Electricity Invented by Edison for Manufacture of Lightning. Thinks One Would-Be Teacher
Amazingly delightful are many of the answers received in an examination given to applicants for state teaching positions in Missouri. Perhaps the examiners in grading the papers might well have said in return to these answers: "We're from Tennessee," and "I was clared that electricity was invented by Edison, while another beloved electricity was used in the manufacture of lightning." Another applicant was invented by George Washington.*
In reply to a question upon the method of electing the president of the United States, three applicants for teachers' certificates wrote:
"In choosing the president, trace the history of his family."
"Steps in choosing the president are that he must be a college graduate and a public speaker."
"The president is chosen by the senate."
When asked how immigrants are admitted to the United States one aspirant wrote: "immigrants may come over as families or in 'tribes.'"
One teacher said that "Nelson is governor of Missouri." Another insisted it is Charles G. Dewey, and another insisted it be David Pike to be the executive in question.
Name and locate one of the world's largest rivals, was one question in geography asked. "The Nile," located near Egypt and North Africa, "one answer
Why did the United States build the Panama Canal? A teacher wrote: "Purpose of the Panama Canal is to get rid of mosquitoes."

University Orchestra Chosen to Aid in Two Music Week Events
of 47 Pieces
Accompaniment for Messial Will Consist of Symphony of 47 Pieces
The selection of the orchestra or the University of Kansas to assist in the two largest events of music week according to Dean Swearthout is an indication of their ability to do symphony work.
The University of Kansas Symphony which will accompany the Messiah Sunday, April 26, will conclude this season with something inerter than last year.
"The splendid work done by the 43 piece orchestra last year under the able direction of Dr. Karl Andrus", said Dean Swarthowitz, "gave me assurance that they could handle not only the Messiah, but also take care of the severe demands placed on the various instruments." Mr. Verd's Requiem." The orchestra has been at work this entire year on their accompaniment.
For the accompaniment to the Verdi's "Requiem" the orchestra will be increased to 52 pieces, and will then include the chorus. City Little Symphony Orchestra, in order to have several parts that are demanded for the modern score of the "Requiem," will perform by the University Symphony orchestra.
The orchestra for the "Requiem" will then consist of eight first violins nine second violins, five violas, four cellos, two double basses, two clarinets, three flutes, three basses, two oboes, two clarineti, two French horns, a tuba, tympany, bass drum, and piano. This orchestra is larger than the Minnesota Symphony which will give two concertes Friday, May 1.
Plans Nearly Complete for Annual Cleanup Week
In order to reduce the fire hazards, to improve sanitary conditions, and to remove unilightly accumulations of trash, the mayor issued a proclamation naming the week of April 20 to "Fire Awareness Week" for time use for the city of Lawrence.
All civic organizations have been requested to Join with the city officials in the observance of the week. Thus far the Boy Scouts and the Knot-Hole Gang have volunteered their help to make boys aware of the importance they also help clean the prentices of those who are unable to do their own cleaning.
sas City, one applicant said, "Kansas City is a part of the Missouri river." Another said, "Kansas City is on the Mississippi."
Belgium was located by one applicant in England, and Paris was located by another in Belgium.
One said Dawes is secretary of state. Another gave that honor to MeAdon.

Civil Engineers Win Cup
In a basketball game played yesterday afternoon on the field south of the gymnasium the mechanical engineers were asked to lift 2. This was the final and deciding game of the tournament giving the mechanics the trophy offered as the reward.
Just who was the father of the constitution disturbed many of the applicants. One said it was a Abraham Lloyd while another thought Coolidge.
**want is the spoils system?** **wass:** A "s systematic way in which to dispose of spoils collected in war," **waw:** A "way in which to dispose of spoils," **wav:** Where "the leftovers of trash that had to be thrown away, they could get it and make soap or anything they could get out of it." Anchors from the Spanish ship.
"Name two inventions and the inventors," was asked.
"The spinning jenny by Gompers."
"What is the purpose of the Civil Service Commission?" was asked.
"To control the quarantine of diseased stock."
"To provide funds for the salaries of foreign missionaries."
"The civil servce commission is for the use of getting an army ready to fight in war and for this and the U. S. should be attacked by her allies, they could not get any army. In civil engineering we would need people where the people are fixing to mine."
"Name and locate the Missouri state educational institutions," was another question.
"University of Chicago, Springfield Music Conservatory, University of Kansas, and the Chillicothe Business College," were a few of the answers.
Students at Denver University are wearing high colored slip-over sweaters and are having their friends diagram them. The jackets are covered with pictures, sketches, names and ink stains.
