Prof. J. H. Canfield, of the State University, was in the city over night, on business for the University and for the State Teachers' Association. He reports the University's prospects for the year as excellent: The last legislature cut off the Normal Department, and the regents reduced the Preparatory Department to a single year, but the numbers in attendance are almost as good as last year, while the standard is higher. The new men, Dr. Willex in Greek, and Dr. Sayre in Pharmacy, have made a fine impression and are evident acquisitions to the corps of specialists which the State is now creating at Lawrence. The new building, which the regents have wisely called "Snow Hall of Natural Science," is being pushed rapidly, and will be ready for the roof before winter closes in.
Prof. Canfield left this morning for Holton, where he lectures this evening in behalf of the High School Library fund.—Leavenworth Standard.
In reply to a query about the State Teachers' Association, Prof. Canfield stated that everything possible was being done to make it the largest and best meeting ever held in the State. The executive committee think the attendance will number nearly a thousand. The enthusiasm in the State is rising, and if special rates can be secured on the railroads, the number may even exceed that. The work has been divided into five sections and over sixty papers will be read and discussed—covering the entire educational field.

OUR SOCIETY DEPARTMENT — AND
WHAT THE CITY PRESS SAYS.
DAILY GAZETTE—The University Courier for this week is on our table, greatly enlarged, being now a six-column folio size. General Sullivan has taken a good step in the introduction of a new department of Society News, which he announces will be a permanent feature of the paper. He begins this week with artistically written reports of ten social parties in this city during the past week, with all the social gossip extant. Lawrence has long wanted a fashionable social paper, and he seems intent upon filling the want.
The paper before us is a fine one. The society folks of the city will welcome it. We predict for it in its new venture a grand success.
DAILY JOURNAL—The issue of this week's Courier appears from the JOURNAL job rooms this morning greatly enlarged in size. In this issue it announces its intention of furnishing in connection with its University work, a "Society Paper" for the city. As a beginning, this issue contains the social gossip of the city for the week past, very complete. Nearly a dozen social gatherings appear in detail, with the names of all present.
There has long been an opening in the city for a paper of this kind, and Sullivan, without introducing an extra paper in Lawrence journalism, has now opportunely taken advantage of it. The paper cannot but be very popular with young and old interested in society matters, and will undoubtedly be a grand success.
Business men seem to have already very generously taken advantage of it as an advertising medium, for which, from the large circulation it will gain at once among the ladies over the city, it will be very valuable.
Editorially it asks for reports of all social parties, ect. All such can be addressed to the Courier.
HERALD- TRIBUNE — Sullivan's Weekly University Courier made its appearance to-day, enlarged to a six-column folio. It has added a Society Department to its many other attractions. We hope the proprietors of the paper will find its publication a profitable business and a pleasant field of labor.
