COMMUNICATIONS.
Dr. Spencer, President of Cooper College, located at Sterling, was in town last week to address the State Sunday School convention. Dr. Spencer has for some time been endorsing to get recognition for his school from the State Oratorical Association. He does not especially desire admittance to the association as it is now constituted, recognizing that it is already too large. His plan—and certainly it is a very good one—is to divide the school of the state into groups and allow the local orators to contest in these groups, the winner in each to go to the state contest.
By this method all the colleges of the state could be let into the association and the state contest still not be nearly so long and tedious as it now is. The plan seems perfectly feasible and certainly just to the smaller colleges of the state. Dr. Spencer's College, although young, and doing largely local work, is yet a broad guage school in spirit, and the faculty is composed of broad minded men, as a glance at their catalogue will show.
Why could not some plan be arranged where y Salina, Cooper, Winfield and other institutions in that section could hold a contest to select an orator for the state contest? Why could not Emporia with Ottawa settle their dispute at home? And certainly Baker, Washburn and K U. could furnish entertainment for one evening.
That it is unjust to shut out such institutions as the one referred to cannot be denied, neither can recognition be given them so long as the present organization is maintained. The whole organization should be changed. In my estimation a reorganization on some such basis as this, with a few dirk stabs at the grade system, would give kansas a higher place in the Interstate Contest. I would be very glad to see these suggestions set aside by better ones.

A New Departure.
Recognizing that the ideal college journal is for the benefit of the students of the institution in which it is located, and that it should do all in its power to assist the students in their development, the STUDENTS JOURNAL has decided to make, in a practical way, another step toward the ideal college journal. A serious drawback has been found, which often causes the needy student to leave school, and deters prospective students from entering the University. The Journal proposes to do something to ward removing this drawback.
Very frequently, students in the University are obliged to give up their studies and go home just from lack of funds. These students are always willing to work in order to remain at school, but not knowing where to find work, they leave the University, go out into the world and in many instances are prevented from re entering school. Again, many prospective students are unable to enter college because they have insufficient funds and are not sure that they can find employment while at school to pay, in a measure, their college expenses. The other day an alumnus wrote to the University saying that a young man of his acquaintance would attend school if he could find employment for odd hours. This alumnus asked if work could be found. Of course no definite answer could be given; and perhaps this young man will not be able to enter the University.
What the STUDENTS JOURNAL proposes is this. To run a WANT COLUMN in which any student or prospective student can state, free of charge, that he desires certain work to perform. This column will also be open to those who want student help. All interested are earnestly requested to make free use of this column. It is rather late in the year to put such a plan in operation, yet it will be of advantage to students who desire employment for next year.
