Prof. Jennings Selected To Head Social Survey
Will Gather Facts Regarding Home Situation in Lawrence
in Lawrence
L. D. Jennings, assistant professor of economics, has been selected to conduct an economic and sociological survey on the American people. Lawrence within the past five years.
The purpose of this survey, which is under the auspices of the state planning board, is to get definite information on the job and home situation, the interests of the people, their reaction to the community, their interest in the pro-pastoralist economy, small tract farming, and other things pertaining to the home situation.
The information obtained from this survey will give the state and national planning boards an idea of the situation in Eastern Kansas communities. In addition, Lawrence will receive benefit from this project, as it will aid the commission in planning future programs.
The city planning commission of the Chamber of Commerce developed the project, securing the aid of Chancellor Sternberg and President Dean, dean of the School of Business.
Professor Jennings is in charge of 11 CWA workers, who will assist him in carrying on this survey. It is estimated that the work will be completed in two weeks.

**tansas Editors Asked to Suggest Date**
and Speakers
Plan Future Roundtables
Plans for next year's Kansas Newspaper Rounduides are features of this month's Kansas Editor, which will be sent to all editors in the state, some time this week. The editors are requested to suggest a possible date, and a guest speaker for next fall's meeting.
A copy of the football schedule has been included in this issue of the Kansas Editor, as the roundtable is generally held on a week-end of a football game at which the editors are guests of the University. They attended the Kansas-Kansas State game last fall. The guest speakers at last fall's roundtable were Henry J. Allen, former editor of the Wichita Beacon and Alfred G. Hill of Oklahoma.
This month's publication also invited the editors to attend the exhibition of the Albert T. Reid cartoons in Spooner-Thaver museum later this spring, and the Don Mellett lecture, which will be given by Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star, during the latter part of April.
Girls of Czecho-Slovakia Wear Ancient Costumes
appear on the streets of Prague by the cross-stitched vaat and little standup collar which they wear even with business suits. In the exhibit there is a man's blouse of heavy, old handwoven woolen cord, which she misses, which Miss Ketchian bought in Prague.
(Continued from page 1)
The display includes many bands of the various types of embroidery, heavily worked in the bright reds, blues, greens and yellows, and the beautiful conventional designs characteristic of Cheobho Slovakian art. Also exhibited is a large paisley shawl of the type commonly worn by the peasant women, which Miss Ketcham says was probably woven on a loom brought from Scotland. The Scotch did not originate paisley designs; they were originally Indian and Persian motifs taken and introduced into the weaving in Scotland.
An interesting feature of the exhibit is a group of elaborately painted Easter eggs, also brought from Prague by Miss Ketcham. The thousands of these are made in the homes at this time each year for the children. The egg is first blown to remove the contents, and then decorated by a battik process in which the parts to remain are then dipped in a glue that is then dipped. One of the eggs was a large goose egg which came in a handmade wooden box made to fit it.
The display also includes illustrated children's books designed by pupils in the School of Industrial Arts in Prague.

"The most valuable word in the English language is "the"—the definite article," said Prof. Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic arts at the University of Kansas, in a recent talk in a series of "Words! Words! Words!"
Definite Article Is Most Valuable Word In English Language, Asserts Crafton
On first thought, Professor Crafton continued, one might choose some such word as "home" or "love" but for either of these there are synonyms or phrases which convey the same meaning. The

Commission Hears Book Review
A review of the book "Oil for the Lamps of China," was given by Betty Ann Stauffer, cuncl, at the meeting of the Advanced Standing commission held last Wednesday at Henley House. Plans were made for a picnic that will take the place of the next meeting.
most valuable word in the language is not found among the nouns or verbs or in any of the more important parts of speech.
The word “the” is well named the “definite article” for it does just what the name says—it makes definite. Professor Crafton illustrated the manner in which the definite article can change the shade of meaning in such cases as “man or“ mankind. He pointed out that saying “man is contented” and “the man is contented” are two entirely different words.
English, unlike French or German, can make such changes in the meaning of words by the use of the definite article.
Taking the sentence, "The governor ought to be strengthened and encouraged by manifestations of public approval," he inserted the definite article before "manifestations." He explained that the use of the definite article is instantly felt by every word in the sentence, as it makes the meaning of all the words absolutely clear.
