Another Important Purpose
Here Is That of Teach-
"The work of the graduate schools and departments is increasing day by day in spite of the fact that some people are so narrow in their educational vision as to assume that graduate work does not amount to much," said Dean Blackmar, head of the Graduate School of the University or Kansas.
"It should be the duty of every student to understand the ideals and motives of the graduate school and to help develop, extend, and substantially support the graduate department of his own university. Graduate schools have two main purposes: research and teaching."
INVESTIGATE AND TEACH "In most instances, investigation and teaching in universities and colleges go hand in hand. In preparation to this, graduate schools are preparing people for research in scientific laboratories. The standing of an educational institution is today determined by the amount and quality of good work done in the graduate department. In fact, no institution in higher education has yet to be a university without a well-developed graduate school.
ONLY ONE IN STATE
"The University of Kansas is the only institution in the state that prefers to do graduate work. The Graduate School has a great field of operation in the southwest, from whence many of its students come, and the University itself has a great opportunity in its Graduate School."
At the convention of the American Association of Universities, from which Dean Blackmar has recently returned, various methods of further fostering and developing research and educational work were discussed.
CLASS TEAMS TO START PRACTICE
Junior and Senior Women Will Hold Regular Practice Until Christmas
The junior and senior women of the University will line up for the first basketball practice of the season in Robinson Gymnasium tomorrow night. Regular practice will be held twice a week until Christmas vacation following which the competitive class will have three workouts can be had before Thanksgiving will make it necessary for the practices to be strenuous.
The freshmen and sophomores have the advantage of the upperclassman in the line of practice. Basketball has been the regular workout for the gymnasium classes for a large part of this semester and the goal shooters in these classes are in good training to serve as practice hours and the constant practice has developed stars among the underclasses.
The sophomores won the championship cup last year. This year the same team is practically intact with the exception of one member, Irene Tien, who did not return to school. The other girls will place on the team and the junior girls will put up a good scrap for the championship again this year.
The seniors made a good showing last year and it is possible that they can get in line for the title this year. The first practice is expected to draw a large number of the senior women and before the vacation period starts there will be rounded in shape compete with the trained underclasses.
The schedule for the interclass games which start early in January has not been announced. It will be attended at a meeting in the near future.
The time for the practices for the upperclass women has been set for 1:30 on Tuesday and Thursday as well as Saturday, the largest number. Miss Haza Pratt, director of women's sports has hopes of seeing the largest number of women ever entered in a sport out for basketball this year. Basketball has become one of the fastest-growing women at the University and its popularity is increasing each year.

IS WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD
A Man, Economically, Is Worth More Than That, Says Do Hell
A striking question deserves a striking answer, and this is what Dr. Hall gave to a reporter yesterday in the university's news service, a general message at the University.
"I had a chance to find out from one of the most important business men in the United States not long ago whether or not a man was worth his weight in gold. I put the question to him point blank, and quick as a flash, he asked me what I meant by a man.
"I was more startled by his question than he was by mine, but after thinking a moment, I answered that by a man I meant a fellow about twenty-three years old, weighing around 160 pounds, well mannered, with an impeccable sense of average mental capacity and a high school and college education, and a year of experience; straight and above reproach morally, and in good health; a worker, and one who could take care of himself within his private domain. Is such a man! I asked this prominent man, worth his weight in cold?"
“Dr. Hall,” replied the man, “if you could capitalize such a man at his weight in gold, and we could pay him five per cent on his capitilation, we would take ten of him today. We would pay for that, but if that we have in our business today, and we would start him in at five per cent on his capitilation.”
"That," said Dr. Hall, "is the viewpoint of the business leaders today, and if you would look into the future, if you could see that it is probably more solid than mine."
Dr. Hall spoke yesterday afternoon to a large crowd of University men in Myers Hall on "The Young Man's Problem."

A program of eight dances followed the farces after which refreshments were served. Miss Stella Bedell a former student of the University and a member of the Pi Beta Phi security played for the dancers. The final football game abruptly home Sweet Home number.
