McFarland Talks To Nursing Class On Child Welfare
Has Just Returned From A Tour of Investigation In Kansas Towns
Miss Alice K. McFarland, of the Kansas Industrial Court, who has charge of all regulations of women and children in industry over the state of Kansas, spoke to the classes in Child Care and Home Nursing as well as health care regarding conditions in the best fields of western Kansas.
Miss McFarland has just returned from an investigation of these fields in the vicinity of Holcob and towns near Garden City, reporting that the working population there consists mainly of Russians, Germans, and Mexicans. She also discovered that the large number of very young children are being kept from school to adulthood. She also found that they are too young to receive employment certificates, yet are working in the fields for their parents.
Need to Amend Laws
The need now is to amend the present laws so that every child under eighteen years will be in school within which conforms with his health, strength and capacity, or else on a job and attending part time school, according to Miss McFarland's statement.
There are three general classes on child labor, the factory and manufacturing plants, commercial industries, and the agricultural industries. The first is covered by child labor legislation, because of the dangers and hazards of the machinery and utensils employed. The factories are set up as factory conditions and at the present time there are few children employed in factories in Kansas, while before there were many.
Second Class Is More Difficult
Second Class is More Difficult
The second class is more difficult to control as the hours are more irregular and many require that teachers interfere with the health and education of the city children. Miss McFarlancid many effective examples and incidents in this group.
The last class, the agricultural, has not been touched by legislation either which might be accredited in part to the wide-spread conviction that outdoor work is good for the child without regulation of the hours of industry. It was in this group investigation that Miss McFarland related the injuries inflicted in the beet industry. Does Not Include Younger Children
The Child Labor Law does no cover the case of the children as young as five and six years old who work in the fields because the parents contract with sugar companies to do a certain amount of work, so that the children work for them instead of for the company itself. The Compulsory Attendance law can provide whereby the school board has the right to sanction a leave of absence of children fourteen years of age for eight weeks. The best season lasts until October 15 or later.

Former Economics Student Describes Work In The East
In a letter to Prof. A, J. Beynon,
Marie Russell, A. B. 22, tells of her work in the Simmons College in Boston. Miss Russell is the second girl from the department of economics of the University to receive the Simmons scholarship.
Marie Russell, A. B. '22, Is Now Studying in Simmons College, Boston
Miss Russell writes that from 2 till 5 o'clock on both Monday and Friday afternoons, there is a rather formal class in statistics; and the remainder of the week, from 9 to 15, is given over to investigations. Miss Russell has selected the Credit Union, which offers Credit Union, which is connected with the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, as her preliminary study.
Miss Russell is living at the Elizabeth Peabody Settlement House, which is one of the largest and best settlements in Boston. Mrs. White, the director, is the head of the Boston School of Social Work. About twenty-five social workers and students in the school asked to be asked for two evenings a week to the House, either directing clubs, or working in the office. In this way they have a wonderful opportunity to become acquainted with some of their many Polish, and Jewish neighbors. The people in this vicinity seem to be prosperous although quite ignorant; directly back from them comes a crowd of most crowded section of the city. This shows the ideal location of the House.
Miss Russell finds the work very interesting as well as enjoyable. She was graduated from the University last June. She was a member of Gamma Epsilon Pi, and Phi Beta Kappa. Her home is in Topeka.
First Issue of Oread To Be Holiday Number
A Holiday Number of the Oread Magazine will appear on the campus sometime late in November, according to Austen Cross, the editor it will feature Christian poetry and music. The cover will carry out this idea.
The first appearance of the Oread Magazine has been delayed on account of changes in the business staff. Mutba Parker is the newly appointed business manager, and Sam Weatherly will be the advertising manager.
The exquisitely soft materials that characterize this winter's coats, with the added richness of our trimmings, make the ominent cold weather an enticing season.
Squirrel, wolf, fox, moleskin, and the very popular beaver appear in most unusual combinations with gerona, marleen, and marvella clothes.
Long loose effects, with style distinctly in evidence, make Weaver's coat a luxurious necessity.
—and you find that charming person is yourself.
Yours in style,

Oklahoma Woman Owns Box From Boston Tea Party
P=22
Oklahoma City, Oct. 30 (U. P.)—A tea box, one of the very few rescued from the waters of Boston harbor, as relics, when the cargo of British tea was cast into the water at the beginning of the War of the Revolution, is in possession of Mrs. Mary E. Rowe, local music teacher.
The box, one of the eight containers bound together to form the chests thrown overboard, is only six inches square.
Y. W. C. A. Presents Play Tonight at Bowersocl
The small chest handed down to Mrs. Rowe from generation to generation, is probably the most pristine of the children of a resident of Oklahoma City, it was said.
Mrs. Rowe is the last of her family linen. When she dies the chest will be moved to the Massachusetts Historic Society at Boston, according to her wishes.
"Adam and Eva" Y. W. C. A. Play, will be presented this evening by an Ill-star University cast, at 8:18 o'clock at the Bowie Court Theatre. Among the cast will be "Ted" Wear, who will play the role of Adam; Madeline Donnyer, who will be Eva; and Albert Kerr as James King, a young American business man. The leads will be well supported by students who have played parts in several former University plays.
