Kansas School Taking Place of Leadership Among Institutions—Practical Courses Offered
New buildings and additional equipment are putting the University of Kansas School of Engineering in a position of leadership among schools of this class. Just completed are the new electrical laboratories, and the new heating and power plant, which serves as a laboratory for students.
The fields to be pursued in the engineering school are; mechanical, civil, industrial, electrical, and architectural. Each department is distinct in itself and thoroughly prepares the student to follow it as his life work.
The several laboratories for the different departments are most complete. In the hydraulic lab for civil engineers there is equipment to measure that passes over a weir and through orifices, meters that measure quantity of water that flows through any size pipe, and that measure the loss of head due to friction. In the strength-of-materials lab almost any sort of material can be performed by theperformance The testing machine has a capacity of 200,000 pounds.
Recently a new alternating substation was installed. Previously all equipment had been direct current, so all this at once became available for the electrical laboratory. The new substation has been installed in the electrical lab in place of the power plant, as previously, and it can be used for first hand study. This device is comparatively new and t. is believed Kansas is the only University to have installed such a matriculation station; constantly being added to, and even at present we have one of the best undergraduate electrical labs to be found among our universities.
The industrial engineers have been surveying all important cities in Kansas and have also surveyed for a miniature railway about the campus.
Few schools can boast of an up-to-date commercial power plant on the campus, as is true here. The power plants are used to generate Utilities Power Company, and is a complete electric light plant in itself. This gives electrical and mechanical engineers first hand study of a company under practical working conditions.
Uniform Dress is Bad
After several years of toiling, the seniors have the advantage of an extensive observation tour. This trip is for all senior engineers and includes visits to St. Louis, Chicago and the immense Keenu Power Site
"Girls Express Individuality With Colors"-Schwegler
"Attempts that are being made now and then throughout the United States to compel public school children to wear uniform garments are praiseworthy from an economic standpoint, but from a psychological standpoint," she said. A Schweigge, professor in the School of Education, in a class lecture.
"The whole tendency of adolescent youth, masculine and feminine, is to express individuality." Professor Schwegler explains. "This comes from an unconscious urge or instinct within each individual to be an outstanding figure in any give group. With boys this desire finds expression in some physical situations, such as flips-flops, walk on his hands, hang by his toes or pummel some adversary until he cries down."
"The girl can best express her individuality through bright colors, or personal adornment or decoration. This desire to do something that will make her outstanding in her group can be expressed by a question that by all means should not not be suppressed. Those who would put school children and high school students in uniform garments work no doubt with a view toward economy in dress, which is a valuable thing, believe economy can be instilled with.

Authorities in Different Fields of Utility Regulation Each Add Chapter
Add Chapter
C. M. Fassett, professor of municipal government, at the request of Morris L. Cooke, consulting engineer of Philadelphia, has written a chapter on "Regulation and Franchise" for a book on the "Study of Utility Regulation" to be published by Mr. Cooke this summer.
Each chapter in the book is written by one of the most eminent men in the different fields of utility regulation. The manuscripts were called for in March and they are now in the hands of Mr. Cooke being arranged for publication on the basis of a book, "Expert in City Government," published in 1919 for which Professor Fassett also wrote a chapter on city government.
In Professor Fassett's chapter on "Regulation and Franchise" he gives the purposes for which a public utility and franchise policy should be formulated. He says the new idea is that there are three matters to any public interest: (a) that between corporations or cities are affected with a public interest. He believes that public interest now demands better franchises.
"This is a great hou or for the University as well as to Professor Fassett that he be asked to write a chapbook and that he be asked to an eastern man," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley. "This shows that Professor Fassett is recognized as one of the best authorities on the prob- city regulations and franchises."
Talks To Social Workers
Margaret Palmer Tells of Girls Clubs in Factories
"Your biggest problem in organizing a club among factory girls is the preach to them or that you want to get some money out of them," said Margaret Palmer, chaperone of the Wankrapt co-operative house, to her fellow staffers. "C. A. yesterday afternoon. Miss Palmer was formerly secretary for younger girls in business and industry in Kansas City, Mo., and she has worked in summer camps for girls." "The girls need good, wholesome recreation. They have no good home environment and cannot afford any help." The girl earns an $80 or $10 a week. A "pappy" party is an excellent beginning."
Miss Palmer said that it was much more difficult to organize the girls who worked in factories than high school girls because the former do not know how to work in groups. The difference in the mental ages and attitudes of the girl is another problem worth needing to treat. "Above all things, do not patronize; because the girls are sensitive and they are continually on their guard against it," said Miss Palmer in conclusion.

School of Fine Arts
Exhibits Collection
Of Japanese Print
An excellent collection of Japanese prints is being exhibited on the third floor of the East Administration building under the supervision of Rosemary Ketcham, professor of design in the School of Fine Arts. There are between one hundred fifty and two hundred prints being shown.
Works of Hiroshige are Among Most Prominent of Those Diaryed
The works of Hiroshige are among the most prominent. The collection includes work from the hands of the artists, such as Katsuhiko Miyake and Meket Kahane. Quite a large number of the prints are originals and many of the best of Japanese prints are represented by unusually good prints are for sale and are marked.
The exhibit will remain on display for the rest of the year. The making of prints is peculiar in that the work of the artist is increased many times in the finishing of one print. The artist first does a picture in the colors desired and the picture is placed upon a wood block. The block is then to conform to the height of an aigle color and then the picture is transferred to another block where the outlines of a second color are made.
Each color in a print requires a separate block and when the print is made there must be an impression from each block. This type of art is one of the most painstaking of all and as in other branches copies can be made easily. A copy of a print is usually made from a single block which does not require the great accuracy necessary in the making of originals.
Elliot Porter Speaks
Positions Given to Ten Men of Department of Economics By That Company
"Work is Essential To Success," Says Standard Oil Man
That the state universities of the country are productive of skepticism and atheism was denied by Elliot McCann, an academic pastor in the Christian church and instructor in the School of Religion, in addressing the Topkea Presbytery of the Presbyterian churches yesterday at the Westport Church. The Presbyterian church in Kansas City, Kana
"The mission volunteers in the state institutions are far better than those in denominational schools," said Mr. Porter. "At Lawrence the faculty of the University includes a surprising percentage of earnest church workers, many of whom are professors." The opposing contrasted to the fallacy that science is not compatible with religion."
Says State Universities do Not Produce Atheism
Men of the junior class at the University of Nevada have sworn off shaving for three weeks. At the end of June I'm a "40" dance will be held.
In the School of Religion there are about seventy students receiving regular University credit from the department, and of 577 students in Lawrence expressing preference in the Presbyterian church, seventy per cent are church members. The school is similar to that at the University of Missouri where there are 400 students in this department. The University credit has been granted in this department for fifteen years. The example of Missouri in this field is one that Kansas can profit by, Mr. Porter said.
"The elements of success is measured in one word, work," said H. C Griffin, manager of the Kansas City district of the Standard Oil Company, in an address recently to the students of the department of economics.
"In my experience in employing college people I find the tendency of the average college student is not to work too hard. Let us assume that we are all of average intelligence; then if this be true, will the man who works nine hours a day for ten years earn a salary equal to what only works eight hours a day. To my mind this difference is the difference between success and failure.
"The Standard Oil Company has a closely knit internal organization including the board of directors, general managers over specified districts, assistant managers, sales clerks, and in fact everything from office boys to head of the company, each one of these positions is to be held, as it is the company's policy that outsiders are not to be put into advanced positions. It is one of the requirements that the business must be learned from the ground up.
"It is the policy of the Standard Oil Company to employ a number of college men, training them in all lines of business in which the company works. The company will be for managerial and selling positions. The company has given positions to ten men of the department of economics of this university within the last few months. It is also planning to hire more from the department this June.
Hold Grad School Banquet
During his talk, Mr. Griffin gave some interesting facts concerning the history and development of the Standard Oil Company. He also gave a large number of facts concerning the internal management and economic processes used in making the company as efficient as it is.

Ness City affirmative team won from Eskridge in class B. Marie Lass, the first speaker for the affirmative declared that a national court of industrial relations was necessary to both labor and capital; was correct about labor and capital; was correct about successful, and that it was practical and can work.
She stated that this plan had been approved by the National Commission of Uniform Law States, that it is necessary for the sake of the workers who suffer worst of all from strikes, that it is necessary for capital so that a few union labor leaders can not prostrate an industry at will, and that last and most important it is to be used in the big strikes of recent years have had to be settled by government intervention. She said.
Winnona Vennard answered the two objections that it forces compulsory labor, and that it endangers freedom on contract.
Chorisss Paull, the third speaker for the affirmative finished the constructive argument, saying the Kan-gan was a better yet proposed to cope with strikes.
The speakers for the Eskridge negative team were: Imogene Meeker, Elvan Skeen, and Dori Logan. They contended that the Kansas Court is not liable to a man for that it does not prevent plecketing; that in every case the militia or other armed men have had to be called out to settle the dispute; and that the court is unconstitutional because it impairs obligations of contracts.
The Ness City negative team, composed of Thomas Williams, Richard Floyd, and Thomas Venard, won a unanimous decision from Gwendolyn Davis, Elda Ekchart, and Ralph Lashback who represented Almena.
Almena's negative team won a unanimous decision over Eskridge. The debaters were: Almena—Keith Dole, Henry Simmons, and Ted Fergus; Eskridge—Lucice Dill, Ernest Gardner, and Izell Wilson.

157 High Schools Now Are Members OfDebating League
Intercollegiate debating, according to Professor Shim, is dependent upon the interest of the student body. If the college fails to have full co-operation, the debating in colleges will be a failure. There has been a rising interest in college debating in the last year and a huge number of students are attending the debate this evening.
Ohio State University—A photographic method for teaching French has ben perfected by Prof. Robert E. Rockwood, of the department of romance languages of Ohio State University. He served at the third annual educational conference held by the school of education at Columbus, Ohio.
