PLAN FOR A BIG BANQUET TONIGHT
ENGINEERS WILL MEET IN THE GYMNASIUM.
Visitors, Professors and Students Will Give Toasts and Make Merry.
The advance sale of the tickets for the engineers' banquet tonight has reached the mark of three hundred and it is expected that the attendance may be even greater. This is the eleventh annual banquet that has been given by the students of the School of Engineering and the addresses that will be given at the celebration this evening in Robinson gymnasium will make the event one of the most successful in the history of the department.
The guests will meet in the men's part of the gymnasium on the first floor where they will be entertained with music and where yells will be practiced. Promptly at 7 o'clock the sliding doors will be pushed aside and the engineers will take their places.
Professor J. N. Van der Vries will be toastmaster and the speakers of the evening will be: Carl Pleasant on "My First Professional Scrimmage;" Professor H. P. Cady, on "Thermo-Dynamics of the Future;" Chester A. Smith of Kansas City on "Why I Choose Sanitary Engineering;" Prof. G. C. Shaad on "Factors;" Lieut. Col. J. E. Kuhn of Leavenworth on "Points of Contact;" Dean Marvin, "The Dean wishes to see you in his office,"" Mike Lynch, "Erin Go Brac;" J. W. Malcolmson, of Kansas City, "Reminiscences of Mexico;" Prof. E. Haworth, "Improvements Worth While;" Geo. W. Russell, "Why We Need an Engineering Day."
Forty Years a Teacher.
Mrs. Ellen Richards, who was in St. Louis recently as presidee of the National Home Economics association, has just completed her fortieth year as a teacher in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The women students gave a luncheon to commemorate the event and there were eulogies by the professors upon her work as a chemist, "as a social seer and as an evangelist." Over a thousand sand dollars has been raised to be called the Ellen Richards funds and to be used as she desires. She was lately given the Ph. D. degree by Smith college.
College Girl a Minister.
Miss Marion Hasting Jones, a graduate of the class 1897 in Smith College, has been ordained pastor of the Congregational church at Staffordsville, Conn. She gave up teaching a girls' school in Hartford to go into the ministry and had served as a liecentiate for some time before her ordination.

FAVORS PLAY AND HEROES
Mr. Charles Told How to Reclaim Boys.
In speaking on "The Reelamation of Youth" at the regular Y.M.C.A.meeting Thursday evening, H. W. Charles, superintendent of the Boys' Industrial School at Topeka, spoke of the opportunities of the home, the public school, and the church, instead of the work accomplished at his institution. Preliminary to his discussion of the remedies for the increase of delinquency among children, Mr. Charles referred to inherited tendencies, economic conditions, and broken homes as the causes of evil.
"Every boy is more or less a hero worshiper," said Mr. Charles, "and if the father will make himself a true companion he can become also the hero of his boy and thus largely prevent him from becoming a delinquent. I think also that more practical education to aid in earning a living will be of benefit to the boy. To be increasingly useful our public schools should give more manual training."
Mr. Charles urged the value of play and that the schools should provide chances for it if the boy's moral and physical education is to be fully developed. He also advocated more definite efforts upon the part of the church to help the boys and share all good things with them.
Ross Beamer had charge of the music for the meeting and will be a permanent assistant in that way to T. N. Hill in the work of the religious meetings committee.
Phi Beta Kappa Address.
Professor George B. Mead, of the philosophy department of the University of Chicago, will deliver an address at the University of Kansas March 3 under the auspices of the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society. There are two honorary societies at the University. The Phi Beta Kappa represents the literary departments and the Sigma Xi, the scientific. To be a member of the former, a student must have made a high record in scholarship during his University course. The rules of this society permit the election to membership of not to exceed one-fourth of the graduating class. The members of Sigma Xi are elected at various times during the year. The society holds frequent meetings at which scientific subjects in which the students and professors are interested are discussed under the leadership of some specialist in each line of research.
300 Athletic calendars will be put on sale at the check stand Monday. These calendars are neat booklets with leather front and containing pictures of all athletic teams. At other colleges they sell for $1, but the price has been cut to 50 cents, while they last.—Ady

Miniature Administration Building in the Museum.
CAST IS MOUNTED.
A plaster cast of the new Administration building, as it will appear when completed in 1916 has been received at the University museum and has been mounted on a permanent stand on the first floor of the building.
The cast which is about five feet wide and ten feet long is made of white plaster of Paris and is divided into three sections corresponding to the sections of the building as they will be constructed. It is a miniature reproduction of the building as it will appear from the outside, even the lights on either side of the main entrance have been erected in their places. The model of the completed building was constructed by the order of the architect, Mr. MacArdle of St. Louis, who is in charge of the construction of the building.
MANY STUDENTS ACT AS TEACHERS

ARE ASSISTANTS IN HIGH SCHOOLS OF STATE.
Doing Work for the Experience Through the Department of Education.
The School of Education has lately been sending out seniors and graduate students to teach for a week or so in the various school of the state. This gives them the necessary training for the time when they will take regular positions. The school board of Kansas City, Kan,has been so well pleased with the idea that they have invited the School of Education to send down students to teach or to observe their methods. Clarence Rice, a senior, taught mathematics in that high school for three weeks. Grace Elmore, also a senior, taught mathematics for a week in the Chanute high school. Edmund Cressman, a graduate student,taught Latin for three weeks in the Iola high school.
The students are not paid for the work, as the experience is thought to be a sufficient recompense. The faculty in the School of Education a short time ago asked that they be allowed to use the Lawrence schools as a training place, but were not granted the privilege by the school board. However, several seniors are regular teachers in the high school and receive salaries. They are Zoe Clark, who teaches most of the time, Ethel Douglas, who has a class every day in history, and Ruth Wilhelm, who teaches botany. There are also eleven University botany students who assist in the high school laboratory course.
