KANSAS RANKS THIRD
Chicago and Wisconsin Lead Country in Correspondence Work
150 OUTSIDERS ENROLLED
Majority of Students Are Jay-
hawker Teachers
H. G. Ingham was busy. That was plain to be seen. And so when he said to come back in the afternoon, it wasn't surprising. In the afternoon, too, he was busy, but he did manage to slip in a word or two when he came in. He had glamorous business which had come with the latest delivery.
KANSAS RANKS THIRD
The office force of the correspondence-study department, a part of the Extension Division of the University, was as busy as the secretary. In one corner was a clerk checking over the room's desk; in another other side of the room sat a stenographer typing letters. She was some typist, too.
"Kansas ranks third among the universities of the United States in the volume of business and number of students in correspondence work," said Mr. Ingham proudly. "Only Chicago and Wisconsin universities rank ahead of us. Kansas is in advantage of Wisconsin in a few departments."
“Our courses are always on the increase. We have never known such a thing as a slump,” he continued. “A total of 137 were enrolled last September. This year's registration includes about 150.
SCHOOL TEACHERS ENCOILL
"Eighty per cent of the students are citizens of Kansas. The balance come from many other states: Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma and others." Mr. Ingham are school teachers who haven't quite enough money to come to the University. A number take the studies for recreation.
The limit for any student is two rublets at one time. Probably half take two subjects, the other half being satisfied with the one five-hour course. Any and everything is studied, from engineering to zoology.
At Wisconsin a special faculty grades the papers. Here, however, the regular faculty are employed Physical education is taught by Miss Hazel Pratt. Aesthetic dancing wasn't mentioned.
DEPARTMENT 25 YEARS OLD
DEPARTMENT 20 YEARS

Enrollment is for a period of one
year. A graduate certificate in
Kansas and $15 for non-residents.
TEACHERS TO MEET SOON
Faculty and Students Urged to Attend
While in Lawrence yesterday, F. L. Pinet, secretary of the Kansas State Teachers' association started a movement to secure an attendance of 500 K. U. faculty members at a regional education meeting in Tomeka, November 9, 10, and 11.
Chancellor Frank Strong has always encouraged University attendance at the big Topkea meeting. Pacing up the room, he will go to do will be excused from class duties.
The attendance during the past few years from Lawrence has not been as high as the association officials wished.
The program for the state association this year will include an unusual number of noted speakers. Five hundred dollars more is being spent on the program than ever before. Not the least of the attractions at Topeka for Lawrence people will be the K. U. Washburn game on Saturday, November 11. A K. U. alumni reunion is held annually during the Topeka meeting.

UP AT THE LIBRARY
TOO BUSY TO STUDY
It is after supper in the library. All is quiet except for the skuff of a book or the scrape of a chair. Everyone is busy except one idiot who sits and looks about him and seems to be talking to the magazine section, and picks up a magazine. He has artificial hands. The dreamer thinks of "Freckles" and weaves a romance about this man uses two steel hands so dexterously.
Others come in. Some seem too young to be University students; some are of college age, and others well on their way to life. And the idler continues to muse.
But hark! can that be the wild
geese riding high at this time of year? No, no. that is just the gang call let loose by several boys at once. No. But that must have been geese—there was the whirr of wings as they said they had right past the library windows.
"Tinkle, tinkle," and the Ider dreams of Poets Bells. But the sound is only that of an ice cream wagon passing.
A young gallant stands in the hai with an expectant air. Soon a young woman gathers up her books and the maid sally forth to together.
And so the evening passes until the librarian closes "Tom Sawyer", "Money Magic", or whatever he happens to be reading, the whir-r-r-N-r of the electric fun dies, the library is pushed back, quickly, chair is pushed back, there is a shuffle ofooks, and the late readers pass out under the stars, the lights wink out, the key turns in the lock, and the library slumbers.

Some interesting and timely questions will be briefly discussed and you may have an opportunity of increasing your knowledge of the present situation in the United States.
