SPOTTS SPELLBINDS STUDENTS AT TREGO
Delivers Oration on the Work of the K. U. Extension Division
By Leonard H. Acre
Trego County High School, March 6.—Ralph H. Spotts, representative of the Extension Division of the University of Kansas, spoke to the students Tuesday morning. He made an interesting talk explaining the value of a correspondence course in any branch of the college work.
He explained the different departments of this extension division and the service it was giving the people to whom an attendant course was impossible. He also showed the valuable general information it was giving to the people of the state.
Mr. Spotts spoke to several students individually concerning work in the University.

GERMAN STUDENTS ARE MORE AESTHETIC
Spend Father's Rocks on Ar and Board Bills, Says]
Kellerman
"It itens to me to be the view of all Germans that the American student is not so earnest in his purposes or as careful in the pursuit of his work as is the German," declares Fritz Kellermann, the exchange instructor from Spandau, who is taking the place of Edwin M. Brieges.
"Instead of yelling themselves hoarse over a football game or spending five dollars and a large amount of physical energy for a drill, the coach would use it to pay their board bills and attend fine arts recitals.
PROTECTS IDLE FOUNDATION
An additional contract amounting to $10,000 has been let to the construction company having the contract for the Administration building to cover the cost of preparing the foundation and excavation work to stand intact during the two years that must elapse before the appropriation for the building of the center section can be secured.
$10,000 Contract Let to Keep Adm.
Building Work Intact.
The contract will provide for the construction of the basement floor in the two ends of the main section and the laying of the supporting beams, piers and their foundations. The main part of the building will have two floors underground, the basement floor forming the roof of a seven foot excavation lying below the basement.
The High School Student who feels an interest in such a vocation as Mechanical Engineering
"Each summer during the six weeks' vacations the students take long walks from northern Germany south to the Rhine, then follow its course north. During these long walks they study the geographical, historical and especially the aesthetic features of their country. If students are not financially able to take these trips they are supported by wealthy patrons or companies who are interested in research work. The German student can not afford a waste this time with faviol-ies because the competition in intellectual fields is too keen. There were 450 people at the recent art exhibition and 12,000 at the Missouri-Kansas game. In Germany the conditions would be the reverse."
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
No attempt will be made to cover the excavation and foundation beyond the laying of the basement floors.
A four-year course in mechanical engineering with the advantages of fully equipped shops and laboratories, prepares the student to enter this broad field under the best conditions.

should be encouraged in knowing that the growth of industry, and the modern striving after efficiency, open a broad way of opportunity to the able mechanical engineer. He is always in demand. His position is often one of large responsibility. He is well paid.
THESPIANS IN NEAR HOLD-UP?
While posting up bills late last night advertising the coming Thesian show, "The Aviator" which appears next week, Russel Clark, manager of the play and Humphrey Jones, a member of the club, experienced what they believe was an attempt to hold them up.
"Aviator" Bill Posters Tell Thrill-Tale of Adventure.
The students had just finished putting the bills on a bill board west of the Santa Fe depot when two negroes approached. One of them walked up and asked Clark for a knife that he had come upon and turned towards the wagon which was being used to carry the bills from place to place.
The negro then inquired the time of day, at the same time putting his hand in his pocket as if to draw something out. At this moment Jones, who held the pasting brush in his hand, made a sweep at the black figure. He placed him square. The negro momentarily stunned, while the second one, evidently becoming frightened at the show of fight, started to run.
However, the boys did not remain to argue the matter with the remaining negro, but made a dash for their wagon, jumped in and left the spot as fast as the horse could get away.

All of the scenes and costumes were spent in taking the pictures at the exact places in Palestine and Egypt where Christ lived and performed his miracles.
