Smallest Per. Cent of Failures in
History of Schools.
Ten Months Course Prevents
Rushing in Work.
LAST DAY OF PUBLIC SCHOOL
Term Was Not Interrupted by
Epidemic of Amy Kind.
Enrolment Larger This Year
Than Ever Before.

In the public school year which
closed today there was g. smaller per
cent of failures than in any year prob
ably in the history of Topeka schools.
according TO Supt- A ]. Stout The
exact percentage of failures has not
been estimated but Superintendent
Stout said he was confident that the
records would show the decreased
number OF failures in proportion TO the
enrolment
Two explanations are given by Sup
erintendent Stout for the interesting
and satisfactory scholastic improve
ment in the public schools For the
first time in three years the school
term has been uninterrupted by cpl
denies and other matters requiring
the closing Of schools, he pointed out
The second reason for the improve
ment may lie in the ten months school
year which allows a more thoro de-
velopment of the course Of study and
prevents hurrying of the students
thru their work.
Work Back TO Normal.
"Our work this year proceeded nor
mally for the first time in three years,
Superintendent Stout said The in
fiuenza epideniies and the coal strike
which forced school elosings. disor-
ganized our plans for the years 1918,
1919 and 1870. and the improvement
this year with normal conditions is to
be expected"
The public school enrolment was
larger this year than ever before, Stout
said. Approximately 1850 students
were enrolled in the high school and
q total of 5000 in grade and high
schools combined. With the enroll
ment Of the parochial-schooIs included
Topeka has about one-fifth of its pop
ulation in its schools.
The high school enrolment was af-
fected to some extent this year by boys
registering for school work after hav-

Washington. June 10.-Aetion on
the nomination of George R. Rick
ards, OF Penn, to be chief Of the
militia bureau and Major Robert G.
Peck to be lieutenant colonel was
held up today by the senate military
committee on objections by Senator
Capper, Republican, Kansas
Rickards's selection was regular

He has favored appointment of Ad-
jutant General Charles L Martin, OF
his state. to this post Martin was
endorsed by thirty-five governors.
while Richards was being supported
by the general staff, the senator said
In the case of Major Peck. further
affidavits were presented by Senator
Capper. The officer is alleged TO
have spoken slightingly of the Kansas
National Guard division in France as
"a militia outfit"

In q munition plant during the war re-
turned to school this year ana will be

were in army service were Fe-eHroueo

the high school was 1859 in the 1915
1915 term.
First Ten Months Term.
This has been the first year the To-
peka schools have ever had a ten
months tern- When the school board
decided upon the ten months plan
there was much opposition, in many
cases frem parents. to keeping pupils
in schools for such . length of time
But many expressions of approval Of
thu rev term have come to-the board
of education and public school office
LAS a matter OF fact we have only
two weeks added to the former length
OF the school term" Stout said. THE
vacation at Christmas time is included
in the ten months time, while on the
nine months basis the Christmas va
cation was not included. Then from
June 10 to September 5. the summer
vacation, there viii be the three
months rest for the pupils
The ten months school year, an ex-
pertinent this year, has satisfied the
board OF education 50 thoroly that the
school work will be continued on the
ten months plan, Superintendent Stout
said.
In no other year in the history of
the schools has there been such in
terest in playground and other school
athletics and recreation as has been
noticeable this year, Stout said. For
the first time in a number OF years
Topeka schools have had q full time
recreationaI director. L P. Dittemore
was employed last fall and, as play
ground leader. has given his time to
that work only Not since Capt W.
P. MaeLean was in charge of such
work in the public schools before he
went to the Mexican border mas play
ground work developed so rapidly.
Another source of satisfaction to
the school board this year has been
the pre-vocation school, an expert
mental school established in the Gar
field building last fall The school
has had an enrolment Of 140 pupils
and has been satisfactory in every
way. H. r. Thompson, principal,
and E J. Buckles of the high school
faculty are chiefly instrumental in the
success Of the school.
