Instrumentation Unusually Good at First Rehearsal
The first rehearsal of the University symphony orchestra held last Thursday night discharged the need of ensemble practice. This is to be expected however in a first practice of this sort. New members constitute 40 percent of the personnel of the orchestra.
The instrumentation this year is unusually good but Professor Knauer steiner, director, is still desirable of occurring琴 and bass players. The instrumentation requires the orchestra and anyone who has had any experience with this instrument is urged to see Professor Knauersteiner at once. The University has two bass violis that may be used without charge by anyone please to play in the orchestra.
Doctor Tracy Directed Summer Marine Survey
The next rehearsal will be held Tuesday afternoon unless a change in time appear in Monday's Kansan.

Center of Education Is Moving Westward, Says Watter C. Wells
Latest Figures Reveal Point to Be Advancing 60 Miles Each Decade
Walsh Hall Woman, Sept. 28 — The center of higher learning is moving westward, so far as the distribution of college students throughout the United States goes. The geographical point that is the center of our higher learning has been jumping west at the rate of about sixty miles every 10 years since 1580, and is now estimated to reach over one hundred miles into eastern Illinois, according to computations made by Walter C. Cells of Whitman College, here.
Mr. Fells shows that in 1920, when the last carnus figures were gathered, the educational center of population of Baltimore was in Indiana. Judging by the trend of the past few decades, he places the center for 1925 at 13 miles south of Urbana, IL, and by 1930 he figures that it would be 14 miles north, headquarters 30 miles farther west.
According to these estimates the center of education is moving west at a swifter rate than the center of general population, since the population center for 1920 was 77 miles farther southeast.
Both the population and learning centers still have some 600 miles to travel before reaching the center of Kauai. The roads are almost on the Kauai-Kaunaia line.

Resolutions From World Conference Displease Coolidge
European Attitude Makes American Entrance in Geneva Court Unlikely
Washington, Sept. 29—The United States government is displeased with the World Court and developments in Geneva.
President Coolidge told his associates today that he was discouraged by the resolutions of the General world conference on reservations on United States adherence to the court. At the same time he fell doubt concerning the League of Nations plan for a general disarmament conference within the next 12 months.
The president cannot understand why the members insist on a general arms conference which has little chance of success and refuses to consider the American plan for effecting the war against Iraq or the United States, government does not want to become entangled in European political problems and involved in European land disarmament. It is equally unwilling for small naval states of Europe to determine the naval limitations for the United States.
President's Attitude Shared
This attitude, which the state, war and navy departments share with the states, is strongly used in reports from the arms delegate to the Governor preliminary arm conference.
President's Attitude Shared
A "general" sub-committee of that commission is mulling about in European political problems without grasping military issues and with small end states holding the balance of power. The American plan for a more advanced nation that failed at adequate consideration, according to these reports.
Regarding the Geneva resolutions or the Senate reservations to the World Court adherence, the administration has decided to wait for replies from the Senate before determining whether such resolutions must be passed on by the Senate.

Kansas High Schools Place New Emphasis on Visual Instruction
Survey by University Bureau Shows 50 Per Cent Own Movie Machines
Kansas high schools are rapidly adopting methods of visual instruction in their curricula, according to Elsworth Dent, secretary of the bureau of visual instruction at the University. A survey that is being completed by the bureau shows that nearly half of the schools possess moving equipment and that at least two-thirds of them use glass or film slides.
Out of 379 questionnaires filled out and returned to the bureau by high school superintendents, 160 reported equipment for moving pictures and equipment for using slides. Eighty-five stated that they were preparing to purchase equipment, while only 46 made no plans for this type of instruction.
The value and extent of the service is shown by the fact that slides and pictures distributed by the department were shown, the movie shows, Mr. Dent said. "The distribution of visual aids was nearly twice as great during the ancient period."
The bursar is sending out films and slides of an educational nature to schools in Kansas and surrounding states. The department maintains a film and glass slide motion picture service, an exhibit and chart service.
A new catalog listing all the material available at the bureau has just been received from the state printer.
