The track meet was like a three ring circus, you couldn't see all of it at once.
If out of that crowd of 1,000 high school students we can capture a freshman class of 600 next year our inter-high school meet will not have been in vain.

Instead of the regular K. U. band, Buch's military band furnished the music at the recent high school meet. We don't know how the students look at it but it don't seem exactly right.
Washburn proposes to have an inter-high school relay race under the auspices of their athletic management on May 20. They think that the relay race would be more satisfactory than the regular track meet.
We brought the teachers to the University not long ago and showed them the wonders of Oread, and Friday the high school students were our guests. From the two meetings we ought certainly to get such advertising as we have never had before.

Chancellor Strong and Prof. Arvin S. Olin addressed the high school teachers on recent tendencies in secondary schools, in Blake hall Friday morning.
In speaking of the growing tendency in favor of the elective course of study in preparatory schools, Dr. Strong pointed out some of the disadvantages in allowing young students too great a liberty in the choice of courses. Every teacher has seen instances of pupils who have as yet formed no definite aim in their educational work, and who have taken advantage of elective courses to select work that is easy "to seek the lines of least resistance."
TENDENCIES IN SECONDARY EDUCATION
Prof. Olin continued the discussion opened by Dr. Strong, and developed the subject more fully. In speaking of the elective system, Prof. Olin presented the other side of the question-that of its merits.

A preliminary training in natural science is of great advantage, because the classes are divided into small sections for recitations, laboratory and clinical work, and the students are expected to pass all the requisite examinations. The successful completion of the first year in any College or University recognized by the Regents of the State of New York as maintaining a satisfactory standard is sufficient to satisfy the requirements for further study. Only those who complete this first year will be mailed on application. Wm. M. Polk, M. D., LL, D. Donn, Cornell University Medical College, 27th and 28th streets and First Avenue, N. Y. C.
