GRAMMAR NOT ESSENTIAL
German Can Be Learned With Little Memory Work
Almost all the German instructors at the University agree that German can be learned without an extensive study of grammar. The easiest way to do this, they maintain, is by constantly reading and speaking German. The new direct method, which is being tried out, is proving successful all over the country. It emphasizes the practical use of German.
Prof. Harry C. Thuruna, head of the department of German, says: "It is possible to learn to speak and read German without an extensive study of grammar, but some principles of German are useful, such as wish to speak or read it." He recommends the use of books which use every-day words over and over.
Prof. E. F. Engle, when asked for his opinion on the matter said: "Go to Germany. If you would learn the language as the natives do, live with them, read their papers, converse with them, until the language becomes a part of you. If this is imminent, I will travel in America by applying yourself and making use of the words as you learn them."
Miss Emma Palmer thinks that the new direct method which is being attempted here is proving successful. However, it takes a much longer time to teach university students in this way than it does by the grammar method.
"Instructors formerly thought the only way to teach a language was by filling the student's head full of useless rules," said H. V. E. Palmbild. He could realize that only a few details of grammar are essential."
GRAMMAR METHOD FOR COLLEGESE
For college students the grammar
method is best, says W. H. Hawkins.
"Such a short period is allowed this one subject that it is impossible for teachers to use the language in class and make any headway unless they are a good command of constructions."
Mrs. Caroline B. Spangler says that in many junior high schools one and a half years is given to teaching German by the natural method. This means reading short texts, using short words over and over and acting out the words until they are made sound. They never forgets them. Practically to grammar is taught during the first year.

CLOSE WITH A FEED
Miners Wind-up Day of Lectures With Banquet in Gym-
About thirty of the faculty and students of Haworth Hall were present at the banquet given in Robinson Gym last night at the close of the first annual Miner's Day at the University. Two of the visiting speakers were unable to attend, but otherwise the attendance of advanced students in geology, mining engineers and faculty was nearly complete.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth acted as toastmaster for the evening. R. B. T. Kilian discussed flotation as a process of ore treatment that offers a promising field for development. This study considered similarly studied by K. U. men.
Safety first was the topic that was dealt with by A. A. Knapp of the Department of Labor and Industry at Topeka. Dr. Henry M. Payne discussed the problems and opportunities that confront a mining engineer when he goes to work in regions far from civilization.
The Ohio State University Geology classes will not make their annual trip to see Mammoth Cave this year on account of the shortness of the timeframe. Four students spent five days studying the mysteries of the cave.
At the afternoon session of the miners, the address of Levi Day, superintended of the State Mine at Lansing was omitted for lack of time.

A. A. Knapp of Topeka lectured on Safety First, using lantern slides to show various means of protecting men from dangerous machinery.
The problem of teaching the city convict how to work is the one that confroites the officials at Lansing, accuse them of mistreatment and the State Penitentiary. The majority of the convicts there are city men who do not know how to work but when they are sent, they are more anxious to work in the city than elsewhere, Warden Coding said.
Columbia University will have over $4,000,000 with which to pay its running expenses next year according to an associated press dispatch. This means an increase of over $200,000 in the budget of this current year.

NEW FRAT EXCLUSIVF
One Must be Some Athlete to Make Sigma Delta
“K” MEN MAY GET LEFT
Some Football Stars Can't Pass Membership Tests
If a chapter of Sigma Delta PSi, the athletic fraternity, is situated at the University this spring, there is going to be a howling mob of applicants. Almost every student and his brother has done some of the real work, in last night's Kansan but very few have a turn at all of them. In fact, some of the many students may even practice up a bit before the tryout.
About this time last year a movement was started to create a little interest in the organization but it was short-lived. The pushers of the movement this year, however, are not going to let it drop. The athletes are anxious to see a tryout held some distance in the near future and most every one will want to get into the tryout. This will ranged for soon by the instructors in the department of physical education.
TWO CLASSES OF MEMBERS
There are to be two classes of membership in the fraternity: The regular members and the junior members. Of course the junior members will not have no little honor in being a junior member. Then the junior members may make the regular fraternity by a little extra work in each event so in either case they may eventually place in the organization. The requirements for the two classes differ very little but this little difference in each event makes a lot of different points which an additional point which will keep the membership down is the fact that all the stunts have to be done in one day.
In looking over the requirements for membership the average student is amazed at the low requirements for junior membership. He is possessed with an idea that he can go out to the field and do every one of the stunts without any trouble. But that's all in his mind. By the time he runs through the hurdles, the high jump pole vault and ends up with a ten mile walk he will be convinced that he has been doing considerable work. But then he is only going good for the gymnasium stunts are yet to be pulled off.
The spectators will have their fun during the tryouts—more so than will the contestants. Of course, there will be no competition. The contestants will care little about what their opponents are doing for last place counts as much as first so long as it is within the time limit for the event. But the real fun will come when the players get to pole vaulting; Leland Fisher tries the shot; Grutzmacher tries to high jump. And speaking of comedy, how about Dick Small high jumping or running two miles?
But let no one think that the frat is to be limited to track men. Kicking the football is necessary, so is kicking the gridron heroes and diamond sharks will have a nice time running some of the faster or longer races and some of the tracksters will furnish a lot of them. Lindsey on the football stunt.
We'll be Sublime.
The "K" must have the advantage—slightly. A university letter may be substituted for any one of the requirements except the tumbling. But only one letter may be substituted although a member may possess a half dozen sweaters. This will not help things much exertion in the high jump or Dan Lindsay in the two mile run.
Just how the athletes themselves feel about their chances to make the "boat" cannot be definitely learned, but they can help by willing to give it a trial but whether
they would appear in the line-up at the time for the tryout is a different question. In this respect they are like the average boarding club or fraternity man. They believe in talking and no athlete seems to be quite as good in another man's mind as he is in his own.
But there are a number of men in the University that will have fine chances to make the team. One esse places the probable number of junior women twenty while others think that it is foolish any case that will be a good start and if it once gets started the interest in the organization will keep growing. And it is sure to get started if we practice in tumbling and other things at least ten students should be able to pass the senior membership test.
Treweeke is good in all departments except tumbling and he expects to overcome that with a little practice. Dick is a jumper known throughout the middle west; he is a hurdler of ability; a swimmer; a fair distance man; and when it comes to pole vaulting—well, he is right there. He even broke the pole a couple of blocks ago while trying to do nine feet. He is also an all around athlete as are the other mentioned in the list. But the list is in no sense complete and some of the University dark horses will have a fine chance to show their skill when the tryout is announced.
TREWEKE LOCKY CANDIDATE
One of the most enthusiastic workers for the frat and the most manly for to make it is Dick Treweke.
Home Herrritt is another man close in line. Fred Campbell, now attending the medical school in Rosedale, is anxious to get back to the tryouts.
Grady, Reber, O'Leary and a number of other track men would work for the honorary fraternity.
The feat will have the support of the coaches and physical directors. Every man connected with the athlete department is interested in the organization, and places such an organization would have in his athletic life of the institution.
