Farmers' Sons and Daughters. OCCUPATION OF PARENTS OF STUDENTS.
Too often is it said that higher education, the advantages of the college and university, are for the son and daughter of the rich man; that the poor man must give his small income to support those institutions of higher learning maintained by the state, but his daughter and his son cannot share the educational advantages thus generously offered by the combined efforts of the people. It is maintained that the attendance upon institutions of higher learning is made up exclusively of the sons and daughters of wealthy men, of bankers, of successful professional men, of capitalists, and that the worthy working classes are constrained, by considerations of expense, from taking advantage of opportunities which they would gladly embrace. The following statistics, concerning the occupations of the parents of the students of the University of Kansas, show how unfounded is any such assertion made with reference to this University:
Farmers (including stock raiders,
dairmen, horticulturists, etc.) ... 58 per cent
Banks and capitalists (including
banking firms, merchants, etc.) ... 5 per cent
Professional men (including doctors,
ministers, lawyers, teachers, edi-
tors, civil and mining engineers,
artisans, etc.) ... 21 per cent
Merchants and tradesmen (including
drugstrials, millers, real estate men,
growers, dry goods men, harness
managers, etc.) ... 19 per cent
Artizens (including carpenters,
laborers, blacksmiths, contractors,
jobbers, architects, quarrymen,
sanders, etc.) ... 5 per cent
Miscellaneous (including railroad
agents, commercial travelers, back
district bus drivers, boarding house
keepers, revenue agents, clerks, abstractors,
railroad foremen, county officials,
etc.) ... 12 per cent
The foregoing figures show the percentages of the various classes, based on occupations, as represented by the students of the whole University. If we turn our attention to the various departments of the University, we find the different classes represented as follows: DEPARTMENT OF THE SCIENCES, THE

ART OF THE SCIENCES, THE LITERATURES AND THE ARTS.
LITERATORS AND THE ARTS.
Out of 303 students in this department, 103, or 34 per cent of all, are sons and daughters of farmers; the fathers of 40 are merchants, of 22 are physicians, of 19 are bankers and capitalists, of 12 are real estate men, of 13 are lawyers, of 11 are ministers, of 8 are teachers, of 5 are druggists, and among the remainder, editors, horticulturists, civil engineers, carpenters, etc., etc., are represented.
The schools of Music and Art are not fully organized as departments of the University. An investigation shows that farmers' girls hold their own in point of numbers and quality of work done. Evidently the advantages offered by the University of Kansas are not barred to the sons and daughters of Kansas farmers.
SCHOOL OF LAW.

Out of a total of 42 students, the fathers of 24 are farmers, of 5 are merchants, of 2 are physicians, of 2 are lawyers; the father of 1 is an editor, of 1 a laborer, and of 1 a stock raiser. Thus more than 57 per cent of the law students in the

Glee Club.
Luther sells sweet oranges.
We hope great things from both our glee club and mandolin club.
Last Friday evening the K. S, U. Glee club gave its first concert in Lawrence at the opera house. The parquette was comfortably filled while the balcony was almost bare. The concert which was given deserved a much better house. The boys all show decided improvement in singing. The songs "Spider," "Michael Roy,""The Crow Song," "Solomon Levy,""Old Kentucky," and "Hash, a Medley," were especially well rendered and showed much hard work both on the part of the club and Professor Penny. The K. S, U. Mandolin club furnished the music and were encored every time they gave a selection.
AMUSEMENTS.
See those gilt Music Folios at Bell's. They make elegant Christmas presents.
Referring to the "Fireman's Ward," which will be presented at the opera house next Monday evening, the Des Moines Leader says:— "Miss Ollie Redpath in the 'Fireman's Ward' last night at the Grand opera house drew well, considering the weather. It is one of the strongest plays seen here this season, and abounds in excellent climaxes and strong human interests. It may be called a great play by a great company. Miss Redpath the star, was something grand and her singing and dancing captured the audience. The fire scene was very realistic, the support good and the comedy element is most laughable and the specialities and singing good, and modest and neat." Seats on sale Friday morning.

The Lawrence Business College.
for more than twenty two years the Lawrence Business College has continued its existence without a break. During this time more than 5,000 students have been in attendance, and of these over 500 have completed some prescribed course of study. Thess graduates are nearly all occupying good situations or have launched out in business for themselves, and all of them are doing well financially.
The different departments in this institution are as follows: Business, shorthand and typewriting, English, penmanship and academic or preparatory to the University. In addition to this, pupils in any department may join the military department, band orchestra, college chorus or college congress without extra cost.
The young man of today who starts out to win his way in the world, should be able to write a plain, legible, business hand, keep a set of books, understand his legal rights and obligations in the business world, be skilled in all sorts of commercial calculations, be able to compose a good business letter and be able to operate the typewriter.
Business men are in search of skilled help. Life is too short for them to take young men into their office and train them. You are now expected to prepare yourself by special preparation at some good business school.
The Lawrence Business College gives you this special training as cheaply and as thoroughly as any school in the country. There is no need of your going east to get a commercial education. Lawrence offers sufficient inducements to all who desire such an education. Here in the Athens of the West, in the educational centre of the state, is a commercial school, thoroughly equipped in every respect. Provided with the best and most competent faculty the institution has ever known; with well appointed class rooms, study rooms, well lighted, ventilated and heated by steam. A fine library in the building, accessible to all students. School located close to depots and postoffice, and in the center of the business part of the city.
Before deciding to attend any other school send for a catalogue of this institution.
Handsome People.
The third lecture of the Y. M. C.
A. lecture course delivered by L.
F. Copeland Thursday evening, was
listened to with great interest by a
large audience. Mr. Copeland is a favorite with Lawrence people and his lectures are always well received. His subject "Handsome People," was exceptionally well handled. The vein of humor which pervades Col. Copeland's lectures is highly enjoyable, and prevents any possible sense of weariness among his hearers. The next lecture in this course will be given by Robert T. Burdette in the opera house, January 13. Burdette is so well known as to need no recommendation. Suffice it to say that all who wish to hear the most popular humorous lecturer now upon the American platform should hear Burdette.
