Educational System Studied to Improve Efficiency; Dr. OBrien Heads Department
Yes, it's Leap Year. The "Little Minister" over in the Alumni office is holding his hat expectantly. Of course he's only a rubber "Married" stamp, but he knows it's Leap Year, and is expecting a busy season.
The survey will include such problems as new building, new school policy, raising of money to carry out any building, efficiency of the present system and even the correct use of equipment erected. The report, when completed will give the board of education, definite and complete plan to present to the voters of the city who, asking them to vote in the advised changes. The reasons, as given, will be clearly stated by people who are authorities on the subject and can make such a report in a concise manner which will be of great value in helping the board secure the jobs.

Before the new Memorial High School was built here in Lawrence, Doctor O'Frien has made a complete set of classrooms in the future. This included the study of the best locations, geographical as well as sites available; the size of the building; location of the gymnasium; assembly, gymnasium, and corridors.
Other Institutions help Doctor O'Brien has selected Prof. C. V. Williams, of the State Agricultural College, to help him in the study of the Dr. H. G. Lull, of the Emporia State Teachers College, will handle the curriculum needs. H. P. Smith, of Lawrence, will have charge of the compiling and analizing of school costs and school support.
When a survey is completed, a definite record of what and how changes are needed and may be made, as well as what they will cost pay for them. This involves many weeks or sometimes many months 2 careful work on the part of the person making the survey but when it is completed the report itself is all worked out in a very easy way. Pictures and diagrams are used to help simplify the final document and make it effective. The state furnishes the trained minds to do the work, and the city pays only for the clinical work of the persons while on the problem.
The high schools all over the state are beginning to appreciate the worth of the work being done by this department of the University and the school surveys all over the state had to be declared during the past year.
Students Asked to Aid "I hope that the University students will become more thoroughly acquainted with this work so that they may have a better understanding; they may save their own communities money by advising them of the good to be derived from sending in to the bureau of school service and having a survey made before building a classroom," said Doctor OBrien.

DR. CHARLES M. THOMPSON
Noted University Dean Will Address Students in Coming Convocation
harles M. Thompson Is Famed in Business, Economical, and Writing World
Dr. Charles M. Thompson, who will talk before the all-University convoction Tuesday, Jan. 22, is dean of Business Administration and director of the Bureau of Business Research at the University of Illinois. He received his bachelor's, master's and doctor's degrees from that institution.
There are 2,100 students enrolled in the School of Commerce and Business Administration at Illinois. Despite the fact that this school was not established until 1915, it is the second largest school of the University of Illinois. His talk at the University will likely cover the growth and expansion of this school of which he is dean.
When Dean Thompson receives his doctorate at the University of Illinois in 1911 he took up the duties of an instructor at his alma mater. Within six years he had received six promotions in educational rank as a law professor, and in 1924 he received the Spanish-American war, serving with the Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He delivered numerous talks at Camp Grant, III, and directed several war drives at the University of Illinois. When Dean Kinkey became acting president in 1920, Dean Thompson was given a deanship, and he served as economist, educator, author, and historian. His ability to analyze and interpret economic conditions has resulted in many calls for him to address business men. He is a director of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce and is a member of its important service committee. He was recently reappointed a member of the Illinois Educational Commission.
University Senate Approves Schedule for Coming Finals
In June, 1921, an honorary degree of LLD. was conferred upon him by Mackingum College, Ohio. President Warren G. Harding was similarly honored at the same time.

Are you familiar with the site of the campus hitching rack? No, in this case "hitching" doesn't refer to anything matrimonial. The rack itself is gone, and we have only the site.
Hitching Racks Gone Only Old Site Remains
When there was a concert in Robinson gymnasium a few years ago it was common for the hitching rack out in front to be the most congested spot on the campus. Drove in from the country. Drove in from the country. While the members of the family plied out of the surrey and stretched their tired limbs.
And on the night of the "formal"
no one was prouder than John,
as he handed his best girl down from
the shining seat of his red-wheeled
rubber tired hurry. The outfit was
complete to the last detail, and the
new flowered rosettes on the bride
were the pride of his heart.
In 1920 it was decided that the hitching rack, which had gone out of one some time before, was the most dangerous on the campus and it it removed.

Prof. Seba Eldrdige to Publish Sociology on Political Action
Marked by Courage, Originality Logic and Lucidity, Says E. A. Ross
This book will become part of Lippincott's Sociological Series, edited by Edward Cary Hayes, professor of sociology at the University of Illinois. It is described as "A naturalistic interpretation of the labor movement in relation to the state."
"Political Action" is the title of a book recently written by Seba Elrdridge, associate professor in the department of sociology of the Unit.
Professor Eldridge's book represents a systematic application of principles of psychology and sociology in the elucidation of some of the more fundamental political and psychological issues. These problems pertain to the relationship between economic classes, especially the capitalists and wage-earning classes in the United States; to the defects of representative government and to the evaluation of the careers in social and political development.
Economists' Ball Proves Success in Every Way
Professor Franklin H. Gildain, head of the sociology department of Columbia University, says that "it is a book rich in accuracy of scientific knowledge, common sense, and frequent occurrence of felicious and illuminating phrases." According to E. A. Ross, head of the department of sociology of the University of Wisconsin, Professor Eldridge's Political Action "is marked by courage. What people will need to read it on account of the light it throws on the attitude of labor toward government and they will enjoy it because of its rare literary style."
The first annual "Economists Ball" was held at Ecke's hall last night. The number of tickets was limited to 125 to avoid crowding the floor and only majors in the department were allowed to attend. The decorations were well worked out and showed that a great deal of fun was involved. The music was furnished by "Brick" English's "Kansans." Due to the success of the party, it will probably be repeated next year.
Yale, Cornell, and Columbia are cheering because the lakes are covered with ice. Skating and ice hockey are sports in these northern schools.
Baltimore College Courses Develop Religious Leaders
changed his mind and went on writing. The matron nodded kindly and motioned him to a chair.
Finally a man came, made easier to the one who had arrived last, and shook hands with him. He said a child was crying in the child again. The boy arose and picked up his cap. Turning to the other boy, he shook hands with him. Then she saw that the lonesome little fellow watched the passing people alone.
Strange Coincidence or Fate Kind to Lonesome Mute Boys with Long Wait in Station
In a few minutes they had become acquainted. They sat most of the time watching the crowd, but not too often. They also attract the attention of the other and rapidly made gestures to him on his hands. Thus they sat through the afternoon, not miring, because they had each other to talk to.
Church Representative Tells Interested K. U. Women Of Work Offered In School
The school is supported by a group of Baltimore men who are trying to meet the need of the college girl who desires an experimental piece of graduate work, and experience in church theory, according to Miss Weiss.
Work Entirely Personal
Finally a Red Cap led a little boy of about his own size into the enclosure and said a few words to the matron. The eyes of the little fellow in the chair glowed suddenly, and he picked up a pencil and wrote his name. He made a sign as though starting to say something on his hands, then
"Building of religious attitudes and a world fellowship with God, and the implication of social ideals, are the main purposes of our school," said Miss Mary Weisel, dean of the new Graduate School of Religion, associated with the Presbyterian church, of Baltimore, Md." However, membership in a church is not necessary to admission."
He was a lonesome-looking little follow, not because of the expression on his face but because he was mute while all the folk about him went their way with chatter, laughter and jests. He sat in a big wicker chair at the matron's bureau of Union Station in Kansas City and watched the crowds go by. Now and then he glanced at the little girl in another chair as though he would like to watch her turn to watch to the people again.
The work is entirely personal. The student body is at present limited to fifteen. An A, B, degree or its equivalent is necessary to admission, and applicants are received only on interview. Each year Mice Missed travels girls who haveapy and interviewed girls who have shown their interest in the school.
If they wish, girls may be entirely self-supporting "while taking their work, by doing social work in a com-munity" (29), or twenty nationalities are represented.
The faculty is chosen from John Hopkins University, Morgan College (colored), Peabody Institute of Music, Maryland Institute of Art and Design, the hospital, social workers staff and the ministerial staff of the city.
The school provides a unique opportunity, according to Miss Weisel, for all of the work is experimental. The students are worked out by the faculty, the board and the students together, never separately. We began with one course of subjects this fall, and then we three times already," she said.
Offer Variety of Courses
"Girls who apply for admission are expected to have had courses in biology, psychology, sociology, and a variety of courses. Some such as paganey and dramatics, and sacred music, aim at interpreting the aesthetic life of the church, which has to a great extent been lost.
"Other courses are interpretation of Biblical literature, craftwork, history of religions, comparative religions, and problems of racial contact.
This last course is taught by members of the Department."
Miss Weisel spent Friday on the campus, interviewing girls who were interested in the school. She left last night for Iowa, but if any girls on the campus wish to interview her, she will return. Miss Marie Rusx, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. has her forward addressing.
Prepare for Educational Work "The first year, girls serve as members of the staff of the Guild house, and the second year as secretaries or directors of religious education in various churches. The whole project is built with the idea of preparing girls for churches as instructors in departments of religious education in colleges, and also for directors of social and religious centers" she finished.
Cuts Must Be Removed Gym Instructors Warn
Warning that those who continue to cut gymnasium classes are piling up grief for themselves, has been given by James Frazey, instructor of the freshman classes. Many students believe that they may stay in school and wish and still get a passing grade. Lists of those who have cuts to make up have been posted at the gymnasium for the freshmen. According to the bulletin, all cuts must be made up by Jan. 14, or if a mistake regarding the number of cuts has been made, the student must see the instructor.
Sophomore men will not have their cuts posted. The students are supposed to have enough interest in their well-being to inquire about the number of cuts to their credit, Mr. Frazyze believes. Sophomores may make up cuts on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are the days for freshmen to make up cuts.
