BELL PHONES IN OPERATION THURSDAY MORNING.
Complete System, with 120 Phones Has Been Installed at a Cost of $25,000.
A complete local telephone system in the University has been installed by the Bell Telephone Company and will be opened for public use tomorrow morning. The charging of the batteries which is now going on will be finished during the night. And then only a "hello girl" at the central board in the Registrar's office will be needed to make it possible for one to talk to any office, shop or laboratory throughout the University from any place in town, or out of town where a Bell phone can be found.
The system, which has cost the Bell Company $25,000, is larger and better than most towns of 5,000 population have. It is a central energy while the magnet system is used in most small towns. A complete charging plant and set of storage batteries are located in the basement of Fraser Hall. The switch board has a capacity of 360 lines and a present equipment of 120. There are 80 working lines on it now, and five trunk lines connect it with the down town centrals.
Twelve booths have been placed around, two in each building, one for local use and the other for long distance talking. The eighty phones appear cross indexed 220 times in the directory so it will be very easy to find any number you wish. The work of installation was in charge of D. Lyle, E. E.'04, of Armour Institute, Chicago.

"THE MAN IN OVERALLS."
A Large Crowd Heard Rev. Tanner in Chapel Tuesday.
Rev. A. A. Tanner, of Alton Illinois, addressed a large audience yesterday afternoon in the chapel on the subject, "The Man in Overalls." Throughout his talk he showed that the characteristics of the man in overalls bore a very close relation to the conditions under which he worked and lived. Mr. Tanner spoke from first hand knowledge of the drunkenness, immorality, profanity and other vices of the workingman in the factory, in their relation to the conditions which foster them. He dwelt strongly upon the pathos of the life of such a man, the constant fear of being out of work, and the monotony of the work he is forced to do to make a living.
In contrast to all this, Mr. Tanner spoke of the warmheartedness of the laboring man toward his fellow-men. The whole subject was handled with a sympathy born of personal knowledge, a sympathy which the speaker has gained by working side by side with the man in overalls. Mr. Tanner closed his address with an appeal for better conditions which will permit the man in overalls to be a man, not a machine.
At the election last fall, fortythree Kansas counties adopted the provision of the Barnes' law with reference to high schools. These counties with the twenty-two already supporting county high schools make a total of sixty-five counties with high schools that fully prepare for the Freshman class of the state university. Allen and Marshall counties have the largest number of high schools meeting the requirements of the law, Allen having six and Marshall five schools that prepare students for the Freshman class of the University.

Blue Rapids and Lincoln High Schools Soon To Be Accredited.
Professor Johnson the high school visitor has returned from a trip to the Lincoln Central High School in Lincoln county. This school is making such improvements in its faculty and general equipment, as will soon enable it to enter the list of accredited schools.
The Blue Rapids high school is also trying to get in line. On the night of March 1, a meeting of all the citizens was held in the opera house for the purpose of considering the needs of the high school that would, when supplied, bring it up to class 2 among the high schools in the counties that have adopted the Barnes law. Professor Johnson addressed the meeting, explaining fully the requirements which the University lay upon the accredited schools. Beside the business of the meeting there was a very excellent program furnished by the high school students.
SECOND PERFORMANCE BEST.
Saturday Night's Show Netted MacDowell Fund $120.
The second performance of "The Pirates of Penzance" given Saturday night was better in every way than the first. While there was not a full house as on the first night, the attendance was good and the crowd was an enthusiastic one. Several more encores were called for than at the first performance.
On Thursday night the play was given under difficulties. The bad weather caused delay and the play had to begin before all the principals had reached the opera house. After such a beginning the tension behind the scenes was pretty acute all through the play and it is much to the credit of the cast that there was so little evidence of it on the stage. On Saturday night there were no unfavorable circumstances. The players felt at ease and appeared at their best.
The net proceeds of Saturday's performance amounted to about $120 which will be given to the MacDowell fund.
