UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MERCHANTS' WEEK ENDS
Successful Week's Work Draws To a Close With 500 In Attendance
MR. HAMILTON IS PLEASED
Extension Director Says Work Has Fulfilled Hopes
"I am satisfied with the results of the merchants' short course this year, and from all reports I have heard the merchants themselves are equally so," said Abe of the division, who has had charge of the various meetings.
"The actual enrollment has exceeded that of last year by almost 150, the speakers have been better, we have had a greater diversity of courses, and the course lasted a week this year, stead of three weeks." The course is most noticeable which points to the success of the course is the large number of merchants who have spent the entire week attending the classes and lectures.
"an innovation this year that has proved one of the biggest assets to the course is the series of noon luncheons that has been handled by the ladies of the Christian church in Myers Hall. The ladies chairmen have given advice and the proximity of the dining hall gave the merchants plenty of time at noon to have impromptu meetings at the dinner table. Some of the best speeches were given here and profitable ideas not upon upon in the space, but brought to light by the little talks after lunchcase in Myers Hall.
Another feature that was universally enjoyed was the daily picture show in Fraser Hall. The pictures of the various industries over the country were both interesting and instructive, and many fashionable pieces were heard on the merchants. Pictures shown of the processes of making shoes, carpets, silverware, ladies suits, and of canning fruits and the handling of meats.
MUSIC PLEASED
"The merchants were highly pleased with the musical and dramatic numbers given by the students and professors of the University. The various musical organizations represented and we had a good time with them, and they made it bick with the visitors.
"I would place the actual attendance of the course considerably above the five hundred mark, for a great many attended the meetings who did not register at my office. I would like to have the registration of the assistant who attended a single class so as to keep him informed as to future developments."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 11, 1916
NUMBER 92
Mr. Hamilton said that probably the most of the speeches would be printed and available for distribution, but that the magnitude of the course this year—some times as many as three meetings going on each week—would make short hand sketches of all the proceedings prohibitive. The more important speeces were turned in in manuscript form, however, and probably a number of these will be printed. A number of grocers have circulated asking silk-screened copies of their speech Factors in the High Cost of Living" be put into circular form together with reproductions of the charts used in explaining the lecture.
CARDWRITING INTERESTED MANY
About fifty per cent of the visiting merchants have been placed in rooms by the registration office. The available rooms that were reported by Mr. Hamilton before the beginning of the week were in great demand, especially those nearest the University. A number of the fraternity houses opened their doors and visited merchants with a large number were handled in this way. A large number of the rest stayed with "the kid" who is going to school here.
The course in cardwriting has been probably the most consistently popular of all the regular courses offered, Mr. F. G. Weeks, of Joplin, Missouri, who is superintending the work, reports that he has had a class of thirty-six who have reported religion every day of four weeks for two hours or more, which almost twice as many others have been more or less regular students. Many of the merchants have shown real progress in the week's work.
LEARNED ABOUT WINDOW TRIMMING
The daily courses in window trimming have been good drawing cards. One merchant from many miles away was heard to remark that one single lesson in window trimming yesterday afternoon was worth all of his expenses for the week, not taking into consideration the other benefits of the course.
The window trimming demonstrations have been held every afternoon at 3:30 in the basement of Green Kall.
The courses in elementary and advanced accounting have drawn their proportionate number, many mechanics taking advantage of their books on their books on a system of definite accounting. Mr.H.C. Ingham and Mr.A.T. Hodge of
the university have been conducting these courses.
Mr. Otto Buehrmann, who made a series of six speeches the first of the week, proved one of the best speakers on the program. His subjects, which centered about store management and salesman messages to the merchant, and every illustration was made applicable to the small town merchant.
The lectures of Paul H. Nystrom, the head of a large Auto Supply Co., of New York City, ended the week's business with a win a place in the business thoughts of the Kansas merchants last year when he made a number of addresses at the short course, and his lectures the year before, that focused on better presenting than before. Mr. Nystrom is an aggressive and impressive speaker, and this, coupled with the ideas he has to give to the small merchants in their own language, has made him a major every audience before which Mr. Nystrom speaks.
The merchant alone has not been the only one to take advantage of the speakers here for the short course. There are merchants, clerks, lawyers, doctors, real estate agents, teachers and students enrolling in schools in Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas, Idaho, and New Mexico.

THE TORCH ANNOUNCES KANSAS LOST ANOTHER
The members of The Torch, the senior woman secret honor society, for the past year, were announced to the University public this morning at the concoction by Dean J. W. Green, of the School of Law.
The members for the past year have been: Alice Coors, Las Vegas, N. M.; Luela Cory, Lansing; Florence Hale, Lawrence; Vanetta Hosford, Lawrence; Josephine Jaqun, St. Francis Nellie Kennedy, Hutchison; Naomi Simpson, Topcka and Stella Simmons, Lawrence.
These nine women were elected a year ago by the members preceding them and were chosen because of their leadership. These nine women class scholarship alone. The Torch is secret society because the members feel that a great deal more good can be accomplished by a hidden organization than members are known to the public.
The women announced this morning have since their election last year, been connected with practically all of the students at K. U. The have been boasters of the Big Sister movement and leaders in the W. Y. C. A. and W. S. G. Also there were members of the members in class activities, dramatics and all student movements.

Students Can Use New Entrance to Campus Next Year
WILL GO ON SIDEWALK
After a struggle covering six years, the University is to have a south approach, and the residents of the University Place Addition are to have a new way to the street. The new street was started by the board of regents, when William Allen White was a member of that board. Mr. White at one time made a personal effort to get the road through. Later an effort was made by the present Governor of Control, but without results.
Through the generosity of S. W. Gowans who gives the land to the city for the new road, and the unceasing efforts of E. O. Sherwood, organizer of the South Side Improvement League, this much needed and long sought improvement becomes a reality.
The land belonging to Mr. Gowans lies between the University Campus and the southwest addition to the city. Students who room in this part of town must either use a footpath which crosses this strip and land it, or choose to use the private driveway of Mr. J. B. Watkins and then go down Indiana street to their rooms. At certain times of the year these paths are almost impassable. Mr. Sherwood was appointed as a delegate to see if something could be done with the reward for his efforts an offer by Mr. Gowans to give sufficient land to make the proposed roadway.
The Sachems, the senior honorary society for men, initiated the following men into their organization last night at the Alpha Tau house: Dick Burton, Frank Baldwin, Andy Groff, Leland Thompson and Claude Wandel, Oss LeKing, who recently lost his Kung Fu training, had been taken in at a previous time and was to have been initiated with these new members.
All these men are identified with University interests, this being a requisite for membership in the Sachems, whose work promotes a spirit of fellowship and a close acquaintancehip among all the men of the University.
The grant of land brings the proposed boulevard that is to encircle the Hill one step nearer realization. When this boulevard is completed it will one more beauty apet to Lawrence and the University to boast of.
The road, according to contract, is to be continued from Indiana Street west on the present traveled county road to a point near the street railway, hence upon the University Ground, as they may decide.
SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY
INITIATES NEW MEMBERS
John M. Shea said this morning that the University could do nothing with the road, however, until after the hurricane. For such purposes has been exhausted.

Tigers Outplayed Hamilton's Five and Won Second Game 12 to 20
Columbia, Mo., Feb. 10–Kansas dropped the second and last game of the series tonight by the decisive score of 42 to 20. The game was Missouri all the way in spite of the close score in the first game. The Kansans were completely out played and out guessed by the Tigers.
Missouri got the start on Hamilton's men in the early part of the game and when the first half ended Kansas had only scored one field goal. Meanwhile the Tigers had run up a score of twenty-five. This ended the half 25 to 5. The Tiger forward made it to the basket at almost will and a change of Jayhawker quards failed to stop the on-rush.
Kansas came back in the second half with a spurt but the sprint was a short one. After eight points had been drawn, a good some good work and the Hawkers' onrush was stopped. From that time on the Tigers again had their own way in the scoring. In the last part of the game Missouri used an entirely new team.
Kansas left immediately after the game for St. Louis where they will start a two game series with the Boston University five tomorrow night.
Williams was again the star of the Missourians and led his team in the scoring while on the Kansas side Kauder got the most field goals.

EDUCATION THE BASE
15 Foundation of Superstructure of Success, Says Governor Major
NEEDS MEN WHO KNOW
World Continually Seeks Them
—Few Men Are Masters
Education, honesty, ambition, courage and proficiency in some one line were the cardinal principles of success mentioned by Governor E. Joseph Benton in his address to the University public this morning on "Essentials of Success."
"Education is the foundation of the superstructure of success," said Governor Major, "and no state or nation can ever hope to rise above the education and development of the individual. The world is continually seeking the educated man to be a leader, a protector of honesty. His honesty must be of an aggressive nature, on which his associates can depend."
The governor, in speaking of ambition, likened a trained honest man, lacking in ambition, to a great engine standing idle for lack of motive power. "Motive power in the shape of initiative made Mr. Obama more necessary to success. Without it we are as useless as the idle engine."
That courage to dare to attempt big things all through life are essential was emphasized in the address.
FREE ARE MASTERS
"The world is full of men of medicine capability in industry and lines but there are few men who are masters," continued the governor, "Be an artist in your line. If you are a window trimmer be the best in town and your success will take care of itself. Whatever you attempt, excel in that thing. Choose your line, hang your star high, stick to your goals, be a governor. Governor Major is the first governor of Missouri that has ever addressed the Jayhawker public. He is a native born Missouri and a product of the "log cabin" period in native born governor of that state. The Missouri has his talent being strongly talked of by the Democratic party as candidate for vice-president in the next election. He has served as state senator of Missouri and preceding his election as chief executive he was attorney-general. It was while in this capacity the he won recompense by successfully prosecuting the illegal corporations and trusts.

"We wish that everyone who would like to take part in the Minuet would put in an appearance at the next prac- tition," Hunter, floor manager for the Colonial Party. "The only expense in connection with this part of the program will be the cost of the costume." This expense as light as possible."
