Changes in State Schools Proposed in Survey Report
Suggestions Are Intender to Prevent Overlapking of Work in Higher Institutions
Recommendations designed to improve state schools are contained in the report of the official survey of public schools, which has recently been published by the government printing office at Washington, D. C. The November number of the Graduate contains a summary of this report.
the
The survey was undertaken at the request of the State Board of Administration and was carried out by Dr. Coffman, specialist in higher learning with the Bureau of Education, Lutus D. Coffman, president of the University of Minnesota, and A. R. Coffman, president of Agriculture, Cornell University.
The committee recommends the powers of the State Board of Administration, insofar as they relate to institutions of higher learning, be replaced by a non-paid board of trustees appointed by the governor for a long term of years. A new office of secretary to the board would be created. The office of business manager would be retained with its present functions.
New Board May Be Appointed
Certain divisions of major lines of work in the University and Agricultural College are recommended and precautions are suggested which are used in the work of these two schools and that of the state normal training schools.
Course Not to be Duplicated
The major lines of work at the University of California include liberal arts and sciences, engineering, fine arts, medicine, pharmacy, architecture, law, commerce, education, and graduate study. In the Agricultural College, agriculture, engineering, home economics, vocational education, industrial journalism, graduate study, and the biological and physical sciences would be recognized as the major lines of work at the University of California the Agricultural College would concentrate on rural and landscape architecture and the University alone would develop urban architecture.
Journalism for general professional purposes would be developed primarily at the University, while the Agricultural College would stress industrial journalism. Home economies would be developed at the University for general home-making and teacher-training purposes. Library services for agricultural College for cultural and citizenship purposes. Granuate study and research would be encouraged in both schools.
It is recommended that the state law requiring the admittance to the freshman class of all graduates from accredited high schools of the state be repealed. Other recommendations include an increase in salaries at the University and Agricultural College; better quarers and facilities for students; for the C. University, a continuation of the program for building women's dormitories, and a millitex for each of the higher institutions, in accordance with their respective needs for maintenance and improvement.
Who Trims the Pines?
Asks Bright Studen
"Who trims the pines in the forest?" asked a student. No this question isn't on a par with that timeworn quiz about "Why is a policeman?" but is suggested by the fact that he is usually well-armored and apparently well trimmed, while the pines on the campus must have the dead wood cut out at intervals.
According to Van Horbekeb, landscape gardener, who is working on the pines north of Administration building, the forest pine grows so close together that they trim themselves. The trees on the campus grow more foliage than they can support and as a result, must die.
Since plenty of sunlight can reach all parts of the tree there is no reason why the lower limbs should die if it rains. But if a pine tree begins to shed its needles it is in poor health, but this is a mistake, for the tree is simply getting a new coat of needles to do for several years," said Mr. Horebek.

Stone Bench Is Erected on Fiftieth Anniversary
Workmen are making rapid progress on the library construction work, according to John M. Sheen, superintendent of buildings and grounds. The work is rapidly taking shape as the proposed completed building.
The trent entrance steps are now being constructed. Stone on the front has been practically all laid. "Barring bad weather, all the stone work should be finished by Tuesday night," said Mr. Shea.
"Aas soon as the stone work is finished the work on the interior can be begun. Roof construction has been started and will be finished in a few weeks. We expect weather tests in, thus insuring an early completion date," said Mr. Shea.
Staff Appointments for Class Sections in Jayhawker Made
Chairmen and Assistants Ar Chosen to Take Charge of Divisions
of Divisions
At a meeting of the Jayhawker staff Monday afternoon, all appointments for the various class sections were made with the exception of one. Dorothy Dillaway was placed in charge of the entire section with the following persons, working on the appointed class to them, under her:
Dorothy Macvior, c25, has charge of the graduate section; Helen Scott, c24, the senior section with C. E. Mundis, c24, M. A. Brown, c26, and Junius Underwood, c25, in the junior section with Bailey, c25, has the junior section with Glenn Parker, c26, O. M. Starr, c26, and Grace Winson, c27, a s assistants; Ed Rinke, c25, has the sophomore section with Thurman Jr. c26, Ella Thoman, c26, and Valencia Bradbury, c26, in charge of the freshman section, with John Lantz, c26, and Inez Porta, c24, as assistants.
"These people will get in touch with every student, soliciting individual space reservations in their research interests," C Petty, business manager. "A contest is on in each of the four undergraduate class sections in which the solicitor turning in the most reservations will receive a Jaquawalter gift."
Oklaahoma, Kansas Agrees, and other schools have adopted the plan of running sections for every class in giving very popular with the students.
“An exceptionally large number of reservations have already been mailed into the office.” said Petty, “and we are assured that each class will have a large representation. Glosses are to be turned in at the office at any time, the dead line being Jan. 10.”
Driveway Almost Complete
The curbing on the driveway extending around the Administration building is nearing completion. The forms have all been set, and these will be added to the driveway to be poured in the forms. The plan now is to have a masonry or rock road. Whether or not the drive will be laid in concrete has not been decided.
There have been no funds appropriated as yet by the state for such a drive. The rock will probably be laid and rolled sometime next week or as soon as crushed rock can be procured.

Dr. Jesse Hayes Baldwin, now serving as physician in charge of the Methodist Mission hospital at Changli, China, has reported a remarkable case of acute kidney failure and attracted wide attention throughout the medical world.
Remarkable Operation Reported by Former Kansan
The case referred to was that of a Chinese who drove an iron spike about the size of a lead pencil into the top of his head and fell unconscious. He was taken to the mission where Doctor Baldwin took charge of the case. Doctor Baldwin chiselled around the spike until he could withdraw it with pliers. It had been driven four and one-half inches into the man's head. The wound was and the man recovered completely.
Doctor Baldwin was born at Ada, Kana, was graduated at Kansas Wesleyan University, Salma, with the degree of bachelor of science, and from the School of Medicine of the University of Kansas.
