Dodge City High School, Oct. 15—The high school football team won its second game Saturday from the Cimarron team, at Cimarron. The score was 13 to 12. Each team scored a touchdown in each half.
Dodge City's first touchdown was scored on a pass across the goal line and the second was the result of a recovered punt. Cimarron's first touchdown was on a straight end run, and the second intercepted a forward pass with a clear field and ran fifty vards for a touchdown.
Spencer Baird, for two years tackle at K. U., referred an excellent game.

Cimarron High School, Oct. 15. The Cimarron high school football team defeated Dodge City high school team at Cimarron Saturday by a score of 12 to 7.
Dodge City punted over the goal line and recovered the ball, and referee Baird of Dodge called it a touchdown for the Dodge team, but at this period in the game promised not to count as a touchdown if the play was illegal; the same is proved illegal by Rule 6, Section 15, Paragraph two, which calls it a touchback counting nothing. The return game will be played at Dodge City, October 26.

The School of Education to Study Public School Problem with Pupils
The School of Education plans to make the University a "community center" for the teachers of the state. Fraser Hall to be busy on Saturday with problems fresh from public school rooms of the state. All the students in this work are to be teachers in actual service.
The University of Cincinnati is trying the scheme of alternating practical work in the shop and school work. In a like manner the School of Education intends to be the school of those teachers whose practical work will be found in teaching at the various schools throughout the state. Though the University of Cincinnati makes its students work weeks in their shops and then two weeks in the school, the School of Education intends to make its students work six days in the laboratory of practical teaching and come to the University on Saturday to study the scientific part of their practical work.

ing. "Judging from my correspondence," remarked Dean C. H. Johnston this morning, "We will have a great representation from other towns reached by car connections."
The fact that Lawrence is a railroad center gives the University a decided advantage. The teachers will use laboratory material of the School of Education and all members of the department will aid in the work. Prof. A. W. Trettin will do large investigations of the course, while Prof. H. W. Josselyn will conduct special investigations in the schools themselves.
The collection of books of the School of Education in Spooner Library is the most complete in the Middle West, and plans are under way to make this of special interest for Saturday students, each of whom is working some pedagogical problem of his own.
"We went far beyond expectations. Letters of appreciation are coming in from school men over the state which express approval of this attitude of the School of Education toward that special school we want to thank specially do we want to thank Haskell Institute and the city for the cooperation they have given us."

URGES JOURNALISM FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
Professor Thorpe Says Newspaper Work is Excellent Training in English
That newspaper writing should be taught in every Kansas high school is the recommendation of the department of journalism in the state University and several schools have already introduced such courses.
"Writing for a newspaper, under proper criticism, is the best way for any student to learn the use of English, to cultivate accuracy of observation, and to develop a healthy interest in world affairs," declares Prof. Merle Thorpe, head of the department of journalism. "High-school students will learn to apply correct principles of writing more quickly in a newspaper class than in a theme-writing class, and at the same time they are dealing with facts of daily life that awaken keener interest in such allied subjects as history and economies.
"The high-school student who has learned to write a column of news for his local paper, or a half-column of correspondence for the University Daily Kansan or a 500-word dispatch for a metropolitan daily has learned not only to see what is going on and to judge quickly and fairly but also to tell the story clearly, simply and accurately—he has mastered the practical use of English."
The department of journalism is assisting high schools in the establishment of newspaper courses by furnishing outlines for such work and advice as to teaching methods. Excellent work is being done in some cases by teachers who have had only slight newspaper experience, if any. When necessary, a teacher from the University department visits the school for consultation with instructors.
