A NEW BIBLE COLLEGE'
Convention of Christian Church May Decide on Such Institution
Whether a Christian Bible College is to be founded in Lawrence to succeed the old Christian Bible Chair at the University will be decided here next week at the First Christian church.
This question has been brought up before previous conventions, but no definite action was taken. However, it is now believed among the solons of the church that the time for action has arrived, and, in conversation with a Kansas reporter this morning, Dr. Braden of the University Bible Chair said, "We do not, of course, know what the outcome of the convention will be, but the prospects at this time are favorable."
Monday morning, delegates from Kansas Christian churches will meet in convention, and one of their duties will to be sanction or reject the proposition of locating a real Bible School in Lawrence.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 29, 1915.
INDIAN CONFERENCE OPENS
red Men Gather To Discuss Problems Confronting "First Americans"—Meet On Hill.
Sorrows and trials of the past don't worry the modern red man much, it would seem from the trend of speeches by educated Indians at the first session of the fifth annual conference of the Society of American Indians, at Fraternal Aid Hall last night. Every speaker talked of the brilliant future in store for his race and passed over the dark phase of it's history. Optimism, tempered with a full sense of the responsibility of the work to be done, was unmistakably the keynote of the session. Chancellor Frank Strong of the University presided as chairman.
The opening address was made by President Charles Starkweather of the Merchants and Farmers Association, of Lawrence, and the keys to the city turned over to the visiting Indians. Mr. Starkweather said that Lawrence was more than glad to welcome these civilized "first Americans" and praised the city as an educational center. He introduced Chancellor Strong, who assumed charge of the meeting as its chairman.
"The University of Kansas is honored in having been selected as the place where the deliberations of the convention will be held," the Chancellor declared, "and its authorities are more than glad to do all in their power to make every session a success.
Other talks were made by Superintendent Wise, of Haskell Institute, President Coolidge, a minister and head of the Society of American Indians, Secretary Arthur Parker, of the society, the Reverend Rerd Clock, a Yale graduate and chairman of the advisory board of the Yale School of Blood Indian, a graduate of a college at Richmond, Indiana, and for the past twelve years a teacher among the Ute Indians of Utah, the Reverend Father Gordon, priest at Haskell Institute and Mayor Francisco, of Lawrence.
Each speaker pointed out his idea of how the work should be done and emphasized the fact that the young men and women from the Indian schools, such as Haskell Institute, should bear the burden of teaching the ideals of the society and do all in their power to make them realities.
Should Read Newspaper
Music was furnished by the Haskell band. The future meetings will be held in Marvin Hall and are open to the general public.
Manhattan, Kans., Sept 28—"No man can be a good citizen unless he reads the newspaper of his community," said Dr. John R. Macarthur, associate professor of the English language in an address before the students of the Kansas State Agricultural College.
Doctor Macarthur pointed out that the old method of disseminating news by word of mouth had largely passed, even in small towns, and that the newspaper was now essential to an understanding of local as well as national problems.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Blessings on thee, dear old Dad,
Finest one we ever had;
With the little check book blue,
Paying for the things we do.
With the tiny purse thinner still
From the weight of Knowledge Hill;
From our heart we bless thee, Dad,
And our need of thee is sad.

"Hungry" Howland, who won some distinction last spring as a Varsity track artist, explains that his inability to keep awake during his afternoon classes is due to the fact that he worked the past summer on the night shift of a threshing outfit and became so used to sleeping during the daytime that it is now impossible for him to break himself of the habit.

BUNKER AT MUSEUM HAS
BIRDS FOR KANSAS SCHOOLS
Mr. C. D. Bunker, curator of the Museum, is uncertain about repeating his display of birds at the Douglas River because of the unsettled plans of the fair.
Our exhibit consists only of cases of the common birds of Kansas. These cases are sent out from the Museum to the schools of the state through the Department. They have proved to be quite an attraction,” said Mr. Bunker.
The cases, filled with birds classified according to the time they arrive in the spring, were formed into a wall display with the whole surmounted by a bald eagle. The display consisted of such birds as the rainbow bird, yellow penguin, thrushes, and cowbird. It is believed this display will encourage the protection of birds and the interest in this form of education.
