FIND FUN IN HOBBIES
Aged Kansas Men Enjoy vaca-
ton Period of Life.
Retired Preacher Writes Book, Artist
Collects Bugs and Farmer
Takes Up Sculpture.

TOpeka.-The vacation period of life
years well along toward the hori-
zon-has brought pleasant occupations
to three aged Kansas men. Having
retired from active pursuits, each to-
day is following the bent of his incli-
nations and declares he is enjoying his
pastime immensely-one writing and
printing a book, another collecting in
sects, and the third as sculptor of
stone.
DR.. A. N. See, eighty, retired Meth
odist preacher, who, with his wife,
lives in the Methodist Home for the
Aged in Topeka, has just completed
history of the northwest Kansas con-
ference. He not only gathered the his
torical data and wrote the manuscript
for a 200-page book, but also printed
the pages on a little hand press, and
bound the volumes. Doctor See was
pioneer circuit rider in the big north
west Kansas conference, and later for
many years was superintendent OF the
district.
Karl Stecher, twenty, of Wichita,
artist and educator, chose to pursue
what he claims always has been his
hobby-collecting insects. An extern
sive collection, gathered and mounted
by Mr.. Stecher, recently was displayed
in the show window of a Wichita bank.
It includes specimens obtained by him
ON his travels through six countries
Switzerland, France, Italy, turkey
Canada and the United States.
Mr.. Stecher was born in Oberklrch,
Germany, and came to America 4o
years ago.
Having made comfortable fortune
farming since he came to this country
with his father, 56 years ago from MS
native Belgium, Charles DeLeye Oh
Emmett devotes much of his time 70
sculpturing and making unique stone
decorations for his house and lawn.
Some of these works, which incluce
a large stone gate arch, decorative
wall. a huge basin surmounting stone
base ten feet in diameter, are OF mo-
sale design of varicolored stones set IN
concrete and decorated with the scuip-
tors chisel. The decorative wall is lz'

that in the future high school
teachers shall not be certified

DIR. E. A. Bryan, state commss-
sioner of education, who says there
are many high school teachers IN
the state who are making arrange
ments to attend college for suffi-
cient length of time to take a
degree.
"Of course" said Doctor Bryan
Saturday, "there are high school
teachers in the state who hold lite
certificates. These are permanent
and are not affected by the new
law but as fast as certificates ol
other teachers expire they will be
required to finish or take college
education before they can again be
certified in the state of Idaho"
