In a suburban high school a teacher
recently asked her students what they
were reading in the newspapers. To
her surprise she found that they were
reading two things and two things only.
The boys were reading "Sports" and
the girls were reading Confessions of
a Wife,
1t is believed that the same condi-
tions obtain in Kenosha senior and ju-
nior high schools. Accordingly the
Evening News is attempting to extend
the newspaper reading of local students
by offering them twelve series of ar
ticles designed especially for them and
published under pictures and captions
as attractive to boys as the latest pho
tograph of Tyrus Cobb and as alluring
to girls as the fuffy-ruffles drawn by
Nell Brinkley or the legends designed
by Beatrice Fairfax and others of the
same mentalityor is it sentimentality9
Beginning with this evenings edition
three articles will be published in each
issue Of the News-one for boys, one
for girls, and ore for both. Tonight s
offerings are GLOW to Study Skill
fully" "Nature Study and "For
Girls to Make" They may be found
on page six top of column.
Other articles in the same series will
be published weekly. In addition there
will be other stories under each of the
following captions: For Boys to Make;
Adventures that Made an American;
Woodcraft; Sports for Boys; The All
Around American Girl; How to Earn
Money Outside Of School; Everyday
Science and Home Mechanics; What
Boys Can Be; What Girls Can Be. No
article in any series will exceed three
hundred words in length but each Of
them will include in that narrow com
pass something worth learning by boys
or girls who want to be winners in the
rather difficult game of life.
The. stories every offering will be
essentially a story-will be written by
corps Of boy-and-girl feature writer's
of no less note than Miss Adelia Belle
Beard, Eleanor S. Moore, and Ralph s.
Alexander They will be subsequently
edited and arranged for publication by
Grant M. Hyde, associate professor of
journalism in the University of Wiscon-
sin. They will be -relayed to the Even
ing News by the Boys and Girls News
paper Service with offices at 205 West
Monroe street, Chicago.
Further evidence of the merit Of the
articles is apparent in the fact that
they have been accepted for publica-
ton BY the Chicago Daily News, the
Detroit Free Press, the Washington
Star, the Boston Traveller, and more
than a hundred other progressive news
papers in all parts of the United States
Special illustrations will accompany
each article and make it doubly attrac-
tive to boys and girls of artistic in
clinations.
By way of stimulating interest in the
various series the Boys and Girls News
paper Service is offering prizes for
scrap-books made from the articles and
supplementary material taken from
magazines and newspapers. First prize
in the contest will be 500 in gold;
second prize $50 in gold; third prize

things worth while in newspapers out
side of sports and the Confessions of a
Wife.
