Increased Demand for Teacher in Manual and Professional Studies-90 Seniors Enrolled
The committee on recommendations of students of the university for teaching positions in the high schools of the state next fall are at present making their selections of the applicants and sending their recommendations to the various schools. The members of the committee are Dean C. H. Johnston of the school of Education, Prof. W. H. Carruth, Prof. A. T. Walker, and the secretary is W. H. Johnson the high school visitor.
So far ninety seniors in the University have been enrolled with secretary Johnson as applicants for teaching positions. Of this number seventy-five per cent are certificated teachers, that is, they have all the subjects required, by the state law, for instructors in the high schools. Ten percent of the applicants this year are men. This is an increase over previous years.
When application is made to the committee, the student is asked to fill out a printed blank. Such items are contained as the name in full of applicant, the age, degree received or expected at the university, the name of the high school attended, the nature of the appointment desired and the salary expected. The physical condition and the height and weight of teacher is also recorded, also the forms of athletics which the person can coach.
The student names the professors he has studied under at the university, who answer the following questions concerning the person: Scholarship, strength of character, good sense, personal address and social adaptability. Remarks are included and a recommendation by the teacher.
A permanent file of all the facts is kept in the office of the secretary. A photograph of each applicant is also placed in this file. The different high schools are furnished with a letter enclosing the facts which the committee has collected and their recommendation and remarks.
Secretary Johnson has about 125 possible high school positions. This year there has been an increased demand for teachers in manual and professional studies The manual subjects include manual training, and domestic science.
There are at present 350 former students of the University teaching in state schools. Secretary Johnson says that the recommendations of the committee are made in the interests of the schools as well as of the teachers.
GIRLS GO HUNGRY
Thief Steals Lunch Baskets From Fraser.
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard—so did several hungry University girls. And they like the dear old lady of childhood rhyme found the shelves bare. Somebody with an appetite has been stealing the lunch baskets which the girls who do not go home at noon have been leaving in Fraser's basement cupboard. During the past two weeks a half dozen baskets have been taken. The girls who have been losing their daily bread in this way have formed an anti-lunch-thief society.
Tentative plans for an Auditorium for the University of Michigan indicate that the new building will be 125 feet by 200 feet. The funds for the new Auditorium are now available to the University from the will of the late Hon. Arthur Hill, of Saginaw, and amount to $200,000.

Big League Scout Gets Line on Material.
Ted Sullivan, catcher for the Chicago White Sox team was here this week, watching the varsity ball games. Did you know that this same Ted is one of the most noted baseball scouts in America? Evidently the fame of the pellet chasers of the Sunflower state has reached the cars of one Comisky, owner of the Chicago White Sox, for you must know that the aforesaid Ted is drawing a goodly sum each year pointing out to the wily Comisky those users of the horse hide who show signs of being comers. And the question naturally arises what was Ted doing here if he wasn't scouting?
Sullivan is a personal friend of Farrill, the local slabster, and while here he and Farrill had a conversation relative to baseball. Farrill refuses to state just what was the exact subject of conversation but it is reported that there was some talk about future baseball. It is not known whether or not Sullivan saw any other members of the team but it is known that he was at several of the practices and got a line on the varsity material.
And the mystery is still unexplained. Farrill says the visit was merely one of pleasure but the fact that Sullivan has spent several days at St. Mary's college getting a line on the Catholic players lends strength to the supposition that his mission was not for pleasure only.
Mrs. H. T. Chalkley Appointed to Board of Control.
ALUMNA IS HONORED
Mrs. H. T. Chalkley, who graduated from the university in '97, has been appointed by Governor Stubbs to the Board of Control of all the charitable institutions of the state. Mrs. Chalkley is one of the two women visitors, who hold positions on the board and are selected from the entire state of Kansas. The other member of this committee is Mrs. W. A. Johnson, the wife of Judge Johnson of Topека.
The two women will visit the charitable institutions in a few months and will probably be accompanied by Mrs. Stubbs. The institutions which will be visited include the insane asylum, the boys reform school, the old folkks home and others. All the expenses of the trip will be paid by the state and a small salary is connected with the work. A report will be given to the Board of Control and the appropriations for the different institutions will be made accordingly.

There will be five recitals by members of the school of expression before the close of the term and four members of the school of music will also give recitals.
A special feature of the recital next Tuesday will be the readings with music. These are comparatively an innovation in University entertainments but they have met with great success in the eastern schools.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority will give their spring party Friday evening in Fraternal Aid hall.
A SUCCESSFUL TRIP
No Accidents in Easter Canoe Trip.
The five University students, Van den Brock, Lisie Kaffer, Ross Miller, Harry Trowbridge, and Samuel Berger, who made a journey up the Kaw in canoes during the Easter holidays, returned Sunday night and report a successful trip. "We got a little farther than Topeka," said one of the men this morning, "and made camp until Sunday morning. On the way back we encountered a strong wind. We turned this to good advantage however by using a sail on one of the canoes and towing the other. In this way we made the entire distance from Topeka to Lawrence in less than a day. We had no accidents but narrowly missed one when under full sail we ran onto a sand bar."
The freshmen defeated the varsity on McCook field yesterday afternoon by the score of 5 to 3.
