SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
FIRE RISK SLIGHT
SAYS SUPERINTENDENT
But to Avoid Danger of a Blaze, be Careful
There is very little danger from fire on the fire, the burning editorial in the last issue of the Summer Session Kansan notwithstanding; and the suggestion that more watchmen be put on to guard against fire would not greatly decrease the chances of a blaze breaking out, according to E. F. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
The blaze at the Chemistry building the other day was a slight affair and could probably have been prevented by a little more care on the part of the students and instructors in that department. While its origin is not known, it was likely a combustion or the combination of chemicals.
"There would still be danger of fire if I had a whole army of watchmen to parade the campus," said he this morning, "and a man in each of our buildings could not prevent the possibility of fire, but practically, there is little danger."
"Heads of departments and the average student and professors do not show enough care in preventing and removing the cause of fire," declared Mr. Crocker. "Our men in making their rounds very often come upon apparatus, flames, or materials left by professors and students, which are liable to cause a blaze. With the co-operation of faculty and students we can reduce the possibility of fire to a minimum."
There has been no serious fire at the University, with the exception of one at the power plant which was struck by lightning this spring. Fire of such a nature cannot, of course, be presented. During the past school year there have been about half a dozen small blazes which were put out before any serious damage was done.

STRENGTH OF NATION LIES IN MIDDLE WEST
Ottoman Consul Genera Struck by Our Big Scale of Doing Things.
"Kansas is the greatest state in the Union and K U, is the equal of any university anywhere," says Prof. Herman Schoenfeld, consulgeneral at Washington for the Ottoman Empire. "I was never so impressed with the seriousness and enthusiasm of the student material as here," he continued. "The strength of the American nation is in the great middle west. I am impressed with the strength and vigor of the young men and women. I was never so far west before and am overwhelmed with the beauty and vastness of everything. I have never seen things done upon the same scale before."
Professor Schoenfeld has been a teacher and writer for 23 years and a consul for the Turkish government for ten years. He believes that the field in Turkey offers many fine opportunities for the trained engineer, agriculturist, and women physicians. In his work as consul, he has recommended and sent to Turkey Americans, and each made good, American and enterprise wonders for the east. The American methods and machinery are rapidly supplanting the primitive methods used by the Turks.
Professor Schoenfeld is teaching German in the Summer School. He is the professor of German at George Washington.

She—Very, she knows when to stop.
