THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Research Bureau Of Child Interests Begins To Function
Organization, Created In 1921, Has Started Extensive Program
of Study
The Kansas Bureau of Child Research at the University of Kansas is beginning to function. The bill creating this Bureau was one of the three measures passed by the Children's Code Commission in 1921. It was considered one of the most important bills of the Code.
The Bureau is limited in the work which can be done as no appropriation was made at the last legislature. However the following projects in the study of the normal child and the normal family group are under way:
Will Keep Continuous Record
1. To collect continuous records of the growth of individual children from birth to eighteen years in order to establish correct standards of growth and development. Three recorder cards will be kept, each covering a period of six years of the child's life.
The record of the first six years will be kept by intelligent mothers, public health nurses, health conference examiners, and kindergarten teachers. The second and third period, that is six to twelve, and twelve to fifteen years old, are school nurses and teachers of physical education or school physicians.
Already a number of groups have signified a desire to co-operate in this. The Bureau desires to start as many continuous records as possible early date. Samples of these cards he sent on request as soon as printed.
Examine Family Groups
Examine Family Groups
2. For the complete examination of entire family groups. The purpose of this examination is first to collect data on high-type American families in order that the establishment of family standards may be achieved, and families in record keeping; third, to extend this method to the study of other types of family groups for research into racial and regional differences, deficiencies, etc.
Dan F. J. Kelly is the director of the Research Bureau and Dr. Florence Brown Sherborn is assistant director. The Children's Code Commission is urging an adequate approach to the new legislature from the next legislature. Similar burials in Ohio and Iowa are render valuable service to their states.
Colonel Cole From Washington to be Here
To Inspect Local R. O. T. C.
Col. William E. Cole, from the office of the Chief of Coast Artillery Washington, D. C., will be here Thursday to inspect the local R. O. T. C. unit. His tour of inspection covers most of the units west of the Mississippi. On completion of his trip, he will report to the Chief of Coast Artillery, reports will be compared, and statements issued as to the relative standing of the different units.
The Juniors in the unit, who have completed the courses in Field Fortification and Military, will begin the study of Military Law, Gas Engines and Motor Transportation. A gas engine and an automobile motor have been secured for practical experimentation.
The seniors of the unit, who have just finished the study of Military Photography, are taking up Construction in War, including the building of harcades, railroads, terminals, locks, etc.
George Chandler, B. S., 22, who has been in the employment of the State Architectural Department for the past year, will supervise the construction of the new library which will begin in the near future. Mr. Chandler has worked on the plans with the state architect for the past few months.

Southern States Have Large Building Program
Southern states have embarked on a road building program involving the construction of several thousand miles of new hard surfaced roads, most of which will be asphalt. Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi, especially, are building great streets of asphalt roads.
The extent to which Southern states are appropriating money for highway construction is reflected in statistics compiled by the Alphasht Association, New York, which show that during the first eight months of the present decade $64,350,650 have been sold in the 10 Southern states and the funds made available for road construction. Bonds sold in each state were as follows: Alabama, $48,300; Arkansas, $26,190; Florida, $68,030; Georgia, $29,006; Kentucky, $11,193; Louisiana, $37,858; Maryland, $23,190; Mississippi, $182,100; Missouri, $186,400; North Carolina, $209,810; Utah, $239,000; South Carolina, $252,850; Tennessee, $204,400; Texas, $25,430,750; Virginia, $1,390,000; and West Virginia $681,000.
Dr. H. B. Wahl Talks Over Radio - One Of Series By Faculty
The Human Body's Defense Against Disease was Subject of His Talk
"How the Human Body Protects Itself from Disease" was told last night over the Star's radio by Dr H. B. Wahl, of the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Doctor Wahl's talk was one of a series being given by members of the University faculty.
Doctor Wahl compared the human body to a fort besieged by inmate enemies. He explained that the unbroken skin and covering surface of the body form the first defensive line of the human body. If a germ breaks through the first barrier there are, in the blood, white blood cells which function it is to destroy this germ or other similar injurious cells. The wound is accompanied by standing army, ready at a moment's notice to report an enraged
If the patient's body is in a healthy condition, it will manufacture enough white cells to repel the invaders. On the other hand, if the cells escape into the blood stream, they are met by the third line of defense, a chemical substance that renders the germs harmless, or burnes them so slowly and keeps within the range of the white cells. If this third line fails, just as the fort is captured, the germs multiply and the patient dies.
The talk last night will be followed Thursday night by one by Prof. Walder Gleich. The University talks come on the 6 o'clock program.
Farm Houses Protected
Dallas County Texas Now Has Rural Fire Departments
Dallas County, Texas, has made it possible for its rural districts to obtain protection from the fire department in Dallas through the construction of modern hard-surfaced highways. A contract executed recently between the Dallas City Commission and the County Commission would allow farmers on all paved roads within a radius of fifteen miles of Dallas.
When a farm house or barn along a paved road catches fire all the farmer has to do is to telephone the Dallas department and it will respond in an hour with a chemical engine or a steamer as occasion may warrant.
Dallas County is one of the first in the country to make such an arrangement. Several fires have already been extinguished with small loss. A general reduction in fire insurance rates in the smaller towns and farming districts has been the result. The service will be made more extensive when the big road building program now under way in Dallas County is finished. Farmers affected by the arrangement are reported to be delighted with the protection afforded.
Letter Received From Japan
Dr. E. H. S. Bailley is in receipt of a letter form Shin-ichi Takaki, former University of Kansas student now food chemist in Kamakuru, Japan, Mr. Takaki studied the chemistry of food under Dr. Bailey in 1916-17 and received his degree at Harvard. He was also a member of which are very high, owing partly to the great amount of unemployment which resulted from the limitation of the manufacture of armaments.
Letter Received From Japan
Ku Ku's Look 'Cucoo'
In "Corncob's" Sight
"That Ku Ku is sure 'cocoo,' " said a "Corcool" after the Kansas-Nebaska game last Saturday as he played a red and blue hat to the coat of the Missouri Meerrachums from Nebraska.
He was speaking of K. Ridgway, who had just lost a bet to him. Of all the wagers, and it is rumored that they were numerous, the most unique was that made by "Kirk." He stated that he would win, and lost gamely as the team did.
The rest of the Ku Ku's rather favor the idea of wagering their hate against the lead gear of the other "pep" organizations of the valley on the outcome of the games, and if the Missouri Razers can be interested in taking a twenty-five gold and black "rah kah" hats from the Turkey Day contest.
Boulder Makes Paving Record
The City of Boulder, Colorado, nesting in the foot hills of the Rocky Mountains 38 miles from Denver, has made a record in street paying during the past two years unsurpassed, perhaps, in the country. During that time, the city completed 137 bushes of new asphalt streets. Being in excellent financial condition Boulder receives top prices for its improvement bonds.
