STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY TOPEKA KAN. UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XI. URGES COOPERATION IN STATE SCHOOLS UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 29, 1913. Chancellor Strong Gives RensonsIn Manhattan Address Today TEACHERS SHOULD AVOID LAW Students Ought to Follow Vocation Which Fits Individual—Predicts Professional Examinations 1914 JAYHAWKER BOARD ANNOUNCED TODAY "It items to me," said Chancellor Frank Strong, in an address at the semi-centennial celebration of the Kansas State Agricultural College at Manhattan today, that the watchful operation; that the teaching bodies of each institution must have and exercise powers of initiative and internal control in order to visualize and develop their own problems and maintain their own integrity and independence. At the same time the Board will also normally work with the Board of Administration and every other proper agency of education in the state in their every endeavor to secure a true and fundamental cooperation to the end that our education, while as diverse as the different agencies connected after all have a true and noble unity. "Kansas educates more students to the acre than most of the states in the Union," Dr. Frank Strong continued. "The total cost to higher education in Kansas is large. It is commonly assumed that the cost per institution and er student must be excessive and that duplication must be the cause of it. This belief is unreasonable. If there were any duplication, the cost per student would be exceptionally high, while as a matter of fact, the cost of education in the Kansas Agricultural College and the University is below the average of other institutions of like rank. Considerable responsibility as well as honor came to a number of University seniors today when they were made members of the Jayhawker board which will edit the 1914 annual. Above is last year's board. "The large cost of education in Kansas arises rather from the unprecedented numbers of young people that Kansas undertakes to educate. In 1911-12, K. U. and K. S. A. C. had 4,594 students. If Iowa had educated as many students as Kansas, instead of 4,163 resident students in its university and agricultural college, it would have had 6,317; Wisconsin, instead of having 3,945 would have had 6,341; Indiana of 3,889 would have had 7,399; Michigan instead of 4,509 would have had 7,636; Missouri instead of 2,740 students would have 8,949; and Illinois instead of 3,504 would have had 15,322." Chancellor Strong advocated introduction of a system in Kansas under which students will select the trade or profession for which they are bets fitted. He forecasted the time when they will be given a scientific examination to test their powers before adopting a profession. A district meeting of the W. S. G. A. was held last night at Dr. Alberta Corbin's residence on Ohio street. Miss Corbin entertained the company with the reading of "Cupid a la carte," by O. Henry. The Y. W. C. A. puts on a special program at the Patee and Oread "movies" next Tuesday. The Y. M. gets all but running expenses, Boddington, Kit Carson, and "Vic" Bottomley are arranging the program, which will be announced Friday. "Vic" has fixed it up with the Student Council to lift the weeknight date rule on the date of the week. The student goes toward an association feed. The Daily Kansan board will meet it seven o'clock tonight. NUMBER 33. "I hope to see in the University over which I preside the development of competent agencies for inclusion and integration of students to develop their capacity and to meet the needs of each," he asserted. "Courses should be introduced and other means afforded for vocational guidance and to give information concerning industry professors and business callings." Chancellor Strong pointed out that the salaries in the colleges and universities are lower than they have ever been in the history of the institutions, as far as the relation of purchasing power and living conditions is concerned. He showed that although salaries had remained stable, their numbers had forty-four per cent since 1897, and urged an immediate bettering of conditions to hold the best men and women in the teaching profession.

MICHIGAN LAUDS YOST And He Was "Some Coach" When He Tutored Kansas "Dick Gardner Writes Sport Richard Gardner, editor-in-chief of the daily Kansan last year, has been made sport editor of the Fort Worth Record. Two other University men, Omar Hite and W. W. Ferguson, have good positions on the same daily. Coach Fielding H. Yost has the greatest football record of any active coach, according to the Michigan Daily Maroon. He has won 87 games with his Michigan teams in 12 years, lost 9 and tied 7. The team last Saturday the 10th game for Yost as coach at Michigan. Coach Yost's record while in the Missouri Valley was nearly as good as his subsequent records. He was coach for Kansas in 1899, and turned out an ever-victorious team, defeating both Nebraska and Missouri by decisive scores. The year before, he was coach at Washburn and his team that year beat Kansas. For one year he was coach at Browns. For another year he was coach at that school; one of the defeats being administered by Kansas. At nearly every school where he has coached he has had teams that were able to stand up with the best in their class, so Michigan's boast of having the greatest active coach is not likely to be seriously questioned. "Dick" Gardner Writes Sport BETAS AND PHI PSIS WILL . A reserve squad for the Varsity football team is expected to result from the challenge issued by the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity to the Beta Theta Pi today to a game of football, to be played in the near future. For forfeiture clause is being drafted today between the rival fraternities. The winners of the game will be fed at the Eldridge house by the losers; or, in case either team fails to show up the banquet by forfeit. Coaches Mosee and Frank are highly enthusiastic over the scheme. TWO DEPARTMENTS GET DICTAPHONES ON TRIAL Two Edison dictating machines were received by the University this morning for trial, one for use in the department of journalism and the other in the extension department. Prof. D. C. Croissant estimates that the machines would more than pay for the amount of work and time saved, if they were installed permanently. This is especially true of the extension department where the correspondence is extremely heavy, he says. Mechanicals Meet Thursday The students' section of American Society of Mechanical Engineers will hold its weekly meeting October 10 at 7 p.m. vineyne, Bangher, and Benedict will report. All mechanics are urged to be present. The meeting will be held at 1301 Ohio. The Entomology Club met yesterday afternoon in Snow hall. A discussion of the current entomology journals was a part of the program. Mechanicals Meet Thursday K. N. G. COMPETITION WON BY-SERGE TODD WON BY-SERGT. TODD The medal for the best showing in the K. N, G. competition drill held last night was won by Sergeant Edward Todd. Subscribe for the Daily Kansan. E. E. Kelley Tells Journalists How “These drills are held at the end of each month after the regular drills,” said Captain Frank E. Jones. “The medal however does not become the property of a different man each month but goes to the man doing the best” in each drill. “The medal of honor comes the property of the one who has won it the most times during the year.” The drill held last night in the gymnasium was the first this year. ALUMNUS WILL BECOME INSTRUCTOR AT WASHBURN G. W. Kleihege, '11, an assistant instructor in the School of Education during the year 1911-12, received an appointment this morning as instructor of education and philosophy at Washburn College. Mr. Kleheire is a graduate of Salina Wesleyan, receiving his M. A. degree here. He was the state candidate for governor in 2015, and he won the last election, and has for a number of years spent much of his time in political work. The department of chemistry has received a small generator set for the determination of the conductivities in a liquid ammonia solution. It produces a high frequency, alternating between 500 and 1000 times per second. D. N. Bowen, secretary of the Board of Administration, was in Lawrence on official business today. E. E. Kelley, editor and owner on the Toronto Republican, spoke to the students of the department of journalism on country newspaper work yesterday afternoon. Mr. Kelley is one of the best knit sewapaper men of the show, and his address was interesting and humorous. has a big mission, and is a great field for young men to enter. He told of the problems that confront the country newspaper editor, and how they must be met. He believes that the country newspaper Mr. Kelley was a school teacher until four years ago, when he took control of the Toronto Republican. He entered the newspaper game with no experience, and in four years the newspaper widely quoted over the country. At the close of his speech Mr. Kelley recited an original poem, "Tommy O'Dowd," which the students greatly appreciated. MODEST BENEFACTOR GIVES $500 TO Y. M. Philanthropist Believes In Distributing Money During His Lifetime The University Y. M. C. A. has been made happy by the gift of $500 yesterday from one of the most prominent men in Kansas who believes that "it is a thousand times better to distribute our means while they are still needed and that secure the blessings promised in the sixth chapter of Mathew." The money comes from a man who has never had any children in the University, and this shows, Secretary Hoffman says, that the Association is winning not only the confidence of the students but is also proving its value to the big men over the state. Con Hoffman is very much pleased with the gift for he feels that it helps bring the association to the place where it belongs in the lives of the men students of the university supported entirely by voluntary contributions from faculty, students, and friends. The expenses this year will approximate $4,000 and this $500 gift will help greatly in meeting this budget. Several new departments have been established this year. The employment bureau has been enlarged and has helped many students through school. GIVES FAREWELL ADDRESS Mrs. W. C. Payne Tells Y. W. About Alumni in India Mrs. Wallace C. Payne, who is to leave soon for Indianapolis, gave her last talk to the Y. W. C. A. yesterday afternoon at the regular association meeting.

INVITES PROFESSOR TO WHIP JAYHAWK Nebraska Alumni Ask Him To "Jine In" On The Killing Killing Prof. L. N. Flint has been invited by the Nebraska alumni association to join them at Lawrence and help them whip their old rivals, the Jayhawkers. He is also referred to as a "Dear Cornhusker" and invited to Kansas City on the Friday preceding the game to say "hello" at the Coates House. He is promised the best hotel fare in Lawrence that the town can provide. In spite of the cordiality of the invitation Professor Flint is forced not to accept his offer, so he chooses Johnsburgh alumnus, it is not Jayhawkster meat he is looking for. On the other hand he expects to help pull a few husks from our northern rivals on that fateful day himself. Following is the letter which was probably sent to him by mistake: "Dear Cornhuskers: You are no doubt aware that we play the Jayhawkers at Lawrence, on November 15th. The old University is going to send a special trainful of enthusiasts from Lincoln. "Why not join us at Lawrence and help us help our old rival? We need you, and a little communion with the active students, professors, and good Lincoln sports who will accompany our team, will do you good. "We will headquarter at the best hotel in Lawrence. If you happen to be in Kansas City on Friday, Nov. 14, drop in to the Coates House and say 'hello.' Guy E. Reed, acting secretary."
