WOULD EXTEND time
ON STATE Land SALES

At a called meeting of the state
board of land commissioners Tuesday
a resolution was adopted, recon-
mending to the Seventeenth session
of the legislature that payments on
the purchase price Of state land now
due. and payable be extended, in order
to give relief to holders of land sale
certificates.
The board is also asking the legis-
1atuure to c1othe it with authority to
extend payments on sale certificates
where, in the discretion of the board,
the conditions justify relief.
The meeting of the board was
called by c. C. Moore, acting governor,
to hear appeals in behalf of holders
of sale certificates. I. H. Nash, state
land commissioner, told of the condi-
tions as he has found them in the
state, and M. D. Jackson of st. An
thony told the board that relief was
needed in his section Of the state.
There is no law at the present time
by which the board can grant an ex-
tension of time for making the pay
ments, but it adopted the resolution
asking the legislature to make such
extensions, and to also grant the
board authority to act in special cases
which might come to it's attention.
There are now 1900 land sale GER
tificates out in the state, and records
show that about 1900 of these are de-
1inquent.
Under the state law a purchaser Of
state land has 40 years to pay for his
land after making his initial payment,
and the requests filed with the board
Tuesday for extensions would simply
relieve the holders of certificates from
paying principal or interest for two
years, and extend the time of the total

A Great Grandma
Would Be Shocked
at Teaching NotO

Lawrence, Kan. March 6.-Twenty-
six members of 'he course in Meth
ods of Visual Instruction." a special
course inaugurated at Kansas univer-
Sity last fall, will go forth to teach
this spring with a thoro knowledge of
the use of visual aids in teaching. All
the members of the class intend to
follow the teachings of the course
whenever possible.
The installation of the course was
the result of a series of experiments
by Prof. J. ]. Weber, of the university
faculty. Included in the course is the
study of series of experiments, SINH
lar to those carried out by Professor
Weber, to give the class an idea of
the increased learning efficiency pro-
duced thru the use of the visual aid
methods.
The use of motion pictures in the
class room has been introduced in the
course. While the visual aid idea is
old. the inauguration of a college
course to scientifically work out the
problems of the use of the method as
an aid to teaching is comparatively
recent, according to Professor Webe-.
When Great Grandma learned
spelling in the early 70's. she little
dreamed that the schoo,masters pic

"NECESSITY" BUDGET
Nell Berger Figures for Needy Cases
Encourage Expenditures.


The 'P. w. G. Budget story as
brought out at a recent hearing be-
fore the industrial court in which Miss
Nell Berger of the Crosby Brothers
company furnished figures showing
that in case of a necessity a girl
could dress on s8755 a year, has
spread to all parts of the United
States. Sunday newspapers coming
to Topeka are full of interviews. pic
lures and expressions concerning the
case.
Miss Berger and Earle c. williams
today issued statements concerning
the budget.
Miss Berger said:
1T is ridiculous to suppose that
meant a working girl was extravagant
if she spent more than SS755 a year
for clothes. simply gave this as the
amount on which a girl could clothe
comfortable and present respectable
appearance
Miss Berger said she did not pre-
sumo to make up budget on which a
working girl could get along. She
merely took a list of articles that had
been taken by the welfare department
of the Industrial court as essential
and gave the prices at which these
articles could be bought today.
Earle c. Williams said:
ITO imagine that we want girl to
clothe herself on $S7.55 a year, or any
other such sum, is absurd. a large
part of our business is with girls who
work and make their own money.
Naturally, the more they make the
more they spend for the things we
have to sell can truthfully say
that if all working girls made only
enough to enable them to spend only
S87 year for clothing we would not
be able to continue in business very
long. I might add that our store has
not reduced wages since the war
period of high prices and that we are
glad to see wages stay up-to see all
classes ofworking people earn all they
can. because that means more bust
ness for us
