University Bureau Acts as Advisor to School Boards
Practical Assistance Giver for More Efficiency in Educational Equipment
More than two million dollars spent on school buildings and equipment in Kansas during the past five years was expended under the direction and advice of the Bureau of School Service, the Research of the University. This Bureau conducts the education, and is under the direction of Prof. F. P. OBrien.
No. 27
The Bureau acts as an imperious, non-political adviser to various boards of education over the state, showing education problems so that they may stimulate greatest efficiency. This gives the school boards an unbilled, outside view on a local problem. Thus, men in the school system must know their school conditions put their knowledge to practical use that the state school system as a whole may be bettered. No charge except railroad fare and no charge is made by the Bureau for its advice.
The Baron has a three-fold gift. The largest possible benefit to taxpayers for money spent on school buses is the grant given the University by state funds, and the most thorough elementary training possible for future University students.
When feasible, a complete survey of the existing curricula and equipment is made, and a program is outlined covering a period from fifteen to twenty years. This survey is issued in printed form and is distributed to other schools that they may profit by the sugmaries offered
When such a complete survey is not possible or necessary, someone is sent to the district or town for a short informal conference. More than twenty were aided last year according to Professor OBrien.
The Bureau has a score card for a model school building, containing a possible 1,000 points. The buildings examined are rated by this standard to show how nearly they approach the ideal, and where they fail. The Built-ins test includes a range of options offered, how they correlate, where duplication is evident, and suggests changes and improvements that will aid the high schools.
When the installed of a junior college is contempled, some member of the Bureau makes suggestions so to the standards to which such a college conforms, too. The Bureau has advised raising the high school standards before undertaking the financing of a junior college, so that not only the expenditure but sometimes the saving of it is influenced through the medium.

Council Discusses Lax Enforcement of Cap Regulation
Baughman and Baker to Be Fined Six Hours Credit on Pleading Guilty to Charge.
to Charge
Disaffection with the present enforcement of the freshman cap regulations was expressed last night by the Men's Student Council, meeting in regular session in Green Hall. The padliers deputised by the men's chapter "KR club," have been too lazy in using the new paddles with which they were supplied, members of the council agreed. A large number of freshmen, they say, finding that little punishment is meted out for violation of the rule, have appeared on the campus without the prescribed banners, openly boned of it. Thus, the sequel is incidentally undermining school spirit.
Robert Baughman and Joe Baker,
University students arrested on East
Parkside Avenue, are on
charges of drunkenness, are to be
delivered at six hours of University
school.
Unless Saxheim and "K" club members here make a better showing with their paddles, it is expected that some other organization will be permitted to assist them. Babies mentioned here right for this duty were the same class, sophomore class, Ku Kus, a possibly the student council.
In the city police court last Friday, Baughman was fined $100 and costs and served to 30 days in jail but was interparoled, excusing him from the jail term. The specific charges against him were drunkenness and possession of liquor. Baker was found $800 and costs on charges of assault and battery with the peace. The women students arrested with them were released.
The council also voted to set the date for the election of class officers as Oct. 14. A constitutional rule provides that class officers shall be elected on or before the second Thursday of October.
Cooperation of Henry Zimmerman, as representative of the School of Education, and Albert Zimmerman, School of Pharmacy representative, was announced. Zimmerman was elected to fill the place of Vai Mat Pharma, the School of Pharmacy, which is no longer in the University. The School of Education has never before been represented officially.
Money Talks at W. A. A.
Summer Experiences Relater by Members
Many of the summer's experiences in earning money were brought to light at the first meeting of the W. A. N. Society afternoon in Robbins Hall, where the association decided last spring that each member should have the experience of earning money during the summer and should bring at least a part of her "exposure money" and spend the rest of it, at the first meeting this fall.

New Drying Cabinet for Preparing Drugs Installed for Chemists
Equipment Will Make Possible Experiments With Forms Little Known
A new drying cabinet for earring drugs has been installed by the School of Pharmacy in room 104. Chemistry building. It will be used for preparing drugs obtained from the University gardens and from the territory around Lawrence. As the cabin is not designed to handle high temperature and speed of drying can be regulated, more efficiency can be had in earring dresses used in experiments.
The cabinet will also make possible more experiments with drums. little known at the present.
One of the most important experiments will be wide with the digitizer, or forgeon, according to L. D. Havenhill dean of the School. This dean has been a pioneer in the first issue of the United States Pharmacopus, 1829, but so far no official method of preparing or preserving it has been found. As digitization is one of the most important heart stimulants, a knowledge of great value to the modern science, according to Dean Havenhill, some experimental work was done last year but it was incomplete because of a lack of equipment. Now, however experiments can be carried on more
It is expected that 60 pounds of the drug will be produced in the University garden this year. If a good way to preserve it is found, the University probably will supply all the hospitals of Kansas with the drug.
Experiments will also be conducted with other fresh plants, obtained in our lab, and about fifty plants, and about fifty others are found in the neighborhood.
The Ribbon Day yield by the electrical engineers of the University was a big success if the number of gold ribbons worn on the campus, and the activity around the booth of Martin hall can be taken as an indication.
The drug gardens are located on the south slope of the campus, west of the animal house.
Every student in the department of electrical engineering was given a small gold ribbon from the booth in order to identify him as an electrical and to enable the electrical engineer better to learn better with each other.

Druggists Observe Week
Prof. Lloyd Boughton to Speak at Pharmacy School
Frost, Lloyd Boudreau, will speak tomorrow at the regular seminar of the School of Pharmacy on the importance of obnamery week, which will be advertised uniquely. Oct. 11 to 15.
Exhibits to be shown in Lawrence next week are now being prepared by the school. Not only will exhibit be shown at the University, but also in Lawrence stores. Pharmacy Week is not a week observed only by the schools throughout the county sponsored by many other organizations including the national associations of wholesale and retail druggists.
"Pharmacy is a profession and is entitled to recognition as a profession," Prof. Karl Rottliff, state drug analyst, said. "If it were only commercial work, we would not have so high standards in our school of pharmacy." "We are careful to raise the standards continually, as we are now."
The first National Pharmacy Week was observed last year. The event was started primarily as an educational move, to place before the public the idea that pharmacy is a profession and not a mere commercial scheme, as some people have been led to believe.
"The public knows that pharmacy is a profession, but they sellmium stop to think of it as such. Pharmacy needs to make them stop and think."
