EXTENSION DIVISION SETS
NEW RECORD IN LIBRARIES
Department of General Information Sends Out More Packages Than Ever Before
The department of general information of the Extension Division established a new record for package libraries last month when it sent out 1039. This brought the total for the period from Sept. 1, 1913 to March 31, 1914 up to 4401. This total is nearly five hundred more than the one for the entire year of Sept 1, 1912 to Oct. 31, 1913.
The department has libraries and books on more than four hundred subjects, some of which are so popular that there is always a waiting list for the libraries. Some of these schools in March were: alien law labs, child welfare and child labor, cost of living, democracy, eugenics, government ownership, heredity, immigration, Ireland, Irish home rule, Japan, Mexico, minimum wage, municipal ownership, negro problem, newspapers, national calls and forfeitations, playgrounds, swat the fly, and white slaughter.
The popular list shows how alive the people of Kansas are to the big questions of the day. For instance, the libraries on government ownership and immigration, both of which are very extensive, have not been in use for several days. For a longer period than the time required to remail them.
The libraries go mainly to the schools over the state and to various cities.

This practice will be for all Varsity men and members of the freshman squad.
"I want to emphasize the importance of spring practice." Coach Mosse said today. "All Varsity men and especially the freshmen should be out every afternoon. We haven't had a good spring practice since 1909 and I would like to see a big bunch of men out."
"The practice will consist of kicking, tackling, signal running and if enough men turn out, scrimage will be held.
