COMMUNITY LIFE
Hays Normal Teacher Would
Install Cooperative Work.
Exhibits Ideal Community at
Golden Belt Fair.

Hays, Kan, Nov. S.-By using a
force of field workers, rural western
Kansas might be transferred into an
ideal communistic territory in five
years, Miss Katherine Shoenhals, pro-
fessor of rural education of the Fort
Hays normal, asserted in an interview
today.
Miss Shoenhals attempted to i'm
bue the people of the Golden Belt
district with the community splrit,
when the Golden Belt fair was held
at Hays, by placing on exhibit model
community representing every phase
of community life. A large commun-
ity hall, a church, with pastorage,
a consolidated school. with teacher
age, a cooperative store, community
elevator, and a cooperative laundry,
creamery light and power plant ana
canning factory, and auto sheds, morse
barns, club rooms, ETC., constituted the
display.
life is represented" said Miss Shoen-
halls ''the social, religious ana IN
dustrial life, with all the advantages
of the city, and none of its d1sadvan-
taEeS."
Economy of effort and structure
is the keynote of this plan, the entire
scheme being run from one central
district by those residing in the cen
trail part.
Personal Work Necessary.
1t is the belief of Miss Shoenhals
that this is best worked out by taxing
a force of field workers into the terri
tory of the districts contemplating
such a step, and doing personal work:
Naturally, if the ideas were worked
out in the normal school, much OF the
preparatory work would be eliminated,
but this work would lack the personal
element, and every community needs
Iar, no or
Miss Shoenhals will prepare another
model to be used in the Golden Belt
Teachers association meeting at Hays
in March. Plans are also being made
to make community work a part of the
course in the normal school here.
Trips over the western part of the
state, are a part of Miss Shoenhals
work, and she asserted that the people
of Kansas are ready for the move
meant to be put on foot. Several COM
munities are already making inquiries
concerning the plans.

Fewer Deaths From lnfaptiIs Paralysis
Despite Worst Heat Wave Of Sea-
son - Seventeen Deaths in Past
Twsnty-Four Hours.

8,
New York, july -. - Despite the
worst heat wave Of the season the epi-
demic OF infantile, paralysis took a turn
Tor the better today. During the twen-
ty-four hours before 10 o'clock this
morning soaly sseventee deaths were
reported In the five boroughs Of New

An absolute quarantine against New

into effect and vigorously enforced in
New Jersey today. No children under
16 will be allowed to enter New Jersey
from New York. New Jersey children
under 16 will not be permitted to cross
the Hudson.
This action has been taken by the
health bureau of New Jefsey to prevent
the spread Of the disease into that
state.
Mayor Mitchell and physicians Of this
city, including members Of the advis-
ory board of the health /, department,
held a conference today to ascertain
whether any more steps can be taken
to check the epidemic. Warning against
panic was issued and the commission
said the deaths from infantile paralysis
had not been so great as from other
epidemics, 1t pointed out that In the
last epidemic Of measles there were
from 900 to 900 cases day while the
mortality ranged from 20 to so per
cent More lives were lost and more
permanent injuries resulted from
measles last year than will ensue from
this outbreak Of infantile paralysis, the
commissioner said.
