UNIVERSITY REQUIRMENTS O.K.'ED BY STATE BOARD
Standards for Teachers Diploma in School of Education Protected by Recent Action
The following statement was made at a meeting the State Board of Education held at Topeka recently: "The State Board of Education willed certificates to students of approved colleges only when such graduates shall have met the professional diploma requirements of their respective institutions provided that these local regulations prevent the bearer equal to the minimum requirement of the State Board of Education for state certificates."
This means that the State Board of Education will protect the present standards of the University teachers' diploma and that candidates for rst estate teachers' certificates who are graduates of the University of Kansas must have met the requirements for the University teachers' diploma as given on page 14 of the 1913-14 announcements of the School of Education, which are as follows:
1. Candidates for both the teachers' diploma and the bachelor's degree must offer 125 hours of undergraduate work including fifteen hours in the School of Education (at least twelve in the department of Education). At that time a change was made, in which grades 9 to 12 were accepted and only fifteen hours of undergraduate work required instead of one hundred and twenty-five. This arrangement caused so much inconvenience that the School of Education requested the State Board of Education to again change the requirement for students to meet the action will become effective September 15, 1914.
2. Candidates for the teachers' diploma shall be required to offer a teacher's course in some academic subject. The pre-requisite for a teacher's course shall be not less than twenty nor more than twenty-five hours in the subject in which the teachers' course is given or in closely allied subjects, whether education, and three hours in educational psychology. All teachers' courses, not including credits for practice, shall be not less than two nor more than four hours for one semester in length, and shall be open to students of senior and graduate standing. By permission of the Dean a portion of the work described above as pre-requisite may be taken at the same time as the teachers' course and special mature students under certain conditions, with the approval of the Dean, may specialize in education course in lieu of a teachers' course.

J. M. Johnson, president of the sophomore class, has talked with Mrs. Willis and she is willing to let the boys pay her for the expense of repairs without any further trouble. So the sophomore president has appointed a committee to collect the money to pay the damage.
"I think all those who were there and want to be square about the matter will be willing to give the committee a small sum to pay the damage and it will not be very hard on anybody," said Johnson today. "We have always been aware that she has to be fair with the boys but she thinks she should be paid for all the damage done. There is no doubt that there was damage so there is nothing for those who were there to do but settle it."

ADVANCED REQUIREMENTS CAUSE MEDIC DECREASE
Dean Crumbine Thinks Raised Standards is Reason for Falling Off of Physicians
That the raising of entrance requirements and the raising of the standards for graduation are the chief causes for the decreases in the number of medical schools and students, is the opinion of S. J. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine, of the University.
"The raising of the standards of the medical schools has forced those schools which were unable to comply with the requirements- out of business," he said today. "Again the requirements of two years college work before beginning the study of medicine has kept out many of the students who have attended one or more medical students at the University is increasing. There is no profession, not even the clergy, that is doing more work for the benefit of humanity than the profession of medicine.
"How many times does the doctor get up in the middle of the night, whether it be stony or not, and travel for miles without any clothes? How often do those fessions are there that are attempting to prevent the work on which their business must depend? If we were not working for the welfare of mankind we would not be doing all the work that we are doing for the prevention of disease. The prevention of medicine has always been so."
Doctor Crumbine believes that those who are all the time trying to run down some profession have nothing to look after on their own part.
