MAY HAVE SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SEPTEMBER 17, 1913.
Coaches Trained Here If Dr Naismith's Plan Is Sanctioned
TO GIVE FOUR-YEAR COURSES
K. U Department of Physical Education Could Produce Directors of University Athletics
A School of Physical Education is the latest departure advocated by the captain of payal education of the University, and according to Dr. Naismith, from plans already formed, this school will place Kansas the foremost and most progressive school in the Middle West.
The aim of this school is to make its graduates able and fit to teach physical education from both the theoretical and practical side and to make them "directors in the whole field of physical education." Every graduate will be a teacher of any sport, and an expert in at least two
The Firs tof Its Kind
The First of its Killings
No state university in the whole United States has such a course as this. The Teachers School, part of Columbia University in New York City, has such a course, and students are flocking from all the eastern states to attend it, but this school is open only to graduate students who intend to teach. The Sargent School in Cambridge, Mass., has a similar course, with similar purposes. The Springfield Training School, now Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., has the complete course, with of course a few different departures, and a student may complete that course in three years; but this school has always been essentially a Normal School for teachers.
Wisconsin University was the first western college to recognize the value of such a school. It counts forty hours from it on the Bachelor's Degree.
Two Years College First
The first two years would be spent in the College, the students taking required College work, counting sixty College credits on their degrees. The third and fourth years would be spent exclusively in the School of Physical Education.
Develop Expert
the school of The work there would be taken up from two sides, first the technical side, second the practice side.
The technical course would include instruction in the theory of physical exercise, anatomy, the psychology of physica lexercise, the history of physical exercise, moral hygiene, physical hygiene, educational pathology, adolescence, educational psychology, principles of athletic contests, the history of every athletic sport, its development, its present status, etc.
Develop Expert
On the practice side, all students would take part in the various different forms of exercise, and would be made almost necessarily an expert in one or two lines. They would obtain a general knowledge of every form of exercise, as well as every sport. They would have extensive practice in teaching gymnasium squads, athletic teams, etc. Their degree would make them a "Complete Director of Physical Education."
Have Faculty Now
The University already has a splendid department of teachers for this course, and little or no addition would have to be made to their corps of instructors after the inauguration of the school. Coaches Mosse, Hamilton, Hargiss, Frank, and Bond, Deers Naimith and Johnson, and Miss Adams would handle the work of the department completely. Dr. Johnson, herself, is a graduate of the Arnold School of Physical Education, and Miss Adams, the successor to Miss Beckwith, has a degree from the Chataqula School of Physical Education.
The petition establishing the new school is now before the School of Education, and will probably be passed upon in two weeks.

Because the field open to geologists through the operation of large mining and developing companies has so broadened, the department of geology announces a new and extended course in mineralogy and geology open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT
OFFERS NEW COURSES
For enrollment in the courses offered, the student is required to comply with the general requirements given in the catalogue. The University has at present a department which ranks with the best, and with the new course offered no state student should find it necessary to seek another school to secure advanced work in geology and minig.
On account of the death of Mrs. Sarah Robinson Ransom, mother of Mrs. Frank Strong, the annual faculty ladies' reception to University students, planned for Saturday night in the Gym, has been indefinitely postponed. Arrangements for holding the reception later will be made soon.

The Lawrence Water Company is furnishing water that is treated with calcium hypochlorite (bleaching powder). By this means all bacteria of type types that are known to produce the water borne diseases are killed, thus rendering the water safe. The Lawrence Survey Laboratoriesially examine samples from the Lawrence city supply in order to be assured that the treatment is being carried out properly. The hypo-chlorite, although imparting a slight taste to the water, is harmless.
FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE STUDENTS:
pacing a solitary taste to the water, is harmless.
About fifty private wells have been examined at the Water Survey Laboratory and with but two exceptions they are grossly polluted with sewage.

CALL FOR FRESHMEN A CHANGE IN SALARIES
Coach Bond Wants Tys Football Candidates—Examination This Week
"All first-year men wishing to try out for the freshman football team will check out suits at Manager Hamilton's office in the Gym and submit themselves to a physical examination by Dr. Naismith Friday and Saturday. Jay Bond, Coach."
The above announcement was given by Manager Hamilton, speaking for Coach Bond, this morning at the Gymnasium.

"I would like to have the boys turn out sooner if possible," said the Manager, in speaking of postponing the opening practice until Friday and Saturday, "but we be so busy checking out suits to Varsity players, and Dr. Naismith will be so busy examining them, that we can hardly handle the first year men before that time.
time.
"I want every freshman or first year man who has ever played football to report the opening day for practice. The amount of practice that the Varsity gets for its opening game depends on the Tyro squad, and we cannot impress too firmly on the new men's minds the necessity of reporting for practice early."
The inter-class games, as usual, will be held after the Varsity football season closes.
BRAMWELL WAITING FOR NEWS BEFORE DECIDING
William Bramwell, captain of the football team, is as to lead undecided about returning to lead the Jayhawkers this fall. At noon today Bramwell said he was waiting for news from home before announcing his decision.

Zabel left K. U, because his professionalism kept him out of athletics here and went to Baker, where he was the nucleus of nearly every athletic team. After a tryout with Kansas City this spring he was sent to Winnipeg where he won about four-fifths of his games and landed a position with Chicago as a result.

Summer school salaries in a bump sum hereafter, and salaries nine months of the year only, the latter starting next month, is the latest arrangement of the Board of Administration.
Monday the first checks under the new stem were issued, and for a while there were a lot of started professors on the hill. The unusually large checks looked like sudden increases in salary—but were not.
A schedule for the new arrangement is now being worked up by "Ted" Cronemeyer.

Professor Haworth to Publish Pamphlet Dealing With Hidden Ground Water
TO STOP SACRIFICE OF CATTLE
Knowledge of State's Underground Resources Would Saved Stockmen Thousands in Dry Weather
Information to Kansas farmers and stockmen about ground water within easy reach all during the recent dry spell when cattle by the thousands were being shipped out of the state and sold at a sacrifice, will be given the state shortly in a 100-page pamphlet dealing with the water supply of Kansas, now being prepared by Dean Erasmus Haworth of the University Mining School.
According to Professor Haworth, who is probably better acquainted with the mineral and geological resources of the state than any other man, there is an unlimited amount of water within easy reach in the state where at present people think there is none.
there is more.
The report will in a popular way summarize all the material heretofore published on Kansas ground water, tell of all work done, and in addition contain much valuable state survey data in the hands of Professor Haworth which has never yet been published. Wide distribution will be given the pamphlet throughout the state at once to stop, if possible, further shipment of cattle out of regions where ground water is probably within easy reach.
The Board of Administration this week passed favorably on Professor's Haworth suggestion that the pamphlet be immediately published.

The last year the band made 30 public appearances, and will endeavor to do so again this year, but perhaps in overhalls. At present the band needs a double-B bass horn, but has in the treasury exactly five cents as a nest egg.

"It it is to the Student Council to announce uniforms," says Mr. McCanell.
"While the band gets a share of the Student Enterprise Ticket money, it has to buy new music to the extent of $75 worth each year to keep up and it needs new instruments sadly at present."

Fatigued Registrar Has Seen Nothing Else And Thinks There Are About 900
Approximately 2000 students had registered and enrolled in the University, late this afternoon, which is four hundred more than at the close of the corresponding day last year.
"I cannot ascertain the number of freshmen we will have this year, but the number will come very close to being nine hundred," said Registrar Foster this afternoon. "Do not mention freshmen to me; that's all I've seen the last few days."

PROF. GESELL AUTHOR OF RECALL BULLETIN
Uses Material From Last Year's Intercollegiate Debates on Judiciary
A scholarly but popularly written bulletin on the Recall of Judges has just been published by the Extension Division of the University. The author is Prof. G. A. Gesell, who was head of the Public Speaking department for the last three years and is the result of a study of the judicial recall made by Professor Gesell in connection with last year's University debates on the subject, Emmett L.Bennett, a member of the 1913 debating squad, assisted Professor Gesell in the preparation of the pamphlet.
Decisions.
The work is an impartial treatment of the judicial recall, having as its aim the presentation of both sides of the question. A brief bibliography is included.
The bulletin takes up the history of the movement for the recall power over judges, treats of the various conceptions of the judiciary, and discusses the several remedies proposed for the evils complained of in connection with the judicial system. A section of the bulletin deals with the affirmative and negative sides of the question of "The Recall of Judicial Decisions."
The Extension Division expects a large, call for the bulletin from high school debaters, civic and women's club organizations, and from citizens generally who are interested in the question.
