Lawrence College Will Hold Classes Six Days a Week
Wisconsin School is First Mid-West Institution to Adopt This Reform
(United Press)
Appleton, W. Inns, March 11—The normal college schedule is unhilarious like and a waste of time, declare President Henry M. Wriston of Law University. Lawrence will begin next year to hold classes six days a week instead of five
Wriston said the present two holidays a week merely encourage the encroachment of outside activities upon the student's time. The tendency was, he said, for the holiday spirit of Saturday and Sunday to perish into the mid-week presumably because it is shut down more than over the portion of the student's time in which his attention was applied to work.
Reasons for the Plan
"Every college faces the problem of competing for the time of the student," said Doctor Wren in discussion next year's program. "Amid the demands of athletics, extra-curricular activities, week-end spent at home and the like, the five-day academic program has proved itself inadequate."
"It is perfectly obvious that from a standpoint of normal distribution of work, it is better to have one holiday instead of two. That is the first reason why we should change to the six-day week. It will give us a better, more even, distribution of the students' work. It keeps the student in the middle of his activities and keeps him in range of the library and the laboratory. The natural presumption is that he will spend more time in those areas than he did when it was demonstrated the value of this.
Efficiency Increased
"The second important reason for the change arises from the difficulty of arranging a program of studies. With the growth of this field, it now offers a great number of elective courses, it has become increasingly difficult to escape conflicts. These conflicts keep students from taking courses they are not interested in, and the lack of flexibility of program by the additional day. Lawrence needs it, and, adopting as evidence a new curriculum which defines the work of the student all more sharply, it is the challenge these conflicts. The six day week does this.
"The third factor which has caused us to adopt this new program is that it increases the efficiency of our plant. Large sections of our plant can be cultivated in its idle two out of the seven days. This is expensive and requires more buildings to accommodate the same number of students per week for an entire day week. While we have a well-equipped plant and plans for increasing it, we want to use what we have and we want to plan new ones on the most economical basis. It is some
"The six-day week as Lawrence proposes to undertake it is an innovation in the middle west, but has behind it both an educational and a business
Lawrence will be the first liberal arts college of the middle west to adopt the six-day week.

and Composing
The next event on this season's musical program, is the piano recital scheduled by Miss Carol Robinson, for Wednesday, March 17, in the auditorium of central Administration building.
Miss Robinson is exceedingly well known throughout the east and central parts of the country where she has for several years been recognized as one of our greatest younger American pianists.
"It has been my privilege to hire Miss Robinson," said D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, and when she wrote to me last fall concerning a recital at the University I was most happy to bring it about."
Miss Robinson's early stuart was under the direction of her mother who was a professional singer and pianist. While young she began her stuart under Fanny Bloomfield Zeiger, mentor and teacher of the greatest American woman pianist.
In 1916 Miss Robinson was the winner of piano in the competitive contests conducted every two years by the national conference of musical clubs. Two years later she won the contest for art song by an American composer,
Sorbonne Sends Bulletins
"Miss Robinson plays with a surety brilliance and fire that makes her recitals unusually attractive," said Dean Swearthton. The general admission has been placed at $1.00 with no reserved seats. There is a special rate of 75 cents for students and faculty members.
Special Arrangements Made for Summer Session
Bulletins have been received at the office of the Graduate School announcing the special arrangements made for students wishing to take summer work at the Sorbonne in Paris.
There will be two summer sessions from July 4 to August 22, and from August 1 to September 19. The special prices which have been made to cover all expenses of the courses and trips are $80 or $30 depending on the location to take. This sum includes tuition and fees of the courses, personally conducted penadesen, trips, and excursions, board and lodging, train fares, characterization and guidance by competent members of the faculty during the entire stay in France. Attention to baggage fees, accommodation and museums, and entrance tickets for theaters are included in the general plan.
The lodgings in Paris are arranged in carefully selected pensions. When on excursions or trips, meals and rooms are reserved in advance in
Persons interested may get a copy of the complete course of study and also the outline of the different trips in the office of the Graduate School
One of the interesting collections of the alumni office is the group of books written by K. U. alumni. There are 400 books in the collection at present.
Alumni Have Written Approximately 500 Books
The two recent additions to the group are "Biology of Man and Other Organisms," written by Henry Linville, A. B. 93, published by Harcourt, Brace & Co., and "Observations On the Birds of Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, And Wetmore, A. B. 121, published by Government Printing Office.
Mr. Linville has been a teacher of biology in New York high schools for 25 years. His book contains 506 pages illustrated with cuts. Mr. Wetmore, who is assistant secretary of the Smithsonian institution, gathered the books he had written for 48 pages, while on the staff of the Bureau of Biological Survey in the United States Department of Agriculture.
Chinese Gods Destroyed
Shanghai, March 11—Goddess leftren whom millions of Chinese have honored and idols which have had the reverent worship of generations are ruthlessly torn from their temple altars in many sections of the province of Kunqiang, South China according to reports received here.
Temples Are Turned to Marke and Bartering Houses
The dethronement of the idols is being carried on by provincial troops at the order of Li Tong-yin, new military governor. With the exception of a favored few, the ancient gods have met with a violent end in all of the large centers of Kunqiang, Xingxiang, crests and rivers, others were stripped of their roles and left out in the streets to shift for themselves.
In some of the smaller towns, however, the gods were more kindly treated. Hearing of the orders for tomb building, he hastily hid them in mountain caves.
The temples which housed the not deposed lords of the upper and nether regions are being used for other purposes. Most of them have been converted into market places, and in one case a realistic model of hell now houses a market where second-hand clothes, old iron and junk are bartered.
Missionary informants attribute this fall of the gods to the rapidly growing influence of the "Reds" in South China.
Native of India Enters K. U. for Medical Study
