The Greatest Country School in

The new s225,0OO Holcomb Con
solidated School is near completion
and will open in September. This is
the largest consolidation project in
Kansas.
Last year at Holcomb, eight miles
west of Garden City, there was a
three roOmed school. Within a radius
of 80 sections there were seven other
schools, all one roomed.
This year there will be one school
in place of eight, but it will be a com
plete modern school with one teacher
for each grade from the first to the
twelfth through a four year high
school. The new school is costing
S225,000 and includes a fully modern
school building, a superintendent
home, a faculty home for the teachers
and twelve acre farm and home for
the agriculture teacher.
The school viii operate ten auto
buses and all the children will be
transported morning and evening.
While the Holcomb school is a rural
school eight miles from town, 1t has
been able to get the best teachers in
Kansas and all are college graduates
or Normal trained
The Holcomb project has been
worked out in all its details by the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal School
through its professor of rural educa-
| ton. C.. z Rarick
Wednesday, September 1, tri-
umphal procession Of ten big, new
Autobusses will form at Wichita
where the buses were purchased and
be driven overland to Holcomb, a dis
lance of $50 miles. A distinguished
party of State Officials and Educators
will make the pilgrimage and ovations
are being prepared in all the county
seats and intervening towns through
which the procession viii pass.

The Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, Manhattan, has mailed its cata-
logue with announcements for the
next year. High school graduates
who desire a sound and practical
course in applied science, agriculture,
engineering, or home economics,
would do well to get a copy and study
the facilities of this college. Grad
yates of the common schools may be
interested in its school of agriculture
which offers thorough vocational
training of high school grade to those
who cannot obtain this at home.

High school students are asked to
enroll the week previous to the open
ing of school. Experience has shown
the wisdom of this advance enroll
ment, whe plenty of time can be given
for the selection of courses under the
advice of the teacher. Whenever
possible, parents should accompany
the students to confer with the school
authorities in the matter of enroll
ment. We shall insist that parents
or someone representing them, ac-
company freshmen. Dates of enroll
ment are as follows: Freshmen,
Thursday afternoon, Sept. 2, from 2
to 6; Sophomores, Friday forenoon,
to II; Juniors and Seniors, Friday
afternoon, 2 to 6.
In conformity with the state course
of study, the following subjects are
offered:
Required: English, 8 units; Math-
ematics, 2 units; History, 1 unit;
Science, 1 unit. Total, z units.
Elective, units from the follow
ing: Latin, or units; Home Econ
omics, units; Manual Training,
units; Commerce, 4 units; Mathe-
MATES, 1 unit; History, 1 unit;
Science, 2 units.
The additional 18th unit required
for graduation may be music or any
subject listed under electives above.
Students who have any notion of
entering college after graduation
should take 3 or units of Latin, 2
units OF history, and in case of boys
especially, units of mathematics.
The county nurse will continue
her work of inspection which proved
such wonderful help to the schools
last year. The physical and dental in
spection will occur early in the term.
Parents are urged to take the
children to the family dentist for a
thorough examination between now
and the opening of school, and have
the necessary work done. This plan
is more satisfactory and will accom-
plish better results than to wait for
the school inspection. If there are
any indication of other defects, these
should also be looked after at once.
Children should begin the term in the
best possible condition.
Especial attention is called to the
Kindergarten. For the first time
Hays is to have an all year kinder

One Word More About Kanred Whea.

One Word More About Kanred Wheat
Did you lose a part of your wheat
crop with rust this year? Kanred is
not as susceptible to rust as other
wheat.
Did part of your wheat winter kill
last year? Kanred is more hardy and
does not winter kill as badly as other
wheat.
Kanred wheat is earlier than other
wheat and it makes from three to five
bushels to an acre more than Turkey
wheat on an average over Western
Kansas.
If interested, write to the Fort
Hays Experiment Station or the Kan
sas State Agricultural College in re-
gard to Pure Kanred Wheat Seed.

FARMERS MAKE
PRODUCTION Cut
Labor Shortage Threat
ening Food Supply,
Says Educator

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Shortagf
of labor in the agricultural states is
resulting in a reduction of acreage
which threatens Americas food sup
ply according to the findings of Per-
ley F. Walker, dean of the Kansas
University engineering school, made
public today at national headquarters
of the American Society of National
Engineers. The dean is head of a
research committee of the MidCon-
tinent section of that society.
Dean Walker found population at
a standstill or declining in agricul-
tural sections, pointing out that 10
of the los counties in Kansas pre-
vented that state from decreasing in
population in decade; the increases
all being in industrial sections. The
same thing holds good in Iowa and
doubtless in other states for the
same period" the dean reported.
Many farmers cannot pay their
1919 debts because the railroads are
unable to move their wheat harvest,
and they are pairing down produc-
ton, he said.
As a remedy, Dean Walker sug-
gested study by engineers of the
economics Of transportation and pro-
duction with a view to, systematizing
a national fitting of enterprises to
localities. This, he thought, would
work out better distribution of pop
ulation where needed and would pre-
vent continued inability of the trans
portation systems to meet the de-
mands upon them.
