Professor Recommends Trade Papers for Study
Philadelphia, Jan. 5—A plea that high school libraries allot a larger portion of their funds for scientific reading material to the purchase of trade journal subscriptions was made today by Dr. H Hanor A. Webb, professor of chemistry at the George Peabody College for Teachers.
Speaking before the American Asociation for the Advancement of Science in session here, Doctor Webb stated his belief that trade journals rather than books on applied science should form the bulk of such reading material. Books where vocational guidance is practiced either formally or informally.
The trade journal, he believes, will provide more strictly current information, better descriptions and illustrations of the present practices in the industry, modern equipment, and finally a more human aspect of industry.

Chancellor Lists Buildings Needed in Next 10 Years
recommendations Included Science Laboratory to Supplant Snow Hall
The list of buildings included in the chancellor's biennial report represents the best judgment of years to come, and not an actual project, according to a report from the chancellor's office this morning. This professional list is tentative and subject to modification by the state legislature.

The Board is considering possible, but changes are probable in view of the fast increasing needs of the University. Over a long period, such as is provided by the 10-year plan, many of the improvements recommended in the report are expected to be achieved.
Science building accommodated
One of the important improvements

An addition to the present Chemistry building to take care of the increasing needs of modern chemistry, is listed. The School of Pharmacy is growing rapidly and it requires more space.
Many Improvements Suggested

A unit to be added to the Engineering laboratory, a student hospital to replace inadequate rented property, a music building, completion of the library, a new Journalism library, an office building library will necessitate the removal of the present building, and more dormitories for men and women.
In addition to the improvements at Lawrence, an additional unit is suggested for Bell Memorial hospital at the University of Chicago's laboratories, operating rooms and a new hospital unit to provide for clinical material for the enlarged enrollees in the school of Medicine.

It is explained that many persons who have received a blank in previous years will not be mailed on this year, due to the fact that under the higher exemptions granted, they are not required to file a return.
However, the fact that a person does not receive a blank form is not an indication that they do not need to file a return, and if there is any question, they should request blanks from the collector's office.
All returns for every class for the calendar year 1926 must be filed in the collector's office at Wichita on or before March 15, 1927. A 25 percent penalty is provided for those who are delinquent in filing returns.
