Radio Will Bring Power Of Oratory Back, Thinks Shinn
Once More Will Human Voice Influence Opinion, He Believes
A revival of the power of the oator was predicted last night by Prof H. A. Shim of the University of Oxford over the radio from its station WDAF.
"The time is not far distant," said Professor Shinn, "when every home will have its receiving set. A great, invisible audience comprising a great nation—a hundred million people—may hear the greatest minds of our country debate great questions that shape the destiny of our ship of stata. Political campaigns may be conducted with the whole nation as an audience."
"In the days of the Greeks and orans, the orator stood alone as a leader. Through him the people were slightened. Later, the invention of je printing press gave the orator a minor partner.
"This junior partner, the press, has slowly crowded the orator into the background. Today, the press practically controls public opinion. President Harding, a newspaper man holds the reins of our government.
"Who are the orators of today who stand above the shoulders of their fellows as did Clay, Calhoun, or Webster? We haven't. And yet, should not the perils of a great war the problems of reconstruction, and the tremendous industrial struggle which we face must be matched that they, too, would speak with the fervor of a Patrick Henry or the eloquence of a Daniel Webster?"
"Discussion of public questions affords splendid training in citizenship; it stimulates interest in public questions, which naturally results in more important and what is more important these cases are more intelligently cast."

Seashore Proposes
Means Of Selecting
Students For College
Plans to Raise Standard of American Colleges by Process of Elimination
Iowa, City, In., Jan. 2—Progressive selection and elimination of college students is suggested by Dr. Carl E. Seashore, dean of the graduate college of the University of Iowa, as a means of raising the standards of the American colleges and increasing their services to the students themselves. Student analysis would begin in the junior year in high school and continue through the junior, senior, freshman colleges, according to Seashore.
The machinery for analyzing students would be a personal staff in the college and high school faculties. Beginning in high school, there would be an inventory of the student's powers by means of physical and mental examinations, achievement records, and character records. These would form the basis of the student's entrance into college.
"How far a student would advance along the educational system would depend upon his mental capacity," says Dean Seashore. "If it were e-ident that his education should stop upon completion of high school, his work would be such as to prepare him for effective wage earning. The teacher will be able to bear the educational process in the junior college, the still more gritted would continue into the senior college and the eradicate college.
"Time and money would be saved to the student who might otherwise plunge blindly about, seeking his own grooves," declares Doctor Schoehl.
"In whatever of these colleges the student should naturally stop, it should finish him for his career. The school has always has failed to do this in the past."

Chancellor Speaks Before California Teachers' Meeting
Outlook for Future Generation Good," Says Lindley at Santa Barbara
"In my judgment the present generation is the best breed that has ever lived upon this plant," said Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley in an address December 19 before the meeting of the California State Teachers' Association held at Santa Barbara.
"We are not facing moral bankruptcy. I am confident that it is a hopeful generation. They are sophisticated perhaps, but they know the pitfalls and how to avoid them. It has been the failing of every generation to criticize the children and praise the mothers and fathers."
Newspapers Comment Lindley
Chancellor Lindley's subject was "The New Emphasis in Moral Education." The Santa Barbara newspapers commented on the enthusiasm with which it was received both on account of its splendid subject and the magnetic charm of the speaker.
Moral education, Doctor Lindley said, should be divided into three parts: teaching of voluntary obesidence, of regarding persons as persons, and of considering persons not persons in the way that as they are capable of becoming.
The highest consideration should be given to personality. This, he said, is one of the questions of prime importance in business of today. The highly successful business man is the one who is capable of bringing out the individual abilities of his employees to their fullest extent.
Sportsmanship Important
specialized the impact.
Chancellor Lindley brought out the that American partnership as the school campus played a great part on the battlefields of Europe. The troops did not always know their object, but were led by American ideals that carried them through to victory.
The Chancellor, who sponsor the holidays in California, attendance rallies held by the K. U. alumni in both San Diego and in Los Angeles. In the latter city he attended a meeting of one hundred and fifty alumni and former students of the University of Indiana from which he received his college presidents were present at this reunion. Doctor Lindley talked before the City Club and the University Club in Los Angeles.
Garbage Contract Is Awarded To Graduate
Charles Fay, who in the late '90s was graduated from the University of Kansas, with an A. B. degree, and was an hon student, was awarded a scholarship. Within the other day to collect the garbage for a period of ten years.
Fay received his A. B. degree from the University of Kansas in the days when one had to be a classical student to win the honor. Today he is the only man in Wichita who can read Sanskrit. He was an honor student in Greek and Latin in his college years, but he graduated from the state university with honors, but he completed the 4-year course in three years.
Now this is not a hard-luck story of a college man who is unable to make a living and is reduced to the level of a garbage hauler. On the other hand, the garbage contract is a big thing. The city agree to pay Pay $22,000 a year the first year, and after that it will pay him at the rate of $2.00 a house for every house n' the city. If Wichita keeps up its present rate of growth the contract will amount to $400,000 in ten years.
In addition he will make money off the garbage by feeding it to hogs. One ton of garbage will make forty pounds of pork, according to Fay.

New Whistle May Help Punctuality of Students
Those who have resolved never to be late to class, during the coming year will be greatly aided in the keeping of the resolution by the change of the whistle' from the old to the new power plant. From its new position, the old punctuality enforcer can be heard all over the campus even on the windiest days, due to its being more centrally located.
This change in the position of the whistle is indicative of the progress of K. U., along with the changing of he years, as the old power plant is now entirely shut down, and the new plant with its enormous smoke stack occupies the job of keeping Mount Oread habitable during the attack of winter.

K. U. Graduate Invents Method of Wood Economy
New Wood Saving Process
O. F. Stafford, c00, has just perfected a process for utilization of waste wood on a commercial scale, after a number of years experimentation, according to announcement from the University of Oregon. Professor S afford, who received his A. B. degree in 1902, has a doctoral degree in 1902, has been connected with the department of chemistry at Oregon since that time.
His achievement is acclaimed for northwestern newspapers as a most outstanding contribution to science. The commercial importance of the project may be realized from the fact that a single swainill, near the Uni-State Oregon, sends to Ohio former the equivalent of 100 corks of wood a day.
By the Stafford process, the waste wood from scors of sawnmills in the Pacific Northwest may be utilized in the manufacture of a fine grade of charcoal, as well as the usual by-products of carbonization, acetic acid, acetone, and wood oil; and also white pine, which is used for the products as dyes, paints, varnishes, celluloid, smokeless powder, and artificial leather.
Dr. Helen O. Mahin Edits Book of White Editorials
Dr. Helen O. Mahn of the department of journalism here is compiling and editing a book of editors by William Allen White, written for and hitherto published only in the Emporia Gazette.
According to the Kansas City Star the best writing that Mr. White does is in the editors of the Gazette. There is in then a quality of audacity, tempered by a well-considered eye. The writer makes the piece hit the mark forcefully without leaving a scar. This quality is carefully repressed in most of his books, and they are thereby robbed of much of their rightfully inherited charm. The Star also made its debut with this daring taking looks like a worthy endeavor and deserving of all the support the state can give it.
