The members of the Kansas High School Debating League obtain a great deal of their material from the Division. Seventy-seven schools are enrolled this year.

Each champion receives a trophy cup. The debate which decides the state championship is held at the University during the time of the Annual Conference of Kansas High Schools and Academies. The state championship for 1919-1920 was won by Dickinson High School.
The Division not only interests students in furnishing plants for production, but sends out commencement speakers. There were 3254 plays mailed out last year, and 108 commencement engagements filled.

MUSIC TEACHERS IN DEMAND
University is Expected to Sup ply Kansas Public Schools
More and more the people of Kansas are realizing the importance of music in the schools. At present there is an urgent demand for music teachers, and already calls are coming into the School of Fine Arts from the different parts of the state asking for teachers.
The state looks to the University for teachers on account of the complete course offered here in public school music. The student is not allowed to take art in connection with the two-year public school music curriculum, but the student three years instead of two. In the two-year course the student is required to spend two hours each week teaching in the public schools of Lawrence, under Miss Hall, supervisor of music, thus gaining practical experience at the end of his two-year course
these positions, accorring to Harel D'L. Butler, Dean of the School of Fine Arts. Eighteen will be placed in positions for the next school term.
There were fifty calls for music teachers last year, but there were only graduates to fill twenty-one of
People are awakening to a realization of the value of music more than ever before, according to Dean Butler. Not only are the people of Kansas demanding more and better music but the nation as a whole has been engaged to speak in Oklahoma on the subject of "The States Duty Toward Music."
Not only is there an urgent demand for music in the schools but the cities are engaging teachers to conduct community sings and direct the bands. This experiment has been tried by Winfield and has proven very successful. "The purpose of the plan," said Dean Butler, "is to make life in the small town more interesting. The small town dilt and wander to the city. The people of the state are fast realizing the importance of furnishing clean wholesome amusement for the young people."
"Nothing can foster the spirit of good merals better than music," says Mr. Shakespeare, one of the leading singing teachers of the world. When asked by a newspaper reporter what he thought of Americans as musicians Mr. Shakespeare said, "In America I predict the music leadership of the world. Art comes to a people at a time of great nationalism or at a period of affluence, and so I believe that America will lead the world musically when she has passed this stage in her existence, of money madness."
"America is the only country which does not have a minister of Fine Arts," said Mr. Brown, instructor in the School of Fine Arts, "but it is hoped that the time will come when America will recognize the importance of music as much as does the old world."
The regular meeting of the K. U. Biological Research Society was held yesterday afternoon at 4:30 oclock in the library in Snow Hall.
