ENGINEERING COURSES COMPARED BY WALKER
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Dean of School Publishers Article Showing Relative Standing of Work Here
NEW TYPE IS DISCUSSED
“Management Engineering” is Name Applied to Instruction Now Offered
That the course in Industrial Engineering at the University of Kansas is well on a par with similar courses given at other universities is shown in a comparison at the work at K. U. with the average of the work at seven other schools which is made in an article in the last issue of Management Engineering. The course in Industrial Engineering at the University of Kansas" is by P. F. Walker, dean of the K. U. School of Engineering.
A dingram is given showing ten subjects and the average number of hours taken by each student. One nine represents the average of the seven other schools and the second show K. U. in relation to them.
Excess Mathematics Here
There is an excess in the mathematics taught at K. U. due to students entering with incomplete preparatory training in the subject. This is not the case in the eastern institutions. An increase in the amount of language taught is shown, however. An option is allowed and language is offered selection with political science and psychology as second choices.
As yet industrial or management engineering has not come in for much attention. But at the second conference on commercial engineering, held at Pittsburgh, Pa., this year, the outstanding feature was the interest manifested by administrative officials of many large concrete manufacturers; a need exists for analysis of the needs of industries and for the establishment of co-operative relations with them.
Two Teaching Policies
There are two policies which govern the teaching of industrial engineering. The idea underlying the first policy is that men will be graduated who will, in whatever connection they may happen to establish in industry, be able to understand engineering activities based on technical standards, but whose activities are those of the business man in general.
There is a diversity of opinions as to the meaning of the various names applied to this class of engineering terms, and in particular the secuents to be the proper compromise.
The second policy constitutes the field for a distinct department of instruction comparable to civil engineering and the others. It is the applicative work of the economic and social sciences, just as electrical engineering is made up of the applications of physical science.
East Battles West In War of Arts
rhilladelphia, Pa., Oct. 10. (United Press)—The war of the arts is on—East against West.
The Widener collection of Pennsylvania and the Huntington collection of California are vying for the final championship, the world's title in art
With the recent acquisition of Rembrandt's famous masterpiece, "The Descent from the Cross," the Widener museum offset the prestige won by Huntington, by his purchase of Anthonyaugh's "The Blue Boy," for $80,000.
While the purchase price of the "Descent from the Cross" has not been made public, it is said to run considerably over the amount Widener paid for his last Rembrandt, rumored to have been $300,000.
"The Descent from the Cross" is the flowering of the genius of the great Dutch master and marks the culmination of his effort to interpret religious fervor. Like other "old masters" it has had a long and varied history and for many years its authenticity was disputed. At last we noticed it situated to its rightful place in the art world, it moved from owner to owner, until it was sold at Christie's, London's famous auction room.
While Huntington has been built ing a magnificent museum out of his California estate, Widener has quietly acquiring picture after picture.

SHOULD STUDY SNAKES MORE
Okmulgee Teacher Sa/s They Are Farmer's Protection
Okmulgee, Okla., Oct. 10—Farmers and gardeners should study makes more, says W. H. Barton, head of the science department of his Okmulgee high school, who had a make exhibit at the fair here.
He had fifty varieties of snakes in fluid, and a few live reptiles. He declared that the popular idea of all snakes being poisonous was erroreous. There are snakes of only two species, but most really poisonous—rattlesnakes, cottonton mouse or southern moccasin and copperhead, he explained.
"Snakes form one of the chief protections the average farmer has in his fight against harmful bugs and insects. The non-poisouvariety should be allowed to roam at will over the farms of the country. Not only are the common snakes good bug chasers, but there are no better
mousers in the animal world than these same so-called deadly snakes.
Physiologists Have Four New Eyes?
Four new eyes! Would anybody like to have them? If you happen to be one of the medical physiology students you may get a chance to use the new artificial eyes which are being made.
Chester Johnson, who has charge of the physiology supply room, is completing the new apparatus. These artificial eyes cost about forty dollars each, so the amount saved by making them here is significant. Each "eye" consists of a wooden box about five inches square and nine inches long. A "retinol" of ground glass can be moved forward or backward can be moved forward or backward to adjust the image as it is thrown on the retina.
The focus is varied by the insertion of lenses of different power in the moveable front. The effects of a few of the diseases of the eye can be studied with these artificial eyes, and the actions of abnormalities in these
the actions of abnormalities in these organs can be observed as well.
