CRITICISES SOCIOLOGISTS.
Cosmopolitan Opposed to Modern Ideas of Society.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar together with Edward A. Ross, of the University of Wisconsin, and F. H. Giddings, of Columbia, and other prominent instructors in sociology in different universities in the country, comes under the criticism of one Harold Bolce in the May number of the Cosmopolitan. Under the somewhat startling and distinctly misleading title of "Blasting at the Rock of Ages," Mr. Bolce gives some of the results of his study of American colleges extending over a period of two years. He reports the statements of professors of sociology to illustrate what seems to him the destructive teaching in our higher institutions of learning. To Professor Blackmar he gives comparatively little attention and merely quotes with disapproval that Professor Blackmar teaches that "the standards of right perpetually change in social life, the varying standards being found not only in different races but in the same race from age to age."
The article by Mr. Bolce has attracted the attention especially of the religious journals some of which are publishing critical comment as reported in the last issue of the Literary Digest. The Western Christian Advocate, of Cincinnati, admits the importance of Mr. Bolce's reports if his angle of vision is accurate but charges him with amazing ignorance of the primary principles of social science. It further says that the
proof offered by Mr. Bolce for his radical and damaging statements consists of isolated sentences torn bodily from their connection, given without any explanation of their context and then subjected to the distorting influence of his own prejudice and warped conceptions. In short, the Advocate considers the Cosmopolitan article a bad type of yellow journalism and published only for sensational and revenue purposes.

President of State Board of Control Told of State Institutions.
Hon. H. C. Bowman, of Topeka, attorney and acting president of the State Board of Control, spoke in chapel Friday morning in regard to the institutions under his control. He said that though they were not naturally interesting to us every person in Kansas who was so unfortunate as to have a member of the family in any one of the institutions was glad to know that their inmates received adequate attention.
Mr. Bowman mentioned the various private agencies at work in Kansas over which the Board of Control exercised a close supervision. While some of them are accomplishing good results he believed that it would be better if others were directly operated by the state. The main work of the Board is the management and control of the nine public institutions. Among these are the schools for the different classes of unfortunates and delinquents in which much is done for the improvement of the inmates and thus for the subsequent welfare of the state
Mr. Bowmangave a few details about the insane, the brain sickened wards of the state, and the asylums in which they were given care. He closed by emphasizing the importance of efficient heads for the institutions and paying a general tribute to those who now have the responsibility upon them.
