IN ST. LOUIS TOURNAMENT
Uhls and Teachener Represented K. U. in Tennis Classic
Kenneth Uhls returned from St Louis, Monday, where he had been participating in the Central States Tennis Tournament. There were sixty-eight entries in the tournament, Uhls being in the last eight to be eliminated. In the doubles Uhls' partner broke his arch during the first game, thus causing their withdrawal. The two Japanese stars who recently played in Kansas City, caused the honors in both of their singles and doubles, the man who put Uhls out, doubles were divided into different sections of the central states, the winners of the different sections going to Chicago to participate in the United States tournament.
Uhls says that the promoters believed that the best was none too good, for the entertainment provided was excellent; a big Packard car at the disposal of each man, and eats that make you remember your host for ever.
Dix Teachener, captain of the team this spring, was unfortunate in that he drew for a partner a man of medicine ability, and the team was quickly defeated. Had Teachener's partner been a man of his ability, the common opinion was that they would have beaten the Japanese stars, for Teachener played the classiest tennis of any of the entries.

LOST GAME TO Y. M. C. A.YOUNGSTERS GET A. B'S

Summer Session Baseball Team Lost 5-2 and Took Second Place
Place
(By Walter Kauder)
(By Walter Kauder)
The Y, M, C. A, pushed the Summer Session team into second place last night, when it handed them a 5 to 2 defeat.
A misunderstanding as to the place of the game, resulted in but seven Summer Sessionists appearing, making it necessary to play the game with but one man in the outfield, and flies that ordinarily would have resulted in easy outs went as clean hits. Due credit must be given to the pitching of Uhrlaub of the Y. M. C. A, who allowed but four hits.
Wedell, pitching for the Summer Session team, had an off day, being hit harder than he has been any time this season, yet with a full team the result might have been different. Unless more interest is shown the Summer Session team will have to disband. This seems foolish as the best material in the school is needed in the summer school. The team meets Haskell tonight, and everyone should make an especial effort to get out and encourage the team.
Haskell defeated the K. and L. of S. at Haskell Tuesday night by a 9 to 7 score.
The standing now is:
W. L. Pet.
Y. M. C. A.

MANY "WHYS" FOR IT
Reasons for Faulty School System Varied
"There are 1700 answers to that question," said Prof. Arvin Olin when asked to answer the question, "What is the matter with our school system?" Other professors put it even higher and say that the number is 2000.
Dean Kelly's answer was "The thing that is the matter with our school is that there are too many kickers."
Prof. E. M. Hopkins answered,
"Let the people find fault. Say to
them, 'All that you say is true.' If
you will furnish the fund we will
remedy the fault." According to Prof.
Hopkins the teacher is not paid a high enough salary to induce him to spend his time and money in preparing to teach the subjects as they should be taught. And the grade school as well as the University should have only specialists for teachers. Whenever the mass of people will provide the funds the schools will in time reach the ideal condition as nearly as an ideal can be reached.
Prof. Raymond Schwegler took an optimistic view and said: "There is nothing radically wrong with our school system." Professor Schwegler agrees with Dean Kelly and Prof. A. C. Buckner that our schools are better than they have ever before been and are rapidly improving what is needed and are meeting the need as rapidly as is possible.
The Board of Administration was in session all day Wednesday discussing vacancies in the faculty which must be filled by the first of September. A number of applications have been considered but none accepted as yet.

Louise Craig, 18, and Forrest Miller, 19, Get Degrees This Summer
Two of the youngest persons who have ever been graduated from the University of Kansas are candidates for bachelor degrees this summer. They are Louise Harriet Craig, an eighteen year old negro girl and Forrest J. Miller, 19 years old.
Miss Craig graduated from the M. Street high school, a negro school of Washington, D. C., in 1913. She was then fifteen years of age. She entered the University the following autumn and met her work here in three years.
Miss Craig's parents are both graduates of the University. In '95, her father, A. U. Craig was graduated from the School of Engineering and her mother from the College. Mr. Craig has been a professor of civics in the Howard University, a negro school in the city of Washington, since 1900. Miss Craig's mother has property in Lawrence and is now making her home here. Miss Craig's home is in Washington, D. C.
Miss Craig wants to teach, and hopes later to take her master's degree. At present she plans to teach a few years before completing her work. Her ambition is to become an instructor in either the M. Street high school or the Howard University of Washington, D. C.
Forrest Miller, who entered the University of Kansas at the age of 14, was the youngest student ever to enter the University at Lawrence.
Miller completed the common school course of the state at the age of 10, but because of his age he did not enter high school until the following year. Miller completed the course in three years and was graduated from the Sabeth high school at the age of 14. That fail he matriculated at the state University. Because of illness he was compelled to discontinue his college course for a year, which will make him just 19 years old when he receives his degree.
**g** his work in the Miller will go to
After completing his work in the Summer Session, Miller will go to Oxford, III., where he takes a position with the American Radiator company.
VISITED THE POOR FARM
Social Pathology Class Will Also Inspect State Prison Tomorrow
The class in social pathology conducted by Dean Blackmar visited the Douglas County Home for the Unfortunately, southeast of Lawrence recently. The visit was made for the charitable and corrective agencies.
Two hours were spent in looking over the grounds, buildings and interviewing Mr. Jesse Pieratt and his wife who are in charge. They were very courteous and answered frankly all questions of the class. Mr. Pieratt said he is always glad to have visitors who are interested in how Douglas County takes care of its unfortunate, injured child he will appreciate if any one has magazines or periodicals will call up and he will gladly call for them as the county makes no provision for reading matter.
The class studied with reference to the large buildings and cottage plan, while the women were especially interested in the kitchen and laundry arrangements. The class reported orally on conditions and made suggestions for the improvement of the home. Saturday the class will go to Lansing to study prison conditions at the Kansas state prison.
FIVE A. M. CLASS A FEATURE
OF SECOND SUMMER TERM
Students who have to be at their classes at eight o'clock in the morning should be thankful that they do not have to come to their studies as the ornithology class has to. This class in field work starts at 5 o'clock, the object of the early meeting is due to the fact that the birds that they study are in the best of spirits early in the day.

"Style Without Spirit"
Some shoes are made according to Hoyle, but still lack in style and finish.
QUEEN QUALITY shoes for women have style and spirit—an animated something that tells of keen attention to small details. The makers of Queen Quality shoes simply know how—every wearer will testify.
They fit where others fail.
