Prominent Executive of Child Development Makes Talk to Group
Dr. Leslie Marston Lectures to Persons Interested About Youth Training
Dr. Leslie Mursten, executive secretary of the committee of child development, of the national research council at Washington, D. C., who was a co-chair of the Conference on Education of Parenthood in Kansas City last week, spoke Monday afternoon to faculty members, graduate students in education, and others interested on "Presentations in Child Development, Research."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1927
The main portion of Doctor Marston's lecture centered upon the wide and as yet undeveloped field of child research. Doctor Maraton explained that much interest has been displayed the physiology of the child, and comparatively little in the physical development which is obviously of as much or more importance. There have, however, of late, made many psychoanalytic studies in other psychiatric fields who are co-ordinating their work with that of child research, and thus are obtaining some practical results.
Doctor Marston explained the different views or methods of various scientists in regard to child research. Many scientists insist that the best results may be obtained by taking the very young child from its natural environment and raising it in a new and stable children of about the same age. Other workers in this field declare that the child should be left in the home and brought up under normal conditions with the mother trained to observe the changes in the child's development. Doctor Marston emphasized the need for the mother to show the slamming of a door, or a cross word from the mother would in some degree influence the development of the growing child. A handicap in this particular field of research has been the lack of adaptable subjects, it was explained. As yet experiments have been concerned with the impact these results are to be found from observance of the child from birth.
There is a wide field for this study of child research, Doctor Marston made clear, and more and more possibilities for scientists in any phase of scientific work to apply their knowledge to this subject and to give and receive.
Doctor Marathon ended the discussion by showing a map illustrating the centers of child research in the United States. Many may be as extensive and densely populated states, along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Annual Production of French Drama Will Be Saturday
Kenneth Cornell Has Lead Third Successive Year; Dolpha Smith Is Heroine
The twenty-sixth annual play, "Le Philoque sans Les Savoir" by Michel Jean Sechione will be given at the 2014 GALS in the Little Theater in Green Bay.
The department of French has given a different play each year since 1901, with the exception of one played repeat and one missed during the war year of 1918. The play for this semester will be a serious comedy or a "near" tragedy of the problems of the middle class of French people. Such problems as will be staged arise aboard the ship, in the battlefield and are a forerunner of the French realistic comedy of the nineteenth century.
Cornell Has Lead
Kenneth Cornell, who has played the leading part of the French play for the last two years, will take the lead as M. Vanderkirch, Sr. Prof. Eugene Gallo of the department of French plays at the University.

The law requires that the rigger or the law if he should survive.
Darling Has Part
On the wedding day, M. Vanderk meals all the situations philosophically. He pacifies his angry sister and persuades a man to not prevent the duel at the peril of his own life. M. Vanderk's self-command and magnanimity are put to a still greater role by a stranger, M. Desparville, played by Thomas Durling, who infers that the marriage is because the son is engaged in a duel with a stranger who is later found by young Vanderk.
Young Vanderkep appears with a bullet hole in his hat and proves to be the true son of his father by firing into the air. The wedding festivities, so nearly into sorrow, are resumed.

Project Adopted for Encouraging Religion Courses
Christian Society Meeting at St. Louis; Kansas U.
Is Represented by Board
To place one or more full-time faculty members in charge of courses relating to religious instruction, with a view to so strengthen the courses that the University of Kansas will teach at SUNY, we have hours from the School of Religion toward the A. B. degree, was approved by the executive committee of the United Society of the Christian Missionary Society at St. Louis, yesterday. A conference of Kansas board initiatives approved the proposition.
It was pointed out that the University of Missouri accepts 14 hours of school of religion credit from the Christian college there. Many other state schools accept about this same number of credits.
School Has Been Approved
According to Dr. S. S. Braden, who is in charge of Christian church student activities in Lawrence, the hope is ultimately to develop a school for the training of social and welfare workers for the Christian church. The plan is to train these workmen and help them in the Christian school, and to send them to the University for sociology, language and cultural subjects.
The development of a Bible School in connection with the University of Kansas has been under approval for some time. It is now the plan to enlarge the disciples of Christ Bible School by a subservience of the Christian church.
Five years ago a Kansas School of Religion was forged by four churches which maintain student pastors for pastoral work among University students of their denominations. This school obtained consent from the University faculty to accept the school of Religion in making up the 120 hours of credit required for an A, B, degree.
Church Authorizes Budget
Church Authorizes Budget
Last year the Christian Church in Kansas in its state conference authorized a budget of $300,000 to be used in the four state institutes of higher learning. They are the University of Kansas, Kansas State Agriculture College, College, Pittsburgh College and Emporia State Teachers College. The purpose was to carry on religious instruction and pastoral and recreational work among the students of their denomination.
The University of Kansas was granted an additional $100,000.
At the meeting yesterday the Kansas board representatives agreed to use Myrs hall for class rooms for the new school. It is believed that the building will furnish adequate space for all the classes.
No plans have been formulated a to the curriculum of the new school They will probably be decided upon by the faculty and a committee of the Kansas Board representatives of the United Christian Missionary Society. The new classes will probably be offered next fall.
Trees Planted on Campus
Landscape South of Blake Ha to Be Improved
The ground south of Blake hall is being made ready for the planting of about two hundred wild rose bushes which have been planted as independent of buildings and grounds. Plans are also being made for the planting of about one hundred wild crabs, one hundred redbud trees and numerous red haw and wild cherry.
This particular spot on the campus represents the only ground which retains the natural Kansas landscape, and in an effort to keep this a natural plot of ground, the plans were made by the landscape architects.
Several faculty members, and many of the alumni of the University have made known their desire for keeping this ground in its original appearance. The grass, which is the only natural cover on campus, can be cut but it is burned off once a year.
At other locations about the campus where trees have been removed, redbud trees of a larger variety will be planted.

Author's Visit Here Last Year Starts Search for Local People in Book
Sinclair Lewis' Novel About Clergy Selling Rapidly in Lawrence
"Sinclair Lewis, the artist, is dead.
He may rise again; he probably will,
but in this book he got so excited in
making faces at God that he forgot his
craftsmanship," says William Aiello
Lewis. "The book of Elmer Gatry,
the lesser杰利本著作, 'Elmer Gatry', in this morning's edition of the Kansas City Times.
"Sinclair Lewis stood in the pulpit of a Kansas City church last spring and defied God to strike him dead," said Mr. White, "and so far as Sinclair Lewis, the artist, is concerned, "I took him at his word."
God took time, near age when it became clear that her age when it became known to Lewis' new book would deal with the clergy and that much of the material was being gathered or his memorable trip to Lawrence and Kansas City last spring, the people of Kansas City and vicinity have been working together to word to "Elmer Gantry," Mr. Lewis says, "No character in this book is the portrait of any actual person," seeming to indicate a premonition on his part that people in and around Kansas City have apaed characteristics in his book of certain Kansas City residents.
The first printing of 100,000 copies tends to show the publishers' faith in the book's selling ability and, according to Franklin Watts, manager of the Book Nook, it will undoubtedly be the best selling novel of the year. The book went on sale this morning when the Book Nook the Book Nook had sold 13 copies.
The Dove, which will "ifly" *Monday morning*, will carry an article by Prof. Allen Crafton on "Elmer Gandy" which is said by members of the Dove staff to be even more harsh than the article by Mr. White.
There is a current rumor that in the beginning of his book *Sinclair Lewis* has portrayed a character which closely resembles a member of the Dove staff, and it is thought likely to be true, since Mr. Lewis came in close contact with some of the members last year in his visit here at the University, which he presented the Dove with $100 to help carry on its program.

Kansas Debaters Win Championship of Missouri Valley
Unanimous Decision Gained by Chumos and Evans Over Colorado Squad
By winning the debate with the University of Colorado debate squad Wednesday evening in central Administration auditorium, the negative squand of the University of Kansas at Kaiser Philips in the Missouri Valley debate conference.
The Kansas negative two-man team, composed of George Chunson, c'28, and Dave Evans, c'28, by an unanimous decision of the judge, won from the Colorado debate square, made up of Earl Wright and Isaac Keperley, the last Missouri Valley conference debate of the season.
According to E. C. Bucher, debate coach and professor of speech and dramatic art, this debate was one of the most hotly contested debates of the season. "Both the judges said it was a great show of this theatre," said Professor Bucher, "and they got down to serious business immediately. In this debate there was none of the sparring for openings through which to deal a technical battle with the audience." Prestige Bucher added: "Until the last rebuttal by Evans I was in doubt myself as to the outcome of this debate, but the judges finally returned an unanimous decision that the height of their form and doing excellently."
Kansas Has Little to Fear
There are only three other debate teams from which Kansas has anything to fear: the University of Notre Dame, Duke University, according to Professor Bushler. Each of these has three debates to go yet, and by winning all three a tie with Kansas would be formed. Each of the three debates are against strong teams, and according to Professor Bushler the third team should win all three of their debates a post-season meet with Kansas would be necessary.
There are seven schools represented in the Missouri Valley debate conference: the Universities of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, South Dakota, Colorado, and K. S. A. C. and Duke University. All of these debate four times, two affirmative debates and two negative debates, for valley standing. The teams have been defeated once, but Kannah has completed the schedule while the rest have a considerable number of debates yet to do.
Past Season Is Satisfactory
In speaking of the past debate season Professor Bucher aid, "The past season has been successful and satisfactory. The work done has been of great importance to this semester to imitate this year in getting unusually good material and I feel that the work could not have been better." According to Professor Bucher, the audience appreciation has been excellent this year. At Arkansas City, where he met, there were nearly one thousand present. At the University of Missouri there were nearly six hundred present. At Topaoka nearly six hundred besides the legislative bodies were present. At the Kansas State Livestock Association more than half of the delegates. In Lawrence the audiences have ranged from 290 to 500.
There will be a post-season debate between the Kansas negative team and the affirmative squad of the Northwestern. The women's negative team will debate with Park College, at Parkville, Mo., on March 24. A special team will debate with the Northwestern University debate team on March 25. The final decision will be solved: the prohibition amendment should be immediately repealed.
