PROF. BAUMGARTNER TO TEACH AT PUGET SOUND
Intends to Take Party for Sixth Consecutive Summer at Washington Station
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, of the department of zoology, has been asked to teach for the sixth consecutive summer in the University of Washington, where the party will gather in Kansas City, June 11, and will go by special car over the Canadian Rockies on a sightseeing trip and then spend six weeks studying animals and plants at an ocean seaside station in Puget Sound.
"Students will gather at this station from many of the middle western and north-western states," said Professor Haumann Lauper, a professor and flora of that varied shore. A group of high school teachers and students will go from Kansas City both to prepare for better teacher training take courses in botany and zoology.
Professor Baumgartner will teach a course in embryology of the invertebrates and direct the work of some advanced students. Several of last year's attendants are planning to return to continue their investigations.
Last year a constitution was worked out by a committee of which Professor Baumgartner was chairman, so as to give the affiliated universities a voice in the control of the Marine School. The committee will inaugurate the new plans this summer.
"Many of the teachers going out to this school will visit the seacoast for the first time," continued Professor Baugartner. "They will see the animals alive, in their natural haunts, and so will get a much better idea of them. For their work by becoming intimately acquainted with the living plants and animals. Many of these teachers will bring back illustrative material for use in their schools."
The different departments in the School of Engineering are arranging to bind and arrange in a systematic order all engineering pamphlets that are hereafter received by each department. The bulletins will be alphabetically arranged and filed in the Engineering Library in Marvin Hall.
The past visits of Professor Baumgartner to the Station have brought many thousands of specimens to the University of Kansas for the use of the classes in zoology. The department of zoology here furnishes more material to the students in its elementary courses for a fee of two dollars than other interests; the department furnishes the material for five dollars. About twenty high schools and colleges of the state get their material annually at a very low cost, because of these trips. The material brought to the laboratories is worth many thousands of dollars.

LAWRENCE WATER
HURTS UNIVERSITY
Present System Injures Growth of School and
Town
The present state of the water situation in the town of Lawrence continues to awaken unfavorable criticism among men prominent in the town and the University, Mr C. H. Talbot, secretary of the Kansas Municipal League, had the following to save on the subject:
"I hope the municipal waterworks bonds will carry at the coming city election. The voting of the bonds will place the city in a position in which it can go ahead and settle the water question satisfactorily to the people.
"The present water situation is one of the greatest drawbacks to the growth and development of the city and the University, and there is no reason to expect the matter will ever be rightly and permanently settled. A public water service is established in Lawrence, operated for the service of the citizens instead for or dividends for stock and bondholders.
"A pure and adequate supply of water is a necessity. The pending bond issue affords the supply of water, which in evidence to get good water and a sufficient supply of it."
