"IDEAS OF IDEAL QUIZ" BY FACULTY
Some Prefer Written, Others Oral and Some Are
Silent
We have ideals in all phases of life and even in quizzes the heads of departments have their ideal.
"I guess," said Dean Templin, "the ideal quiz is the kind Saint Peter is going to give us when we get to the gate. But," he continued, "I hope Saint Peter will give me a pad of paper and plenty of time."
While Dean Templin wants a written quiz for himself he went on to say that he thought the average between the two methods, written and oral, to be the best system of quizzing.
Professor Stevens laughed, "No," he said, "I want mine oral. The best way it seems to me is the system they use in Germany, where the final examination is practically a debate between the student and the professor."
Dean Blackmar seems to think the ideal impossible of attainment for with a smile and a shrug he said, "I've nothing at all to say."
In an address delivered before the Chicago English Club at a luncheon in the Auditorium Hotel last week Dr. S. H. Clark, dean of oratory at the University of Chicago, decried the fact that people were more interested in baseball than in poetry, and blamed this for the seeming lack of appreciation of the beautiful in life.
THINKS BASEBALL FEVER
DESTROYS POETIC FIRE
Professor Clark also ridiculed the modern interpretation placed upon the works of Shakespeare by the dramatists of today.
"The real beauty that underlies every line of Shakespeare becomes lost when uttered on the stage. Much of the meaning is lost beneath the heavy pall of scenery and the dramatists' efforts to emphasize words and phrases that need no emphasis."
The detestation for hot stuff reckitt rooms seems to be in the air. It began with Professor Carruth and now is has attacked Prof. R. L. Moodie. With his entire division of zoology III he adjourned to the pines north of Administration building one day this week, far away from the disagreeable odor of Snow hall.
PROFESSOR MOODIE HOLDS
CLASS AMONG THE PINES
PROMINENT PROFESSOR
8157 Among , the prominent outside teachers, that the University of Kansas has secured for the summer session, Professor Frank Justus Miller, Professor of Latin in the University of Chicago is especially worthy of mention. Professor Miller has a national reputation as a Latin teacher and educator. He is the author of the text in Virgil now used in Kansas, and Managing Editor of the Classical Journal. Professor Miller translated the plays of Seneca, and made two dramatizations from Virgil, The Fall of Troy, and The Tragedy of Dido. Professor Miller taught very successfully in the summer school two years ago.

JAYHAWKER CUTS
PLACED ON FILE
11 Present Plans Are Carried Out, University Will Purchase Campus Scenes
If Present Plans Are Carried
The cuts that appeared in the Jayhawker this year probably will be placed on a permanent file at the University, if plans that are being discussed by the business manager of the annual and the University authorities are carried out. The University will purchase those cuts showing scenes about the campus and the pictures of the University buildings, and it is expected that all the pictures of the organizations and the seniors will be left to be filed on University's permanent file of seniors and graduates.
Announcement was made by the business manager before the annual was published that the senior cuts would be returned to the owners, and an effort will be made on the part of the University to obtain these pictures. They would be kept here for use by the Daily Kansan with a promise to mail them to any individual who would want to use his cut at any time.
HICAGO WOMEN THINK
THEY ARE MISTREATED
Women students at the University of Chicago believe they are discriminated against by the institution. They believe that male students get most of the necessities and all the luxuries, while women content themselves with what is left.
These complaints are voiced in a report of the gymnasium committee which is published in the current number, which is published in the current magazine, the University of Chicago Magazine.
The report concludes by an appeal to a generous man or woman to come forward with sufficient funds to remedy these conditions.
The University of Kansas can lay sod for one cent a square foot, where the grading is already done, said John W. Bickel, of Buildings and Grounds yesterday.
the gymnasium floor is under water every time it rains or thaws; that there are but seven shower baths for the entire women student body, and that these usually are out of order; that the dormitories are inadequate and the classrooms are too small to disgrace any humane corporation employing an equal number of women.
GRASS GROWN DIRT AT
1 CENT A SQUARE FOOT
The price of sod alone is ordinarily more that this but we use our own sod and have a special cutting machine with most of the labor of cutting sod.
By cutting the sod in the fall, there will be no bare spot because the roots are left in the ground will grow up again in the spring.
The sod in front of the Administration Building has cost about one cent and a half on account of the grading that had to be done.
Frank F. Rupert, an instructor in Chemistry, left this week for Boston, Mass., where he will take an examination at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for the Ph.D. degree. After receiving his degree he will take a government position as assistant chemist in the Bureau of Agriculture.

Miss Addams Tells Result From the Girls' Sewing
School
At Hull House last week Miss Jane Addams described a new department of the settlement house work from which good results are being obtained. This is the trade school for young girls, who are being instructed in sewing.
"Before this school was instituted," said Miss Addams, "it was customary among the foreign families that make up the bulk of the population in the neighborhood of Hull House to put their daughters to work as soon as they can graduate." He found employment in sweat shops as helpers, beginning at $1 a week
"We saw a great need of training for these girls and a trade school course in dressmaking was inaugurated. The course covered three months and the first class numbered fifteen girls. When we were so well equipped for work with dressmakers that they were enabled to start at from $4 to $5 a week."
VENTILATORS RUSTING AWAY
Large Funnel Shaped Apparatus on
Roof of Fraser Are Worn Out.
Coming up the hill, or in walking about the campus, one has no doubt ootied the large funnel-shaped ventilators on the roof of Fraser Hall. They are always turned away from the wind and so when the wind blows past these ventilators, it creates a vacuum in the enclosed part. By means of this accum the foul air is drawn from the building.
Having withstood the winds and storms many years, these ventilators are gradually rusting away, and falling apart. One already has been blown off. New ventilators will soon take the place of the old ones, still insuring good ventilation.
Three high school students of Chicago, have been expelled for belonging to a secret society.
