Origin of Music Week Found in Chants of Naked Savages. Who Sang Before Huge Fires
Music Week days back to the time when naked, swavages squatted in semi-circles about huge flickering fires and sang barbie, rhythmic chants. At a later period, history finds that ancients civilizations sang sacred to their gods and idols. The present day finds us gathered together in groups in theater, church, auditorium, and school to sing the songs that everyone knows. Music Week, born of community singing, has been inspired by love of music common to all.
Music Week), as we know it, is a direct outgrowth of the Great War. Previous to that time it was recognized only by small groups who organized in choral societies, some of which attained sufficient proficiency to appear in public concert. During the war, the doughboys learned to sing under the direction of a conductor and brought about a genuine liking for music. When the veterans returned home, they communicated the enthusiasm around them, by camp songs to their fellow workers, with

Students Try to Rear Praying Mantis Heri
One tragic death after another has marked the attempts of elementary ontology students to rear the baby Chinese praying mantis.
Perhaps it is the climate, or the diet, or some mystic oriental malady that forces us to be more modern than they may be but modern examples of "Give me liberty or give me death!" as they continue to roll on their backs and poke their six legs into the heavy
Emerging from papery egg-cases, resembling miniature hornet nests, they crawl stiffly out into an alien hive. They can grip tiny heads; fiercely they extend their arm-like claws from their slender long-necked bodies and step slowly about on their hair-like legs. A terrifying scene in every move of their small armor.
A number of the egg cases which were sent to the entomology department by a former student now living in New Jersey, where these mantles have been successfully introduced, have been hung in shrubbery on and near the Hill in hope that they will be able to work their mantles will be able to work out their own salvation and in time become as common as the native and similar varieties.
Bulletins on Research Supplied by Stouffer
The National Research Council has published a number of bulletins on the opportunities and advantages of work in the various fields of science.
"Students interested can see a copy of these bullets in the graduate office or I will see that they are supplied with any particular copy," said E. B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School.
These are prepared especially for students in order that they may know what to expect if they go into research work, according to Dean Stuart.
the result that within an incredibly short time groups from all walks of life were banding together for the cultivation of singing. Community singings, like those at the smaller towns and villages throughout the country.
The bulbines available are on; chemistry, engineering, industrial research, physics, autonomy, mathematics, geology, public health, zoology, botany, agriculture, forestry, anthropology and psychology.
The first real Music Week was held in New York, Feb. 1-7, 1920, when all musical associations of the city combined to bring music in some form or another home to everybody. The example was the United States communities and within three years the idea had been adopted by the entire country.
Today, Lawrence is in the midst of its second annual Music Week. The program includes every musical organization of the city. America has been singular in its slowness to recognize the merit of its native composers, and our government has taken no steps to encourage national music education, as other leading nations have long been accustomed to sing along with an interest in music of a better class, and a tendency on the part of Americans to progress beyond the elemental stage of musical appreciation.
"C'mon, Skinny, Let's Run the Town Today!"
Today is Boys' Day in Lawrence and accordingly the city government and some of the private business houses have been turned over to those of the younger generation for the day.
From the mayor on down the line to the most insignificant of all city officials a boy will be found in office today. All of the regular city business will be transacted and the youthful one will be driven to the motorista who sometimes drive a little carelessly that all violators will be arrested and fined the limit.
The entire force of Ober's store will be made up of high school students and adult volunteers. The instruction in the operation of a clothing store and on Saturday from 8:45 until 1 o'clock the Lawrence Institute will be in the hands of bankers.
Other cities tried the boys' government system out yesterday and reports have been received from Kanada. Toppea that it was very successful.
