York Editor Believes
Journalism Schools Supply
Newspapermen Of Future
"I traveled around so much that I'm never surprised at anything I see," was the reply that Mr. Jackson Rogers, publisher of the New York Globe made this afternoon when asked by a reporter from the University Daily Kansan what he thought of Kansas. "But seriously, I do think Kansas is a lovely spot, and I believe Allen White will admit to Kansas about him." There was a lot of bickish things that never occur here.
The only thing that keeps Mr. Rogers from being able to be passed off in Lawrence, as a prosperous Kansas business man is that eastern habit of sticking "” on to words that have no business with one.
He is one of the few newspaper men who have been at the newspaper grind for the last forty years, and still have a sense of humor left. And this sense of humor crops out all the time when Mr. Rogers talks.
Despite the fact that he belongs to the order of the "Knights of the Polished Dome," and has been in the newspaper business for forty years, he is only a few inches his age. He is about 5 feet eight inches tall and is stockily built. He
CHARACTER BUILDING TOPIC AT Y. LUNCHEON
M. H. McKean of Topeka Spoke at Last Luncheon of School Lear
M. H. McKean, state secretary of the Y. M. C. a, from Topela and "Dutu" Wedell, spoke at the luncheon noon closing the luncheon series for the year. A final appeal to the men to attend the conference at Estes Park
Mr. McKean pointed out the advantages to be derived by attending the conference. "The things that make character cannot be bought or bartered, but must be caught and they can be caught only by contact with men with really big characters," and Sidney Parks said, noting that Eske Park means to many men."
"Dutch" Wedell, who has been connected with the Y. M. C. A. here for several years and has been a very active worker, made his farewell speech and also urged the men to go to the conference.
The beauty of the scenery at the Park was emphasized by Mr. Wedell in his talk. He also enumerated three main purposes of the conferences. First, he asks the men help the men confirm in their own mind the fundamental problems of religion. The second is to challenge college men to work in an effort to become a force in the world and another purpose is to challenge the men to give this energy to world problems and not wholly to their own pleasures.
The Phi Mu Alpha orchestra furnished music.
Engineering Grad Favors Meter and Gram System
That O. L. Lewis, C. E,'94, chief engineer for the Southern Motor Manufacturing Association of Houston, Tex has come out in favor of the adoption of the metric system was made known by a letter written to Mr. Lewis to Fuller and Son Manufacturing Co. of Kalamazoo, Mich. in answer to a letter written by that company protecting against the metric system. Mr. Lewis believes strongly that a measure advocates adoption as a measure of efficiency both in time and accuracy.
Mr. Lewis was graduated from the School of Engineering of the University in 1904. He was formerly civil engineer in the Tractor Department of the Molina Plant and he was actively engaged automobile and tractor production. He is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
Russian Soviets Advance
**Russian Navy Advance**

wore a business suit of a dark mixed gray material, which by the way of conservation, he said that he had about the only old suit that he hadn't worn for the last six years, and was given away to the Belgians. He also wore a illuminating dhl arm wrist coat, but he has not seen of most editors—he never glanced at the watch once while being interviewed.
Mr. Rogers is a firm believer in schools of journalism and preparatory work for young journalists. He began his newspaper career in 1788 and became a school school. Mr. Rogers admits that he does not know one single rule of the English language, and that all he does know is the spoken language of journalism and adds his books on journalism are written in newspaper style throughout.
"I believe that the journalism schools will develop newspaper men of the future. It will be their job to educate them about gender and women their foundation—and although they will have to work hard at first they will surpass all us old editors who have just the knowledge to enter the industry into us from actual experience."
Plain Tales From The Hill
"In those days?" interrogated masculine voice from the back row.
"There wasn't much chance to blush in those days, they were so thoroughly painted," remarked Miss Lynn, speaking of the Eighteenth century.
The ideal course of study nowadays includes classes under Dr. W. L. Blackmar, Prof. R. A. Schwegler, and other popular speakers. The only greater challenge is that the high school commencements would take place throughout the whole year.
Prof. H. B. Chubb had been giving some assignments to the students in the class of Americans Government for work on Supreme Court decisions. He asked, "What are your alphabet, when he asked, 'Now, who of the S's haunt not a case?'

Publisher of New York Globe Sees Greatest Advantages in Middle West
Lure of City is Deceptive
Wages Only Relatively High and Competition for Rewards Exceedingly Keen
"In Kansas and the middle west, the opportunities for the young men and women are the greatest of any place in the United States. The state is yet young and the time for development is now ripe. We don't need you and don't want you in Kansas where you can be of the greatest benefit to your community, your country and your state.
"My advice to the young Kansas journalists is to stay in Kansas and develop their own state," said Jason Rogers, publisher of the New York Globe this afternoon in his talk before the students of the department of journalism. "The mistake that they make is not to think that they must get to New York or some other big metropolis before they can make a success.
JUST A COG IN NEW YORK
"In New York, a man who enters the journalism game is just a cog in a great mass of machinery. His individuality is handicapped, unless he is one of those more fortunate individuals who finally breaks through the barriers that keep him in his own community he can accomplish the same amount of work in one-tenth the effort. Take for example William Allen White and the newspaper work. Why he actually wrote it? It's not hard. New York editors have to grind.
"The way that the young Kannan mer and women can best serve their community is to promote co-operative enterprises in the cotton industry in Kansas. If the farmers and merchants of the state would start their own manufacturing plants for the making of the many products and label it all. Kannan mer's material is made from a material to some large manufacturing center in the east and then having the product of the state come out under the name of "Pilliburly, the Bush," such a desire on the part of the young people to go to the great cities.
the great writer WAGES ONLY RELATIVE
"The high wages paid in the larger cities is the cause for the influx of the small town population to the cities" Mr. Rogers continued. "The average man does not realize that his salary really no better than those paid in their own community, because it costs so much more to live there. Nine out of ten, the western boy who goes east to work would come back home when he were not ashamed to admit that he was affluent in the city.
RAPS HEARST PAPERS
Before closing his talk to the students Mr. Rogers spoke of William Randolph Heart and his papers. "He is the greatest menace to Americanism. He was the greatest anti-British, ant-everything else except German during World War II." And all the Sunday circulation of papers in the United States. His papers are giving great publicity to the Underwood Wood Pulp Bill now pending in congress, and this bill will be the greatest blow to the friendly feeling among the English people of British. The British people can not understand how the American people will tolerate such malign influence from one man.
