We need to know the teachers in the Kansas high schools much better than we do, As a matter of fact, with the exception of a few departments, we are not acquainted with the high school teachers even in our own fields. Surely a wider personal acquaintance with high school teachers is likely to result in more favorable publicity for the University and in more definite recommendations to students to come to the University. Membership cards may be obtained in the College Office and in the Office of the School of Education, Annual membership fee, $2. ABOUT REPORTING ABSENCES Whether we like it or not, parents expect us to Keep some track of the class attendance of our students and demand that we report to them cases of continued absence, Will you, therefore, please report to this office promptly by means of the "deficiency cards" all cases of absence in which the student has been absent more times than the number of credit hours allowed in the course, And will you please be particularly careful to report all cases of consecutive absence for over a week, unless you are sure the absence is caused by illness.., Prompt reports will help prevent student failures, for students who drop courses without the dean's consent are assessed failures in accordance with the rules of the Faculty.
