O RELIGIOUS CONFERENCE
Dr. Payne and Dr. Wilber to Speak to University Pastors.
Dr. W.C. Payne and Dr. F.A. Wilber left Monday for Madison, Vis., to attend the third annual meeting of the Conference of Church Workers in state universities, which holds its sessions February 15 to 17. Reports of all religious work being done in their respective institutions are expected from the representatives of twenty-one universities.
Comparatively few states have the religious work in connection with their universities as well developed as it is here at Kansas. At the session of the conference for the presentation of the institutional lectures of the university pastorate as now in operation in the various universities. Dr. Kayne who is the treasurer of the conference this year, will discuss the opportunity of the university pastors in a semi-official Bible chair. At the Wednesday morn-session Dr. Wilber then lead a discussion of two phases of the work: "What has the religious spirit to offer in bridging the gap between fraternity and non-fra-termite men and women?" and "The development of more helpful personal relations between students and Christian men and women on the faculty."
Several men of distinct prominence in religious and educational activities will address the conference. John R. Mott, general secretary of the world's Christian Student Federation, will present two papers on the religious needs of state universities and a policy of cooperation in meeting them. Prof Shailer Mathews of the University of Chicago Divinity School will deliver an address on "The National Significance of the Religious Life of State Universities.
CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION.
Prof. Wilcox Spoke at Annual Meeting at Topeka.
The Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri held its fifth annual meeting Friday and Saturday of last week in Topeka. The meeting was opened Friday evening by Dr. Paul Shorey with an address on "Some Modernisms of the Ancients," Dr. Shorey will repeat this address tomorrow at the University. Dr. Frank Sanders of Washburn College continued the program with various suggestions to the assembled teachers which he had gained from his practical experience in teaching.
Among other speakers at the meeting, Professor A. M. Wilcox, of the classical department of the University, gave an address on "Some Cretan Discoveries and Their Significance." One of the most interesting parts of the program was a joint debate, in which Dr. Shorey, Principal H. S. Miller, of the Kansas City, Kan., High school, and Professor Wilm, of Washburn, discussed the disciplinary value of different studies.
The classification association was organized five years ago at a conference of college and high school instructors of classical branches of education, held at the University. Most of the instructors in the classical department of the University attended the meeting of the association.

Reported Discovery Probably of Little Value.
LITTLE OIL IN SHALE
A dispatch from Jetmore, Kan., in the Topeka Capital last week, told of a discovery by which the shale beds of Western Kansas might be made to yield great wealth. A discovery had been made by a Pennsylvania man, the dispatch said, by which gas could be manufactured profitably from the bituminous shales of the Dakota and Benton formations.
Regarding the dispatch Professor Erasmus Haworth of the department of geology, says that University experiments upon the shale had not been encouraging "We made an analysis of the shale gas and it was our opiom that the gas was not found in paying quantities. Some of the shale was also sent to Washington, with the result that they found even less gas than we did," said the professor.
