music Memory Contest is to be conducted en the same general plan that the Spelling Contest is conducted. No representatives are sent to the State Meet. District contests in Music Memory are optional with the district committee. 5. Changes have been made in the following rules, or explanatory notes added, which should l)e carefully noted: Article VIII (introduction): Article VIII, Sections 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 12, 14, 15; Article IX, Sections 2, 3 (Section 4 is new), 5; Article XIII; Article XV, Section 5. 6. In the rules for Track Meets, the rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Conference govern instead of the A. A. U. Rules, as here· tofore. Changes occur also in the following rules for conducting Track Meets: 3, 14. Rule 15 has been abolished. 7. The schedule of points for awarding all-round county champion­ships has been slightly changed. The rules for conducting both bas­ketball and football state championships have been thoroughly re­vised, and the new rules should be carefully studied by coaches intending to participate.

ARTICLE VI Contests SECTION 1. This League shall hold, annually, the following con­tests: The Interscholastic League Division (a) City Contests as provided in Section 5 of this article. (b) County Contests in: Debate, girls and boys separate divi­sions; tennis doubles and singles for boys and girls ; sub-junior. junior, and senior spelling; junior and senior declamation for boys and girls, separate high school and rural school divisions; essay writing (four divisions) ; boys' basketball; track and field events for boys Class A and Class B; junior boys' athletic events; volleyball for girls; music memory as prescribed, pp. 55-60, provided the district committee so elects. (c) District and State Contests shall be uniform with those held in the county, with the exception of certain optional contests herein suggested; and with the exception of spelling and music memory contests, junior boys athletic events, volleyball for girls, and basket­ball for which see "State Tournament." SEC. 2. Time of Holding the Contests.-Final county contests shall be held during March or the first week in April, district contests not later than two weeks prior to the State Meet, and the final State con­test on the first Friday and Saturday in May. SEC. 3. Sub-county Contests.-In counties where.there are a large number of schools belonging to the League, it is a good plan to pro­vide, for sub-county contests. However, unless the county member­ship consists of twenty-five schools ori more, such sub-county contests should be for the purpose of practice, arousing local interest, and furnishing a means of developing community spirit, and not for the purpose of eliminating contestants for the county finals, except per­haps in basketball. Whenever twenty-five or more schools in the county belong to the League, the County Executive Committee may divide the county into not more than four districts and provide a time and place for sub-county contests, eliminating all but the three highest ranking schools in debate and declamation; and the highest ranking schools in tennis and in basketball. (The purpose of this section is to provide for optional elimination contests in such counties where the number of contestants in a given event will probably be so large as to render it difficult to schedule the contests at the County Meet) SEC. 4 . • County Contests.-The County Executive Committee shall fix the time (see Section 2 above) and place of the county contests and announce the same to all the schools in the county at least one month before the time specified for holding the same. (It: is well for the county teachers' institute to elect the County Committee several days before the institute adjourns so that the committee may organize and decide upon plans for the county contests for announcement dur­ing the session of the institute.) SEC. 5. City Contests.-Cities having a white scholastic population of 4000 or more.• according to the last published enumeration of scho­lastic population by the State Department of Education, are not elig­ible to the county contests. It may send contestants direct to the District Meet in the following events: debate, declamation, essay The Interscholastic League Division writing, tennis, track and music memory (in case the District Direc­torate elects to have a contest in music memory-see Article IX, Section 2. SEC. 6. District Contests.-It shall be the duty of the District Executive Committee to announce the time and place of the district cvntests at least one month before the time set for holding the same and to communicate with and assist county officers of the League in regard to matters pertaining to the county and district contests. Only the winners in the different events in the county contests shall b~ eligible to participate in the district contests in debate, declamation, tennis, essay writing, athletics, and music memory, except the win­ners in these events in each city having 4000 white scholastics may enter the district contests under the conditions specitied in the pre­ceding section. ARTICLE VII Who May Enter the Different Contests SECTION 1. The Junior Division.-The Junior division is open only to boys and girls under 14 and over 10 years of age the first day of September preceding. (See Section 7 of this article.) Furthermore, the Junior division in declamation is not open to any pupils who have been regularly promoted to the ninth grade, nor to any pupils in a high school or junior high school, where there are one or more com­ plete ward or elementary schools under a separate principal and in a separate building from the high school. Pupils under fourteen years of age who are ineligible, under this rule, for the Junior divi­ sion in declamation, may enter the Senior division, SEC. 2.

The Rural School Division.-Separate declamation and essay-writing contests are open only to rural schools. There shall bP separate declamation contests for boys and for girls, junior and senior, in this division, but only one division in essay writing. SEC. 5. State Winners Barred.-The winner of the State cham­ pionship (that is, first place) in debate, or declamation, shall not be eligible to that event again. SEC. 6. The same contestant shall not be eligible to represent his school in more than one of the public speaking contests in the same year. [Note.-There is no other absolute rule against double representa­ tion, but since elimination contests in debate, declamation, tennis, and track are held concurrently at the State Meet, it is inadvisable for ~ contestant to attempt to enter more than one of these contests.] University of Texas Bulletin SEC. 7. Age Limit.-The age limits as prescribed in this article and elsewhere in this constitution shall be determined by the age of a pupil on the first day of the preceding September. (If a student had reached his or her twenty-first birthday on or before the first of the preceding September, such student is ineligible for any contest. A boy or girl who has reached his or her fourteenth birthday by that date is ineligible for the junior contests, excepting the case men­tioned in Section 1 with regard to the declamation contests.) ARTICLE VIII Eligibility Rules Member schools agree to observe these rules in all inter-school con­tests, whethelj with another member of the League or not.

(Note, however, transfer rule, Section 14, of this article.) SEC. 3.

Contestants from cities designated as counties in Article VI are barred from county contests, but may enter the district ccntest direct, subject to the provisions of Article VI, Section 5. -:;41 ... en l .. 41 E ·; u 41 0 University of Texas Bulletin SEC. 2. In the district contest, the following from each county or city shall be eligible to compete: The winners of first place in debate, boys and girls tennis singles and doubles, the first ranking essays in all four divisions of essay writing, the first place winners b Junior and Senior declamation for girls and also for boys, in rural school declamation, boys and girls, Junior and Senior, and winners of first and second places in any track or field event. [Note.-The district executive committee may arrange for addi­tional contests-see Article VI, Section 1-but unless there is a gen­eral demand, it is better to confine the district meeting to those contests wherefrom the winners go on to the State Meet.] SEC. 3. In the final State contest, the following shall be eligible to compete: The winners in the district contests in debate, tennis doubles and singles for boys and girls, Junior, Senior, high school, and rural school declamation for girls and boys, the first ranking essay in the essay contest, and winners of first or second places in any track or field event.

The points made by any Rural Sehool competing in the Class B Division ir; athletics (in which divisicn in athletics all rural scho:ils belong) are counted towards aJl-around championship:for rural schools in the following manner: The rural school team scoring the highest number of points in the track and field meet receives twenty points towards all-around Rural School Championship; the rural school scoring sec­ or.d highest number of points receives ten points. Note, also, that in computing points towards aJl-around champion­ ship, points as above scheduled are. warded in each division. For il­ lustration: The first place winner in Essay Writing is listed above as receiving fifteen points. This means that the winner of first place in each division in Essay Writing is awarded fifteen points, and so on with regard to each event listed, and each place, as per schedule. In no event shall second place be counted if it is last place. SEC. 3. No school shall be eligible to the all-round championship that does not score in at least three different contests and in both athletic and literary events. ARTICLE XII Expenses and Rebates SECTION 1. In the county and district contests, the prizes offered and the traveling expenses of contestants and of judges shall be pro­vided for as the respective directors may determine. Admission charges to local, county, and district conteEts may be made when deemed advisable. SEC. 2. At the final contests at the University the visiting con­testants shall bear their own expenses in the first instance. The State Executive Committee, however, shall devote the amount received in membership fees, after defraying necessary expenses not covered by University appropriations, to the payment of rebates of railroad fares to Austin and return at the reduced rates offered each year. Such rebates shall be based on railroad fares only, and shall not includ1 sleeper, meals, or other expenses. The rebates shall be payable to the principal of each school which is represented by actual participa­tion in the state contests in either debate, declamation, or athletics, and including one teacher from each participating school except as provided in Article IX, Section 5 (3). Not more than five track contestants from any one school shall be entitled to rebate of rail­road fares. The State Executive Committee may in its discretion limit, by due notice, the number of delegates from distant points that shall be entitled to such rebates. The Interscholastic League Division In order to equalize the burden of traveling expenses for the more distant schools, and conditioned upon available funds as estimated below, in case the fare and a half to Austin is not over $10, no rebate will be paid; if the fare and a half is more than $10 but not more than $20, delegates shall receive,say, 4-0 per cent rebate; if more than $20, 60. per cent rebate. The foregoing are merely the propor­tional percentages. It is hoped that the receipts of membership fee£ will permit an increase in the percentages named in each case. In 1923, percentages were fifty and seventy, respectively. ARTICLE XIII Disputes All disputes among the members of the League shall be settled by the appropriate executive committee. A county or district executive committee may, if desired, submit a case in dispute to the State Executive Committee for adjudication. Others who feel that they have a just cause for complaint against a county or district ex­ecutive committee may appeal the case, excepting the selection and decisions of officers or judges of contests, to the State Executive Committee for final decision; in which instance a written statement of facts shall be presented both by the appellant and by the county or district executive committee; provided, that all protests, except in regard to eligibility, must be made in writing within twenty-four hours after the contest; and protests involving eligibility of a con­testant must be presented immediately upon the discovery of the facts upon which the protest is based. Protests must be presented by either superintendent or principal. ARTICLE XIV Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the League shall be held on Saturday · at nine o'clock a. m. during the annual State .Meet. At the annual meeting, matters pertaining to the League shall be discussed and recommendations made to the State Executive Committee regarding any changes in the rules for the next ye;u's contest. Each school belonging to the League shall be entitled toi one vote at this meeting. A school having no representative present may vote by duly author­ized proxy. ARTICLE XV Amendments All amendments to the constitution and rules of the League shall be made by the State Executive Committee, provided, that all ma­terial changes in the eligibility and other rules which do not involve University of Texas Bulletin a question of University policy shall first be submitted to the memebrs of the League at the annual meeting for an advisory vote; or in a case considered an emergency, the State Executive Committee may submit a proposed change for a referendum vote to the member­schools. RULES IN PUBLIC SPEAKING FOREWORD Good argument is a sharp process of investigation, leading by mu­tual criticism to some nearer ascertainment of truth.-J. L. Garvin. Please bear in mind that the primary purpose of these contests is, as the constitution states, "to foster in the schools of Texas the study and practice of public speaking as an aid in the preparatio~ for citizenship." The League exists not for a few schools that may have exception­ally fine speakers, but rather to stimulate all the schools to develop in their pupils a talent for clear-cut, sincere and effective speaking be­fore an audience. With the large membership which the League has now attained, the county contests must be more and more emphasized, since it is obvious that very few of the speakers who participate in the county contests can possibly go to the district and state contests. The principal who waits to enter his school for a contest until he can turn out a winning debating team will probably never develop a winning team. Moreover, this shows a wrong attitude towards the contests and encourages an unwholesome school spirit. Remember that the contests are only a means to an end, and hence the mere fact of winning should not be taken too seriously. Particularly in the public speaking contests, wherein no absolute standards of judging are possible, teachers and students should guard against questioning the decisions of the judges. See that the rules of the contests are observed, and then leave the result absolutely to the judges. Squabbling over decisions is unsportsmanlike; and this practice has been altogether too common among even the teachers. It is fine training for both teachers and pup~ls to learn how to lose u well as how to win. RULES IN DEBATE i=="' """""s~;:::"o~b:~'i:;,,T:,::...,,.,,.,, ,~ 1. Divisions.-There shall be two debates to which all Wins 1923 State Mee t - schools are eligible, a debate U11111111 1111 111r1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111 111111111u11111r1111f for boys and one for girls; so that boys debate with boys, and girls with girls. 2. Eligibility.-Each school belonging to the League may be represented by a team of two boys and also by a team of two girls. The debaters shall be subject to the elig­ ibility rules contained in Article VIII of the constitu­ tion of this League.

Question for Debate.-The question for debate for the year 1923­1924, is, Resolved, That the United States should join the League of Nations. Unless by consent of both teams concerned, the question in all pre­liminary debates shall be the one assigned for the final contest and all debaters shall be prepared to speak on either side of this question. (For date limits of county and district contests, see Article VI, Sec­tion 2.) 3. Choice of Sides.-In all contests sides shall be determined either by mutual consent or by lot. Whenever a series of preliminary contests are held, the winning teams in a given contest shall imme­diately choose sides for the next contest. 4. Coaching for Debate.-Aside from the bulletins and loan ma­terial furnished by the University, and other reading matter, the assistance furnished contestants in preparing debates shall not ex­ceed the following: (a) aid in outlining the arguments; (b) citing sources of information; (c) correcting errors in English; and (d) suggestions as to delivery. Whenever a debater quotes at any length the words of another, that fact must be plainly stated. Proof that either member of a debating team has received assistance other than as above specified, or that quoted matter is used at any considerable length without giving due credit therefor, shall disqualify such team for that year. The Interscholastic League Division 5. Coaching During a Debate.-In all contests the debaters shall be separated from the audience and shall receive no coaching while the debate is in progress. By "Coaching" is meant viva voce or other prompting either by the speaker's colleague or by any other person while a debater has the floor. A debater may, however, refer to his notes. 6. Exclusion of Interested Schools.-It shall be considered dis­honorable for the pupils or teachers of one school to visit the debates of another when the two schools are likely to meet on the same ques­tion or to employ any other means of securing in advance the argu­ments of a prospective opposing team. It shall be the duty of the presiding officer to enforce this rule, and in case of its willful viola­tion the facts shall be submitted to the State Executive Committee for such action as it deems proper. (Note.-Admission of auditors to preliminary debates should be granted upon the 0. K. of the teams participating.) 7. No Cheering.-In order to guard against "rooting," no cheer­ing shall be permitted during the debate, and the presiding officer shall see that this rule is strictly enforced. 8. The time and order of speeches shall be as follows: MAIN Affirmative, 10 minutes. Negative, 10 minutes. Affirmative, 10 minutes. Negative, 10 minutes. REBUTTAL Affirmative, 4 minutes. Negative, 5 minutes. Affirmative, 4 minutes. Negative, 5 minutes. Affirmative rejoinder, 3 minutes. Either side may reverse the order of its speakers in rebuttal from that of the main speeches; and either one of the affirmative speakers may take the closing rejoinder. 9. Judges.-The judges for the public speaking contests shall be al; least three or other odd number, selected on the basis of capability and impartiality. The judges for the county and district contests shall be chosen by the appropriate executive committee, subject to the approval of a majority of the schools concerned. For the final contests at the University the judges shall be chosen by the State Executive Committee. The judges shall sit apart during a contest, in order to hear the speakers from different parts of the auditorium. The Interscholastic League Division [Note.-The Director of Public Speaking shall not fail to submit in advance to interested schools the names of proposed judges': and to secure the approval of at least a majority of such schools. Especial care, too, should be used in selecting judges. Thi~ matter should be ·attended to in advance, and not left for a hit-or-miss choice at the time of the contest.] 10. Schools Represented Not to Be Known by the Judges.-So far a5 possible, the judges shall not know the school a debating team represents;·the contestants being designated as being on the "affirma­tive" or "negative" side. 11. Instruction to Judges.-A ~opy of the following instructions shall be given 'tO: each judge: "The judges, who shall sit apart dur­ing the debate, shall judge the contest as a debate, voting without consultation 'Affirmative' or 'Negative' on the merits of the debate, irrespective of their individual opinions as to the merits of the ques~ tion. In deciding wh!ch team has done the more effective debating, the judges shall take into consideration argument and delivery in both main and rebuttal speeches. In cases of doubt (that is, where the two teams are about equally· balanced) argument shall be stressed relatively more than delivery and rebuttal work than the main speeches. At the close of the debate each judge shall indicate his choice by ballot and deliver it to the presiding officer, who shall in­spect the ballots in the presence of the representative of each school and announce the decision." 12. Final Contest;-The winning boys' and g!rls' teams, respec­tively, in each district contest' shall meet at the University on the first Friday in May, when preliminary debates shall be held until two teams in each division shall have been chosen for the final con­tests. In the first preliminaries the State Executive Committee shall, so far as practicable, group the schools represented so that schools of approximately equal size may debate against each other. [Note.-Debating teams of University students can usually be sent to debate the League question, when desired, provided a given school or community arranges to pay the traveling expenses of the two speakers composing each team. Sometimes two or more neigh­boring schools unite in arranging for such an exhibit.ion,] RULES IN DECLAMATION 1. Eligibility.-There shall be eight contests in declamation: a Senior and Junior, high school and rural school contest, for both boys and girls. (For eligibility rules generally, see Article VIII.) No student can represent his school in any one year in more than one of the public speaking contests, and former winners of first honors in a state contest in a given division are barred. A school may enter a contestant only in the division in which such school belongs. 2. Declamations for Junior and Senior Boys and for Senior Girls. -The declamations required in these divisions shall consist of prose selections lying in the !!e11eral field of Americanism or good citizen­ ship. This requirement may be fulfilled by a selection dealing with (1) the fundamental qual­ities or virtues necessary for good citizenship, (2) a, story or exposition of noted events or characters that have contrib­uted to the making of Amer­ica, (3) patriotic selections, (4) discussion of a present­day public question or issue. In general, the subjects to be used are intended to lead the students to study the problems of our American system of gov­ernment and to incite in speak­ers and hearers aspirations to­ward a better citizenship. A declamation must not '.require more than five minutes in deliv­ery. Poetic quotations may be included in a prose selection provided the selection as a whole contains more prose than poetry. Humor may be in­cluded, but purely "funny" Amelie McRee, M.:Allen pieces will not be allowed.

Declamations for Junior Girls.-In the Junior girls division selections from standard poetry shall be delivered of not more than five minutes in length. A genera}! guide as to the nature of the selec­tions desired is any of the poems· contained in the school basic and supplementary readers. The selections chosen must not be in the nature of dramatic readings, must be in good English, and must not be in dialect or require im~ personation. The purpose of this contest is to add to the mental enrichment of the pu­pils by the memorizing of standard poetry and to en­able them to give a sincere, intelligent, and effective oral interpretation of the same to an audience. In case selec­tions of this character are not delivered, the judges shall dis­ regard such speaker :;.n lthe grading and the decision of the judges shall be final.

The purpose is to test the speaker's power in the way of a sincere, intelligent, discriminating, and1 effective oral interpreta­ti$n ~. ~some standard poetical selection. Such selection must con­sist of standard poetry. It must not be in a dial~ct or require im­personation, nor a selection in the nature of a dramatic reading. No speaker shall employ any extrinsic assistance in the interpretation of the poem, such, for example, as the carrying of a flag or other emblem. The judges should note also that one selection may be more interesting and appealing in itself than another, but the test is, which speaker best interprets her particular selection. Among the elements of delivery, a good interpretation and proper discrim­in,Ltion a clear and sympathetic expression of the thought and emo­tion l!Ontained in the poem, naturalness, directness, earnestness and force shall be stressed relatively more than gesticulation or grace. Although appropriate gestures may properly be employed, any attempt to picture all the thoughts and emotions in a poem by gesture should lower the rank of such speaker. In other words, a sin­cere, straight-forward, intelligent, and sympathetic rendition is to be given higher rank than an over­dramatic or showy manner of de­livery." At the close of the contest each judge shall rank the speakers by · the n u m. b e r s 1, 2, 3, etc. A speaker ranked first by a majority of the judges shall be awarded Mildred Grimes (Amelia Rural School) Beaumont, first place.

The ranks of the contestants shall be computedi either by the judges themselves or by a committee appointed for that, purpose. In case of a tie in ranking, honors shall be divided accordingly, but the judges in the county and district contests shall determine by majority vote which speaker shall go on to the district or State Meet. University of Texas Bulletin So far as possible, judges shall not know what school a contestant represents, and the grades of an individual judge shall not be di­vulged.

Eligibility.-Each school in the League may enter a team of two in each of the three divisions: sub-junior, junior and senior in the county contests in spelling, provided such contestants are eligible under the rules set forth in Article VIII of this constitution. The contestants in spelling may be either boys or girls. 2. Classification.-In the county contests there shall be a Junior, a Senior, and a Sub-junior division. 3. Sources.-The words for the spelling contests shall be taken from a list furnished by the League, classified, respectively, as the "Junior List," "Senior List," and "Sub-Junior List." Each school in the League shall be entitled to one free copy of the lists. 4. County Contest.-The county contest shall be conducted in the following manner : (a) The contestant shall come to his appropriate division provided with ordinary theme-tablet paper, and with either lead pencil or pen and ink. (b) The Director of Spelling or person appointed by him shall number slips of paper to correspond to the numbers at the heads of the columns of the Junior list, if it is a Junior contest, and the numbers at the heads of the columns of the Senior list if it is the Senior contest, and the number at the heads of the columns of the Sub-Junior list, if iti is a Sub-Junior contest, fold the slips and place them in a hat or other convenient receptacle. Another person shall then draw a slip from the hat. The person conducting the contest shall then begin pronouncing words to the contestants beginning at the top of the column indicated on the slip. In the case of the Junior and Senior contests, he shall proceed for forty minutes pronouncing the words in their consecutive order at the rate of six words per minute, i.e., a word every ten seconds. If it happens that he is brought before the end of the forty minutes to the last word of the list, he shall turn back to the first word of the list and continue to pronounce the words in their regular order until the forty minutes ii; up. (Attention.-Teachers should remember that this test has a time-element in it, and should drill their pupils with this in view. Naturally, a slow writer should be eliminated in the local contest, no matter how good a speller he may be. No time should be wasted ir. giving definitions or discussions with the contestants concerning the meaning of words. Contestants are supposed to be so familiar with: their list that a mere phrase should be sufficient to indicate the meaning of a word when the meaning determines the spelling. The pronouncer should say the word "plural" after every plural noun which he pronounces and "past" after each verb in the past tense. Pupils whose writing is not legible should be eliminated in the local contest.) University of Texas Bulletin (c) At the end of forty minutes, five minutes rest is given during which time contestants may correct their papers. If it is a Senior contest the pronouncer shall draw from slips numbered to correspond to the columns of the junior list, and then pronounce to the seniors from the junior list at the top of the column drawn for twenty min­utes at the same rate. If it is a junior contest, the sub-junior list shall be used in the same way to fill out the hour. (d) The pronouncer shall pronounce words from the sub-junior list starting as previously prescribed in the case of Junior and Senior contests to sub-juniors for thirty minutes, at the rate of six words per minute. (e) Three judges of the contest may, at the option of the Director, be appointed to see that the contest is conducted fairly. Contestants should be separated from each other as far as space in the room permits, and any attempt on the part of a contestant to copy from another should be noted by the judges or pronouncer, who shall re· port to the Director, who may disqualify the contestant. (f) The contestant shall write his or her name in the upper right hand corner of the first page of the manuscript, his school, county, and his postoffice address. (g) The papers shall be gathered up immediately after the close of the contest by the pronouncer and be delivered to the Director of Spelling, or person acting for him. He shall appoint three competent judges to grade the spelling papers, none of whom shall be connected with any of the schools entered in the contest. INSTRUCTION TO JUDGES 1. The correct spelling of a word consists in writing legibly the letters which compose it in their proper order. 2. The first authority is the spelling list, which follows in nearly every case the first spelling given in the last edition of Webster's International Dictionary. 3. In case any word is misspelled in any edition of the spelling list, that word is not to be considered in grading the spelling papers. 4. An undotted "i" or an uncrossed "t" is considered a miss, and any malformed letter which is illegible, if considered out of its con­text, is also considered a miss. [Note.-To determine whether or not a given letter is illegible, place a white piece of paper on either side of it thus separating it from its context and then see whether or not the character may be identified.] 5. The misuse of an apostrophe or hyphen is considered a miss, and a mistake in capitalization is also considered a miss. 6. Words are pronounced in regular order in the spelling list and any word omitted is a miss. In cases where all papers omit the s1!me word, it is considered evidence that the pronouncer failed to give this word, so it is not considered a miss .. The Interschol,astic League Division 7. See that each paper in the Junior and Senior contests has at least 360, words. If there are more than 360 words, do not consider the words from 361 on. See that each sub-junior paper contains at least 180 words. If there are more than 180 words in the sub-junior papers words from 181 on are not to be considered. One Hundred Per Cent Papers.-The Director of Spelling should forward all 100 per cent papers, that is, papers graded perfect by local committee, to the state office of the League. Here they will be regraded, and certificates awarded for perfect papers. Caution: Send none except 100 per cent papers. Points Toward Championship.-The school whose spelling team makes the highest grade shall be awarded ten points; and the school whose spelling team wins second place shall be awarded five points tow.ard county championship; and team ranking third is awarded three points. In case of ties, points are evenly divided among or be­tween tying teams. The same distribution of points applies in each division. (See schedule of points p. 27.) The scale of prices is as follows: Five cents per copy; fifty cents per dozen; three dollars per hundred. PRIZES IN SPELLING The John C. Winston Company of Dallas will give to each spelling contestant in' the county meets who is scored by the local graders one hundred per cent a copy of Winston Simplified Dictionary. The same company will give to each spelling contestant who is scored one hundred per cent at the State Contest an edition of this dictionary bound in genuine flexible morocco, full patent thumb index, with the name of the contestant stamped thereon in gold.

This contest is no longer an experiment; its wonderful educational value has been proved in hundreds of school systems scattered over the entire country in the last few years. In order to participate successfully in this contest, a school or school system need not have a regular music supervisor. Any intel­ligent, energetic teacher may, with the helps which will be made available, successfully train students for this contest, provided the work is seasonably undertaken. To get the full educational value of the contest, all the students in the eligible grades should be given the training to begin with. In the first elimination, the number may be reduced by half; in the next elimination, the best fifty per cent of the remainder should be selected to continue the training, and so on until the school has selected, shortly prior to the county contest, its. Music Memory Team for participation in that contest. Remember in training your contestants for this event that ac~ curacy and plain writing are next in importance to the proper iden­tification of selections and composers. The same tests which de­.termine plain writing in the League Spelling Contest should apply also in this contest. RULES IN MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST 1. Eligibility.-In addition to the general eligibility rules set forth in Article VIII of this Constitution and Rules, the following apply to this particular event: . (a) In Independent Districts, and in "high schools" wherever located (see Definition 3, page 8), only those students in grades up to and including the seventh, are eligible. (b) In Rural Schools, students from any grade are eligible pro­vided they can satisfy the other eligibility requirements. 2. Divisions.-There is but one division in this contest, all stu­ dents eligible under Rule 1 entering and competing with each other in the same division. 3. Representation -A team shall be composed of a minimum of two members from a given school. If, however, a school has en­rolled in the grades eligible for music memory (i.e., one to seven, 56 University of Texas Bulleti'n inclusive) more than 100 pupils, one member must be added to the minimum of two per team for every fifty enrolled in excess of 100. The following example is given as an illustration of the operation of this rule: The school in question has an enrollment at the time the music memory team is selected for the county contest of 525 in the grades eligible to compete. Building upon the minimum team of two, there are to be added one member for each fifty enrolled above 100, that i~. there are to be added nine members, making the team represent­ing this school consist of eleven members. This may appear to favor larger schools by allowing them larger representation, but, contrariwise, it prevents the smaller schools from being handicapped, as anyone may see by considering the fact that it is the team-grade that wins. 4. Selections.-The selections to be used as a basis for this con­test during the ensuing season are printed below. 5. Conducting the Contest.-The Director of Music in the county shall arrange for a suitable auditorium, and shall write in advance to the State Office of the League for the necessary number of score­cards, which will be furnished free of charge. The contestants shall be assembled at the appointed hour in the auditorium and seated sparsely over the room1 and in no case mixed in with the spectators. Each contestant shall come provided with two sharpened lead pencils or fountain pen. Twenty of the selections shall then be played, either by competent performers or by talking machine or other mechanical means of music-reproduction. It is not necessary that each selection be played in full, but enough of it must be played to clearly distin­guish it from any portion of any of the other selections in the list. After each selection is played, the contestant shall endeavor to write down in the respective spaces provided therefor on the score­card, (1) the name of the selection; (2) the name of the author. Immediately after the twentieth selection has been rendered, the Director shall gather all of the cards and apportion them out to competent persons, who shall immediately grade the same. (Direc· tions for contestants to follow in the use of the score-card will be printed on the card, and it shall be the duty of the Director to call the attention of all the contestants when they are assembled to the printed directions.) 6. Grading thei Papers.-In grading the papers. the persons g-rad­ ingo shall use the following schedule of points: Recognition of selection __ ___ __ _____ ___ ___ _____ __ _____ 3 Correct Correct composer ---­-­--­------­--­----­----------­spelling _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ __ _ __ __ _ ____ _____ _ 1 1 Total-------~-----------------------------------5 7. The Winning Tenm.-The team grade shall be determined by adding together the scores made by all members and dividing this The Interscholastic League Di,vision sum by the number of individuals composing the team, For illus­tration· s th t b · ay a mem ers of a team of five scor~ as follows: 88, 92, 80, 100, 98. The sum of these scores is 458. This number divided b~-five is 91 3-5, which is the team-grade. The team making the highest team-grade wins the contest. 8. Perfect Papers.-The Director of Music Memory shall forward a~l paper~ graded perfect to the State Office of the League, Univer­sity Station, Austin, for re-grading and award in case the score of 100 is verified. The Director of Music shall enclose a list of the selections showing the order in which they were played at the contest. A suitable pin will be awarded each contestant who in the county contest, produces a card graded 100 per cent in 'the State Office. [Note.-By vote at the State Meeting of Delegates, May 5, 1923, the State Contest in music memory was discontinued, but any district may hold a district contest, provided the directors of the district so elect.] INTERPRETATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS 1. The term "Correct Spelling" in Rule Five includes capitaliza­tH:.n. For illustration "In the Hall of the Mountain King" contains some words that are capitalized and some tha~ are not. If the word "of," for instance, in this title is capitalized, the mistake will count as a misspelling, and the answer graded off one point. Use the spell­ing found in official list and not that found upon phonograph records. A special committee should check over carefully all papers graded 100 per cent by the judges to see that no errors in grading are made. 2. We shall have for distribution score-cards, and county and dis­trict directors should write us in advance of meets about the number required. Score-cards fo:r:; local contests are furnished in quantities of 100 at one cent each, in quantities of less than 100, 20 cents per dozen. 3. The Director of Music Memory should see to it that an audi­torium is provided for the Music Memory Contest and that either phonograph with proper records are available, or that competent per­formers are present to execute the selections. The Music Memory Director should leave the matter of making the selections from the hst to a committee of the local music club, or lodge this responsibility with some disinterested party. This is especially necessary if the Music Director herself has contestants in the meet. She should not herself know the selections to be rendered until the day of the con­test, that is, she should not know exactly which twenty selections are chosen from the fifty contest selections. The words of the songs should not be sung. If given on phonograph, records should be se­lected in which the melody is carried by an instrument; if a singer University of Texas Bulletin i.s secured to render the songs, he should reproduce the melody with­out pronouncing the words. 4. Punctuation, spelling and capitalization used in the official list published herein shall be taken as final in all disputes which \\rise touching these points.

Teams are urged always to secure outside officials. Beginning a game with a n official constitutes agreement. 12. Protests.-A protest must be made to the State Executive Committee within twenty-four hours after a game is played, except *Thi~ picture was omitt<'d hy mistake from the 1922 edition of the Constitution and H.ule:;. University of Texas Bulletin that a protest based on the alleged ineligibility of a player may be made at any time during the season; provided, it is made imme­diately upon discovery of the facts on which the protest is based. Protests based upon decisions of officials will not be considered. Protests must be made in writing and signed by Superintendent or Principal. The Football Code The football code means to play the game in the spirit of fairness and clean sportsmanship, to observe all rules and not attempt to hold, "beat the ball" or coach from the side lines because it can be done without the knowledge of the referee, or to resort to trickery in equipping or preparing players. It means to accept decisions of officials without protest, to treat your opponents as your guests and to put clean play and real sportsmanship ·above victories. It means the ability to win without boasting and to lose without grudge. "Victory is no great matter. The important thing in sport is the manly striving to excel and the good feeling it fosters between those : who play fair and have no excuse when they lose." STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The League has arranged for the determination of the State cham­pionship in interscholastic basketball under the following condition:;: 1. The district director of athletics. shall be responsible for deter­mining his district championship team and certifying same to the State office not later than February 16, 1924. [Note.-It is suggested that the counties decide their champions first and that then the district director arrange a tournament by bringing all winning teams together at a central place and conduct a series of games which will determine the district championship team. If deemed desirable the district directors of athletics may divide the schools into A and B classes for competition in the county and district. If this method is used the two winning teams shall play to determine the district championship as specified above. Cities, as described in Article VI, Section 5, may enter one team in the district games.] 2. The State office shall then designate adjoining districts which shall play for the bi-district championship, place for the game to be agreed upon between the two teams involved. In case of failure of agreement between the opposing teams, the matter shall be re­ferred to the State Executive Committee, which shall designate a time and place for the game. The State office undertakes to send ref­e1 ees to bi-district games if the schools concerned pay the actual ex­penses of such referee from Austin to the place of the game and return.

COUNTY FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL As plans are outlined for determining State championships in foot­ball and basketball, every team in every county will desire to take part, especially as it can be don~ without conflict with o~her county activities. All that is necessary is for the county champions to con­ tinue with the district and state contests. For the com­plete success of the proposed plans it is hoped every coun­ty championship team will compete until eliminated or until the state championship is won. In the spring of 1924 the League may re-establish the bureau for compiling and publishing baseball results. Schools members of the L e a g u e which r e p o r t promptly results of their games will be considered in compilation of data tending to show comparative strength of teams in various parts of the state as far as this is Mensing ( La Grange) possible.

Official Rules.-All games to be played under the official rules for the particular sport as published by A. G. Spalding & Bros. 3.
