A NEW PLAN TO TRAIN TEACHERS
HAS BEEN DEVISED BY THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION.
Provides Future Teachers With Practical Work by Affiliating High School With University.
Prof. C. H. Johnston, Dean of the School of Education, met the teachers of the Lawrence high school Thursday afternoon of last week to discuss a plan recently proposed by the University whereby students of the School of Education will be enabled to do practical work as teachers in the high school.
The plan of affiliating the School of Education with the high school, as proposed, would give the students the privilege of a school room environment for nine weeks. Each student would direct classes, correct papers and report on the methods used in teaching.
Under the supervisor would be four assistant supervisors, to direct the practice teaching. These assistants may be teachers in the departments in which the work is carried on. The students are to receive credit for this teaching which will be one of the requirements for a state teachers' certificate, and for a degree in education.
A supervisor would be employed as instructor over all the details of the practice teaching. He would be a member of the University faculty employed for this work.
At the present time twenty three universities and colleges have relations with a nearby school,and twelve own their practice schools. Since 1826, Germany has developed the system in some form, until now it has a fine organization in that country.
Lecture Courses Planned.
It is argued by the projectors of the new plan that the arrangement would result in benefit both to the University and to the high schools. No decision was reached by the high school teachers at the meeting Thursday.
A course of lectures will be given this year before the teachers in Kansas City, Kan., by university professors. On one Saturday of each month a lecture is delivered on the present scientific aspects of education. Following this, the four hundred teachers are divided into four sections,presided over by Prof. C. H. Johnston and Prof. H. W. Josselyn of the University of Kansas, Professors Wilm of Washburn, and Professor Miller of the Kansas City high school.
On December 10, Professor Johnston will lecture before the Atchison County Teachers' Association on "Habit-Making and Habit-Breaking in School Work."
Storm Delays Work
Work on the new administration building has been suspended on account of Sunday's storm. A force of men was busy Monday afternoon clearing away the snow preparatory to resume work, and if there are no further interruptions by bad weather the outside walls of the building will begin to rise this week.

VISITED JOPLIN MINES.
A party of mining engineers headed by Prof. C.M. Young, visited the Joplin mining district during the Thanksgiving holidays They were the guests of Mr. O. N. Wampler, '06, who ie one of the largest mine operators in the district.
The Mining Engineers Inspected Southwest Missouri District.
Friday the party visited the concentrating plant and smelter of the Granby Mining and Smelting company, which is the oldest company in operation in this district, having started work there in the summer of 1863. They spent Saturday at the plant of the Independent Powder Co. and at other different mines in and around Joplin. Mr. Wallace, state mine inspector for the state of Missouri accompanied the party on Saturday.
The party, with the exception of Professor Young, returned to Lawrence Sunday evening. Professor Young went to Galena, where he had a preliminary survey of the ground, upon which he is contemplating the erection of a concentration plant for the use of the state of Kansas in which an attempt will be made to ascertain the loss that is contracted in the waste materials each year.
Three automobiles were placed at the disposal of the party and in this way they were able to cover all the district in a most satisfactory manner. Everywhere they went they were treated royally by the people with whom they visited.
Prof. W, C. Hoad, chief engineer for the State Board of Health, left last night on a trip of inspection. During this trip he will visit Garden City, Kinsley and Dodge City, in the interests of the state board.
Dean Charles S. Skitton of the School of Music went to Emporia yesterday to attend the meeting of the state Music Teachers' association.
