Dear Dre Allen: In regard to the $1200.00 appropriated from the activity reserve fund for the improvement of play facilities here at the University of Kansas, the W.S.G.A. and the M.S.C. have jointly approved the expenditure of this fund for the improvement by grading, etc., of the intramural play field. We should like to have this done over the summer so that the field will be ready for play next fall. Although our Councils lacked the continuity to carry this out ourselves, we know that you will be able to get a great deal more accomplished for the money expended than we possibly could. May I express to you the appreciation of both the W.S.G.A. and the M.S.C. for the many times you have helped us during the past year. Sincerely yours, ee.

C. Allen % University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas My dear "Phog": I just received the last "Graduate" magazine a couple of days ago and read that you had again added another basket ball championship - to yourlist. May I take this opportunity to congratulate you for the wonderful work you have done in taking so many inexperienced players and developing them into championship material. In reading about the various records made by present day basket ball players, including the much publicized Hank Luisetti, the thought has often oceurred to me that coeshes and sports writers should distinguish between the number of points made by field goals and those made on free throws. This would give a better comparison between players and also would be fair in comparing records of present day players with those who played in the days when one player did practically all the free throwing of his team. Incidentally, I spent Saturday evening reminiscing and going through some old records of the days before I was a "has-been" and I got to wondering about how my record for field goals made in the season 1913-14 compared with the records made since that time by Kansas players. I found an old Spey dine guide which gave the records of players in the old Missouri /eonTerence which showed me making 91 field goals in 17 games, with my partner, Lefty Sproull, making 67 in 17 games and no other player in the: conference scoring more than - 57. Ido not have a record of the 1909-10 season, but my recolleetion is that after I made the team I scored 67 field goals in 10 games. My only point in writing you about this is to satisfy my curiosity. and I know of no one who is in a position to check the records without too mich trouble. If it is not asking too meh, I would like to have my curiosity satisfied. One of these days 1 hope that you can schedule a basket ball game with our team at the University of Arizona. Whenever you do this, I want you to know that you have a standing invitation for yourself and the whole team to eat an “honest-to-goodness" meal at my home.

FELLOW EDUCATORS: I know we are all looking forward to what the year 1938 may hold for educational progress. And I know that we all hope it may hold some far-reaching improvements. That is one-of the values of a New Year -- to look forward to improvement over the old. SECRETARY'S ANNUAL REPORT AVAILABLE: A : . tone Annual Report of the Secretary of the Interior for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1937, is off the press and copies are available upon request (as long as the supply lasts) from the Publications Section, United States Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C. Copies are also for. sale by. the Superintendent. of Documents, United States Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Price, 50 cents. In his letter of transmittal of the Report to the President, among other im- portant statements, the Secretary says: "The increase in secondary school enrollments for the first time brought high- school graduates to more than a million for the fiscal year. "Among the significant trends noted in rural education was the abandonment of a large number of one-teacher schools in favor of larger centralized schools. The num-— Ber of one-teacher schools has been reduced by 10,169 in four years. During the same period the number of rural schools offering high-school work was increased by 8835, or 5.3 percent, but the number of children attending high schools in rural communities was increased 764,513 pupils, or 53.2 percent. The increase in the number of consoli- dated schools was due to the construction program of the Public Works Administration. "The salary scale of rural teachers was less encouraging. During the 4-year period rural teachers' salaries were cut approximately 20 percent while those of city teachers were cut about 10 percent. "The Office of Education reports a steady improvement in conditions in higher edu- cation. Full-time enrollments were up 6.5 percent and total enrollments increased 7.5 percent. Salaries in most colleges and universities were restored to normal levels." LIBRARY SERVICE DIVISION STAFF: The new Library Service Division of the Office of Education now has a staff of four professional members, to develop and promote improved library service in schools and public libraries throughout the country. This staff is under the direction of Ralph McNeal Dunbar, who is the newly-appointed Chief of the Division. The establish- ment of this Division is a stride forward in educational services.
