"The extension degratern' has made greater progress this year than ever before," said Harold C. Ingram, Director of the University Extension Department.

Reports show an increase of 60 per cent in the number of plays sent out so far this year over last year. Lantern slides distributed last year numbered 660 sets, and 987 sets have already been sent this year.

"High School Journalists Are Not Fully Prepared"
"We cannot afford to let high school boys and girls harbor the mistaken notion that, because they have developed a certain facility in writing for the school paper, they are ready, on leaving school, to enter the profession of journalism," writes Prof. W. G. I. Bleyer, director of journalism at the University of St. Louis, in the last number of the English journal in discussing "Journalistic Writing in High School and College."
"Professional training of the right sort does not stop with the restriction and practice in the more technique of journalistic writing. Such technique might conceivably be taught in a well-equipped high schools, but what secondary schools can not give, partly because the research is the broad knowledge, the deep insight the comprehensive grasp of the ideas that are fundamental for the professional journalist."
According to the Lawrence high school Bulletin, the girls club of the high school will give a concert at the Allen County concert will be the etting of the concert.
Eskridge high school students have our sympathy. They are forced to attend school on Saturday to make up for "fju time."
HAWORTH BUILDS UP GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT
"It is not easy to give up a position which represents as much of one's life as my work here" declares Dr. Ernaus Haworth, whose resignation as head of the department of geology at the end of the present school year.
Dr. Haworth has been in the University since the late seventies when he was a student. He organized the State Geological Survey and has held many positions throughout his times. He has done much professional work for the U. P. railroad in Wyoming and Kansas and for private companies in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and other states. He has conducted much time to经济 geology.
His recent resignation from the University was for financial reasons. He says, "State universities are not included in the Carnegie Fund and a man must retire from teaching in time t; lay up money for his old age or he must go on teaching to the last, even if you are unable to do justice to his work."
Among his books and writings are volumes 1, 2, 3, and 8 of the books on waters of Kansas and parts of volumes 5 and 9, of Reports Kansas State Geological Survey, and annual reports Mineral Statistics of Kansas, bulletins of various surveys and other scientific papers.
"I do not know much excepting Kansas University. I think the University is one of the greatest in the world. I have watched the graduates of the University for more than forty years. I know that our graduates stand well with graduates of the best institutions in the country and that our graduate went out from this department four years ago at a salary of $125. He is now receiving about $12,000 a year. "Another graduate that comes to my mind, now constructs large mining and smelter plants in South America. The superintendent of the largest copper refining company in Utah, also a very successful Kansas graduate, has become the largest constructor of large plants in South America."
He is not only one considered one of America's great scientists but he takes a very great interest in music and art. He is a great lover of pictures and sculptures, and he admires the "great harmonies" of classical music for other moods.
Stafford, Kansas, is evidently the home of future actors and actresses The March number of the Ace said even the faculty is going to put on a play. The profs will present "Her Husband's Wife", the play the K. U. Dramatic Club will offer to the theater public in Lawrence March 22. Each class of the Stafford high school presents a play every spring.
many students for the enthusiasm he creates, for not only his own subjects but for accomplishment in general.Chanute journalism students recently edited a "Bolahevistic" edition of the Tatler. It was printed with red ink on yellow paper.
Dr. Haworth believes that the real success of a teacher is not so much in the facts he forces into unwilling minds than in the student. The student will learn if he gets the enthusiasm. This is his greatest asset.
Dr. Haworth has been praised by
