Standards Needed for Improvement in Modern Drama
No. 109
Theater Needs no Apology
Today as 1 former
Times Says K. U.
Professor
Prof. Allen Crafton of the public speaking department of the University gave a talk on "The Drama of Kansas" Monday evening at Kansas City, Monday evening.
Professor Crafton said, "Theos: us who reluctantly admit that we are no longer of the younger generation, can remember when preachers pressed against the theater; and when drama of the drama was a subject which required frequently, apology. But apology for the drama is no longer necessary."
The study of the Shakspearcean plays may have dishipped the stu-
dium and its excesses and arrogance, but it gave rise to a new
of the acted play; it likewise danced their intreasts in vital drama more
clearly than any other. According to Professor Crafton
Drama To', U educational
At the present time our colleges are revelling in a bauch of poor drama, an amateur drama, although connected is far from educational. Professor Crafton gave two reasons for poor college drama. On the one hand, we show but little discrimination in the choosing of plays; on the other, pres-sion by organizations and by organizations is producational.
"But if no more respect were shown to other arts than is shown to drama, our societies and clubs would be hearing recitals of 'Yes. We Have No Troubles.' When we had taken six lessons from a correspondence school; and would be holding exhibitions of paintings of 'Must and Jef,' of 'Barnley Google' or more alike like the Slitte Madumnaut made by a grade student in drawing."
Must Have Standards
Must Have Standards
Professor Craftson said, 'Before we can begin to utilize drama as education we need standards, demands, requirements of drama, as we have in literature, paintings, music and sciences.
Need to Change Our Notions
Need to Change Our Notions
*Until we are willing to change our notions of the nature of education and until we are willing to pay the price for our new desire in hard, intelligent work, our schools will never reap any value or benefit from them.*
"Such lessons as life has to reveal to us for our own advantage and for the drawing out of our powers are natural, and without our being awaits in the effort of so Solution. So, not only is our potential laboratory, our material equipment, provided in the theater building, but our text books and teachers are pro- creative great plays, where the creation of our own effective educational agencies is desired.
Training Class to Hold First Meeting Tonight
"Not until real, sincere drama has been given an honest test, covering a period of time and accompanied by the same attention and enthusiasm which accompanies our present efforts, can we that the public is aware of the enjoyment and appreciating good drama. And we make a higher quality demand we can hope to draw drama fulfilling its educative function."
The normal training class will meet tonight for the first time at Westminster hall. The purpose of this class is to discuss groups. "Any group of a half dozen of men or women who would like to organize and appoint a leader to attend this class may do so," M. Y, C. A. secretary, this morning.
The course lasts six weeks, ending at Easter. Any group interested in sending a representative should send a letter to the pastor of Ruth Terry, or Ted Shultz. The class will start tonight at 7 o'clock, led by Ruth Terry, the pastor of the Presbyterian church.

Education Professor Compiles Recreation Statistics From Tests
H. C. Lehman Conducts Quizzes to Learn Play Tendencies of Young People
Lehman's Play Quiz, a test to determine recreational tendencies, was conducted by Prof. H. C. Lehman of the School of Education in his classes today! About 100 students took the quiz.
From this quiz, Professor Lehman expects to get some interesting data regarding the recreational pursuits of her students in items as chewing gum, having "dates," smoking, reading the "funny" papers, were included in the curriculum. The majority of the items are below third grade standard, consisting of playing with dolls, playing Indian and similar playful tendencies.
Similar quizzes were conducted by Professor Lehman last semester in the grade schools, high schools and universities. In contrast, the professor Lehman did the same work in several towns of the state, selecting different environmental conditions to be more certain of the conditions that existed during the different ages among the sexes.
From the results of these quizes,
Professor Lehman has prepared charts showing the percentage pursuing certain recreations at the different ages. These charts were shown to the education classes today.

Miss Ruby Hosford, A. M., '13, talked to the members of the Entomology Club Tuesday about her travels and experiences in Argentine and Paraguay. Miss Hosford, a former member of the Entomology Club, said that a trip into the South American Republic was well worth while.
Miss Hoaford taught English and domestic science three years at a girls' school in Buenos Aires, and the same subject in a school at Rosario, second largest city of Argentine, for two years.
She took a river boat trip from Argentine to Asunción, capital of Paraguay. This trip she described as one of the most lovely she had ever taken. South America is a wonderful place to visit according to Miss Hofford, who showed pictures of the ruins. As a place of permanent residence, the United States still has the greater appeal to her.

Stadium Field in Shape
Ridge Height Twelve Inches Above Sideline
"Stadium field is again back in perfect shape after being raised and resedded," said Dr. F. C. Allen in commenting on the recent work being done on the field since football season closed.
"We found that the central part of the field had fallen four inches below the level of the sidelines, and that practically all the original sod had been worn off along the center of the field. In order to make it more "done," continued Doeer Allen. All the worn off soil was removed, new dirt put in to fill in the settled places, and new sod laid. The field now has a ridge height of twelve inches above the side lines, making a total of six inches in all that the field was raised.
"We were indied fortunate," said Doctor Allen, "in having Mr. Davidson to superintend this work. Through his efficient management the whole cost of res-leaving the field will be reduced. We are glad to see the field back in good shape and we are our aim to keep it always in the best of condition."
