THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
VOLUME V.
FLAG DAY TOMORROW
The 139th Anniversary of the Adoption of Star Spangled Banner
PROCLAMATION BY CAPPER
All Kansans Urged to Observe Day — Movies in Fraser
Tomorrow is Flag Day. Although adopted 139 years ago, only during the last nineteen years has the birthday of the United States flag come to be observed and even now the day is regarded as of little importance except for the hoisting of the Stars and stripes over all public buildings.
Except for a display of the colors and a special moving picture program at 4:45 o'clock in Fraser Hall chapel, the Summer Session will pay but little attention to Flag Day. The movie program will consist of a two reel production showing the birth of the Star Spangled Banner, and a double reel on the life of Abraham Lincoln. Like all the motion picture programs of the Summer Session admission is free to all students.
Following the custom of other state governors, Gov. Arthur Capper has issued the following proclamation urging the people of Kansas to observe Flag Day this year as never before. The governor's proclamation follows;
"The Stars and Stripes are a little brighter this year than they have ever before. At no previous time perhaps has our flag meant so much to us. It stands for the might of a great nation of 100,000,000 free people. It stands for American rights, and these rights we dare to maintain, at whatever cost. But even more than for our right it stands for our duties. It is not power alone which the flag means to us. It is synonymous also with peace, with liberty, with national aspiration, and with good will toward all the world. It mightly stirs our patriotism, but it is not a symbol of the perverted love of county which fosters ill will toward any other nation great or small. It glorifies America. It is for 'America First.' But it is for America in the world's service. It means friendship rather than menace. It is the bravest flag in the world because it is the flag of a people brave enough, not merely to make sacrifices for their own liberties and rights, but brave enough also to stand for the universal rights of men.
NUMBER
"As governor of the state of Kansas, in whose honor a star was added to the flag in 1861, I direct that the flag be displayed upon Flag Day, June 14, upon all state buildings, and I urge that it be unfurled also upon all schools and churches and other public buildings, upon all our places of business and upon our homes; that the editors of our newspapers bring Flag Day and its meaning home to our people, and that, wherever possible, appropriate exercises be held in honor of the flag, especially in our schools."
"It is singularly appropriate that, on one day of the year, special homage be paid to the flag, that we remember upon such a day the rights it holds out to mankind. For nineteen years June 14 has been observed as Flag Day. This day is the 130th anniversary of its adoption as our national emblem in the midst of a great struggle for human rights and liberties, which we achieved for ourselves, and in a measure, for the world.
STANDARD TIME FOR S. S.
Dean Kelly Decides Against Turning Clocks Ahead
"The Administrative Committee of the faculty of the Summer Session decided at its last meeting to continue to use standard time during the Summer Session instead of turning the clocks up an hour as proposed by the Lawrence Merchants' Association," said Dean F. J. Kelly. "The reason for not changing the time, is the confusion that would result, as the railreads use one time and students of the Summer Session use another.
The Merchants' Association will decide at its meeting tomorrow noon whether they will make the proposed plan or keep standard time.
The Weather
The Weather Monday night and Tuesday; Partly cloudy and unsettled. Not much change in temperature.

SUMMER GRINDSAND SOME 'ER NOT
As Viewed From Library Steps.
Human nature from a dozen different slants can be observed from the steps of Spooner Library. Did you ever just sit and watch 'em go by? Here they come—grey haired old grandpa, swagger young flunkenes, spry, young, school teachers of forty, and a host of budding pedagogues.
As Prof X. approaches, you hazard a "Good Morning, Professor." An absent minded "How-do-you-do," is your response. If you're realize that he doesn't know you,
A cheery "Why hello," there causes you to turn around just in time to see your roomy going into the library but breciness remains outside with you.
Then comes the girl who sat next to you in class this morning, "Hello" you venture. With a surprised but pleased expression she looks up and recognizes you. Smiles and returns your "hello."
That quaint little woman coming there, who looks neither to the right nor to the left, glances up as you speak, gives you the "once-over" and sails by with a prim "Good Morning." A lad in the last stages of home sickness comes toward you "Hello there," "Fine morning?" Surprised at being asked for help, she fairly beams, "Sure is," he answers. "Kinda like we have at home." His walk quickens and you have a strangely philanthropic feeling.
The whistle toes the noon hour. You start down the Hill a few steps behind the blue dress of the girl with the smile. You join her with a no more clever remark than the foolish, wormout question, "Going down the Hill?"—and, so another pleasant acquaintance.

THE COOK IS POPULAR
Marvinites Camping on Robin son Place Have Busy Dusy
The most important and popular man in camp is,—not Prof. W. C. McNown nor Prof. H. A. Roberts, but Bob Waldie, holder of the most highly respected position in the camp—chef. All the boys like Waldie if it is rather trying to find that the supposedly hard-boiled eggs in one's haevt have been merely heated through. But as no other can do better in the culinary department, Waldie remains arbiter of the lunches.
Camp Robinson, established for the engineers on the Robinron estate nine miles north of Lawrence is a scene of model domesticity.
In sunshiny days after the boys are off for their daily tramp (and thirteen hundred acres is quite a nice little stamping ground), Waldie and the fatigue man (the most envised man in the camp) begin their work. Waldie spends the day planning and cooking dinner. The fatigue-man brings in the supply of wood and then the day's adventure begins for him. With a market over his arm, he sets out to visit houses where he bargains with farmers' wife or daughter for cream, butter, and chickens. Fatigue's duty is so popular that the men take turn about buying the day's sunlilies.
At six o'clock a noisy, hungry crew gather in the dining room and in fifteen minutes poor Waldie sees the results of his day's work disappear. Then Camp Robinson takes on the aspect of a men's summer resort; some play cards or ball, others pitch horse-shoes, while all smoke and talk. Then work begins for another two hours, drafting and making calculations then lights out until Waldie rouses at a. m. to get breakfast.

WILLIAM T. BAWDEN, Ph. D.
WESTWARD HO! TO THE FIELD OF DAISIES
Specialist in Industrial Education w ho speaks today and Thursday at 4:45
Help Yourself, They're Free.
Have you seen the daisy? Not the pink and white campus variety but the gold and white, petaled species. If you haven't seen them yet join the motley from that is moving westward from Marvin Hall.
Don't hurry for there are acres and acres just waiting to be picked. You will find a crowd busy when you arrive for just now the daisy field is a p-pular place. Groups of University girls are making huge bouquets and as you catch snatches of their conversation you learn that the daisies will form the decorations of more than one June wedding.
Over there a small girl is tugging at a clump of the flowers—up it comes and over goes the tiny maiden—lost to sight in the shimmering white expanse. Another auto load arrives and several more. Old men catch the enthralmion and everybody picks daisies but we can not miss a single one.
It's dusk before you know it. The autos, each an animated bouquet, dot the mile stretch to town. You turn for one more glance and wonder what your friend Bobby Burns would have had to say about this field.
SEEK VOCATIONAL END
Such Education Not Narrowing According to Dr. Bawden
This afternoon Dr. Bawden will deliver the second of his series of lectures on the organization and administration of vocational education and discuss types of schools providing vocational education Thursday afternoon he will speak on the subject of State and Federal aid of vocational education and will discuss legislation now before congress in the form of the Smith-Hughes bill.
That vocational education does not mean a narrow conception of education as believed by the many was the keynote of an address given by William T. Bawden to a large audience in Fraser Chapel at 4:45 yesterday afternoon. Dr. Bawden is a specialist in Burke Education for the U. S. Burke Education, Washington, D. C., and is giving a series of addresses here this week.
The speaker emphasized the value of vocational education in universities and clinched his point when, in way of definition, he said: "Vocational education is education which attempts to prepare for useful and efficient service in the world, suited to individual capacities and social needs, and insuring economic independence of the individual."
He interpreted vocational euction is the broader and more inclusive erm and discussed it under five subvisions: professional, commercial, agricultural, industrial, and homely ducation.
Vocational education, Dr. Bawden pointed out in discussing its aims and purposes, is primarily an effort to realize an universal education, and to offer an education for the many as is the case with many students to tempt keep pupils in school lower.
He interpreted vocational education to the general scheme was then taken up and education in the completed three heads—education for manhood and hood, for the betterment of citizenship, and for vocational purposes.

S. S. ENROLLMENT 685
Dean Kelly's Estimate of Seven Hundred Will be Reached
SEES PROMISING FUTURE
Director Expects to See More Students Adopt 3-Year Plan
Summer Session enrollment totaled 685 at six o'clock last night. The large number that enrolled yesterday were mostly students who left Lawrence immediately after the regular term and postponed registering until Monday, the last day after which full credit would be given. The present enrollment is now 210 in excess of that for this time last summer.
Dean F. J, Kelly made the statement today that the summer attendance in the future would likely approach that of the regular school year, if not finally exe it. He believes that many students will take advantage of the ten-weeks terms, thereby shortening the regular four-year course to three; and he predicts a increase in the number of teachers and professors due to a shortage which goes into effect this fall, requiring all teachers in high schools to take a certain amount of training every three years.
One of the most attractive courses offered this summer is special problems in school administration. The course is to be conducted by five educational experts of national repute, each of whom will remain in Lawrence one week instructing the class and in addition will give three public lectures. Dr. W. T. Bawden, specialist in industrial education in the U. S. bureau of education is in charge this week and will speak at 4:45 o'clock in the chapel on Tuesday and Thursday of this week.
"Summer Session at this University is exceptional in one way at least," said Dean Kelly this morning, "a large proportion of the professors of full rank remain in town to instruct through the summer. The ratio of professors to students is nearly 6 to 1, which is much greater than during the regular term."
Prof.F.A.G. Cowper Offered Progressives Prohibition Plank
Prof. Frederick A. G. Cowper of the department of romance languages made an attempt in the Progressive National Convention at Chicago to insert into the progressive platform a plank pledging the party to national prohibition. The attempt was not successful.
MADE FIGHT AT CHICAGO
The amendment was offered first to the platform committee, but was defeated there by a vote of thirty to thirteen. Professor Cowper then carried the fight to the floor of the convention last Friday afternoon. The presentation of the resolution to the convention precipitated a warm debate for two hours, at the close of which a motion to table the resolution was carried by a vote of 523 to 82. Reports indicate that the reason for not adopting the resolution was that putting it into the platform would crowd all other issues out of the campaign.
After the defeat of the resolution, Chairman Raymond Robins, called for a standing vote of the convention, to determine whether the sentiment of the convention was in favor of such an amendment to the platform. This vote was overwhelmingly in favor of national prohibition.
