PAMPHLET ON COST OF
PAMPHLET ON COST OF ENGLISH TEACHING OUT
A pamphlet has just been issued by the department of English on "The Cost and Labor of Teaching English."
English.
This is the supplementary and final report of the committee on English composition teaching, representing the Modern Language Association of American and the National Council of Teachers of English. Prof. E. M. Hopkins is one of the 6 members of the committee, the others being from the Universities of Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Minnesota.
A summary of the contents of this report, published April, 1913, is as follows:
1. In secondary schools, English costs less than any other subject in proportion to the number of pupils taking it; and the unit teaching cost of one pupil for one year is almost exactly seven dollars.
2. The average number of pupils assigned to an English teacher is greater than in any other subject; mathematics and history approaching English most nearly.
3. In proportion to the number of teachers, the labor of teaching English in secondary schools is greater than that of any other subject, even when high efficiency is necessarily sacrificed in order to lessen that labor.

WILL K. U. SCIENTISTS CHECK PELLAGRA?
Hunter's Experiments Commended by Author of Book On Dreaded Disease
Are Kansas scientists on the eve of discovering the cause of pellagra, he disease of mystery that has baffled physicians for nearly three centuries?
Stewart R. Roberts, associate professor of medicine at the Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons, in the concluding chapter of his book on "Pellagra" just published, calls attention to the experiments carried by on Dr. Samuel J. Hunter, professor of entomology at the University of Kansas.
"The experiments now being carried on in the state of Kansas by Dr. S. J. Hunter," Dr. Roberts declares, "in which sand bite flies bite pelagins and then are permitted to bite guinea pigs and monkeys should bear some fruit. One of these monkeys so bitten became sick and developed fever. He was autopsied, and his nervous system is now being studied. Whether this experiment will result in anything is unknown, but it at least is along the right line."
Within the last two years, ten cases of pellagra have developed in Kansas. Of this number seven have died, and three are still being treated. Approximately 10,000 cases exist in the United States, principally in the South.
FRESHMEN COULDN'T FIND BOOKS IN STACKS
*Order Must Be Preserved,
Says Librarian-Explains
Spooner Rules
Several times in the past few days indignant freshmen have written complaints to the student opinion department of the Dally Kansan about the library stacks being closed after six o'clock, and about freshmen not being allowed in the stacks.
When interviewed about the subject this morning Miss Watson, head librarian, stated that the regulations for closing the stacks were made by the regents and the Chancellor, and that sufficient money is not provided to keep them open, and moreover, that there is no necessity for it. Expert help is not provided in the evenings—merely to unlock the door student employees to unlock the door order. If students want books from the stacks they may get them out in the afternoon and have them kept out for the evenings. Every day a number of students do this.
Speaking of the freshman and sophomore regulation, Miss Watson said: "There is no reason why freshmen and sophomores should go in the stacks. Any book, or any information they wish will be cheerfully given them during the day time from the desk. They may place books in reserve at the desk for use in the evenings.
"Anyway by far the larger number of books that they need can be found on the reserve shelves. It is difficult now to keep the system in the stacks, with only the juniors and seniors.
Electricals Give Annual Banquet
"The lower classmen wouldn't know how to find the books, and it is highly probable that a freshman wouldn't have any very good ideas about system, and would get the books all mixed up, so we couldn't find any thing. If there is any particular reason that a freshman should go in to the stacks all he has to do is to get permission, but we can't invite the whole school back there. It would reduce order to chaos in no time."
Electricals Give Annual Banquet The annual banquet of the Kansas branch of American Institute of Electrical Engineers will be given Thursday evening. A number of out of town guests are expected and there will be several speakers. The full program will be announced later.
