PROGRESSIVE KANSAS


The high standard which Kansas
has maintained for years by reason
OF its progressive methods In edu-
cational matters deserved better re
ward than IS accorded in this years
appropriation to the state university,
due chiefly to the adverse action OF
Governor Stubs. But there is one
Item In its allowance for educational
purposes which merits special men
tion and promises excellent results.
The sum of S25, 900 year was ap
propriated for the next biennium to
establish courses III each one of the
one hundred high schools of the
state for instruction in agricultural,
cooking and sewing. With an ad.
ditional appropriation of $50, 700
for 1912 and $4,000 for 1913
for normal training aid in high
schools, which course was begun
two years ago, the value of high
school instruction ought to be raised
appreciably. The good results will
begin to be seen when these addi-
tons to the curriculum are fully de-
veloped in accordance with plans to
be worked out by subcommittee
appointed few days ago by the
state board of education. The new
studies will provide students with a
practical education, along with their
academic equipment, which will! en-
able them to earn a livelihood i'm
mediately after graduation.
This has long been crying need
In the educational facilities supplied
by the public schools, especially in
the case of the children ofpoor par
ents who cannot afford to send them
to college. In future, when a Stu
dent has completed his education IN
the public schools of Kansas, he will
possess the polish and theoretical
knowledge impaired by literary
training and besides he will enjoy
the advantage of being fitted for the
most useful and most important &C.
equations known to mankind.
Since Adam delved and Eve spun,
agriculture has been the chief occu-
patton of man, and woman has been
at her best in proportion to her
knowledge of domestic science.
The products of the soil are the
main foundations of society in rela-
ton to its wealth, comfort and hap
| piness All other branches OF
human industry are dependent on
the farmer, for without the products
of his laburs they could not exist.
1t is true also of woman's work that
her superiority in knowledge of
domestic science, covering the
homely but necessary work of cook
ing and sewing, affords the best
assurance of happiness in the home
and the contentment generally of
society. Even the woman who has
the good fortune not to be forced
to cook or sew with her own hands
need not despise this homely wis
dom, for she will surely need it to
instruct her domestic help, who are
too often ignorant concerning such
things.
The course of normal training aid
ought to be an invaluable benefit to
the people of Kansas in raising the
standard of teaching to high de-
gree. Kansas already stands near
the top as regards the small per-
centage of illiteracy among its pop
ulation and higher equipment of
teachers ought in the nature of
things to raise the state to still
higher rauk.-Kansas City Journal.
