KANSAS TAKES THE FIRST FROM AMES
VICTORY CAME BY A SCORE OF 41 TO 21.
The Contest in Basket-Ball Last Night Was Fast and Rather Rough.
The Kansas basket-ball five came out victorious in the second contest of the season with Ames last night by a 41 to 21 score. The game was played on the Robinson gymnasium court and was witnessed by a fair sized crowd of spectators.
The contest was fast enough and more or less rough. Early in the second half a toss for the basket resulted in a broken goal and the teams were compelled to finish the game on one of the shorter courts.
The first half gave Kansas a fifteen point lead. In the second part of the contest K. U. lead with five points more.
V. Long lead in basket-shooting for K. U., while Mosher was the Ames star. The second game of the series will be played tonight. The line-up follows:
Ames. Kansas.
Brown... C ...Heiser
Weiss... R. F. ...Stucky and Johnson
Kerrigan... L. F. ...V. Long and F.Long
Mosher... R. G..Douseman
Chappel... L. G. ..Larson
PHILIPPINE EDUCATION.
Search Is Being Made for Teachers for the Islands.
Emporia Gazette.
George N. Briggs, superintendent of the Philippine Normal Schools at Manila, P. I., addressed the Normal students this morning at chapel. He has been at the Normal since yesterday, interviewing men who wish to teach in the Philippines. He spent the past month visiting various educational institutions of the United States for the purpose of selecting a number of qualified teachers to take to the Islands with him. Mr. Briggs was educated in the United States, and has been teaching in the Philippines since 1901. This morning he outlined briefly the history of the government's work in establishing an educational system in the Islands, since the American occupation. He gave also as a reason for the employment of men teachers alone the fact that a great deal of the supervision there necessitates much travel under unfavorable conditions. Here are some statistics he gives concerning the
One university, including a college of liberal arts, one each of medicine, agriculture, engineering, fine arts and veterinary science.
Philippine Islands, for the school year 1909-10:

There are 3,083 high school students, 21,304 intermediate school students, 562,930 primary school students.
The school officials and teachers include one director of education, two assistant directors, forty superintendents, 429 supervisors, 732 American teachers, 8,275 Filipine teachers; $3,237,663.40 was expended for schools during the fiscal year 1909-10.
INFLUENCE DOES NOT DIE.
Rev. Elderkin Told of Its Eternal Significance.
"You may secoff at personal immortality, but you can not secoff at impersonal immortality," said Rev. Noble E. Elderkin, pastor of the Lawrence Congregational church in chapel Friday morning in a vigorous discussion of the indestructibility of influence. He referred to the works of such men as Gough and Livingstone and said that the soul's vibration knows nothing of time and space.
"Not only good but bad influence continues indefinitely. Vice in you means that vice in the world will continue just that much longer," insisted Mr. Elderkin as a concrete example of the continuity of good Mr. Elderkin graphically sketched incidents in the lives of Moody, Dr. Grenfell and Norman Duncan, America has been thrilled by the Labrador rescue work story and the influence has been felt in the laymen's missionary movement, he said.
MANY AILMENTS AMONG STUDENTS
"I would emphasize the eternal significance of every word, look, and thought of ours." said Mr. Elderkin. "Each man lives in the future as a savior or as a blaster."

NEARLY FORTY PERCENT ILL OF WINTER DISEASES.
LaGrippe and Scarlet Fever Prevalent—Dr. Naismith Plans to Avoid Coasting Accidents.
"Nearly 40 per cent of the students of the University are now in the grasp of the usual winter ailments, such as la gripe, influenza, scarlet fever and pneumonia. There is the usual amount of widespread contagion of disease," said Dr. H. L. Chambers, University physician, today.
"To lead a simple life, keep your throat clean, and breathe plenty of fresh air are all the best preventives from sickness," continued Dr. Chambers
"La gripe, scarlet fever, and influenza are making great inroads in the habitats of the students. Carelessness on the part of the individual and the too frequent change of clothing also adds its quota of sickness.
"Further do not put lead pencils in your mouth, as this is the greatest way of spreading disease. carry at least a half dozen pencils and if they become dirty, discard them."
To remedy the large number of accidents that have occurred this season, Dr. Naismith has a plan on foot to construct a coasting slope southwest of the gymnasium for the use of the students. The concave surface of the brick pavement offers great opening for dangerous accidents. The sport of tobogganing which is so popular in the northern states will thus be revived, giving the students a chance to enjoy one of the greatest sports that winter brings.
A Professional? Nay, Nay.
Editor Kansan:
Whie in high school I was employed by the editor of the home paper to build fires and sweep out the office of mornings. Will this disqualify me for "Professionalism" for a try-out on the Kansan?
—B. B. PASTIMER.
P. S. While so employed I once wrote a three-line personal.
Editorial comment—Such duties will not disqualify you for certain duties on The Kansan. For instance, the office now needs a "sweeper-out" badly.
