CURATOR H. T. MARTIN
H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the department of paleontology of Dyche Museum, has recently been honored by the British Museum of Natural History, London, England. Among the number of specimens which Mr. Martin sent to the British Museum was a new species, to which the name of calantia (tiwanelope) nartiert was given in his honor. From his own quarry in Western Kansas, Mr. Martin has placed specimens in a number of English and European museums besides adding to the collections of many museums in the United States.
Mr. Martin has been connected with the University of Kansas as assistant curator of Dynec Museum since 1896. During this time in addition to his work at the University, Mr. Martin has been hunting specimens. He now considers his greatest collection that of the pterodactyl a, nuge flying reptile, of which the fossil remains are to be found in Western Kansas. Pterodactyls are among the rarest fossils as only two specimens of this largest flying species have been found complete enough to be mounted. Both of these were collected by Mr. Martin.
The work of Corator Martin commands the highest recognition and praise from the University of Kansas. During the thirty-three years that he has faithfully served the University as a curator of Dyche Museum, he has been recognized by the men in the field of paleontology both in Europe and America and the University has basked in the reflected glory of his work. The acknowledgment that he has accomplished a valuable work in his field is perhaps the greatest reward that the University can bestow on him and the long association of Mr. Martin with Dyche Museum and his services to the museum are to be highly prized.
WE FLYING AMERICANS
Production of airplanes for private ownership and operation, has more than doubled during the past year. The automobiles growth of the air mail has reduced air mail postage rates by more than one-half. All this has been accomplished principally through the general improvement in the performance, efficiency, and safety
Remarkably rapid strides are being made in aeronautics, yet there are millions of people who never have taken an airplane ride. While, of course, there are many uninitiated, notable progress has been made during 1928 in the development of flying activity. The inauguration of regular air transport passenger lines has resulted accordingly in a greatly increased number of air travelers over the year before. Express companies have taken to the airways, railroads are planning to combine trans-continental air and rail passenger service, and thousands of miles of lighted airways have been added for night flights.
of all types of aircraft. Truly, aeronautics is assuming an increasingly important role in the economic life of our country.
The United States is a flying nation, or soon will be. Within a very few years, he who cannot fly an airplane, he who cannot drive an automobile, he who cannot drive an automobile.
HOOVER'S WAY
The United States now has a president with nerve enough to say "NO" to his employer, the public. It has been customary for the president to spend many hours, counting up into days and weeks during his administration, shaking hands with visitors. At the same time, the people of the country except the president to take care of all the details of his stipend jobs. They want full value from their presidents.
This action of Mr. Hoover's in cutting down the number of receptions indicates that he is going to follow in the way of his predecessor, paying less attention to the public and accomplishing more for the country.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS
The first time little Rudolf disbelieved his mother and went swimming there were no serious consequence. She warned him not to go the second day and the third but again he did not beed her. About a month later Little Rudolf nearly drowned, after which he tearfully reproached his mother with "Why did you let me do it in the first place?"
At the beginning of the semester each professor methodically warns students to do their work and turn in at regular intervals. Some students comply while others do not. The professor, in most instances harps constantly about late work but in many cases no positive action is taken. A few have the idea that perhaps they may "get by" without doing the required work at all.
As the days of final approach the methodical professor suddenly may become a "hard-hearted grind." He may even be so unreasonable that he will refuse a final grade in a course until all the required work is completed. In desperation the abused student will cry as little *lubridi dic* "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
Although it may seem cruel and heartless, it is a wise and kind professor who at the beginning of the semester definitely states the penalty to be exacted for late papers and then has the courage to stick by it. The work of the professor and student as well, would be much more readily accomplished if the student did his work on schedule time. The work of the teacher would be much easier if he could have the outside work to grade gradually instead of having it all piled up during final week. In such cases some of the work turned in late may be mere repetition. The student may be so excited and hurried over getting assignments in that he may not have time to review for the final. He may hope to "crib" enough to pass the final from the student who sits next to him. All cribbing does not originate in this way but hurried and inadequate preparation may lead the most virtuous into temptation.

The tablets are housed here by the University of Pennsylvania, which is conducting its expedition joint with Oxford university.

It is wrong to infer that the error. Perhaps a psychologist could explain it in high-sounding terms. So far as her insider is concerned it's plain wrong.

CHANGES IN PLAYTHINGS

Doll houses, toy cities and all the materials used to build homes and towns—bricks, blocks, little trees and playgrounds. The children, years ago, when Mr. H. G.

And all of British manufacture.
American toys, if one may judge from the many advertisements of them in home magazines, follow a certain set of rules for child training. No doubt one can still buy sets of dishes and pongnas, but the toymakers stress playthings which will, so they say, build strong hands and improveers and "offer interest in aviation."

Campus Opinion
There is a certain type of individual who begins to blossom out it, and eventually succeeds to be warned against. This is the man who professes to be seeking students for summer work and promises to pay four hundred dollars for the summer on up. He paints a r.v picture to them of the successful college merger that occurred last year. Summer work and made tremendous profits but when the student becomes too curious he is always informed by the head of school or one so far away that there is no likelihood or even possibility of finding out the truth concerning him.

So, unwary student, take the words of wisdom from one who knows and take all of these get rich quick
Some of these individuals even attend the university for a season to learn new skills, but go over that they are right. They are able to make it fairly nicely on the money which they can collect from their school, or perhaps they are going to get a good job and be able to return to school in the fall. It is also possible that out on a good summer's work and as a result is unable to return on account of money or else he has to go in.
These individuals represent everything from aluminum ware, stock door knobs, tools and hardware, plant养护师, ladies' hensery, and so without end—anything that the poor gullible student might fall for. When a teacher or promoter always takes some sort of a deposit from five dollars up to ten dollars, they intentionally and in turn the student receives a course in high pressure sales management. The money is supposed to be returned.
The excavation had led through a "death pit" of the type customarily encopresed in antiquity or aristocratic burial of the third million B. C., where row on row of courtiers and servants were laid out to wait upon their lord in life; and the more particularicular "death pit" the skeletons were much more poorly clad than is usually the case in such burials, having only a few silver ornamental objects finally found.
Yet this relatively poor burial chamber proved to be one of the richest finds in Ur. We found all the graves had been dug into a vast rubish pit which slipped down from the walls of the church, and carried up the marsh or river out of which it rose, and the bottom of this parish was a rectangular cistern of rubish, necessarily much older than itself. In this rubish there were found the inscribed tablets and
These proved to be among the oldest of written documents, certainly the oldest that far found at Urs. They included figures found last year, whose cultural level could not then be determined. They are known as long time ago near Kish, bearing an exceedingly archic form of picture writing, but the fact that they were only about a century old of debris as yet wholly unexplored promises that when the spindges go down through it they will probably be able to collect or age those of Urs' rival city.

A bill appropriating $48,000 to improve Mount Wentworth for a Presidential refuge in just months will help you validate you on the success of the campaign first broached in your newspaper and almost unanimously supported by the Nation.

Mr. Coolidge modestly failed to brazen that he was himself the author of the article in The Post on March 24, 1953, in which he advocating the establishment of a Presidential refuge from the heat of Washington's summer. For this purpose, Mr. Coolidge insisted to possessible elevation of 2,560 feet assures cool nights, and the government has already an investment there including a construction for a Presidential retreat. Economy and fitness are happily combined in the summer home for which Mr. Hope will no doubt be duly grateful.

We think that unprejudiced male citizens who saw and heard these women were convinced that they had been "conducted into the standards of the House of Representatives.

Our Contemporaries
WHO SHOULD GO?
The question of who should go to college presents one of the outstanding problems before American education. In 1980, a group of years ago, this question was scarcely brought of it. It was generally agreed not only those who could provide themselves with a degree of earning" should go to college. Every boy and girl was not expected to have the advantage of a college degree for a "privileged" class. We had inherited this conception from our foreign ancestors in England, Germany, and France, examples, before the World War; ninety-one per cent of the school population be fit or common school, and when they finished this school their education was complete. They were not permitted to enjoy the privilege of college.
About one hundred years ago we began the experiment of providing educational opportunities extending from the kindergarten through the middle school. That was rather a simple matter at that time to educate all children at public expense. It is an entirely diffusive process, because children have grown to unlimited bounds. Today there is serious questioning of the possibility of continuing the experiment without some qualifications. It is also a question, "who should be college?"
The answer of our democratic society has been that all should have the opportunity to go to college in their own country or to attend for all to members realizing their highest possibilities. One leading thinking thinker in American education has recently given another example of this realization: Every potential leader—and no one else. This answer raises several real problems which I can only maneuver through in my potential leaders? We certainly have no adequate technique at present.

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB;
In a narrow sense, a college is a dangerous place for the youth of American. If the student does not study well, he or she will be followed at home, his former friends, and the outside world as a whole, he is likely to emerge from the educational process sadly at loss to the proper entrance into the life-habits of living.
Educators have dispelled the more popular criticism of the modern university — that of discrimination between prospective students — by allowing every high school graduate of reasonable standing to enter, and by preserving such standards, that only the more worthy will remain.
THE DANGER OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION
As the college has grown to dominate public and private life, it has also grown to present a mode of education only, while effecting the other result.
