KANSAS STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION University of Kansas Unit October 17, 1936 A meeting of the University of Kansas section of the Kansas State Teachers Association was held at 4:30 in Fraser Chapel with Dean Raymond A. Schweg- ler presiding. Dean Schwegler announced that due to the pressure of other business the meeting would dispense with the reading of the minutes of the preceding session and proceed to the hearing of the guest speakers. Forty- nine members were present. Mr. F. L. Pinet, secretary of the Kansas State Teachers Association, was the first speaker and talked on the work of the Kansas State Teachers Asso- ciation, which was to hold its seventy-fifth annual meeting this year. He divided the work of the Association into the following periods. From 1863 to 1909 the Association strove valiantly and earnestly but was not a large or imposing organization. From 1909 to 1919 the membership grew from 1,000 to 5,000 members but was even then a northeast Kansas association rather than a true Kansas association of teachers. In 1917 an amenament was pro- posed to hold more than one meeting at a given place, and in 1919 several meetings were held. From 1919 to 1929 the membership grew from 5,000 to 18,000. From 1929 up to the present there has been a gradual drop in the membership due to the depression, but the recent years have found a gradual return to the membership maximum of 18,000 which has at the present again been about reestablished. iir, Pinet stated that the five-fold work of the Kansas State Teachers Association nas been to hold meetings; publish the magazine; establish, organize, and conduct the reading circle; to make a program for improvement of instruction; and to aid with the legislative program of the state. He cited examples to show how this work was carried out. Mr. Pinet stated that the Kansas State Teachers Association had distributed information to stabilize public opinion in favor of the schools, and through its work definite information on finance, buildings, school books, and similar work had been given out. He ended his speech by giving the purpose of the Kansas State Teachers Association, namely, to build a better public interest for the schools, to protect the teachers, and to create a stronger support for the schools of the state. Following his speech, the organization asked Mr. Pinet questions Mr. C. O. Wright, assistant secretary of the Kansas State Teachers Asso— ciation, then spoke on the teachers! retirement plan for the state of Kansas. He presented two plans which are up for consideration, namely, the reserve plan or the pay as you go plan. The reserve plan would take five to eight percent of payment while the pay as you go would take only one to two percent. He explained that this whole matter was up for study, discussion, and public interest at the present and that the University membership might be interested in bending its effort toward a general move- ment in teachers! retirement. Following his discussion, the group partici- pated in a lively period of questions and answers. == one == = a: == It was moved by Dr. U. G. Mitchell and seconded by Dr. F. 0. Russell that further meetings of this branch of the Kansas State Teachers Association shall be left to the discretion of the officers. The motion was carried. It was moved by Dr. Mitchell and seconded by Dean P. B. Lawson that the meeting adjourn. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E.

Mr. Garrison moved that the minutes of the October 17 meeting and of the April 3 meeting be mimeographed and sent to the entire University of Kansas membership of the Kansas State Teachers Association. Dr. Paullin seconded the motion, and upon vote the motion was carried, Dean Schwegler then brought up the mat- ter of the election of a delegate to the assembly of the State Teachers Association. Mr. Jantzen nominated Dr. F. 0. Russell. The nomination was seconded by Miss Litchen. Mr. Garrison moved that nominations close, and this motion was seconded by Mr. Jantzen. The motion carried. Dr. Paullin then moved that the secretary cast a unanimous ballot for Dr, Russell as delegate. This motion was seconded by Mr. Jantzen and upon vote was carried. ir. Garrison next moved that Dr. U. G. Mitchell be elected as alternate delegate to the state assembly. Mr. Jantzen seconded the motion. Upon vote Dr. Mitchell was unanimously elected. Mr. Jantzen moved that the meeting adjourn. This motion was seconded by Dr. Russell. The motion was carried, and adjournment followed. Respectfully submitted, Ruth E. Litchen Secretary April 24, 1959.

Latshaw used to be in my department and could tell you lots of things about me, but knowing him as I do I am quite certain he did not re- peat everything that he lnew. I note you have a new chancellor in the making at the University. He seems to be a very fine type of man. I only wish he had had a little more of an athletic record than he appears to have. I imagine you fellows can educate him along these lines. Best regards. Very truly yours, B. H. King Head, Department of Chemistry HHK : BC April 17, 1939.

It was o.k. to make the first paragraph changes. I didn't realize I had left out so much vital first paragraph material. I think I must have been dizzy from cramming so hard lately for my oral examinations. I come up June 14 for a masters degree in history. Got the thesis in and the hours approved. Been working it out the last five summers, I have only one request to make regarding the review for the guide, I want to see the final type proof of 45 the entire article. It has always been my policy to personally check type or page proofs of everything that goes out under my name, Your stenographer seems to have done a swell job copying but I always like to check \ the lynotype man and final proof-reader closely. You'd be surprised how many mistakes they make, My back feels swell, Occasionally at night, if I have worked pretty hard at the offive, it gets a little tired and I find that stretching out somewhere seems to help it. I don t have time for golf but I usually rum our three mile section twice or three times a week the year round, The exercise and bath afterward seem to tone me up. I never take a massage after these jogs. Just never got in the habit. I believe the thing that makes my back tired at night is not the running, but rather my rigid upright position while typing. I caught myself doing it just nowe I hardly ever take advantage of the back rest of my chair. Always sitting straight up or leaning forward, It was nice of you to think of Virginia and the kiddies. I shall tell them about it tonight. Sincerely yours, pn rh, oO scmeecey fa. . we Se , H.rold Keith. July 1, 1939 CG.

Dear Dr.Allen: Stopped at Smiley's driving tee last night and found he had already sent you quotations on balls. The buckets are gallon dinner pails and may be purchased from any hardware store for about 25 or 30¢, The cheap clubs -Doc your friend was wrong about purchasing a second hand driver or brassie in Kansas City. It seems the three driving tees have purchased all odd ones. The only ones I know of that are available immediately are our cheap ones that wholesale at $3.50, These can be furnished in either men's or ladies and both brassies and drivers. - For your 10 tees you will want about 18 buckets to start, at least two bushels of balls and about 10 men's drivers and brassies, and five ladies drivers and brassies - three to one of drivers over brassies - one set of cheap irons 2,455,128. be Don't forget you will want a wire cage for the boy to wear when picking up balls while the driving tee is in use. This is most essential, Remember you will need quite a few tees - some cheaper to buy in lots of 10,000 or more. If there is anything I have forgotten or that I may be of further assistance, be sure to make your wants known on, if possible, it will be a pleasure to assist you in any way possible.
