THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Many parents regard dormitories as necessary safeguards for their daughters. The University probably loses more money than it gains, which provide halls of residence. Dormitories as I have known them have insured more privacy to the individual student than a rooming house can. Each student has a suite and is shared with another suite of two rooms. The dormitory has also furnished parlors where students can entertain callers and even have parties without incom-
and even have parties without incon-
flicting anyone.
Effective self government with firm maintenance of quiet for study hours is promoted by dormitory organization. It is impossible to standardize conditions in rooming-houses in the same degree.
Dormitory life is a great educator. Lower class students are stained and given higher standards of conduct and scholarship by the more thoughtful among upperclassmen. Through the living together of people from different places and different upbringing, the selfish are made more moderate, the narrow and saintly more ambitious, and the unorthod more pre-aware.
The life of the dornitories is joyful and often charming. It is grounded in a stability and corditude causal, sooing *cannibalism*, *stunt*s, the opportunity to offer hospitality, these become the portion of every girl. After graduation students revisit their college dornitories with a sense of humor, and Josephine Bardham, assistant professor of English, formerly of Wellsley.
LABORATORY IS AID IN CRIME DETECTION
Has Handled 6500 Civil and Criminal Cases in Last Thirteen Years
The law breaker in Kansas today faces a modern method of detecting crime. Behind the closed doors of the State Drug Laboratory at the University of Kansas are workers who have made it no easy task for the criminal to escape the law. The efficiency of this modern crime detector is issued by the fact that the laboratory has handled 6,500 civiliansimal cases during the thirteenth annual case during the threeteenth P.O. Box 24, Sevier, dean of the school of pharmacy and director of the State Drug Laboratory.
In the last twelve months twenty criminal cases have been brought to this laboratory for examination. The authorities have issued boards of health and Kansas courts. These cases included murder, attempted murder, non-observance of the law relating to the sale of tobacco products, and non-observance of the old-narcotic law.
At Cornell, all of the women students live either in doritories or organized houses. At present, the two dormitories, Sage College and Prudence Rialey Hall, house only a few of the women in these rooms.
The State Drug Laboratory as a crime detector centers its work on four types of cases, namely, analysis of stomach contents for poisoning; of food accessories, such as spices, coffees and teas; of various remedial agents, often in prescription form; and of beverages in connection with
than the overflow is forced to room in smaller houses and board in the dormitories. In this way the dormitories are preserved as centers of social life among the women—Sage for the Frohnman and Juniors, and Risley for the Sophomores and Seniors. Both the Halls have Recreation Rooms which are used for organization meetings, dances, and theatricals. This makes it possible for women living in outside houses and sororities to benefit by the dormitories. In this way the dor-University activities. Both Sage and Risley were gifts to the University
and are most delightfully and comfortably furnished. There is always a long waiting list for dorsory chairs, since they must be continuously entertained at the dormitories, so an opportunity is afforded the women to meet many persons of distinction. In fact, all the most interesting elephants need their own chairs to the dormitories. All of these factors, pleasant living conditions, happy companionship, and social opportunities—combine to make life in a dorsory the most ideal one for a family.

The two halls of residence which Wisconsin now has are the centers of the women's lives there, according to Miss Dorothy Greene, K. U. instructor, who took her degree from Wiscounor. Sororities do not hold a prominent place in the school life; the students look to the dormitory women both start hockey and wrestling at Highland Chambourie Hall and Barnard Hall, are on the campus and serve as a community center for the town women, many of whom take lunch there all women who are not in the dormitories board in their dining halls.
A big democratic, sisterly spirit exists among the women. Barnard Hall, the newer of the two, is built in such a way that each corridor is a unit and every room has one corridor entertaining another out in the spacious halls. There is a great deal of richness between the Chalbourne and Barnard, which is fed constantly by contacts between their respective basketball ball, hockey and skating teams, as well as the contests in scholastic games. Special men are given to the six ranking highest as all-round women.
Life in the dormitories is so popular that it is necessary to draw lots to determine who shall live in the halls. As a rule, a special effort is made to house the freshman women first, dividing the remaining rooms between the three upper classes Fraternity freshmen are required to live in the Halls. In Chauchoire there are many single rooms and some rooms where in Barnard the rooms are all single except the corner ones. They are small and cozy and of uniform rent, $100 for the year being the rule for the rent bill.

Among the most commonly detected poisons are strychnine in candies and other sweets, and the soluble salts may be called upon at any time to act as expert witnesses in the cases which come in for their consideration. However, their findings in the laboratory are difficult to understand and thus interesting material is available for publication.

WHAT KIND OF EDUCATION
"The decision of the legislature which meets next March will decide not only the kind of education this generation of University students receive, but the kind of education that the young people in the state will receive. This year is the critical year which will decide whether the state institutions are to receive the support which they have been lacking since the war. Kansas ranks twenty seventh in its public school system as compared with other states. As a result of this lack of interest and support for the schools of the state, it is sending more students to schools out of the state than any other of the mid-western states.
"Kansas ranks absolutely at the bottom as to salaries and the expenditures in general which are required to run a university. If Kansas doesn't
run a university, facilities for education in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, and the rest of them, no one loses but Kansas. The sons of rich men can go to Yale and Harvard and the expensive schools of the East. That is their choice the same as yours. But when they go East for their education it is a proven fact that their interests are in the East and their name state is the loser, as it only necessarily follows that where a man's interests are, there will go to live his life and there will be the residency of the society in which he lives.
UNIVERSITY MUST PRODUCE LEADER
"if we do not train our own professional men we are going to have to be dependent upon what other states can spare us—and we may know that they are not going to give us their best. There is no way to develop leadership in a state other than by a university."
"The value of education as an aid to efficiency, and the actual returns in money of an educated class of people to a state was aptly illustrated by the Chancellor. "It has been agreed is worth ten cents, that a sewing machine is worth $30,000. If Herbert Hoover, the greatest engineer in the world, were to come to Kansas today and say that he was going to devote the next ten years of his life to real estate values would jump tomorrow. The product of a university, if he has been well trained gives infinitely more to the
state which educated him than he received. A university in the greatest producer of wealth in a state

BEST TRAINED MEN or NOT?
Mr. Lindley admitted the illustration of Thomas A. Edison as a self-educated man so often used in school books, but it could be considered that Edison had materials to work with which were possible by trained men. The word-'work' of Mr. Edison would have been impossible if some great group of highly educated and scientific men had not prepared the way for him in school; muchachery, too, required information.
