THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
VOLUME V.
TELLS OF CAMP LIFE
Paul Brindel Back From Nevada Tells of Camp Clark Experiences
NUMBER 9
RESUMES SUMMER WORK
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1916.
"Many of the national guardsmen," said Mr. Brindel yesterday, were far from being anxious to go to the front and did everything possible to get themselves rejected, even going to the extent of faking poor eye sight and defective hearing. I was a member of the ambulance corps and assisted in the examination work; and I saw many instances of this kind. Faking was especially common in some of the companies from the mining district of southern Missouri where many men left jobs paying fifty dollars a week to answer the call to the colors. One man was absolutely deaf in both ears until one of the officers remarked about not drinking all of "that beer," and the fellow turned around to see what was going on. Of course he was passed, and afterward all suspected of slacking were passed unless their commanding officer could vouch their veracity.
Kansan Editor Rejected Because of Poor Eye Sight
The inside workings of the mobilization camp of the National Guard of Missouri at Newada were vividly described yesterday by Paul Brindel, a member of the Kansan Board, who spent ten days there as a member of Ambulance Company Number 1 of Kansas City. Brindel returned to Lawrence this morning to resume his Summer Session work. He is one of the company who were rejected by the United States army officers because of physical disability. His sight was defective.
MANY DESIRED REJECTION
"During the first few days of the federal physical examinations, I acted as a clerk in the sinection tent but the last three days of my stay at Camp Clark I assisted in the typhoid vaccine inoculation. One day I "took" the temperatures of over six hundred recruits, and the last two days even assisted in administering the vaccine itself.
"Many of the slackers who were rejected were so jubilant over the disqualification that they forgot all about their alleged physical defects when they returned to their company, and by keeping a careful watch many officers were able to weed out the fakers.
"Army camp life isn't nearly as bad as pictured even if one has to get up at five o'clock every morning. Although we troops always had plenty to eat, and the last Sunday in camp the ambulance corps, being a detached company, was given a stewed chicken dinner by its commissioned officers. The rest of the time however the diet consisted mostly of prunes, bread, potatoes, coffee, rice, boiled beef, bacon, beans and bread pudding.
FOOD PRICES SOARED
"Food prices in Nevada soared but little because of the presence of the soldiers, and as the round trip fare on the hourly shuttle trains was only fifteen cents, several thousand guardmen went to the town every night to satisfy their appetites. A provost guard from the infantry companies was detailed each night to maintain order in the down town streets, but so orderly were the guardmen that only one arrest was recorded during the entire two weeks. Liquor was not to be had; Nevada being a dry town, and a strict prohibition law being in force at Camp Clark. The lack of alcohol resulted fatally for two "floaters" who, lacking their usual stimulus could not stand the excessive heat and drill, and suffered fatal heat prostrations.
"As all of the Missouri National Guardmen were mustered into the United States army before given their federal physical examination, all of the guard men were given honorable discharges from the United States army.
"All of them who served over a week, will be entitled to a pension along with the other troops who serve in Mexico, according to army officers."
A fair coed walked into a class room one morning recently and upon opening her note book found a large moth ball. She blushed, closed the note book quickly, and looked up to see if any one was looking. Then she laughed and went about her work but she was careful not to open the note book any offender than was necessary.
LEFTY SPROLL OPERATED
ON FOR APENDICITVS
ON FOR APPENDICITIS
An attack of appendicitis caused Ralph D. (Lefty) Sproull to undergo an operation Wednesday morning. Sproull had had several attacks recently, and on the advice of physician Dr. Duncan, he instruction while in good physical condition.
During the last year Lefty has been assistant of Coach Hamilton. He is enrolled in summer school and had intended playing professional baseball on the Pacific coast as soon as Summer Session was out.
FORUM IS UNDER WAY
Teachers Discussed Methods and School Organization— Elects Officers
The School Men's Forum, for the exchange of ideas in school supervision, was organized and set to work last Friday evening at Blake Hall. Officers were elected and every Friday evening at four o'clock in Room 210 in Blake Hall fixed as the time and place of regular meeting.
"The best superintendent I ever knew, lost his job," said Dean Kelly, "not from any fault of his own, but because he could not get the community to back plans of forging ahead. A teacher can not succeed by giving the best he can in school work, paradoxical as it may seem.
"He can only succeed by seeing that the town accepts what he advocates in school measures," said Professor Kelly. "The question is how to educate the community, rather than how to educate the children. Superintendents deals with women teachers and children until they become unfitted to talk in men's crowds and commercial club meetings. It is not necessary that he should do the stunts of the crowd, smoke with them and imitate their language, but he must have interests outside the school—interests in the country; the questions before the commercial club and the citizens. A superintendent's limitations are not the school, the teachers, and usually not the school board, but the community."
Following Dean Kelly's discussion, there were informal talks by teachers from various quarters of Kansas and other states. The following offices were elected, with instructions to report on plans of permanent organization: president, C. D. Raich; vice-president, Prof. Ralph E. Carter; secretary-treasurer, W. N. Vanslyke; chairman program committee, J. F. Hughes; chairman social committee, L. H. Petit.
The Dean outlined a course of publicity through school and local papers, and cited the weekly school newspaper of Kansas City, Kan., as an ideal medium of carrying school news to the homes of patrons.
Miss Nora Dolby, assistant in botany at the University of Illinois, spent a few days this week with friends in Lawrence, on her way to Sterling, Kansas. Miss Dolbee is at work on her doctor's degree. She took her master's degree from K. U. in 1914.

SESSIONISTS ON PICNIC C. CHAPLIN IS EXPOSED
Forty-one Students Enjoyed Lunch on the Golf
Links
The Summer Session students threw off their cloaks of apparent enniu and had a real life picnic, as scheduled in chapel last Friday. The picnic was of the progressive type, beginning at the tennis lins奶 our Mekele Hillside for lunch and wound up with a late recreation hour on the campus.
The summer students arrayed in their most "comfy" clothes began to arrive at the tennis courts at five o'clock. Every one left his dignity at home and pinned his name in a cone of his shirt. He was getting acquainted. A few games of tennis helped the newcomer to quickly forget his timidity.
The eats arrived in a clothes basket used as a hamper about the hour of 6:30. Every one began at once to look for a camping ground. The men carried the clothes basket and the women insisted on guarding the pickles and worked off a jar of salad on a poor unsuspecting man who openly boasted that he escorted the pickles. The crowd soon found a position under a table outside the claim with umbrellas. Lunch was served immediately, and consisted of a plentiful supply of sandwiches of several different varieties, potato salad and pickles followed by strawberry brick ice cream.
Forty-one persons enjoyed the lunch after which they called on Prof. S. H. Horn for an after dinner speech. Mr. Horn answered magnanimously in the time honored custom of saying much about nothing with the customary applause. He switched the honor by introducing Prof. Grover C. Dotzour who relieved himself, by repeating what Prof. Horn had said and ordered brewing of camp and a "double brewing" of camp and the women were discredited by the failure of the entire thirteen to have a match with which to burn bridges behind them. Admitting their unwitting display of being "non users" they lustied over the hill and attacked the first chap who looked like he carried 'em.
Prof. Frank D. Tracy, of the Kansas City, Kansas, High School has been forced to discontinue his summer school work. He was called home by the illness of his wife who was seriously injured by a speeding automobile.
Kelly to Speak Sunday Evening Dean F. J. Kelly speaks to the Epworth League at the First Methodist church, Sunday evening at 6:45 o'clock on "Putting Religion into Community Service." A social hour will precede the service. Come and get acquainted.
Arriving on the campus with the loss of only three deserters the Summer Students of one accord clamored for dancing, to the taboo of such games as volleyball and basketball. The piano was brought from the gym and placed under a convenient street light. Nell Martindale took charge of the Folk Dances: Carousel, Let is Dead Blicking. These were followed by an easy polka called Dainty Steps and an old fashioned square dance.
The evening's frolic closed after singing America and giving "Rock Chalk." Every one admitted that they had forgotten to leave early in order to "take in" the picture shows as it was then 9:30 o'clock.
Now We Know Where He Got That Fifty Thousand Dollar Walk
Alas, for Charlie Chaplin, the soon to be deposed king of comedians. The former idol of child moving picture fans will no longer bring shrieks of delight from his most ardent admirers. And the small boys who have been practicing the Charlie Chaplin walk will be reduced to a state of gloom. It's bad enough to be told that your whiom idol is an imitator, but to have him accused of imiting a -penguin is enough to plunge anyone else into a frenzy. Since the posters announced that Sir Douglas Mawson's travel pictures of the Antarctic region will be shown in Fraser Chapel on July 12 and 13 all the small boys in Lawrence have been unable waiting for those days.
"Santa Claus he's just father ane mother, and Charlie Chaplin, he imitates a penguin," reflects the small on the worthlessness of life.
Who is to be called to account for this destruction of another of childhood's illusions? No less than sixty-six university graduates who, to satisfy their limitless curiosity, went on a trip to the South Pole to see what they could see. They saw one hundred thousand penguins, a queer kind of bird, all doing the Charlie Chaplin walk on an ice stage, with the aurora borealis for light and an appreciative group of seals for the audience.
As university graduates are always quick to detect and expose fraud of any kind, proof of Charlie Chaplin's famous decryption of the great American public was bought back and shown to the world in moving pictures.
James Aslop who was graduated from the School of Engineering at Manhattan and is now working in Minnesota, is visiting his sister Florence Aslop.
Wise grown-ups, long ago accustomed to the ways of base deceivers profess no surprise that Charlie Chaplin has slyly palmed off as his own, the penguin slide and glube. But the boys mourn for their fallen idol and they are yet open to proof for they say, "I'd just like for those university graduates to tell me how Charlie Chaplin ever saw the old penguins walk because the poster says, 'the pictures were taken 10,000 miles from America, in a land never seen by man,' so there."
Arthur D. Vogel has returned from Jefferson City, Mo., where he took the Missouri bar examination. He will complete his courses in Summer Session while waiting to hear the results of the examination.
Prof. John J. Wheeler of the department of mathematics left last week for the University of Chicago, where he will study this summer taking advanced work in mathematics in preparation for his doctor's degree.
Dr. Eugene Mattice of the class of '14, is visiting friends at the Phi Beta Pi house this week. He has been attending the University of Washington this year and is now an intern in the Swedish hospital at St. Louis.
All of the boys are withholding final judgment as to their former idol's conduct until they see the evidence for themselves.
To Topeka, then to Silver Lake where she enjoyed camp life was the way Dorothy Bigelow spent the Fourth.
MacMURRAY TO ENTERTAIN
AT 11:15 CHAPEL TODAY
Chapel exercises will be conducted at 11:15 today in Fraser Hall. Prof Arthur MacMurray will enter tain with some reading and Dean F J. Kelly will be in charge of the exercises.
A mass meeting will be held after chapel for a discussion of an All-University party to be held a week from today in the Gymnasium. The matter will probably be decided by a vote of those interested.
SEES SCOTTS' CLASSIC
"Lady of The Lake" Pleases Movie Fans in Fraser Channel
"The Lady of the Lake" drew a large crowd when she made her appearance in the movies at 4:45 Wc.nesday afternoon in Fraser Hall. Lock was with the operator this time there was little trouble with the film.
The pictures held the attention of everyone as Douglas, the outlaw from the lowlands of Scotland, sought shelter with the tribe of Roderick Due and as the King of Scotland disguised himself as James-Fitz-James and enters the chase. He lead the chase and finally became lost. The audience was still more interested when he blew a blast on his horn and pretty Ellen, thinking it to be her father, rowed to the main land to get him. As she liked his appearance she brought him to the Island and offered him lodging for the night. The play went on and Douglas gave himself up to the king to prevent bloodshed and Fitz-James met Ellen by chance and, charmed by her beauty 'he gave her his ring.
Then the king learned that Douglas was his prisoner and Ellen appeared before him and asked for the freedom of Douglas, presenting the ring that Fritz-James gave her. The audience relaxed with a laugh as Ellen found that Fritz-James was the king of Scotland, and he turned Douglas over to her with the king's necklace around his neck.
CUPID WORKS SECRETLY
Dan Cupid is a skilful and sure worker but he is also adept in keeping his work secret. Miss Murl Garrett of 1332 Tennessee Street paid a visit to Ft. Riley a week ago Sunday and came home announcing to a startled mother and sister that she was not Murl Garret but had been Mrs. Robert A. Young since January the seventeenth of this year.
Murl Garnet and Robert Young Married Since Last January
"We were married at Topeka and intended announcing it at the end of the semester," said Mrs. Young, "but something turned up to prevent it. We planned several times later to announce our marriage but something was always in the way. We had a hard time keeping the secret ourselves. Neither my mother nor my older sister knew of it, nor any of Robert's relatives. I kept my wedding ring sewed in a cushion. Mrs. Young expressed a sincere hope that the Mexican trouble would pass over without the boys in Company M having to go to the front.
Mr. Young is a junior in the College and a member of Company M, now stationed for instruction at Ft. Riley before receiving orders to prosecute the criminal offense in senior in the Lawrence high school and would have finished next year.
Edward Taylor, c'12, who came from the Philippine Islands, to attend the Summer Session, was initiated into the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity Monday night. Mr. Taylor is superintendent of the fish hatcheries on the islands.
Arthur D. Vogel spent Saturday in Kansas City looking for a position after the close of the sumer school.
Dean H. L. Butler of the School of Fine Arts left for his vacation Monday morning. He and his family will spend the summer at Estes Park, Col. While there they will live in Chancellor Strong's cottage.
While waiting for his grades from the Missouri state bar examination, Don Burnett is attending the Lawrence Business College for a pastime.
May Pilkington spent the Fourth at her home in Garnett. Miss Pilkington teaches in Coffey, Missouri.
PROF. MILLIS TO RESIGN
Call to University of Chicago Offers Big Salary And Opportunities
IS NOT OFFICIAL AS YET
K. U. Can't Complain—Legislature Too Stingy
The University of Kansas is likely to lose one of its strongest teachers because of the ability of other universities to pay them salaries that the legislature of the state of Kansas is not yet progressive enough to pay. Prof. Harry A. Millis of the department of economics has received a call to the University of Chicago at an increase of salary so substantial that there is little hope that he will refuse it. The new position will mean, in addition to an increased income, fewer hours of work with adequate opportunity for research, and a broad field for rapid advancement and deserved recognition. Professor Millis is teaching in the department of economics at Chicago this summer. If he continues there he will be the fifth man that the faculty of the University of Kansas has lost this year.
Dean Templin was seen yesterday, the Dean made the following statement:
"So far as we know Professor Millis has not yet decided on his course. The general feeling, however, is that he cannot do otherwise than accept; and so we anticipate loosing him with feelings of great regret. He has been here four years, and came to us from Leland Stanford. He has built up a strong department from next to nothing. He is among the foremost men in his line in the United States. If he accepts the position at Chicago he will have what we are not in a position 'o salary combined with adequate time for study.' He will also have the opportunity f participating in a million dollar gift which is to be at the disposal of the School of Commerce."
MRS MILLIS NON-COMMITTAL
HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED
Professor Mills' family did not accompany him to Chicago for his summer's work and Mrs. Mills when asked of the possibilities of his accepting said she was unable to say whether Mr. Mills would accept or not, but that it was altogether possible that he would since it offers an advancement with a future attached only to a large institution in a metropolis that very few schools could offer. She said that a number of Professor Mills' old friends are in the University of Chicago which will add greatly to the congeniality of the Mills' eyes sparkled when considered by prospects for the advancement of her home, quite forgetful of self; but whenQUA concerning again making her home in Chicago she said she was reluctant to leave Lawrence with its quiet for the city with its bustle and noise. The youngest daughter of the family, a young miss of about ten years who would be expected to be overjoyed at the prospects of living in Chicago expressed herself as quite the contrary. The family seemed to prefer Lawrence to all placed they had lived with the exception of California.
Inquiry at the Chancellor's office proved that Professor Millis has not yet officially accepted the position. The professor, will probably close the matter.
THE HAILS FROM INDIAAN
Professor Millis was reared and educated in Indiana. His academic career began with the graduated from the rural school and entered the Paii (Indiana) high school, graduating from there he taught two years in the rural schools before entering the University of Indiana. There he received his A. B. degree in 1895 and his A. M. a year later.
HE HAILS FROM INDIANA
In 1899 he received a Doctor's degree from the University of Chicago. His ambition to become a deeper student of Economics was inspired during the third year of his college training by Prof. John R. Commons now of the University of Wisconsin. A later instructor who added much to the sest of his work was Prof. Frank Fetter who then was at the head of the department, and now of Princeton University.
In 1902-03 Professor Millis was Professor of economics and sociology at the University of Arkansas. From there he accepted the position of assistant professor of economies at Leland Stanford which he held from 1903 to 1910 when he was promoted

A "CRACKERLESS" FOURTH
FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1916
It has been said by one of authority that no one now supports the old style celebration, and that the quiet Fourth has become a permanent institution never to be abandoned. Perhaps this is true. Any one who spotted the day in Lawrence will agree at once that the same observance of the Fourth has become an accepted condition here at least. In the early morning hours only an occasional "cracker," could be heard.
The only evidences of Fourth of July was one delivery of mail, and an occasional flag floating from a front porch. Not only was there no fire works but there was not even the customary rain.
In the good old days it was with pleasure that children saved their pennies and nickels to buy that big cracker or cannon. And how they counted the days until the Fourth, anticipating that day with almost as much pleasure as we did Christmas.
But what does the child of today have to look forward to? A day when the family takes their lunch up on the golf links or out to the park. To him it is a day little different from other days, so he does not ask the why of the Fourth.
We are not complaining for now on the day following the Fourth there are fewer little graves in the cemetery. Nor does the child of today have fingers shot off by fire crackers, nor have his eyes put out by an explosion. But we are glad that we lived in "other days," and experienced the fun and excitement of insane Fourths.
CHEAP AT HALF THE PRICE
A student in the School of Medicine got married six years before he expected to graduate. Quick, Carnegie, another medal.
Now that the moving pictures are being used at the University by the Extension division, the question of economy comes to our minds. Is the enterprise not too expensive to be continued at the expense of the University?
It has been shown that a film can be produced at 25 cents a yard. A forty yard film would then cost ten dollars. This film with reasonable care could be used two hundred times. If it were used ten times a year, it would last twenty years at a cost of fifty cents a year or five cents a lecture.
In view of these facts it may well be said that Thomas A. Edison is a true prophet as well as a wizard of invention judging from his statement that books will soon be obsolete in schools.
Summer students and some are not students; that's the reason we are all here.
A TIP FROM THE BIRDS
When the curtain of night is pullea aside and the sun rolls out of bed and casts his rays of light through a gray mist into your east window, did you ever drink the music of cheerfulness from the birds that warble their songs round about you? Whether the notes come from the bird that has its nest in the small and thorny bush or from the one that calls the stately oak its home, the lesson is the same.
To be joyful and to impart their fine spirit of contentment to others seems to be their chief business in life. And how they do take it! No grouching, no skimming, no hungry watching the clock for them! But head thrown back and throat ripping,
they pour out their message of cheer with zeal and heartiness and complete dedication in which there doesn't seem to be an element of selfishness or a particle of stingy reserve.
Why don't you, also, sing at your work?
There's a lot of value in the habit.
It unkinks the snarls and ruffles in your own mind and soul and it is a mighty good example to others.
One audibly happy person out on the campus is often able to infect all the others, for nothing is so contagious as an emotion. It's next to impossible to stay groused alongside a person who is singing or joking. And, unlike the one rotten apple which corrupts the basketful, the most contagious of all emotions is the emotion of happiness.
You could do this, too, by just taking a tip from the birds. To see the bright side, to impart joy instead of gloom, to be throughout a lifetime an infection center of happiness—of let song have a show. You, with all the advantages of a mind and a soul, ought to be able to beat a dumb bird if you'd really try.

PENSION THE TEACHER?
There has been much discussion concerning the necessity and advisability of pensioning teachers. Of course there are two sides to this question. The correctness of pensioning veterans of war who were willing to face shot and shell in defense of government, home, and happiness of the masses is not questioned. In the case of the teacher the same as that if the soldier?
If the state should adopt a system o, pensioning teachers, why shouldn't such a system be adopted for employees in other important activities? Is there any reason why a teacher should spend the greater part of his life in remunerative work and come down to old age in want because he has failed to save? A teacher that cannot put into practice the rules of economy, or who fails to co-operate in order to be able to ask and receive a living wage, obviously sets a poor example for those whom he may attempt to instruct.
It would seem the better part of efficiency for the great teachers' organizations of the state to direct their energies toward raising the standards of teachers' wages and compelling salaries to be paid in accordance with ability and training. Indiana has such a law. The poor shall be with us always, and a system of pensioning those who cannot save might only tend to increase that number, thereby, encouraging the evil rather than correcting it.
What would you rather do—or go fishing?
DON'T FORGET THE BOYS
Now that the boys have gone, let's not forget them. The sixty University men who went to the Mexican border yesterday will be found where duty calls for they realize the stamina that it takes to win. Line drives and line smashes will be in order and the opposing forces will be driven behind their own goal line while K. U. goes across for a touchdown and victory.
AN AGE OF WONDERS
Then, after it is over there will be Studer, Coe, Grinstead, and Spangler, back to serve up the news. As they march under the stars and stripes we shall call them our special Kansas representatives gone forth to do service for their country.
Popularity of moving pictures in the schools of Kansas marks another step in the advancement of education. In days gone by, 'the little schoolhouse' was an uninteresting place where the three 'R's and a few other things were taught in an atmosphere of rigid discipline; a place to which little feet trod with reluctance, and from which they hastened with relief. Now in the little schoolhouse, we find cooking, sewing, dancing, garden making, and movies. What would our forefathers have thought of such frivolity? Truly this is an age of wonders.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be virted as evidence of good faith but names will not be dismissed without the writer's consent.
To the Editor;
It has been said that as many as 75 per cent of the men at the University smoke; that the University has the best dancers and card players of the state. Perhaps these accusations against our Alma Mater are true—if so it is a deplorable condition, but are conditions here worse than elsewhere? I agree that such conditions do not exist at other universities in the state—the other universities are denominational institutions where such conditions are tabooed by the church which supports the denominational institution. That class of college men which we find smoking upon the campus or in the cafes—can be found in the denominational college smoking cigarettes in disreputable places.
K. U. is not a denominational school supported by a church but is a state institution supported by the state and granting such privileges as do not actually interfere with the welfare of others.
Perhaps the University does have some of the best card players and dancers in the state. Do not these towns from which the students come?
I Smoke.
THE CIGARETTE AGAIN
After reading Mr. Wycoff's article in last week's Kansan, I am inclined to think the writer places too much of the blame for the large percentage of cigarette smokers with which K. U. is now "blessed" on the wrong shoulders.
After dealing with the question of cigarette smoking in the small towns of Kansas and the West for some 15 years I feel that about 45 per cent of the smokers in K. U. probably learned the use, or misuse of the weed, in those same "one horse" town mentioned by Mr. Wycoff.
For some reason for which I am at a loss to account, the habit seems to be increasing instead of diminishing, in spite of the fact that there are a number of organizations that are fighting the cigarette and using a good deal of time and energy to show that young pupils should not get the habit.
I am very glad that Mr. Wyeoff has brought up the subject. Possibly we can get suggestions from other sources which will help us all in our fight on the little "White Slaver." I believe that if we can induce boys and young men to understand the attitude of "big business" toward the cigarette fend we can do more than along any other line. Keep hammering away along that line Mr. Wyeoff. Let's hear from others.
The Student Loan Fund can be made a big advertisement for the University. Many young men and women kept from entering college because of funds, would be willing to borrow money and pay it back with interest.
"An Old Grad."
To the Editor:
If the University could build up a loan fund and bring it within reach of more young men and women it would not only help the students but also the University. The desire for a location is intention to be greater and when an institution that means of meeting expenses it will be selected in preference to others.
The university age is one of enthusiasm and the students are willing to work for the desired end. By working up this feature of university life a new era in educational affairs will be begun.

to the position of associate professor. He held this position until he came to the University of Kansas in 1912.
In 1908 he was granted a leave of absence of a year and a half, during this time he was employed by the United States Immigration Company to report on the immigration of the Japanese and Chinese. His work is a part of the United States Immigration Committee's Report. Two years ago while spending his summer at the coast he was employed by the Federation Council of the Churches of Christ to make a special investigation of the Japanese people. The results were reported last year in the book, "Japanese Problems in the United States" published by Macmillan & Company.
THEY TRUST TO LUCK AND SOMETIMES WIN
CHOCOLATES
Students in the summer school bet, as well as others, and enjoy the process of "trusting to luck". The wagers are usually small, entailing a small transfer of coin or the carrying out of a freak agreement by the loser. Coin tossing or penny matching are two of the most common forms which the students employ to pass the time while waiting for lunch or dinner. The amount of money transferred in this way is not large enough for serious concern as the students are conservative, owing to the principle of the thing, rather than the lack of coin (?).
A pretty wager of the real kind was recently staged when a gallant young summer student wagered a prety co-od concerning the big fish caught in the Kansas River a week or two before intense enjoyment, and the young man gamey surcended a big box of fine chocolates.

BUY OLD CHEM BOOKS
Valuable Transcripts 200 Years
Old Received at Library
Two books over two hundred years old have just been secured by Prof. Frank B. Dains of the chemistry department for their library. One, "A Course in Chemistry," published by Nicholas Lemery, a Frenchman, and translated into the English language by David Complete Course in Chemistry," published in 1709 by George Wilson, an Englishman.
Both books are in excellent condition. The bindings are of genuine leather and the paper soft and pliable. The older volume is fancifully tooled and in the best repair of the two.
The 1685 edition is quite conservative and logical in the principles it sets forth. The illustrations are exceptionally fine for so early a date. The 1709 edition is not so logical or so conservative as the earlier edition. It gives two concoctions which one would laugh at today, but nevertheless it is characteristic of chemistry at that period. One was a prescription for fits which was made by brewing human skulls and was known as the Ellixar of Human Skulls. Another, quite a common remedy for several kinds of ills, was a brew made from vipers.

IMPROVE READING ART
Professor Melcher Would Apply Rate Tests in Elementary Schools
250-300 WORDS A MINUTE
Such Facility Would Aid Students in College
In his address to the Summer Session students yesterday afternoon in Fraser Hall Prof. George Melcher, Director of Research in Public Schools of Kansas City, Missouri, who is teaching a class in School Efficiency Tests, emphasized the importance of the better teaching of the art of reading to students, and firmly convinced that if the graduate of the elementary schools is able to read and intelligently interpret what he reads at the rate of 250 to 300 words a minute, he will have an asset which will be of marvelous benefit to him in his further studies in high school, college, and university.
"The tool subjects are arithmetic, writing, spelling, reading, and language. In order to get best results, these subjects must be disposed of as early as possible, so that more time can be given to the subjects that constitute real education. In the past these subjects have received too much time. The desire of educational leaders at present is to secure even better results in these tool subjects with less expenditure of time.
READING THE MOST IMPORTANT
"Of these subjects reading receives the greatest amount of time and is without doubt the most important of the subjects. The quality of work in reading can be materially improved in two ways: First, by the teachers realizing fully what the aims in teaching are. These aims are clearly two: First, to introduce the children to the art of reading, which is the aim that must be emphasized in the lower grades and second, to use the art of reading as a means of securing information and of broadening the child's conceptions. When these aims are clearly in the mind of the teacher, her methods of attacking the subject of reading will be modified. She will know in what grades and when to emphasize the mechanics of reading and in what grades to emphasize the application of the art of reading.
WANTS MEASUREMENT TESTS
"The second means of improving the teaching of reading is for the teacher to consistently measure the results of the work which she is doing. Standards in the rate of reading, both orally and silently, have now been established for each grade. Scales have also been devised for measuring the rate and quality of oral and silent reading. These tests are valid and can often be used by the teacher as a part of the regular class work. When these tests are applied, the teacher knows definitely what she is doing and thus know how to strengthen the weak places in nor work and bring her work fully to the standard.
"As she begins to apply these meas.
ures, she finds that the pupil in the lower grades is reading orally as rapidly or almost as rapidly as he can read silently. However, from the fourth grade up, the pupils can read much more rapidly silently than they can orally. Since the pupils will do little oral reading, as they leave school but will do a large amount of silent reading, it becomes evident that a larger percentage of silent reading is to be emphasized in the lower grades. Woman Improve Frequency 50%
"If this one thought was fully realized by teachers in grades from the fourth to the eighth, it would probably improve the efficiency fifty percent. When pupils leave the elementary schools they should be able at读 250 words to 300 words per minute and clearly interpret the thought and meaning of the passage read. Such power would be exceedingly valuable in his future studies in high school, college and the university. Facility in reading will also lead the pupil to be interested in reading and should he not go to high school, he will become a reader of newspapers, magazines and good books. He will read because it is easy for him to read. He will thus be furnished with one of the best means of harmless enjoyment. Much of his leisure time would be filled with leisure reading."
Vernon Frank, sophomore in the College last year, was at the University Saturday looking after his creds, as he expects to enter the University of Chicago to take a course in accounting. Mr. Frank's going causes the University to lose another foot ball possibility for the first team next year.

By this means, credits may be secured towards the Bachelors' degrees and the University Teachers' Diploma. Many teachers find in these courses an opportunity to review and broaden their knowledge of subjects they are teaching.
By the middle of July the Kaw Valley Interurban will have a bridge completed across the Kaw and will be ready for passenger and freight traffic. This assertion was made yesterday by Mr. H. T. Snediker freight agent of the company in North Lawrence. "The traffic, is the factory, as Mr. Snediker. "There is an average of seven and fifty out-bound passengers on week days and three hundred on Sundays. For a new line the service has been very satisfactory; not a single car in a month has missed its schedule.
The Interurban cars will use the track of the Lawrence Street Railway Company as far south as Ninth Street on Massachusetts when traffic reaches the south side. They will be switched and turned on the "Y" on Eighth Street. The Lawrence Railway Company will use the new bridge and run cars to North Lawrence at an early date. A useful feature for Lawrence citizens will be an early mail car from Kansas City, arriving at 5:30 from Kansas City bringing morning papers.
The Interurban Company has set no date for continuing construction westward. It is likely they will build west on Twenty-Second Street, using about two miles of the Lawrence Company's track.
Several students of the summer session are now arranging their correspondence study courses for next year. Some will secure additional credits during the remainder of the vacation. If you are planning on taking correspondence work this summer or next year, delay may be avoided by selecting your courses and making definite arrangements before leaving the University. A fee of $10.00 entitles residents of Kansas to correspondence instruction for a period of twelve months. Courses are offered in the following subjects:
The ticket office and baggage room of the new line is under construction on Massachusetts Street, just north of the Bowersock Theater. Mr. Snodker said that club rates would be made for students.
Nearly five hundred teachers pursued courses through correspondence with the University of Kansas during the past year. Some of these are continuing this work through the summer.

The Bethlehem Steel Company will manufacture armor plate for the Government of the United States at actual cost of operation plus such charges for overhead expenses, interest, and depreciation as the Federal Trade Commission may fix. We will do this for such period as the Government may designate.
Isn't that fair? The question is now before the United States Senate.
Is it wise—is it fair—for the Government to destroy a private industry brought into existence to serve the Government, unless for reasons of compelling force? To show that no such reasons exist, we make this offer to the United States Government:

"LAST SUPPER" SHOWN
Medici Prints of Art on Exhibit in Ad. Building
Do you know who painted the "Last Supper?" Would you recognize a Titanic picture? And if you can't say yes to questions like these, are you properly ashamed of your ignorance? If you are, you will make many trips to the museum. As an Administration Building and study the unusual art collection there.
These pictures are Medici prints from the world's best art, reproduced by the Calipty process. This process involves making a photograph through three screens of red, blue, and yellow. All the colors of the original are thus transferred to the reproduction, and delicate gradations of color and shadings may be seen nearly as well in the paintings in the original. The result of a collection of such prints on the spectator is near enough to the thrill of looking at the original to make frequent trips to the gallery worth while.

Summer Session Nine Defeats Haskell 4 to 0 in Six Inning
Game
Playing errorless ball, and hitting when hits counted, enabled the Summer Session team to win from Haskell Friday night. The score was four to zero; the shut out being due to effective pitching by Hugo Wedell and excellent support by his team. Not an error was chalked up against the Summer Session team; Haskell being credited with bat two bobbles.
Solid hits in the first inning enabled the Summer Session team to cross the rubber three times. The timely hitting in the third inning was responsible for the final score. On account of the late start the game was called at the end of the sixth; during the seventh, the net safely twice, while the Summer Session team was getting its seven man-sized wallops.

SWIMMING IS POPULAR
Swimming has become the most popular summer sport of the University. Dozens of students, both men and women, may be seen of afternoons on their way to Potter's Lake. The pool in the gym is also used, but most persons prefer the lake, with its fine diving tower and spring board and natural surroundings. The swallows dips and sing while the swimmers swim and the surroundings of "The Old Swimming Hole" are complete.
Rain or Shine Bathers Go to Potter's Lake
RICHER LIVES FOR MANY
A serious matter in the gymnasium has just come to light. It has been discovered that in the women's dressing rooms there are about fifty women to one looking glass and often there is none to use at all. How can a woman who has been swimming, get her hair back up or put the powder on straight without looking in the glass is the question which arises every afternoon. They are hoping that some generous person will be moved by their tale of woe and put up at least one glass in each dressing room.
The weather makes little difference to the bathers. So fascinating has the sport become that cold and rainy days see the almost usual crowd.
to the bathers. So fascinating has the sport become that cold and rainy days see almost the usual crowd. People of the city, are also permitted to use the lake. It is not unusual to see a mother with her children and several of the neighborhood on their way to and from the lake. Youngsters climb the tower and dive with the skill of amphibia, which, at a distance, they somewhat resemble.
Thousand Enroll for Diversified Courses
Ernest Rees, a student of the Summer Session, celebrated the Fourth at his home in Girard. Mr. Rees left Friday and returned Tuesday.
This story of the people of Kansas and of the University is but the old myth of Mohammed and the mountain reversed. In the ancient tale the mountain couldn't go to Mohammed so Mohammed went to the mountain.
In Kansas since all the people can't go to the University the University goes to the people; goes just as surely as if those great buildings of stone moved over the lake. But the people of Kansas care little for more blocks of stone put together, its swift give and take of the minds thinking big, vital thoughts within these things, that the people want to share.
For every ten men and women gathered in a University classroom there are hundreds of men and women out over Kansas, from the large town to the dug out on the western plains who want to meet with that small group, men and women who futility wish that they had gone "on."
MANY Mohammeds in KANSAS
There were so many, many Mohammeds in Kansas who couldn't go to the mountain that it became plainly expedient that the mountain go to them. The plan grew very slowly because the people who lived on the mountain had to be sure that the mountain could move and that the Mohammeds really needed the mountain.
But the people out on the prairies and the plains made their gladness so heard, when it was whispered that the mountain was stirring, that the most skeptical of the hurriers urged the mountain to hurry and move.
First strong cables were laid, reaching from the cable office in the Extension Department of the University to every part of Kansas and even over the boundary lines. These cables were many in number and varied in kind for there are over two hundred of them representing more than two hundred courses offered in any subject asked for by the people, the Mohammad who can't go to the mountain.
DEMAND FOR COURSES INCREASES Since the University of Kansas decided it could and would go out to the people the number of enrollments for courses by correspondence has increased rapidly. In 1915-16 there were 759 enrollments but in 1915-16 the number has reached 1005.
They are such eager earnest people who joyfully tell why they wanted the University to come to them; the teacher, in order that he will be a better teacher; the mother so that she will be prepared to help her children just entering the high school; the wife, to be able to advance with her progressive husband; and the man past three score years, to keep his mind active. One ambitious woman for instance, who has never been to high school, wants to know how to tell to others the stories she sees in the lives of those about her. Women on the farm, would learn house decorating, women who sold clothes in contact with life, who interested in insect life, wants to study entomology. And there are others, seeking knowledge in all learning—in subjects that range from sociology to the preparation of food. Thus more than a thousand men and women in Kansas and outside of it are living richer, richer lives because the nineteenth century mountain decided it could and would go to its Mohammeds.
"If the young men can't do it, we old chaps will go down to Mexico and whip 'em ourselves," said a Civil war veteran yesterday on the street car.
"Yen, sir, we've got plenty of ginger to do it! How old am I? Guess."
"About sixty-eight," said another passenger.
"Wrong, I was seventy-five the 23rd of June Yes, sir, I am as spry as most men of twenty-five."
And to vindicate his statement he jumped up in the aisle, swung his arms and danced as gaily as a recruit.
The parks in Kansas City with their pools where they could forget the heat, and with plenty of attractions to make them forget school for a day was inducement enough to attract Eugene Gempel, William Harrison and Sidney Noel to that city. Sunday.

OKLAHOMA PROFESSOR
LIKES THE UNIVERSITY
The Agricultural and Normal University, a negro institution located at Langston, Oklahoma, is represented in the Summer session by Levi Samul Sadler, professor of English lanugue and literature, who is here or leave of absence to take special work with the assistant of English. Mr. Sadler says he believed he should be judged by the men who shun it and since he has noticed that the men who were hunting only a good time, shunned K. U., he decided that this
would be a good place to get some real work.
The University at Langton was established by an act of the territorial legislature in 1897. Both preparatory and university courses are offered, and the course is normal training given, the industrial features are strongly emphasized.
A new president, J. M. Marquess,
former principle of the Sumner High
School in Kansas City, took charge of
the University June 1, and it is expected
that remarkable improvements will be made in all the departments in the near future.

Time and Place All Set for the Summer Session Party
OF VARIED AMUSEMENTS
Dancing Only One Feature of the Evening
The Summer Session party is to rival the biggest social functions of the regular term, according to the latest reports of the committee in Congress, which is meant be the mecca for all fun-loving and soileable people Friday night. July 14.
Various entertainments have been provided for everybody desiring a change and diversion from library reading and the every-day and night 'movie'. There will be a musical program on the lawn before the Gymnasium, followed by a lawn party. Some of the best talent of the University and Lawrence has been obtained for the hour from 8 to 9.
Music for a big dance begins at 3 o'clock in the main room of the Gymnasium. The floor is in excellent condition; the many large windows, open to the north and south, will make the room the coolest spot in town. The three piece orchestra promises the best of the latest dance music. Ice water and punch, plenty of it, will be served throughout the evening.
Coats and dates are matters of personal selection. Anyone wishing to attend, need not stay away for fear of having no safe return home. Just at the home at the door with the committee and it will provide a safe return.
Tags are being sold to meet the expenses of the party. They sell Le 15c and can be obtained from Drothy Cole, chairman of the Summer Session party, and the following committee: Maureen McKernan, C. A. Axton, Fina Ota, Ruth Rudolph, Gertrude Ott, Clarence Porter, Iva Testerman, Edith McLaughlin, Laure in Shaw and Glenn Wycoff.

To Begin Work in University of Chicago in September at a Larger salary
Dean Eoin Templin received the expected resignation of Prof. H. A. Millis of the department of economics yesterday. Professor Millis resigns in the department of economics of the University of Chicago in September.
Mrs. Millis when interviewed had just received a letter from her husband announcing that he had mailed his resignation to Dean Templin, M.; Millis wrote that he expected to be in Lawrence for the week-end to finish up his work at the University and to pack up his books. He intends returning to Chicago in time for classes Tuesday.
Dean Templin's secretary gave out the following: "Professor Milla has resigned. He will be back soon to finish the closing of his work at the University of Chicago, moving to Chicago to begin his work in a new field this coming September."
In coming home for the week's end Professor Millis will loose no time from his classes. Professor Millis does not plan to return any more before taking up his work permanently in Chicago the coming autumn.
"We contemplate moving, the first of August," said Mrs. Millis. "It is dreadful to have to pack up in weather like this. The summers in Chicago will be a little cooler than this, but the winters will be much colder. Lawrence is cold enough for me in the winter."
Cameron's Bluff seemed to be the popular resort of the students staying here for the Fourth. Canoes and row boats dotted the piñac Kaw all day, and even the motor boats were busy hauling pinchers who did not enjoy paddling up the river. The Blufs were literally covered by the pleasure seekers, some sleeping, some reading and others celebrating with fire works. Those who had worked hard going up the river were more than repaid by the homeward trip as was shown by the joyous remarks that came floating over the water in the cool night air.
Prof. C. H. Ashton and family will drive to Estes Park in their car at the close of the Summer Session.

Two years ago Miss Lovejoy was assigned by the Foreign Mission Society of the Methodist Episcopal church to Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was during her stay there that she decided to study at what is the oldest university on the American continent, tradition having it if that the University was in existence and that casas and was in existence when that people were conquered by Pizzero in the early part of the sixteenth century.

WHY QUIT HIGH SGHOOL?
SOCIAL STATISTICS TAKEN
Dislike of Teacher Least Active Force in Elimination Process
Superintendent J. M. Gwinn, of New Orleans lectured yesterday afternoon in Blake Hall, at 4:45 on the subject: "Why Children Leave High School." His lecture was in part as follows:
"The school always attracts many more pupils it has. Soon after the compulsory attendance age has been passed most pupils quit. The few who persist are going everywhere, perhaps stronger in New Orleans than in Kansas City.
"We wanted to know why the pupils dropped out and so made a study covering the whole year. In order to do this we got the pupils' statement, the parents' statement, and the teachers' statement why the child dropped out. A special investigator went into the home of each pupil that had withdrawn from school and the pupils that had withdrawn returned to school because it was found that the cause of their withdrawal was usually a slight mis-understanding.
"It is always best for pupils to enter the high school while they are young. A nineteen year old high school student is five times as apt to quit as a student. A first year pupil is also likely to quit as a third year pupil."
"The first month after school begins is the time of great mortality among students as is the month before the end of the term. If parents can keep the child in school the first month and year much of the battle is won, it quit just before the end of the term. Keep from being reported failures.
"The social investigator found that a poor boy is no more apt to drop out than a rich boy. Financial necessity causes but few eliminations. Eliminations are greater from commercial and elective courses than from college preparatory and normal preparatory courses. The cause of this being that the former longer the former courses had no definite aim in view to commence with . . .
"The principal reasons for children quitting school were found to be, slow progress, discouraged by absence, lack of interest, dissatisfaction with the course, ill-health, desire to earn, and financial reason.
An All-University Sing led by Professor Downing will be held on the campus at 8 o'clock tonight. These sings are becoming very popular with a Summer Session students and a Summer班 is expected to turn out to night.
The Engineer Surveying Camp on the Robinson estate four and a half miles northeast of Lawrence, is a football training camp in disguise, the opinion of Jick Fast, a "K" man of the University.
"The least active forces which were found to draw the child from school were dislike of the teacher, withdrawal by parents, marriage, and suspension.

Straw Vote Reveals Variety o Opinions Tersely Stated
HOW MEN WILL
ROOSEVELT QUEERED ONE
Majority Against Wilson Mexican Policy
A canvass of voters Saturday evening on the streets of Lawrence to determine the legal choice for president was made at the busiest hour in the week, but every one interviewed found time to name his choice or give reasons for neutrality. The most striking differences of opinions were given in regard to the Mexican situation, Tariff discussion was weak, and those who criticised the president thought him too womanish and indicious.
Exact quotations are given in the interviews. The first man accented was in the real estate business and has an office on Massachusetts Street. "I am not nominally a Democrat," he said, but Wilson on his first two years record. In the last two years he has got weak-kneed and lets people bully him."
A printer was next: "I'm going to vote for Wilson whether any one else does or not." And, adding later, "I don't believe he will be elected."
BELIEVES WILSON WILL LOSE
Superintendent of a print shop:
"Who will be elected? Wilson won't.
Too much of a sissy, has no backbone,
no business man, no executive ability.
He will run the government in debt a
billion dollars on Mexico."
The presumant: "I was always a Republican and I don't think it worth while to change; the office ought to be raised around; Wilson's had it once."
The farmer: "My township is a little bit Democratic. They always elect the township officers. Wilson has had a good deal to contend with. I like his keeping the country out of war."
a labor, property owner in Lawn-
ness; for Wilson; I've always been
a farmer.
Then the plumber: There was no work in his line and he was delivering oil. For variety of questions the reporter addressed him thus: "Excuse me for being so inquisitive, Mistar, but who is going to be the next president?" "Sorry to inform you, sir, but you have asked the wrong man. I might give you my views. I am for Hughes because of his preparedness policy, but more because he favors a protective tariff."
HAS NOT MADE UP MIND YET
Three men in a blacksmith shop were interviewed. They proved to be a lawyer, a carpenter, and the smith, colored. And busy? The smith was flourishing a red-hot iron and burning holes in a wagon fellon. A couple of abrupt questions got an audience. "Now, look heath, Mistah, this chille ain't goin' to make up his mind till he gets you white folks' advice." I am not giving out anything today," said the Kansan man, "I'm hunting opinions." "Then you're come to a poo, place! I use machet made up my mind."
Just as the lawyer was escaping the reporter got his confession, "I will vote for protection of American industry and American labor every time I get a chance. About the time the Republicans get the country out of debt, the Democrats get in office and get it back in again."
A grocer: "Have always been a Democrat, but will vote for Hughes on account of the Mexican troubles." A prosecutor arrests anyhow on account of the torture.
The carpenter drifted into war, declaring at the outset that he had a university education. "The whole issues hinges on the war. It is a rich man's war, there never was one fought that wasn't." If our men get into war in Mexico, a lot of them will get killed, and one of them. "He thought maybe he would vote for Wilson, but his ten minute lecture was Socialistic.
His clerk: "Have been a Democrat but will vote for Hughes. I like peace with honor, but not peace at any price."
When the straw vote was closed, the reporter had made these discoveries: That people would talk more freely after they found out the questioner had) no political aspirations; that no difference how busy a man was, he could find time to answer leading questions on politics.

Schoolmen's Organization Completed and Constitution Adopted
PLAN A BANQUET FRIDAY
The Schoolman's Forum met at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon in Blake Hall and completed its organization. A constitution was presented and adopted. A motion was made and carried. The commission accepted as the permanent officers.
General Invitation Out for Friday Night's Feed
L. H. Petit, as chairman of the social committee, presented plans for a banquet to be held on Friday, July 14, at 6:30 in Myers Hall. It was voted to hold this banquet and to invite all School-men attending the Summer Session. This is to be the last meeting of the forum and is to be altogether of a social nature. Any one wishing to attend this banquet can notify the secretary-treasurer, W. N. Vanslyka, before Thursday noon.
EXPLAINS RELATION OF SCHOOL
EXPLAINING RELATIONSHIP OF SCHOOL
After the business of the meeting was finished short talks were given, J. F. Hughes, a principal on the various relations of the home to the school. He told about the Parent-Teachers Association organized in his school for the purpose of bringing co-operation between the school and the home. In connection with this organization a visiting committee was appointed to visit the different school buildings of the town and inspect the junior work, school ground equipment, teachers and the conduct. This committee consists of five members selected from patrons of the school. It brought a little trouble at first, he said, but it brought results and better junior work and far better equipment was bought as a result.
L. H. Petitt, of Collinsville, Okla,
gave a short talk on school activities.
He told how they handled the question
of card playing, dancing and parties in his school in Oklahoma. He said that when he went there five years ago these things were a great problem but now he has no trouble.
"The classes are required to each elect a member to the school council and no social affair is to be held without the consent of this body and in this way we have no trouble," he said.
Prof. G, C. Datzou, of Lyons, gave a talk on the motion pictures and slides in the public school. He told of the results obtained in his school after twenty-six weeks of the slide service offered by the University. He was liberal of his praise of the service given and thinks every school should take advantage of this advantage given by the University.
SAYS GOOD WORD FOR MOVIES
Co. M Has The Banner—Will Fly it on Border
The Schoolmen's Forum will hold a banquet next Friday evening at 6:30 in Myers Hall. All professors of the University and schoolmen attending the Summer Session are invited. There will be informal talks and a workshop. The meeting will be scheduled at seventy-five cents each, wishing plates should see L. H, Pett, Grover C. Dotzour or Willard Van-Slyck before no Thursday.
TO TAKE PENNANT SOUTH
The K. U. pennant, made by the Summer Session women is now in the possession of Co.M. The pennant is to be fastened on the coach in which Company M will leave Fort Riley for the border.
After displaying the Crimson and the Blue to the people along their way to the border, the boys of Com- M will hang it up in their quarters.
The penant is twelve feet long. The letters K. U. are blue, while the penant is crimson. The cost of the material of the penant was five dollars, and fifty Summer Session women will each be asked to leave a dime at the Registrar's office. The money was advanced by an individual so the penant could be used by Company M on the way to Mexico.

INTEREST IN COMMUNITY
SINGS GROWS RAPIDLY
Another Community Sing was held on the Campus last Thursday night under the leadership of Prof. W. B. Downing, of the School of Fine Arts. About 7:30, after a little crowd had gathered, Miss Nelson was asked to help at the piano. More kept drawing into the circle until about two hundred had gathered. Patriotism rang out especially loud and clear in the first song, The Red White and Blue, and also in the closing song "Dish" by Dr. Lisa Dibs and Tenting on the Old Camp Ground. Other songs were Auld Lang Syne, Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes, and Juanta.
The men were asked to take the front seats and all but a very few responded. Then a contest followed between the women and the men, both in singing and in whistling. Impairments were chosen from some bystanders who enjoyed the music and they unanimously decided in favor of themen.
Three" loud hurrhing cheers then resounded for the judges, followed by three for the leader, and three for the women, and lastly Professor Downing gave two weaker cheers and finally a silent one for the men.
This Community Sing, as all the others have been, was a decided success, but the opportunity may be yet, your last opportunity will be given Tuesday night, July 11.
WOMEN FOR WILSON
Want President Who Will Stand For Peace as National Issue
WON'T SCRATCH TICKETS
Some Will Vote 'er Straight Because Their Fathers Did
Since women in Kansas have the right to vote a reporter was sent to interview several on the present political situation. In the following answers to the questions: for whom will you vote? and why? The women considered the question of war with Mexico of greatest importance. A few of those interested did not believe in women's rights and were willing to leave such things as politics to the men.
A woman who has had quite a bit of business training and who studies the daily paperse said, "I don't know whom I will vote for. If we have war Pilvice for Wilson as I don't think such a critical time, such a critical time, I do not like this wishy-washy ways of dealing with foreign affairs."
ADMIRES WILSON AS IDEALIST
One fair co-ed who will cast her first vote for President replied, "haven't decided whom I will vote for but I admire Wilson as he is an idealist."
ADMIRES WILSON AS IDEALIST
"I'm going to vote for Wilson because I like his peace policy and the way he has kept our country out of war," was another's answer. "Another man might be as capable as Mr. Wilton but no one is able to take up the work where he would have to leave it. It would take some time for a new man to learn just what would be best to do and this is too critical a time to have anyone experimenting with our national affairs."
Another school ma'am; "I admire Wilson. Although he has been criticized severely and has not acted as wisely at times as he might have done, he has filled his place and has done it well. To my mind it takes more ability to keep out of war than to manage a war. But I believe that I will vote for Hughes because he's a Republican."
A house wife was interviewed while she was preparing the noon day meal. As she scraped the new potatoes she said, "I don't think I'll vote at all. I was raised in Missouri and came to Kansas about a year ago. If I did vote I'd feel as though I was doing something wrong. I have never taken much interest in politics but I would like to have Roosevelt for president." "I'm going to vote for Wilson," said one high school teacher emphatically. "Any one who stands for $g
DOES NOT CARE TO VOTE
"I'm going to vote for Wilson," said one high school teacher emphatically. "Any one who stands for a flag as a national issue has my vote."
"I'm for Hughes," another said. "Wison is too slow. I don't like his Mexican policy. I think that we will have war with Mexico eventually and I think the delay will make matters worse. I really want Roosevelt but I admire him much more since he refused to accept the nomination."

ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE
Pictures of Daring Explorers Will be Shown In Fraser Chapel
CAMP LIFE IN ICE LANOS
Pictures Show Hardships Endured by Men in Frozen South
The adventures of the most daring band of explorers since the lost expedition of Lieutenant Scott in the frozen lands of the far south, will be shown in moving pictures Wednesday and Thursday nights in Fraser chapel, at eight o'clock. It isn't every July evening when the thermometer registers ninety-two that there is an opportunity to go of the coldest region in the world, even for only two hours. A story that runs the whole gamut of human emotion is vividly shown in the films brought back by Sir Douglas Mawson, head of the Aurora expedition which went thousands of miles into a country never before seen by man. It is the record of the terrible hardships endured by the sixty men of the expedition from the time the Aurora sailed from Hobart, Tasmania, in 1911 until the return twenty-seven months later, that is depicted.
Mac-Aurora finally reaches Mac-Quarie Island, after escaping the pack ice, the men build a base hut and prepare to spend the winter while exile parties are sent out, hundreds of along the coast and into the interior.
SHOW A NATURAL REFRIGERATOR
SHOW A NATURAL REPRESENSOR
Amusing scenes of camp life will be shown; as the natural refrigerator, to the small to admit a man's body so a dog is sent after the soul meat and then caught as soon as he reappears to prevent his escaping with his booty; of the way the men spend the long storm days in the hut reading, the Encyclopedia Britannica and the cook book after their supply of reading material became exhausted.
The pictures show the dogs in failing strength pulling the sled through driving snow storms. On New Year's Day, after a twenty-four day trip the last dog gives out. Seven days later Dr. Mertz dies from the effects of the cold, exhaustion and starvation. Then there are many pictures showing Sir Douglas struggling on, alone, living on dog meat until at the end of nearly a month he reaches the camp.
In sharp contrast to such scenes will be those depicting the vast stretches of snow waste in which only the three human beings, Sir Douglas Mawson, Lieut. Ninnis, and Dr. Mertz are seen making their way with dog teams through an unknown land. After three hundred miles of slow advance tragedy overtakes the little party, Lieut. Ninnis with the best dog team and nearly all the provisions vanion into a crevassse. Without food, Sir Douglas and Dr. Mertz start on the return trip, over the glacier ice and across a pleaurete 3,000 feet high, to the camp.
SIR DOUGLAS LIVES ON DOG MEAT
Perhaps the most interesting of the films will be those depicting the bird and animal life of the polar regions; pictures showing thousands of penguins queer half-bird, half-fish conudians; of the elephant seals, and the baby sea elephant who on being awakened to have his picture taken, weeps as would any child at being distrubed from his afternoon nap.
The Extension Department under whose auspices the Sir Douglas Mawson pictures come to Lawrence cannot afford to include them with the miniature picture sets a charge of fifty cents, made to all except Summer Session students for whom a special price of twenty-five cents is made.
Student Volunteers Meet
An open meeting of the Student Volunteers will be held in Room 2, east basement of Fraser Hall, Thursday at 8 p.m., Mr. R. E. Smith will experience as a missionary in Cyprus from that island and views of his travels. Those interested are cordially invited to attend.
Prof E. B. Stouffer and Prof. John N. Van der Vries celebrated the wake Fourth by walking to the Wakarusa and cooking breakfast over an open fire, at the same time trying to imagine they were down on the Rio Grande.
"Red" Hart says he is going to start a bug farm. He already has a very nice start. "Red" has one old June bug with a litter of about 50,000 little Junes.

IT'S GOOD BYE AGAIN
With growing concern we watch the exodus of some of our best faculty members. Last week it was Professor Millis. Who is to be the next?
The University is developing good men each year. A certain percentage of them are expected to step into bigger positions in larger universities and their advancement is welcomed by all. The deplorable fact connected with their departure from the University of Kansas is that many obtain smaller positions elsewhere at sometimes twice the salary they received here. A few have become high school teachers at much higher pay.
Does the state expect charity work from men who have spent nearly a generation in preparing for the teaching profession? Does the state think that there is some mysterious magnetism about Mount Oread, that will hold valuable men here, when other schools offer them money for their services? Maybe our progressive commonwealth is laboring under the impression that all of the faculty members can afford to be philanthropists.
The University's high standing among other state institutions is gradually being lowered. Soon it will become a matter to blush about. Are such jolts as the one last week going to wake up the legislature or will it take the shock of striking the bottom of the list?
THE LITTLE THINGS
It has been said that a book is the noblest work of man and that even a Quaker ought to take off his hat in a library.
If one will observe the readers in Spooner Library marking the books which are not their own, or carelessly tearing a page or turning down the corner of the leaf, he is inclined to believe that they have had but little real association with books.
It's the little things that count.
BE AN OPTIMIST
Live in the active voice; intent on what you can do rather than on what happens to you; in the indicative mood; concerned with facts as they are rather than as they might be: in the present tense; concentrated on the duty in hand, without regard for the past or worry about the future: in the first person; criticizing yourself rather than condemning others: in the singular number; seeking the approval of your own conscience rather than that of many. Who ever lives the life of much unselfish devotion to the good of others and of all, and lives it in the active voice, indicative mood, present tense, first person, singular number, is bound to find his life full and rich and glad and free; is bound, in other words, to be an optimist.
A regulator that needs regulating is a sorry spectacle.
How complacently the unsophisticated school-ma'am summer student, whose private regulator is in the hands of the third consecutive tinkerer whose schedule is a new one, whose itinerary is an untradden maze, and whose bewildered ears have heard varying and conflicting whistles at intervals of seven minutes—discrepancies doubtless due to points of departures dating from the Flood, the Fall of Rome, to the Gregorian Calendar—how complicately we say does this pedestrian, out of breath from the unusual Mt. Oread climb, glance toward the benign face of the University clock and receive the assurance that she has a full half an hour to the good.
Balm of Gilead to the panting spirit is this on-time sensation. On she moves up the steps of Fraser Hall
A STUDENT'S SOLIOQUY
(Apologies to William Shakespeare).
To dig, or not to dig—that is the question—
Whether 'tis better in the mind to suffer,
Th' unending burdens of unkind professors
Or to take arms against a sea of labors,
And by neglecting, end them. To loaf—to rest—
No more and by a rest to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
The dig is heir to," Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To loaf—to rest—
To rest—perchance to flunk—aye there's the rub;
For in that carefree state what grades may come
When we have cast aside this mournful toil
Must give us pause; there's the respect
That makes us forget him.
For who would stand the loss of all his time,
The professor's jokes, grafter's bluff in class,
The pangs of disprized love, the proud "Laws" leisure,
The insolence of office, and the spurs
That patient merit of the unjust prof, takes
When he himself might his quietus make
By a withdrawal. Who would this anguish bear
To grant and sweat under a book-worm life,
But that the dread of something after finals,
The registrar's office, from whose bourne,
No loafer returns, smiling, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of.
Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all
And thus our moving picture expectations
Are sickled o'er with the pale cast of that',
And romance of great pith and moment,
Doth from the dig its curious turn away,
And leave a sad reincarnation, G, O, P.

THE JOB AT HAND
"Opportunity comes but once, size it before it is too late." The above quotation has been used extensively by popular lecturers and writers who strive to urge young folks to action by the use of many high sounding words expressive of very little common sense.
It is refreshing to know that all people do not hold to the one opportunity belief. If we look back over the many incidents in our lives we can easily see that such a view is an absolute fallacy. Never a day passes in which some little opportunity to do good does not present itself to us. If we fail to see these opportunities, it is due largely to our own lack of intelligence and to the fact that we do not keep our eyes open.
Most human beings are possessed with the insane desire to do big things. In their wild scramble after fame, they blind their eyes to the little things of every day life. They fail to see the importance of the common place. Forgetting that it is the little things that conut, they try to start their foundation to success at the roof of the house.
To see the possibilities that lie all around him, and to make the most of his daily opportunities, is a big task for any man. And he is indeed fortunate if he realizes that greatness is not to be acquired in a single step. If he would have his picture hung in the hall of fame, he must first show the world that he is able to stick to the job at hand, and to put his energy and enthusiasm to a practical test in the daily grind of life.

CAMPUS OPINION
To the Editor:
communications must be staged as evidence of good faith and will be witnessed without the witness's consent.
What constitutes getting acquainted? We have seen a great deal in the Kansan about the Summer School students getting acquainted, Dean Kelly said that the Community Sings, the play hour, and the moving pictures were provided for this purpose. Do people really get acquainted at these places? Or do those who have friends go with those friends and not make an effort to get acquainted with anyone else?
How is a person who has no friends to get acquainted? Must he wait till he is introduced to someone. Are men supposed to speak to women they have not met, at such places, or to men? If a girl dances the Virginia Reel with a man she has never seen before and whose name she does not know nor whether he's married or single, does he expect her to speak to him when she passes him in the library the next day? People are so different that you never know whether your advances are welcome or not. Some, like Carlyle, never tire of their own company. Some want only old or especially congenial friends. And you cannot blame anyone for preferring to see the Colurus (or do you hear them) by himself so he can laugh when he wants to and not be obliged to make conversation, rather than to be with some one who spoils his enjoyment by unnecessary comments. There are people who must have some one to talk to and do not care whether they talk to friends or strangers. There are times too when everyone gets so lonesome that he is thankful for even a stranger to talk to. How shall we know then, not only how, but when to get acquainted?
Lone Some.
To the Editor;
The state law requires that no one under sixteen years of age be permitted to drive an automobile alone. But nearly every day one notices boys and girls not more than twelve or fourteen cars and doing about in big touring cars. Some of their scarcely are so small that they can scarcely see over the wheel.
Is there any law or tradition against overhead ventilation in the Summer Session class rooms? No aphysiations were reported from chapel last Friday, but the preserved condition for such bphenomena.
Why is it that the officials of this city do not enforce the ordinance governing the driving of automobiles within the city limits?
Yesterday, a basket of clothes was knocked from a boy's shoulder and the boy sent sprawling by such a car, and every day there are hair breadth escapes. Maybe tomorrow some baby will be killed and a mother's heart broken. But then it will be too late.
The speed limit is twelve miles per hour on Massachusetts and twenty in out-lying districts. Despite this fact at nearly every hour of the day, power lines often unaccompanied by older children, speed up and down the streets.

THE SOLDER TO HIS KNAPSACK
You feel he's a friend, he weighs down your back;
You call him a scourge in the day's wear and tear;
You'd find him behind in the long duty track.
Yet when there's a halt he provides you a chair.
Beyond on the line where the sower of death
Flings wide over all his pestilent seed,
And nerve oozes out with each next-to-last breath,
He serves as a guard to your very life's need.
At times he's your buffet, your larder, your chest,
A furniture suite you can lift in your hand.
Or lay 'neath your head as you curl up to rest
And march in your dreams to a happier land.
"Old fellow, what grueling days we go through.
What names have I flung at your innocent skin! . . .
I take them all back and swear by the blue
We're pals to the finish through thick and thin"}

Increasing Demand for Plays Over State From Extension Division
PLAYS MAKE MONEY
"But," cries the newly elected member of every women's club, protestingly. "We'll never agree on any one play." Amid a chorus of voices all explaining at once, she as last understands that "we just send to the Play Department in chair of this department Department of the University, and tell them what kind of a play we want, and presto! the play will appear.
"The play's the thing," exclaims not the sixteenth century boy Hamlet, but the nineteenth century president of every senior class, and of every woman's club in Kansas, planning to buy everything from a vicinity to the high school, to pearl grey and toose hangings for the new club rooms.
PUBLIC DEMANDS PLAYS
And the play does appear, because there is a Play Bureau created just as any of the thousand and one bueaus of information in the world was created; by the demands of the public. Is it more preposterous to demand information as to the proper books for the library or a Persian rug for the club house than to demand whether it is going to rain or snow?
Kansas schools and clubs don't think so for in 1916-17 three hundred seventy-five requests came to the Play Bureau. In answer to these over fifteen hundred plays and one hundred sixty-eight recitations were sent out.
The high school classes and women's clubs, once the decision to have a play is made, have no further trouble until rehearsals begin.
When the card reaches the Extension office, the play director notes the kind of play and the number of characters wanted. Then a case is opened containing hundreds and hundreds of paper packages; plays that have been labeled five, seven, eight and labeled the number of characters in the play.
POPULAR TASTE IN SELECTION
Sometimes in the selection of a play, a very serious difficulty arises because, "all classes have more girls than boys, and nearly all plays have more boys than girls." It can readily be seen that the problem of adjustment between a class full of girls and a play full of boys requires astute handling. And then another difficulty, popular taste. Popular
taste in plays. Why, of course, or how will you account for the fact that "The Mouse Trap," has been given in nearly every town in Kansas in the last two years?
As you look at these stacks of plays you wonder if probably the "Obstinate Family," or "Six Cups of Chocolate," or even "Lend Me Five Shillings," wont lead the fashion in plays for the season of 1016'17.
SUMMER STUDENTS SWIM
Enjoy Potter Lake Hot July Afternoons
The tall youth on the top diving platform at Potter Lake leans for ward to make the leap, falters, and loses his nerve.
"Look out below!"
Such a scene as the above can be observed at Potter lake almost every afternoon. About seventy-five bathers, most of them Summer Sessionists, make up the average afternoon crowd. Driven to the lake to escape the discomfort of "Old Soils" reign of terror, they make the most of the coolness the affords. It is useless to ask them if they are enjoying these. To see the gay sport and to hear the joyful shouts is enough to convince any onlooker that Potter lake is the most popular place on the Hill these days.
Up goes one of the experts. He poises for a moment on the platform, leans out a little, then shoots like a flash into the cool waters below. A youngster, not to be outdone, grasps a suspended ring and swings far out over the lake. Releasing his hold, he turns a somersault and strikes the water with a clean-cut dive. Soon the air is filled with joyous cries and catcalls, while numerous splashes indicate that many other swimmers are entering the water via the springboard route. On a raft in the center of the lake, a group of boys hilariously engage in aquatic sports. Timid learners disport themselves in the shallow water inside the rope inclosure on the east side of the lake. Here and there beginners are paddling about buoyed up by water wings while others, holder than their companions, scorn the use of the little "air-bags" and strike out for themselves.
"Go on, don't be a piker," comes the bantering cry from the onlookers.
A letter home—the Summer Session Kansan.
The would-be diver grins sheepish;
"it looks farther up from here, come
along."
K. U. GETS COAL MINE
Tunnel Will be Driven Under Campus Next Semester —Developing Vein
GIVES PRACTICAL WORK
Department of Mining Will Require 30 Hours Labor.
The University is to have a coal mine on the campus. The department of mining has obtained permission from the Board of Administration to drive a tunnel under the campus to give the students practical experience in meeting the problems that confront the miner in his work.
The department of mining will require thirty hours of practical work in the mine each term. This work will include tunneling, use of the air drills, use of explosives, sharpening tools on a forge, and the use of cars in the course of the mine. The course will offer 20 hours of work. A. C. Terrill will conduct the work in the classroom, and Prof. R. L. Griik will the practical work in the mine.
The mine will be located a little south and east of Worthing Hall. A four-inch stratum which crops out over the campus at numerous place will be taken out. This vein lies under the second bed of Oread limestone. The professors think that there is another bed about one hundred and seventy feet below the surface. It is hoped that this can be developed later. This vein is supposed to be eighteen or twenty inches thick.
TO STUDY K. C. PARKS
The students will do all the work in this mine. This is not a new plan as the Colorado School of Mines has had one in operation for a long time. The Missouri School of Mines also has the Neither of them however, are as busy with K. U. in having a vein to work with and having to drill in solid rock.
Botany Class to Determine Trees Best Suited to Kansas
Prof. W. C. Stevens, of the department of botany is planning to take his class in "Trees and Shrubs" to Kansas City to study the parks and landscapes that have been made by experts. Up to this time the students have been studying those trees which are suitable for streets and parks in Kansas, and as a result of their investigation, have found that the following trees are best adapted: em. hackberry, red oak, pin Oak, sycamore, hard maple and Norway maple. Farther west the honey locust and the Russian olive in addition to some of the others, are adaptable. The work of the class so far has been very interesting; for instance "The Tree of Heaven," a tree resembling a giant shumac has been found to be making itself at home here. A tree thought only to be found in the temple gardens of Japan and China has been found to do very well in Kansas. It is called the "Ginko" or the "maiden hair树" and belongs to the pine group. It is very old geologically, supposed to have been here as long as man, or before. A good specimen may be seen at Dr. Williston's place.
After superintending the schools at Elliwood for a year, Glenn L. Wycoff, a graduate of Southwestern College, is back to attend another Summer Session. He expects to take his master's degree at Chicago next year.

EVER SEE THE SUN DIAL?
Erected By Class of '99 South of Museum
How many Summer Session students know that the monument-like stone standing just south of the Natural History Museum is, or was originally, a sun dial? It would keep time just as well, no doubt, if it had a top, but tradition says, that once upon a time a Summer Session student, who apparently realized that he was not likely to get anything else worth while to take home from the University, stole the top of the dial. But perhaps the dial is just as well off without it, or as well as well out of the world as out of date, and if the University should take a notion to turn its clocks ahead, he awful the dial would feel plodding along apparently an hour behind time.
The sun dial was erected by the class of 1899. Mrs. A. T. Walker, then Bessie Stone, was one of the class members who selected it as a fitting memorial to the class.
To Reach Three Thousand Mark
"Over three thousand for next year," is the slogan of Registrar Foster, "I do not expect more than the normal increase of about one hundred and fifty for next year unless we have unusually good crops or something else happens to enrich the state. We will get nearly nine thousand ninety-fifty-nine last year, without doubt, reach the mark this year, and as usual we will get our share."

Summer Sessionists Have Defeated Every Team in the League
The Knights and Ladies of Security team was unable to stop the *speedy Summer Session team at* Woodland Park Friday night. The game was played on June 13th, each timing, with the count six to nothing, favoring the Summer Session team.
R. Uhrlauk pitching for the Summer Sessionists, was never in danger, only one clean hit being made off his delivery, struck out seven and did not issue a single pass. Little of the K. and L. of S. team was less fortunate. Loose fielding on the part of his teammates, clever base running by the Summer Sessionists, combined with their timely hitting, accounts for the six runs. Wedell's hitting featured the game.
The Summer Session team has defeated every team in the league now and starts on the second series tonight when it meets the Y. M, C. A. at Woodland. The team is playing great ball and deserve much better support than the students are giving it. The games are free and it will be well worth one's time to journey out to Woodland tonight.
The Y. M. C. A. defeated Haskell on the Haskell field Friday, eight to two. The standing of the teams now is: W. John Doi

SNAKES IN THE MUSEUY
The Lives Ones Are Forcibly Fed—Take One Meal a Week
The living part of the museum is a box of snakes, containing a black-snake, a blue racer, a house snake, a garter and two copper-heads. Mr. C. Hairer, curator of the museum houses them in a glass cage in the basement.
"These snakes," explained Mr Bunker, "have lost their appetite and we have to feed them against their will to keep them from starving. 16 They want to eat them, they would eat willingly, but it is too much trouble to get the mice.
ONE MEAL A WEEK
"I know it is expensive, but we only feed them once a week. Snakes are the most particular boarders I have ever fed. I have worked where boa constrictors came in from South America with no appetite whatever. We would poke five or six rabbits down one's throat at an time as an appetizer. After that he would eat without coaxing." Mr. Bunker scrambled a half dozen of the evening meat placed half each into a portion. Then he opened the cage and picked up the nearest snake, which happened to be the blue raceer, and patted it on the head with one hand as he held it in the other.
VILLA AND CARRANZA
"Ned is a little nervous when any stranger is around," he said. "He used to be nervous when he saw me, but he has recovered from his fright." Then he inserted a glass tube down Ned's throat and gave him his supper. Ned showed his appreciation by curling around his master's arm.
Fannie, the gartersnake, was next. She was not so shy as Ned. Following them, Jim, the black-snake Captain Cook, the blue-racer, were fed.
"Look out for Villa and Carranza",
advised Mr. Bunker, "they are copper-heads, and are poisonous." He lassered each and suspended it by the neck before catching hold with his back. Then the food was given with a funnel.
"Equip yourself with a forked stick
and a sack, if you want to be a snake catcher," he explained, "and find a rocky place where they bask in the sun. Be sure it is a clear day when you start. The first hot days in the spring are best; or a hot day in the fall, about the time they begin hibernating. When you find a spike pin its head to the ground with the stick before it has time to run, grasp it close up to the head and put it into the sack.
"This is not a good year for snakes," said Mr. Bunker. "The crop is shorter than I have ever seen it. Weather has been too cold and damp."
FACULTY TO LEAVE K. U.
Will Spend Vacation Out of Town
A. **soon as the Summer Session is ended, many of the University professors will hurry out of town. Most of them will endeavor to find a cooler climate, but Dr. Alice L. Goetz will return to her home in Tucson, Ariz.; while Dr. James Naismith will spend his vacation on the Mexican border.**
On July 3, Dean H. L. Butter and family left for Estes Park, Colo. Prof. C. H. Ashton and family will leave for Estes Park also when the Summer Session closes. Prof. and Mrs. G. E. Putnam will go to Colorado, but have not decided on the exact location yet. Prof. Wm. McKeever and family are to go to Green Mountain Falls in August.
Prof. B. M. Allen is in California teaching in the department of zoology in the University of California. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey and family are spending their vacation in Washington, D. C. Prof. L. E. Sisson and family are visiting in Hamilton, N. Y., which is Professor Sisson's old home.
Registrar George O. Foster and family will spend their vacation in the Ozarks. Prof. C. A. Dykatra and family will go to their summer home in Omena, Mich. Prof. J. J. Wheeler is in Chicago, where he is taking work at the summer school in Chicago. Prof. Erasmus Haworth and Dean F. W. Blackmar will remain in Lawrenc during the summer.

WHERE LIGHTNING HITS
Sleeping Porch With Tin Root Safe, Says Simpson
"If you want to be safe from the terrible storms which are frequent this year, sleep in a screened sleeping porch covered with a tin roof which is well grounded is the advice of Prof. Edward F. Stimpson in the department of physics.
The gas-pipe flag pole on Fowler Shops, which is much lower than the other buildings on the campus, was also struck twice by lightning before the pole was grounded, and since then it has not been struck. I do not believe that a person in a house with the windows open is any more likely to be struck by lightning than if the windows were closed."
"Lighting follows the general laws of nature" he added, and we know what things it is most likely to strike. The tower of the museum was first capped with terra cotta and it was twice struck by lightning within three months. It was re-capped with copper and it has not been struck since.
"The more points in a given space, the less likely is lightning to strike there," continued Professor Simpson. "The points are continually giving off electricity, and thus neutralize the potential difference between the clouds and the earth. A piece of barbed wire looped over the chimney and then over the ends of the house to ground smokes a good lightning rod. A cyclone cell is a place from lightning if it is well covered with soil, because the bolt of electricity scatters when it hits the earth.

TALKS ABOUT POETRY FACULTY IN WHO'S WHO
"What Makes Poetry Interesting?" is the question asked of those persons who attended chapel Friday by Prof. Arthur MacMurray of the department of public speaking. Professor MacMurray proceeded to express why interest in this subject, asking us and intermingled a number of readings to the delight of his hearers
"The majority of people will take a volume and read it without getting very much good out of it," said Professor MacMurray. "The thing that makes poetry interesting to humanity is to get them to realize what the poet thought when he wrote the poem and its relation to life. Many people have favorite poems on pretense only, many having never read what they pretend to admire, or having read they fail to really appreciate them, but pretend to because they are approved by critics.
"In my childhood when I read Long-fellow's Excelsior it meant very little to me. I thought there was very little to it in my school days. I had grown up quite a while before I really understood and then the poem became very interesting to me. A great many of us read poems without knowing what they mean. In the poem, Excelsior, Longfellow meant to portray a man of genius who passed through all hardships. Still pressing upward he passes the Alpine Village in the road, which is the world. He fails to heed the advice of the old man, of love and of religion offered by the Alphine monks, and died without accomplishing concretely his ambition but in diving hears the voices of Eternity around him.
"Another poem is the Raven. Few people know of what the raven is emblematic. Poe was a great believer in mechanical forms. He believed the essence of poetry was beauty worked out in mechanical length. In the poem he thinks of the most sorrowful thing in the world, death combined with joy. Poems describe the person who suffers the greatest sorrow is the bereaved lover. The Raven quoting "Nevermore" is symbolic of memory of a misspeet past."
Among the other poems Professor MacMurray explained was Poe's "The Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" and Kipling's "Recessional." Mr. MacMurray expressed great admiration for Fred Everton Brooks, the California poet, and said he was glad the old idea of praising the ancients and criticizing the present was dying with old age. The writer called "Old Ace," from the original explanation given him in an interview with Mr. Brooks.
THIRTY STUDENTS IN GYM CLASSES
At the close of the poem, "Old Ace," Mr. McMurray was recalled by the hearty applause of the students and responded by giving a parody on Barbara Fritchie in the German dialect.
Forty persons, two-thirds of whom are women, are enrolled in summer gym, classes. Practically every one is taking the teachers' course in order to better teach the classes in their respective schools this fall. The course is being conducted by Coach W. O. Hamilton, during the absence of Dr. James Naismith, and consists in the coaching of foot ball, basketball, baseball, track and tennis. Formerly the school worked on the teaching of working in basketball, but this had to be abandoned this year on account of the absence of Dr. Naismith.
Contrary to the general opinion, the students exhibit much more pep than do the regular session students. They laugh as they go through their drills and seemingly are indifferent to the stuffiness of the gym, as they listen to the lectures of Coach Hamilton.
Charles Chase, who has been attending the Summer Session, and who played first base with the University this spring, is now playing base ball with the Lewiston, Mont., Club in the Rocky Mountain League. Chase last year was a player for play games with the team and is to receive $100 for his services.

LAUDED DIXIE IDEALS
Supt. James M. Gwinn of New Orleans, Praised the South
NUMBER 11
IS REGAINING INFLUENCE
Position in National Affairs Strongest Since Civil War
The address, "Southern Ideals" given by M. James M. Gwinn, superintendent of schools of New Orleans in Blake Hall, yesterday afternoon, was one of the best which has been given at the University this summer. Mr. Gwinn said he gave a most interesting sketch of the southern life. He said in part:
"The fundamental American ideals are the ideals of the people of the Southland. The South is of the nation and holds in common with the ideals of our country those ideals which have given character and individuality to our nation."
"The decrease of southern influence in national governmental affairs in the years following the Civil War caused some to think the South apart from the rest of the nation. Recently the South has regained her position of influence in national affairs with a president, speaker of the house, mayor, and practice of southern blood, and separation tend to disappear.
"The South is more conservative than the North and held the early political and governmental ideal more inviolate—that it was less ready and able to change with changing conditions. In the war between the states we of the South believe the South contended for the original provisions of the Constitution, while the North stood for change. A change to meet the new conditions which all now recognize as necessary and wise.
"The South has not cared so much for accumulating wealth as other portions of the nation. The hurry and striving after the almighty dollar is not so characteristic of the South. The Southerner says, 'A wealth of worth rather than a worth of wealth. Makes men rather than money.'
"Southern hospitality is known well among the who have travelled through the South."
"The love of the past is strong in the South; 'Old times there are not forgotten. Our women love to count and account the 'greatful days and events before the war.'"

"Political rather than commercial and industrial aspects of society have attracted the attention of the southern man. The average southern man is likely to be interested in politics and culture, but not in community life. Rhetoric and oratory are natural products of this emphasis on the political side."
Good Crowds Saw the Mawson Antarctic Pictures
The Mawson Travel Pictures proved a big drawing card in Fraser church Wednesday and last night. Although icebergs ten or fifteen times as large were trailing up raiding blizzards were shown the temperature of the room was not affected.
The penguins waddled along flopping their wings, jumping into the cold water and then back to land. Large numbers were seen with seals and sea elephants as they stood gazing at the members of the Mawson party.
Pictures of peculiar ice formations and the icy crevasses where Lieutenant Nimmis lost his life were shown. The pervious trip of Sir Douglas Crew sent Nimmis and Dr. Mertz showed the dangers of traveling in the region.
The pictures were shown here as a result of some hard work by the Extension Department.
C. B. Watkins, a Summer Session student, spent Tuesday in Kansas City in conference with one of his teachers. Professor Watkins has charge of a ward school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He says that the breeze Mr. Oueland is mighty fine after coming from the hot climate of Oklahoma.

BUYS, SELLS AND BUYS
AGAIN DODGE CITY PAPER
Ross E. Busenbard, who was graduated from the University in June has bought, sold and bought back again the Dodge City Weekly Journal from C. T. Warren in the course of the last three weeks.
"Easy money" caused Busenbark to sell the paper back to Warren according to the Belpre Bulletin which is owned by a sister-in-law of Busenbark. Presumably it was some more of the same substance that caused Mr. Ross to become Ross Ross. Ross Busenbark was associated in the enterprise with his brother, Homer.
Mr. Warren is planning to move to Lawrence this summer and his daughter, Helen, will enter the University this fall.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Katherine Reding, who was a sophomore in the University last winter will spend her vacation in Colorado. Miss Reding with her parents and sister left last week in their car for a trip through Colorado. They carry their camping equipment with them to all of the campgrounds they the summer. During their journey they will visit Denver, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs.
One day last week when Prof. Arthur MacMurray picked up a book belonging to one of his star readers a dainty little powder puff fell to the floor. And you should have seen how much effort was required for the fractory article, so far it was done that those in the back seats could not understand just what had happened.
Max, the English bull terrier belonging to Dr. Alice Goetz, has just returned from the "Canine Beauty Parlors" at Kansas City, where he has been for the past month having his ears trimmed. He seems glad to get home although he is still a trifle touchy about his ears for they are still sensitive. But he will soon be able to put on all the airs proper to a full-blood English bull terrier with clipped ears.
The class in diplomacy under Prof. W. W. Davis took a good laugh Monday morning when V. D. Fulcrut, a Summer Session student, with a hand grip rushed into the class room in the Administration Building at exactly 7:30 o'clock. When asked if he had a hand grip, Dr. Fulcrut insisted that he did not have anything in his hand grip. He said he had made his usual Sunday evening trip to Bonner Springs, but had missed the last car back to Lawrence

MONEY NOT EVERYTHING
Dean Templin Points Out Other Things of Importance in Interview
When asked yesterday for his opinion regarding the recent resignations of professors from the College faculty Dean Olin Tempelin said:
"Personally, I confess I am glad to know that members of the University faculty are so appreciated, as is indicated by their election to other institutions, although I regret as much as any one can the fact that some of them have decided to make a change. These invitations to go elsewhere are the best evidence that the faculty is made up of men and women of ability. It would be the easiest thing in the world to get together a faculty that would never be disturbed in this way, but I doubt whether the people of Kansas want such a faculty as that. It may sound queer but I do not hesitate to say that I hope that those who are elected to fill these vacancies will very shortly be called for by such institutions as Chicago, Cornell and Wisconsin. I know of other members of our faculty who are right now on the waiting lists of other universities and may be called in the near future, fortunately, most of our best teachers have not been discovered. I could give other institutions some valuable pointers in that line.
"The matter of supreme importance is that those who faithfully and competently do the heavy work of the institution shall be appreciated and employed, but not they are so fortunate as to attract the attention of other institutions.
"Of course, Kansas can not compete in all respects with the greater universities of the land. They can offer advantages that are entirely out of our reach here, and will be for many years to come. The only thing for us to do is to do the best we can, gradually improve conditions, hold as many of the best men as we can, and let the others go and in their going form bonds of intimate union and sympathy with these great institutions. Even there these men can still serve Kansas, and serve her in ways in which she needs to be served, and in which others can not serve her.
"The departure of Professor Millis is a great loss to the University and so also is that of Professor Ogden and Professor Becker and many others that have gone before, but let us thank the Lord that they have been here, and let us do everything possible to find more like them."
Concerning the question of salaries a paragraph in the last annual reports of Dean Templin to the Chancellor deserves quotation. It is as follows:
"Relatively too much consideration, is often given to the question of salaries, important as that factor is in the building of a faculty. The chance of working under favorable conditions, the sympathetic appreciation of competent and faithful efforts, a realization of position, connection with an institution of undoubted standing in the academic world, confidence in the justice of the administration in its treatment of all alike, enough but not more teaching than is consistent with high standards and scholarly efforts in research and production—these things weigh more heavily with the best type of university men and women than does mere money. When these things can be secured and an intelligent policy of recruits a university faculty will be assembled that is competent, contented and creditable."
Ralph D. (Lefty) Sproull, who was operated on for appendicitis, at Shaw Hospital, Holton, Wednesday, July 5th, is recovering rapidly. He is past the danger point now, and is able to take nourishment.
The physician in charge says that he will be able to leave the hospital Sunday or Monday, but he will not have regained strength enough to take up summer work, at the beginning of the second term. Neither will he ever return to school as City Red Sox on the coast, as he had planned, being unable to participate in any athletics until late this fall, for fear of reopening the incision

Swimmers Can Use Potter Lake Remaining of Summer
Session
Ten more loads of sand were dumped into Potter's Lake Wednesday and as a result Summer session studious again have a clean place to swim in.
Although the first semester of the session ends next week, W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics announced yesterday that the lake would be open for at least four weeks longer with the usual guards in charge. At the request of the three guards, Adrian Lindsey, Scrubby Laslett, and Swede Kennedy, Manager Hamilton has issued the following rules to govern the conduct of swimmers at the lake.
(1) The lake will be under the control of the Department of physical training and will be used for the regular departmental work in swimming.
(2) No charge will be made to Summer School Students Regular enrolled In Swimming. (3) All others will be charged a fee of $1.00 for four weeks ending August 18. (4) Boys and girls under sixteen (16) years of age must furnish written permission of parent or guardian. (5) A guard and student instructor of swimming will be furnished but no responsibility for accidents will be assumed. (6) No swimming is permitted when guards are not in charge. (7) The hours for swimming are restricted to 9-12 and 2:00 o'clock to 8:30 o'clock. (8) Persons entitled to use the lake will be furnished a permit which must be granted before entering the lake. (9) The right is reserved to refuse a permit to use the lake any time. (10) No rowdyism will be mitted. (11) No swearing or obscent talk permitted. (12) No "ducking" permitted. (13) The boat is reserved for the use of the guard at all times. (14) All bathers must wear dark coated, neat and proper clothes. (15) Persons who will not observe the above reasonable rules will be barred from use of lake. (16) Howard Laslett, Adrian Lindsey and Swede Kennedy are placed in charge with full authority to enforce all above rules.
Special Notice. The guard is on hand to give assistance when ever necessary. Simulation of distress will be considered a breach of rules.
An extra guard, Carl P. (Swede Kennedy, has been put on the guard force at Potter's Lake by W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics. Swimming will now be permitted from nine to twelve o'clock in the morning and from two to nine o'clock in the evening.
"The practice, of men who cannot swim very well taking girls who cannot swim out to the raft, will also have to stop," said Mr. Hamilton. "The men do not realize the danger or they would not do such a thing."
"Water-wings and boards which are used to swim with beyond the ropes will be forbidden," said Mr. Hamilton. "Any man or woman who cannot swim without the aid of these will not be allowed to go outside of the ropes. Anyone failing to comply with the rules which are tacked up at the lake will forfeit their permits. The guards at the lake are ordered to enforce these rules. A guard will also be kept at the lake to see that no one goes in swimming outside of the regular hours."
Edward H. Taylor, A. B. University of Kansas, '12, who has spent four years in the civil service of the Philippine government, is enrolled at the University Session, completing his master's thesis on "The Reptiles of Kansas."
GRAD FROM PHILIPPINES
BACK FOR SUMMER WORK
Mr. Taylor served three years as superintendent of schools in the Philippine Bureau of Education, being transferred the last year to the Bureau of Science as chief of the department of fisheries. Recently he has established fish hatcheries for the breeding of both fresh and salt-water fish. A large aquarium in Manila, where about 200 living fish and many other sea animals are kept for public exhibition, is also under his charge.
He has been preparing a monograph on the reptiles of the Philippine Islands, and brought back with him about 400 specimens, which are at present housed in Snow Hall. On his return to the Islands in September, he will spend some time inspecting the fish hatcheries along the Pacific Coast.
He is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.

PROF. PATTerson TO BE A WAR CONSPONDENT
Prof. D. L. Patterson expects to sail from New York for France July 22, on the S. S. Lafayette the same day; on April Robert Flint sailed earlier this summer.
Professor Patterson will act as a correspondent for the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times while in France. He is very anxious to see actual fighting and to talk to the people of the belligerent nation and see what they think of the war. Professor Patterson has made two trips to Europe before, spending one year in study in Germany and in Italy. He expects to be back for the beginning of the fall semester in September.
Announcement was made last week of the engagement of Miss Catherine Stanley of Topeka, to Chas, S. Sturtevant of Cimarron. The wedding is to take place early in the fall. Mr. Sturtevant was formerly editor of theaily newspaper, and appeared a doctor in the department of journalism here this spring. At present he is the owner and manager of the Cimarron Jacksonian.
A visit to the home of her roommate and an operation for appendicitis were crowded into one week-end by Edna Sager. Miss Sager was visiting at her room-mate's home in Baldwin when she became seriously ill from Kansas City as called and an operation was formed at once. Miss Sager's parents arrived sometime after the operation. She is improving rapidly.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Miss Pauline MacCatherine, assistant in the business office, left on her vacation on the 8th. She expects to spend a part of her time at Pleasanton.
Rex Miller, c17, who received the Oxford Scholarship last fall when he took examinations in Latin and mathematics, took the Oxford Senior Local Examination in Greek Wednesday. Mr. Miller expects to sail for England some time in October where he will study modern history and economics.
One should feel cool when he looks along the curb and sees it apparently covered with snow, but somehow it only has the effect of intensifying the heat when he finds that the cool-looking stuff is only the cotton from the cottonwood trees.
Dorothy Beel, Edna Davis, Aline Wilson, from the School of Fine Arts will travel on a three-weeks' circuit this winter for the Epworth Lycum Bureau of Indianapolis. Miss Beel wrote a book about her life and is also the reader, Miss Davis who has a contralto voice, is the soloist.
Slime isn't a very pleasant subject for research, but H. P. Evans, assistant in the state chemical research spent the last week in Joplin collecting slime samples. This doesn't cast any reflections on Joplin as a slimy town, where worms were zine slimes and are to be used to further the rotation investigation.
Clair O'Donell, a former student in the University is spending the summer vacation here. He has also attended Washington University and Columbia.
The K. U. football team will lose another member this fall. Linus Fitzgerald, who is in Montana working on an engineering project has decided to attend the University there while he uses his work in engineering. Fitz was expected to take Wood's place on the team in case Wood did not return.
Fred Rodkey, track captain-elect,
has joined a Redpath chauquaa
crew in Nebraska and will spend the
summer in that work.
Chapel Today at 11:05
Everyone is requested to attend chapel today at the regular hour. Due to the intense heat there will be no chapel speaker but special announcements will be made by Dean F. J. Kelly.
There will be no more issue of the Summer Session Kansan and possibly no more chapel exercises. For this reason the Dean is anxious that every student meet for a few minutes at 11:05 today in Fraternity announcements concerning closing session and the one which will follow. The regular Friday's class schedule will be followed out today.
THE PARTY TONIGHT
Big Attendance Expected at All-University Affair in Gymnasium
TICKETS GOING RAPIDLY
Tags Find Ready Sale at Fifteen
Cents Each
With a heavy advance sale of tags, tonight's All-University Summer Session Party in Robinson Gymnasium promises to be a real success from every standpoint. Over one hundred instance tags have been sold already and total attendance of two hundred Summer Sessionists is expected.
With a big attendance assured the committee in charge headed by Dorothy Cole chairman, has put in some serious work. He will well justify the interest shown.
Although dancing with the three piece orchestra will be probably the biggest feature of the evening, the committee has arranged plenty of dancers dancing and guarantee every one will find plenty to keep them interested.
"Dates are" by no means necessary.
According to the ticket committee a man in his 40s was been sold to women making a "dated" offer, suitable for those who go without one.
INTO A DEMOCRATIC FIGHT
K. U. Interested in Gaftskill-
Lansdon Struggle
In a clever letter to his fellow students of the University, Joe Gaitskill, cheer leader of last year, this week urges all K. U. students to vote and use their influence for his father, Ben S. Gaitskill, of Girard, who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination of governor.
By an odd chance the University has a peculiar interest in the fight for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in the August primaries for the opposing candidate to Gaitan Larson, Lansdon, owner of the Salina Union baseball league, member of athletics before the coming of William Omar Hamilton in 1909.
Which ever man lands the nomination will have only Gov. Arthur Capper to face on the Republican ticket, the G. O. P.'s having placed no one in the field against the Topeka Capitol publisher.
SUMMER GRADUATE SCHOOL
NUMBERS 132 STUDENTS
About twenty of them have taken part of their graduate courses at some one of the following universities: Chicago, Columbia, Michigan, Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, or Wisconsin. About the same number are enrolled merely for research work or for the completion of their thesis.
The Graduate School of the Summer Session now numbers 132 students, about fifteen of whom, Dean Blackmar judges, will receive their master's degree at the close of the summer term.
The various professions are represented by one doctor, one minister, one farmer, and one civil service employee in the Philippine Islands; but by far the largest number are grade, high school, or college teachers. Among these are seventen superintendent of colleges and seven principals. These teachers come not only from Kansas schools, Oklahoma, Idaho, Missouri, Colorado, and South Dakota.
RAISE WAR BABY IF
YOU WANT A REAL KID
"If you would raise an ideal baby, raise a war baby," say the Phi Psis. Then you need never be kept awake nights by its crying or need to worry about its conduct when it grows up. A sum is spent monthly to support the after which baby will not cause the least trouble for another month. Yet the Phi Psis are as proud of their baby as if it were in their own home.
The support of war babies has become a nation wide movement, but the Phi Psis were the first in Lawrence to offer aid in the movement. Several other organizations expect to support war babies this fall.
Miss Grace Stokes visited with her sister, Bertha Stokes the first part of this week. Miss Stokes returned to her home in Kansas City Monday.

WHO IS TO BLAME?
Now that another member of the University faculty has resigned to accept a more remunerative position, the old question arises: "Who is to blame?"
Mr. Scott Hopkins, a former regent of the University, says that "there will be no let up in the exodus of big men from the University until the Board of Administration changes its policy."
President Hackney replies that "We would have ghdly raised the salaries of Twenhoff, Becker and Ogden if the Chancellor had recommended it."
But how could Chancellor Strong have recommended a bigger salary if the Board had no money to pay the 'increase with?' In order to keep the salaries of all the faculty proportionate, such action might call for other increases.
The whole trouble lies not with the Board, nor with the Chancellor, but with the system, or rather lack of it, by which the funds necessary to the operation of the University come from a legislature composed of politicians who are looking after their own political hides. It makes no difference to the legislator what kind of an education the young men of their communities get, as long as each legislator keep his own personal popularity.
THE DEAN'S REPORT
in the legislative hall at Topeka there are any number of unnecessary doorkeepers, and fifty second-assistant elevator boys at high salaries, while at the University large classes are being held in basement rooms under instructors and professors who, after they have spent years in study and research, receive but little more than the supernumeraries at Topeka.
Out of an enrollment of three thousand, there are certain to be many students who will carry indulgence in athletics or society to an extreme. It is those persons who do the University more harm through undesirable notoriety, than all the social and athletic activities of the ordinary student.
The paragraph in the report of Dean Templin which called attention to the fact that social activities occupy too much of the students' time at the University to make the best scholarship possible, is not to be construed as a broad slap at all University social and athletic events.
Leaving out the impression these students make for the University upon the outsider and the state at large, more important yet is the atmosphere created at the University that real scholastic work does not count and that K. U. is nothing but a four year joy ride and "finishing"
THE LITTLE THINGS
The doors in Fraser Hall are very heavy. He knew it well. She was just stepping toward the door. He quickly stepped to her side and pushed it open. It's the little things that count.
WOULD WOMEN GO TO WAR?
A few weeks ago some of the girls said the boys were not patriotic, because they were slow to enlist. They said, "if we were boys nothing could keep us from going." It is easy to tell what we would do if we were somebody else. Why not let these enthusiastic maidens go to the front to act as nurses.
If at first you don't succeed, try a gas attack.
"It is it hot enough for you," was asked of a co-ed in the library, who was industriously pouring over a huge volume, while the perspiration stood out in bends upon her forehead.
WHY WORRY?
"Oh isn't it funny?" she answered. "I am getting quite used to it,—this is my third summer."
How many of us are as cheerful and optimistic? It is so much more natural to grumble about the heat, to feel ourselves the worst abused creatures under the sun, because we have to work in Summer Session, in fact, because we are in summer school at all.
And yet, of what use is the worry, the fret, the complaint, just because we are a little uncomfortable or because we have not an electric fan apiece? It is never so bad but it might be worse, and the National Guards stationed on the Mexican border would undoubtedly appreciate some of Mount Oread's breezes.
And so, like the third timer, why not try to see the funny side, and get used to studying in hot weather, and thinking how we would enjoy some of it next winter.
Cheer up, for summer is rapidly passing and will be gone before we know it.
"PASS THE PRAIRIE DOG"
The prairie dog is to be tamed, civilized and introduced into the best carniverous society along with beef, pork, venison and mutton. A government expert, who has often partaken of fried prairie dog is going to do this service for the prairie dog and for humanity.
The expert says that there is no other animal which leads a life that fits him more exactly for human food than the prairie dog. Let us hope that the Kansas prairie dog will change his habits before fried prairie dog occupies a place on the menu of the K. U, boarding house.
THE OLDEST TEACHER
The profession of teaching may cut short many a young woman's life yet such did not happen to Louise Brayton Sawin of Madison, Wisconsin, who perhaps is the oldest ex-teacher living in the United States. She has now passed the century mark having celebrated her 100th birthday May 23.
When Madison was yet an infant city Louise B. Sawin held the position of the first teacher in its schools. In that city she has passed many years and today still clings to the memories of those early days. She still lives in Madison and takes an active interest in educational work and plans.

A report says that the swimming pool is to be filled to the top, thus making it eight or ten feet deep. In behalf of the many beginners who have not yet learned to feel safe on top of the water but continually seek the bottom of the pool either intentionally, or more often accidently this protest against more water is made. Some women have entered the pool this last week for the first time and had anticipated enjoying it the remainder of the term and this news of a full pool is not at all to their liking.
Safety first may be carried to an extreme but yet as there are so many women who come to the pool regularly who cannot even swim across it once it seems an injustice to deprive them of trying to learn. This is what deep water will mean, for, from a canvas of the women in the pool there was unanimous dissent against more water and practically every one said she would not come if the water were made deeper.
Those who like deep water and are able to swim have long since wended their way to the larger swimming hole of Potter's and in justice to the rest it seems that the indoor pool should be left at its present depth.

Glimpses of Interesting K. U. Scenes Through the Eyes of the Jayhawker
THE EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL
I Don't Smoke.
A letter home—the Summer Session Kansan.
100
If the reader sincerely believes that smoking is a harmless habit and will state his reasons, the writer will state two reasons why a young man should not smoke for every reason stated in its defense.
Do the smokers learn to use the weed after coming to the University or did they learn it in the small town? . . . If he is a smoker when he becomes a student, is it likely that he will refrain when the habit is so popular as it is here? The writer does not regularly use tobacco until coming here, but now are as big smokers as any on the Hill. . . .
A
"I Smoke" in the last issue of the Kansan, grants that there are more smokers in K. U. than in the other Kansas College; but justifies this because the other institutions are denominational schools, and the church which contributes to their support, taboos the use of tobacco; while K. U. is a state institution where all such privileges are granted that do not "interfere with the welfare of others." Does he not know that a body of students are intimately related in a college setting? The influence is even not confined to the campus, but is felt in the high schools over the state? . . . Just as the college student defends his use of tobacco by citation to members of the faculty, so a high school boy points to the marigold up.
to accumulate; the next thousand,
to easier and additional ones correspondingly easier; in like manner it takes
more time to work to effect the first half of a reform
In the University of Kansas, whose purpose is, making big men with big ideas and zeal for service; it seems strange . . . . that there are students who indulge in a habit that saps physical strength by poisoning the system, weakens moral fiber, and has a depriving influence upon the victim. And yet, these tobacco friends not only use the weed, but to try to disfuse its use. Can it be that they are unaware of its injurious effects? . . . For those who contend their harmlessness upon the system, I ask that they recall, if possible, their first chew of tobacco or their first smoke. Was it enjoyed? If smoke has so clouded the brain that this first experience cannot be recalled give your little five or six year old brother a chew or a cigarette; or if you be a father, your little son will do. If it is not poisonous, why the pallid face, the twitching nerves?

After passing the state bar examination, Roland E. Boynton thought he needed a vacation before hanging up his shingle, so spent a few days in St. Joe visiting friends and then a week in Chicago enjoying the lakes. "I did not realize that there were so many automobiles in the world as I saw on Michigan avenue in ten minutes," said Boynton. After August first Mr. Boynton will have a law office at Emporia.

STUART WALKER AGAIN
To Bring Portmanteau Theatre to University in March
Stuart Walker, who lectured at the University last November concerning his Portmanteau Theatre will bring this baby of the Midget Playhouse Family to Lawrence during the week of March 18, 1917, when an evening performance will be given on the Hill. The story of the Bandbox-Vest Pocket-Shawl Strap—or Portmanteau Theatre and its designer, Stuart Walker, reads like a fairy tale, beginning in the old fascinating way; Once upon a time, there was a boy dreamer who, with plaster figures produced plays in a boy theatre until, shamed by the laughter of the neighbors, they hid them in hedges away. In the busy school days that followed the ball all but forgot his dream of real figures moving on a real stage at his direction.
Then came college, Presto, the old love of play-acting awakens, and with what a field in which to develop! The scenes of the boy's life shift again to the dull monotony of a lumber camp; but not for long. The boy ran away, of course to New York, the Mecca of all playwrights and journalists, and became stage director for David Belasco for six years.
But the boy in the man dreamed of a theatre for the children of New York's east side and it is that realized dream, the tiniest theatre in the world, that comes to Lawrence next spring.
Mr. Walker is not only an actor of ability, and a stage director of note; he is also a playwright and has written several plays which are included in the Portmanteau Theatre Company's repertoire for the season.
The list of plays for the coming season includes "The Lady of The Weeping Willow Tree," "Gammer Gurton's Needle," "The Leaf in the Wind," "The Golden Doom," "Nevertheless," "Love's Labor Lost," "The Crier By Night," "Six Who Pass While The Lentils Boil," "The Trimplet," and "The Window Garden."
Francis Stevens, son of Professor Stevens of the department of biology had a part in "The Trimplet" and the Six Who Pass While the Lentils Blend" performance at Christodora House, a Jewish settlement in New York.

Four Thousand Dollars For Attrac
DONALD D. DAVIS,
Director of Publicity.
No wonder friends of Don Davis, junior College, stared when they read a letter yesterday from Downs written on the above stationery. The letter addressed to a member of the faculty follows:
Downs, Kans, July 7, 1916.
Dear Professor:
Special—the Ambrosia ice at Wiemann's—Adv.
I mailed you yesterday two copies of the Downs "News and Times," one on a week old, the other dated July 6. Just wanted to show you how different the old home town sheet looked after being inoculated with herpes, which caused her genitalis germ. We had quite a time, get acquainted set up; but I think there's a little improvement in the looks of the sheet, and I hope for more in the future.
Manage to keep very busy holding down three jobs at present: Press agent for the Celebration, reporter on the "News," and assistant soda squirt at one of the drug stores during the celebration of combination of jobs surely makes the hydra lucr pile up in my bank account. I don't have time to spend any!
Clifford A. Altman, A. B.'14, A. M.'15, has accepted the position as chemist for the Peet Bros. Manufacturing Co. at Kansas City. Mrs. Altman, formerly Genevieve Sterling, and two children, Jean and Allan, will visit in Lawrence with Mrs. Altmann's father, Professor Sterling, before locating in Kansas City.
Don Davis
We're getting out a 16-page special edition for the Celebration. Having a lot of trouble, too; as we haven't enough type in the office to set headlines. I'll send you a copy on July 13.
Yours sincerely, Don Davis
A letter home—the Summer Session Kansan.
HEADS FIGHT TO PREVENT LEGAL HANGING IN KANSAS
As president of the American League for the Prevention of Legalized Crime, B. W. Lindbergh, a Summer Session student is actively pushing the campaign to save the life of Robert Strout, convicted murdered, who is under sentence of death in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, who is charged following prisoner and although declared insane by every court that has examined him, stands an excellent chance of being hanged this fall. His execution would be the first legal hanging to take place in Kansas in twenty years.
Y. M. C. A. OPEN TO ALL
Room Lists and Employment Bureau Are Maintained at Myers Hall
The Y. M. C. A. is open to all men attending the Summer Session, where at any time they are welcome to all the privileges it offers. An employment bureau is maintained and also a list of all rooming places for new
Literature may be found there which deals with the ethical problems of the boy. Hugo T. Wadell, the general secretary, says that he would like to have men who have problems to solve in regard to high school Y. M. C. A. clubs.
The employment bureau of the Y. M. C. A, has found work for twelve Summer Session students who are earning their way through college, studying or working on table waiting, dish washing, caring for lawns and numerous other jobs.
Mr. Wedell says that, if anyone wishes a job he should file his applification him and he will act as a medium between him and those wishing to employ help.
There are around one thousand rooms listed varying in price and conveniences, the prices being about the same as they were last year. Men who enter the University in the fall can get a list of the rooms at the secretary's office in Myers Hall. As soon as the rooms are taken the secretary is notified and they are scratched from the list.
The mineral and unsavory vegetable substance in Lawrence city water have been determined in experiments done at the city water plant with the co-operation of Prof. C. C. Young, and a successful way of eliminating them has been devised. The salts of calcium, magnesium and of iron make the water hard, and a moss growing in the sedimentation reservoirs at the city plant is responsible for the color and odor.
The result of Mr. Young's experiment is given in Bulletin No. 1 of the Division of Chemical Research which is nearly ready for distribution. The report concludes with the statement that Lawrence water can be freed iron by proper aeration, followed by sedimentation and filtration.
To avoid the use of city water for drinking purposes, the University supplies distilled water. "The bill was $20.90 for May, and will be about $25.00 for June," said Registrar Geo. O. Foster.
A fine place to stop after the picture show. Reynolds.—Adv.
Those in charge of the Water Laboratory said that the danger of sewer contamination and typhoid were more to be feared than the presence of iron. "You would have to drink a lot," she said, to get enough to hurt him, said Prafanis, head of the department of chemistry, "The trouble is it takes more soap."
"No trouble that is due to the presence of iron salts," said Doctor John Sundwall, "has come to my notice as a result of drinking the city water. It is true, that in excessive quantities, they are harmful."
To avoid the cost of distilled water and get a product as palatable, a professor of the University recommends putting a lump of lime the size of a pea in a bucket of water, boiling the water until it is inside to cool. By the time it is cool the drugs are settled and the pure water may be poured for drinking.
Back Home!
The middle of next week will see a number of you students on your way back home for the rest of the summer. You will doubtless be in a hurry or get there once you are started.
If your way home lies between here and Kansas City it will doubtless be in a hurry to get there once you are car for Kansas City and intermediate points every hour of the day.
Professor Young Finds Way to Soften It and Remove Iron
The big comfortable cars leave Lawrence at forty minutes past every hour, and they get you into Kansas City in an hour and forty-five minutes. And the fare is only seventy-two cents. It pays to ride

Nearly five hundred teachers pursued courses through correspondence with the University of Kansas during the past year. Some of these are continuing this work through the summer.
By this means, credits may be secured towards the Bachelors' degrees and the University Teachers' Diploma. Many teachers find in these courses an opportunity to review and broaden their knowledge of subjects they are teaching.
Several students of the summer session are now arranging their correspondence study courses for next year. Some will secure additional credits during the remainder of the vacation. If you are planning on taking correspondence work this summer or next year, delay may be avoided by selecting your courses and making definite arrangements before leaving the University. A fee of $10.00 entitles residents of Kansas to correspondence instruction for a period of twelve months. Courses are offered in the following subjects:

IN ST. LOUIS TOURNAMENT
Uhls and Teachener Represented K. U. in Tennis Classic
Kenneth Uhls returned from St Louis, Monday, where he had been participating in the Central States Tennis Tournament. There were sixty-eight entries in the tournament, Uhls being in the last eight to be eliminated. In the doubles Uhls' partner broke his arch during the first game, thus causing their withdrawal. The two Japanese stars who recently played in Kansas City, caused the honors in both of their singles and doubles, the man who put Uhls out, doubles were divided into different sections of the central states, the winners of the different sections going to Chicago to participate in the United States tournament.
Uhls says that the promoters believed that the best was none too good, for the entertainment provided was excellent; a big Packard car at the disposal of each man, and eats that make you remember your host for ever.
Dix Teachener, captain of the team this spring, was unfortunate in that he drew for a partner a man of medicine ability, and the team was quickly defeated. Had Teachener's partner been a man of his ability, the common opinion was that they would have beaten the Japanese stars, for Teachener played the classiest tennis of any of the entries.

Summer Session Baseball Team Lost 5-2 and Took Second Place
Place
(By Walter Kauder)
(By Walter Kauder)
The Y, M, C. A, pushed the Summer Session team into second place last night, when it handed them a 5 to 2 defeat.
A misunderstanding as to the place of the game, resulted in but seven Summer Sessionists appearing, making it necessary to play the game with but one man in the outfield, and flies that ordinarily would have resulted in easy outs went as clean hits. Due credit must be given to the pitching of Uhrlaub of the Y. M. C. A, who allowed but four hits.
Wedell, pitching for the Summer Session team, had an off day, being hit harder than he has been any time this season, yet with a full team the result might have been different. Unless more interest is shown the Summer Session team will have to disband. This seems foolish as the best material in the school is needed in the summer school. The team meets Haskell tonight, and everyone should make an especial effort to get out and encourage the team.
Haskell defeated the K. and L. of S. at Haskell Tuesday night by a 9 to 7 score.
The standing now is:

MANY "WHYS" FOR IT
Reasons for Faulty School System Varied
"There are 1700 answers to that question," said Prof. Arvin Olin when asked to answer the question, "What is the matter with our school system?" Other professors put it even higher and say that the number is 2000.
Dean Kelly's answer was "The thing that is the matter with our school is that there are too many kickers."
Prof. E. M. Hopkins answered,
"Let the people find fault. Say to
them, 'All that you say is true.' If
you will furnish the fund we will
remedy the fault." According to Prof.
Hopkins the teacher is not paid a high enough salary to induce him to spend his time and money in preparing to teach the subjects as they should be taught. And the grade school as well as the University should have only specialists for teachers. Whenever the mass of people will provide the funds the schools will in time reach the ideal condition as nearly as an ideal can be reached.
Prof. Raymond Schwegler took an optimistic view and said: "There is nothing radically wrong with our school system." Professor Schwegler agrees with Dean Kelly and Prof. A. C. Buckner that our schools are better than they have ever before been and are rapidly improving what is needed and are meeting the need as rapidly as is possible.
The Board of Administration was in session all day Wednesday discussing vacancies in the faculty which must be filled by the first of September. A number of applications have been considered but none accepted as yet.

SUCCESSOR TO LIEUT BRIGGS
Prof. August R. Krehbiel was hired to teach German during the last four weeks to take the place of Professor Briggs who is in Mexico with Company M of the Kansas National Guard. Professor Krehbiel is a K. U. professor at Columbia University in the East. He comes here from the faculty of the University of Iowa.
Dr. E. W. Burgess K. U. assistant professor of sociology for two years has accepted a position in sociology at the University of Chicago. Professor Burgess resigned here a year ago to accept a much better offer from Ohio State University. In going to Chicago he goes back to the department in which he did all of his graduate work.
Prof. Burgess to Chicago U.
Prof. E. B. Stouffer will leave next week for an extended trip through the east, he will go to Boston to attend the meetings of the American Mathematical Association, the National Mathematical Association.
Archie Wieth, graduate from the department of chemistry in 08 and a fellow in industrial research, stopped off a few days in Lawrence while on his summer's vacation. Mr. Wieth is at present with the Amberoids Product Company of Chicago.
Louise Craig, 18, and Forrest Miller, 19, Get Degrees This Summer
Two of the youngest persons who have ever been graduated from the University of Kansas are candidates for bachelor degrees this summer. They are Louise Harriet Craig, an eighteen year old negro girl and Forrest J. Miller, 19 years old.
Miss Craig graduated from the M. Street high school, a negro school of Washington, D. C., in 1913. She was then fifteen years of age. She entered the University the following autumn and met her work here in three years.
Miss Craig's parents are both graduates of the University. In '95, her father, A. U. Craig was graduated from the School of Engineering and her mother from the College. Mr. Craig has been a professor of civics in the Howard University, a negro school in the city of Washington, since 1900. Miss Craig's mother has property in Lawrence and is now making her home here. Miss Craig's home is in Washington, D. C.
Miss Craig wants to teach, and hopes later to take her master's degree. At present she plans to teach a few years before completing her work. Her ambition is to become an instructor in either the M. Street high school or the Howard University of Washington, D. C.
Forrest Miller, who entered the University of Kansas at the age of 14, was the youngest student ever to enter the University at Lawrence.
Miller completed the common school course of the state at the age of 10, but because of his age he did not enter high school until the following year. Miller completed the course in three years and was graduated from the Sabeth high school at the age of 14. That fail he matriculated at the state University. Because of illness he was compelled to discontinue his college course for a year, which will make him just 19 years old when he receives his degree.
**g** his work in the Miller will go to
After completing his work in the Summer Session, Miller will go to Oxford, III., where he takes a position with the American Radiator company.
VISITED THE POOR FARM
Social Pathology Class Will Also Inspect State Prison Tomorrow
The class in social pathology conducted by Dean Blackmar visited the Douglas County Home for the Unfortunately, southeast of Lawrence recently. The visit was made for the charitable and corrective agencies.
Two hours were spent in looking over the grounds, buildings and interviewing Mr. Jesse Pieratt and his wife who are in charge. They were very courteous and answered frankly all questions of the class. Mr. Pieratt said he is always glad to have visitors who are interested in how Douglas County takes care of its unfortunate, injured child he will appreciate if any one has magazines or periodicals will call up and he will gladly call for them as the county makes no provision for reading matter.
The class studied with reference to the large buildings and cottage plan, while the women were especially interested in the kitchen and laundry arrangements. The class reported orally on conditions and made suggestions for the improvement of the home. Saturday the class will go to Lansing to study prison conditions at the Kansas state prison.

Students who have to be at their classes at eight o'clock in the morning should be thankful that they do not have to come to their studies as the ornithology class has to. This class in field work starts at 5 o'clock, the object of the early meeting is due to the fact that the birds that they study are in the best of spirits early in the day.
