Big Jump in Two Months Made by Seniors Who Got Government Appointment in Orient
From a student earning his way through college to supervising teacher over ten schools, fourteen teachers and 600 native students in the wilds of Mindanao Island, Philippines, 75 miles from any other American and among natives who yet live in trees and exist in primitive savagery, is the jump made within two months by Ralph Frush, last spring a senior engineer at the University.
Shortly before the end of the spring semester Frush and four other University students, Stanley Pinkerton, Wayne Edwards, Floyd Moody and James Lawrence, received government appointments to positions in the Philippines and sailed from San Francisco May 3. The five are now engaged in teaching and engineering work at different places there.
Two Months to Reach Station
According to a letter just received and written over a month ago, Frush reached his station at the municipality of Talacogon, province of Augustan, island of Mindanao, just exactly two months from the day he left Lawrence.
He is in latitude 8 degrees, 31 minutes north, or about 500 miles from the equator. The island has never been well explored and is full of swamps, dense tropical vegetation and natives almost untouch by civilization.
Very Different From K. U.
"I sleep every night between woolen blankets and it rains almost daily.
All travel is by river in native canoes made of hollow logs and which are very easily upset. I cannot swim. I am the only American in 75 miles. My district is 50 miles long and 30 wide. . . All distances are measured by hours. It is two days travel up river in one place and five hours coming back down, the river is so swift. . . I can visit my schools about once every two months. . .
River Travel Dangerous
"Canoe travel on the river isn't fun. You can appreciate it by sitting all day under the kitchen table and then going to sleep there without once getting out. For meals you can have canned crackers, canned meat and boiled river water.
"For company there are two or three savages, nearly naked, and tattooed, who do not speak English. Don't forget the sun and rain on the table top either and be sure and sit very still or you'll tip the boat over. The latter would be disastrous, for these waters are crocodile-infested.
Gives Mayor Cigar to you
"When you come to a harripo you get out and walk up the center of town. Everyone there since an American doesn't come every day. Shake hands with the Presidente himself and give him a cigarette, lhot one yourself and inform him through an interpreter that you are going to sleep in the Tribuna I tonight. . . I don't know yet which is the most comfortable way to sleep, —parallel to the bamboo in the floor, or at right angles to it. . .
My district is non-Christian all except my own town. The people are Monobos and many live in trees yet.

Eats Meat From Armour's
It is all very interesting but I
shall be ready to leave when my time
is up, unless I get a bolo stuck in my
back. I have canned meat from
Armour's, Kansas City, Kan. Bananas are worth 10 cents a bunch.
An American must do no manual labor here or he loses cast at once.
"I attended a dance in my honor in a town where I founded a school. I can't dance, . . . and I hated to start to learn since the girls were all barefooted."
Dr. H. E. Wolfe, of the First Methodist church discusses the return to the Kansas-Missouri football game to Kansas City in his Sunday night prelude talk.
The students are much interested in Rev. Wolfe's Sunday night prelude talk on "Should the Kansas-Missouri football game be played in Kansas City."

(Winner of the First Prize in the Fashion Shows Poster Competition)
THE United fashion Shows of 1913, will be held in Kansas City, Monday, Sept. 29th to Saturday, Oct. 4th, inclusive. They will consist of displays of the newest developments in the World of fashion, both for ladies and gentlemen. In the main exhibits will pertain to wearing apparel, but furniture, household fittings, interior decorations—in fact, practically all of the utilities, as well as the luxuries, will also figure. The merchants of Kansas City have been actively preparing for the United fashion Shows for several months. While they are co-operating thoroughly to make the United fashion Shows unqualifiedly successful, each institution will have individual exhibits and there will be no lack of rivalry.
Paris—London—New York—Kansas City
Many of the exhibits will consist wholly of wares brought direct to Kansas City from Paris, London and other European fashion centers, and New York. In some instances living manikins will be used as models. All exhibits will be arranged so that the visitors may study them under the most favorable circumstances.
