Paper Criticizes Novelists' Choice of Heroes A classroom lecture by Miss Margaret Lynn, of the University of Kansas, concerning the unfairness of writers for the press and of their fortunate facial characteristics, now has received the emphatic support of an editorial writer on the New York evening Sun, who wrote a satirical essay, "Square Chins and Dimplems." "Painters and novelists have always believed fervently in signa," the Evening Sun says. "They simplify the work of character portrayal amazingly. It is (rue, not all the doctors agree. Some favor the 'cold blue eye,' some favor the 'sun' eye,' the large mouth be a sign of scarcity, and then again it may denote generosity. "Here comes an asiate professor of literature in the University of Kansas, and blows away all the well worn but still serviceable tags of the studio or study. And she can not be dismissed with any easy sneakiness. For Marie Curie herself, a novelist of distinction. It is a self-deny ordinance that she promulgates; a sacrifice hit that she makes.

It seems that two bys from the same family attended the tie University: "The brother with the square chin departed from us after several efforts to carry out ten hours of supposed weak facial characteristics, and much more determination and proved to be a good scholar.

The students are all familiar with the jinx which has been a source of trouble at K. U. since time immemorial. But at last a jinx breaker has been found in the form of a freshman.

Every game blair played the exeunt of the Nebraska foot-team and what person, mortal or immortal, can effect such demons) K. U. has won. But what is even more strange every game which he has not attended Kansas has lost. Indeed such a man in invaluable to the school. To let: Two bungalows and one apartment house in the front and back yard at 1209 Ohio. Only wren need apply. If such an "ad" could be inserted in the "Birdville Journal," the three little green bird houses, built by Prof. W. J. Baurgartner, of the department of zoology, in his yard would not go begging. The entrances are small in order that the bold sparrows may not enter and frighten away the nimid wrens. The most modern house, all of which are "upland trees" is the eight apartment building in the city. Each apartment is provided with a separate entrance and an individual porch, which may, of course, be used as a sleeping porch. Cherry trees nearby make the location of the houses especially desirable. None of the wrens have had "moving day" as yet, but Prof. Baumgarten might if someone of them does not honor his works of architecture soon. Some students taking economics decided after a quiz, that common sense is always quoted at par while preferred sense is a drug on the market.

Mrs. H. J. Smith of Kansas City, Kan. spent Friday with her daughter, Bertha, '16 College, at the Alemmani house. Raymer McQuiston, Anna G. Myers and Thrysa Amos are spending the week in Parsons making a study of the mental development of all the fifth grade children by means of the most modern scales for mental measurement and Yerkes Point scales are being used. The information gained will be of direct service to both the Parsons city school and the School of Education at the University of Kansas. It is expected that Sup. F. Linet will be able to classify his children more accurately for their testing having the results of these tests available for purposes of classification. and at that we suspect that it was the best effort handed in. Send the Daily Kansan home. A new one—A Shy Omega. Students Study Mental Development of Children The School of Education will be able to make valuable investigations concerning the reliability of modern tests and scales for measuring school work. All these investigations have become possible because all the children in the Parsons schools have been tested during this year by the Kettering Reading, F. J. Kelley, and F. J. Kelley of the School of Education, by the Ayrres test for spelling and hand writing by the Ballou scales for measuring composition, and by the Courtis tests for arithmetic. All of these tests and scales are provided by the Bureau of Educational Measurements and Standards of the State Normal School at Emporia, MO. Individual tests will be available by the School of Education to make comparative studies with results obtained by the intelligence tests, made by Prof. Raymond Schwegler and his three assistants.

When Prof. W. J. Bumgartner, of the department of woology, missed a skull with which he intended to demonstrate to his class in comparative anatomy, he remarked to the class: "Somebody has taken a certain skull on which it intends to learn some interesting features. Now I see the person who took itwho merely wants it for a souvenir and will get tired of it in time; for it's a good deal of a nuisance to carry around souvenirs and they usually fall by the wayside. I wish whoever the skull you wound up seeing because he is chewing himself by not being able to inform the information I want to give about it." The next morning the skull was in its accustomed place on the table. Mr. E. L. Elder and Mr. G, O. Kik-patrick, of Mankato, stopped off Wednesday to visit Raymond Elder, a freshman in the College from Mankato. They were on their way home in an auto from Kansas City. A new record in tennis was made by Charles Easton, a freshman, Monday night. He won a love set against the freshman, without hitting the ball. Why Is Oread High School? The School of Education in the University of Wisconsin serves for the high schools in the state. It is necessary therefore that they have a laboratory in which to work out their theories. Oread Training School is established for students as model occupies with all modern amenities and necessities. Jr. Oread High School? The seniors and graduate students who do the teaching have full charge of the work in every way; hearing the recitations, grading the papers, assigning the lessons, and using their own disciplinary power. All the subjects taught in the large modern high schools are offered here. Here specially prepared seniors and graduate students of the University do the actual teaching under the close supervision of an instructor from the University, who teaches the same course.

New York Jurist Gains Favor at Lansing, Michigan Primaries By United Press Leaved Wife Lansing, Mich., May 6. A conditional endorsement for a Republican Charles E. Holmes to represent republican presidential nomination in was prospect when Michigan republicans assembled in state convention here today. The movement for endorsement of the New York jurist sprang up unexpectedly and there was some hush that the plan may be turned over to another gathering. Opposition to the movement was expressed by some delegates who believed that the result of the Michigan presidential preference primary should be rigidly adhered to, and that Henry Ford should be given the chance to challenge Michigan debeleder on howover urged that Ford had publicly released all delegates and had asserted repeatedly that he was not a candidate. Frank Gage, 11 College, has been appointed band director in his home town, Minneapolis, Kan, for the summer. Gage will make regular weekend trips from now until the end of the season to this town, some 150 miles away, in order to demonstrate how J. C. McCanlies turns out band directors. That someone at Robinson Gym must have been reading the patent medicine advertisement that advises it's readers to drink hot water every day was the conclusion of Worthie Hoar one day last week. He went to a drinking fountain in the gym and was about to imbibe when he noticed that the water had a peculiar odor. Soon boiling water and steam began to pour forth and Worthie retreated without his drink. The temptation of an "eighty per" teaching position in the Tulsa, Okla. schools proved too strong for Rachel Bell, '19 College, and she filled a vacancy on the teaching staff there the first of the month. Ada Harnen, who left the University at the end of last semester, on account of the illness of her sister, was down from Topeka, Tuesday, arranging some matters concerning her credits.
