The present Kansan board, which has directed the policy of the paper for the past year, has completed its duties and finished its tasks. The next issue of the paper will be the work of the new board and the new officers. The new officers are all experienced men and one of the solaces of the present board in turning over the paper to new hands lies in the fact that these new hands are so capable and so well able to develop and increase the possibilities of The Kansan.
The Kansan is a young paper. It is now in the sixth year of its existence. Starting out as a small, four column, four page paper, nearly every year has added some increase; however slight, to its size. This work should not and will not be dropped, until a five-column daily is established on a firm footing.
The Kansan has not alone increased in size with the years. It has become a little better from the newspaper standpoint with every successive board. The betterment has been natural and was to be and is to be expected. The new board will improve on the paper as it now is, and unless improvement is shown it will have tailed to do its duty.
One of the reasons for a man taking an interest in journalism is that connection with a newspaper increases his acquaintance and enlarges the list of his friends. Newspaper work also makes a man some enemies, but they are scarse and unimportant as compared with his friends. The board has made a great many friends at the University in the past year, and a few of the faculty and some of the students have enrolled themselves on the list of the enemies of The Kan san. To the latter the board bears no malice, to the former it reciprocates a hearty friendship. Most of the enemies of the paper have been made because the board was intent on printing a newspaper on giving the news three times every week without fear or favor.
In finality, the members of the present board have, with few exceptions worked hard and conscientiously to print a good newspaper for the subscribers of The Kansan. Whatever success in that regard that the board has
had can be judged by the subscribers. Whatever the judgment may be, the board turns the paper over to its successors with the feeling that it has tried to do its whole duty all the time.
TRUE AND RIGID THOUGHT.
Attorney Goddard Recommends Good Habits of Thinking.
The value of mental training was discussed in chapel yesterday morning by Hon. A. A. Goddard of Topeka, formerly attorney general of Kansas, in an ad dress on "Good and Bad Habits of Thinking." He spoke of the difficulty of directing the mind to one subject unless there was a positive interest which fixed the attention. Therefore each person should find the interesting thing for himself in each task which came to him.
Mr. Goddard gave an illustration of how much work could be accomplished when a person went at one thing at a time and the hardest thing first. He recommended also that each man should judge himself as rigidly as he judges others. This would cause a sincerity in thinking which is essential to continued success.
The thinking too much about the self was one common fault mentioned by Mr. Goddard. Not only is this bad habit a lack of courtesy, but it causes a danger that when talking, expediency and not truth will direct the words of the speaker.
LANDRUM GIVEN HONOR.
Elected Associate Member of American Ceramic Society.
R. O. Landrum, assistant professor in chemistry, was elected in associate member of the American Ceramic society at their annual meeting in Pittsburg last week.
There are fifty regular members, but Prof. Landrum is the only member from here. His election is the result of research work done here in the past three years in the department of chemistry The requirements are that members must have had actual engagement in ceramic engineering work. Prof. Landrum has been with the Columbus enameling and stamping company at Terre Haute, Ind.
The society will publish an article by Landrum in the transactions of this year on "Methods for the Analysis of Enamels and Enameling Materials."
CONCERT AT HASKELL.
The University glee club will sing at the Haskell Institute tonight. The program will be practically the same one as was used on the annual trip at the first of this semester. Many University students are planning to hear the concert. Since only one concert was given before the University by the club last fall, another will be given next week.
Glee Club Will Sing to Indians Tonight.

University of Kansas Has Only One in the Middle West.
SEISMOGRAPHS ARE FEW.
"The adjustment of the seismograph in the basement of Fraser hall will be completed the first of next week," said Professor H. P. Cady today. "Upon its completion Kansas University will possess the only one in this section of the country, as the two nearest are in St. Louis, Mo., and Ann Arbor, Mich.
Baker University has been incorrectly reported as having a seismograph, but in Baldwin they have a magnetograph, which is simply for the purpose of noting magnetic disturbances and not for the close observation of all minute movements of the earth's crust. Thus Kansas University possesses the only seismograph in the Missouri Valley and the Middle West."
Fred Cowles of Kansas City is visiting at the Phi Delt house over Sunday.

Orient Awakened by Missions.
"Ten years ago I tried in vain to get a Boston paper to print information about the far East. On this trip I am solocited by reporters everywhere for news of doings in the Orient," said Dr. J R. Dearing of Japan, at the Y.M.C. A. meeting Thursday evening. This thought was the key note of his remarks in regard to the changes taking place in China Japan and the Philippines. As those peoples are increasing their interest in western affairs, so also are Americans desiring to learn of our trans-Pacific neighbors Dr. Dearing has been in the educational missionary work in Japan for twenty years and has traveled extensively in the neighboring countries. He gives to Christian missionaries the credit for most of the awakening which has come to the Orient.
Afraid of the Phi Psis.
Afraid of the Phi Psis.
Prof. A. S. Olin got two cords of wood early yesterday' afternoon and busied himself until dark putting it into his wood house, a stick-at-a-time, and through a window. The cause for the undue haste was the fact that the Phi Psis live near and have x wood grate.
