The large school presents a special
problem in teaching. The ideal is in
dividual attention. In the smaller
colleges Of Minnesota this is the nat
ural result. In Princeton. Woodrow
Wilson found himself forced to pro-
pose an entire readjustment of teach
ing method in order to progress to-
ward individual attention.
That the great state universities
the great foundations like Yale,
Princeton. and Harvard, have advan-
tage of equipment is beyond question.
That there is a quicker and more
spontaneous pride in their diplomas
is equally clear. But it does not fol-
low. for all this, that the smaller col
|ieges have not distinctive advantages
or that it is well, at this time, to give
approval 20 any scheme of. adjust.
ment which viii tend to diminish
their service.-Minneapolis Tribune

THE SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF
THE SMALLER COLLEGE.

Every observer Of modern Americ-
an educational institutions is giving
thought to the small college To de-
ny that it is in present-though prob
ably passing-danger would be futile.
Schemes to reduce the years of study
required by primary, secondary, and
university courses from sixteen to
fourteen years., to establish Junior"
colleges, to extend the high school
courses so as to cover the first two
years of present college courses, all
threaten the position of the small COL
lege and give new encouragement to
the greater institutions.
DR.. John H.. McCracken, the new
ly elected president of Lafayette COL
lege, would meet this tendency with
higher specialization of purpose for
the smaller colleges. He does not
mean higher specialization for the
student. That he is inclined to be-
lieve, has already been carried too far.
Apparently what he has in mind is
that such college as Lafayette, if it
has developed strength in sociology,
shall center its main efforts on fur
ther development of such strength;
if in engineering, likewise; if in the
ology, likewise; if in agriculture, like
wise.
Much of the speculation fails to
take into account the educational
needs Of this country after few
years more of growth. All of it fails
to give proper consideration to the
special advantages of the smaller
schools as they now exist. For twen-
ty years or more, the alumni of Dart
mouth, Bcwdoin, Williams, Amherst
and colleges of similar size have been
emphasizing their disposition to send
ther sons to their alma mater or to
colleges no larger. However much
this decision is founded in loyalty, it
is sustained by many impressive ar
gumcnts.
The larger colleges are almost III
| evitably ' undencminational. There
| was something more than hunnor in
the observation of the president of
one of the largest American universi-
| ties: We have to be non-sectarian
| and careful to have no religion which
| would be offensive to anyone" In
the field of training avowedly relig-
ious, the small college stands prac-
! tically alone .-4 O.
In social life, in the atmosphere of
| scholarship in contacts with helpful
| personalities, in those friendships
which graduates sometimes treasure
even more than intellectual training,
the lesser institution has usually, more
to offer than the larger. At Harvard
it is expected that the student cannot
know the men outside his own class
and not always those within his

in NORTH Topeka
North Topeka Outing Club
Comes to Life.
Kuehne Preserving Company
Starts New Factory.

With the balmy spring days comes
the first news of the North Topeka
Outing club which is composed of
twelve prominent North side business
men and their families.
A meeting of the club was held re-
Gently and plans were made for this
summers activities. The officers for
this year are: President, Charles
r. Bair of the Topeka Packing COM
pany.
The camp used by the outing club
is located two and one-ha1f miles
southwest of Maple Hill. Two sub
stantial cabins have been erected for
the occupancy of the members, and
each family who belongs to the club
spends ten days each summer at the
camp.
The fishing is reported to be excel
lent in Mill creek and the camp has
three boats for the use of the mem
bers. Certain parts of the creek are
ideal for bathing purposes.
The camping season will start May
25, and continue until late in the sum-
mer.
Booster Meeting.
Plans for another meeting of the
North Topeka Boosters club are be-
ing considered by G.. M Brassfield,
the president of the club, and c. c.
Maze, the secretary.
1t is their intention to call a meet
ing either Friday or Saturday night,
to be held in Lukens opera house. A
number of the candidates for the
coming election have been unable to
attend the previous meetings of the
club. and the meeting if held Satur-
day night will be for the purpose of
giving these candidates a chance to
talk in North Topeka.
Plans for New Factory.
Otto Kuehne, president of the
Kuehne Preserving company, has just
returned from Bridgeport, New, where
he completed arrangements for estab-
fishing a new preserving works.
Stock is being subscribed for by the
citizens of Bridgeport and it is the
plan of the company to erect $4,000
factory.
According to Mr.. Kuehne, the coun-
try surrounding Bridgeport is ideally
situated for a preserving factory.
Bridgeport, Neb-, is located in the
North Platte valley. where 10000
acres of fertile land have just recent
ly been opened for settlement.
The chief output of the factory will
be pickles, but only the primary prep
aration will be done in the Bridgeport
factory. The finished product will be
made in the Kuehne Preserving Works
on the North side.
Those who accompanied Mr..
kuehne to Nebraska were: Frank
Peyton, Elmer Fisher, A. Myrick, Guy
Phillion. W. d. Rogers, Guy Croak
and d. Burgerhoff. The Topekans

Increase Misunderstanding indus
try SUI per cent
Mineral output ...-.....--....40o per cent
Writing to an eastern man few
days ago concerning the growth OF
Kansas in twenty years, ]. c. Mohler
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture, dug up the above figures to
show that Kansas has made wonder
ful development in every line of en-
deavor and industry. Increase in
agriculture, stock raising, manufac-
ture and mineral output has exceeded
twenty to forty times the increase In
the states population for the CORE
spending period.
Only few days ago the federal
government furnished facts and fig
ures which put Kansas in third place
in value of all crops produced. Yet
Kansas drags along as twenty-second
in point of population among the
states of the nation.
Now MOhler has come to the front
with bunch of statistics showing
that Kansas is extending herself in
everything except an increase in the
number of her Inhabitants. While the
voting population has made but little
change and the total population has
increased but 9 per cent in twenty
years, the value of her crops, minerals
ana pTOQuCCS mas IN
creased more rapidly than almost any
state in the Union. At the same time
the states per capita wealth has
grown until Kansas is in the front
ranks.
Population Gain.
While Kansas was making a gain of
8 per cent in population, the value of
the states field crops has increased
fourfold. The value of live stock,
poultry, eggs, garden and horticul-
tural products has doubled. Value of
manufacturing has trebled. The min
eral output is four times greater than
in 1894.
Mothers figures show that in 1894.
the states population was 1,33S,S31.
In 1914, the census returns showed q
total population of 1,672,106.
And yet.
In twenty years Kansas field CROP
values jumped from S61,154,139 in
1894, while last year the same crops
represented a value of $279,9719254s
Other farm products-butter, eggs
poultry, horticulture, live stock and
garden cropS-increased from $50
S4O,127.67 in 1894 to 96,325,7S7.23
last year.
Manufacturing kept pace with stock
growing and almost abreast with the
record for increased value of all
crops. The value of manufactured
products in 1924 was s110.219,805 as
against $S25, 1O4, 0O2 last year. Min
era1 products twenty years ago repre-
scented an annual value of S4,457,2S
as against $18,722.634 in 1914.
That is the story of growth in Kan
saS as shown by the records in the
office of Secretary Mohler They are
the official figures compiled by the
state-both as to population and val
ue of crops, manufacturing and min
eral output

IN BASEBALL SUIT
German-America Bank Sues
Topeka Association.
C.. B. Merriam and Chester
Woodward Asked to Pay.

The German-American State bank
commenced two suits in the Shawnee
county district court today against IN
dividua1 directors of the Topeka Base
ball association who, it alleges, bound
themselves to the payment of proper
tional shares in the debts of that or
ganization. c. B. Merriam of the
Merriam Mortgage company and Ches-
ter Woodward, a real estate and loan
broker are each sued for $2,054. 5S.
There were seven directors and the
total obligation on behalf of the base
ball association which the bank claims
is due amounts, with interest, to 81 A.
3S2.06.
Other directors of the association
were H. A. Auerbach, Arch M. Cat
lin, F. Ct. Metzger, S. ]. Bear and Gull
ford Dudley. A part of the banks
claim has been paid but it is under
stood that other suits are in prepara-
ton.
The total amount claimed represents
liabilities of the association under sew
eral loans, minus the proceeds of the
sale of the franchise of the associa-
ton, made not long ago. The bank
financed the baseball clubs affairs,
accepting the notes of the directors
as guaranty for loans advanced.
Several readjustments of the clubs
liabilities have been made in the past
few years but its failure to pay out
left former officers of the association
to meet a generous deficit.

Now Ills Said Victor Murdoch
VIII Join G.. O. p.
Kansas Retiring Congressman
May Head Back.
Topeka EVENT IMPORTANT
Coming of Senator Weeks
Opens New Vein of Gossip.
RumOr That Roosevelt VIII
Stand Behind Him.

Victor Murdoch. retiring congress-
man from the Eighth Kansas district,
and chairman of the Progressive ma
tional committee, is said to be head
ing back to the Republican party. In
a recent discussion with a well known
member of congress, Murdoch is said
to have indicated that Roosevelt will
cheerfully get behind Senator John
r. Weeks of Massachusetts,. Because
of Murd ock's statement, the coming
of Weeks to Topeka Friday may be a
matter of more than passing political
Importance.
1t is conceded that Senator Weeks
will be a prominent figure in the pres
identiaI fight next year Because of
the indication that he may be offered
as a harmony candidate in the effort
to bring together the warning Progress
siVes and Republicans, the MaSsachu
sets senator's visit to Kansas is sig
nificant to leaders of both parties. A
luncheon will be given for the senator
at the Commercial club rooms Friday
noon and it is probable that both
United States Senator Charles Curtis
and Joseph L. Bristow, retiring sena-
tor, will attend the luncheon. Gov
ernor Capper, various state OFFICIALS
and men prominent in the affairs of
the Republican party in Kansas, will
also attend the luncheon.
Now the political dopesters are fit
ting together the bits of gossip that
have drifted to Kansas from Wash
authoritative statement, Murdoch has
admitted that Senator Weeks may be
a real harmony candidate next year.
Talking to a well known congressman
recently, Murdoch is quoted as saying
that Roosevelt would be willing to
support anyone save William Howard
Taft.
ROoSeVelt'S Word.
Roosevelt recently told me-" Muir
dock is quoted as saying, that he
would support a man like Senator
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts,
Weeks is a banker. He is a con-
sentative of the Murray Crane type,
and regarded as one of the most level
Murray Crane is in charge of the
Weeks presidential boom and Crane is
recognized as one of the Jsmoothest
politicians in the game.
Now Senator Weeks is on a western
tour. He will make number of
speeches. 1t is probable that he will
make talk in Topeka, although his
remarks here may not be directly
along political lines. While here, the
Massachusetts senator will probably
be a guest at the home of Senator
Curtis, Eleventh street and Topeka
avenue.
Senator Weeks is in Kansas City
today. committee composed of D.
w. Mulvane, former Republican ma
tional committeeman from Kansas,
Santa Fe system, will meet Senator
Weeks in Kansas City this afternoon.
1t is probable that they may induce
the senator to come to Topeka tonight |
and spend the entire day Friday in To- |
peka.

TECUMSEH MYSTERY.
Initials ''H. S. NJ" Only Identification
to Man Who Took Own Life.

That the unidentified man found
dead on the right of way of the Santa
F'e railroad east of TecumSeh Wednes-
day had been dead for several days is
the opinion of Coroner J. H. Rinehart
after an examination of the body. The
initials I'll. S. M" in a corner of a
handkerchief furnished a slight clue
that might assist in his Identification.
He was apparently about 35 years of
age, about 5 feet z inches in height,
had light brown hair and blue eyes
and was smooth Shaven.
A small sum of money and a silver
watch were in the pockets. The re-
volver with which he had evidently
shot himself was a new one.
The body is being held at the She'll
abarger mOrgue and will be buried
by the county if not claimed.
John Often, living near Tecumseh,
first reported the body, which lay in
the edge of the woods on the J. S.
Drummer farm about a mile east of
TecumSeh.
