basic problem, and it is not far off
it is immediate. He spoke of dust
where he was "choked in Texas by your farms in Kansas." His solution: to turn over the army and the CCC the process of soil conservation—to make it a scientific task.
Second, Mr. Durant pointed out the hurking danger of America's development into a weak nation. Growing decay in the people themselves may come about because natural selection is not allowed to work. "How are we to maintain human ability without natural selection?" Again a possible threat from outside came into the picture as he predicted a struggle for existence in the form of sterilization including a medical examination of engaged couples, the latter to be induced by financial aid.
Third, he spoke at length on the rapid lessening of moral education. In formal education, in literature, in family training, the moral fiber has raveled out. "I'm not talking about 'goodness'" he said with a smile, "but strength of character." Morality is necessary for man to live successfully. The social instincts require artificial strengthening so as to cope with individual impulses that are powerful enough to induce him to chase," and girl on the famished learned control because mother and father were the bosses, and things had to be done on time and in a certain way. There is little teaching of control in the family today was his thesis.
Economically, the speaker demanded that those who held much wealth in their hands should "conspire together" to give more money to the actual producers or laborers and less to investors—this for their own good, to depressions. Politically, he called for a Civil Academy in Washington to teach the science of political administration. And he drew an impressive picture of a National Advisory Council, with membership elected from economic groups.
Mr. Durant calls for free higher education on the basis of examinations for those who are intelligent—the wants to keep out the "million-dollar monsters." And he wants a woman who intelligently fistweds intelligently the wisdom of men.

Cleveland, Ohio—(UP)—Earl J. Bryan, assistant school superintendent, has reverted to the status of a high school sophomore to study first-hand the conditions pre- and in Cleveland's senior high schools.
Although Bryan, who is in charge of senior high schools for the Cleveland board of education, holds several college degrees, he goes to school for the entire day like any other 10th grader.
In a short while, the combination pupil-educator will have completed his sophomore course of study, then he will enroll as an 1st grader.
"After I. I 'graduate' from high school, I probably shall write a report." Bryan said, "but the main idea in my return to high school is to find out first-hand what is doing on."
He said that he never is tardy and arrives often at school before the first bell.
"I sit with the youngsters in their home rooms, study halls and recitation rooms. I eat lunch with them also and am just as happy as they are when the bell rings which signals the end of the school day."
"Ive spent an entire day at mos. f Cleveland's 13 high schools. I tayed 'after school at one ree-ntly-not because my mother the went o my downtown office for the rest f my day's work.
"The best way to acquire information on the inner workings of a school system is to visit the schools," he said.
Bryant's "return-to-school-days" plan has improved the morale of the city's senior high school division. He said the schools' principals were glad to co-operate with his survey.
"We haven't the slightest idea what Mr. Bryan is going to do with his collected information, but most of us are of the opinion that, no matter what he is doing, he at least is finding out for himself some of the things which constantly confront us," one principal said.

In general, the proposal of the committee would provide requirements for the B.S. degree in many respects like those for the A.B. degree. Hours, grade points, freshman rhetoric and proficiency examination in English; and hours and grades for transfer from class to class would be the same.
Field Cinemaum
Through the sophomore year, the distribution of work into divisions and fields would be the same for the two degrees, but for junior-senior work, a curriculum would be rather rigidly set for the B.S. degree. The maximum credit from any one department would be raised to 50 hours.
Request of the department of home economics for a new three-hour course in institutional organization and management was referred to the administrative committee for study.
The committee recommended also that if the B.S. plan is adopted that maximum hours for a major for the A.B. degree should be cut from 40 to 35, in an effort to insure wider distribution of work of the A.B. candidate. The committee suggested also that the administrative committee might well rescrutinate courses now offered by the university, a limited amount of which (15 hours) a student may offer toward an A.B. Degree.
The report of the committee was made special order of business for next month.
Britain, France Set For Trouble
Upon recommendation of the administrative committee, the faculty voted to consider physics and astronomy as separate departments for curricular purposes while concurrently teaching in the department. In other words, students may arrange major courses in either physics or astronomy.
- Speed Elaborate Naval, Military Preparations in Mediterranean
A course, metallurgy 195, offered by the School of Engineering and Architecture, was approved for professional credit in the College.
London, Wed. Jan. 18. (UPC)—Great Britain and France speeded elaborate naval and military prep-
rooming as they doubled in trouble in the Mediterranean today.
Gen. Maurice Gamelin, chief of the French general staff, accompanied by vice admiral Darlan, naval chief of staff, left to inspect French defenses in the Mediterranean. London annotated that Viscount Gort, chief to the imperial general staff will make a similar tour extending as far as Palestine, beginning Jan. 22.
More than seventy French warships of the Atlantic and Mediterranean fleet left Brest and Toulon today for maneuvers and a display of naval strength off the coast of Gibraltar. The British home and Mediterranean fleet will arrive off Gibraltar on Jan. 22, when Britain will begin combined naval, air and military exercises.
The controlled Italian press yesterday warned France of "war in the spring" unless the French press quit impugning the bravery of Italian soldiers and sailors. It was generally believed that the new Italian Navy would have defeated France when designed primarily for aid to the Spanish Loyalists.
Official quarters declined to say whether the military and naval arrangements were connected with threats by Italy, backed by Germany, against France. Well informed quarters, however, believed that they were more than a coincidence.
An insurgent victory in Spain apparently is within the grasp of Premier Benito Mussolini. Only last week Mussolini told British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain there is no hope of general European appeasement until General Franco is defeated all Spain. He added that Italy's entire course of action lies within the Rome-Berlin axis.

In observance of "Printing Education Week," Prof J. KJ. Kistler, superintendent of the *Journalism Press*, presented a discussion of "Benjamin Franklin, the Printer" from station KFKU yesterday afternoon.
Professor Kistler said that Benjamin Franklin was, first of all, a printer, writer, and publisher; and second, that he was an inventor, diplomat, and public servant. However it is only in compartively reeie years that due credit has been given to him as one of the foremost colonial printers and newspaper editors.

"One of Franklin's more important ventures in printing was when he acquired control of "The Pennsy-lynia Gazette." At the end of about 20 years he sold this paper for $90,000, and it is to the 'Gazette' that the "Saturday Evening Post" traces its ancestry." Professor Klaist said.

Political Crisis Grips France
Paris, Jan. 17—(UP)—Rightists and leftists clashed angrily in the chamber of deputies over socialist-communist demands that France resonate her non-intervention pledge and send arms and munitions to the Spanish loyalist defense of Barcelona.
Key figures in what had many aspects of a political crisis were for Premiere Leon Blum, who used a private radio station to appeal to the nation to re-open the Pyrenees frontier to arm ships, and to hand-in-feed the Hindenburg in who warned that such a move might lead to a European war.
Premier Edouard Daladier appeared to have no intention of throwing open the frontier, fearing that such action might cut off Italian tenure. He repositioned demands in the Mediterranean and North Africa.

Birmingham, Ala.—(UP) —Love is a great handicap to the accumulation of knowledge, according to Dr. Ray S. Musgrave, professor of psychology at Birmingham-Southern College.
The well-known "grudge against the professor" and financial worries also were listed as chief factors making for bad marks.
"When a student is in love, he is unable to concentrate on his studies," he said.
But love tops them all, Dr. Musgrave said.

This door is closed to the merchant who fails to realize an important, though simple fact about students. They hold hundreds of thousands of dollars at their command to spend in Lawrence . . . BUT WISELY! A recent survey* shows that 93 per cent of men's clothing bought during 1938 was purchased in stores which advertise regularly in the Daily Kansan. The official publication of the University of Kansas is the only medium which reaches ALL students, every day, with a medium of time and expense to the advertiser. Mr. Merchant, are you receiving your share of University business?
