Y. N. c.. A. VOLlEY BALL TEAM
OPENS SEASON FRIDAY NIGHT

The local Y. NJ. c. A. representa-
tive volley ball team will open Its
192O-21 season Friday night when
il goes to Railway to play the sex
tet of that place a best three out of
five games series. The Perth Am
boy team. which was defeated but
once last year. has held W practice
sessions during the past couple OF
weeks and Francis Oliver has been
elected captain of this years team.
The team which will go to Railway
on Friday night will consist of
Capt. Oliver. George w. Sharp, Jr..
Herbert Rankin, George Dover,
Ellwood Johnson. Charles Stocker,
Christian Nielsen and Frank Frado.
Physical Director S. c. Pew will ac-
company the team.
A schedule of games. both at
home and away. is being arranged
by the team this year in an effort
to prove that the local team is not
only the best in this state but in this
part of the country. Last year the
team, which was practically the
same as this years conf ination
did not lose one match to a New
Jersey team although they met COM
binations from every part OF the
state, including Trenton, Paterson,
| Morristown, Summit, Newark, Rah-
way, Plainfield-in fact n team
with which a match could De ar
ranged.
Not only New Jersey buo New
York and Connecticut teams met
defeat alike al the hands of the
Amboy players. Brooklyn CentraI
was the only team to defeat the
local team last year and this was
done only because the Amboy play
ers were minus the services of one
man. A return match to even mat
ters could never be obtained.
The Germantown (Pa.) team Is
| recognized as the eastern champion
shin team. The local team, after a
few practice games, will endeavor
to secure a match with that combi-
nation in an effort to annex the title
now held by them.
PHYSICAL Director Pew, who in
troduced volley ball here about siS
wears ago. is responsible for the in
terest taken in the game n o
with him again back in the locaI
association after q two years alb
sence IL is expected that at least one
match a week will be played undei
his supervision.
Oliver Leads New League
The first games in the Tuesday.
Friday business mems volley bal
league were played last night, re-
sulting in divers team winning two
straight from Rankin's combination
while Greisen and Frado broke even
each winning and losing one. Owing
to the fact that seven of the class
members, all of whom are on the
varsity, will not be in class Friday
night, owing to their going to Rah-
way to play, the league games on
that night will be postponed until 2
later date. Teams chosen for y
night will play. however. thus Civ
the members their usual numb
games.

The company might have divided the

MORE Good ROADS
Association Creating Enthusi-
asm by Highway Propaganda.
Members in So TOwns-Start
Monthly Magazine Soon.

A total OF 235,ooo pieces OF litera-
ture have been printed and distributed
by the Kansas Good Roads associa-
ton, according to ]. A. Fansler, state
manager. This was in addition to the
regular routine correspondence
handled by the office.
Representatives of the association
have visited a total of 127 towns.
Members have been secured for the
good roads organization in 50 differ
ent Kansas towns.
>Petitions have been presented and
circulated for 152 miles of hard sur
faced road, Fansler points out. Petit
as follows: Montgomery county, 6S
miles; Harvey county, AZ miles;
Franklin county, % miles, and 10
miles in Shawnee county.
Petitions have been drawn up for
organizations in the following seven
teen different counties: Doniphan,
Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson. Linn,
Leavenworth, Marion, Marshall, Mont
gomery, Neosho, Nemaha, Usage and
Sumner.
In the near future the Good Roads
association will begin the publication
of monthly magazine, Fansler says.
1t will be modelled along lines taken
by other good roads publications in
other states. 1t will contain articles
dealing, with the progress Of the good
IOdtlS movement III all parts OF the
state. 1t will carry pictures of work
being done in the various counties,
comparing complete roads with condi-
tons existing before the work was
undertaken. Educational propaganda
fostering enthusiasm for good roads
work will be coupled with strict news
on good roads, Fansler says.
A monthly road bulletin is now
mailed each month to all members
who have paid their dues. The Kan
sas association is one of the very few
that offers this service.
Western cities are waking up to the
monetary value of hard surfaced roads
in a surprising manner, Fansler de-
clares. Farmers, at first dubious as
to the value of expenditures necessary
to create them, are now more enthusi-
astic over good roads than ever be-
fore. The increasing use of motor
trucks for hauling, and general trans
portation between the farms and the
towns; the increased speed with which
products can be handled by trucks.
provided the roads are in satisfactory
shape, has exerted a tremendous in
fluence in Fastening cooperation in
securing hard surfaced roads.

CHOOSE VOCATIONS EARLY
Seventeen Average Age of Choice Of
Profession in Kansas.

Profession in Kansas.
AT just what age does the youthful
pirate chieftain sheath his cutlass
the embryo movie queen retire from
the glare of the spotlight?
Can you tell how old you were
when you definitely decided that you
would become a lawyer, doctor,
travelling salesman, a mechanical en-
gineer, minister, or whatever the
profession or calling is that you have
made your life work?
If you don't remember, you may
refresh your memory with this fact:
You were II. That is, II is the aver
age age at which life decisions are
made, and it is more than probable
that you made yours according to the
immutable law of childhood.
Some interesting figures on this
subject were made public in Kansas
today by the American education de-
partment of the Interchurch Move
ment, which has been making an ex-
haustive investigation in connection
with its survey study of the impor-
lance of secondary schools.
Children Choose Vacations.
There is cumulative evidence to
indicate that life decisions are made
for the most part during the sec
ondary school period" said DIR. Will
liam B. Clemmer, field secretary of
the movement in Kansas. More than
IS per cent of students make their
choice of vocation in the secondary
grades, but even II the choice.is made
during the college years, usually the
attitude toward life has been deter
mined during the earlier school days"
The whole matter is not one of idle
inquiry; but, in the view of Inter-
church leaders, of vital importance in
relation to the quality of citizenship
of the future. One of the greatest of
the projects com pretended in the In
terchurch Movement is that of bring
ing forward a body of Christian citi-
zens fitted to solve the important
tasks of the next generation. And it
is in the secondary schools, when the
students are approaching the age at
which they decide upon their life
work, and are most susceptible to
training and influence, that the
foundation of their futures is laid.
The observation is not SO much
criticism of the college as it is an ap-
secondary school, The Interchurch
Movement aims to give better finan-
cial support to these institutions.
many of which are of a denomina-
tional character, stricter attention to
the spiritual side of the curriculum,
better paid teachers-teachers who
are en- rapport with the true spirit of
Christian citizenship. For Doctor
Clemmer points out that the need of
the time is not only more ministers,
better paid ministers with the broad
outlook of men of the world, but for
better lawyers, better physicians, bet
ter merchants, better men; that is to
say, more Christianlilze men in every
walk of life.
