September 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrences, Kansas A SERVICE FINISHED The passing of Arthur L. Owen brought to the University yesterday the tragedy of sudden death, sharpened by the realization that a life of service had ended in the midst of its work, a fine mind had been stilled in the full enjoyment of its powers. PRESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE That group of friends who will feel a personal loss includes prominent men and unknown students, who have benefited by the work of Professor Owen. The University has lost a man who has added prestige to the name of Kansas in educational circles of the nation. The disclosure that the President makes provisions for the reading of all the mail which comes addressed to him will be received with varying opinions. There will be those who approve of such careful attention to the details concerning the people displayed by their leader, while others will regard it as a waste of time. "Such nonsense," will most likely be the comment of those who criticize. "Just another way of spending the tax payers' money." That most of these letters are insignificant and written by ignorant persons will also be one of their arguments. The greater part of the mail probably does fall in this class, but these letters are sincere, and they are appeals from discouraged and heartstick persons, or from those who have comments to make which seem important to them, and they feel that in the presidential office there is a man to whom they can turn with their troubles. One in the highest position of a nation, and one with unnumbered responsibilities, who can give consideration to the individual problems of his people deserves the greatest admiration. The people will take heart from the knowledge that their highest authority is not too high to hear the common appeal. $ ^{a} $ A MUSIC CENTER "The Middle West never sees the great artists" is a common complaint among the people of this area. Stock companies stop at Chicago or may come as far as Kansas City; grand opera seldom approaches the Mississippi; and the great orchestras and musicians are associated with the East. During the year students at the University have been given opportunity to hear such artists as Rosa Ponselle, Nathan Milstein, the Roth String Quartet, and this week Josef Hofmann, the Hilger Sisters, and tonight, Evelyn Swarthout. The University has become a center of music with not only an unusual succession of guest artists, but also with students and faculty of the School of Fine Arts presenting excellent performances. Music Week comes as the triumph of the season. An extensive program, carefully planned and varied, is being carried out. The concerts have had a large attendance, of both students and the people of Lawrence. The efforts of D-ian Swarthout and the School of Fine Arts have not been expended for an unappreciative public. Those who have worked untringly for this week and many other programs are being rewarded. Persons come from all apartes of the surrounding country to concerts at the University, which is rapidly becoming a great music center. The Emporia Gazette tells of a woman who didn't worry about the depression because the Lord would take care of her. Yes, Elijah was fed by the invaders, but will there be enough ravens to go around. A NEW DEAL IN GRADES The Oregon Daily Emerald announces a "new deal" in grades, a system proposed by the dean of the School of Journalism where comments instead of grades are placed on the students' papers—a practice which has been carried out for years by many professors at the University of Kansas. By doing away with grades on papers the Oregon dean believes that the student will be prompted to study the corrections on the returned paper more carefully, which will be an incentive to improvement. With the old method there is a tendency to toss a paper aside as soon as the grade has been learned. The plan does have many advantages. Comments are more personal than grades, and provide a direct guide to improve- flowers for Mother Mother's Day SUNDAY Order Early Whatever flowers please your mother flowers you will find Word's SPRING PARTIES CALL FOR CORSAGES Flowers Telegraphed or Delivered Anywhere WARD'S Flowers 931 Mass. at Ward's.

The Daily Emerald suggests that the old system of grading is inclined to give rise in the class room to a small social elite among the best students, which carries with it too much prestige. SELF SUPPORTING STUDENTS AND CSEP WORKERS: The method used by many of the instructors on the Hill of Kansas is that of placing critical and constructive comments within and often on the back of papers. These are usually very carefully read to ascertain the opinion of the instructor, and also to gain a general idea of the rating of the work. If desired, grades may usually be learned upon request. The passing of the old system does away with the easy method. if learning the grade at a glance and discarding the work, and the new method calls for more careful examination. The former is a hangover from grade school; the latter has proved unusually successful, and is more befitting the attitude of a college student.

This has been proved by experiments at Bell Telephone Laboratories. When it's humid, a film of moisture forms on the glass. The more humid, the thicker the film and the more electrical current escapes! Important factors governing amount of leakage are the chemical nature of the glass, its shape and age, the amount and kind of dirt on its surface. Through exhaustive studies, telephone men have developed more efficient types of glass insulators—and are seeking ways to make them still better. Close attention to every detail of Bell System equipment leads to constantly improving service. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM REVERSE TO TELEPHONE HOME ONCE EACH WERE REVERSE THE CHARGES IF YOUR FOLKS AGREE.
