Registrars Meet to Fix Standards for State Schools
Conduct and Character Only Referred to by Use of Term "Honorable Dismissal"
"Candidates from other educational institutions will not be admitted to the University unless they can be readmitted to the school from which they come," said George O. Foster, registrar of state schools in Topeka, Feb. 2.
It was also decided at the meeting that honorable dismissal should refer to conduct and character only and furthermore that there should be given in the statement of honorable dismissal full mention of any probation, suspension or other form of bad conduct, the period of which restriction is not over when the papers of dismissal are issued, according to Mr. Foster.
Enthusiasm Is Great
"A great deal of enthusiasm was shown at the meeting," said Mr. Foster, "and it was moved to form a permanent organization to meet annually."
The officers elected were: E. F.
Engel, president; and Miss Jessie
MacDowell Macher, of K. C. A. C.
secretary.
Records Must Be Clean
The term, "statement of record," was decided at the meeting, and resulting results of a student's work in the classroom, and that this statement should in every instance contain all the important facts pertaining to the discussion, classification and scholarship.
Grand Canyon Film Coming
In particular, no partial or incomplete classroom record should ever be given without clear evidence that it is partial or incomplete; and also that such information should be given as will make the department more prepared, the number of exercises per week devoted to each course, and so forth.
Moore Will Explain Picture of Expedition
五 reeals of motion pictures, taken more than a mile below the surface of the earth in the bottom of the Colorado Grand Canyon, will be shown here next week by the course of the United State Geographical Survey.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1924
The pictures were taken last summer by the expedition sent by the government to make a geographical survey of the canyon. Dr. R. C. Moore, head of the geology department of the University, was the only geologist to make the trip and explain the pictures they had shown.
Shooting rapids, smashed boats, camp life, everything pertaining to such a trip will be clearly brought out. The picture is owned by the government and is extremely valuable, being the only one in existence. They have refused to sell the picture or sell the rights to release to any of the moving picture concerns. Much information about the picture has been shown to an audience of over two thousand. The picture will be open to the faculty, students and townpeople.

Weather Observations For Month of January Rather Unusual--Posey
First Thunder Storm Reporter During Past Month for Eight Years
Weather observations as made for the month of January, 1924, at the University, were rather unusual for the time, in J. Posey, university meteorologist.
There was a great variation in the temperature during the month. The maximum was 16 degrees below zero and the maximum was 59 degrees above. There were also great variations twice, over a period of twenty-four hours. This occurred on Jan. 6, when the temperature had a maximum of 41 degrees and a minimum of 2 degrees below zero; and on May 6, with a maximum of 40 degrees and a minimum of 3 degrees below zero, was reached. The low mark for the month was 16 degrees below zero, which is the coldest temperature in four years, according to Mr. Posey.
"The month of December was normally warm while the month of January was exceptionally cold. This illustrates the sudden changes which can be expected in this region of the country," said Mr. Posey.
The unusual feature of the month was a thunder storm on Jan. 9. It was the first occurring in January since 1916.
Sculpture Jackson Next
"Lost Cause" Panorama Speaks Story of South
(United Press) Eak 8 The
Atlanta, Florida—The head of Stonewall Jackson will be the next figure completed in the gigantic panoramic *Lost Cause* on Stone mountain here.
Gutzon Borgium, sculptor, who is directing the carving of the massive memorial in the huge granite rock, has started work on the second figure and hopes to have it completed by early summer. The head of General E. Lee said he has been completed as the first step in the program.
"I shall now start work on Stonewall Jackson's head," said the sculptor. "The first work will be to free the head by removing granite around the head area. When that is finished I shall work back into Lee's arm. He can stand and then begin work on the figure of Lee and his horse."
Lee will be mounted on his famous charger, "Traveler," by fall, said Borglum.

Philadelphia (United Press)—While the population of the United States has almost doubled in the last twenty years utility service is growing much more rapidly, accord- ing to the latest public service information committee.
In the last twenty years the business of the street railways has increased 168 per cent; the use of gas pumps has increased in the past per cent; phone demand 1,000 per cent, and electricity 2,000 per cent. More electricity is used in Philadelphia than in the entire United States twenty years ago, according to the committee.

Flint Talks on Advertising
THE KANSAN J. D. BOGGS, Cir. Mgr
"At the convention of advertising clubs held in Kansas City Thursday afternoon, the members present showed a considerable degree of interest in the subject of college training for advertising men by asking many questions of the four University representatives at the convention, said Prof. L. N. Hunt, department of journalism this morning.
"The Fundamentals of Advertising is Taught in the University," was the topic discussed at the convention by Professor Flint. Special stress was placed on the fact that the honest advertiser is the consumer's best friend. Three students from Dillaway, James O'Bryan, and John Montgomery, discussed different phases of advertising problems.
As a result of the part taken in the program by members of the department of journalism of the University, it is possible that the student is offered an advertising club to be affiliated with the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, as is the Kansas City club. Such a move is being considered by the department and students, according to Professor

Must Reduce Cost Selling
Voiland Addresses Merchants at Banquet
The necessity of reducing the cost of merchandising was the main topic of the address given by Freed Voland, Topeka merchant, at the dinner held last evening at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce as the concluding feature of the Merchants' Short Course. Mr. Volland based his course on terms of expedition as a merchant and a booster for his home city.
Mr. Volland pointed out in his address that the cost of selling goods has in many cases increased to such an extent that it equals the actual cost of production. He said that it will be one of the problems of the economy to reduce the cost of more chandling the goods which they handle.
Mr. Volland is also interested in sales organization. He believes that the sales people should be educated in their line of work in order that they may more efficiently perform their duties.
Yardstick Means End of Highbrows' Reign
(United Press)
Chicago, Feb. 9. —Measure your child's brains with a yardstick, not by the height of his forehead.
This is the advice of Prof. Howard R. Mayberry, of the department of psychology, University of Chicago after a laboratory experiment with 6,000 children.
"The child's brain power," Professor Mayberry said, "can be measured accurately (from the outside) by only touching it." He says the ears to the top of the head.
This measurement, according to Professor Mayberry, "gives the relative cranial capacity from which intelligence can be calculated."
"We never have lost a cent in making loans to women of the university," says the acting dean of women at the University of Indiana.
He adds that the relative size of the forehead—"highbrow"—has nothing to do with intelligence. Professor Mayberry has used twenty-six times of measurement and concluded the tip-of-head top of system is best.
Identification bands were placed on more than 25,000 birds last year by the U. S. Biological Survey as an aid to the study of the migrations and geographic distribution of various species of feather flyers.
Superior Student Made to Suffer by Class Boredom
Doctor Seashore Says Ideal Lies in Gradual Cultural and Intellectual Comradship
"What the good student needs is not more teaching but abjuration of the leash in which a false theory of equality holds him, freedom from the tyranny of authority and the intermale quixie of the incompetent, what he needs is opportunities for reading, observing and thinking," said Dr. Carl E. Seahore, Dean of the College of Nursing at State University of Iowa, in his address to the faculty here this afternoon.
"Mass production in education and recognition of the individual are two of the foremost problems in education today. They loom up large in contrast because they seem to involve only one method; thus, it is generally believed that mass methods stamp out the individual; or conversely, that recognition of the individual prevents the use of mass methods. But mass education is forced upon us, and the recognition of the individual with his personal capacities and capacity is going to be a persistent demand," said Dean Seashore.
Change From Older Methods
In regard to this situation Dean Searle emphasized that the extension of the privileges of higher education under reasonable restrictions is a good thing, and that it is possible to so radically change the way in which we teach methods of instruction to the methods demanded for mass education that we shall be able to deal with students in very large numbers more effectively than was ordinarily involved in the far famed small college.
"At the present time, from five to fifty per cent of the students actually admitted to each college in the United States are eliminated in the freshman year and also a large number in the sophomore year. These masses of students are sent back to home and community diagraphed and disheartened, and constitute not only an important component of the justification of human energies, hopes, and ambitions," continued Dean Seashore.
Propose Standardized College To remedy this defect in part at the source Dean Seahore said it was proposed that a highly standardized examination be offered to the students to ensure within sixty days of their graduation for the purpose of enabling them to secure tangible evidence of their fitness or lack of fitness for a college or a higher professional course.
"The absence of practical courses in the junior college is today the most conspicuous gap in our educational system. Between the high school and the senior college we have left a gap of a blen-cut period of about 4 years on handling facilities for the practical-minded student are offered."
"The finishing courses for the minor arts, skills and industries, will normally be provided for in the future through an extension of the city high school program. Students will work, making it equivalent to the European Gymnastics or Realschule.
"The departmental placement examination is a logical sequel to the college entrance examination in that it carries the analysis of the student into a specific department; and it is well known that students have varying preparation and aptitudes for these courses. That is why that these must be taken into accounting a reasonable organization of their courses.
A Sequel to Entrance Tests
"With this sort of information at hand, the institution cannot escape the responsibility for grouping the students into reasonable homogeneous units. Sectioning on the basis of ability is, however, of no avail unless instructors adapt their methods and requirements to the radically different levels of response. Each of the levels a different quant differed quality of response is rectal and cultural comradehip," he coured.
"The ideal academic atmosphere for a good upper classman is not that of organized teaching, but rather an approach toward intellect finished.
