the immense corporation of Kansas.
This is undoubtedly true in a certain
sense, but as is the case in all other
corporations, it is the office holders. big
and little, who get their rich picl1ings
before any dividend is declared for the
benefit of the stockholders. And that
is why the office holders and prospec-
tive Office holders are so deeply in
terested in the affairs of THE immense
corporation of Kansas"

KANSAS COMMENT
THE REAL SCHOOL NEED.

THE REAL SC1OOL N EtlD
The journalistic department of the
Kansas State university declares that
newspaper writing should be taught
in the public schools. While all news
papers agree that it should be taught
somewhere. vet there are other things
that can be taught to better advan-
tage in the public schools than writ
ing for newspapers. There are per-
haps a sufficient number of free born
American citizens already who regard
themselves as expert newspaper writ
ers to keep the editor in trouble the
greater part of the time, and IL every
child that goes to school is taught the
art and science of it, the editor will
have more hot water than ever TO
swim in, for the majority of them
after getting out of school. 1t is the
fad just now for every theorist 10
urge that his profession or his fad
be taught in the public schools and
unfortunately, too many have already
succeeded in accomplishing their OBJ
ject along that line. If the fad con-
tinues, it Will soon be the sole duty
of the schools to teach painting, book
keeping, stenography, typewriting,
carpentering, blacksmithing, cooking,
chauffering, awaiting and all the other
stunts, while the three RS" will be
still more neglected, and finally for
gotten. What the public schools real
ly need is a little common, old-fash-
Toned common sense, and this refers
alike to teachers and pupils.-Law-

educated in his profession, has had
many years of practical experience in

In this work he has been honored by
both state and national disease pre-
ventive associations and has been selec-
ted to make a series of addresses on this
subject. DR.. Sticbney is an easy and
convincing speaker and he has a mes
sage. His plea for clean bodies, clean
houses, clean yards, clean streets and
alleys and a clean city should enlist
many co-workers in Saving the p eople
from needless disease. suffering and
death. In another column we give a
