Call of School.

This week marks the closing Of
activities on city Fairgrounds, and

of play and fun now are quiet and
calm. Men with trucks are taking
away the slides and swings, and the
gleeful shouts of children are no
longer heard. The f1fty-f1ve city
Fairgrounds soon will be reduced to
barren patches of ground to await
the opening of the next recreation
season.

Park Custodian Declares
Work Is Success Secret
Julius Kitzing on Job for
rs Years; Content With
His Reward.

Thousands of visitors to Riverside
park know Julius Hitting, smiling
custodian, who has worked at the
park for twenty-siX years.
Under his care are HOO acres, on
which are ten horseshoe courts and
as many baseball diamonds.
The glamor of easy money and
soft jobs never has appealed to Kit
zing, for although the position he
holds is one of hard work, he has
stuck to it. For him success is do
mig what you enjoy as we'll as you
can"
He sat on park bench resting
and told his life story. In his eye
was the CLEAN of contentment. The
expression on his face told that he
was pleased with his job and happy
for the friends it had brought to
him.
His philosophy of living is, that
the road to success and more money
lies in hard work, which for him
has been a long, slow road.
1.-THE pay check can indicate only
so much money. What it can not
show is the reward of friendships
and joys that go with every job"
he said.
Kitzing started working for the
city in 1895, and his first job was to
shovel muck out Of the lake where
Garfield park is located. Tom Tag
CART was mayor in 1898, when he be-
came custodian and Riverside park
was a truck garden with wheat and
corn fields.
eff I were giving advice to young
men," Hitting says, 1T would be-:
When you pick job, look at the
size of the man above you and not
at the size of the pay check. If he
is doing something you would like
to do, take off your coat and wade
in and Won will move inward ,"

tiers. A few hours Of tumbling, roll
ing, somersaulting and other exer-
cises daily will cut off pounds in
p surprising short time, directors
say.
Glasses held at Brookside, Rhodius,
and Municipal gardens have proven
very popular. AS many as seventy
seven reducing enthusiasts have
taken advantage Of the exercises in
one day.
During the summer months,
swimming was suggested as the best
means Of getting rid of surplus
weight, and city pools and beaches
were frequented by many.
Volleyball, the favorite reducing
medium for men, also is used by
many as means of regaining
health and muscle. Bruce Hunter
superviseS the evening classes in
volleyball for men.
Miss Lola Pfeifer and Mrs. Norma

TESTS SHOW MENTAL
DISPARITY IN AGES
69.2 Per Cent Among 1898 Found to
Be Above Average.

Be Above Average.
Results of a recent survey of the
intelligence Of children, who en-
tered school at the second semes-
ter, 1923, in Indianapolis, show many
interesting facts regarding the chro-
biological and mental ages Of the
pupils, according to Byron K. Will
liams, city schools research direc-
tor.
In a survey of 1893 children 8
years Of age and over, results show
that 69.2 per cent were above the
average mental age. Only 81 per
cent were at the normal mental age
at the time of entering school.
These figures indicate there are
wide differences in the chronological
ages and mental ages of children
Just how to deal with these chill
dren of different mental ages is one
of the big problems confronting
educators today, according to Will
liams. w.
