THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
America to Rank With Europe Inside of Next Ten Years Is Opinion of Charles Courboim
That America would, inside of a few years, rank with Europe, was the prediction made by Charles M. Courbon, noted Belgian-American organist, who gave the dedication program on the new Austin pipe organ in Fraser chaper Tuesday night. "Europe has a charm, an environment, and a background of ancestry that is unmissable," she said. "The land of opportunity," enthusiastically remarked the artist in his quick, emotional manner.
"You have such a wonderful country that I have no desire to return again," she said. "But people have the money and may be all of the beauties of the Obl Country here, so I believe that inside of the next ten years, your country will rank first."
"But, no, the greatest fault of your American students lies in your lack of perseverance in study." Coubrien argues that these reasons lie in the many activities. Conditions here are not to be compared with those of the European student who finds that he cannot enunciate his ideas without activities and study at the same time.

Water Colors by Jonson Will Be Next Art Exhibit
The next exhibition of the department of painting of the School of Fine Arts will embrace a collection of 22 water colors by Raymond Jonson of the Santa Fe group of painters. This group of paintings, with two exceptions, was made during the year 1925 and the surrounding country.
Mr. Jomson's canvas entitled "The Negro Woman," was exhibited in the 31st annual Swedish-American exhibition, Chicago, and was selected as one of a small group of picture by students exhibited in New York City and at the Art Institute of Chicago, after which it was sent abroad where it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in Stockholm and also in other important Seindialman centers. The next year the Pattern" and this same honor.
The exhibition will be on view in room 303, central Administration building, beginning April 12. It will be open to the public daily (except Sundays and holidays) from m9 a. m. to 5 p. m.
Between instructions to the workmen, Mr. Courbain expressed his pleasure at an offer he had just received requesting him to take charge of a masters class in organ at a conservatory, and consult sably of professionals and will be held from June 7 to 28" he said.
That Kansas should be proud of the organ she possesses was a fact brought out. "It is a fine thing for a school to possess an organ of the type you have here. Such an instrument can be considered a large one even in Europe."
That the pipe organ is coming into greater favor in this country is his view. Mr. Courbain cited as evidences of this growing popularity the fact that so many private residences now possess instruments, "also," he said, "the United States has banished it because it distracts the Grand Court at Wannamaker's in Philadelphia." It is here that Courbain is guest soloist.
Delta Chi announces the pledging of Ernest Stanley, c28, of Topeka.
"Your music department here is excellent," stated Mr. Courbain heartily. He believes that K. U. is fortunate in having Prof. C. S. Skilton with him. "He means a high among organisms and composers," he said earnestly.
"I was especially pleased to see that the students of organ at this school had adopted the practice of playing from memory." The famous organism model of this was not customary in that the practice, in his opinion, is a fine thing.
"Smile" is the Motto on "Van's" New Slicke
"Van!" is out looking for rain. His figure emerges at the top of the news room stairs enveloped in a long yellow jacket. He stands on the rock on the back he has a happy looking Jayden wounded on "Marie," his favorite sheep. Under this he has his muto "Smile." He showed it to Jayden and was enclosed as a smile from everyone.
"The fine art students painted it," he explained, and according to him the K. U. fine art students are the only group that can uniformize that his first day of possession had to be one of sunshine but he can pray for rain and in time may be awarded by a deluge that will enclose him with the sun and cool. This will be a great help in raising the blue spirit that many students assume during the spring showers and we expect to have a decided result wherever Van's "Simple" may be seen.

Walter De La Mare she described as having excellent taste, imagination and mystery, "Glass Clock," a volume of nonsense poems and lyrics," she said, "is typical of this English poet.
"Robert Frost," Mrs. Cockling said, "is one of the modern poets, original, gifted and rather dating. He is one of the most brilliant poets, matier and meter and who uses every-day words that are common to us all. Reckless, sensual, much beauty and wisdom," she said.
Carl Sandburg, a friend of Robert Frost, she described as one of a different type; one who uses free verse, lines that flow between rhythm and rhyme. "Some do not like him," she said, "because he uses a great deal of slang. One example is 'The Woman in White.'"
"Amy Lawell," said Mrs. Conkling, "is a poet with a marvelous historical sense. An example of this is 'The Bronze Horse.'"
Mrs. Cowling also read from "Five Fish," a volume of her own poems which has not yet come from the publishers.

On an East Indian farm, where the crop is tea, a wooden plow turns up the rich black soil. A woman drives, another woman pulls—and a black ox pulls beside her.
Six hours under a tropical sun, a bowl of cold rice—and six hours more. Then the woman goes to her bed of rushes, and the beast to his mud stall. Tomorrow will be the same.

The American home has many conveniences. But many American women often work as hard as their Oriental sisters. They toil at the washub, they carry water, they churn by hand—all tasks which electricity can do for them at small cost, in half the time.
The labor-saving possibilities of electricity are constantly becoming more widely recognized. And the social significance of the release of the American woman from physical drudgery, through the increasing use of electricity in and about the home, will appeal instantly to every college man and woman.
