Why Fall Down On Your Job?
Why do men and women fail at their jobs?
Probably considerable study has been given to this thought, yet quite as likely, there is no definite answer for all cases. It is interesting to read of a study undertaken some time ago by a New England college to determine the causes of business and professional failures, among its graduates.
in short, negative and inelastic personalities fail to make the grade regardless of their training.
Lack of training according to this survey, accounted for only 30 per cent of the misfits. The other 70 per cent misfits had to be written down as want of initiative, adaptability, and imagination.
It is the observation of those who employ and manage men that these findings are largely true. Men who fail on the job or who do not make progress as fast as their preparation would indicate, are often described on rating blanks as being unable to get along withothers, "having no push," or "have to be told what to do next." In other words, the same lack of initiative, adaptability and imagination.
To the young man or woman on the Hill who has yet to locate in a job, other students here who have passed that point and now hold positions of responsibility, will gladly point out the need for adaptation and initiative when the long-sought for job does arrive. They will also point out that "getting along with people," seeing things to do, and doing them, without waiting to be told, and making a sincere effort to do a full day's work for a full day's pay, will keep the employee off the breadline, and in a good job, when others are being turned away.
The university, or any school, can but train the individual to do his work academically correct, but seldom is the school able to inculcate what are generally called the personality traits. Those either must be born with the employee, or else they must be acquired by sheer force of will and desire to make good.
How fine a place it would be, if academic subjects could teach the ability to adapt oneself to a position not exactly desirable, or to instruct the prospective employee in how to get along with people and get ahead. Unfortunately, such courses aren't yet available. One must get those things for himself.
It's Fair Time From Now On!
It's Fair time in Kansas:
From now until late fall, the blaze of carnivals, noise of racing cars and the cheering of horseraces will be heard from one corner of the state to the other. A Kansas intitution is about to be opened for another year.
Climaxing in September with the two big fairs, the state fair at Hutchinson and the Free fair at Topeka, nearly every city, village and town will hold its annual exhibition sometime between now and October. It is safe to say that nearly every Kansan will attend at least one such fair before the year is over.
Housewives are preparing those luscious canned fruits, those mouth-watering cakes and pies, and dozens of other appetitizing delights which
Teachers Colleges Hold Their 100th Anniversary
The banquet held last week by the School of Education coincides, it has been discovered, with the celebrations which are being held in many teachers colleges in the United States this month, in observance of the 100th anniversary of the founding of normal schools in this country.
The first state-supported institution in the United States for the exclusive purpose of educating teachers was opened in Lexington, Mass., in July, 1839. The establishment of this school was the forerunner of many similar schools now operating in every state, and of departments and schools of education in nearly every other college and university.
The first normal school was largely the result of the efforts of Edmund Dwight, who offered $10,000 provided the state would give an equal sum to start normal training schools in Massachusetts.
One Instructor. Three Students The first school in Lexington had one instructor and three students for the one year course. A model school for actual practice was provided. The school later was moved to West Newton, Mass.
The movement for teachers colleges spread early in the east, and such an institution was regarded as one of the paramount needs of the times. New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania soon followed with other normal schools.
By 1864 normal schools were common, and had spread from coast to coast. The principal entrance requirements for those days were a thorough knowledge of the three "Rs", grammar, spelling and arithmetic. Today most of the normal schools have become teachers colleges, and now offer courses leading
to a professional degree. The universities and other schools have followed the lead of the normal schools and have provided a curriculum for similar teacher-training courses leading to a degree.
Private teacher training was introduced into the academy at western North Carolina in 1785. The Moravian academy at Nazareth, Penn, gave teacher training as early as 1807. New York in 1827 aided private academies for teacher-training with state funds.
155 Teachers Colleges Of the 155 teachers colleges in the United States today, only 10 are privately operated. The spread has been largely with emphasis on state owned and operated institutions. These normal schools have been established almost as soon, and in the case of some states, previous to state universities.

Emporia State Fire Only three other professions have been taught in the United States longer than teacher-training. Harvard was established in 1637 to prepare young men for the ministry. William and Mary college offered the first law course in 1779, and in 1765, the Medical college of Philadelphia was established.
The first private normal school was established by the Rev. Samuel Read Hall at Concord, Vt., in 1823.
must stimulate even a judge's jaded and suffused taste.
The State of Kansas established the Kansas State Normal school at Emporia in 1863, about three years before the University was established. The school of education in the University was established in 1875 with an enrollment of 35. At present there are two teachers colleges in Kansas, at Emporia and Pittsburg, but the other state colleges, at Manhattan and Hays, as well as K.U., offer courses leading to the professional education degree.

Truly, country fair is a state institution. Every summer session student would profit by attending one, somewhere, this year.

Library Lawn to be Seeded
The ground in front of the library will be reseeded with bluegrass in the near future, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of building and grounds. Workmen were busy last week removing a two-inch depth of grass sod with tractor and grader.

Three weddings, which have occurred recently at Tulsa, in New York City, and in Cherryvale, of University graduates, have been announced.
The marriage of Miss Kathryn Rachel Taggart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Taggart, of Meriden, and David Philip Beaudry, of Cambridge, Mass., took place at the Little Church around the Corner, in New York, on July 18.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Beaudry are graduates of the University, Mrs. Beaudry was a member of Phi Sigma honorary sorority, and Mr. Beaudry, of Alpha Kappa Psi, business fraternity. They will be at Birmingham, Ala., after September, where Mr. Beaudry has a position as assistant professor in Southern college.
At a ceremony Sunday in which only a few close friends and relatives were present, Miss Cecilia Mitchell, of Cherryvale became the bride of Samuel James Molby of Sallina. Mrs. Molby graduated from the University of Kansas in 1935, and was a member of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, and of Phi Beta Kappa. Mr. Molby, also a University graduate, from the school of law, was an honor student and a member of Phi Beta Kappa while on the Hill. He is now practicing law in Kansas City, where they will be at home after August 4. at 4021 Walnut.
The third marriage was that of Miss Elsie Schlegel, to Larkin Bailey, at Tulsa, Okla., Saturday evening. Mrs. Bailey received her master's degree from the University of Kansas in 1931. Mr. Bailey graduated from the University of California and also attended Yale and the University of Michigan.
