Not one word is mentioned in the
book. says the Eagle, regarding wheat,
corn. oats or alfalfa, but in another
section of the book it is stated that
the great wheat states are north and
west of Chicago. And this geography
bears the date of 1907. And this is
the lesson the geography, published by
Charles Scribner's Sons, edited by
Charles F. King of Boston and used in
the Kansas schools, teaches.
Further comment is almost unneces-
sary, although there is room for plenty
of it. And most of 1t should properly

a GEOGRAPHY FOR KANSAS.

A signal service has been performed
bv the Wichita Eagle in the movement
which is growing all the time for an
Improvement of the educational con-
ditions in this state. It has taken the
trouble to look over the geography
used in the public schools of Kansas
by the pupils until they enter the sew
enth grade, which is only a matter of
two years removed from the matricu-
lation of grade school pupils into the
high school. And it has discovered
things which ought to bring bushes Of
shame to faces of those authorities
who selected this geography for use in
the schools. and also to the faces of
the teachers who have yet to protest
against this geography as being de-
ficient
The Eagle has found that the word
kansas" is printed twice in this
geography, once on the cover of the
book, where the words kansas Ed
ton" are printed and again on the
map along with several other states.
Kansas is not mentioned once in the
reading matter. This is quite bad
enough, as the Eagle states, but the
worst feature about this geography is
that it gives the following description
of the section of the United States
where Kansas is located
There Is a belt of high plateau land
east of the Rocky mountain foothills,
stretching from Texas to North Da-
kota, which has very little rain. not

are wonderfully sweet and nourishing.
No hay is equal to these grasses, dried
