Bayles' Textbook To Be Published
An unusual feature of the book is its treatment of elementary, junior and senior high school, and college and university methods of teaching.
and university "Most books deal with either elementary, high school, or college methods of teaching and do not try to combine them." Dr. Bayles explained.
The first part of the book is devoted to theory of teaching and the second section to the theory in practice.
"The practical material in the last part represents the work of 25 or 30 graduate students of the University who explain teaching methods in their respective fields," he added.
This is the third book Dr. Bayles has written. His first, "Biology for Better Living," was written with R.
Music Sorority Entertains Vets
In a program of vocal, accordian, saxophone, and piano selections were Phyllis Seacat, education senior; Patricia Frazier, fine arts freshman; Twila Wagner, fine arts senior; and Eva Joyce Rohrer, fine arts junior. The program was sponsored by the Lawrence Red Cross chapter.
Five members of Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary music sorority, entertained veterans at Winter General hospital, Topeka, recently.
Campus elm trees will be sprayed with 6 per cent D.D.T. emulsion to prevent recurrence of the past year's tanker worm invasion, H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology, said recently.
Cross chapter.
Two groups of men and women veterans from 15 wards of the hospital attended the program.
Tree trunks are sprayed on the lower 4 feet since the female worms have no wings and lay their eggs on the lower tree trunk while climbing upward, Professor Hungerford explained.
"Every few years, we have a serious attack by the canker worms," he observed. Last year's trouble was caused by the eggs hatching before the leaves came out; the worm ate the buds and there was no foliage remaining to hold the spray.
Canker Worms Get DDT Bath
The elms were last sprayed in mid-December.
A new generator, with a capacity of 2.000 kilowatts, has been moved to the engine room floor of the University power plant.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said that the generator is needed because the two generators now in use are not sufficient to carry the required load.
Plant Gets New Dynamo
The University now gets a large amount of power from the Kansas Electric Power company. Three generators will not make the University self-sufficient, but, in case of emergency, the new generator will be able to handle the load alone for a short time.
W. C. Sanderson, superintendent of the power plant, said that a shortage of steel for the foundation is delaying installation of the generator. He said that it will probably be late fall before it will be in operation.

If You Want To Travel, Get Shot!
Standard procedure demands small pox vaccination and immunization against typhoid-paratyphoid fever for any country outside the continental boundaries. It would, of course, be wise to have routine protection while at home.
Students planning to travel abroad this summer should be thinking now about immunizations that are required for traveling in other countries, the University Health service recommends.
If a student is going to Africa, the Orient, Mexico, or South America, he will need protection against typhus. Cholera and yellow fever are health hazards in a few less commonly visited countries. A trip to the field, a camping trip in Mexico, the Southwest United States and in many areas in the Rockies will make vaccination against Rocky Mountain Spotted fever an important health precaution.
Watkins Memorial hospital will give these immunizations, but any one of them requires at least ten days for completion. If two or three are taken at once, the student must have a rugged constitution, so the health service advises an earlier start to distribute the misery over a longer period of time.
AWS Sponsors Leaders Day
Associated Women Students will sponsor the annual High School Leadership day Saturday, March 19, for outstanding senior women from 50 high schools, Joann Ruese, general chairman said today.
The purpose of High School Leadership day is to acquaint those women with the responsibilities of university leadership, activities, and the role which they can play in university life.
"The Associated Women Students, in its organization and operation of High School Leadership day, is carrying on an interesting and worthwhile effort to give to selected high school leaders encouragement, inspiration, and direction to further their potential service to others.
"The University administration is happy to extend every cooperation to A.W.S. in making leadership day a successful and worthwhile experience for those who will be our guests."
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women said. "I believe that the High School Leadership day is an excellent idea and will be most helpful to
DEANE W. MALOTT,
Chancellor.
the young women who will be representing high schools from all over the state. These girls will be able to meet, to share, experience with, and to see in action, women who achieved positions of leadership on our campus. This should provide inspiration for their own college career, and perhaps some understanding of what sights to set for themselves."
Each representative was chosen on the basis of her abilities and high school record by the administration of her own school.
High schools represented at the conference will be: Lawrence, University High, Eudora, Topeka, Manhattan, Olathe, Osawatomie, Wichita East and Plainview High, Emporia, Independence, Abilene, Leavenworth, Atchison, Ellinwood, Buhler, Highland Park, Baldwin, Garnett, Cottomwood Falls, Hiawatha, Lincoln, Ottawa, Richland, Yates Center, Chanute, Smith Center, Coffeyville, Concordia, Paola, Junction City, Erie, Jetmore, Bonner Springs, ElDorado, Humboldt, Wyandotte, Argentine, Rosedale, and Shawnee Mission.
The schedule for the day will include a welcome from Deane W. Malott, chancellor, a panel discussion led by Betty van der Smissen, first year law student and talks by Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, and Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women.
The representatives will be housed in organized houses on the campus.
All expenses for the women while at the University will be paid by A.W.S.
