"SYSTEM OF SCHOOLS MUST BE ADJUSTED"
Psychologist Says Presen Method is Inadequate for Defective Students
Taking care of the feeble-minded and defective delinquents of the future by adjusting the school systems for their benefit, was the theme of Dr. H. G. Goddard, noted psychologist; in his address to a large audience at Laser Academy, Friday night. Doctor Goddard condemned the idea of keeping this group in school as an obstacle that would devolve in them indolence and other bad habits that invariably make trouble for them later in life.
The Simon and Binet test for measuring intelligence, and how recognition of its great value was brought about by the World War, were explained by the speaker. When the United States entered the war, a group of psychologists, of which Doctor Goddard was a member, held a conference to find out in what way they might aid their country.
THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 108
Measuring the intelligence of the soldiers to pick out those capable to become careers and to be intrusted with important duties seemed important to the psychologists, and their offer to make the soldiers willing to serve the United States Government. The result was: 10 per cent of the army were discovered to have no more intelligence than a 10-year-old child, which meant they could progress no further than the fourth or fifth grade in school; 70 per cent were found not to have any more intelligence than the least cent of the army were of superior intelligence or the intelligence of a 20-year-old.
"We found that 10 per cent of our drafted army had the mental capacity of only a small child, and as it was with the army, so it is with the population of the United States, the state, the city, and the schools," declared Dr. Goddard. "We must take care of them before they take care of us," declared the speaker, "and let the slogan of the future be for one half of the speaker, "and let the slogan of the future be for one half of the speaker." At present Doctor Goddard is director of the State Bureau for Juvenile Research at Columbia, Ohio, but next September will go to the University of Ohio as professor of abnormal psychology.
Former Professor Talks on Japanese Newspapers
Vaughn Bryant, of Kansas City, Mo., a former professor in the department of journalism here addressed the journalism classes, Monday morning, on the characteristics of Japanese newspapers. Mr. Bryant recently returned from Tokyo, where he has been to Japan and the Japan Advisorer or three years.
Moreover, Summer Session students are to have part in the building of the Stadium-Union Memorial.
Mr. Bryant, who is a graduate of the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri, came to the University of Kansas in the fall of 1917. He remained on the faculty until the following January, when he resigned to take a position as publishing director for the Missouri Food Administrator. Just previous to his departure for the Orient, he was employed as university publisher for the University of Missouri.

Lawrence And K.U. Turned Out For The Old Fashioned Fourth
Oh, Skinnay! It was a regular picnic, wasn't it?
Lawrence, and the University of Kansas descended upon the American Legion picnic in Woodland Park, July 4—swarmed down upon it in automobiles, on bicycles, and on foot—ate its "hot dogs" and penguins, drunk its tepid "ice-cold" soda pop, listened to its speeches, danced in its pavilion, and "razzed" the umpire at its base ball game.
It was an old fashioned piek from the Fourth of July cation delivered by Gen. W. H, Sears, and the community singing lead by Prof. W. B, Downing, to the soaring paper balloons "mummy baby" stands under the trees.
There was a baseball game between two county teams, and, incidentally, one of the teams eventually won out, but the crowd didn't care particularly which side was victorious. It wanted to "kid" the players, "cause" the umpire, thunder at the recruitment person who persisted in standing to
TWENTY-SEVEN MAKE LAW ROLL OF HONOR
Faculty Elects Semester's Quota of Students With High Standing
The names of twenty-seven students of the School of Law here have recently been placed on the Honor List by the faculty of that school. It has been the custom of the law faculty to place the names of students doing excellent work on the list each semester.
The Honor Roll this year consists of the names of ten third year students, ten second year students, and seven first year students. The follo- ws is displayed on the School Honor Lists it as appears on the bulletin board at Green Hall:
The following students by action have been placed upon the honon roll of the faculty of the School of Law during a work done during the past semester;
"down in front." It wanted to much popeon, get chigger bites, and be sunburned. And it did!
A horse-scare pitching contest kept the older generation in state of high excitement, and the bicycle races brought the Lawrence lads out in full force. From the five-mile race for the older boys down to the half-mile, limited to lads under eleven, the races were spitted, and happy go- lucky the marshals found it hard to keep it off the track.

Deputies paced up and down the grand stands attempting to keep young America from shooting firecrackers while the invocation, speeches, and singing were taking place, but young America was firm in its contention that the Fourth was the Fourth, and the crackers continued to burst, until the last dancers left in the late, late hours.
SOCIOLOGISTS TO HAVE NEW CITY LABORATORY
Clinic For Use of Department Here to be Established in Kansas City
Kansas
A sociological laboratory, in connection with the department of sociology we will be established in Kansas City, Kans., the purpose of which is to give training to people who wish to prepare for social service positions. The details have not been thoroughly worked out yet.
"The plan is to begin slowly in this work and allow it to grow according to the demand," said Dr. Blackmark, a professor of management. "Possibly, it may grow into a
school of Sociological Service as a branch of the University, but at present it is only a part of the work of 'de department of sociology.'
The department of sociology for years has lacked opportunity to train people in practical preparation for social service. An attempt was made previously to develop this practical side of sociology, but it failed on account of teaching force and war conditions.
A course of lectures to be given in Kansas City for the social workers is included in the plans for the coming year. People majoring in sociology and preparing for social service, with the help of social surveyors and the people of Kansas City, will benefit from this course in social diagnosis and to do case work. This will necessitate an office in Kansas City for the work.
Dr. Stuart A. Queen, recently director of the School of Social Economy in connection with the Simon College in Boston, will have charge of this work. Doctor Queen was recently elected Professor of Sociology in the University. He will be assisted by other faculty members of the department of sociology at the University in this work.
"Doctor Queen is not only an all-around sociologist, but he is also a specialist of note," said Doctor Blackman. "The sociology department is very fortunate in securing Doctor Queen for this work."

COMPOSER'S RECITAL PLEASES BIG CROWD
Saar, Assisted by Garrison. Downing, and Kurtz, Presents Varied Program
In a recital of his own compositions, Louis Victor Saar, the noted American composer, delighted a large audience in Fraser Chapel, Monday evening. Professors Garrison, Downing, and Kurtz, all members of the Fine Arts faculty here, assisted with the various numbers.
Although the recital was given the evening before a holiday, and many students were out 'town, the auditorium was packed almost $10\mathrm{capacity}$. That the audience was appreciative of the varied and well balanced program, was shown by their applause and demand for encores. The recital consisted not only of piano music, but also other instrumental and demonstrated in a remarkable manner the wide range of the famous musician's compositions,
Something rather novel, at least to Lawrence audiences, was the use of two pianos in the presentation of the first group of selections. Prof. Ilff Garrison, of the piano faculty, played one piano, while the composer himself played two; gave five numbers, "Memuet a z" "Antique" and "Gavette-entize a."
Professor Kurtz, violinist, and Mr. Sarar at the piano rendered the next group of two numbers. The audience was especially pleased with "Romance Medolupe." Indeed many thought it would be one of the most beautiful selection of the recital.
The composer played four piano soil, and recalled by the continuous applause, gave a fifth number. The next was a group of songs sung by Professor Downing, baritone. He sang "The Ships", "My Love For Thee", and "The Voyager." in the final group, Professor Kurtz and Mr. Saar again charmed the audience in their presentation, on piano and violin, of "Sonata in G Major" in three parts. Throughout the entire recital the guitar was used as the sheet beauty of the selections and by the truly wonderful array of talent brought together for the evening. Louis Victor Saar's hearers were pleased with his marvelous expression at the piano, by his characteristic attitude of earnestness, and by the appreciation which he showed to his assistants. Summer School student at the University left Fraser Chapel Monday night feeling that they had seen not only a great composer and musician, but also a real man. Moreover, Summer Session student at

Dudley Buck Conducts Student Question Class
Dudley Buck, director of the master school in singing here, has formed a discussion class, which meets Friday afternoon from 2 to 3 o'clock, in order that the students enrolled under him may have the opportunity of asking questions about their work. Many of his students are trained in teaching voice, as well as in the problems of the individual singer.
Mr. Buck expressly stated last Friday that this class is not a lecture course. He has, therefore, announced no definite plan of work. Students will be free to suggest their own topics for discussion.
Moreover, Summer Session students are to have their part in the building of the Stadium-Union Memorial.
MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN
ON HERE NEXT WEEK
Summer Session Students Will Have Opportunity to Support Project
IS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
Committee Met Last Night to Discuss Plans For Big Drive
A number of students met with Professor Baumgartner last night, and plans for conducting the campaign are being worked out by the committee in charge. John M. Porter, A. B. 21, special representative of the Corporation, will have charge of the details of the drive.
Summer Session students are to be given an opportunity to lend their support in the building of the K. U, Million Dollar Memorial. A drive for pledges will be conducted among the students who have not yet pledged, Thursday and Friday of next week, it was announced by Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, secretary of the Memorial Corporation.
There are 713 students, now enrolled at the University, who have never had an opportunity to pledge towards the raising of the memorial fund. Porter pointed out that, although many of these students feel that they owe their allegiance to other schools, there is no one of them that should not consider it a privilege to be able to give something toward the great memorial to the soldier dead of Kansas.
The goal of the drive is $0,000,000,
to be used in the erection of a side
Stadium, the Student Union, and the
Uncle Jimmy Green statue. More
@$75,000 has been pledged up to
date, and the campaign has reached
every state in the Union. The student
of the University pledged more
@$200,000 to the fund, making
an average of @66 per student.
The Stadium, which will seat 32,000 people when completed, is half finished, and is already doing its part in bringing many athletic events to the University. The Student Union is to be built just north of Dyche Museum, and will be modeled upon the plan of the Michigan Union. The architects, Fond and Pond, working in conjunction with Preston Prosser, are preparing the plans for the structure.
"The friends of the University have looked upon the pledging of their support to the Memorial Fund as a high honor," said Professor Baumgartner. "We are confident that the Summer Session Students will consider the campaign next week in the same light. This is the only state wide memorial for the Ketasas soldiers killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor and derful support from the people of the state. The Summer School students last summer pledged nearly $7,000, and we believe this Summer Session will do even better than that.
