NEW SCHOOL TO BE HIGH GRADE
WILL STUDY PROBLEMS OF EDUCATION.
Dr. Johnston Will Take Charge of the New Work September 1, 1910.
The new School of Education of the University of Kansas which will be headed by Dr. Chas Hughes Johnston, now of Michigan, will be organized with a special view to meeting the problems that are now demanding solution in education. "The work will be high grade," said Chancellor Strong, this morning, "with special attention to graduate study and research." The organization of the School will probably not be entirely completed until Dr Johnston takes up his new duties
DR. CHARLES H. JOHNSTON.
at the University, September 1. The work of the new School will be to investigate the fundamental principles of education. It will duplicate to as small a degree as possible such work as is done at the State Normal school. Instead of placing the emphasis on the work of preparing teachers to hold positions, it will be placed on studying the basic principles on which teaching is done.
Dr. Johnston is specially fitted to develop the growth of the school in this field, to which little attention has been given in the Middle West. He has spent years in research work, and has to his credit a long list of articles published in the leading educational magazines. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina but has done all of his work in the North since leaving that university.
When the School was first authorized by the Board of Regents it was planned to include in its jurisdiction the departments of University extension and school visitation. This will not be done The two departments will be kept independent of all Schools of the University, as they touch equally all kinds of University work.
Their Last Party.
The class of 1911 is to finish its series of parties as the close of 1911, on Friday evening. That evening at Fraternal Aid hall they will give their last party except the Junior prom. In order to leave a good impression of the class, the social committee is making special preparations to make this the best party of the year. Shanty's full orchestra will furnish the music for the dancing, which will begin at 9 o'clock. Although the committee will have added expenses, the price of admission will be the usual sum of 75 cents.-Adv.

ON GERMAN SCHOOLS.
Prof. J. A Campbell in Chapel Yesterday.
Prof. J. A. Campbell spoke in chapel yesterday morning in regard to the work in Prussian secondary schools as observed by him last year while he was acting in the capacity of an exchange professor in Germany. "These schools," he said, "present courses of three types: classical, modern languages and science, and a combination of the first two Nine years is required for each course and the ten-year-old boy must decide which of the courses will receive his attention. By the age of 12 the boy or his parents for him is practically forced to determine the line of study for his life work.
"Even in the preparatory school the German boy is under rigid discipline. His parents combine with instructors to keep a close oversight of his work. If he faib in one study he must take his entire list of studies over again the next year. He receives a complete quiz at the end of his nine-year course and here again he must take another year if he fails in even one subject. Thus the young German school boy has a more thorough knowledge of books than his American cousin, though he may have a less comprehensive view of life in general."
The German universities allow no students to enter without having fully completed entrance requirements. Professor Campbell said that while the students lack social organizations and some other advantages they have some compensations. In the winter they have occasional free afternoons for skating, and in the summer some cessation on very hot days.
TO BE ASSISTANT CURATOR
Entomological Department Adds Faculty Member.
Mr. Francis Williams, Leland Stanford, '08, arrived at the University this week to take up work as a new member of the department of entomology. He will be assistant curator of the entomological collections.
Mr. Williams leaves a position in San Francisco on the staff of the state entomoligis there in order to devote himself to his chosen field. He has published, in the leading entomological journals several important papers and has devoted himself especially to the Lepidoptera. Mr. Williams was the entomologist for the famous scientific expedition to the Galapagos islands.
SPOKE TO Y. W. C. A.
Juvenile Court Judge Tells of His Work.
"We come into the world with the instincts of animals. We have no idea of right and wrong until we are educated to have," said Judge Hugh Means, of the juvenile court, in his talk at the Y. W. C. A. meeting yesterday afternoon.
Football Men Not to Wrestle.
This theory Judge Means puts into practice in his dealings with offenders who come under his jurisdiction. He says the word "judge," in regard to the juvenile court is a misnomer,—that he rather talks to the little scoundrels, as he calls them, to see what he can get out of them about their life and their point of view of things.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, the high school visitor of the University, attended the fifteenth annual meeting of the North Central association of colleges ad secondary schools at Chicago last Friday and Saturday.
As a result of many injuries to the University of Pennsylvania wrestlers this year, Mike Murphy, the athletic trainer of that institution, has forbidden the football men to appear on the mat. Heretofore Murphy has always urged the kickers of the football squad to wrestle, contending that it was one of the best exercises for developing strength and speed, but recent accidents have changed his opinion.
