ROMEO AND JULIET, ILL,
LEFT MOVIE STAGE
The regular moving picture program was given in Fraser Hall at 4:45 Wednesday afternoon to a large crowd. Bad luck attended the "movie man" and he must discontinue the Romeo and Juliet" reel.
One reel, given at first, was a short sketch of "Macbeth." The film began with the killing of Duncan by Macbeth, and continued to the overthrow of the murderer by Malcolm, the rightful king. Following this reel came views from the byways of England, and scenes from Naples.
"Romeo and Juliet" started well but the trouble began when Romeo and Juliet begun their first dance together and the film continued to break every second. They were tired of hard work and harder luck the operator was compelled to give up.
TEACHERS AIR VIEWS
Weekly Forum Will Discuss School Problems and Methods
CHANCE FOR LIVE WIRES
An Intellectual Grindstone and a Chance for Mixing
An opportunity will be given those interested in schools who are attending the Summer Session to defend their pet ideas in open discussion in a weekly forum which will meet during the remainder of the Summer Session.
The purpose will be to give teachers an opportunity to become acquainted with each other and with each other's ideas on vital topics. In this way, teachers can be a teacher which cannot be taken up in class discussions, will be considered.
Faculty members who have been asked concerning the plan have all expressed hearty approval of such an organization. Dean Kelly said: "I believe such an organization will be able to provide the students a change of ideas, but it will give a splendid opportunity for the men to become acquainted."
It is planned to make the last meet- meeting of the session a picnic or banquet. The social side will be emphasized throughout.
The first meeting of the forum will be held this afternoon, Friday, June 30th, at 4 p. m., in Room 210, Blake Hall.
Dean Kelly has consented to lead the discussion at the first meeting. The topic for discussion will be "Get the Community Back of the School."
ROOM LIST COMPLETED—
ROOM LIST COMPLETED—
REMAIN REMAINS THE SAME
Miss Anna Gittens, secretary of the W. Y. C. A., has completed her tour of inspecting and listing rooming services in the year she. She has listed fifty-one places.
The number of rooms is equal to that of last year, and a good many more are expected to be listed before the regular session commences in the fall. Most of them are equipped with modern conveniences, and are not very far from the campus. The price of rooms in most cases is the same as last year. Students who enter the University in the fall can get a list of the rooming places at the registrar's office.
"Certainly, we are having the Recreation Hour," said Dr. Alice L. Goetz, when asked about it," and we want everyone to come. The feature was not held the latter part of last week because the Coburn Players were the attractions. But it is going on this season." So we took Dr. James Nalsmith's place and the games will continue the same as before."

K. U. LEADS AT ESTES
Twenty-Six Men Made The Trip By Ford and Rail This Year
DELEGATES GOT SPIRIT
"Students Were There For a Purpose." Says Wadell
"The University of Kansas has the distinction of having the largest delegation of any university represented at this year's Y. M. C. A., conference with him, said Diane Wedell yesterday morning. Twenty-six men were present.
Money is supplied to those at the University who wish to attend the conference by Ex. Gov. W. R. Stubbs, at a reasonable rate of interest.
Twenty of the men made the trip this year by rail while the remainder went either by Ford or motorcycle. These men had some real experience traveling through the mud which delayed them so much that when good weather came they could travel by night in order to reach the camp in time for the first meeting.
SOME BY FORD AND MOTORCYCLE
The large delegation present was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Wedell, the secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., who has been instrumental in conducting several Estes Park rallies during the past year. He has worked hard but says that we feels amply renew for his time.
"The University has reason to be especially proud of her delegation this year," said Mr. Wedell. "All of the men were in attendance for a purpose and all fell into the spirit of the conference at the first."
Those present this year were: C. Havinghung, Hurg Wed, J. A. Carter, Ed. Todd, J. Homer Herriott, Rook Woodward, Don Woodward, S. Reid, Bud Voorhees, Mr. Wolgumtham, Clarence Fredrick, Fred Rockley, Lawrences, Robert Dudley, Eibin Price, J. B. Dail, Walter, Steinhawer, August Solig, Lester Evans, Clyde Kauffman, Hal Russel, Jack Coffey
NEXT YEAR'S OUTLOOK BRIGHT
The outlook at present is that K. U. will have the largest delegation ever sent by any one school to Estes Park next year.
A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
"Let Kansas Lead" is Slogan of Her Volunteers
A state wide call for veterans is being made by Lewis Whistler, a railway mail clerk, who is bearing the expense personally for the present. He is serving as acting colonel in charge of Provisional Headquarters at Salina, Kansas. The regiment will be infantry, but graduates from military academies are preferred. The proclamation is as follows:
A State-wide call for veterans. A provisional regiment of veterans and ex-soldiers now forming, with regimental headquarters at Salina, Kan., will be offered to the organization, to be offered as a body to the President upon a call for volunteers.
Give your country the benefit of that experience you have had. Show the knucklers that patriotism is not dead. We are not organizing a border game but a regiment that will see government be a credit to Kansas and the Nation.
Get your application in at once if you want to help organize; to wire prepain is advisable, and don't delay enrolling in the companies, as there will be more veterans offer than the number of the regiment can accommodate.
Exceptional opportunities to those who are qualified to hold a commission, who can devote the time to raising a company.
INVENTED BASKETBALL
"The Ford is a grand little car," said C. E. Rarick, a Summer Session student, who has been superintendent of the Osborne schools for the last four years. Mr. Rarick and his family spent week-end trips to K. C. in their Ford and are contemplating a trip to Topoks this coming Saturday.
Our regimental slogan is "Let Kansas Lead."
We will have it printed in gold letters on our regiment colors.
D. J. Pratt, who is doing research in botany at the University, this summer, returned yesterday from a two weeks' visit to his home in Rosville. Mr. Pratt will teach botany at Leland Stanford University next fall. He had a fellowship at the University in botany last winter.
Chaplain Naismith of 1st Regiment Used Peach Baskets for Goals
HYLO 'S HIS NEW GAME
Cross Between Soccer and Eng
lish Rugby
Prof. James Naismith, physical director and physician of the University, who is now serving as captain-chplain of the First Regiment, is the originator of the popular game of basketball. Basketball got its name from the fact that the first goals were simply old-fashioned peach baskets fastened upon the sides of the gymnasium.
The game of basketball grew out o a specific need. Up to the year 1892 there was no game to fill in the gap that came between football in the fall and track in the spring. That time was filled in with ordinary gym work, floor work, tumbling, wrestling, and apparatus work. The big husky football man of that time cared little for such work and consequently grew restive and hard to handle during the winter period.
WAS WITH DR. GULICK
Dr. Naismith was for some time an instructor, under Dr. L. H. Gulick, in the Springfield Training School, in Springfield, Mass. In the winter of 1892 the Doctor's men grew especially unruly and kept him on the jump all the time in the search for new material to keep them busy and interested. The proposition worried him so that he began to lose sleep. But one morning he brought to his class this game which they named basketball. It held the men from the start. The winter game problem was solved and once more the Doctor slept at night.
The rules of the game have, of course, been changed a great deal since 1892. At that time the rule book contained thirteen rules. Eighteen men made up the team; the field was thirty-five feet wide and forty-seven feet long; there were but three limitations on players; no one might run the ball until player should hit another with his first, and one player should not hack another. Now the rule-book is becoming almost bulky.
BETWEEN FOOTBALL AND TRACK
BETWEEN FOOTBALL AND TRADE
Basketball has grown to be probably the most popular in the world it is known all over the globe. Its rapid spread is due to the fact that it supplied the needed game to fill in between football and track and that it was taken up by the W, Y, C, A. which sends men every where.
Doctor Naismith recently invented hylo which is a cross between soccer and English rugby. This new game uses the same rules as the students in the Summer Session.
"The nearness to the fourth and the unusual interest in our National affairs make it very appropriate that the entire community join in this service," said the Rev. O. C. Brown of the First Baptist Church recently. "An invitation is extended to the students of the University to attend."
On next Sunday evening all the churches of the city will unite in a union patriotic service at the airdome, at 8 oclock. Prof. W. L. Burdick will deliver a special address. Prof. W. B. Downing will sing.
CHURCHES UNITE SUNDAY
FOR PATRIOTI SERVIV
Prof. A. C. Terrill, of the department of mining returned Thursday from southeastern Kansas and the Joplin, Missouri district where he met with members of the Miners' Inspectors Institute of the United States and Canada. They held their annual meeting lasting narly a week, in southwestern Missouri and southeastern Kansas.
Terrill Back From Joplin
Professor Terrill also visited Miami, Comerica and Pitchea, Oklahoma and continued his study of mining conditions in Cherokee and Crawford counties, Kansas. He is finishing up some University and personal work here, preparatory to returning to the Joplin district where he will work on ore treatment problems the remainder of the summer.
Miss Amanda Nouswanger, c14, who has been teaching history and science at the Lane County high school the previous year has enrolled in the Session. Miss Neuswanger has the principalship of the Ellis high school.
Dora Coffin will leave Friday evening to spend Saturday and Sunday at her home in Baldwin.
ATHLETCI BOX SENT

The following are contributors to the athletic box sent to Fort Riley: Chancellor Frank Strong, T. Swensen, I. J. Meade, Watkins National Bank, Farmers Bank, George O. Foster, George Hackman, Merrcants, Babe and Andy, Bill Weaver, Ed. Klein, Allie Carroll, Dr. Keith Keeley & Anthony Keeley, Bank Parking Trust, Company, Lawrence. Building & Loan, and F. J. Boyles. E. E. Alexander and T. J. Wildman expressed the box.
K. U. FILMS MUCH USED
Seventeen Requests Made For Extension Division's Reels
39 TOWNS WANT SLIDES
Widely Scattered Places Use Extension Service
Puzzle—A map of Kansas, with fascinating little red, green, and white tacks sticking up all over it; in one place three tacks, a red, a green, and a white one compete for the same strategic position, in another, two red tacks are striving for the right of wav.
Even if you were offered—and you are not, a large sum of money for solving the mystery of this tack-studded map of Kansas, you couldn't do it without the aid of a few magic words from someone in the office of the Extension Division where this puzzle map is kept.
The holder of the key to the puzzle explains: "Green tacks—towns wanting moving pictures for 1916-175 red tacks—towns wanting landmark buildings in the town where University professors make commencement addresses this year."
Could anything be simpler—after you are told? This map with its little red, green, and white sign posts is the record of big changes that are taking place in the schools of Kansas. One, two, three—seventeen green tacks seventeen towns, Syracuse, Oakley, Garfield, St. John, Wellington, Wichita, Coffeyville, Parsons, Galena, Fort Scott, Ottawa, Aitchison, Hiawatha, Topeka Vespa, Waldo, and Kirwin are carrying out the new ideal for the public school, a place where children will want to go. These towns are still growing, in the year. Can't you just hear the boys saying, "Naw, I'm not goin' to play bookey, we're goin' to have a picture-show at school this afternoon."
You begin to count the red tacks breathless when you reach thirty-nine—"no," you exclaim, "there's forty," because Haviland has two red tacks crowding each other for the main point of vantage. Looking at those little red-tacked tiers thirty-nine of them, Burdett, Garfield, Haviland, St. John, Sylvia, Nickerson, Halstead, Wichita, Wellington, Arkansas City, Coffeyville, Parsons, Erie, Cherokee, Fort Scott, Colony, Pleasanton, Ottawa, Springfield, Williamsburg, Topapec, Leavenworth, Lowemont, Hawatna, Living, Wakefield, Junction, Why City, Cornell Grove, Peabody, Peabody, Glaso, Lovewell, Jewell, Vespero, Kirwin, Webster, Hays, and Hoisington, you think then these children will have the people and countries in their history and geography made real to them by the use of lantern slides.
WILL DRAW THE PARENTS
And the bussy妈ers at home, with never a minute to go and visit with the children's teachers, how many will refuse when the small seven year old id of the household rushes in with the exciting news that "Hop O" My Thumb is going to be at school this after graduation, but I won't want you and baby sister come too."
The lines of home, community, and school life meet, and become one line that encircling all the little red and green signposts, draws more than Kansas towns into a circle, whose physical point is the University of Kansas.
Archie Grady, e1*6, has secured a position as director of athletics in the state.
James Gowan, e'03, superintendent of schools at Winfield, stopped off at the University for a few days on his trip to work where he expects to attend school.
SIMPLER WORK NEEDED
Studies That Interest Child Should be Taught Says Wilson
DEVELOPS INDIVIDUALITY
Child's Nature Should Determine Procedure of Teaching
CHILD MUST SEE THE REASON
Mr. H. B. Wilson, superintendent of Topeka city schools in his lecture Tuesday afternoon in Fraser chapel on "Motivation of Education," told how quickly work becomes dudgy research that requires understanding the reason or benefit of it."
"In good schools today," said Mr. Wilson, "children are learning to spell long lists of words that are meaningless to them. The time spent in looking up these words in a dictionary and using them in sentences is worse than the same amount of time spent in the penitentiary.
CALL MUST SEE THE BOOK
"I the same, that the arithmetic and geometric formulas are compiled to learn are not related to things in their lives or to their experiences. The subject matter, which is brought before the children, should be presented in such a manner that they can see the reasons for it. If they can see the results it will be lifted out of the field of drudgery.
"Then," continued Mr. Wilson, "instead of being forced to exert all one's efforts to keep the child in school, one will have him, soul, body and mind. The problem of discipline takes care of itself. There are no problems of spit balls and bent pins when the child is interested in his work. The individuality of the child is developed as a result of his learning. He is ingenious, he suggests new sources of material and asks new questions of which the teacher had never thought. Work becomes a soul consuming pleasure to him."
ESSENTIALS IN EDUCATION
ESSENTIALS IN EDUCATION
In his lecture Thursday afternoon, Mr. Wilson spoke on the "Essentials in the Educative Process." The subject matter of the instruction," he said, "is determined by the needs of the community, but how to proceed is determined by the child.
"The nature of the child requires that we create a good environment with which to educate him. We should make him do his own work in mastering this environment and then test him to see how well he has done the work by requiring him to express himself through stories, music, drama, manual training, and domestic science."
PROF. CADY WRITES BOOK
A Substitute Course for Chemistry I. But Larger
Prof. H. P. Cady of the department of chemistry has prepared a new book, "General Chemistry," which will be placed on the market soon. It is being published by the McGraw-Hill Company of New York City.
The new text is in a sense the second in a series, the first being "Inorganic Chemistry" published late in the year 1912. "The new book," said Professor Cady, "will not be as large as the first and will contain about 400 pages. It is designed for a course of from 6 to 10 hours work running through the entire year and not preceded by Chemistry I. It is designed primarily for courses longer than the usual time, but course given the department of chemistry here. The shortest course in which the text could possibly be used is 6 hours. The text will be used as a supplementary text in Chemistry I."
Brown Goes East to Study Linotype
W. B. Brown, an instructor in the department of journalism, leaves today for Brooklyn, N. Y., where he will enter the Mergenthalh Linotype factory for a course of instruction in the course of his studies. The Brown will visit in Montreal, Canada and Cleveland, Ohio, before returning next September.
No Kansan Tuesday
Along with the rest of the students enrolled in the Summer Session, the staff of the Summer Session Kansas will take a holiday next Tuesday, July 4, and no paper will be published until the following Friday, July 7. To make the twelve issues promised during the Summer Session an extra edition will be published on Tuesday, July 18, two days before the end of the first six weeks' session.
