PROFESSOR INDICTED FOR MISUSING MAILS
Dr. Schwegler's Scientific Ger man Book Said to Viol- late P. O. Rules
On April 16, Prof. Raymond A. Schweiger, of the School of Education was indicted on a charge of violating the U. S. Postal laws in a secret session of the Federal grand jury in Topeka.
The charge states that while traveling in Germany a year ago he ordered a book from a publishing house in Leipse and sent it by mail to his address in Lawrence. When the book was delivered, he thought it ditable and refused to deliver it, but sent it to the custom officials in Kansas City.
They opened it and because of its contents turned it over to the postal authorities for action. The book is written in German and the indictment charges that it contains questionable reading matter and pictures.
Professor Schwegler in an interview Saturday afternoon said that he had explained the whole matter to the Chancellor and that he had the Chancellor's approbation for his action in the matter. He expressed himself as confident that the matter would be cleared up satisfactorily.
Chancellor Strong in a statement yesterday morning said that Professor Schwegler had explained satisfactorily to him the use he had for the book and its nature and that he had perfect confidence in Professor Schwegler. Further than that he had nothing to say.
The following statement was given out by Dr. W. L. Burckid, who has taken charge of the matter for Prof. Schwegler:
"A more astounding and amazing error has seldom happened than the recent charging of Prof. R. A. Schwegler, of this University, with a technical violation of the use of the mails.
"Professor Schwegler has been for a number of years one of the best known and widely recognized authorities in the subject of education in the state of Kansas. In the University his courses deal with problems of abnormal psychology, and in connection with these problems it became necessary for him to lecture upon school question relating to adoence, particularly with reference to defective children, their retarded development, and congenital causes affecting the intellectual and moral growth and mental stability of the child.
"The European authorities have gone far more deeply into these subjects than we have yet in this country, and very valuable scientific works upon these topics have been prepared by well known lecturers in the German universities. In conducting his research and studies in Germany during his residence abroad a year ago, Professor Schwegler came into contact with these books, became much
"The matter that is charged as being sent in violation of law, has not ever been seen by Professor Schwegler. The postal authorities have simply held up the transmission of certain books and charts to him upon the alleged grounds that such matter is not malailable.
German writers, and interested in the problems to which they were deceived their attention. Knowing the publication from time of certain scientific works upon these lines, he made arrangements with some of the best known publishers in the world, to send him such scientific material as they might publish in connection with these subjects.
"The entire case is summed up in the statement that Professor Schwegler, acting in the utmost good faith, with no thought of the possibility of the vilification of law, has had directed to him certain publications by German publishers of world-wide renown.
"All who know Professor Schweger, his fine character, his high standards of decency and of honor, will feel that a grave mistake has been made in thus connecting his absolutely innocent conduct with such an accusation. Any physician, attorney or scientist who may desire to investigate such questions for scientific purposes, might be accused, although absolutely innocent of any intended wrong, of doing the very thing that Professor Schwegler has been accused of doing. Matter that might not be appropriate for general distribution; may be indispensable for scientific use.
"If our American universities are to be excluded from the use of scientific material, proper and necessary for the study of certain questions involving the future of civilization and of the race, then all advancement in this country in such investigations must cease."

The High School Student
who expects to
Go Into Business
has his choice of two plans:
Among its 800 courses the University of Kansas has many that deal directly or indirectly with the principles and practice of almost every business pursuit.
He may either "work his way" into business as the old-fashioned lawyer worked his way into law, or he may get an expert knowledge of the business first as the modern lawyer does of law.
In either case he will probably start his business life "at the bottom," but with a sound education to help him he can go ahead faster and farther than by the other plan.
The Daily Kansan's Educational Department will see that inquiries addressed to it are answered by the ones most competent to give full particulars regarding any vocation and the University courses preparatory for it. Address the
