TEACHERS' CONFERENCE

vice which will be able to render much help to the superintendents in what-ever work of this kind they may wish to do in their own school systems.
"Modern education has as its ideal the natural development of both physical and mental capacity. This requires on the part of the teacher a sympathetic understanding of child-nature and ability to direct the child's learning. The teachers must be developed and he should be given every opportunity to play."
Professor Ross spoke in favor of a combination of cultural and practical education. He expressed the conclusion that a combination of course embodying practical and cultural training was most desirable.
"Education is undergoing a tremendous awakening as shown by the rapid changes which are being introduced all over the country including higher education, international training and a liberalization of the curriculum," said Prof. W. D. Ross, state superintendent of public education at the conference this morning.
"Community music," means music "of the people, for the people, by the people," said Dean Butler, "a getting together of all those who love to make music. 'Community music' is to the working together of all the unruly members of the community for a common end, that of the increase of interest in and love of good music. 'Community music' is to music what the Chamber of Commerce is to business. Just as the business men of the community have buried their jealousies and their business differences in their lives that works for the common good of business, so musicians and musical organizations bury their small differences and forget their petty jealousies and with their hearts set on greater things, effect an organization of all the people involved in activities of the community for the purpose of spreading the gospel of 'more and better music for Kansas.'"
Dean H. L, Butter of the School of Fine Arts addressed the conference this morning on "Community Singing."

THE SUPERVISOR'S WORK

visor,"
the afternoon session of the State Teachers' Convention by C. C. Brown, Yale University.
After discussing these standarDS professor Brown showed from his personal experiences as inspector just how these various standards are derived, and of what use they are to the educational statem.
Professor Brown talked first on the standards for approved high schools, the fourth year of work, and then from the same point of view, took up the standards for credited high schools, which offer the regular four year course.
Professor Brown took up many of the problems that supervisors must meet and very ably told how he had them, and how others might do so.
PRESIDENT BUTCHER TALKS
PRESIDENT BUTCHER TALKS
"We hear a great deal about bread and cheese, but I don't understand Thomas W. Butcher, of the Emporia State Normat, in his address this morning in Fraser Hall. "But when we consider that there are in the world so many people who cannot speak English, that one person out of seventeen cannot read or write, that we have war on two sides of us, then I think it is necessary that we learn to read."
There are objections to the junior college, but these are largely overcomable. It lacks the atmosphere of a college, can in the majority of cases be taught by the university that is furnished by the old grids that come back from time to time and create a love of alma mater. There is also no decided step—a transplanting that is often necessary in the development of a youth. This often means that students must unify community that he is not the brightest boy in the state, and while his whole college course is a series of pains, it saves him greater pain in after life.
President Thomas in discussing the subject, "Courses in the High School Beyond the Twelfth Grade" in his paper, "Problems Raised by these Special Relationship with the High School and Other Educational Institutions" told of the advantages and disadvantages of the junior college as they appeared to him after his study of the matter. The junior degree in which the first two years of high school and other education at a high school seems to be the natural solution to the present problems in education. It would solve the matter of the expense of sending students to college. it would help the boy who cannot attend college to go to college, it would prevent the bunching of freshmen under immature teachers or seniors in large numbers as is often necessary at the entrance conditions and last resort legacies, and it would cause more people to go to college. Furthermore, if a small college is dropped into any area, we find that we have a problem because of that spot, and the enrollment from that place will be practically double that from the adjoining area that is without a school.
Prof. U. G. Mitchell's talk this morning on "The Unfavorable Considerations or Obvious Danger," referred to courses beyond the twelfth grade was summed up in the following story: "My feeling toward this question," said Professor Mitchell, "is about the same as that of a certain small boy toward a new addition to the family. A visitor asked him, Robert. How do you like your new brother? brother?" replied, "Oh, he's all right, I guess; but there are lots of things we need worse."
According to Professor Mitchell there are only three cities in Kansas at the present time with sufficient capacity to qualify for the Six-Six plan.
"The gravest fears connected with the system," said the speaker, "are that such improvements may be made in order to make students and the danger relating to the quality of instruction." He also feared that the community of the junior college would demand vocational training in order to make a good rate on the investment.
In regard to the danger to other colleges and to state schools, Professor Mitchell said that the latter would probably not feel the loss of attendance at all, while the smaller colleges might be compelled to confine themselves to work beyond the second year. The ultimate aim of
the courses beyond the twelfth grade however to increase the attendance of students in all colleges besides giving an additional number the benefit of the two additional11 years of high school."
Prof. H. O. Kruse will give an illustrated lecture on Germany, Sunday night at 8 o'clock at the Unitarian church. This is the second of a series of Sunday evening lectures on the various countries involved in the war. The lectures to give the hearers a better knowledge of the civilization of these nations of which most of us know only too little. Special attention is given to the ideals of the people and the contributions which they have made to the war. They have been made to secure some one particularly fitted to present the matter. Professor Kruse, while not a native German, being born in Russia, is of German parentage and thoroughly appreciates the lecture promises to be of unusual interest and value.
