Cook Replies TO Objections
Made by Petitioners.
LEAVE 4 MONTH VACATION

Those who OBJECT to a ten months
school year really have little to COM
plain of IN the light. of the fact that
some school authorities are not only
in favor of the ten months plan but
would recommend that the school year
last twelve months Principal r. K.
Cook Of the high school. and C. H.
Hepworth, assistant Principal, are on
record as approving the ten months
school and think that a twelve
months school year would be prac-
teal
There are thirteen school months
in the year. allowing four weeks to
the month. and. II school were in ses-
SION Twelve months. vacation OF one
month would be possible" Principal
Cook said.
\ Kansas City. Mo. citizen tells
me that there mas never been any OBJ
lection in that city to the ten months
Cor seven or eight years" Cook de-
clared.
Most of Signcrs Young.
"Drd you know that many of the
signcrs of the petition against the ten
months school were barely twenty
one and not competent judges as to
whether or not the term should be
. lenEtheneQs- HepWOrIn ashSu- <AlA0
I noticed names of a number of bache-
Iors signed to the petition, as well as
the name of the principal of a private
school which carries out the ten
-montbs' planP f-s4
II can see two objections which
naturally have a certain amount OF
weight against the ten months school
year" Cook said. lone objection is
the possible detriment to the health Of
certain pupils. Boys and girls, whose
health would be injured by ten
months of school are not strong
enough to go nine months. We can
not adjust school affairs to suit the
werker. and smaller per cent of the
enrolment The other objection, that
Of interfering with summer employ
meat of pupils who need to earn
money is a more sound objection. But
in my opinion. a pupil is much better
off going to school than engaged IN
the kind of work usually found by
the school age boy or girl
1t is expected that action will be
taken by the board on the petition
against the ten months school at a
board of education meeting after the
return of Supt. a. J. Stout in few
day.

Miss Effie Graham of Topeka.
George Milford of Hoyt. Kan, and
Mrs. +. D. Whitley of RollinsvilIe.
Colo, arrived in Topeka Sunday, ac-
companying the body of Miss Lola
Graham, whose death occurred last
"wednesday at Rollinsville, Colo.
All the circumstances surrounding
the death of Miss Graham are proof
to her friends that her death was en-
tirely unprecedented. but was Oc-
casioned by some accident in combina-
ton with the high altitude. She had
spent a happy evening with friends
at the home of Mrs. Whitney, a life
time friend and schOolmate, retiring
in good spirits after planning lunch
con picnic for the follwing~ day. Miss
Graham had been accustomed while
in Topeka to rise very early and take
a long walk and on numerous occas-
ions had gone to Gage lake in COM
pany with her sister, to enjoy a morn
ing swim. 1t is evident to those
closest to her that she was simply fol-
lowing her usual custom. having
taken her bathing suit along the
morning of the accident
The funeral service will be private
and will be held at the residence Tues
day morning. : Relatives in the city
for the funeral are Miss Effie Ora
