SHOULD DISCOVER GENIUS


Dodge City, June 14.-"One of
the primary aims Of the school sys-
tenn, in addition to developing the
mental faculties and physical Prov
ess Of the student, is to give oppor-
tunity for the expression and devel-
opment Of the. budding geniuses that
are found in almost every school, !"
R. 70. Long, superintendent Of Dodge
City schools, is authority for this
statement. Superintendent Long de-
clares that the present school offi-
cials have in a large degree failed to
realize this fact and have neglected
to give students the opportunity
they should have.
MANY genius has lived just the
ordinary life, not recognizing his own
powers because his innate ability
has never been developed" said Su-
Long. 'In addition to
the ordinary routine of school work
and supervision in our schools, an
effort should be made to draw out
and develop the talents that lie lat
ent in every student body"

"Chief Smoky"

Rising with startling suddenness out of the
vast expanses of our own Western Kansas
prairies is wonderful and beautiful natural
formation of rocks, locally known as "The
Pyramids" Like sentinel on guard, old
"Chief Smoky" stands apart from other silent
giants, seemingly ready to warn of approach
ing danger.
If one leaves the main road between Oakley
and Scott City, and follows the left bank of
the Smoky Hill River down for a few miles,
he will suddenly be confronted with most
unexpected sight; as he tops low hill and
starts down its eastern slope, what appears to
be group of immense castles of grey stone
seems to leap out of the prairies before him.
AS he approaches them, their immensity star
ties him.
We were tempted, at first, to call the old
chief "Old Man Sphinx" on account of his like
ness to the Egyptian wonder. He has the
same solemnity of pose and expression, and
all the brooding silences of the centuries are
also his But our geologist friend, DR.. Mera.
of Abilene, tells us that this old fellow is some
half million years of age.
So long before the Sphinx or the Indian,
both of which "Old Smoky seems to resemble,
were ever dreamed of, this old sentinel who is
shown on our cover this month, stood guard
over his flock and gazed across the beautiful
Smoky Hill Valley of our own Kansas and our
own United territory
And our wish is: That in all the glory of his
seventy foot height
Long May He Standp
