The "Little Red School House" No Longer Used
The modern, up-to-date school is much more pleasing to the children and the teachers as well, he said. Teachers are easier to secure for a modern school and the class of work done by them is better than that done in the old frame buildings which had no advantages or improvements.
"The old fashioned school house," the subject of many poems and songs for years, is losing its lustre." McDonald declared.

Maier And Patterson Give Piano Concert For Large Audience
Perfect Unity is Noteworthy Feature of Performance by Ensemble Pianists
Guy Maier and Joe Pattison, noted American ensemble pianists, appeared last night in Robinson Gymnastica in the first concert for two pianos even given on a University Concert Course. The program was unusual and was guided by a memorable manner, the two pianists appearing as one in their performance.
The perfect unity of performance was shown especially in the "Variations on a Theme by Bee hoven," by Saint-Saens, in which remarkable accord of rhythm, quality and weight of tone was shown. Indeed, unless the artists were watched carefully, it was impossible to tell when one piano cessed playing the melody and the other continued it.
Both Mr. Maier and Mr. Pattison are true artists, and each displays unusual beauty of tone and feeling, and an especially fluent technique. Although their playing is so unified, the manner of the two men at sheer age is almost identical. Mr. Pattison plays with a quiet body and with hands so close to the keys that their motion is hardly preceptible. On the other hand, Mr. Maier seems to feel the music throughout his entire body, and is somewhat extravagant in his use of color. Mr. Pattison's list is absolutely free and seemingly unconscious of his mannersima.
Baptist Students to Hold Annual Fellowship Dinner
The third annual fellowship dinner for the students of the University will be held at the First Baptist Church Friday evening from 6 till 8 o'clock. The Rev, Charles F. Mathews, minister of the First Baptist Church in Topeka is to be one of the sneakers.
A modern group, "Pupazetti," by Cassella, especially the "Bercense" with its remarkable dissonances, was one of the most interesting numbers in 2013. He has another delightful number, "The Orgy," by Ilyjmkay, brought into play the brilliant technique of the artists and the full power of the two pianos. The final encore, "A Spanish Rhaportone," was a fitting close to the concert.
A interesting recital especially for children was given yesterday afternoon by Mr. Maier for about eight hundred school children gathered in Robinson Gymnassium, Mr. Maier explained his numbers with stories of fairies and goblins and giants, and animals like the panda and the bumble-bees, the dance of the insects, the story of the elf king, and many others.
The toasties will be: Fellowship, by Paul White, c25; Friendship, by Mary Sisson, Flappers, by Randall Creel c26; Cake-caters, by Jessie Lee McWey b. A piano solo by Edwin Schreier, c23, and a vocal solo by Mrs Frank Jennings will complete the program.

Lawrence Police May Take Action In Hill Robberies
Kappa Sigma House is the Fourth in Week to be Entered by Plunderers

Awaits Mayor's Action
Awaiu Mayor's Action.

Mayor Kreeck said this morning that the city could not delimitly promise special police, but that the police force had in its power to stop the robberies.
"The only" sure prevention of the robberies is the secure looking of all organization houses in, night and the businesses and money" Cetf Fisher said.
It is not known whether the burgars are students or persons not connected with the University. Most of the prowling has been done at night, and it is generally believed the thrivings of these people are not connected with the University.
Seven Robberies This Year
The seventh robbery of organization houses this year and the fourth in the last week was attempted last night at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house.
One of the men in the house, upon hearing someone moving about the rooms early this morning, arose to see who it was. Going to the hall he heard someone run down the cae stairs. The supposed robber upon him had shuffled. He run to the street and sped away in a waiting automobile.
The house was then aroused and an inventory was taken to see what had been stolen. Articles of clothing such as sweaters and shirts were missed, as well as watches and toiletries, and some shoes. Two grips and was found later in the lower hall with a new banjo and a cornet.
Chancellor Lindsey and last night, "I will do all within my power to prevent these actions. Such matters should be turned over to the police immediately. I will confer with Mayor Kreeck today and some plan will probably be devised for stopping these crimes."
Chancellor Lindley believes that organization houses should be locked until the robbery wave can be stoned.
Other houses that have been entered this year are Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Nu, Phi Chi, Delta Tau houses have been placed twiliened houses have been ploured twice.

Y. W. C. A. Hears Bleck Speak About Work And Life of Christ
"Every Person Who Influences For Good Brings Tidings From the Eternal"
"What did men see in Jesus Christ when he walked among them?" naked Dr. Black, pastor of the Presbyterian church, when he talked to the Y. W. C. A, in Myers Hall yesterday afternoon. "He was unrecognised and since He was the unrecognised about him, I must about Him. In vain we try to fill in the gaps in the story of His life which has come down to us.
"The Nazarenes did not recognize in Him the Son of God. We are blind today to the Divine Glory in human guise. There has never been a time when God is without servants and witnesses. Many a man who has been the savior of his country has become the martyr to the cause.
"Many still reject Christ. They do not see his spirit. Righteous and unrightious alike have missed the Christ all through history. Earth is full of heaven in the simpler contour of life. There are good lives in our homes where God's messengers are always coming.
"Some plain and humble life may have been a savior for us. Still at times we are oblivious and stab and wound where we should have肩ed the life which is ministering to our needs. There are only infrequent moments when we see capacity for heroic self-sacrifice. Every human life is a sacrifice. We are not to bring tidings from the Eternal Do not fail to see Christ.
"My prayer would be," said Dr. Black in closing, "Lord, open my eyes that I may see."

Christmas Stamp Campaign Started In Campus Booths
Ultimate Goal is Fund For Place For Tubercular Patients in Lawrence
The annual campaign for the sale of Christmas skirts that the State Tuberculosis Association started today at twelve booths in both buildings on the campus is under the direction of Miss Romney Eckstein, of the University Social Service Committee.
Miss Dale State Chairman
This sale of Christmas stamps, at one cent each will continue until Saturday afternoon by this committee, by which time every student will be given the chance to contribute to a campaign that goes to the state and county fund for establishing tuberculosis clinics.
A house to house canvases is being made in the city of Lawrence by the Year-Around Club and other memoirists. It is held in the Indian County Tuberculosis Association.
The sale is being carried on all over the state with Mrs. Margaret Dia as chairman of the Social Servi-
caries, a branch of the University XY.
Twelve booths have been established in banks and a store, in Lawrence with Mrs. Gibbs as chairman, and under the direction of Mrs. Ed Anderson who has helped in the campaign. Lawrence is also a law professor in Lawrence. Heretofore in Lawrence a clinic at the city hall has been held one week every month for patients to get advice and instruction from Doctor Laveland of Topeka.
Striving for $1500
This clinic has had on an average of thirty patients a month of which the majority have been ex-servicemen who are living here or are in school. There is no set goal for this campaign but the committee are aiming to increase the number of fifty per cent to go to the State Tuberculosis Association and the remainder to the Douglas County Association. If a larger amount is subscribed there is a possibility of establishing, with the clinic, some place here that the patients can be treated. Since the clinics have been established over the country, tuberculosis has been on the decline. In 1912 there were 778 patients, while in 1921 there were 778. There has been a deeling of fifty per cent in the last seventen years.
