SEE CHANGE NEAR MAKE IT USEFUL
Nine-Tenths of Pupils Leave
School at Early Age.
President Waters Pleads Their
Cause to Educators.

Making education more practical. was
the keynote of the address given this
morning at the Auditorium by Presi-
dent H. ]. Waters of the State Teach
ers' association.
Nine tenths of the number of boys
and girls in the United States leave
school and take up life's burdens before
they are 16 years of age" he stated If
these people are to be reached with a
practical education, it will be necessary
to put the instruction in the seventh
and eighth grades and in the first two
years of the high school.
"A preliminary step to the ac-
complishment of this result is the ma
terial broadening of the door leading
into our institutions of higher learning.
A prepare ton that will best fit boys
and girls for the Iuties of life must be
accepted as a satisfactory preparation
for the college and university.
THE higher Institutions of learning
must not be instruments for limiting
the usefulness of the secondary and
primary schools. but must be as ready
to help them to adjust themselves to
community needs as they have been to
keep these same schools to raise their
standards
''The boys and girls in the rural
schools of today are to be farmers of
tomorrow. The abundance and certainty
of the harvest will be directly proper
these husbandmen. Intelligence and
skill, in turn. will be dependent upon
the quality and quantity of the educa-
ton these young people now receive.

with very meager education will de-
vOlve the stupendous task of doubling
our food output. This doubling cannot
come through the doubling of our area
under the piow, as have come all prev
iOus increases in food output in this
country. but must come through the
doubling of the yield of the acres now
in cultivation.
AT first thought it may be doubted
whether the farmer of tomorrow will be
able to meet this demand of society

The teachers of the high school gave
a reception Wednesday afternoon in
the Manual Training building for the
parents of the students. Two of the
upstairs rooms were fitted up with
rugs and rocking chairs, and an exhi-
bition of pictures contributed to the
entertainment of the guests. Mrs. r.
W. Coppedge. who returned this fall
from the Katskill mountains where she
spent the summer with a colony of
artists. furnished the pictures for the
exhibit. She has a group of pictures
showing the highest mountain of the
range, in shadow and in sunshine, be-
fore an approaching storm, and in the
early morning. One of the pictures
shows an old stone house in the Con-
necticut valley, built 200 years ago by
the great grandfather of the two spin
sters, one rs and the other 80 years
of age, who occupy it. There is also
a group of paintings of scenes around
Topeka.
