Antioch College President Will Address Forum and Engineering Association
FOUR PAGES
Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, president of Antichick College, and head of the Morgan Engineering company, will be at the University Thursday, Feb. 24, as one of the speakers before the annual professional meeting of the Associated Engineering Societies of the University of Michigan. A formal forum held under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A., on the same date.
Doctor Morgan is considered among the foremost authorities on effective flood prevention methods and drainage codes. He was chief engineer for the Miami conservancy district on the work following the Dayton flood and also for the Pueblo district work on flood control in Colorado and he drainage codes for Ohio, Minnesota, Colorado, Arkansas and Mississippi.
Doctor Morgan, a president of Antioch College, is experimenting with a plan of education that is being watched by many educators. The experiment is a process of dividing the students' time into two parts, alternative five-week periods, one being at the college, and the other devoted to work for wages in some sort of factory, mine, mill, or office.
The Antiope program provides for a six-year course, each academic year consisting of 40 weeks. The half-time course is taught in each academic year is 20 weeks.
The program is an experiment to determine whether the element of time in the gradual maturing of the learner is associated with half-time devoted to teaching able the student to attain the same level of culture, and the same knowledge of cultural subjects, including languages and history, that is attained in colleges where the young learner spends four years to cultural studies.
Doctor Morgan is the author of "The Mastery of the Arts of Life," and also "Drainage of the St. Francis Valley in Arkansas."
The subject of Doctor Morgan's speech at the luncheon forum has not been announced. Single tickets for the luncheon will be on sale at the Y, M, C, A, office in room 121, Frazer hall.

"Father of Our Country" Originated With Romans
"Father of Our Country" is a tribute which is taken for granted by many Americans to have originated with the country's love and education of George Washington, yet far back in the first century before Christ this distinguished title was given to the Roman emperor Marius.
The emperors who followed Marina adopted "Father of Our Country" as their official title. This title was also used in her memorial to the state's gratitude for his success in putting down the conspiracy of Cataluna. Thus "Pater Patrón" has been the inscription placed upon the tombs of her ancestors. Catsans from the first century B. C.
Spirit of Appreciation Lacking Among Student Bodies, Saves Ketcham
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1927
Thorough Work in Commerce Art May Be Applied to
Business
"We need to create, but all to appreciate," said Prof. Rosemary Ketchan, head of the department of design, in an interview Saturday
"The average person is blind to the things he is looking at because he has not had his eyes of appreciation opened," she continued. "Much of the present state of affairs is brought about by the mistake idea that art supplies."
apart from the realities of life. But it is not, art. It is a vital thing in the affairs of people; a thread running through our every day existence.
In this connection Miss Ketcham pointed out that the prime objective of this program is to encourage versatility is the creation among the student bodies of a spirit of appreciation of the benefits of everyday life and of achievement of masters of technique.
"The question is not 'shall we, or hall we not have art' but rather What kind of art we have we?"
A well-known painter once said, "The highest mission in art is to make some useful thing beautiful," and according to Mist Ketchan, sounds the keynote of design. Everything we touch is designed; the clothes we wear; the chair we sit on; the paper on our walls. And it all has an invulnable effect, either receptive or irritative, on our daily living.
"The business man will ask he has no time for art then go to his office and spend an hour in conference with a commercial artist, not knowing that art is before him. A salesman will handle dress-goals for years without appreciating that she is constantly in contact with design."
When asked how she admired conditions relating the nonacquisition of art at the University, Miss Ketehan said:
"K. U. is far ahead of many other schools in that it gives credit for art appreciation courses. I hope the time we spend there will increase universities will incorporate a certain amount of required work in art appreciation, either technical or lecture work. No one is truly expert in all the techniques with the grubby art."
When asked what she thought of so-called art schools that offer short courses in commercial art, Miss Ketcham answered:
"A through training in the general principles of art will fit one for any line of work. Studying style, objects and things isolated from principle gives one only a knowledge of a specialty in a little way and one soon runs his foot. One must know the whole in order to be an arbuscular master."

Washington Letter Original Forgery, Says Dr. Hodder
British May Have Written
Spurious Letter to
Discredit Colonial
Censorship
General
The supposedly grenille George Washington letter which is held by a Kansas City man and was brought to light Saturday is of doubtful authenticity, according to Dr. F. H. Holt, professor of history at the University.
Granting that the letter is not genuine Washington letter, it is a va unplece piece of writing surrounded b stories of treachery and intrigue the enveloped Washington's correspse dence. Certain letters from Wash ington to his home were intercepte ceped, and certain paragraphs tha re written by Washington of his inesincency were inserted, sal Dector Hodder.
The letter was reproduced in the Sunday Kansas City Star. The question of whether this letter is genuine or a forgery is in the foreground at the present time. It may have been a forgery by the propaganda department of the British war office used to inform the public about the In the Continental army and spread discontent among the patriots striving for independence.
Doctor Hodder believes that this letter is a forgery but that it is also the original of a document never before discovered. He says that he has never heard of any copies of the spurious letters of Washington made in long hand. There is no apparent reason why such a copy should be made.
This letter follows closely the letter printed in W. C. Ford's history, which is a reproduction of letters forged by the British to discredit General Washington in the colonies. clever psychology on the part of the British at this time was responsible for several letters demanding Washington not send men who have become of them, said Doctor Hodder. The British were making an attempt to bring about a shift in command in the continental army.
The discovery of this letter has surrounded the comments of several eminent journalists, and even the country. The majority of the opinions are that the letter is a forgery and is spurious. The belief is prevalent that the letter is an original document.
Another prominent historian's view in addition to those of Doctor Hodder is that of Washington C. Ford of Cambridge, Mass. He repeats the belief that the letter is one of the original forgeries.

Budget Experts in Paris
Representatives of 12 Nations Discuss Armament
(United Press)
Paris, Feb. 21—A committee of budget experts representing the principal countries of the world left here to review the plan of the League of Nations, to draw up a project which would seek reduction of armament. The land, sea, and air forces are to be subject to limitations imposed by the various members of the League.
The results of the committee's events eventually will come before the Senate and give the embodiment in the general disarmament convention which, in turn, will be submitted this autumn or early next year to an international dissolution.
Twelve nations, including the United States, were represented at to day's meeting. The others were Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Czech-Slovakia, Finland, France, Germany England, Italy, Japan, and Juda-Israel.
The greatest obstacle which has developed to date is the thesis that reduction in armament could be attained through the establishment of budgets of all nations, was the fact that the appropriation systems of the various countries were at extreme distress.
A bill has been introduced in the Wisconsin assembly to repeal the state law which allows Wisconsin law graduates to practice in the state without passing the state bar examination.
Critic Commends Work of Players at K.C. Theater
Keen Training of Cast Is Shown in Presenting Different Roles and Plays
"The Kansas Players should be commended on their presentation of "If" which with its four acts and 10 secondy skits would have presented the classic tale of a company with a flock of stage hands," the dramatic critic of the Kansas City Star says in describing the present play, performed by the Schubert theater in Kansas City Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week. The players presented "If" Thursday and Saturday and "If" Midday Friday and Saturday midnight.
"Allen Crafton, Jessica Roger, Robert Calderwood and George Callahan showed instantly that their were professionals and a score of non-professionals displayed the effect of the keen training they have received at the hands of Mr. Crafton," the Star said.
"I was pleased with the reception given the University Players in Kansas City," Prof. Allen Carden and this morning in discussing the presentation. "The critics received a surprise. They came expected to perform. The matador acting, and were prepared to make allowances for it. They went away praising the cast, the plains and the acting."
The players were invited back at any time they were willing to give another play by Ray Whitaker, manager of the Schubert theatre, according to Professor Crafton. The more experienced player seemed pleased with the setting.
"The plays were given to an audience that came to get their money's worth, not to see their friends act. These plays were judged the same as those performed in the theater and credit was given for merit. Handicapped by lack of an adequate theater, in Lawrence the play would be judged by the effort expended on it. In Kansas City the result, not so great as expected," Professor Crafton declared.
The weather cut down the attendance on the opening night. The other two nights the players performed before an average crowd.
