Prof. E. M. Hopkins, president of the Kansas Association of English Teachers, is sending out a circular letter to teachers and supervisors of teaching requesting topics and speakers for the fall meeting.
T
The program for the English Round Table of the State Teachers Association provides for two sessions on the opening day of the convention, November 7; for secondary schools in the morning and for elementary schools in the afternoon. This is a decided departure from the practice of previous years, intended to secure, if not a more prompt attendance of teachers at the beginning of the convention, a better opportunity to do business, since there will be no occasion for anybody to hurry away to take a train. Because of increasing interest in elementary school problems, the afternoon meeting is intended to have especial importance, affording elementary teachers full time to arrive, and utilizing what is almost the only opportunity for a general gathering of all the elementary teachers of the state.
A general outline of the proposed program for each session is as follows:
MONNING SESSION; SECONDARY TOPICS Interrelations of schools and subjects; general principles.
Difficulties of high school English teaching; experience meeting. Problems of co-ordination and affiliation.
Criticisms of English teaching of primary schools; causes, aid to be offered by other schools.
General query box. Appointment of committees to report in afternoon.
EVENING SESSION; ELEMENTARY TOPICS
What aid, if any, can other schools give to primary English teachers?
Difficulties in the grade teaching of English; the case for each grade presented separately.
General query box. Business meeting; reports of committees, election of officers, outline of proposed year's work for the Association.
Apart from a possible address by a visiting speaker, it is proposed that all discussion be informal, but that within the limits of the preceding general outline special topics be suggested, with names of teachers and others best qualified to discuss them; and that from these the final program be made up. Among topics already suggested are the following: Untrained English teachers in high schools; lack of time and system in grade teaching; unwillingness for teachers to teach with grade teachers; departmental teaching in the grades; oral training in grades; sentence-making versus composition; mistakes in correlation of subjects; standards in marking themes. In the afternoon it is planned that each grade shall have its own preferred topic presented by its own special representative.

BIRD EXPLORERS GREETED COLUMBUS
The Warbler Family Yearly Migrates Great Distances In Spring and Fall
A great procession is crossing the campus daily. It is made up of such a wonderful company that if it were to pass emmars, with colors flying, once a year down Oread avenue, people from all parts of the world would come to Lawrence to see it. The costumes of the paraders puts the gay apparel of the Kirmess dancers to shame, and the music that each member of the company contributes, makes the memory of the Music Festival pale. This band is spoken of by the University ornithologists as the Minoitididae, while most of the students call it by the delightfully suggestive name of the warblers.
The museum scientists claim that these are the most interesting of all the birds. They are strictly an American bird, consisting of some thirty genera with about two-hundred species that range from Argentina to Labrador and Northern Alaska. As a class they are insectivorous and are therefore migratory.
It is these migrations in the spring and fall that have been food for the dreamer and a lure to the scientist. The farther north the birds nest, the further south they travel to spend their winters. These journeys are usually made in the night, thirty-five miles being the average distance of a night's journey.
But the University authorities on this subject say that some species have been known to travel as much as two hundred miles in a night when nearing their nesting ground, and when crossing the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of five-hundred miles, the distance from their nesting ground is surely no speed limit in the bird-world, or if there is they certainly disregard it.

The warblers are seldom seen except by close nature students because they keep close to the tops of the trees in the daytime and migrate by night. On a warm spring or fall night a student who has his ears accustomed to sounding on the top of Mt. Oread, and hear high overhead the faint call notes of the migrating flocks.
Doubtless the small, brightly colored singing birds, that the old Spanish records say cheered the heart of Columbus as he gave courage to his sailors as they neared the unseen land of America, were members of the family of warblers.

RADCLIFFE GIRLS STILL
THREATEN TO WEAR CURLS
Ban on Barettes Displeases Them- Seven Rules Formulated by Dean of Radcliffe College
The Radcliffe College commencement exercises in June will resemble a kindergarten gathering if the college girls adhere to their resolution to receive their degrees with their hair hanging down their backs in braids or curls. This peculiar state of affairs has been existing since the posting of seven new rules for the costing of the graduates at the exercises next June. They were formulated by Dean Mary Coes, and are as follows:
First—Stiff white waist, with long sleeves; high linen collars, white bow tie. Second—White linen skirts, three
inches from the ground, and no buttons in front.
Third—The gown is to be one inch above the bottom of the skirt.
Fourth—White belts, with no buckles.
Fifth—Plain black oxfords and black stockings.
The girls, while dissatisfied with most of the regulations, have presented only one formal protest to the dean, and that is against the "barette" mandate. Miss Coes, however, refuses to annul the offending rule, and the girls say they will appear with their hair hanging down their backs.
Seventh—No jewelry of any kind.
Sixth—barrettes and no combs to
be used.
Miss Katharine Ashbrook and Miss Marion Murphy spent Saturday and Sunday with Geneva Wiley, a senior in the College.
