DEMAND FOR RESEARCH
The importance and need for encouraging research is becoming more evident as the years pass by. The educational institutions are all striving to secure more funds for fellowships and facilities for investigation along all lines of work, and that University ranks most prominently that publishes most research. That there is a great demand for higher study is evidenced here at the University, for as soon as opportunities are offered by the different departments, there is immediate call for them. In the department of chemistry, every fellowship is well represented. Several students are doing research in zoology, bacteriology, history, economics, philosophy, physiology, and in the modern as well as the ancient languages.
The need for more room for research at the University is evident. In the department of physiology this year there was a room built but it was entirely inadequate to meet the demand of the students. It has been said that there have been several applicants from other colleges who would be of great benefit to the department if they could be secured as teaching fellows, who will have to be refused because of the lack of room and other facilities. Such a condition represents a distinct loss to the University and there ought to be adequate provision for this work. The department of physiology is only an example. One of the most effective means for making the University a progressive institution is to make ample provision for research.
Now comes someone with a proposition to prove by holy writ that Eve wore trousers, advancing as evidence one translation of
Genesis which reads, "and they sewed fig leaves and made themselves breeches." This is the first intimation we have seen that the harem skirt has a press agent.
It is not within the province of the University Kansan to severely censure the actions of the Ministerial Alliance of this city, but their action this week ought to receive some notice and attention. A few days ago there was a bulletin placed in the main hall in Fraser which purported to be the directory of the churches of Lawrence. All of the Protestant churches were given notice but the services that are held at the Catholic church in the city were entirely ignored. The Kansan believes that in fairness to the fifty-two students and the several professors that are connected with this institution, any bulletin that is supposed to give notice of the services in the Lawrence churches should at least make reference to the Catholic church. It is reported that the reason that this church was not mentioned was because its pastor did not belong to the Ministerial Alliance of the city. This probably is true but it does not explain why the pastor was at first asked to place a notice in the bulletin and later after he had sent in the copy for the notice was notified that it had been decided not to allow the Catholic church notice to appear. A controversy that smacks of religion is always an unpleasant thing but we believe that a mistake has been made and that there should be no partiality or prejudice shown in the announcement of the services in the Lawrence churches.
"Dig down for prosperity," says a headline. Some people's idea of prosperity is to have the other fellow "dig up."
So long as our State Penitentiary is under the supervision of Warden J. F. Codding, we may have no fear but that our state prisoners will receive the best of care and attention and the most humane treatment. The visit of a class in sociology to the prison this week showed to all of those who were present that Warden Codding and his wife are the proper persons to 'over-see the nine hundred of the state's violators of the law. In a short talk to the class at the noon hour the Warden advocated some striking and much needed prison reforms and in view of the great changes that he has wrought in the institution since taking charge, there is no doubt but that under his direction the prison will become a place to "reform and not deform men." The hospitality of Warden and Mrs. Codding in serving a delightful luncheon to the class and later in the careful and painstaking manner in which the prison life was shown, certainly commended them to the highest favor of the entire class.

There is some danger that the "real issue" will be lost to sight in the forthcoming election of new members of the student council. It looks now as if University politics in their most offensive form would be involved in the election. If there are any students in the University who wish to discredit the council and make it a body wholly without significance and authority, no better way could be found than to hold the election to a purely factional political basis. On the other hand, the students who wish to see the council go forward and gain greater influence should forget partisa n considerations entirely when they are marking their ballots.
When the horny-handed son of the West met the Harvard senior on the campus the latter looked the freshman over thoroughly. "H'm," he said at length, as he indicated the toil-hardened hands of the stranger. "I get my living with my head." "Yes?" drawle the Westerner, with some show o interest, "so does a woodpecker."—Kansas City Star.
Will Speak Sunday.
William Caldwell and Ralph Spotts will occupy the pulpit of the Linwood Boulevard Presbyterian church of Kansas City, next Sunday. They spoke to the Senior Endeavor league of that church last week. That their speeches were well received is shown by the fact that they have been asked to speak to the entire church at the regular Sunday services. The Linwood Presbyterian is one of the largest churches in Kansas City. The university students will talk especially to the young people.
Prof. J. E. Boodin spoke in Emporia last evening and in Chanute this morning before the teachers in the high school. Both of these lectures are the final ones in the series that Professor Boodin has been giving in connection with the University extension work.
Many Students in a Measure Self Supporting.
INDUSTRIOUS AT M. U.
Columbia, Mo., April 18.—Forty per cent of the men students at the University of Missouri are, to some degree, self-supporting. That is shown by statistics just compiled in connection with the free employment bureau maintained by the university Y. M. C. A. Many of the men earn all of their expenses, but a majority only partly support themselves and get money from other sources
Since last fall the employment bureau obtained work for 225 men. Most of these were freshmen, for the older students become acquainted after a year here and are able to find work themselves with the people of Columbia. The 225 men have earned since last fall $5,000.
While the character of the employment furnished embraces nearly every kind, the most common is that of waiting on the table for board or room. Firing furnaces is an another common form of work, and one student supports himself wholly by washing windows. He has six other students whom he hires and then takes contracts for cleaning the windows of both business houses and residences. He uses a cleaning solution which he mixes himself. All calls to the bureau for window washers are turned over to him and he hires only students.
The usual price paid for student labor is 15 cents an hour. Those students who know a trade, however, are at a great advantage, for they are able to earn much more. Nearly a dozen students who know the printing trade are able to work several hours every day for pay that ranges from 25 to 45 cents an hour.
