Tax on C or D Student To Support A Student Is John Ise's Idea
Fines on Those of C Grade Would Go To A Students As Scholarships
B Grade Enrolled Free
rian Would Improve University Scholarship by Reducing Number of Poor Students
"The students of the University should be divided into three classes; the A students, the upper fourth of the students, those of exceptional ability and industry; the B students, comprising about half of the students, those of moderate ability and industry; and the C students, the lower fourth comprising those of poor ability and industry.
"Students of poor scholastic standing should be taxed," said Prof. John Ise of the department of economics. "They are an added expense to the state," he said, "and they should pay the scholarships and help pay for the education of the better students."
The A students should have not only free tuition, but should have scholarships of from $100 to $500 a year, each, enough to pay part or all of their expenses. The money to pay these scholarships should be obtained mainly, at least in the beginning, by charging the C students a tuition of $150 a year. In the University there would be about 500 students, and so there would be about 800 C students. Eight hundred students paying $150 each would provide a fund of $120,000, which would provide the following scholarships:
NUMBER 131.
5 scholarships paying $500 each.
10 scholarships paying $400 each.
40 scholarships paying $300 each.
50 scholarships paying $200 each.
130 scholarships paying $150 each.
525 scholarships paying $100 each.
The B students should pay no tuition but should receive no scholarships.
PLAN HAS ADVANTAGES FOR POOR
(Continued on page 4)
"A great many advantages would accrue from such a system as this," said Professor Ise. "In the first place, it would give the poor student a chance to get an education, if he had the ability and the industry to do A grade work. In the second place, it would bring up the standards of the University very greatly. Imagine a system in operation in which there would be 800 students in the University drawing from $100 to $500 in scholarships each year. In the third place, it would make the loader either to get work, pay his tuition, or go to another school."
Professor Ise said, "There are certain objections that may be offered but they are not vital. In the first place it might be urged that it would drive Kansas students out of the state. It is only the poor student. It is only the poor student in the state, and that could hardly be regarded as a loss. In the second place, it might be

Dyer and Morgan, K. U. Men, Get Good Positions
Eugene Dyer and Harry Morgan, former KU, men left the Kansas City Star last week for better positions. Dyer, who on the 'Star's Sunday staff, becomes Sunday editor of the Oklahoma City Oklahoma. Morgan, who was a reporter on the Times, goes to the El Paso, Texas, Times.
Morgan and Dyer returned from service less than three months ago Morgan was in the medical corps at Camp Funston and Dyer was in the Navy. Morgan was editor-in-chief of last year's Jayhawker and Dyer was elected to the same position or the 1919 book, but did not return to school.
Ten former University students are now employed in the editorial department of the Star. They are Ralph E Stout, managing editor; Marvin H Crenger, Sunday editor; Clad Thompson, Kansas Notes and Starbeams; Roger Holt, Editor and Clifford Butler, exchange desk; Charles Sweet, telegraph desk; Norman Green, literary department; George A.Montgomery, Kansas field man, Weekly Star; Theodore Alford and H Merle Smith, reporter.

The Settlement of Shantung claims in favor of Japan promotes the Nipponese to one of the three big world powers, sharing the distinction with the United States and Great Britain and dwarfing France, Germany, Austria and Italy, in the opinion of the Chinese peace delegation. Those on the island say that the reason Mr. Wilson gave way before the Japanese claims were because of Lloyd George and Clemenceau.
With Subscriptions to the Victory Loan lagging to a greater extent than in any of the four loan campaigns Secretary of the Treasury Glass, sent an appeal to all campaign committees not only to reach the quota of 4,500 million dollars but to exceed it.
The Juniors and Seniors desire most to have a confidential report on their special abilities, by means of psychological tests. This was shown when Prof. A. T. Walker checked the blanks that were given out on enrollment day. One of the questions on these blanks asked that all students interested in having psychological tests should answer yes.

Fred S. Rodkey Receives Fellowship Fred S. Rodkey, '17, captain of the track team and a fellow in the department of history at the University last year, has received a fellowship in history at the University of Illinois next year. Mr. Rodkey's application was accepted by three leading Universities for fellowships in sports departments but not Illinois. For the last year Mr. Rodkey has been the superintendent of schools at Alma, and was at the University Saturday with the track team from Alma.
Of the blanks given out 918 were filled. 802 of these answered the question relating to the above test. 539 answered, yes, 263 answered, no. Practically 67 per cent answered yes.

Vocational Training In S.A.T.C. Benefits Engineering Schools
140,000 Men Were Trained in 67 Different Trades at 168 Schools
168 Schools
"One hundred and forty thousand men were trained in sixty-seven different trades in 168 schools," said C. R. Dooley, formerly educational director of vocational instruction for the S.A.T.C. of the United States, who was a recent visitor.
"The draft furnished but one-half of the number of men needed for blacksmiths, carpenters and other trades.
One thousand of the men were trained at the K. U. School of Engineering under the direction of Dean G. C. Shaad.
"The difficulties in meeting this deficiency were many. The men came from all the classes, the run of the draft. With only a negligible number of misfits, practically every man was turned out able to do something well. Certificates issued at the end of the period showed just what each man was capable of doing, and the men were card indexed according to their ability.
"Largely as a result of experience in S. A. T. C. vocational training, the engineering schools of the country are emphasizing laboratory work and putting it earlier in the course. Not so much time is given to mathematics, drawing, and theory. This not only enables the student to see whether or not he has an aptitude for engineering and weeds out the misfits, but also gives a background of experience to understand the theory."

The need of educational work and its great possibilities was early forseen by Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of Yale, who was overseas with the Y. M. C. A. and he induced the Army Educational Commission to take over the work. The cost was assumed by the Y. M. C. A. at first but this cost was later assumed by the government. College professors and teachers were found in the army and these were freed from their military duties for the purpose of teaching. In addition to these, several hundred French teachers were supplied by the French ministry of public information, and these men taught French by direct method to more than 250,000 Americans.
The War Department is carrying on an educational enterprise in the American Expeditionary Force which provides for the needs of the overseas forces embracing graded courses and lectures in the sciences,ments of reading and writing to advanced scholarship and professional training.

and general. The vocational training embraces carpentry, telephone repair, wire and wireless telegraphy, surveying, road construction, automobile repair, cooking, baking, and nursing. The general course covers such subjects as algebra, trigonometry, mechanical drawing, agriculture, salesmanship, economics, English literature and advanced work in languages.
The American Army University is the largest university in the English speaking world, and is located at Beaune, southwest of Paris. It was established on the site of a great base hospital camp covering an area of two square miles. Ten thousand students attend it by the midfall of April, and it is expected that the enrollment will increase to 20,000. An attractive library has been arranged which will comfortably accommodate 15,000 students.
A—Divisional College System Used. The University is divided into a group of colleges. The College of Agriculture embraces courses in husbands' education etc., and conducts a farm of 1000 acres for practical instruction.
The College of Arts conducts instruction at Beaune, and a branch for advanced students at Bellevue, near Versailles. Besides these, there are Colleges of Letters, Business, Education; Journalism, Law, Medicine and Music.
Men who have already completed two years of University work may be given detached leave to attend a French or British University. About 10,000 men are already availing themselves of this opportunity, 7,000 of attending French Universities and 2,000 are attending British Universities.
There can be no doubt of the fact that these men will return to civil life better equipped for their old jobs or newly equipped for better jobs, and their relation with the Allies will increase the friendship and at the same time impart moral, intellectual, and physical qualities which will contribute to the vigor and soundness of national life.

Plain Tales From the Hill
FOR MEN ONLY
One place where women are not wanted, according to a co-ed, is either the hill restaurants after 10 o'clock or the clans before the class begins to gather.
"Now, then," said the upper-classman to his neophytes, "I want to remind you of a few points on etiquette that I want you to observe closely. Of course you have been taught these things at home, but you are just a bit careless."
FOR WOMEN ONLY
Green Hall steps have a competitor in the frontispiece of Snow Hall. Women gather there between classes these days as thickly as the laws ever decorated the Law steps.
Which was a polite way of saying that these recruits were all upstarts from the sticks where etiquette was regarded as essential to social success.
But now her office has a regular mirror. It was donated by a thoughtful prof and is a cover of Reedy's Mirror.
FOR REFLECTION
Miss Lewis, department of journalism instructress, had long desired a looking glass in her office, but no amount of persuasion could induce anyone to purchase one. Finally a journalist provided a Christian Science mirror, drawing a square on the wall and labeling it. "This is a look at your face. That looks like a white until another student drew a face in in the "glass" and then Miss Lewis again began her demands for a real one.
The class was mightily interested in Prof. W. S. Hunter the other day, though they paid little intention to his lecture. The Prof didn't know it, but he was making a pair of dice of two pieces of chalk.
DEAD WOOD
Two men, armed with axes ane saws, were cutting down a dead tree on the campus when the Sarcastic Stude passed by. He grinned maliciously and observed, "I wish they would start on some of the faculty when they get done there."
The senior mechanical engineer class held a meeting the other day but was forced to adjourn because of no quorum. Joe Mahaf forgot to be there. He is the sole member of the class.

Take Inoculation Now is Advice of K. U. Nurse
University Hospital Will Give Typhoid Preventive Friday Free of Charge
"Students who have not been inoculated for typhoid during the last three ears should be now," said Miss Mary Hight, nurse of the University Student's Hospital. "This applies to all women and to men who are ill with typhoid. Of those an epidemic prevented the usual inoculation this last fall."
"The senior women should be inoculated before leaving K.U., for if they wait until they are out of school it will cost them from five to fifteen dollars, while it is done here free. They should not only have it done, but done now, instead of waiting until the last two weeks of school."
Helen Barnett, c'21, and Alice Perkins, c'20, went to Kansas City today to meet their brothers who are returning from France with the 110th engineers.
The entire inoculation consists of three shots a week apart. The hours to be inoculated are Friday 9 to 12 a.m. and 2 to 5 p.m.
Winfield Wins First Honors In High School Interscholastic Meet
Valley Falls and Marquette Take Top Place in Classes B and C
Dobson is Star of the Meet
Lewis of Valley Falls and Mathias of Perry, Also Win Individual Honors
Winfield, Valley Falls, and Marquette high schools won the state track championships in the Kansas High School Interscholastic Track Meet on McCook Field. Saturday, Winfield scored 52 points in class A, while Valley Falls counted 38 points in class B. Marquette nosed out Perry for first place in class C by two points, the score being 20 to 18.
Dobson of Winfield was high point man in class A, with 22 points. Mounts of Wichita also starred in class A. Lewis, negro athlete of Valley Falls, was high man in class B with 20 points in four events.
Winfield won the class A relay with Leavenworth, Kansas City, Kansas, and Topeka following at varying distances. Florence won the relay in class B, while Marquette nosed out Alma in the class C relay.
Mathias of Perry was high man in class C with 15 points out of the 18 his team annexed. Mathias is a star man in the mile, but was unable to come up to his usual mark of 4:40 because of the heavy condition of the track.
Manager W. O. Hamilton, of the athletic association, gave four medals in each event in every class, making a total of 180. The meet was fast, considering the slow condition of the track.
Meeting of College Deans
Ends Annual Conference
Conference Will Be Held at University of Michigan Next Spring
The fourteenth annual conference of the deans of the colleges ended at the University of Kansas Friday night. "The meeting was one of the most successful that has ever been held," said Dean Otn Templin this morning. The next conference will be held about this time next year at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, it was decided Friday night.
The question of giving college credit for military service was one of the important things decided, practically every college had been given credit for service although nearly every one had been using different systems in counting the hours due each returned soldier, in every case the maximum number of hours that the colleges had offered is fifteen hours.
Dean J. Jones of the University of Missouri was the only dean absent from the meeting.
Practice Teaching Most Valuable for Teachers
Questionnaires Answered by 500 Superintendents Show Value of Courses Offered
As a result of questionnaires sent to 500 High School teachers and superintendents of the state by the Department of Education at the University definite information has been obtained concerning which courses offered for teachers diplomas have proved the most valuable. In order of the value placed upon them they are as follows: First. Teachers courses and practice teaching when it is carefully supervised.
Second. Psychology with special reference to High School problems.
Third, Sociology and public speaking are invaluable in meeting partici-
pants of a wider audience.
Fourth. Even in large high schools teachers are teaching more than one group of subjects which shows the importance of a minor.
The result of this questionaire proves the value of the courses required by the School of Education for University teach mas.
