UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY, AFTERNOO FEBRUARY 19, 1912.
NUMBER 22.
SOME RECENT EVENTS IN BLACK AND WHITE
KANSAS IS FOREMOST IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Has More College Students Per Capita Than Any Other State
IS THE WEST MORE POLISHED?
Missouri and Pennsylvania Vie For
Honors at the Foot of
The List.
Where is the real home of the college student? Scholastic Massachusetts? Literary Indiana? Wealthy New York? Come again. Give it up? Well, it's right here in Kansas. This state has more colleges and universities students enrolled, per capita than any other.
We have also more colleges of ove. 2000 enrollment forour population than any commonwealth. We have three of these big schools, the state University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal. If the State Normal, the Agricultural College and the University were all included in one school as the case with most of the large western-state universities, the University of Kansas would be the largest educational institution in the United States, with an enrollment of over 7000.
The state of Kansas sends one of its young people to college for every 112 of its inhabitants. This figure is unapproached anywhere in the east. Only western states, Nebraska with one in 135 and Oregon with one in 150, are at all comparably favorable to university education. Indiana is the besteducated eastern state, with one college student out of 163.
Missouri has fewer university students for its population than any other commonwealth, only one in 381. Pennsylvania is the next contestant for this doubtful honor, having one university student for every 308 inhabitants.

FAVORS ELECTRIC SEWAGE DISPOSAL
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Professor Hoad May Introduce Oklahoma City Plan into Kansas.
DANGER DOWN TO MINIMUM
After Investigation of Electrolytic Method, He Wishes to Use it in Kansas River Valleys.
Prof. W. C. Hoad, of the School of Engineering, returned this morning from Oklahoma City, where he has been making a thorough investigation of that city's electrolytic sewage disposal process. The electric sewage plant at Oklahoma City is the only one of its kind in operation in this part of the country.
Professor Hoad's visit was in view of studying the plant and to en-
burge its adoption in this state.
"The matter of protecting water supplies is one of the biggest problems we have before us," said Professor Hoad. "The value of treating sewage by electricity lies in the fact that by killing all the disease germs in sewage, it reduces to a minimum the danger to water supplies farther down the stream.
"There are a number of places in Kansas where such plants could profitably be installed, and the chances seem very favorable that two or three plants will be built within a short time.
ESTA BASTANTE FRIA
EL AGUA? SI SENOR
"The condition of the Neosho, the Verdigris, the Walnut and Marais des Cygnes rivers is the worst in this state. Sewage is discharged into these streams without any adequate purification. A careful study of the towns lying in these river valleys has been made and the real conditions are known to be very bad."
The process as applied at Oklahoma city passes a heavy current at a low voltage through the sewage. The electricity decomposes the water in the sewage to the two gases hydrogen and oxygen
GOULD TELLS HOW IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Mr. M. P. Gould, president of the M. P. Gould Advertising Company, addressed the classes in Advertising, Economics, and Pharmacy Friday afternoon at 4:30 on the subject, "Advertising, an Expense or an Investment, Which?" Mr. Gould showed by statistics that the amount spent annually for advertising is sufficient to fill seventy five super-dreadnoughts the size of the Delaware, about seven times as much as our annual pension appropriation.

"Retailer's advertising," said Mr. Gould, "becomes an investment in seven different ways; it increases the efficiency of the clerks, it helps to keep them busy a greater part of their working day, it increases the general knowledge of the store among the public at large, it makes the store better known by customers, and it outputs, thereby enabling him to buy more and at better terms, and, by making the store well known, it brings to him, much of the indirect trade."
Unexpected Shower Bath in Spanish Play Causes
Anger.
ANNOUNCE THE CAST TODAY
"Zaragueta" Which Will be Present.
Sabeis que quiere decir "la ducha?" Well, el senor Zaraguaeta finds out what "la ducha" is. It isn't meant for him but the dear old lady doctor is determined to administer one, no matter what the difficulties.
The Spanish play "Zaragueta," to be given by the Spanish students in Robinson gymnasium on April 27, abounds with humorous situations. The action is of the present day and takes place in the house of a wealthy farmer, Don Indalecio. There are no hissing, revengeful "carambas," in Zaragueta. For most part every one is in a good humor. Zaragueta becomes peevish at times, while the rest of the characters do a lot of worrying, and that is where the fun comes in.
Touches Uncle For Money
The plot of the comedy rests upon the fact that Carlos, a student in Madrid, owes money to Zaragueta and is unable to pay it. Carlos writes to his uncle, Don Indalecio, saying that he is very ill and must go to Paris for an operation. He intends to use the funds to pay Zaragueta, and when he arrives at his uncle's house, he confesses his straits to his cousin, Maruja, who agrees to help him.
Carlos has hardly arrived when Zaragueta turns up. Murauja understands who he is and despairs of Carlos' trick being successful until she learns that Zaraguetta is very deaf; she uses this defect to advance himself in life as the door who had been attending Carlos in Madrid.
Carlos and Zarajueta meet, and Carlos threatens the money lender with a shot gun. The servants, thinking Carlos is crazy shut him up in the wood shed. Maruja lets him out, and a little later when Zarajueta tells him that Carlos treats into the wood shed and Carlos turns the key on the outside.
Dr. Saturo is called in and, when told that Carlos is crazy he recommends a shower bath to bring him to his senses. The garden hose is used to throw the water through the transom of the woodshed where Carlos is supposed to be and Zaraguela gets a good wetting. He comes out bristling with rage and shaking with cold to demand his money He. is paid and goes away. The audience is given to understand how events will go in the future between Carlos and Marujia, and there the comedy ends.

TOLD OF HIS FRIEND "JIMMY" WHISTLER
E. H. Wuerpel Related Anecdotes of the Great Poet and Etcher.
The talk on personal reminiscences of Whistler, given in the chapel Friday afternoon by Edmund H. Wuerpel, director of the St. Louis Art Institute was heard by a large and appreciative audience. The address was an account of incidents and episodes portraying the artist and man "Jimmy Whistler, the great American master of painting and etching.
Mr. Wuerpel became an intimate friend and companion of Whisker's while studing the new masters at the Luxembourg in Paris.
Whistler, the Man.
On the occasion of Mr. Wuerpel's first visit to Whistler he was so completely charmed with the artist's personality that he quite forgot his errand. After seeing the six blocks homeward he recalled the occasion of his visit and the art exhibit.
"Whister had a simple, childish nature," said Mr. Wuerpel. "He saw everything from a youthful point of view. We were like two boys together.
"Whistler loved his friends and liked to have them about him, but he despised those who came to see him out of idle curiosity."
Whistler, The Artist.
Mr. Wuerpel explained that the charm of Whistler's paintings lies in their unusual harmony of color, which gives them a subtle dreamy effect, and in their simplicity of style. Whistler was a master of detail even in the place where his paintings are displayed which marks every production of his. The placing of the butterfly often forms a point of interest in his paintings as is shown in his "Gray and Silver," now being shown at the art exhibit in the Administration building.

THEY CAUGHT THE TRAIN ON THE RUN
Two Gleemen Overslept And Were Almost Left Behind.
RHODES AND DODGE CULPRITS
When Cab Drove Alongside, Rhodes Boarded and Left Dodge to Struggle With Trunks.
The departure of the glee club, which had promised to be a very quiet affair, turned into one of turmoil in which the hearts of the fourteen men—and two in particular—were forced into excessive action.
The special car for the University singers had been attached to the end of the Ottawa train and the conductor was holding his watch to start or time, at 9:50 a.m., when Manager Kates counted his men and found that two were missing. Immediately two students who had planned to the club off, volunteered to fill the places, but it was decided to hold the train a few minutes.
The Ottawa branch prides itself on "running on time," and after waiting impatiently for five minutes, the conductor gave the signal and the train started slowly.
The twelve men had placed their suitcases and trunks in the pullman and were standing on the platform waiting for the two late members, when a cab was seen approaching at a rapid rate two blocks away. One of the occupants saw the train start and he leaned far out the window and waved his hat to stop it The engineer continued to increase the speed.
The cab-driver pulled his panting horses up by the side of the track and Ed Rhodes and Clyde Dodge jumped out. Rhodes, who is an engineer saw the impossibility of outrunning a locomotive and made for the rear car of the train. Dodge grabbed his steamer trunk and with the assistance of a couple of students boarded the car as it was leaving the end of the platform.
Everyone was aboard, and they shouted a farewell to Lawrence and the University. Dodge threw a silver dollar to the excited cabman. The first concert will be given in Chanute, Kansas tonight.
