TO TRY "PART TIME"
SCHOOL WORK HERE
salesmanship Glass Organized Al
Business High School-Pupils
to Work and Study.

Part time" school work is to be tried
at Business High School this year,
craftsmanship class having been organ
lied today on basis that Will enable
the pupil to work part of the week and
study the remainder of the time. Ar
rangements have been made between
the faculty of the school and a number
of store managementS whereby the pu-
nils will study the theory of salesman
ship and other subjects bearing on this
line of work three days a week; the
other three week days will be put into
practical work behind the counters of
the stores. For this service the pupils
will receive 81 day as minimum
employed in the store.
1t is pointed out that through this ar
rangement not only will the pupils
learn both theoretical and practical
salesmanship at the same time, but
it will also enable a number of
pupils to attend school who might 9TH
erwise feel inclined to drop studies in
order to get out and earn money. At
the same time. it is anticipated by those
in charge of the salesmanship course
that it will enable merchants to OBJ
tain high-class help when the boys and
girls graduate, and give to the pupil
entering this line of work a better op-
portuni-y for advancement
The pupils are to go to school Tues
days, Wednesdays and Thursdays and
go to the store to which they are as
signed Mondays. Fridays and Satur-
days. They will be directly under
school supervision, and absence from
the store will count as absence from
school.
In school they are to study English.
commercial law. bookkeeping and
arithmetic. this being adapted to store
work: salesmanship, textile merchan-
d sing. color and design. and practice in
penmanship.
Part time" school work has been
tried in many parts Of the country with
great success.

Weather Influence

The weather man has much to
do with making people glad or
blue. On dreary days of fog and
rain men are disgruntled, and
complain; whe1 weather is as
bad as that, Id never pass around
the hat; for when a man is chilled,
alack! with goosefesh up and
down his back, he won't chip in
a pair of straws to help along a
worthy cause. He feels that he
will need his roll to purchase
blankets, grub and coal. He looks
with pessimistic eye on every
thing beneath the sky. and says
the Germans can't be licked, and
all their foes will be gold-bricked.
But when the weather mans be-
gun to trot along his good old
sun, and when the skies are blue
and fair, and like a tonic is the
air, and dismal clouds don't come
to bat, l like to pass around the
hat. Then people reach down in
their jeans for coin to buy new
submarines, to help Red Cross,
Y. NJ. c. A, or anything that
comes their way. Then optimistic
are all guys; I hear no deep,
heartrending sighs, and people
say, We'll bet some mon we'll
have the Germans on the run
The weather man should realize
how much depends on being wise,
and dish up days no man can
knock-the very best he has in
stock. WALT MASON.

Kansas Council of Defense,

Topeka, Kansas. June 20.-Sweet
corn planted at this time will pro-
duce satisfactory crop of roasting
ears and vii be especially valuable
for canning, says the garden commit
tee Of the Kansas Council of Defense.
Sweet corn grows rapidly during
the. warm weather as long as the
ground contains plenty of moisture
This crop may well be used to replace
radishes, lettuce and other early sea-
son vegetables that have reached ma
turIty, or it may be put on vacant
ground not yet untitled.
Varieties that are adapted to. Kan
sas conditions are Stowell's evergreen
and country gentlemen
Careful preparation and thorough
cultivation of the ground planted TO
sweet corn are the main essentials IN
growing a crop.
A quart OF milk IS equal IN food
value 70 eight eggs, q pound of steak,
or half a pound Of cheese. This is
the statement Of the committee on
utilization and economy, Kansas
Council OF Defense.
Milk, 1t is pointed out, is cheap
tissue builder, because the protein
that It contains is OF kiad particu-
larry valuable for building tissue.
Ordinarily milk Is the cheapest and
most valuable source Of lime and

teen years and land that is been TO-
tated.
T. Difference between early and
late fall planting.
g. Comparison of Kanrad and
common wheat seed.
These and many other points of in
terest will be discussed right in the

see the results for themselves.
Everyone is requested to meet al
the Experiment Station grounds al

| for the wheat fields. Beside the elev
| en- fields, we viii visit over 400 differ
