KANSAS MAN EDITS IMPORTANT WORK
WALKER, CARRUTH, AND KESTER CONTRIBUTED
"High School Education" by Many Universities Soon Ready For The Printer
A book entitled "High School Education," edited by Prof. C. H. Johnston, dean of the School of Education, is now being printed by Charles Sribners Sons of New York. It will be put on sale in January. Besides the editor, there are twenty-five contributors from the leading universities and colleges of the country. There are three contributors from this University. They are Professors A. T. Walker of the department of Latin, W. H. Carruth of the department of German, and F. E. Kester of the department of Physics.
The purpose of the book is to treat on the various problems of subjects in the different high school courses. All of the new subjects are treated, as Fine Arts, Music, Domestic Science, the High School Library; and all the main branches of study will be included.
The emphasis of the book is on preparation for life and adjustment to the needs of the home community, and not preparation for college as has been the case in the past. The work describes the tendency today for high schools to deal with what is considered to be a modern crisis in the development of the American high school. The condition has been to prepare the graduate for college, but this is being changed to prepare him for life as most of the graduates do not go to college. As a result the whole high school curriculum is undergoing a great modification and enlargement to meet this new condition.
The book attempts to recognize these present conditions and through experts to embody such educational principles in the work. Each of the contributors wrote on one subject of the high school course. Prof. Johnston wrote the three introductory chapters. Prof. Carruth wrote the chapter on German; Prof. Kester, on Physics; and Prof. Walker wrote the chapter on Latin. The other contributors are from the universities of Michigan, Wisconsin, Columbia, Harvard, Ohio State, and Chicago, the medical schools of St Louis and Michigan, the normal schools of Wisconsin and Ypsilanti, and the superintendent of the Saginaw, Mich., city schools

GRAFTER MEETS DISASTER.
Brilliant Pennsylvania Student Meets an Ignominous End
Mr. O. Upward Kidd, until lately a student at the University of Pennsylvania, is no longer in the land of the living, and for his premature demise Percy Van Dyke Shelley, B. S., A. M., professor of English, is held responsible, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
At the beginning of the academic year six sophomores conspired to add the name of a mythical personage, O. U. Kidd to the roster of Professor Shelley's course in English composition. On the very rare occasions when "Kidd, O. Upward," was called on to recite, one of the sexet of his progenitors solemnly rose in the large and crowded class room and responded for him. When midyears came, another of the devoted band handed in papers for him and "O. U. Kidd" passed with flying colors.
At different times in the year no fewer than eight themes were written in his weird name by as many different hands, and these won for their supposed author the heartiest professional encomiums.
"This man Kidd," said Prof. Shelley to his class one day, "seems to be doing unusually good work. There's extraordi nary variety to it—so many angles of approach, so many different points of view, I cordially commend his theses to the rest of you for your emulation."
There may have been a few "loud grins" on the part of those who were let into the secret, but nobody "peached." When it came to the final examinations lately held, the story leaked out because nobody had time to see to it that poor Mr. Kidd, like his pirate namesake, went through with sails flying. One of the professors who heard the tale thought it was too good to keep, and brought it to Prof. Shelley's ears. Hence the sudden demise of as brilliant a student of English literature and composition as the university has produced in recent years. There is much regret that so promising a career has been nipped in the bud, and it is felt that the like of his sex-tuple genius may never patter along the corridor of college hall again.
