Denfeld is junior animal husbandry

Many critics have picked Denfeld as
an all Missouri Valley conference tao
kle and he has been unanimously Sc
lected as an all state tackle because Of
his steady consistent playing. He will
make an excellent leader for the 1917
Cyclones because of his popularity
among his fellow students and team
mates.
Under his leadership Ames should
have successful football season next

and Sloss Of this years team will be
lost by gradua ton. Coach Mayser said;
.If all Of the eligible men return next
fall, Ames will find themselves in the
surprising state Of having veteran

The alumni association has informed
Coach Mayser that they intend to
award prizes to the men OF the team
next fall who make the least number
of fumbles, handle the ball the best
and do the best forward passing, punt
ing and drop kicking. The purpose Of
this is to try to prevent SO much FUN

Gates ELIMINATION OF
EIGHTH GRADE.
PLAN SUCCESSFUL IN
UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL
Franklin w. johnson. Principal of Uni.
versity School, Speaks on "Avoidanes
Of Duplication Between Grades and
High School" at Annual conferenes
on School Supervision.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. Dec. 9.-The third annua
conference on school supervision clos
cd here this noon. In both attendance
and in enthusiasm. this years meeting
has been the most successful of the
three that havs been hell. Nearly 3ot
persons-county superintendent. cit!
superintendents, high school principals
high school instructors, grade schooI
principals and college protessors-were
present at the three days session.
The speakers of the conference were
lea ding authorities on matters pertaln-
ing to school supervision and came
from wide range of territory In adj
dition to the lectures, round tables
were held for informal discussions OF
the problems which are met every day
by the school superintendent ana prln-
cipal. These were declared to be one
of the most interesting and instructive
features Of the meeting.
Elimination Of Eighth Grade.
Franklin w. Johnson, principal OF
the university high school in connec-
ton with the University Of Chicago
was the principal speaker of this
session. In discussing The
Avoidance of Duplication Between
Ora des and High School, he described
in detail the system used by the hlgh
school Of the University of Chicago
whereby the Aghth grade is entirely
eliminated and the plan to do away Ia
ter with one year of high school.
"Much time has been wasted in ele-
mentary school by teaching material OF
no practical and little educational val
ue," he asserted. Arithmetic offers a
good illustration in which one may find
from examination of text books or by
consulting the memory Of his school
DAYS, a good deal of material whose
only. purpose is to serve as basis TOT
intellectual gymnastics. the value OF
which is questionable.
There is a distinct lack Of co-ordi-
nation between grades and the high
school and between the high school
and the college. Often that material
which has already been learned blythe
pupil will be repeated in the high
school or in the college. which is OBJ
viously pure waste of time.
Avoid Repetition Of Work.
Since eliminating the eighth grade
three years ago. the students of the
high school of which am principal
have maintained record as good as
that Of pupils who have entered from
other schools, and in some cases bet
ter We have eliminated all the un-
necessary material from the grades and
placed in its stead modern languages
and mathematics, thereby making he
teaching Of these subjects in high
school unnecessary.
