ALBINO RABBIT MAKES
DEBUT IN K.U. MUSEUM
Freak Bunny From Anderson County to Have Important Place in His Set
A rabbit has just been received at the museum from Anderson county. It is a common rabbit, except that it is entirely white. Most people believe that any white animal that comes from a dark species is certainly an entirely new species. Because of this fact, people over the state finding any white animal from a darkened species immediately ship it to the museum here. Several of these specimens are mounted at the museum.
These animals are of scientific value only in the study of albinism and melanism but they are of concern to scientists in unique specimens of the animals.
Among these rare animals at the museum are several white quail, a perfectly white squirrel which was taken from a nest of dark red squirrils, a white o'possum, a white kingbird, a white meadowlark, and a common crow almost entirely white in plumage.
A white animal that comes from a species that is usually white is simply an albino of the species to which it belongs. The difference is explained by authorities on albinism in animals by the fact that there is an absence of pigment in the lower layers of the epidermis which is necessary for the color of the animal.
SURVEY FOR LAWRENCE
All of the eight organizations which are interested in city affairs have agreed to undertake the investigation. The department of sociology will outline the campaign in detail tonight.

DEAN BLACKMAR FAVORS
K. U. SCHOOL AT PRISON
Investigator of Conditions at Lansing Says Extension Department Could do Good.
The recent plans of the Extension Division to furnish instruction to the prisoners of the State Penitentiary at Lansing meets the hearty approval of Dean W. Blackmar of the Graduate School of the state committee in charge of the rebuilding of the prison.
"Years ago there was no attempt to educate prisoners at all," said Professor Blackmar today. "Finally a little school was started on Sunday afternoon, and later evening schools, but these have been poorly equipped and poorly managed. Today the school meets part in the dining room, part in the chapel, and part somewhere else.
"The whole problem at present is inadequately treated. There should be a schoolhouse, with a professional teacher appointed by the warden or the governor, or whoever has power, and he should have such paid assistance as he needs. He should use it as his sole capable of giving him further assistance. But the whole system of education should be changed.
"The penitentiary is made to save men, not to destroy them, and first of all they should be educated to do something useful. With the amount of power that is developed by cheap coal and cheap labor, it would be very easy to install an industrial education which would be valuable to the prisoners. Perhaps the education in the elementary branches should be continued for all but the would be school be talked of so much ought to be changed into a real systematic education which would satisfy the various needs of the prisoners. Where necessary, short time in labor should be given prisoners to allow them to attend school.
"A trade school could be so arranged as to become self-supporting by the production of education. While the present effort of value is still being accomplished, our pears to me that the educational work might be greatly enlarged."
