Yum, Yum, Pass The Two Year Old Eggs
Now this may not sound inviting, but wait and absorb the rest of the prescription. Take cold storage eggs two years old, beat them lightly, freeze them, and serve with chocolate sauce at meal time. Do not be afraid of the ill effects because experiments have proven that there are none.
Two year old Kansas eggs are not so bad as they sound. Neither are they bad when eaten raw. Try them once. For one thing they'll increase your weight.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 1, 1913.
The students ate the prescribed mixture with their meals for ten days and at the end of that time, when they had exhausted the supply of eggs and chocolate sauce, they found that their avirdupois had materially increased.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, Dean of the Medical School, and Prof. F. H. Billings of the department of bacteriology applied the test to six college students to see if eggs properly handled would keep a normal period and whether or not they could be eaten without ill effects.
This experiment proves that two year old Kansas eggs are nutritious when properly served.
TEACHERS "KEPT IN"
ON GLORIOUS 4TH
Which Reminds Us That Retriection is Shure, Saith the Lord
A. S. Olin.
Students in the School of Education are required to attend the lecture Friday morning.
Do you remember how teachers used to take delight in robbing you of your liberties at school? Do you remember those after-school sessions of miserably long duration? Do you remember how those heartless pedagogues ordered you to "stay in" during recess? Of course you do. Those are the common tribulations of childhood.
But now we lowbrows are going to have our inning. The worm has turned. Vengeance is ours!
For the gods that be have decreed sternly that our old time enemies, the teachers, must attend the Schoolmen's Conference on that holiday of holidays—the Glorious Fourth of July.
While you and I are sleeping till nine and ten on this gala day, or frolicking at some jolly picnic, or celebrating in Kansas City or at the old homestead, or spending the day at Woodland park, or just enjoying ourselves generally, the teachers will be sweltering in the hot cheerless chapel and attending classes.
While firecrackers and cannons crack and boom about them, these pedagogues will be meditating upon the error of their ways.
The better markskmen of the local companies of the Kansas National Guards are practicing daily on the range to determine who shall be the representatives of their companies at Fort Riley, July 14.
K. U. MEN PRACTICING UP FOR RIFLE SHOOT AT RILEY
Glory be! We are avenged.
Of the team of five men that are to go from here, two of them are K. U. men, Gay Wailing of Company and Tom Barrett of the First Prodicial Company.
At Fort Riley a team will be selected to represent the Kansas Regiment at the International Encampment to be held at Camp Prairie, Ohio, beginning August 16. Representatives from all over the world are expected and several new records will more than likely be made.
H. Clay Marks, 111, and Miss Efife Scovil of Crestone, College, were married in Crestone, June 18. They arrived at his home at 1241 Tennessee street, Friday, where they will visit until they go to Florida in August.
Here's A Hot Weather Job, Melt 3,000 Pounds Of Iron
"We're just doing the regular work over here this summer with a little extra," said Prof. Frank E. Jones, who has charge of Fowler Shops. "The summer classes are in session and they have their particular work to attend to. Besides this we are making the steel brackets for the heating system that is being installed. These brackets are placed so as to hold the pipes in such a way
that they will not be easily affected by the extreme heat which they undergo.
"We are also making babblited, cast iron, bored bearings for the Lawrence Railway Co.
"The moulding department will melt and mould a ton and a half of iron today. Outside of these things," added Professor Jones, "we are not doing much."
Got An Extra Musk Ox At Home? Give It To Th'Museum
the mammals are the five polar bears and the five Atlantic walruses, each specimen worth $1,000. The one of least value is the mole listed at eight dollars. Among the mammal skins the eighteen mountain sheep are worth $2,500 apiece, while the 550 mice are valued at the astonishing price of one dollar per mouse.
The faculty of the law school, the engineering school, and the College department of political science cooperate with the Bureau for the benefit of city officials. No charge is made for this service.
The first floor of the museum contains the mounted mammals. While the specimens are not arranged in zones the various animal families that associate are placed in groups, the seals, polar bears, and other northern animals forming one group, the foxes, squirrels, badgers, and similar families another group.
The Kansas University collection has the distinction of being the largest natural history panorama in the word. In 1902 the collection was valued at one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The valuation in 1912 was over two hundred thousand dollars mailing an average yearly increase of five thousand dollars.
The most valuable specimens of
The Natural History museum needs only two more specimens, the musk ox and the saddle back sheep, to make it complete. If some enterprising student would like to distinguish himself he might make a trip to the far north and procure these specimens for the museum. The sheep are found in the interior of Alaska but the musk ox frequents regions much farther north. It is said Dr. Cook encountered many of them in his dash to the north pole.
As a part of the Municipal Reference Bureau, a League of Kansas
And thus it is that questions coming to the University of Kansas are answered.
The enthological collection on the third floor, consists of Indian and Eskimo relics, the alcohol specimens in jars and the shells from Yucatan.
Less than $1000 is apportioned to the work of the museum annually while the value has increased at the rate of $5,000 a year. Some of the specimens have been donated to the museum by the men doing ethnological field work and many of them were in the collection of Dr. Snow.
Copies of successful city ordinances and regulations are kept on file by the Municipal Reference Bureau and thus the experiences of cities all over the country are brought together and placed at the disposal of Kansas municipalities.
On the second floor there are 1,519 specimens of mounted birds and 6,735 bird skins. Every kind of bird may be found from the Mexican Crossbill to the Lapland Long-spur. There is even a representative of the Tympanuclus Americanus Pallidictinctus, so well known to westerners, the kind our pioneer ancestors were accustomed to go out and kill before breakfast. At least were told they were fond of prairie chicken.
K. U., M. D. Plenipotentiary, To Municipalities Of Kansas
All of these questions go straight to the Municipal Reference Bureau, one of the divisions of the University of Kansas Extension department. It is, as the name implies, a bureau of information and ideas concerning all kinds of municipal problems that have to do with city characters, sanitation, water-works, franchises, and public utilities.
"4. Is not the 'white wing' method of street cleaning and dust prevention much more beneficial than sprinkling? Would the cost be much greater?"
put up to the University of Kansas:
"1. It is possible for a city of the first class to exclude from pool hall owners those questionable characters who themselves may stop just short of law violation but who make their place of business the headquarters of the weak, vicious, idle, and criminally inclined?
"2. The automobile speed law, especially in the small town, is a farce. A law which every one violates is a bad thing for society. Is there any remedy?
Here are some of the questions put up to the University of Kansas:
"3. In cities of the first class would not a mayor and two commissioners, instead of four as the law now requires, be more economical, and at the same time give better service?
Here is one of the questions handed to the question box committee the other day:
Municipalities has been organized. The membership of this league is made up of Kansas cities and the members delegated by the cities meet in convention for two days each year to exchange ideas on administration and government.
The constitution of the League of Kansas Municipalities as embodied in it the following requirements for dues as based on the population:
Fifty-six Kansas cities hold membership in the league for the year 1912'13. The secretary of the Iowa league in his last report gives a membership of 530 cities for that state.
OLIN MADE ACTING DEAN OF EDUCATION
"Our city has a population of 1230 people. Recently it was sued for $500 and is now awaiting trial for the supposed killing of four trees by electric current from wires running through limbs. One of these trees was cut down about the time the line was built, two are in perfect health and the other has one dead limb. These trees stand on the terrace in front of the man's residence. Question: Whose trees are they? Will electricity kill trees, and would wires being insulated away from trees be deemed by the law as attached to trees?"
Less than 1000 population. $ 5.00
1000 to 5000. . . . .
The Municipal, Reference Bureau of the University of Kansas and the Question Box Committee can answer this question to the satisfaction of the party concerned. That's the advantage of being a member of the Municipal Bureau and of the League.
And theres a question box connected with the league, too, not mentioned in the constitution—and with it a Question Box Committee, composed of city attorneys
Board Appoints For One Year Before Filling Position Permanently
NO GERMAN APPOINTMENT
Professor Carruth's Department Left
in Committee Government Until Permanent Selection is Made
Special to the Kansan.
Topeka, July 3—Upon the recommendation of Chancellor Strong the Board of Administration made Prof. A. S. Olin, of the School of Education, acting dean of the School of Education for one year, at which time he will assume again his position and work as professor of education, and the deanship will be filled permanently.
The position of the head of the department of German was not filled, the department being left in committee government for the next year or until a permanent selection for the headship is made
K. U. SOONERS HEAR COCK AND BULL STORY
Oklahomans Told That Kansas Would Tax Them a $175 tuition Fee
Some newspaper in Oklahoma started a story to the effect that the last Kansas legislature had passed a law requiring students from out the state to pay $175 tuition and the report is causing a good deal of worry among K. U. Oklahoma men, as well as among prospective K. U. men from Oklahoma. A bill was introduced carrying provisions for increase in tuition but did not pass.
Reigstar Foster has received letters from Oklahomaans asking about the new tuition charges. While he will be able to set right those who think of writing for authoritative information, there will doubtless be a number who will believe the story and go some where else.
K. U. graduates and students in the Sooner state could do a great deal to clear up this false report, and the Summer Session Kansan will send a marked copy of this paper to the old grads and students scattered over that state.
INSPECTORS FIND MANY FAULTY SCALES
Professor Stimpon Condemnns
23 Percent on Fourth
Annual Trip
Prof. E. F. Stimpson, deputy state sealer of weights and measures, and Warren Crumbine, special inspector for the state board of health, returned Saturday from a trip through the south-eastern counties, where they inspected the heavy wagon scales. In Parsons they inspected 19 scales and found ten faulty. Altocopter they tested 119 scales in thirteen towns and condemned 23 per cent of them.
"Neglect and carelessness rather than flagrant tampering we found to be the common trouble," said Professor Stimpson. "This was the fourth annual field trip, but because of the lack of funds only short trips have been taken. In the wheat region the wagon scales are better taken care of than anywhere else. The people there are realizing the need of careful inspection. I believe this is largely due to efforts made by the University and the State Board of Health for accurate records in Kansas."

MANUAL TRAINING REPLACES BENT PIN
Dr. Suzalo Says Modern Education Utilizes Old-time Spare Energy
BODY AND MIND TOGETHER
World Has Come to Realize That it Needs More Than One Kind of Brain.
"No more does the mischievous boy put bent pins in the seats or punch Susie's hair down the ink well," said Professor Suzzallo in his lecture Thursday night on "Traditions and Reform." "It is because we are keeping his body and mind together," he continued. "We are giving him studies that he is interested in. The lad who spent his spare energy carving the desk tops is put to work in the manual training department.
"The schools have made more progress in the last twenty years than in the previous twenty centuries," declared Professor Suzallo. "The world has come to realize that it needs more than one kind of brain. The idea of the old school was that education could be obtained only through the abstract study of the three R's. The old schoolmen deplored the crowded curriculum.
Professor Suzzallo pointed out that the present good attendance and efficiency of the modern school was not due to the child labor laws, compulsory attendance, or truancy cops. The solution of the problem lies in the fact that the child is allowed to follow its natural bent. The child is interested.
"You may have compulsory attendance but you cannot have compulsory education.
"The more complex civilization becomes the more complex must the school system be. Human nature remains the same but civilization advances with an ever widening step. At first education was a family affair—no bridge was needed to cross the stream of education. As the centuries advanced the stream became wider and wider until now we must have the mighty suspension bridge to span the ever widening channel, bearing the ever increasing strains and pressures of modern civilization.
"The more freedom that is given in the curriculum the greater the chance that the child will be interested and the education it needs to fill its nitch in the world."
LIBRARY WILL BE OPEN
ALL DAY SATURDAY
The library will be open Saturday from 7:30 to 6 p. m. The stack room will be open until noon and books desired in the afternoon may be taken from the stack and reserved until the afternoon. The seminar rooms will not be open at all during the day.
The library will be closed all day Friday.
"The aim of education is culture," said Prof. E. C. Wilm, professor of education and psychology at Wells College, in his lecture Tuesday night before the schoolmen on, "Education and the Whole Man."
A BREAD AND BUTTER JOB
IS NOT EDUCATION'S GOAL
"It is not the business of the school to equip a man to make a living but to make him find his life worth living," said Professor Wilm. "A study of history, literature, and manual training in its broadest view, will develop culture."
A. H. Wallace arrived from Jennings, Tuesday to attend the Summer Session. He is taking shop work preparatory to teaching manual training at the Oberlin high school this winter.
Fame is waiting for the reformer who will start an agitation for the downward revision of the thermometer.
