SIX PAGES
During the first year about five Kansas towns took advantage of the service, but the increasing interest in professional Icemen led to some professional Icemen taken the following year, he said. A number of towns are using morning and afternoon programs in their schools in aid of special needs students on the regular Icemen courses.

regular talent, and the increasing de-
mand for such programs this year
Mr. Keeler believes, indicates the
value which is being placed upon leu-
cemis as a part of the educationa
program of the Kansas schools.

Nora Siler Discusses Subject in Talk to Students of Economics
Porto Rican Condition Is Greatly Improved Since U. S. Possession
"Porto Rico has made a more striking advancement since it became a possession of the United States in 1898 than almost any other country in the world in the same length of time," said Miss Nora E. Siler, secretary of the advanced standing committee that led the project, which classes in room 202 west Administration building yesterday afternoon at 1:30.
"There is quite a contrast between illiteracy of 85 per cent in 1898 to a rate of 55 per cent now in the country and the fact that the population of Miss Sieser, "and it due to the work in the United States officials, and the use of the sugar duty for education. There are now schools in every town in the state, and there are at least a high school education."
The death rate has been reduced from 42 out of every 1000 in 1898 to 21 of every 1000 in 1935.
When the Jones Bill in Congress granted citizenship to the people in Porto Rico in 1917, the right to establish prohibition was given the people. It was adopted and Porto Rico was dry before the Eighteenth amendment.
Every town has electricity with more potential power than they need in waterfalls throughout the country. Smart business establishments are seen everywhere. The American system of money and the English language is much more difficult to rovere Rome more better and there are a greater number than in Kansas.
"the curse of Porio Rocco is the lack of industries as an outlet of the seasonal labor and the absence of private ownership of land," declared Miss Siler. "The average per capita income is $204 and 15 per cent of the people own the land that the others own. Small farms are rarely ever seen."
"Disease, while partly cooked, still takes its toll in the form of tropical fever and hookworm. The only pure water supply in the country sections s the juice of fresh economies. This is delicious and delicious, however," he said.

The deadline for junior and senior Jayhawk glasses has been set for Jan. 10, according to Clifford Anderson, editor.

We would like to have the greatest shoes in before Christmas" he continued.
Last year's senior section contained pictures of 502 seniors, the junior section containing 66. It is hoped by the editor that more seniors will hand in their glasses this year than last. "We should have at least 150 more junior pictures than were in last year's book." Anderson said.
The junior glasses will be identical with the senior pictures instead of using snapshots as used in the 1926 movie *Baby Face*. They are by six inches, and have the individual's features of same proportions to assure a uniform appearance of the section. Space will be reserved for the camera; they are turned in, up until Jan. 10.
