SAYS "LET CHILDREN DREAM"
Dean Thompson Believes Their Imaginations Will Result in Brain Power if Given a Chance
Children should be given more time to dream and to use their imaginations. They should also be trained from the start into taking a sounder, and more comprehending attitude to their dreams and the matter of disciplined thought.
These two ideas were the principle features of a lecture delivered yesterday by Prof. Frank E. Thompson, of the University of Colorado to about fifty students of education fifty students of education. Professor Thompson is dean of the College of Education in the University of Colorado and a member of the Committee on Economy of Time in Education. His words were especially forceful on the points which he discussed.
Dreams Mold Character
"Out of the dreams of the child's heart," said Professor Thompson, "out of the thoughts of youth, comes the character of the man. How often has the dreamer and the dullard becomes the thinker and the doer in the activities of life! He dreamed him before he was created by his dreams. Let us, as educators, arrive to increase the student's resources, his hopes and plans for life.
"To marvel, to idealize, to dream along the lines of life, is the function of education. The chief requisite for thought is an emancipated brain. Quiet and rest are necessary to furnish an opportunity for thinking. These the child does not have at home or in school.
"A more appropriate mental attitude toward the school and its work is imperative if our educational institutions are to do their best. Instead of 'killing' an examination, we should use them as a test of our ability. Instead of making the social and athletic activities of college life the majors, let us stress the curriculum.
Importance of Forgetting
"The col'ge should be a place where one can try one's wings before taking up the stern realities of life. if it is not such a place, it is failing n its main business.
"We have gone crazy over knowledge and forgotten activities. We have attempted to emphasize memory and forgotten the value of records. It is often times more im-pleasant to forget than to remember. When we are in a memory portion of a study to a minimum can stress activity and as a result the student of physics will not merely know a certain amount of his subject
but, better still, he will be a physicist. The student of history will not know so many dates, but he will be able to interpret human conduct and its effects by his study of the past."
CHILD WELFARE CAMPAIGN
A new child welfare campaign will be conducted by Prof. A. McKeever in several Kansas cities along the Missouri Pacific, next week. Just what towns he will visit, Professor McKeever has not yet decided, since new calls for his work are constantly coming in. Professor McKeever recently sent a list of contests among third class cities started out well. Stafford, Syracuse and Florence, where Professor McKeever formerly conducted a campaign, have entered the contest and other cities are expected to enter the movement. Professor McKeever has visited the State Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Association at Dallas.
NEED NEW UTILITY LAW
SAYS PROF. G. U. SHAAD
"The present Utility Law for Kansas is inefficient from the standpoint of its bearing upon the proper regulation of electrical utilities," said Prof. George U. Shaad before the meeting on Monday and Street Railway Association last Friday afternoon. The meeting was the annual affair of the association and was held the last three days of last week. Professor Shaad first took up the history of the law and the commission from the time it was established, the time, and then dealt mostly with the results of the Kansas Law.
CALL PROFS. TO TALK
He pointed out nine specific cases where the law failed and later showed how to remedy these, he also pointed out the evils of the short term office. The Utilities Law is a law passed out by the state and bides for a State Public Utilities Commission composed of three members and a secretary. This commission has the right to inspect the books of all business organizations, in the state and to legislate against the laws of various kinds are heard between companies, such as tephone, telegraph, gas, electric light and railroads. The commission settles all these complaints without cost to the individual. The members of the commission receive a salary of $4,000 a month, a secretary $2,000, which is no sufficient in the opinion of Professor Shaad.
Many Communities in All Parts of Kansas Ask for University Speakers
Dean P. F. Walker read a paper on Thursday afternoon before the same meeting on, "Standards in the Utility Plants Bloater Room." His paper dealt with the success of the large manufacturing plants, and the cause of the failure is management of their boiler room. He pointed out cases where the small manufacturer must use the same methods if he intends to grow big.

Ninety professors of the University will give lectures to people in more than thirty communities of Kansas during the coming year. During the past two years, calls for professors who are frequent that a regular list has been made out and those who have promised to speak at city lecture courses, before clubs and societies and at state conventions of all kinds have been listed. From this list, towns of the university have been picking speakers this year.
In many districts, three or four cities have worked together on duties and secured the same man for all the duties. In some cases, they have during the expenses of each club or society by the difference in car fare. The subjects of general interest which are most insistently called for are: arity, Equality, Educational Movement Leadership and Reform, High Prices and Present Day Standards of Living, William Tell and Tell Country, The Man of Gallerie, Ancient and Modern Warfare, The Social City, The Warfare, The Education and The Education of Our Rulers.
The following towns will bear from one to six University lecturers during the coming winter: Atchison, Leavenworth, Morrill, Holton, Oakland, Toledo, Plymouth, Springfield, Ripley, Ramion, Ft.

"Nap" is With Vanderbilt
John Baldwin, a sophomore in the College last year, is playing some sensational football this year at Vanderbilt University, Nashville. Tenn. In regard to his playing a Nashville paper says: "Nap" Baldwin, the Kansas boy, showed up well in practice the pase week and for the first time appeared in Saturday's line-up at end. On the whole, Baldwin played a hard game; got down under punts and broke up the heavy interference in a clever manner. He picked three forward passes out of the air for a total gain of 47 yards, besides blocking a punt and placement. Late in the third quarter Baldwin received an injury while catching a pass that caused his removal."
An amusing incident occurred Saturday afternoon at 1135 Tenn. St., when a young lady who answered the telephone was informed by the Police department that a complaint had been lodged by neighbors that too much noise was going on at that address, and that she was taken away from further disturbance? Not until several hours later did the somewhat frightened disturbers learn that some of their friends next door had played a joke upon them.

Orchestra to Give Holiday Concert "A big holiday concert will be given by the orchestra unless present plans are changed," said Director J. C. McCanes to a Kansan reporter this morning. The whole program has yet been arranged but selections from comic sketches probably be given. Mr. McCanes has a number of appropriate selections for this musical entertainment.
"The orchestra of thirty-five members is an exceptionally good one" continued the director, "but there is still need for one cello and one oboe."
