ARE THROUGH HEAVY WORK
TRACK MEN WILL REST FOR A WEEK.
Several Men Are Sick—Will Be Ready for Tigers-A Special Train.
All of the hard work for the track team is over now, and as Hagerman puts it, "It is up to the men." He has done everything that he can do for them, and winning lies with them. From now until next Friday there will be light practicing and short dashes for speed. The coach is now pointing the men for the Tigers.
With the training table the men have an excellent chance to get into perfect condition. Manager Lansdon has provided the team with plenty of equipment. There is a great deal of worry in the coach's mind over the condition of the men. V. Wood has been sick in bed with the grippe all week, and yesterday had to go home. Haddock also has a severe touch of the grippe, and Reynolds, the high jumper, is off color. Perrill has a bad cold but it is hoped that nothing more serious will develop. Fairchilds is in very poor shape and does not seem to be able to get his old strength that he had before his sickness.
Hagerman is holding short practices in Fraser Hall every evening for the men in the dashes and the hurdles.
The Santa Fe will run a special train down and back for the meet next Friday night.

WELL ATTENDED
THREE HUNDRED AT HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE.
Teachers from all over State Here
—Luncheon Served to the
Visitors at Noon.
The sixth annual conference of the teachers of the accredited high schools and academies began yesterday morning after chapel as arranged by the program. The total attendance has amounted to about 300, and it is of especial importance since it is a representative gathering. There are teachers from all over the state, and the old familiar faces of former K.U. students are seen in great numbers.
The main feature of the general conference has been the emphasis placed on manual training work in relation to a liberal education. Also what credit should be given for manual and commercial subjects taken in the high school has been discussed. At present the college does not accept for entrance credit manual training work, but the probability is that in the future this will be given.
The various sections of the conference had the best attendance that they have ever had.
THE LUNCHEON
A luncheon was served to the visiting teachers in Snow Hall at 12:15. A committee of ladies of the faculty had the arrangements in charge. Mrs.O'Leary was the chairman of this committee. Ten of the University girls served.

INSTITUTE OVER
CLOSED WITH YESTERDAY'S LECTURES.
Black at Vespers Tomorrow.
Many Students and Down Town People Were in Attendance—Dr. Block at Vanessa Tomorrow
The Bible Institute this year was successful. Each lecture was well attended and appreciated by the audiences. Both Doctor Black and Professor Sanders made many friends while here.
In his Thursday afternoon talk on the doctrine of sin Professor Hugh Black again emphasized the importance of the truths of the past even in the reconstruction of a doctrine. The Old Testament idea that sin is the opposite of righteousness and the departure of man from God's law is entirely correct.
In the last analysis the cause of sin is in the human will. The theoretical origin of sin is of no consequence, but the practical origin of temptation is of much importance and this makes the human will the tragic battlefield of the world.
In his address Friday afternoon Dr. Black rounded up the thoughts of the week's discussions of doctrines. "The Gossel is not a system but a message," said Dr. Black. "Christ made his religion consist of fellowship with himself." Professor Black emphasized the essential thought of his address by saying that he would not walk across the street to bring a man over to his theology but would put forth a great amount of effort to bring men to Christ.
Professor Black delivered an address before the teacher's conference at 1:30 this afternoon. He will close his week at the University with an address at the vesper services Sunday afternoon at 4:30 in the gymnasium. This will replace the previously announced union service at night.
Thursday afternoon Professor Frank K. Sanders gave his fourth lecture, "The Gospel of John." "This gospel," says Professor Sanders, "is the one of supreme spiritual worth." It is essentially a gospel of the Christian church, its purpose being to develop one theme. As a final word, this gospel, when viewed from any standpoint, is "an apostolic representation of Jesus, and not of His work."
Professor Frank K. Sanders gave his concluding lecture Friday afternoon on "The Personality of Jesus as Outlined in the Synoptic Gospels." Professor Sanders first gave a resume of his lectures during the week, showing the characteristics and special power of each of the four gospels. In speaking of the personality of Jesus, Professor Saunders showed how each gospel brought out and emphasized a certain side of His life. Yet they all try to make us see a great personality. It was through his accumulated power by intercourse with God that Christ could represent to us the divine and the ideal.
