TAKE GYM OR WITHDRAW
Culprits Flock to Gym Since Dean's Ultimatum
Dean Templin dixit. All discussion regarding the good one receives from turning somaterans under compulsory training; haggards are in doing肌肉gymnasium.
The last issue of notes from the Dean's office bore the information that a faculty regulation compelled the withdrawal from the University of all students enrolled in, but not taking, gymnasium. Regardless of vows and boasts to the contrary the guilty students began a scramble for the necessary draperies. The old and maimed, the young and strong have reported their classes with start-up alertness. In reply to their many instructors H. A. Lorenz tells them to save their breath for the work out.

The tendency toward growing wings and leaving without notice, recently developed by the directory in the Kansan office, has been overcome at last. Stout cord, passed through holes in the two new directories prevent them from straying very far away from the fold. (Ed. note: Since this was written the cord has been cut.)

Students Don't Organize Their Time and Energy, They Maintain
The statement that students are kept too busy at K. U. is entirely wrong, according to several of the reports in P. O. Kumar said in regard to this question;
"Some students try to do too much and others try to do too little. The students of the University of Kansas do not, on an average, work too hard. They do not study as much as they need. However, their failure to organize their time and energy is the greatest defect. Each one should carry about with him a schedule of choices from the least valuable to the most valuable things to be done, and having enough time to study to range his time and energy to accomplish these. This will help him to banish loafing, of which there is a considerable amount in the University. A student should neglect many things that are worth doing, because there are other things more worth learning, which should receive his attention."
Prof. Carl Becker agrees in the main with Dean Blackmar.
"The student is not too busy," he said, "if he keeps the proper balance between his activities and his studies. The student needs this practice of choosing to get along in the business world. He should know his responsibility during his college life, as his time spent in the University is merely life in miniature. If we fail in the proper selection here, we will probably fail in the business world. The student would become narrow if he were given less to do. In a university of this size it is natural to have so many organizations and people to teach the student to plan and balance his work so he can get the most out of his education along the line he wishes it."
K. U. GRAD APPOINTED ORGANIST OF ST.
Karl Krueger, graduate student,
has been chosen from 500 other
contestants and appointed as organist
and choirmaster in St. Ann's Episcopal church, one of the largest in
New York City.
Ed Todd, 18 College, the newly elected president of the University Y. M. C. A., returned from a meeting of state college Y. M. C. A. presidents at Topela Sunday night. The meeting was called for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Ms. Wodel, college secretary, Hugo Wodel, local secretary gave a talk before the convention on, "Y. M. C. A. Efficiency and the Management of a Cabinet."
Mr. Krueger completed a year's graduate work last year and received the degree of Master of Arts in Music from the College of Position as organist in St. Luke's church at ConventAvenue and 141st street, New York. During the three weeks he was there he declined offers to attend church instruction elsewhere in the city.
F. H. Newell in his lecture to the engineers last Saturday was telling of the muddiness of the water in the Colorado river. He said that the method used to determine whether or not it was too muddy to drink was as follows: take a pailful of the water; invert the bucket so as to drop the water on the ground. If the water on the ground is too muddy of its own accord, it is too muddy to drink. If, however, it is liquid mug to run, it is drinkable. Several of the audience made mental speculations on what the result of his experiment would be if performed on the Lawrence city water.

WANT MORE TEACHERS
1916 Demand Above Normal Says Prof. W. H. Johnson
The demand for teachers this year is a little above normal, according to Prof. W. H. Johnson of the School of Education. Selection and appointments are beginning earlier this year at the Teachers' Association, which meets at the University on March 17 and 18, many students will be chosen to fill positions next year. Oread Training School will be one of the great ales in this business may see the practice teachers carrying on their classes.
"Teaching is growing to be more of a profession every year, and superintendents are becoming more exacting as to the training, personality and fitness of appraisal. Students who intend to enter this profession should have a strong major and an equally strong minor subject."
The University does not provide all the teachers for the state but it does furnish a large percentage. The State Agricultural College and the three normal schools, at Emporia Pittsburgh, and Hays, all do their work in the normal schools, however, provide only elementary teachers.
Personality, however, is coming to be the most important asset for teachers. They are to be the leaders in all phases of school life; in social matters, organizations, and all student activities. Teachers are called upon for every opportunity must be prepared to enter into the interests, not only of their students, but into the life of the community as well.
Very few students who go out from the University, and especially those with degrees, fail to get places. If all are not provided for at the beginning of their studies, they will school is in progress. Last year 131 received certificates and of these, 106 secured positions. The rest did not care to teach immediately, wanted to do graduate work, or accepted fellowships. Alloretz, 150 teachers have been placed by the university during the past twelve months.
Of all the teachers sent out, only one accepted less than $70 a month. The average salary is $684 a year or more and superintendents $929 a year.

CONFERENCE A SUCCESS
Many Seniors Met Superinten dents Seeking School Teachers
The thirteenth annual conference of Kansas high school teachers and superintendents, which was held at the University was an unusual success. The attendance in charge. The attendance was much larger than that of previous years. The speakers were well represented, the state had made careful preparation.
"The number of calls made by the superintendents for teachers next year surpassed all records," said Prof. W. H. Johnson. "I was kept busy the entire two days introducing seniors to men who were on the look-out ahead of time for prospective teachers."
A new phase of the conference was the typewriting contest. Eighteen students took part in it. The contestants were divided into two classes. In Class 1 the persons placed in the order mentioned, Thelma Nelly, Argentine; Alva Gilbert, Pittsburgh, and Hattie Cox. The second first year students, was won by Ethel Ruff, of Arkansas City; second place, by Bessie Lyon, of El Dorado; and third by Ruth Drake, of Argentine.
A meeting was called for the superintendents and principals Friday afternoon, and a plan was evolved for the continuous survey of the city schools of Kansas. This is to be done under the direction of the bureau of school service of the educational department of the University.
The plan is to be worked out by a committee of superintendents with Dean Kelly at the head. An outline will be made out for the guidance of the staff, and an outline in the state in examining their own school systems. The bureau of service will thus become a clearing house through which these results will go to the board. At the maximum of advantage will come to each city in the work it does.
TO EXTEND SHORT COURSE
Engineers Enthusiastic Over Plans for Next Session
"Plans for a bigger short course for city engineers next year are already being made," said Prof. H. A. Rice, who is running the neering in regard to the meetings just finished last Friday, "and with an earlier date set for the meetings we will make plans for over a hundred engineers and other public works offices."
"Every man who attended the meetings last week was enthusiastic about joining in. We have a series of meetings be held next year at an earlier date. Every man who was here this time promised to be back and give his best for his city engineer friends with him.
"Considering the fact that there were only a few over thirty engineers here the meetings this year were highly successful. We had some fine speakers for the morning sessions, but most of them were of mutual interest to those who had brought materials to be tested or plans, to be approved. Practically every man had brought some particular problem that had confronted him in his own community, and for the most part these were solved by the institute's personnel, the department, or the cooperation of the other visiting city engineers."
While Professor Rice was not able to state any definite plans or date for the meetings next year, it has been definitely decided according to the sentiment of the department that the meetings will be held at other Public Works Officials will be repeated next year at an earlier date than the one held this year.

VISIT HEALTH SCHOOL
Illinois to Send Experts to Inspect K. U. Institute in April
Dean S. J. Crumbine, of the School of Medicine, received word yesterday from the University of Illinois that they sent their senatives to the next meeting of the School for Health Officers and Physicians that will be held jointly by the University and the Kansas State University during the last two weeks in April.
Although the school for health officers and physicians is unique in that the one held here is the only one of the so-called helium in the United States at the time, coming to study the methods used with the idea of introducing similar schools in their own universities. The men who are coming from Illinois are the engineer and the state epidemiologist, who are to prevent the spread of epidemics.
At the last session of the School for Physicians there were eighty health officers and physicians present. This year there will be at least as many as 100 health officers and attendance of one hundred. City and county health officers are trained in the specialities of their offices and a graduate course of two weeks is required to attend from their duties for a longer period than that. The first week of the meeting is held here under the medical staff at the museum on the fundamental sciences in medicine; the second week is made up of clinics in Rosedale.
The recognition of the work of this school is an appreciation of the work of Dean Crumbine by the University of Illinois which is in itself one of the most progressive universities of this country.
