Dean of Graduate School Thinks Questions Are Not Vital to Culture
DO NOT GO DEEP ENOUGH
University Professor, However, Thinks Johnson is Right in Deploring Lack of Broad Knowledge.
In discussing the list of twenty questions made out by Owen Johnson, the author of "Stover at Yale," which appeared in the Daily Kansan Wednesday, Dr. F. W. Blackman, professor of biology and Dean of the School Education, said that simply because a college graduate could not answer those questions it did not follow that he was not cultured.
"I realize only too well," he said "that our college student and graduate does not have a broad general knowledge I think Mr. Johnson is on exactly the right track in declaring that general knowledge on diversified topics is not anxiously sought by many students. I have not as yet read his recent book but from the examination of these questions I must say I can't agree that any of them are vital to the well cultured man.
"It itens to me that the questions are not fundamental. Some of them are good and which everyone should know. Some of them seem to me to be simply catch questions. Take the Iceland, Mr. Johnson probably is wise enough to know that few of the students know of politics even in our own country.
"I don't believe that Mr. Johnson delved deep enough into knowledge when he made out his list. He should have gone further beneath the surface. Any high school pupil, it will have to be admitted, knows or should know the difference between anarchism and socialism but there are a great many questions there which some of our most, cultured men need, learned by him."

were not ones which were live subjects

should not be marked up against them.

COLLEGE WOMEN ARE GROWING AMBITIOUS
No Longer Content With Ordinary Professinal Careers They Specialize
The fact that college women are no longer content with familiar professional careers but desire to specialize in distinct and sometimes unique lines, has made it necessary for employers to employ bureaus for their benefit.
The purpose of the bureaus is not only to find employment for these women in the multiplicity of lines that they prefer, but also to protect their interest. The bureaus aim to discover new workers and are paid as much as their work deserves.
It was Miss Susan Kinsberry, president of Simon's College, who found that the average pay received by graduates of her college from one to ten in teaching positions a trifle higher than $500 per annum.
As a result of this statement, a committee on vocational opportunities for college women, was organized three years ago, to make a study of the local conditions in various communities. From this movement the intercollegiate bureaus are being formed. Boston was the first to start an appointment bureau. Philadelphia followed this. A board of directors is in charge of the organizations, consisting entirely of members of the faculties of various women's and co-educational colleges.
Every person applying to any of the intercollegiate bureaus for work must undergo a strict examination before registering. If she be not found qualified for the position that she wants, she cannot register. In effect, the bureau vouches for every one on its lists.
In the three cities where the bureaus are working the number of applicants and the positions procured have exceeded the hopes of the organizers. But the chief surprises resulting from the agencies has been that only a few positions occupied by college women. The numbers run into the hundreds.
The three agencies have found that the greatest demand was for secretarial and clerical work. But even this line is divided into a score of specialities, including secretaries to lishers, schoolers, lishers, scholars, social workers, society women, civil service clerkships and court and law stenographers.
