Bureau of School Service Co-operates With Kansas Cities
Researches Curricular Need of the Various Applicants and Offers Aid to Create Efficient Instruction
A number of Kansas towns are having school surveys made by the Bureau of School Service of the University. Lawrence, Great Bend, Oxton, and Junction City have recently availed themselves of the services of the Buren. Nearly two hundred schools in the city now co-operating with the Bureau now in a study of the instruction in certain high school subjects.
The Bureau makes investigations and offers counsel with reference to the organization and curricular needs of a school system, studies efficiency of instruction in the schools, and assists in formulating a financial plan.
A study of the results of instruction for the junior and senior high schools of Lawrence has just been completed. F. P. OBRICK, director of the Burau.
Decisions Founded on Facts
A survey of the school needs of Great Bend, with particular reference to high school facilities, is now being conducted. A study was studied by the board of education as a guide to their further action he in developing the school plant and in appending to the district for the funds required. The director of the Bureau was assisted in this study by Mr. Smith and Super Smith, who worked together as a survey committee.
The cities of Ottawa and Junction City have asked that the Borden of School Service make an investigation as soon as possible to serve as a basis for taking care of their school problems. The more progressive cities are coming to follow the example of business boards and commissions in the practice of employing people especially trained to advise what is the best course of action for those who need help, and are finding that their decisions need to be founded on definite facts, as there are many ways in which they may be wrong; but usually only one way that is best for the school interests.
Serves Many Schools
Nearly two hundred schools in cities of the second and third classes are participating in a co-operative study of instruction in certain high school subjects. This study is under the direction of Prof. F. W. Service School Service. The composite results of the tests given in the several subjects tested will be sent to each of the schools that participate in the study so that they will be able to compare their results with those of other school of students in fact just a small survey of high school instruction results.
The Bureau is now distributing printed copies of the building and curriculum surveys of the Lawrence school system, which was made by the Bureau of School Service about two years ago. This work was done by the State Pristine. The new high school building is the first step taken by the city of Lawrence in carrying out the recommendations of that survey report. The report calls attention to the fact that in authoritarian education employed a practical and business-like method of handling the problem which confronted them.

Discounting the Count
A count used to be a mar in charge of a count of 509 persons to whom he was a sort of overlord. This is not true today because of altered political conditions. We still have Counts, but the Count business has changed somewhat.
Business, of all kinds, has undergone something of a revolution. It was not so many years ago that a pack of peddlers were the sole distributors and transporters of many of the household articles of the day. Their legs set the limits for most distribution problems in those days.
Modern transportation, progressive sales methods—and advertising—have broken the shackles of time. They make a speedy job of what used to take years. Through advertising many an article has been introduced simultaneously in stores all over the country.
Advertising today is the method used by business to tell you why you should have certain goods and how to identify those goods. The advertisements you will find here are a truthful catalogue of needed merchandise.
Articles of all kinds and for all purposes are presented in a pleasant way through the medium of type and picture. The outstanding requirements of every member of the family are met by offers of good merchandise of proved value.
