THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
URNISH NEW HOUSE FOR 500 DOLLARS
student in Home Decoration Solves Problem to Defeat
H. C. L.
That it is possible to furnish a bride's house for $500 has been proved by a class in Home Decoration directed by Miss Elizabeth Maguire of the College of Home Economics that they solved a problem in house furnishing.
One of the most interesting problems was that chosen by Miss Dorothy Garner which was a 5-room apartment on the top floor of an old house on Beacon Hill, Boston, as Miss Garner assisted her sister in selecting the furnishings of the apartment and duplicated prices in Kansas City and Lawrence in making up the list of furnishings. She accrued figures for figure 12 of her articles framed the second-band stores; the attie of an old farm house, the remanent counters, the private sales of furniture and the paint pot.
The $500 budget presumes that the little house will grow into a residence therefore it includes only the articles that will have a permanent place in the dining room, at the dining room may, at a later date, be refinished and moved into the sun parlor or the library. The table silver is sterling and almost extravagant unless one considers it an expanse unattended and the beginning of full service.
This apartment had a living room, a dining room, two bedrooms, kitchen, bath and an entrance hall. The fund of $26 for the entrance hall could be transferred to the living room or kitchen as very few rooms were made. The six skin-brained rugs were made at home and not listed in the expense account. A bolt of Shantung at $13 and dyed a soft color was a grenret saving in drapery expenses and an excellent substitute for carpet in white viltied a creamy shade was for the living room and bedrooms.
The cushions and the gray colorene parchment lamp shades give the artistic color spots to the living room. Since the dining room had an open grate, it required less furniture. Bolt bedrooms were furnished alike be cause at a later date the furniture was to be used in a larger room with bedded windows or kitchen with edison edition of place, but the wore may be made an attractive yellow and the towels worked up, if the same color.
The total reckoning was: General expenses $39.00; Dining room $64.00; Living room $44.55; two bedrooms $24.70; Kitchen $21.29.
Another budget was worked on by Louise Holdman and Dorothy Ensinger, Kansas City girl who actually volunteered to fund the Kansas City to fit their budgets.
Of course there are those who will scaff off the price list but nevertheless many co-ads are convinced with their own keeping with less than a million.

In a telephone conversation with Professor Flint, of the department of journalism, he said that he thought a course in export advertising would be beneficial to students because of the possibilities in this field.

Novelist Thinks K. U. Fortunate In Selection of its Site Rather Than in Architecture and Plo
"the campus of the University of Kansas looks as though it had just grown," says Julian Street, the novelist. An unprejudiced view of K. U. is always interesting to University students. Such views are "at the front of "Abroad at Home" under the chapter, "A College Town." (Speoner Library.)
He has a great deal to say about the wonderful site of the University, but asks that the University has been more fortunate in the selection of its site than in its architecture and the arrangement of its grounds.
Mr. Street chose to investigate the University of Kansas on his travels as the University of the most argyriatic college in the country visiting the University of Wisconsin.
"Nevertheless," he concludes in a kindly way, "there is a kind of home charm about the place with its unimposing helper-keller piles of brick and stone, its fine trees and its sweeping view."
His preconceived ideas of most western state universities, he says, was that they were crude and ill-equipped. K. U., he confesses has shown him he is wrong, as it has excellent equipment, a live faculty, and an advanced student body, much more homogeneous and much more unanimous in its hunger for education than student bodies in eastern universities as he has observed them. The cost of operation is slight. In 1914, sixteen large universities averaged $223 per person. One reason he gives the low salary paid to the
THE REAL TROUBLE
Some negroes were discussing the sudden passing away of a small darky. The cause of the disaster was clear enough to one of the men, "Do be chilo jez 'died from eatin' too much matahillmillion," h explained.
One of the others looked his doubts.
"Hish!" he grunted cozily. "Dad isn't no such thing as too much wall-smillion. Debt was trouble dar wan't stuff buoy."-Ladley Home Journal.
The "Wisconsin idea" of linking up the state university with the practical life of the people of the state did not originate in Wisconsin but in Kannas where it is still growing in power and influence, according to the soovelt.
professors—much too low, he thinks.
Harvard has the highest maximum of
$5,500. Californian, Cornell and Yale
have a $5,000 maximum. Kansas has
the lowest maximum of all universi-
ties—$2,500. (1911 statistics.)
Before leaving New York Mr. Street had been told by a distinguished professor that the students he got from the West almost invariably had them in those in the East. Mr. Street hies this to the fact that western boys and girls go to college to work and learn, as well as to have a good time, and to learn practical skills rather than some vague culture.
Mr. Street gives a very detailed description of the departments of the University, their work and their prominent professors, with advice from him and a visit he wishes all Americans could take. He longs for some plan for "swapping" students between universities in the east and in the west, a plan which he believes will help them to the "young eastern aristocrats, spenders, and disciples of false culture."
"The greatest trouble with America today," says Mr. Street, "is that we are too localized, and when we travel, "Arab at Home." Hence his book, "Abread at Home."
"Paw," asked little Clarence Callipers who has an inquiring mind. "what do congressmen go to Washington for?"
"To make sneeches for the Congressional Record, my son," replied his sage sire.
"What is the Congressional Record. Paw?"
"A publication which exists for the sole purpose of printing congressmen's speeches."—Country Gentlemen.
