"Teachers Should Be Able to Grasp Moral Situation"

Dean F. J. Kelly, Minnesota Educator, Talks Before Gathering of Students
"Every teacher who hopes to enter the field of high school teaching must in some way grasp the situation that the student faces in being young. It is a big job and one that demands a lot of commitment, and part of the教师," said F.J. Kelly, former chair of the School of Education here and now head of the department of education at Minnesota University, in addressing a group of education students in the auditorium building Wednesday afternoon.
"The youth of today, unquestionably, finds it more difficult to live straight, than did the youth of a generation ago. Unless we strive to develop an understanding attitude in regard to their problems; to support them; to prevent them from being caught up in the whirl pool of present day problems.
Names Youth's Problems
"Youth too, is independent, or far as thinking is concerned. They pride themselves on trying to think things out for themselves. As a result of this independent thinking more of our young people are seeking higher education. In proportion to our population, there as many students graduating from high school day, as compared with the classes 35 years ago.
"Three great factors contribute to the problems of our youth today These are:
(1) There has been a tremendous change in the power of control over young people.
(2) There has been a breakdown of long standing tradition as to those things which contribute to a good life
(3) There is a universal spread of knowledge. Subjects of conversation which were formerly taboos are known to all of our young people.
Reorganization Suggested
Judge Lindsay in his book, "Revolt of Modern Youth," has shown most convincingly that youth has a big problem and to solve the problem, warm, human understanding is necessary. This knowledge of our scheme of education might contribute towards a probable solution. At present, our high schools and colleges are criticized on the basis of being overly intellectual. We have stressed intellectual factors as the main emotional attitudes. Intelligence never has, and never will control human conduct efficiently. It is the individual who cares, who controls himself efficiently. Programs which include ideal systems of ideas, history should present famous characters in such a way, that youth can see how they lived and solved their problems, Roosevelt, for example, or Benjamin Franklin would have a lasting charm if they were presented as youth who realised definite victories.
Strength Secured by Practice
Agile, strength of purpose and decision is developed by making decisions. How much can we get youth to decide for himself? Strength is secured by practice in doing difficult things. We have almost completely neglected the theory of these primaries our present scheme of education."
"Leisure time should be spent on things that uplift. Here is where youth has a fight—many do not appreciate and seek out these things. If we make youth competent to most problems through idealism, a feeling of responsibility, a development of aesthetic tastes, then we will be able to lead him on to values that signify real satisfaction in life."

A collection of woods, the work of Tod Lindenmuth, Provincetown, Mass. will be on display in room 304, west administration building, beginning Monday, Nov. 8, according to news reports, to head of the department of design.
"It is a small but choice collection," Miss Ketcham said yesterday, "Most of the scenes portrayed are those in and around Provincetown."
The collection includes work in black and white, as well as in color, according to Miss Keteman. The blacks and whites show various methods of treatment, and the study of them is of particular value to students in design who are now study codifiers for Christmas designs.
The color prints are arrangements in two or three values of blues, with notes of dark and some touches of yellow.
"The woodcuts are distinguished in composition, and simple and direct in handling." Miss Ketchum said. "They were designed by a young technician of wood-bark printing."

Senate Prepares to Fight Seating of New Members
Right of Vare and Smith to Place in Congress Will Be Center
United States
Washington State - Preparations for one of the greatest tug-of-war the senate has ever known were being made today.
of Strife
(United Press)
One senator aims to unseat William S. Vare and Frank L. Smith, elected as senators from Pennsylvania and Illinois. Only the failure of the two to present credentials can prevent a senator's nomination to the famous Newberry case—and neither man entertains the slightest idea of forfeiting his claim to a sent. "Irregular Republican" senators are seeked a loophole whereby their sentiling will be delayed until a thorough investigation of their expenditures can be made.
Matter Rests With Senate
A vote on the question of disqualifying them as unfit to be United States seminars will be attempted. The constitution gives the senate the right to determine the fitness of its members.
Beta Chi Sigma Plans Programs
At the meeting of Beta Chi Sigma,
the psychology fraternity, on Nov. 1,
the plans for the programs through-
out the rest of the year were made.
The group of associate members were
asked to present the question "What
Think?" was discussed at great
length. The same subject is to be
discussed at the next meeting of the
fraternity.
Senate president holds that if proper election indemnities are presented, the elected man must be seated and that any investigation must be conducted afterward, with a vote on unsatisfying as the culmination of the proceeding. The motion to unseat New York State senator is received after a resolution characterized $195,000 as too heavy a primary expenditure.
Plan Based on Investigation
The plan to bar Vare, for whom $60,000 was spent in a $3,000,000 primary campaign, and Smith, nominated with an expenditure of about $150,000. The evidence unearthied by Senator Reed's campaign investigating committee.
The anti-Smith and the anti-Varese senators are expected to contend that the Reed evidence would underwrite the Reed evidence and to vote upon tph two men. This strategy would eliminate a committee to gather evidence. A two-thirds vote is necessary for approval.
Vare and Smith are scheduled to be seated in the seventieth congress, which in the ordinary course of events should convene in December, 1927.

Portrait Painter Informally Talks to Art Students
Leonard Richmond Chose Jayhawker Beauties for Yearbook in 1926
The value of individuality and of expression of personality in works of art was stressed by Leonard Richmond, noted English painter, in an informal talk to students of the School of Fine Arts in central Administration unitarium, at 2:30 p. m., yesterdays. "Be what you are," be natural, and keep going forward. Whatever you do, be natural toward yourself. There is something ar greater in art than mere beauty." Sympathy with the modern view of art as a means of sincere self-expression was urged by Mr. Richmond. You may go to an exposition and see pictures you do not understand," he said. "Do not laugh at them. Study he life of the artist and his intentions then he produced the paintings he intended for your own opsonation usually disappears."
Heroism and adherence to conventional standards of art, according o Mr. Richmond, are of little value. Let to achieve one's own personality n art, he pointed out, is extremely difficult, for the individual is subconsciously affected every minute of the time by outside influences.
Faithful imitation of nature is of an actual value than one's own creation of themes with nature as the stimulus, he said. That American and amadian art today is faithful and imitating was his expressed opinion.
Mr. Richmond is an internationally mown portrait painter, and is a member of the Royal Society for British artists the Royal institute of Royalages, and the Patrai Society He was the beauty section for the 2023 Jayawk, which was awarded rat place in the national content for alluge yearbooks.

City of Bath Visited by Many Travelers, Says Margaret Lynn
English Professor in Lecture Tells of English Scenes of Interest
The old watering city of Bath, the gateway to the southwest of England, a sill place of interest to visitors, was a place called the English, said in her lecture on "The English Scene" Wednesday in Fraser nail. Eighteenth century literature took much of its inspiration from this ancient and reliable report, Miss Lymn added.
The most noticeable features of cural England, she continued, are the beautiful sections of the sea and sectional individuals. By means of clips and pictures she had taken while in England last year, Miss Lynn wrote a book about the English scenery and custom.
From Bath down into the Laran Joone county the inhabitants are noted for their love of gardens. No garden is larger than the complate without its garden spot at the end of an enclosure or lane. The Jehddar country is noted for its houses, and Wells for its ancient II-era homes, with books chained to the ables.
It is not only Americans these days who tour from Stormford-on-Avon to the moors, Miss Lynn declared. The English themselves are finding their local spots of interest, as they have never done before.
Miss Lynn's lecture is one of four which will be given during the year yr English professors or other speakers in the department by the English department.

party of the year are being com-
pleted, according to committees
in charge of the event.
"Everyone must be in conture, but masks are not to be worn," according to Jimmie Eldridge, e 27, charmingly.
