WOULD TEACH BIBLE IN SCHOOL TO SAVE NATION
Minister Thinks United States is on Way to Dogs and Offers Remedy
TEACHERS MEETING IS ON
Two Hundred Kansas High School Instructors Arrive at University for Two-days' Conference
"After several years of study and observation, I am in favor of teaching religion in the public schools and universities," declared Rev. S. S. Estey, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Topeka. His statement was made to nearly three hundred Kansas school teachers at the twelfth annual conference of schools and academies, which started this morning, and will last until tomorrow. Two hundred teachers are expected.
Dr. Eckey said that since the United States was founded as a Christian nation and as the Christian, influence was rapidly decreasing, the matter of maintaining Christianity in America should be left to the church, adding to a proposal to teach the Bible and religion in all schools and give credit for the work. The conference was opened by Prof. W. H. Johnson, chairman of the assembly. Superintendent of Junction City high school mule students, Superintendent S. D. Diez of Olathe was unable to attend the meeting and his "Report on the Olathe Plan of Correlated Bible Study," which probably would have been a point in favor of the proposed plan, was issued by Principal A. J. Stout of Topeca. Prof. R. A. Schwegler and Prof. E. F. Engel assisted
Exhibits of work in domestic science and agriculture from the Atchison County high school are in the high school visitor's office and also exhibits from the field and Elbardo and will be placed on the wall late today.
Several entertainments are being arranged for the teachers that will be here. Not all of the instructors have registered as yet and many may not register before tomorrow. The department of physical education is preparing a short entertainment to be given at the teachers' banquet on the Saturday afternoon and the Phi Delta Kappa educational fraternity is to give a banquet for all members at 6 oclock tonight in Myers Hall.

The fgt. interscholastic basketball tournament held under the auspices of the University of Kansas was held in May 1908 in connection with the annual high school track meet. Only six teams were entered, the school winning the championship. There were no girls' teams entered.
Eighteen members attended the meeting of the Jurisprudence Club at the Pi Kappa Alpha house last night. Dr John Mez, of Heidelberg University, addressed the club on the subject of "Universal Peace." General discussion, questions, and answers followed.
In 1909 the date of the tournament was advanced to March where it has been every year since. Seventeen teams were entered that year including four girls' squads, Halsteder again captured the boys' title while Beloit took the cup offered to the winning girls' teams.
The International Polity Club will meet this evening at 8 o'clock at the Phi Gai house. Dr. Mex will present his discussion of international peace
In 1910 the entry list took a big jump thirty-two high schools sending teams to compete. Clay County high school was the best of the boys' college team, but the undergraduate took the girls' championship. The next year the attendance dropped to thirty-one teams. Lawrence for the boys' and the Csu ante girls' were title winners. Kim took the boys' date in 142 while Reno County girls' won the girls' cup.
The 1913 tournament found two regulars on the K. U. 1915 Varsity five playing on different teams for the game, and four forward, played with Reno while Kaiser, alternate guard, was at the center position for Halstead. Reno won the championship. Sterling took the way away from Bonner Springs after a hard fight.
Appel and Kaiser Played
Last year's tournament was the most successful ever held from several standpoints. Not only was the paid attendance better but the entry list reached forty-eight teams. Lawrence also won championship for the second time in seven years while the Arkansas City girls' took their first cup.
This Year Best Ever
Seniors will be given an opportunity to order their caps and gowns for commencement during the weeks of April 12 to 17 and April 26 to May 1. Jerry Simpson will be in Fraser Hall check stand each day during that time, to take the graduate's measures—and their money.
Polity Club to Meet
With fifty teams entered this yea,
and with the shortened playing time
for each game the 1915 tournament
will be even more successfull
than last year.
In addition to Lawrence, Halstead and the Chanute girls have been the only teams to capture the state title in the championship runner-up in the Emporia Normal tournament last week, is doped to capture the 1915 title. The Iola five only lost the Emporia championship by 4-2. The latter is not entered at Lawrence.
SENIORS MAY ORDER
CAP AND GOWN SOON
A dollar deposit is required on all orders for caps and gowns.
Kansas track men will get that outdoor competition tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock when an exhibition meet will be staged for the benefit of the visiting high school competitors on McCook Field. Every track race and the two hurdles will be contested in addition to which, Recker and Keeling the brobodingnagian Jayhawk weight men, will stage an exhibition shot putting battle. This latter event is part of a significant for should be the leader in around the 43-foot mark, it would enhance his chances of landing a berth on the team at the Penn relay team.
The freshmen and meligibles are both requested to compete Friday as these men are allowed to enter in the Penn games in case the University sees it to send them. Dan Hazen may make his first appearance before former Kelvin Johnson thinks that he needs to form and would like to get another crack at the Penn Games. He thinks it possible to obliterate the defeat last year, for Kelly, the U. S. C. champion is out of form, having taken on too much weight. The K. C. A. C. has offered to sell David Francisco in exposition game in San Francisco in come back, so the 1914 protagonist has every reason for making an effort to "come back."
Keen competition is assured by the fact that the distance runners are all determined to land a place on the four-mile relay team. There will be few pace lines, and the distance too much is at stake. No less than eight are candidates for places on this relay team and since but four men can go, it is essential that no opportunity to show the other team the way to the tape be overlooked.
No admission to the arena will be charged The track is in fair shape owing to the warm days followed by the winds which have taken the exertion of running. Under formation, leaving it a trifle hard for the long spikes to penetrate.

Solution in Water is Costly
More H$_2$O philosophy. I thus been found that the water heating coils in Lawrence last only 12 months, while in other towns they are good for three and four years. Out in Abilene, where the famous Abilene water comes from, they expect one coil to last a life time.
And, the worst part about the terrible catastrophe is that these colls set the householder back five planks. The water in the basement in the Lawrence city water is that causes the rinsulation of the colls and increases the overhead expense of the home has not been inspected.

TELLS RECORD LECTURE CROWD OF SALUBRITIES
Mr. Bangs Also Includes Salubriette in Humorous Discussion
What is a salubrity?
John Kendrick Bangs considers these three conditions essential to qualify in the Royal and Ancient Order of Salubriities: confidence in the essential goodness of mankind; enthusiasm and boyishness; and a desire to be loved by and be of service to men.
The largest audience that has attended a chapel lecture this year came to hear Mr. Bangs yesterday after he was filled and were standing.
He started out to administer the antidote for the unnecessary muckraker. This purpose furnished the vehicle for an hour and a half of story telling which Mr. Bangs did not overlook.
He told reminiscences from his acquaintance with Richard Harding Davis, Rudyard Kipling, Henry M. Stanley, Robert Grant, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Mark Twain, all of whom possessed the essential qualities of salubriity. He also presented one salubriety, Mrs. Henry M. Stanley, who embodies the salubrical quality of tact.
"And that word "salubriity." Mr. Bangs admits that it hurts him just as much as it does everyone else, theoretically speaking and ignoring for the moment the net proceeds of the issues of that lecture on salubriities.
But the name was thrust upon him. He was out in a jerkwater station in Washington and the manager of the store where he worked. Bangs was to speak on "Celebrities I Have Met," regardless of whether he had met any or not. Mr. Bangs yielded and the printer did the rest by printing a title on the program to "Salubrites."
After his address, Mr. Bangs talked to Miss Esther Clark and Willard Wattles whose work he has watched for some time.

The start of the eighth annual basketball tournament this morning broke all records. It started only ten minutes late. Winfield'd and Morrill staged the first battle, the former winning easily 33 to 10. This opening game was closely contested. The game was the contest. Despite the frantic rooting of the Hill City girls' team Quenemo won 16 to 15 in the last minute of play.
The record for high scores for the morning went to Chapman, the Dickinson County team when they beat Walton 46 to 9. Champlin and Kansas CHC players are scheduled for this afternoon. Osakawa proved an easy game for the K. C., K. five, Coach Babb using several substitutes. The final score was 14 to 10 with the team coming from a mouth of the Kaw on the long end.
Mixup in Schedule
Because of a misunderstanding Garden City and Peru played a whole half before they found out they were playing the wrong teams. Garden City then played Pleasanton with a second scout who shot a rest and took a 21-18 defeat despite a desperate spurt by the Garden City aggregation the last few minutes. Peru also paid heavily for the mistake by losing to Onaga 8 to 23. The failure of Wamego to arrive gave Iola a game by default. Lawn was down in the same way. Bonner Spring lost 5 to 30 to Wakeeyeen. Burlington defeated Sabetha 33 to 12 gaining the right to meet Lawrence tonight.
Girls Play This Afternoon
Because of the greater number of boys' teams entered the girls' teams will not get into action until this afternoon. They will play on both courts during the early part of the afternoon giving the boys a chance to rest. The boys' games will be resumed again about 3:25.
Notes of Tournament
The reduction of the playing time to ten minute halves made a big improvement in the boys' games this morning. Instead of having the confusion of the teams leaving the floor at the end of the first half, we have that time is up and they change goals and the game starts again with only a few seconds delay. A three minute intermission will be given the girls' teams.
Red Brown, Van der Vries, Lefty Sproul, and Bill Weidlein handled the official end of the games this morning. Proo Allen, the Warrenburg sixers, will work this noon and will work this afternoon. The other four will alternate.
Season tickets for the entire tournament are on sale at either Manager Hamilton's office or at the main entrance of the Gym. These tickets admit morning, afternoon, and night during the entire tournament. Tickets for a single admission are 25 cents.
