THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
VOLUME XI.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION MEETINGS STARTED HERE MONDAY MORNING
ENDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Many Speakers of Note Give Addresses at Big Conference
The Conference on Religious Education opened in Myers Hall yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, with an attendance of about 200. Sessions were held all day yesterday, and will continue today and tomorrow, ending with Chancellor E. H. Lindley's address tomorrow evening.
The conference is being held by the University in conjunction with the Kansas School of Religion, and is a new institution for the University of Kansas. Morning sessions are being held in Myers Hall, and the afternoon and evening meetings are conducted in Fraser Chapel. The attendance consists not only of the students in the Summer School, but many of the people of Lawrence are also listening to the talks and addresses.
Forrest E. Witcraft, of the Kansas School of Religion, delivered the first of his series of lectures on the Kingdom of God, at the first session of yesterdays morning. Mr. Witcraft space on "Beginning of the Kingdom."
"BEGINNING OF THE KINGDOM"
**BORNING.**
"I suggest at least two angles from which we may view the value of the old Testament in our religious education," said Mr. Writer. "One is the value which lies in biography. Its larger meaning, however, lies in the directional and purposive element in the story."
Mr. Witcraft spoke of two opposing interpretations of the significance of the Mosaic period. One is that the Mosaic period, is the golden age in Hebrew history. He showed how the other view sees in Mim. Sinat a wonderful revelation of God, a glorious character for the future. It sees the fact that such an experience might be hard to bear and severe struggle toward the thing which would mean the final attainment of God's will for them.
NUMBER :
"This view," said Mr. Witcraft, "inides the glory of the Old Testament in the gradual but wonderful religious care of people under His care and guidance."
"The Eble is meaningful," he continued, "in the larger sense because there is a continuity to it, a connective with the common final dialect which r'us through it."
DR. BRADEN'S ADDRESS
"God is a father and God is a spirit," or "God is a benevolent spirit," was Jesus' conception of the deity, according to Dr. Arthur Braden, Dean of the Kansas School of Religion, in his address at 10 o'clock. His subject was: "Jesus' idea of God." Dr. Braden stated that all men were religious and had some sort of an idea of God, and he declared his belief that the Bible is the best book in the body of knowledge and development of an idea of God. The spiritual conception becomes stronger the farther one goes in the Old Testament, and reaches its highest point in the books of the prophets, he said.
Dr. Braden summarized his talk by stating that all of God's 'conceptions regarding man, sin, salvation, and life' were given on His fundamental idea of God.
SUNDAY SCHOOL REFORMS
The efficient Sunday School of the future will extend its program to cover two hours of study and recitation; it will pay for supervision, and probably for teaching; the curriculum will be graded and improved and the equipment will be better; all of these changes will necessitate a larger and better regulated budget." The foregoing prophecy was given at the close of the address of the Belles, professors of Religious Education at Northwestern University, who spoke at the Conference yesterday morning.
Outlining the function of the Sunday School, Professor Betts mentioned four prime purposes: to make pupils acquainted with the Bible and other religious literature; to lead the pupils to know a living God at work in nature, in human history, and in the souls of men; to acquaint the papils with the nature, achievements and program of the church and lead them to active membership; to put the religious motive back into practice so that their religion shall become a fundamental part of life and conduct.
THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 20, 1922.
A graphic statement of present conditions in the Sunday Schools was given in the form of a chart.
CLASS ROOM OBJECTIVES
"The class Room Objectives" was the subject of this chapter. He discussed class room objectives from a religious point of view.
The essence of the speech was this: the child in place of the material should be taught; the number on the board should be used; the number of lessons taught should be considered.
As some of the chief classroom objectives, Mr. Betts mentioned: Giving certain religious knowledge to the child; cultivating right religions attitudes; giving the kind of instructive care; giving over into the child's character.
N E FORSYTH
In the discussion of the "Need for Week Day Religious Education" before the Conference on Religious Education, Monday afternoon, N. F. Forsty, superintendent of religious education, East Chicago, Ind., told of the work of a council of religious education in the Calmet district of East Chicago, where density of certain groups of Europeans tends toward the continuity of many undesirable European ideals.
Mr. Forsyth pointed out that recent studies in psychology have made it increasingly evident that childhood is the best time to learn. Therefore, a religious educational program for childhood is of vital importance.
Chancellor Lindley addressed the
THE CHANCELOR'S ADDRESS evening session on "The Function of Religion." He gave as the three great essentials of human life: knowledge, skill and faith. Arts and sciences give men skill, but religion is the source of deeper faith than greatest stimulant ever known. "Religion is greatest stimulant ever known," he said. "Religion is also the greatest unifier. One's every day work is specialized and one-sided, but religion gives usensed power to restore harmony and unity.
"Religion is subject to laws as anything else. Just as muscles grow by use, so the soul grows by actual worship. Prayer, the contemplation of

The pledges to the Kansas Millioi Dollar Memorial fund for the erection of the Stadium and the Student Union Building now total $88,000, according to a report from the officials of the corporation.
No matter how widely scattered the friends and alumni of K. U. may be, they are still loyal to their alma mater, as evidenced by the subscriptions to the memorial fund from graduates outside of Kansas. Alumni wh
are living in other states and countries have pledged $75,000 to date, and they are not through yet.
In connection with the Kansas drive, the results of the Illinois drive for much the same purpose have been pointed out. The goal of Illinois is $2,500,000. Fledges now total $1,850,000, and of this sum, $1,600,000 came from the campus and people of the home town.
Faculty and students ... $265,000

AGGIES GIVE UP DORMITORY
President Jardine Waives Right To Share Appropriation
President W. M. Jardine, of the Kansas State Agricultural College,
be获授了right of his institution to share in the appropriation recently made by the state legislature for the purpose of building dormitories at the five state schools. The entire fund will b ill enabled for building dormitories at the University, Kansas State, Normal, Pittsburg Normal, and the Hays
The original bill for the erection of the dormitories called for an appropriation of $1,000,000, but the legislature trimmed the amount to $500,000. James A. Kimball, the state manager, knew that amount would not go far toward building the five dormitories, and so, in calling for bids, he asked the architect specifically which would show much of the builings would cost if certain features were eliminated. Even with this provision, however, the bids were all far above the amount appropriated by the state.
The fund will be enough to build four dormitories, and as President Jardine's voluntary action waives the right of the Aigle school to share in the appropriation, the money will be used to build other four institutions. The dormitories are planned to hold 100 or more women each.
Time Worn Feline Brings Good Price
“What's up, boys?” and the stout old man on his way to enrollment paused to assist two small boys pick up the contents of a box they had just dropped. When righted, he discovered four baby rabbits.
"Well, well, where did you get these?"
"We got 'em from Van, the animal man. We sold him an old cat." "Didn't you like your cat?"
"I tain't our cat, we sold. We just saw it and get it to Tavn 'causevm does it too, and I do it too, doc boys, and it's a good way to get money for ice cream ones."
"And how much does he give you little people?"
"Oh! golly, mister, we got w thirty-five cents and these four rabbits. Why? You got some cats to sell? He sure 'muff pays good. You'll see!"

K. U. Graduate Praises New Instructor Here
Umt U. Allen, who received a degree of bachelor of music in 1917, and is now residing in Wellsley, New York. She is the chairwoman of the Alumni Association:
"K. U., is to be congratulated, I believe, on having Dr. S. A. Queen as an addition to the department of sociology next year. He is a native Kanans, but is at present living in Wellesley and is connected with Simmons College in Boston. Mr. and Mrs. Queen are charming people, and am glad they are to be a part of K. U.'s family."

Dr. B, M. Allen, head of the department of zoology, whose resignation as recently announced from the office of U.S. Department of Interior partment head at the University to
resign this spring. Prof. C, C. W. Williams, head of the department of civil engineering, and Prof. Arthur MacMurray, head of the department of public speaking, are the other two admissions have been announced.
Doctor Allen has accepted a position similar to the one he held here, in the southern branch of the University of California, situated at Los Angeles. His resignation here is to take effect in time for him to assume his duties in California at the first of the fall term. Doctor Allen is now directing a biological survey trip at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Sand, Wash. The trip will take several weeks, and it is probable that then Doctor Allen will return here for a time before he goes to California.
During the time that Doctor Allen has been here he has built up his department with great rapidity, until today it is one of the best in this section of the country. He has led a number of such expolition work and has done a great deal of interesting and valuable work in his field.
Doctor Allen took his Ph. B. degree from De Pauw in 1988, and a Ph.D. D at Chicago in 1903. He served as an instructor in zoology at the University of Wisconsin from 1903 to 1903, and as an associate professor of *mology* at the same institution from 1908 to 1913. He assumed the duties of his present position at the University of Kansas in 1913.
No one as yet has been appointed to the position left vacant by Doctor Allen's resignation, and neither has anyone been appointed to the position formerly held by Professor Doyle who is going into commercial work.
Prof. H. A. Bice, of the department of civil engineering, has been appointed to take Professor William' place as the head of the department

OFFICIAL RECEPTION
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
About Four Hundred Students and Faculty Received During Evening
MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN
Older Dancers Show Younger
Set How It Used to
be Done
The musical program, presented by the School of Fine Arts of the University, was appreciated by every person. The program was as 'allows':
The official reception for students of the Summer Session was held in Robinson Gymnasium Friday evening at 8 o'clock.
Vocal soole, Danny Deever, Damosch; Prof. W. B. Wowing: violin ola, Chanson Poloniese, Wieniaksi; ?rof. F. E. Kurtz: vocal soole, The Winds of the South, Mrs. Ethel Derssar-
About 400 students and faculty members were received during the evening by Chancellor and Mrs. E. H. Jordan, then by Dr. S. A. Dugan, and Dean, and Mrs. E. J. Kelly.
After the program there was time for those who were present to get acquainted before the dancing commenced. It is rumored that there
was much date "swapping." The members of the Summer Session student body had their first chance to gather socially last Friday and many of the students found "kindred spirits" in the Gymnasium.
As Prof. F. B. O'Brien, acting chairman of the social committee, had promised, there pas plenty of variety in the music of the evening. They were slow, sedate waiters when those of the crowd who didn't dance of the day attended their younger students how twas done in the days of real grace. And then
there was all that could be fussed for in the line of modern dances where the younger members of the crowd tried to show the older how impossible the old dances really were. It seems, however, that neither side won, for the variation continued throughout the evening.
All present seem to have had a good time. It was a congenial crowd, and there was good fellowship in abundance. There probably would have been many of them if so many of the students had not left Lawrence for the week-end.
Kansan Prepares to Print Summer Session Directory
The Summer Session Kansan, following the practice of past years, will begin Friday the publication of a drummer. The list has grown to such rector yof the students enrolled this a length that it will not be possible to meet in time for single issue, but it will be continued in two or three issues of the paper.

Reading Room is Crowded
Reading Room is Crowded
Complaints are coming from the libraries at Spooner to the effect that there is not enough room on the main floor to accommodate all the students who wish to study there in the afternoons. This crowded condition is due to the fact that all the libraries in the other buildings are closed for the summer, and the necessary reference books are being placed on the shelves at Spooner.
