Self-Rule in India Not Yet Practical, Sociologist Says
All junior and senior women are urged to be present, according to Mudge Wardell, as it will be an important event.
Illiteracy, Caste System and Diverse Religions Are Reasons Seen by Ross
Prof. E. A. Ross of the department of sociology of the University of Wisconsin told his impressions of India gained from several months study of conditions there, and the reasons for it. He noted that the land were not yet ready for self-government, at his talk in the central Administration building auditorium Friday. While expressing sympathy with the national aspirations of the country, he stated that the country, untrained in government, uneducated and diverse in religion and language, would follow in the footsteps of China to disorder and warfare if it formed a parliamentary government, the only kind possible
"I am very much afraid that obedience would not be given the parliamentary decree from Delhi and that a general state of chaos will ensue. Ghandi's effort to get self-government for India right offailed because the country was not ready. Ghandi has high ideals and is a very intelligent and noble man, but he was not a leader."
India and Japan Differ Widely "India's condition is different from that of Japan. Japan has a dynasty to unite it. India has plenty of dynastic power. But for India is parliamentary government. But look at the result of establishing parliamentary government in China when the people were not ready for it. China is in the hands of adventurers. Consider what would happen if India allowed its religion and racial differences and its 3,000 sub-castes."
The characteristics of Hindu civilization, many of which he considered a handicap to autonomy, described by the sociologist who were the Caucasian racial attack of the people, youthful maniacs, and mobsters, hold the case system and illiteracy.
Early Marriages Are Frequent
The effect of the marriage and motherhood of young girls, 15 and 16 years old, professor Ross thought that it was important which he considered characteristic of the Hindu man people. The related custom of forbidding a widow to marry, even though the widow be a young girl who was engaged when she married, is still strong in India, he said.
The patriarchal household, or joint family, in which the parents and the sons' families lived together and shared equally in the earnings of all Professor Ross considered detriment to the people. The president of the people, and one reason for their unpreparedness for self-government. However, the professor pointed out an equally powerful reason, namely the practices of the British government for holding the people in subjection. The imperial government held the people's knowledge of modern methods of warfare, Professor Ross said.
Caste System Still Prevails
His impression of the strength of the muscular class has broken down among the educated and more intelligent Indians—maybe a half million are emancipated—the great musces still cling to it. How can they be educated under the influence of western ideas and the changing conditions, such as railways, hotels, factories and the state state like Beugal it is shot to pieces.
Professor Ross described the deplurable condition of the 55 million people who were outcasts or untouchable because of whom contaminated a higher castle person within the radius of 60 feet, others were effective at 48 and 24 hours. The castle was the dada's incapacity for self-government, he thought, was the low rate, one-eighth of the population, of literacy, with 50 per cent in the Philippines.
Outland Visits University
Dr. John Outland, the newly elected president of the Kansas City, Mo., Alumni Association, was a visitor at the University Friday. He stated that the committee arranged to have a series of monthly luncheons for the entire membership of the organization. At these lunchouts, he offered advice for the betterment of the association.
Ft. Scott Publisher
Speaks to Journalists
George Marble, publisher of the Fort Scott Tribune was a visitor at the department of journalism Friday. He spoke to the advertising, critical writing and reporting classes on the problems of reporters and the editorial and business policies of newspapers. Mr. Marble emphasized the fact that to be great, a newspaper must have individuality; it must have an ideal of service to the community; it must win the confidence of the people whom it serves. "Newspapers, of course, can be successful when money making is its primary ideal," he said.
In speaking to reporting classes, Mr. Marble emphasized the necessity of a reporter being alert every minute that he is awake. "He is not like the man, he has no office hours." The speed of communication speed on the part of reporters, but warned them against excessive imagi-

Then, as a gentle rain beat down upon the skibers and umbrellas of贝鲁特，the speaker narrated the story of the events that have built up our body of tradition. Beginning with the trip of the early asia who visited the ancient world seaward bound, he told of the first reunion held on North College hill here, of the building of old North College and the later construction of Fraser hall.

Other factors, that have helped in its development, are the speakers are: the adoption of the University seal, the origin of the Rock Chalk yell, the adoption of the crimson and the blue as the University colors, the incorporation of May Day flag, the origin of a student government association, the use of class insignia and the building of stadiums and the Union building.
"The University of Kansas can justly be proud of her progress and the achievements of her students," Mr. Smith said. To supplement this statement, he asked the students who have gained world-wide recognition, "In the fields of science, letters, law, engineering and athletics we have alumni of whom we are all members of." He engaged with students in practically all activities engaged in every type of work.

Arlo Patman, chief sachem, preened his troops with an address ordered his warriors to go out in search of new brothers.
Lighted only by the blazes of the council fire and an occasional flare of lightning, the search for new warfare equipment was the educators present were chosen to assemble and smoke the pipe of peace with the older warriors.
