STATE ENTOMOLOGIST
SAVES HIS OWN FRUIT
Prof. Hunter by Scientific Methods Raises Apples Where Others Fail.
THEY BROUGHT FANCY PRICES
Two Professors in Unacademic Overalls Allm起 Triple Best Yield of Former Orchard Owner.
This is a story of a professor who tried some of his own medicine.
Samuel J. Hunter, professor of entomology at the University, had for sixteen years been trying to convince the farmers of Kansas that a little study applied to their orchard wounds double the堡 from their own. The堡 was his first exhortations that he finally came to believe his own advice.
A little over a year ago he and Prof. A. T. Walker of the Latin department leased a ten-acre orchard near Lawrence. They paid the owner the most he had ever beered able to make from it in a single year, $30 an acre. The professors rented it at old oak plying the laboratory methods Prof Hunter had been teaching all his life.
Doctoring his own trees as a family doctor would look after his patients, picking the apples at just the right time, packing them scientifically, and storing them by text book Prof. Hunter watched his neighbors pick apples in a crop apples at $1.75 per bushel. This was last summer.
Last week the two "theoretica professors" sold their entire stock at the store-rooms for three dollars: a bushel.
And there were quite a few bush-els. The money in hand from the apples, scientifically raised on ter acres that had never before brought in but $300 to the owner, amounted to a little over $800.
And, as Professor Hunter remark:
apologetically, everybody knows that last year was not the best in the world for apples.

BARNARD CO-EDS SING
FOR A NEW BUILDING
The girls of Barnard College, as well as the girls of the University of Kansas, are determined to have a new students' building on the campus.
The Barnard girls, however, had pinned their hopes on securing a friendly millionaire to finance the fund. But it was the tune of "Three Blind Mice."
We want a building,
We want a building,
We want it very much—

Oh, won't some kink millionaire going by
Give us some money to hush up our cry,
To get us a building;

PRAISE EXTENSION
PACKAGE LIBRARY
Information Sought on All Subjects----50 to 75 Packages Sent Out Weekly.
"The material you sent me was great. It enabled me to prepare a fine paper and use material I couldn't possibly have gotten elsewhere." So writes a club woman from Emporia, thanking Prof. R. R. Price of the Extension department, for the assistance she had received through the package library system in use by that department.
Every day Professor Price is receiving numerous letters from all over the state, thanking him for assistance received and asking him for information on law, politics, suffrage, religion, education, economics and history. Many of these letters are from club women or from people who are preparing papers or speeches for public address.
Professor Price showed one package weighing about four pounds ready to be sent out to a lady who had requested material on the subjects of socialism, rural schools and single tax system. This package contained tracts, bound magazine articles from current magazines, and newspaper clippings from metropolitan papers on the subjects.
These packages are sent out to the inquirers by mail or express at the express of the patron no other charges are made but the packages are to be returned at the end of two weeks. From fifty to seventy-five packages are sent out every week by the Extension Department.
The work is open to any student in the University who desires a course in photography that will give a theoretical as well as a practical knowledge of the art. The course is without credit.
In answer to a request from a number of students, Prof. W. A. Griffiths has organized a class in artistic photography which will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:30 o'clock in room 301 in the Administration building. The class will begin next week.
New cameras have been ordered and two dark rooms have been fitted up.

NEW HYGIENE COURSE SO THE OLD CHECK FOR SUMMER SESSION STAND IS NO MORE
Dr. Hyde Plans Work for Teachers in Physiology and Sanitation.
One of the popular new course announced for the Summer Session this year is that of physiology, hygiene and sanitation, under the direction of Professor Hyde. The course is designed for teachers who have physiology, hygiene and sanitation work in the preparatory schools.
The course is another move on the part of the University to assist the state board of health in its effort to teach the people the value of preventive medicine. It also supports the plea of Supt. Fairchild for better instruction in hygienic physiology for the lower schools.
It is a five hour course, and will consist of lectures, recitations, demonstrations, and laboratory experiments; a study of physiological topics as a foundation to hygiene of the school room, home, personal, and industrial children; and investigation of environment upon health and development.
"In the grades and high schools," said Dr. Hyde this morning, "time must be found for proper instruction to safeguard health and morals There has gradually developed with in recent years a world-wide plea for better living conditions, as the first step toward higher efficiency in schools. This is of special importance because of its appplication to human life in its early stages. The aim is to educate the mind without weakening the body.
"Since human vitality depend upon two primary conditions, heredity and hygiene, a knowledge of these laws should be brought within the reach of all by various educational agencies, and especially within reach of all teachers, whether they teach physiology or any other ology The individual must be taught to estimate properly the value of this knowledge in the application of daily life."
MINE
INVESTIGATION
County
University to Learn Causes of Mine Disasters in Crawford Country
Gov. Stubbs telephoned to Professor Haworth from Topeka yesterday asking that he investigate the coal mines in Crawford county. This request comes as a result of an unusually large number of accidents to shot fires in those mines since January 1. Professor Haworth has received a number of letters from unofficial sources asking the same thing. The University will start an investigation at once.
NEW REQUIREMENTS IN
ENGLISH AT DEPAUW
The authorities at DePauw University have decided to do away with three and five hour courses in Freshman English and to give straight four hour courses for all students.
Under the present system two difficulties have been experienced. It has been found that the three hour course is not large enough to do the freshmen the greatest amount of good, while the classes of five hours required more work than the department is able to handle. The four hour medium will consequently be adopted beginning with next year. Correspondingly, the requirement in English work will be reduced from ten to eight hours.

Students, Grown Trustful Stopped Checking Things, but the Name Lingers.
"Candy Sale Friday at 'Check Stand.'"
"Pay your Dues at 'Check Stand'
in Fraser hall."
"Secure your Oread Magazine at
Old Check Stand."
And thus is the space between the telephone booths in Fraser hall brought into prominence. Many and varied are the comments as to why one small table should be called a "check-stand." Well, there's a reason. Though it is not a check stand now, many of the older students in the University remember how glad they once paid over their fifty cents per term to insure the hats, coats and umbrellas.
"The custom originated seven eighteen years ago," said Ed E. Brown, secretary and purchaser of the University. "There used to be a railing across the west alveore there, and some responsible student would secure the check-stamp concession from the University Tickets would be sold among the students for fifty cents a term, enabling them to check their valueable the peckers assume three responsibility for them, as is done at a railway station. At the end of the year the man in charge would have to give the University an account of the money received.
"In 1908 the University itself took a hand in the affair, allowing the manager of the stand to hire responsible students to look after it. But it was hardly a paying proposition and in the fall of 1911 was discontinued. The engineers and others had new quarters, and many of the remaining students did not care to check their belongings."
But the term "Check Stand" is very familiar to all except the newcomers, and will doubtless become one of those traditional names common at all schools.

ARKANSAS STUDENTS STRIKE FOR FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
Eight hundred students of the University of Arkansas went on a strike recently, following the expulsion by the faculty of the thirty-six members of the staff of the X-ray, a student publication. The paper published an anonymous communication charging the faculty with discriminating in favor of rich students. The strike lasted several days and the residents at Fayetteville received instruction insurgents refused to meet a grievance committee appointed by the faculty, but instead on dealing directly with the Board of Trustees.
