THE NEW LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL
We take pleasure in presenting a cut of the new Lawrence High School building in this issue of the COURIER. The University has received so many of the graduates of this school within its walls that a special interest is being taken in everything concerning its welfare. Prof. E. Miller was the first principal and at that time, 1871, there were but six scholars, now there are nearly three hundred. The building in on the southeast corner of Warren and Kentucky streets and is 113 ft long by 87 feet wide. It is built of pressed brick faced, with cottonwood stone, and contains a chapel, library, conservatory, dressing rooms, two large halls and ten large recitation rooms. The rooms contain 480 single desks. The tower is about 130 feet high and contains the old historic bell and clock which used to hang in the tower of the Unitarian church.
Prof. A. J. May is the present principal of the school and the work done is thorough. The High School fits students for the Freshman class in nearly all the courses. A large number of students from outside the county are being fitted here for the University, and the number so doing will probably be increased from year to year, especially when the preparatory department is entirely done away with.
SEMINARY MEETING.
THE DEEP HARBOR QUESTION
Judge J. S. Emery read an able paper last Friday afternoon before a special meeting of the Seminary of Historical and Political Science on the subject of the Deep Harbor question. Judge Emery is a member of the national committee appointed last fall at the Topeka convention, and has made a special study of this subject. The speaker reviewed the commercial affairs of this part of the Mississippi valley, proving by statistics that the home market is insufficient and a foreign market necessary to the greater prosperity of the country. If the products of Kansas could be shipped by way of the Gulf of Mexico to the markets of the world, a distance of 1,000 miles of land transportation would be saved and as land transportation costs six times as much as by water this is an important saving. By connecting San Diego with the nearest accessible harbor on the Texas coast by a railroad 1,200 miles in length, California would have direct connection with the Atlantic.
Six of the largest railroads are in favor of the Deep Harbor plan, its principle opposition now being in the great cities of the east.
Judge Emery closed with a description of the jetty system now being tried on the Gulf Although direct results at present may not be as great as expected there can be little doubt that trade will begin to drift toward the south before many years.
Hon. F. H. Betton.of Topeka state labor commissioner, will read
a paper on "Wages and Wage Earners," at the meeting of the Seminary at 4 this afternoon. A discussion will follow the reading of the paper.

Last Friday a challenge was issued by representatives of the Sophomore class to the Junior class to play a game of ball; the challenge was accepted and the time set for that afternoon. The two classes met and formed a ball nine out of material that had never covered itself with glory on the diamond. The game started with Allen in the box and Sawtell behind the bat for the Juniors, and Challiss in the box and Sherman behind the bat for the Sophomores. The game progressed as all such scrub games generally do with a big score and more errors. Sawtell was retired in the second inning and Crawford substituted. The Sophomores got a lead and easily kept it to the end of the game. There was only one assist and put out in the field on the Sophomore side. Sherman was a new man behind the bat, but he acquitted himself in good style. At the end of the fifth inning the Juniors thought they had enough and threw up the sponge.
The French section of the Modern Language club had a very interesting meeting in its hall last Friday afternoon. The program consisted of a story by Prof. Canfield, essay

A large number Indians from Haskell saw the foot ball game last Saturday. They will probably soon have an eleven. Then let the K.S. U. men beware. They may run against a stump or an Indian which is much the same thing when spoken of in this connection.
A very large number of students heard Henry E. Dixey in "Adonis" at the Bowersock last Wednesday night. This opera house is receiving a great deal of patronage from the students this year, a large portion of almost every audience being students.
