DODGE CITY WANTS BETTER PLAYGROUNDS
High School Starts Movement to Obtain Better Equipment For Exercise
Bv Herbert Schall.
Dodge City High School, Nov. 1.—A movement has been started here for better playground facilities on all of the schools of the city.
At the meeting of the district federation of women's clubs here two weeks ago, the subject of practical philanthropy was discussed, and playground improvement for the public schools and high school was brought up. Supt. J. H. Clement declared that proper playground apparatus was an absolute necessity in the life of the child, and that something should be done in Dodge City to develop the physical as well as the mental and moral side of the school students.
As a result, a meeting of seventy-five or more of the school patrons was held at the second ward building Friday afternoon, and the playground movement was taken up in earnest, with teachers and it is proposed to place the necessary apparatus on every playground in the city.

THIS FRESHMAN EATS
GRASS FROM K. U. CAMPUS
The University of Kansas has one freshman which we suspect of not being properly enrolled—though it has registered its footprints on the sod along Marvin avenue in many places—non does it wear a freshman cap.
True, this student carries no books,
attends no classes, enters no buildings;
yet he crosses the walks to the grass
and remains studiously engaged until
he has his own classroom; he must needs leave his self-appointed assignment and catch up with her.
This registered, yet unenrolled, traventer of Oread has a purpose, unique in comparison to other students .. in attending the University. He comes to eat grass. He is the dumpy little white colt, following the chubby little brown pony, ridden by the chubly little pastor of past the University every school day.
Like all freshmen, the little colt was at first shy, and a wee bit afraid of the great big University. But now, like all freshmen, he feels that growing confidence in "Willie" and mingles with the upperclassmen, fellow-classmen, and "laws" without the least concern.

COST OF LIVING NEVER TOUCHED K.U. SHOES
Students Just As Well Heele As ever, Says Heckbarth At Starkweather's
That unnecessary waste of shoe leather does not affect the present high cost if student living and that students if today are having their shoes half oiled and heeded just as much as did the students of former years is the belief of August Heckbath, the cobler town at Starkweather's, who has repaired students' shoes in Lawrence for the last twenty years.
"Students of nowdays have their shoes half soled and heeled just as much as the students of ten or twelve years ago did," declared Mr. Heekharb recently. "While the price the cobblers pay for shoe leather has gone up, the price they charge for haloaling and shoes is going down." His's really cheaper for students of today to get their shoes repaired than it was for the students of former years."
Mr. Heckbarth said he had not notice any difference in the size of the shoes the average student of the present wears and those worn by students in the good old days.
MORE WORK AND LESS PLAY FOR KANSAS BOY
Dean C. H. Johnson Advocates Hold
ing School Six Days a Week and
Twelve Months a Year.
School six days a week and twelve months a year is the proper program for the Kansas school boy according to Dean C. H. Johnston of the University of Kansas School of Education.
"And all this increased efficiency can be accomplished at a minimum expenditure. We already have the building and the equipment, the only expense would be the teaching staff, and in many cases this expense would be neutralized by keeping the buildings occupied and protected."
UNIVERSITY GIRLS GOOD SWIMMERS
"I find no reason other than an old tradition, against holding classes on Saturday," says Dean Johnston. "Neither can I see any logic in allowing the entire educational system of the state to lay idle for three months every year."
"A student or an instructor does not need over a month's vacation a year. Their work is no harder than that of a business man, who is fortunate in getting a two weeks' vacation. The American boy or girl is better off in school than on the street. During the long summer vacation the strict supervision of the public school is removed and the children wander on the street, learn to play cards, shake dice, smoke, dodge the officers of the law, frequent unsupervised unencored 'movies', etc.
"Every fall—the entire atmosphere of the University has to be resuscitated, and it takes three weeks of valuable time to get the system working properly and the intellectual attitude revived. The school is not unlike a factory in one respect; it takes a lot of time and energy to get it started again, once the fires have been extinguished out. Not only is the atmosphere lost during a long vacation, but in many places the unoccupied and unprotected school-buildings are broken into and robbed of their equipment.
"In order to get the greatest efficiency out of a machine it must be run as many hours as possible. It is doubtful if a 50 per cent efficiency is attained in any part of our educational system. Only a relatively small number of high school students work during their summer vacation, and many of them would be glad of an opportunity to shorten their course to attend the summer sessions. The function of the school is to serve the community, and the system should be extended as much as possible.
"The summer school particularly for the public school, should be made largely vocational, more manual training work should be offered, athletics encouraged, hygienic information disseminated, but no matter what the work, the supervision of the school would not be slackened, the children would not play in the streets, and those who for any reason find it impossible to attend school at other times would be given the opportunity to acquire an education."
