FULL TEACHER QUOTAS
Increased Salaries Bring Profession to
Full Strength.

tuli StFcn1tn-
With the exception of a few vacan-
cies in high schools, schools of the
state are opening this fall with full
teacher quotas. according to Miss Lor-
raine E. Wooster. state superintendent
Of public instruction.
More applications from teachers de-
string rural and grade schools have
been received by Miss Wooster than
ers. This condition is reversed in the
high schools, however Sixty-five ap-
plications are on file from high schools
wanting teachers, while the mum Der
of teachers looking for places is thirty
five.
Increased salaries have recruited
the teaching profession to practically
full strength since the war said
superintendent Wooster. THE aver
age high school teacher in this state
now is paid $3.50 to $3.50 a month,
principals from s175 to 5000 and
superintendent 5000 and higher. The
average monthly pay in rural schools
and grade schools in cities of the third
class is about 800. These salaries are
fullyg50 per cent higher than they were
two years ago.
THE high educational qualifications
required for high school teachers
under the present state law has limited
the number available for this work.
Most rural and city schools opened
September or 7, while practically
all will be in operation by Septem-

Short Pitch With Backspin Mashie.
Niblick

Niblick.
Stand fairly close to the ball and
quite open. Turn the face of the club
out slightly in addressing the ball
Take short grip on the club and keep
your feet close together with the ball
opposite the left heel. Grip the club
quite firmly with no relaxation at all
in any part of the stroke. Be sure
that your right elbow is close to the
body all thru the stroke. Take the
club back with your wrist with very
little swing of the arms. Keep both
feet firm on the ground and bend left
knee in toward the ball on your back
swing. Don't hurry the stroke, be
very deliberate. The swings of course
in line with flight of the ball same
as other strokes. At the top of swing
the wrists should be well bent with
right elbow close to the body. The
club barely passes the horizontal posi-
ton. Your downward swing is started
with your left arm using the right
wrist to hit the ball firmly and sharp
". Your body turns with the swing
like the mid-iron and mashie but not
quite so much. You swing down on
the ball causing your club to take the
turf after the ball is hit. At the finish
you do not relax so much. Keep a firm
grip on the club and draw back with
the left elbow, keeping the club head
below the hands. This causes very
little run to the ball.

Change in Santa Fe Line Up.
cap" Wells and his Santa Fe ball
players will take on the Perry Lee
gioneers tomorrow afternoon at the
Western League baseball park at
three O'Clock. The local lineup will
be changed. cap" will catch for
the locals. while Herring. hard hit
ting outfielder, will go to second
base and VogeI, who has borne the
brunt of the backstopping. will grab
the flies in left field. Saffel, the
clever Southpaw, will pass up the
Blenders.
There is a certain element in To-
peka that always go to these Sunday
games and not only bet on the visit
ing teams but spend most of their
time roasting the local players. This
kind of stuff will give Topeka bad
name; visiting teams don't want this
kind of support. Some of these fans"
should take over the job of managing
the local club for just one game and
see how much they would enjoy it.
Think of this the next time you want
to ride cap" Wells. He is making
spots on the team and give Topeka
real team next year, one which can
compete with any of them. Think
how much you would miss If you
didn't have this ball club
Let's show these boys. who have
never had any real coaching. how
much we appreciate their efforts Win
or lose, you can bet they are doing
their best. Think over how many
games they have won in the ninth
coming from behind after appearing
as hopelessly beaten.

Dr. Garfield Weede will return to
Pittsburg Normal to direct athletics at
that school Coach Weede needs little
introduction to the readers of this
column. He was one of the greatest
players that ever took part in football
games at Kansas university. He after
wards went to Pennsylvania university
and was a star while playing in the
east
Doctor Weede coached Washburn
and later went to Cooper college where
he made a remarkable record with the
Sterling boys. The biggest man on his
team weighed 1873 pounds. No team
that I have ever seen in action fought
like these lads from Cooper on that
day. Coming to Topeka hoping to
hold Washburn down to the low score
they sprung a surprise by scoring a
touchdown early in the first quarter
but mfssd their kick putting them on
the defensive and they realized that if
would be defeated. Starting the
fourth quarter with the score still 6
to against them, Washburn rallied
and carried the ball to the 10yard
dine, "Pinky" Beals Juggling the ball.
Time was nearly up. but Washburn
| had four downs to make the coveted
distance Do you think these tired
young warriors quit fighting? I'll say
they didn't. All along the Cooper de-
fensive line the cry rang out, hold
! EN- once more for old Doc Weede,
boys" and with this fight the little
team held the big one away from their
goal until the whistle blew.
Last season Doctor Weede didn't
lose a game but didn't play so many
conference games as the College of
Emporia. Hence the latter was
awarded the championship. Pittsburg
will start the season with a number
of old players back and some prom

eyes on this outfit; they will arrive

PHOENIX. April State Engi-
neer Thomas Maddox has placed in

sors OF the various counties one Of
the most important matters to come
up in the history Of the state high

unlimited quantity OF highway equip
ment at a cos: OF from 16 70 SO per
cent OF its actual value, providing the

dorse a resolution sent on; by the
state engineer which will authorize
him 10 order from the government :

The only possible source Of funds to

II is pointed ont in the resolution
proposed by the state engineer tina,
the Arizona highway department has
an exceptional opportunity to secure
much needed road machinery and ma
terial at one-fif;h actual value.
