HERE'S A CHANCE TO WIN A HUNDRED
FOR ESSAY ON "INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION."
Donor of Prize a Harvard Student—Contest Closes on March 15.
The contest for the prize of $100 for the best essay on International Arbitration by a student of any American college or university, offered annually by the Lake Mohonk Conference on International Arbitration will close March 15. More than ordinary interest attachs to this because it is the gift of a student —Chester D. Pugsley, of Peekskill, N. Y —at present studying law at Harvard. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1909.
A similar prize last year brought out seventy-five essays from colleges in all parts of the country and was won by George Knowles Gardner, of Worcester, Mass., a Harverd sophomore. In 1908-9 the prize went to L. B. Bobbitt, of Baltimore, then a sophomore in Johns Hopkins.
The judges will be Hon. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, United States Commis'ner of Education; Hon. Joseph B. Moore, Justice of the Supreme Court of Michigan; and Professor George Winfield Scott, of Columbia University.
The award of the prize will be announced and the presentation made at the seventeenth annual meeting of the Lake Mohonk Conference, May 24-26, to which meeting the winner will be invited.
Essays are not to exceed 5,000 words (3,000 is suggested as desirable) and must be delivered not later than March 15 to H. C. Phillips, Mohonk Lake, N. Y., from whom full information and references may be obtained.

Value of "College Honors."
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a system has been inaugurated by which all of the so-called "college honors" are rated and no man is allowed to have more than a specific number of points. It is said that the activities are no longer embarassed by the overloading of any one or more men and that no individual is allowed to identify himself with so many interests that his original purpose in college is lost sight of. This system is being considered in several eastern universities.
PREVENTION OF CRIME.
Professor F. H. Billings of the department of botany, spoke at Huron Friday night. His subject was "Bacteriology in Relation to Household and Farm Economy."
Prof. Blackmar Says to Look After the Children.
New dates and figs at Vic's.
Professor Frank W. Blackmar head of the department of sociology, spoke last Friday night before the Anti-Horse Thief association at Topeka on social conditions. He spoke in favor of the organization of neighborhood societies for the prevention of crime. It is better and cheaper in Professor Blackmar's opinion, for the state to take steps to prevent crime, than it is to spend most of its time and energy in correcting violations of the law after the crime has been committed.
Professor Blackmar spoke at length on the problem of providing the proper environment for children. In speaking of the work of the Sunday schools, he believes that more attention should be paid to the development of the social side of the child's nature as well as the religious side. He also advocated extensive playgrounds for children and expressed his belief that everyplayground around a school house should contain ten acres. The child labor laws were commended by Professor Blackmar in so far as they placed the government on the side of the children.
QUILL CLUB HISTORY.
Professor Hopkins Tells of Tribulations of Society.
Prof. E. M. Hopkins spoke at the regular meeting of the Quill club Monday afternoon especially to the new members in regard to the organization and history of the club. Though at times it was not in vigorous condition it has lived and grown. The publication of a magazine, Professor Hopkins considered as an important element in the success of the club. He also discussed the opportunity for making the Oread Magazine as a more frequent publication of literary value in the University.
Honor System at Columbia.
A movement is on foot at Columbia to bring about the "honor system" of examinations, and matters were brought to a head by the publication of a system of rules and regulations governing examinations by members of the senior science class. The sections of mining and metallurgy have already voted to adopt the scheme. All that is necessary now is the approval of the science faculty, and it is believed the authorities will look favorably upon the plan. Under the "honor system" proctors are dispensed with and the entire control is turned over to those taking the examinations. In case of any fraud or cheating detected, there is to be a trial of the offender by a committee of seven. The findings of this court are to be submitted to the faculty with the appropriate recommendations.

Announcement.
We beg to announce the arrival of large German and Spanish importations of folders and mounts made to our order and sold exclusively to us. We operate a sufficient number of studios to justify even larger purchases than those of any photographic supply house, and therefore derive advantages in prices that enable us to offer a variety in styles heretofore untouched outside of the very largest cities.
We have in our exclusive employ a very efficient artist from Florence, Italy, and one of the foremost American artists on miniatures and paintings and back ground etchings, and are thoroughly equipped to supply an atmosphere to each negative that will individualize it and make it different from all others.
Our own finishing plant in Kansas City, being equipped to supply every want for fifty studios, is supposed to be the most thoroughly equipped in the world.
In addition to all times having fifty exclusive styles to offer the people of each vicinity in which we operate a studio, we will duplicate anything else produced in photography—both in quality and price—regardless of what they may be.
Furthermore, we are the first to establish the strictly one-price system with plain figures of the price on every wrapper—these are permanent and give everybody equal advantages on the very best rates in the city. But bear in mind, we employ the best talent money will procure. It is upon these principles that we solicit your patronage.
