Efficient Reading Habits Reduce Students' Work
Reading is rapidly assuming its long-recognized importance in the education field. Soon it will no longer be an elementary course but will continue into the higher schools until a level is reached at which students have acquired more perfect eye habits and reading comprehension.
College students, according to a statement made by Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor of education, and other experimenters in the field should read 300 or 500 words a minute with a high degree of understanding. Inability to read accounts for many college failures and low grades in general. (How did your mid-semesters come out?) Often we complain about an excessive amount of library work. And yet if we took the time to learn better reading habits the extra work would be no burden at all.
New primary methods are being tried out in Chicago under the direcntion of Dr. William H. Johnson, superintendent of schools there. First and second graders are learning to read with closed mouths. Pronouncing words tends to slow down mental processes, says Dr. Johnson. English has been divided into two sections: eye language where child follows directions silently written on blackboard; and oral language where loquaciousness is permitted.
Universities are likewise setting up special classes. Doctor Nash's reading clinic follows the general trend with its use of the metronoscope. Here the eyes follow words flashed at a given rate rhymatically across a line. Constant practice at this without the metronoscope is necessary to develop adequate habits.
Ability to read is a great time-saver and forms the basis of almost every activity before, during, and after college.
Certain fears have been expressed that the intramural program of athletics may tend to slump if some definite direction and sponsorship is not furnished.
Intramural Program Needs Adequate Support
On Jan. 3, 1937, the Board of Regents created a new athletic board and entirely new set-up at the University. Under the old system, intramurals had certain backing that was sure, but under the new, no plan has been adopted for their maintenance or perpetuation.
There is no reason to believe that they will die immediately; the impetus of polarity they have from previous years precludes that but, if for any reason, there should be any relaxation of the current enthusiasm (and there is bound to be at times) there is nothing to assure the continuance of intramural sports.
While they are still popular there should be adopted a plan for the regulation and financing of intramural activities. There was very little need for it under the older system, and furthermore, their growth is one of the past few years—very noticeably of last and this year.
We believe that some plan should be formulated and put in practice which would insure adequate support and regulation. That plan, it seems to us, should either be one which responsibilities upon the athletic board, or it should be one which is under some form of University sponsorship. The latter plan would have to rise out of the senate. Perhaps it could be through a faculty-student committee.
Intramurals are an important part of scholastic life. They provide clean, cheap recreation and at the same time, are definite aids to the physical well-being of the student.
An example of the force of this propaganda was clearly displayed by the throng of some 80,000 people who gathered in Vienna square to hear Hitler's address. It is not unusual that such a group should gather to hail the conqueror. The shocking part of it was the howling frenzy which the crowd worked itself into with the approach of Hitler.
Forsaking those necessities of life such as food, shelter and sleep, they packed themselves into the square three days prior to the arrival
Is Czechoslovakia Hitler's Next Move?
The front line of Hitler's military force is propaganda. So intensive and effective was his campaign spreading Nazism in Austria that he was able to occupy the country virtually unhampered.
His propaganda is designed to convert the laboring class—the shop worker and farmer who are destined to rise no higher in life than their present occupation. Such is the raw material upon which Hitler works. Anxious to rise to a rank of superiority, they are led to believe that all they need to do is affiliate themselves with the Nazi organization. They are given a suit of Nazi colors and a Swastika, the Nazi symbol of power. With this they strut up and down the streets proud of this abstract feeling of authority and prestige they have gained by their affiliation.
of Hitler. And on the day when Hitler made his dramatic trip from the border to Austria, the intensity, pitch, and enthusiasm rose until the noise coming from the mob was more like that of static combined with a howling wind rather than that of human beings.
At present Hitler has eight short wave broadcasting stations equipped with a directional beam apparatus which are being used to spread this propaganda throughout the world. In Belgium and Czechoslovakia his campaign is well under way. Already the Nazi party has control of the government in the latter country. By means of his directional beam control, he is conducting an intensive campaign through the air on the countries of Australia and New Zealand. And both countries have asserted themselves more strongly than ever to the British Empire.
Hilter is making propaganda do the greatest part of his fighting. From all indications Czechoslovakia is almost ripe for a conquest which will be nearly a repetition of the Austrian "Coup." To back up this propaganda force he has a powerful and well-trained army. He has nothing to fear in Europe except Russia.
Hitler needs Czechoslovakia for her oil resources. Russia has said she will not allow German occupation of that country. Will Hitler have the nerve to tamper with dynamite, disregard the warning of the one nation he needs to fear, and attempt another coup?
History is in the making.

Student Finds Turkey Herding Complicated Task
Vacation time finds University students in odd occupations. For instance, two summers ago turkey herders were in urgent demand. Carl Petterson, c38, a pre-medic, enlisted for the duration of the grasshopper season. He "ran" him (nither rider) as he wandered through a flock of 400 birds for six weeks.

It is impossible, Carl explains, to run herd on many farms because of the large number of turkeys. Big farms have flocks of several thousand which are kept in fenced fields. They are herded in western Kansas because the flocks are too hard to handle and can be quickly reduced; they can feed largely on grasshoppers and other insects if given an opportunity to roam.

Duty To Watch Turkey
F. QUENTIN BROWN
His duties consisted of keeping the turkeys full of grasshoppers and out of trouble. Carl reflected that their capacity for both seemed limitless. His pay was 60 cents a day, or 21% cents an hour with board and room. Aside from what he could shoot (among other things), he also carried of camned and dried food. Room was the open night or a 8x10-foot shack built on a threshing machine bed.

In the absence of human compan-
lorship Carl became a student of turkey behavior. He decided that they never attain a high degree of intelligence. That may be because their tenure on earth is so brief that attainments other than a full crop hardly seem worth while. In all their associations with him they never learned that his clothing was not as savory as a grasshopper, and consequently he finished his vigil in as much gumynsacking as pants.
Birds Are Fatalists
Perhaps the birds were fatalis, at any rate they didn't take any extra safety precautions in sleeping. A few did climb onto the roosts which were supplied, but they usually flopped to the ground and slept in whatever position they settled. In the most favored arrangement their necks were laid full length along the ground or over a log. When roosting in trees, their heads hung, and they help them hold the soil. So many exposed necks made it stabile for coyotes or dogs to kill a hundred or so within a few minutes; a quick grab and shake amounting to one less turkey.
Protecting the birds from these predatory animals is a herder's main duty. He挖 a lantern on one side of his flock and slept with a vum ready on the other. As soon as day the turkeys were up and after food.
Though turkeys are greasy, they like groups of twenty or thirty just as well as larger ones, and Carl, with four hundred, had to do a great deal of running to keep them together so that he could protect them.
Whenever they mounted a hillock, they spread out in fan shape on the opposite side and divided. After gathering several groups together from half-mile distances, Carl concluded that the best method for coping with such a situation was that they all went around the same side of the hill in the first place.
Birds Answer Only to Carl
Carl's ulcer had used "Pretty, pretty" to call the turkeys together at the first of the summer. By the time the six weeks was up, the call had degenerated into a sound that no one could imitate; therefore Carl was the only one to whom the birds would respond. Often he gathered together stragglers and wandervers from a mile front with this call.
When it rained at night the turkens had to be made to sleep on roosts so that they wouldn't catch cold from wet feet. In the daytime they had to be kept away from creeks or they would drown themselves, so great was the futility with which they viewed life.
Smokes the most interesting things the turkeys found all summer. Whenever they discovered a smoked chicken, they round it and watched. They didn't
try to kill it; they just look, Carl could that the only possible way to make them move on was to kill the snake and bury it.
Collects Fossils Too
Herding turkies has its advantages, too. Because the turkies weren't too critical of appearances Carl was able to forego shaving and practically never dressed for dinner. A clarinet player, he let the turkies enjoy an hour or more of music a day from school. He played with a rifle beside him, he played from hiltops overlooking the sleeping turkies. While the turkies took their afternoon naps he read a dozen books and many magazines.
During his spare time Carl made a collection of fossils. Most numerous were those of multacks, mussels and clams. He found several pieces of petrified wood, a phenomenon not supposed to be present in Kansas. The skeletons of cattle, rabbits and other animals which he found frequently gave him opportunity to review comparative anatomy.
Though he never felt affectionate toward his turkish Carl, says that he did feel that he might have doubles down on the sale for Christmas dinner last year.
THE GREAT OPEN SPACES
We are headed for the open... Open spaces where fresh air and sunshine put roses in our cheeks. Open diplomacy that substitutes frankness for secret scheming and negotiation. Open opportunities, open doors in business... And modern business in general conducted in an honest and open manner.
No force has been as powerful as advertising, in bringing American business into the open. A manufacturer who advertises, issues an open challenge to every competitor to produce better goods if he can. He invites the public to compare his article with all others. He makes definite claims for his product over his own signature. And he knows the vital importance of keeping his promises.
Advertising tells you where you can get the greatest value for your money. When you buy an advertised article, you know it is dependable. An unknown product means nothing. Advertising prohibits the worthless, and promotes the good.
Advertisements appearing in the KANSAN are the daily record of business progress,the report to you of the manufacturers and merchants who serve you. It will pay you to read them.
