Extinct Fauna Might Become Confounded If They Could See Their Photographs in Museum
Read the Kansan want-ads daily.
The collection, in Dynec Museum of colored photographic restorations of prehistoric animals, was said by Sidney Prentice, artist at the Carriegie Museum and graduate of the University of Missouri. The museum's collection of its kind in the world.
A dinosaur, a great cave bear, or a saber-toothed tiger never posed before a camera, yet there were no signs of him lying on the third floor of the museum that would probably have the original guessing if they could get Father Time to look up.
The fossil bones of these animals when found are carefully dug up and sent to a museum. After reaching the bottom, the bones were cleaned, the broken parts mended.
Salaries of Teachers Show Slight Increase, School Bureau Finds
Tabulation Reveals Tendencie
Toward Decreased Wages
in Rural Sections
Salaries for elementary teachers, high school teachers, and principals in the larger schools and cities over the past decade. When they were two years ago, according to tabulations based upon research work just completed by the bureau of school services and research of the Education Department, School of Education, is director.
The same tabulations indicate that there is a general tendency for salaries paid in rural schools and schools of third class cities to remain at a lower level than those decreased. A definite decrease is evident in salaries paid rural high school principals and principals in high schools of third class cities. However, an overbalancing increase in salaries paid by community high school principals.
Statistics Taken Bienemily
Every two years the school service burnet a make of study of teachers' salaries and distributes information over the state. It is not assumed these reports will indicate what salaries should be, Doctor OBrien said, but rather that it should be used as a starting point to ensure that we are devoid with reference to problems of salaries; if teachers' salaries in certain localities are below the average, the tabulations showing general salaries may serve to correct such difficulties.
The tabulations worked out in the report for 1926-27 show that the average salary in Kansas for one teacher schools is $80 a month for nine months; in third class cities for elementary teachers, $104 a month; in high school teachers, $153 a month. In first class cities the average for elementary teachers is $150 a month for ten months. An average of $161 a month is paid rural high school teachers; and $176 a month is paid in community high schools. High school teachers in third class cities are $157 a month in school classes $174 in first class; and $191 all of these salaries are on a nine months basis.
Salaries of Principalys Vary
Median salaries for principals and superintendents range from $222 a month (ten month basis) to $247, according to the size of the school and community. Community high school principals receive more than rural high school principals.
Convincing evidence has been found in the research work of the bureau which indicates that low salaries procure experienced teachers, and students who are in schools which employ low-salaried teachers. Salaries are paid in accordance to the training and teaching ability of the teachers, and there is a decided tendency for really good teachers with high salaries which offer more attractive pay.

and missing parts replaced by plaster of paris. The skeletal parts are then assembled. The completed skeleton is drawn to scale, and the outline of the bone is then transferred to the nearest living relative of the fossil as an aid in obtaining the correct proportions. From this outline a water color drawing is made. A lifelike model of the animal is placed on a natural background is drawn in to make a more attractive picture.
The pictures in Dyche Museum are photographs of these water-colors. Most of the original drawings are in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The photographs are arranged in family groups. The coloring was done by Charles Martin of the department of entomology.

While no definite plans have been made concerning the 1927 Engineer's Expansion, the dates for the occasion are tentatively set for April 22 and October 5, according to the Kannan Rakes, according to F. M. Dawson, professor of hydraulics.
The exposition is an annual event in the School of Engineering. It has been decided to make the exhibits and demonstrations much more elaborate than those presented last year, and to use models of the machines which suffered as a result of rain at the time of the 1926 exposition. The event this year will be patterned more after the one of two years ago, Professor Dawson said. Each department in the School of Engineering will present an exhibit on a particular aspect of that phase of engineering. Working models of machinery will be shown, materials used in manufacturing processes, miniatures of completed engineering works, and demonstrations of strength of materials will be included.

In the past, beauty contests have been held, but their success and general satisfaction have been limited because of the sparsity of ravishing pulchrititudinous co-eds. The entire student body will be asked to vote on the candidate and the winner, as well as the highest number of votes will be sent to Hollywood, where Madane Elmer Glyn will select those girls having "IT."

"Elmer Gantry represents Sinclair Lewis, the artist, at his best!" asserts L. M, Birkhead, pastor of the All Souls Unitarian church of Kansas City, in the Kansas City Times today in answer to the review by William Allen White which appeared yesterday.
The Reverend Mr. Birkhead was Lewis' technical adviser and lived with him several months while the story was being written.
"The book is all bunk," commented Dr. John Roach Stratton of New York City, while Dr. John Haynes Holmes one of his contemporaries, claims it to be his best book though it is "absurd" as a "breacher novel."
Harry Hansen, New York World critic, thinks that it is a revelation of the reporting ability of Sinclair Lewis. "It reads more like a feature story, hot off the griddie for a seasonal newspaper than a novel," he writes.
"I fear Mr. White's acquaintance among ministers is limited," said the Reverend Mr. Birkhead. "Moreover, I suspect, what when he is present, the minister will go forward." Proachures can get away with mordant and remain in the pulpit."
The controversy is on Ministers, critics and ordinary readers will all rise to argue on whether or not Sinclair Lewis made faces at God and whether or not Sinclair Lewis, the artist, is dead.
