Dr. Curtis Certain That
TRAIN TEACHERS OF GAMES
Leaders are Developed Through Athletics
Many Schools Including K. U., Offers
courses for Instructing Playground and Physical Directors
"The best way to obtain a high scholarship in ward schools, high schools and even in universities, is through athletics and play," declared Dr. H. S. Curtis, founder of the National Playground Association, in a speech before the Child Welfare Institute today. "The reason that English schools are so successful is because that in most English schools there is preserved Clean recreation makes character as nothing else does and the place for character building is in the public schools."
Dr. Curtis' statement was backed by examples where organized play has been introduced and by the fact that many state normal schools and colleges in Kansas, and in Kansas, have installed courses in methods of teaching physical education. He proved that all progressive institutions are turning toward the subject and recognizing it as one of their most educational questions of the day.
Knocks Cigarettes
"At the present time, one hundred cities have play on the program and make allowances for the upkeep of their playgrounds, the same as they allow for cleaning their streets or any other facilities. The most influential leaders have come to recognize that in grade schools the boy who has the most physical power is the guiding star of other boys in the school. If he is the kind of a chap who smokes cigarettes and who does not care to keep his physical strength, he will eventually be mentored to him and his gals will follow his example.
"For that reason," declared Dr. Curtis, "school's should introduce methodical play and encourage boys who have physical strength to keep it and others to do things that will be unusual with building up their physique.
Mrs. C, B. Walker of Norton, president of the Kansas Federation of clubs talked on the "Industrial Training of Girls." She dealt with subjects that were nearly the same as Dr. Curcuma, added to the physical education of girls.
J. W. Gowans, of Winfield, talked on the industrial training in the grade schools. Dr. James Naismith, F. M. Catlin of Yates Center, and S. D.ice of Olatte, were other speakers this morning.

Has Been Editor of Life, Puck and Harper's—in Chapel at 4:30 o'Clock
John Kendrick Bangs, who speaks in Fraser chapel at 430 o'clock toorrow, brings nearly a column recommendation from "Who's Who in America" with him. Famed men on the university faculty, who has built a museum to get four inmates in the book of immortals can appreciate this.
Mr. Bangs has the pep. He was editor of "Life" several years which position implied an inborn empathy for those who need it, and every standard magazine worth reading and for some that are not worth reading. Once in a while his name appears over an article in a religious newspaper, but he refuses not to say anything about that.
He has edited Harper's Monthly, Literature, Harper's Weekly, and Metropolitan. At present he is contributing to syndicates and magazines at Saturday, Mr. Bangs at a dinner in the Kansas City Kit, and Fork Club.
Mr. Bangs' lecture on the "Sahubri-ties" includes personal recollection of distinguished men of affairs and letters, among them Winston Spencer Ackle, Ada Henry Stanley, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Mark Twain and others.
THEYCOULDN'T KILL ACADEMY
The seven different bills which were introduced in the legislature at the session just finished to do away with the Academy of Science were all lost. This means that the Academy which has done valuable research in the development of many industries in the state will continue to live.
Seven Attempts Fail to Abolish Science Research Organization
The trouble came over the fact that the Academy of Science was given reason to believe at Topeka for its offices and library. This did not meet with approval of certain people so bills were introduced to discontinue the organization. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, Prof. L. D. Hutchison, Prof. T. J. Worrell, go to Topeka Thursday to attend a meeting of the Executive Board of the Academy.
The state of Kansas heretofore has appropriated $1,300 to the support of the DNR.
The Kansas Academy of Science is recognized the world over. It has exchanges in almost every foreign country as well as in this country. Dr. Lovewell, secretary, is a Yale graduate and has been retiring, a professor in physics at Washburn. The appropriation of $1,300 is inclusive of his salary.

HALF A HUNDRED TEAMS ENTER BIG TOURNAMENT
Oskaloosa Sends in Two Basket Ball Fives to Boost Entry List
MEET TO END SATURDAY NOON
Games Begin Friday Morning at 10 o'Clock and Last Contest Will End Noon of Next Day
The last minute entry of a girls' and boys' team from Oskaloosa high school brings the list of the Kansas high schools which will compete in the eighth annual basketball tournament Friday and Saturday in Robinson Gymnasium. Fifty-five high schools were entered yet another day, but the windrawal of Moundridge last night brought the number back to forty-eight.
A schedule of the tournament issued this morning shows that barring accidents the whole tournament with the exception of the semi-finals and the playoff, a night leaving only six games to be played Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon the K. U. Varsity basketball five which won the 1915 championship of the Missouri Valley visiting athletics.
The first boys' games will start promptly at 10 o'clock Friday morning when Winfield and Morrill and Quenemo and Hill City get together. The two contests will be played at 1:40 Friday afternoon with Chanute playing Horton and Bonner Springs meeting Hill City. A general meeting of the representatives of the girls will be held at 9 o'clock Gymnasium trophy at 9 o'clock Friday morning.
Lessen Strain on Girls
One big advantage of the starting of the girl's games Friday afternoon will be that it will keep them in Lawrence only one night. This together with the reduction of the playing time to ten-minute halves is expected to remove many of the objections made in the past about girls participating in the tournament because of the stringency of the game, which ten-minute halves with no intermission while the girls will have three minutes rest between each half. The shortening of the time of each game ten minutes will keep this tournament from being a long drawn out tiresome affair.
For the first time in recent years the Athletic Association will not provide meals for the high school playoff teams, but instead provided with a list of eating places and he can take his team to eat wherever he chooses. The expense of meals in the past has been no small increase, towards conducting the tournament.
Furnish Wireless Service
A special feature of this tournament will be the wireless service furnished by the University station to all of the Kansas high schools having wireless stations. The service will give full data coverage of the zones with it will be in full operation at 10 p.m. both Friday and Saturday. The 700-meter wave length with the tone of 600 sparks per second will be used to send the reports.
TOURNAMENT ENTRIES
Boys' teams: Atchison, Attica, Arkansas City, Baldwin, Burlington, Bonner Springs, Chapman, Dodge City, Eudora, Chapman, Dodge City, Kansas City, Kasa, Lawrence, Murrill, Marysville, Moundridge, Macksville, Newton, Onaga, Peru, Pleasanton, Quenemo, Reno county, Rosedale, Sabceth, Syvan Grove, Wakekeeny, Wamego, Yates Center and Osakaosa.

The Sachems will meet this evening at 8 o'clock at the Sigma Nu house.
