What The Children Are Study
ing and Those of High
Standing
| C SCHOOL NEWS

Most of the pupils passed a sue
mid-year examination. Less
than one-sixth failed in any subjects.
There would be less to fail if parents
would insist ON home study. No
pupil can do well without home steady.
A pupil does good when he gets above
ninety in all subjects. If the parent
will cooperate with the teacher it is
his duty to examine the reports sent
home every month. See that those
subjects, in which the pupil gets less
than seventy or eighty, are studied
faithfully every night at home at least
four nights a week.
No pupil should study two or three
hours continuously. Let him take a
five minute recess about every half
hour, get fresh air, then return to his
study with a quickened mentality.
Thus he can remember the lesson very
much better and with less effort. For
the sake of their future success in
life, we firmly believe every boy and
girl should study their lessons at home
and give close attention to the subject
when reched or discussed in class. If
this article will cause more home
study and closer attention to work
in class, and the cooperation of pa
rents to that effect, we shall feel am
ply repaid ine every way.

TEACHERS MEET OCT. 10 TO Il
Holiday For Kansas Students Week
After Next

There will be no school in Kansas
public schools Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, October 10 to 21, for
those are the dates selected for the
59th annual convention Of the Kan
sas State Teachers Association.
Simultaneous meetings are to be
held in four cities on those days
and it is expected that there will be,
in round numbers about 10000
teachers in attendance in the differ
ent sections of the state. Hutchin-
son, Hays, Httsburg and Topeka are
the cities in which the convention
will be held, the teachers attending
in the city to which their district be-
longs.
Previous attendance records will
probably be broken this year, 1t Is
said, for the programs are unusually
strong and well balanced and there
is much interest among the teachers
in the report Of the Kansas School
Code Commission, which is to be
featured at each Of the four meet
mgs. Population considered, there
are more teachers in Kansas who
are members of the association than
In any other state In the Union.

BENEFIT TO TAXPAYERS
State Levy in Kansas Is Reduced
This Year

Kansas taxpayers are benentting
both ways this next year on state
taxes. The levy was reduced from
1926 mills to, 1856 mills, nearly 2S
per cent. The valuation Of property
for taxation, as equalized by the
commission. was reduced more than
$3.50, 100000. ..<+
As a result, the taxpayers will
pay $2,580,452 less into the state
treasury for state taxes for the tax
year 1922 than last year-$5,SOO,- :
452 this year, against $S,4S1, ,43s

But that isn't all the story. A de-
tailed statement issued yesterday
from the offices Of the tax commits
sion, shows that every county in the
state benfiets by the decrease In tax
alton. There isn't one Of the 1O5
counties but will pay less state tax
for 1922 than for 1921, the average
reduction being more than one-third.

routine of opening her school. Then
she reads or otherwise occupies her
time, until noon, when she dismiSses
school and goes to dinner. In the
afternoon she goes through the same
