Kansas Requires Most Preparation for Law Course
Carnegie Publication Ranks State Among Highest in Qualifications for Bar
Kansas was the only state that required the equivalent of two years of college work prior to the period of law study at the beginning of the aca decem year 1925-26, according to a 36-page bulletin published recently by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Three years ago this publication placed Kansas at the head of the list of states in advanced educational requirements prerequisite to admission to the bar. This publication has been complimentary to Kansas in the past three years in regard to its education of students for the bar.
The bulletin frequently refers to Kansas as the first state to comply with the standards set by the American Bar Association.
Kansas Meets Standards
Bulletin Compliments State
The booklet also compliments Kansas in its requirements for office students. It says, "Kansas has strengthened its requirements for office students by directing such students to follow the state university law course and by calling for semi-annual report from them and their preceptors."
"It should be brought out, however," Dean H. W. Arant of the School of Law said this morning, "that Kansas was not only the first state to measure up to these standards but that Kansas had these requirements before the American Bar Association set its standards."
Dean Arant said that the effect of these requirements on the enrollment at the School of Law cannot be traced. He made no comment, on the relation of law to education as a whole and the standing of the University of Kansas School of Law.

The League of Kansas Municipalities, an organization of the cities of Kansas which was formed in 1910 had just adopted an official seal for the League.

More Graduates Placed Last Year Than Ever Before
Kansas Schools Requiring More Able Teachers, Says Dean of Education
The bureau of recommendations reached its high water mark last year, with the placement of 244 teachers, fortune than twice as many individuals with a master's degree in the same other year in his history of the appointment bureau.
This may be accounted for, according to Dean R. A. Schweigler of the school of Education, by the fact that the schools of Kansas are constantly requiring better preparation on the part of teachers, and also in the fact that more colleges and universities requested information collection because university diversity than in any year heretofore. At the present time, only 18 individuals who enrolled with the placement bureau last year, are still unplaced and available.
802 Requests For Teachers
The total requests for teachers last year were 802. The requests came from 25 different states, and colleges or universities requesting candidates numbered 54. Twenty colleges and universities requested candidates. A noticeable lessening of demand from grade schools is shown in the fact that there were only 35 requests for grade teachers.
Only 84 men out of last year's class enrolled with the appointment bureau, although there were 172 requests specifying men.
"It is a real difficulty to anticipate, the combinations which are asked of the prospective teacher," said Dean Dearman, a special education teacher who school requested teachers who could give instruction in more than two departments, involving many combinations of unrelated subjects. About 80 students were requested during the past year. The introduction of new subjects, such as music, physical education and the newer forms of industrial training, necessitated combinations especially hard to meet.
**Curriculum Is Here.**
The *curriculum* of the School of Education, due to the greater elasticity which is permitted, should make it possible for the graduate from that school to meet varied requests for combinations of work. Every effort is being made to prepare the students for the requests which will be coming into the appointment bureau for people next year.
"Students who are planning to enroll with the appointment bureau for a position next year, or in the near future, will want to anticipate in every way possible the combinations which will be requested," he concluded.

Ultra-Violet Radiation of Sun Is Responsible for Dark Colored Skin
Dr. Eddison Pettit, Astronomer Establishes New Theory of Solar Body
(Selence Service)
Rochester, N. Y., 11.—Ultraviolet radiation of the sun, which is responsible for the tanning of people's skins and which causes it to increase with the rise in the number of sun spots, according to a paper read here recently before the American Astronomical Society (A.A.). The team observed at the Mt. Wollinson Observatory.
A method has been used to compare the ultra-violet radiation and green light which pass through an apparatus placed in front of one of the observatory's telephones.
In 1921 Doctor Petit found that the amount of ultraviolet light from the sun was about two-thirds that of the orange or more of the ultra-violent it is does of the green, he had to calculate what it would be if he could examine the sun's light before it passes through any of the air around the earth.
In this way it was found that the sun gave off about 32 per cent more of the ultra-violet than of the green, in November, 1925, the ultra-violet radiation, when corrected for atmospheric absorption, was over one and a half times as great as the green, and it is still getting stronger.
This means that the proportionate amount of the rays which tan the skin has increased 83 per cent in the last year and a half. This, Doctor Petit says, is in harmony with the increase in sun's rays and in an unusually large number have been seen on the sun's fact within the last few months.

Stars Not Always Old as They Look Dr. Russell States
Professor of Astronomy at Princeton Gives Improvements on His Theory
(Science Service)
Princeton University 11-Things are not always what they seem and stars with the cullmarks of old age may really be in their youth, astronomically speaking, according to the latest views of Dr. Henry Norris Russell, professor of astronomy at Princeton University. Doctor Russell's ideas on stellar evolution are similar to astronomers, but one difficulty that has puzzled him has been the fact that stars of nearly every possible type may occur in the same cluster. These different types are supposed to represent various stages in the normal evolutionary sequence, but it has also become a star in the same cluster were formed at approximately the same time.
According to the latest improvements of his theory, however, Doctor Russell supposed that all the stars proceed through the same general course of evolution, but some are harmed by their gravitational start at the beginning, but those of less mass may start at the middle of the scale, without having passed through the earlier stages, while those of least mass start near the end. As a result, if a large number of the same stars were moved the same time, the ones of small mass will be almost immediately in the same condition that their more massive brethren will only reach after many billions of years. The astronomer, examining the star formation, found them of different types and may think them to be of different ages.
The source of energy of the stars, at one time thought to be due to a gradual contraction of their bodies, may be supplemented by actual conversion of their matter into energy as proposed by Prof. Eddington of Cambridge University, England. Think Dr. Russell Horgan? He presumes that may at first contract, and then after it has reached a certain point, cease contracting and use up its actual substance by conversion to energy.

Simonton Gives Report
Preceding Mr. Porter's speech, Flord Simonton, c'26, K.U., representate at the national intercollegiate world court conference at Princeton, gave his first public report of the conference.
The most significant thing about the conference was that it was the first national student conference to consider current issues, according to Simonton. "The primary purpose was to make the voice of American students heard by congress and by as a whole on this issue," he said.
Resolutions Were Passed
The two most denitite accomplishments of the conference were the passing of the resolutions favoring the entrance of the United States into the World Court with the Harlan and McDermott agreements and the laying of plans for the organization of a national student federation, Simonton said.
Simonston said that the influence of American students in national affairs was negligible when compared with the influence foreign students have in affairs of their nations. "The reasons are fairly clear," he said. "American students are satisfied like American citizens and have a knowledge about national and international relations as the Chinese, Indian, Russian and other students whose vital interests are affected by these affairs.
