This is the fifth year the Oread Training School has existed and the first year that it has had a ring of its own.
A MODEL BUILDING
The temporary frame building on the northeast corner of the University Campus was erected last summer and is a model building in every way. It has seven class rooms, a library and an office. The building consists of five classrooms standing on the floors of all of the rooms except those in the basement which are suspended from the ceiling. The lighting is secured for the most part by windows on only one side of each room floor. The classroom is situated in every part of the room. The third floor of the building is devoted to the science departments, the second floor to language and mathematics, and the basement to history. The library also acts as a study hall and assembly room. The teachers alternate in taking charge of the library during school hours.
The permanent teaching force of Oread High consists of H. W. Nutt, assistant professor of education and principle of the Training School, Miss Lita Battey, supervisor of English, University professors acting as supervisors of the various departments, and students in these courses. The student teacher receive two hours' credit for each period of nine weeks with a maximum credit of four hours. This year because of the large supply of applicants few seniors have been allowed more than one period of nine weeks. The department of English alone has twenty-four different teachers this

A straw ballot will be taken by the Princetonian this spring for students to show their adherence to the president candidates for president of the university. A ballot in the fall will be taken in the fall to determine the possible change in sentiment.
Beginning next semester, the Missouri School of Mines will discontinue final examinations. Unless the individual professor gives a final of some sort the students will escape from the finals entirely.
E. C. Wilson, "16 Yale, chairman of the Membership Committee of the University," will be the Y. M. C. A. secretary at the University of Illinois next year.
Some Want Vacation for Recreation and Research Work
Not all professors spend their summers in teaching summer school or doing graduate work. Some of them are intending to devote these summer months to pure recreation. Others are trying to wiggle out of teaching summer school in order to enjoy the vacation as they please.
"I'm going to 'loaf' all this summer for the first time in five years" said Professor Kester. "Except for a little research work I will spend my whole life there areLawrence may take a trip the latter part of the summer."
"I expect to attend the Republican Convention in Chicago beginning the 17 'of June," said Prof. B. F. Moore, "if I can wiggle out of teachingum." He would think I can. From Chicago I expect to go to Washington, D. C., and do some work in the Library of Congress. Then about the first of August I will go up to the coast of Maine for a conference returning to Lawrence in the fall."
Professor Twenhofel will do research work in the oil fields and conduct the State Geological Survey of which he is director. Later in the summer he will move to Wisconsin where he has accepted a position as professor of geology in the University of Wisconsin.
Professor Dockery will teach psychology in the summer school of the Kirkland School.
Prof. F. H. Sibley of the School of Engineering will move with his family to Lind Mass, where he will work during the summer.
USE OF ENGLISH WIDENS
Tendencies Indicate That French May be Displaced as Court Language
The English language may in the future come to be the accepted diplomatic language in place of the prescriptive English, which is the universal language for international conferences. At a recent conference in Paris the English and not the French language was used by the representatives of the various countries.
Ever since the dawn of modern history the French language has been the universal language for international meetings. This practice grew up because at the time France was the leading nation of the world and her language was more generally uncommon than was any other. It was a matter therefore of general utility that it should be adopted.
The incident of English being spoken at the recent conference is considered by many to be significant of a general importance for English for French in the international conferences of the future. The reasons for the apparent change are merely historic evolution. The English language today is spoken more widely than any other language, and has been extended by English speaking nations to all parts of the globe. Prof. B. F. Moore of the history department who has spent some time in the Orient says that practically the only language used in Europe is Chinese. European countries have in the last few years been placing more stress upon the teaching of English in schools, not that the English language is really any better fundamentally than any other, but because of its convenience for all to learn something of the language which is so much used.
Another evidence of this tendency is the fact that the Russo-Japanese treaty drawn up at Portsmouth, where the English were stationed, was perhaps one of the first important incidents where non-speaking countries used the English in place of the French for international purposes. It was used merely as a matter of protection when you who understand the working of history it would not be surprising to find in the future that English would become generally accepted.
Things on Adulteration of Food.
E. Wren, a professor of chemistry, gave an illustrated lecture on adulterated foods before the class in food preparation in the department of home economics, Tuesday morning.
Lantern slides, showing the ways in which foods have been adulterated and mishandled, the picture, and the measures taken to control such methods were discussed.
The election of new men to the A. H. O. K. U., which was scheduled for yesterday, was postponed until Tuesday, May 29. At this time both classes and the now will be present and plans for the future will be discussed.

Faculty Will Decide Soon About Turning Clocks Up One Hour
MERCHANTS FAVOR PLAN
some Professors Like Scheme Others Say, Only a Fad
Because the schedule for classes of the summer session must be printed next week, the faculty of the summer school will probably decide within a few days as to whether the University wants to hold an hour during the summer months as proposed by the Merchant's Association.
DEAN KELLY FAVORS IDEA
"I favor the idea," said Dean Kelly when interviewed by a reporter this morning, "but I am not in favor of using the means of turning the clock ahead because of it. That is which university on previous summers, accomplished the same result by simply starting classes an hour earlier than during the winter season. Therefore, I think the merchants would be just as successful and it is a much more simple device to open up business an hour earlier than it is to be used two days a week. The time of their services but it is not necessary for church goers to turn their clocks an hour in order to get to church on time.
CHANCELLOR APPROVES IT
Chancellor Strong, when asked for his opinion said, "I am in favor of the plan of turning the clocks up an hour. In the dawn town district, business people work on their o'clock although it is daylight at five. By turning the clocks up an hour we would gain two fine hours of day light! And under the present plan we miss."
"GOOD TO RISE EARLY!"—ENGEL Prof. E. F. Engel of the department of German favors the change. He says "An early start will do a whole lot towards making the day's work easier." The answer will be an aid to personal discipline and help to strengthen character. Often the early hour is not utilized, especially by the student, where as if he had the extra sixty minutes at the other end of the day, he would use it as an hour of recreation and be really benefited. Of course, most German students "one could get up an hour earlier by his watch than is his custom but such a few have the tenacity of will to start doing so unless they have some such aid, as turning the clock up would give them. If this scheme will help us any I am for it."
ROOM LISTS FOR NEXT YEAR are being prepared which will be classified so far as possible according to convenience, sanitation, service and students' ability to pay. When completed the lists may be consulted at the registrar's office, the offices of the Advisor of Women, the Y. M. C. A. and Y: W. C. A. secretaries and at the University Hospital.
"Would Cause Confusion?"--GREEN Dean Green says the idea is all right but because of the confusion which would result, he favors changing the schedule instead. Prof. R. D. O'Leary of the department of English is opposed to the plan. "It is only a fad," professor of English, said. "Confusion where one locality uses standard time and another sun time as would be the case with the railroads and the town if the proposed plan is adopted."
Senior Invitations may be secured by those who ordered them, at the Fraser check stand on Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday mornings.
Mrs. Eustace Brown requests that all students who participated in the Scotch Dance at the Halloween Party and who are still owing to the gingham for their costumes, please call at once on her office and pay the small amount. The greater part of this bill is still unpaid, and it is unfair to expect the merchants to carry the account any longer.

WANT NEW STATE SONG
Kansas is to have a new state song, and it is to be written by one of her own loyal residents. To the end that every one with talent will try his hand at composing a song, he will offer a small prize for the best song, and honorable mention for the two next best. A resolution passed at the last meeting of the club in January 1967 called for following requirements for the song: "This song to embrace the spirit, principles and standards of our state, and while possessed of literary merit, it shall not be too elaborate in thought but should be easily learned and sung by all."

PROFESSOR PATRICK
Older Faculty Members Remember Him as a Warm Friend of the University
Although few of this generation of University people know of Professor George Edward Patrick, all have heard of the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis memorial. Professor Patrick was the founder and sole supporter of this memorial which takes the form of an essay competition open to all the students of the University. Professor Dr. C. March on 22 April is Washington DC on March 22 although the news of his death has not become generally known, due probably to the fact that he is known to so few of the University people.
Professor Patrick was in charge of the physics, chemistry and mineralogy departments of the University from 1875 to 1883. It was his tireless effort to teach these students on their feet and lay the foundation of these schools at present. After leaving Lawrence he held positions with schools of several other states. In 1894 he was called to Washington to take charge of the Dairy Department. In the department of Agriculture He held this place until his death.
NEVER GREEN EVERGREEN
He was always loyal to K. U. and has kept in touch with his friends in the faculty and every year he visited Lawrence where his wife is buried. He was always a gentle and peaceful man and it was his deep abhorsenge for war that probably determined his choice for the general theme of the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis memorial essay.
Trees Seem to Resent Inconsiderate Treatment
"What's the matter with the evergreens or is it what's the matter with the campus soil?" This is the question students ask when they see the beautiful evergreenes which were planted along the sidewalk from Jackson Gymnasium. Marvin Hill grade school, and bleached. "The evergreens were not packed with sufficient dirt," says W. C. Stevens, of the department of botany, "to enable them to grow in any soil. They should have plenty of soil packed around the roots, and then they could be watered." However, he says, "they might have thrived all right, the way they were sent, if they had not been delayed in arriving in Lawrence." They were sent to another place, and it is not known how long they lay around on the grass. This climate is not exactly fitted to their growth, but this is not the reason that they did not grow.
The attempt to get these evergreens to grow will not be given up but next time it is tried, they will have to be assured of their proper packing and speedy delivery. This is the third attempt that has been made.
