SCHOOL is PLAY
Elementary Vacation School at
EmpOria in New Stunt.
First to Eighth Grade Students
Find a Good Time.

Emporia, Kan, June s-The ele-
mentary vacation school which
mingles outdoor hikes and trips to
interesting places in and about town,
is being conducted again this sum-
mer in the Kansas state Normal

ago by its founder, Miss Jennie Will
liams, who now is in similar work in
California.
The school comprises grades from
first to eighth, inclusive, each class
being limited to twenty pupils. The
main idea brought out in the vacation
school is to acquaint the child with
community activities.
The first, second and third grades
will work out projects pertaining to
the pupils home, school and COM
munity life. In the primary grades
the projects must necessarily be used
velop skill in reading, numbers, etc.
They will help to intercept some of
the industries and occupations of the
people in the community.
Free choice of activities will be en-
phasized in the primary grades.
Grades four to eight, inclusive, will
have as the characteristic feature of
their work developing of knowledge
and appreciation of the community.
Two forenoons of the week the SUI
will make excursions in Emporia and
vicinity to make observations and
gather information which will be
studied and interpreted during the
other forenoons of the week. Convey
ances will be furnished for the longer
trips. The pupils will use the various
subjects of the curriculum. such as
arithmetic. English, history, spelling,
etc, as instruments with which to in
terpret the observations and materials
GA IN he ia1d
trips.
Except on field trip days, the chill
dren will have either vocal or instru-
mental music, industrial arts and su-
pervised play. After returning from
field trips each child will be permit
ted to take a shower bath or swim
in the gymnasium.
The observations and studies of the
pupils will be directed in part along
the lines of vegetable gardening. land
scape gardening. city Identification.
sanitation, hygiene, pioneer history
and landmarks. civic, industries, and
occupations The spirit of the~vaca-
ton school will be that of enjoyable
study and wholesome recreation.

GOOD GROWING WEATHER
Wheat Is Practically Headed Out
in Eastern Two-Thirls of State
Oats and Barley Crops Good.
tBy s. D. Flora, MeteOrOlogist)

Splendid crop growing weather pre-
vailed in Kansas during the week just
closed, according to the reports of
100 correspondents of the weather
bureau. The western half received
rains that totaled from half an inch
to almost two inches while the east
ern third. which had been getting a
surplus OF moisture, had only a few
showers as a rule which gave 1t a
chance to dry out. Temperatures
averaged considerably below normal,
but were high enough to favor crop
growth.
Wheat is practically all in head in
the eastern tWo-thirdS of the state and
beginning to head in the extreme west
ern counties. with harvest less than
two weeks off in the southeast coun-
ties 1t is generally reported in good
condition, except in the western third,
where much of it is small and very
weedy. There is considerable COM
plant of rust in the extreme eastern
counties and in low grounds in that
section the crop is beginning to lodge.
but the latter trouble is not expected
to be serious unless heavy rains fall
between now and harvest. Damage
by fly has been very small, but chinch
bugs are injuring the crop in the south
central part of the state.
oats and barley are mostly good.
Oats are heading to the Nebraska line.
Barley is heading in the southwest
counties and is 9 inches high in
Thomas county, Green bugs are dam
aging oats in the southeast part of
the state and chinch bugs are working
on it in the south central part.
Corn is up to good stands, except in
the southeast counties, where there
will be more replanting than usual. In
the eastern two-thirds of the state
corn has been cultivated once and in
some places twice Grain sorghums
are mostly planted and coming up
we'll
The first cutting of alfalfa has been
finished in the southeast and south
central counties and is under way else
where. The south-central counties re-
port about SO per cent of the crop
was damaged by rain. Elsewhere this
damage was comparatively light.
Potatoes, especially the commercial
crop in the Kaw valley. are in good
condition and well set on. Strawberry
picking is about at an end. while
cherry picking is just beginning.
