TO VISIT TWENTY-TWO TOWNS

High School Debating Leagues, Correspondence Classes, and Social Centers Established.
Twenty-two towns in the western part of the state are being visited by Ralph Spotts, organizer for the University Extension department. He will inspect local conditions and introduce work of the extension department wherever it is desired. Correspondence work, lecture study work, debating and public discussion, and general information and welfare are the branches of the activities of the University extension for which Mr. Spotts will try to create an interest.
In the division of correspondence study alone, there are over 150 courses of high school and University work that can be taken. The lecture courses are especially interesting to woman's clubs and literary societies. Several University professors are now engaged in this work in the eastern part of the state, which was visited by Mr. Spotts last fall.
The High School debating league is also very active in this part of the state, and is proving very efficacious in arousing an interest in high school debating. Several debates have been held under its auspices, and in the spring the contest for the state championship will take place in Frazer Hall at the University.
Then there is the general department of information and welfare which has been called "the University Question Box." Its purpose is no less than to make knowledge of all kinds, more generally available to the people of the state. It will do anything in its power to help prepare a speech, furnish material for debate, or supply information to a city council or commission relative to municipal problems, such as city sanitation, public utilities.
Under this department falls the matter'of the wider use of the costly school plant of the state and the civic and social center movement.
The twenty-two cities to be visited by Mr. Spotts are: Nickerson, Sterling, Lyons, Great Bend, Spearville, Larned, Kinsley, Dodge City, Cimarron, Garden City, Bucklin, Greensburg, Pratt, Cunningham, Harper, Medeine Locke, Kiowa, Anthony, Caldwell, Belle Plaine, Mulvane, Augusta.

WOULDN'T USE LIBRARY
TO SHEVLY CLOSE IT UP
While the University of Kansas library was closed during the cold weather the students were clamoring to get in. It's not so at Wabash. Because students there do not go to the library at night it is likely to be closed every evening.
SO THEY'LL CLOSE IT UP.
Up until this year there were no lights in the building, and the authorities went to the expense of wiring the rooms so that students would have access to the books after night.
An article in a recent issue of the "Bachelor" states that the men are not visiting the library much of evenings and that it was almost an assured fact that the building will only be opened during the day.
SCHOOL CONFERENCE WILL BREAK RECORD
Most Attractive Program for March Meeting—Large Attendance Expected.
The ninth annual conference of Kansas high schools will be held March 15-16 at the University under the direction of the School of Education.
It is planned on a larger scale than ever before and is to be a representative meeting, including every educational activity in the state.
In connection with the conference a luncheon will be held in the Robinson gymnasium.
The State High School Debating League will hold a business meeting Saturday the sixteenth and the annual high school basket ball tournaments will take place, commencing Thursday the fourteenth.
The following eminent speakers from outside the state are on the program: Dr. C. O. Davis of the University of Michigan, the most prominent authority on the reorganization of high schools in the United States, Ella Bond Johnston of Richmond, Indiana, president of the Richmond art association, who will illustrate by slides the fifteen year development of the democratic art movement in the public schools of Richmond; Henry Churchill King, president of Oberlin College, author of many important religious books, who will discuss the psychology of religious education.
Besides these speakers, twenty-seven prominent educators in the state besides ten university professors will take part in the program.
The distinctive feature of the conference will be that all discussions will center about active experiments and investigations being carried on in the schools of Kansas under the direction of the School of Education.

SALINA HIGH SCHOOL WILL EDIT A WEEKLY
Ambitious Students Get
Salina, Jan. 31.—The students of the Salina high school printing plant have decided to publish a weekly newspaper. The paper is to be printed at the high school plant and all the work will be done by the students.
New Type and Will Publish Paper.
The paper will be four pages, the first page given over to editors, and the last will be reserved exclusively for advertising the high school sporting events. The inside pages will be devoted to news. There will be no subscription rates, the paper to be delivered free to those who wish it.
The department has been publishing a monthly magazine, "The Habit" for some time but this with the job work done did not keep the students busy and Professor Karl Miller who has charge of the department notified the students that he was brought before the board of education the same evening and the next morning $43 worth of new type was delivered to the waiting students.
The new publication has not yet received a name but it is expected this honorary degree will be conferred at the next meeting of the editors.
Leavenworth High School, Feb 1: (Walter Hill, Special Correspondent). Debating is the chief topic of conversation now at Leavenworth High School. This season's team is without doubt one of the best that has ever represented the school. It has met and defeated Atchison and Lansing High School and has but one team to meet to win the district championship. The question for this district is, Resolved: That the commission form should be revised in the Kansas statutes insures an increase of efficiency and a decrease of corruption."Leavenworth has won on both sides of the question.
LEAVENWORTH HIGH HAS
A CRACK DEBATING TEAM
Leavenworth will debate Perry here for the championship of the first district February 15. The question will be the same as was used in the other debates, Leavenworth having the negative side. If Leavenworsh is victorious it should make a strong bid for the state championship.
Three juniors, Lyle Sellers, Ray Farris, and Walter Gable compose the team.

The extreme cold in the unheated dancing pavilion in which the games were played was instrumental in keeping down the score.

FOR OLATHE HIGH SCHOOL
The Independence, Mo., High School basket-ball team defeated the Olathe High School here Friday night by a score of 28 to 42. Olathe was in the lead at the close of the first half, but the visitors came back strong during the last few minutes of play.
