school Children See Game
Nearly 500 Pupils Watch Kansas Team in Action
"More than 450 Lawrence and rural school children saw the Kansas football team in action, at the Washington football game Saturday," said F. G. Allen, director of Athletics today. "We required only one child, as each child should have a good school record and carry an American flag."
"It was our first intention to give every child in the Lawrence grade school an opportunity to see the Creighton game and then have the high school as our visitors at the Oklahoma Archaeological Museum. We extended our invitation to all the Lawrence school nulls for the Washington game.
"Still we were not satisfied, and knowing that the children had not had a good opportunity to see the Kansas team really in action we extended school to every public school in Lawrence and in the rural schools."

Causes of College Failures Explained by P. B. Lawson
Insufficient Time Is Giver Work; Standards Should Challenge Ability of Students
The most important reasons for which students fall in college are: insufficient time devoted to study, low grade point, no desire to do college work and too many students coming to college without a purpose," said Prof. P. B. Lawson, Assistant Dean of the College, in his office on Wednesday morning broadcasting station, last night.
"Every college wishes to maintain a standard of scholarship that will challenge the ability of its students," said Professor Lawson. The successful completion of any job requires the expenditure of a certain amount of money and the skill of the workers. It is the same with the proper mastery of a lessor
Nine hour Day Not Too Long
The average student attends classes three hours a day and is asked to study six hours a day in addition. This makes a nine hour day.
Is this too much? It isn't too much for the business man n' a r he graduated from college, or for a real instead of a mythical world of work, why not form the working habits in college that will have to be followed to insure success after college?" said Professor Lawson.
"Very low of the students who fail and drop out of college ever put in such a day at their books. The great majority of them do not do much more than half a day's work as evidenced by their own testimony." Reasons for such lack of application are many, according to Professor Herschel. And der three heads. They are; too much outside work, too many extracurricular activities, and too much interest in a good time.
"There are too many undergraduates who are satisfied to 'get by.' Many, as a result, plan to do their work just well enough to gain this skill. The fact that passing work is not their instructor's idea and they fail. A small percentage of such students who fail could not and would not have worked harder had they felt it to be necessary in order to pass. They fall down, both in the quantity and quality of their work," said Professor Lawson.
Try to Eliminate Incapable
"It is a sad fact that many of the most capable high school graduates are not so capable of doing the number of the poorest ones do. Among this latter group there are always some who cannot profit by a college education, and those who want to continue their study. Most colleges are trying, in various ways, to discover those students who are really incapable of profiting in a college course, so as to save them from the expense and expense of a feathery endover.
The real cost of a college education is persistence, self-delict, termination, and work. Millions of Americans today know that a college education is worth the cost and are paying the price and paying it gladly," concluded Professor Lawson.
Club Postpones Initiation
