Big Run on Books at End of Every Quarter
Laws Have Largest Departmental Library, Consisting of 10,000 Books
Libraries of the University differ from the public libraries, in that no record is kept of the number of books circulated. More books are checked out from Spooner toward the end of the quarter because they are needed for term papers. Books are not allowed to be checked out unless they are absolutely necessary. Departmental libraries keep a record of books checked out by the card system.
The largest departmental library is the Law library consisting of 10,000 books. It is a rule of "Uncle Jimmy Green" that no books be checked out until they have been taught to search for their books and put them away in the right place.
The History and Sociology library and the Engineer's library are next in size to the Law library. The Psychology and Mathematics library and the Biology library are about the same size, each having about 5,000 books. Approximately twenty-five books are circulated to students in one day at the Biology library but very few are checked out. This library has an average of 200 books on reserve.
America Needs Minister of Education in Cabinet
Doctor Strayer Says Unequal Distribution of Wealth Presents True Democracy
America is the only democracy without a minister of education in the country.
"Unequal distribution of wealth presents true democratic education," said Dr. George D. Strayer, president of the National Education Association in a lecture at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Straver supports the proposal for a federal department of education, with a cabinet secretary at its head
"We are the only motion in the world among those associated with the overthrow of autocracy and for the establishment of democracy, who have not yet a minister of education," he said.
"The realization of the promise of democracy will come to pass when we accept the facts that the equalization of educational opportunities can be provided only when the wealth of the nation is put back of the children of 'the nation'."
"No equality of education opportunity existed in this country," he said, and cited the child taught in a home without a fully trained teacher, and a pupil attending the most modern school, finely equipped and with well paid, splendidly educated and professionally trained teachers.
College Association Wants K. U. for Member.
Society to Promote Interchange of Vocational Information for Women
The University of Kansas has been asked to become a charter member of the Intercollegiate Vocational Guidance Association, an organization to promote interchange of vocational information and to promote the organization of undergraduate committees to study vocational opportunities for women and to further co-operation of appointment bureaucies and students.
An effort being made now to obtain all colleges admitting women as members. The student intercollegiate vocational guidance committee is composed of Miss Catherine Filene, Wheaton College, chairman; Miss Anne E. Geddes, Radcliffe; and Miss Helen D. Wright, Smith.
The first conference of college women in intercollegiate vocational guidance was called by women of Wheaton College, in 1916. Three conferences have been held since then, the last in January, 1919. A constitution was adopted by delegates representing fourteen women's colleges, for a new undergraduate organization to make studies of woman's work and possible openings for college and trained women.
The question probably will be discussed by the Woman's Student Government Association here since no student vocational committee exists. A faculty vocational committee, however, has been appointed for the University.

Prof. Sherwood Denies Isolation of Flu Germ
means that they think the "flu" germ is too small to be caught by the finest filter used in straining out bacteria and that it is too small to be seen by the most powerful microscope. But that, too, is only their weakness; experiments supposed to counteract the "flu" have not justified themselves fully so far.
Isolation of Flu Germ
Bacteriological examinations at the University of Kansas from a large number of persons supposed to be suffering from "flu" revealed, not a mysterious "flu bug", but typhoid and parasymptomatic ligem. Lice. J. B. McNaught, who has a fellowship in bacteriology at the University, was sent to Wichita recently to make examinations from persons with "flu". Wichitaiana from that expedition came the erroneous story that the flu germ had been discovered. Lieutenant McNaught denies that he made any such assertion.
"The 'flu" has the scientific world nonplussed," and Professor Sherwood, "Experiment after experiment that seemed to be on the right track ended only in plausible theories that could not be deterred by the University work we have found some form of typoid in 'flu' patients, but no 'flu' germ.
"We are examining culture after culture from supposedly flu cases, taking them from wide areas, Wichita and elsewhere. It simply is a process of combing out the typhoid and other diseases and coming right down to a case or cases that must be the result of some unidentified germ or the unknown manifestations of some bacterium already well known with a job is to take the cases by continual and by enthusiastic conjecture and beautiful theories. It's the only way to find the "flu," and until the germ is identified it can hardly be conquered as have such scourges as typhoid and smallpox.
"We regret the premature announcement of the discovery of the "flu germ." We only wish it were true. We cannot not support it. Yet it is not true."
University to Give Credit
To Men Back from War
Men who were in military service will be given credit in the University, according to Dean Templem. The amount of credit has not yet been decided and it will probably be several weeks before the question is decided.
"We want to do the square thing," said Dean Templin, "and we want to be done. The problem will be some time before any definite announcement can be made."
K. U. Museum Named for Famous Scientist
Professor Dyche Headed 23 Exploring Expeditions—One to Rescue Peary
The Dyche Museum of Natural history was named in honor of Prof. Lewis Lindsay Dyche, the curator of its zoological collection.
Professor Dyche was a real Kansan, having come to this state with his parents from Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, when he was but three months old. His parents settled on the campus of the fifteen miles southwest of Toeka and it was there that he spent his boyhood days.
The story is told of how at the age of twelve, when he could neither read nor write, some friends twitched him upon his ignorance and he immediately entered the preparatory department of the University of Kansas. Being thrown entirely upon his own resources he was compelled to live in a tent where the Museum is now located and to do his own cooking.
Years later when a professor in the university he made this museum famous by the collection of mammals he made from every corner of North America. It was in the capacity of an explorer and collector for the University that he became famous. In 1880 his collection was to be sold to Colonel Exposition in Chicago and at that early date was valued at $50,000 and contained a specimen of every mammal in North America except the musk ox.
The loyalty of the collector was proved again and again. For example, one time he was offered $5,000 for some specimens obtained on a trip to India for a private exhibition but he refused the offer without a second thought.
Of all of his two score or more expeditions the most famous was his rescue of Commmodore Robert S. Peary, in the far north. When about to start on an expedition on his own accord he received word from the American Museum of Natural History in New York and asked that the船 be sailed from Gloucester. Mass., May 16, 1895, on the schooner, Golden Hope, and after an adventurous trip, Peary was found and brought back.
Professor Dyche was appointed fish and game warden of the state by tions in entomology, paleontology mammals and birds. Part of the basement is occupied by the depart-of anatomy.

ex-Governor Stubbs in 1909. At the time he was offered the appointment he stated his theory of stocking Kansas streams with fish and asserted that he had a right on the condition that he could remain on the faculty of the University.
He made twenty-three scientific expeditions including the Peary relief expedition to Greenland and hunted all over North America, from Mexico to Alaska, securing for the University of Kansas one of the best collections of large North American mammals in the world.
Professor Dyche was for many years a professor in the University—his first appointment being on the permanent teaching force in 1883. He came into prominence early as a scientist and he never lost his interest in his chosen work. He was made professor of systematic zoology in 1889. In 1909 he was given leave of absence from the University in order that he might develop and put upon a sound scientific and economic basis the work of fish and game warden-ship of Kansas.
Professor Dyche died in Topeka, January 20, 1915, following an attack of heart disease. Two weeks prior to this he was bitten by a Gila monster at the state house but the physician who attended him at his death stated that this had nothing to do with his death.
The Museum was erected in 1902 at a cost of $75,000. It houses collec-

COLD SORES
Then there were those sympathetic souls who suggested remedies, and you tried everything from eau de cologne to court-plaster, but as you feared all were in vain. The only difference was that one was more painful and more difficult to apply than the other, had often failed wonders, and in this case as in many others, time did its duty. In seven weeks you could see no trace of the one-time cold sore.—Daily Nebraskan.
Hurt! Well, rather! Smile you could not even on those rare occasions when you felt like it. To talk was agony, and not to talk was mental agony. A glance into the mirror made you miserable for an hour afterwards, and the amused stares of all who saw you, made you write for many hours. It was at first a brilliant red, and then progressed, through varying shades of orange, blue, and thence to a royal purple.

Cold sores! Not very pleasant topics of conversation, are they? No, but then they are not very pleasant things to have either. Just think of the last one which graced your countertale! Big!! For a while you thought it was going to completely overshade your view, but there is a few days it responded to your constant and loving care, and remained stationary.
