THE JUNIOR PROM.
The eighth annual Junior Promenade fulfilled the expectations of all and was a great success. It was the intention of the managers to have nothing elaborate. The Prom last night fulfilled this desire and yet was attractive in every way. The farce was clever and was well worked out. The managers are to be congratulated on fulfillment of their announcement to begin the farce on time and to allow no one to enter during the acts. The entire Prom reflected careful management. The delay of last year in starting the farce and the delay on the receiving line was entirely eliminated this year. But probably the best evidences of management were shown in the regulation of the refreshments. Admission to the dining hall was obtained only by tickets that showed during what dances refreshments would be served. The service in the dining hall was all that could be desired. The managers of the Prom the members of the various class committees and all of those who contributed toward making the Prom the great success that it was, are to be congratulated.
NEED FOR REVISION
Just what the break in athleties between the University and the University of Missouri means is rather hard to decide. The status of baseball in the Missouri Valley is now rather doubtful. With Nebraska upholding Kansas in her rules of eligibility and Missouri refusing to play under the new rules, if we are to have baseball among the Valley schools it is plainly evident that at the next meeting of the conference there should be regulations made that will meet with the approval and sanction of all of the institutions affected.
The recent ruling of the con
ference was an injudicious way of settling a rather delicate question. With the marked difference of opinion among the schools, some institution ought to take the initiative and start a campaign for the same regulation of one of our best college sports. The cancellation of the game with Missouri is to be regretted but under conditions as they exist now, we can expect nothing more than difference of opinions until better rules are adopted.
The growth in power of the Men's Student Council is interesting. Beginning with a sort of abstract and intangible regulation of student affairs, it has gradually acquired more authority and now is enjoying the pleasurable sensation of being one of the real dominating influences in all student affairs. The question of placing a Student Council as the body to which the students shall be directly responsible, is being debated in other schools and the general results seem to verify the opinion that an institution controlled largely in its student affairs by the students is a good thing. The men of the University are not rowdies in any sense of the word and the vital questions of student life can be settled by the students themselves through their representatives. The growth of the Student Council is an encouraging sign of a movement that can only mean a better handling of student affairs.
The idea of starting the Junior Prom at six o'clock and closing at three is a good one and it ought to become a permanent feature of future Proms. It ought not be considered necessary to make the annual Promenade an all night affair. There are many people who will refuse to be converts to the idea but the success of the plan yesterday demonstrated that it is possessed of much merit.
Tonight the University meets Missouri in debate. We venture to predict that by tomorrow morning the Tigers will wish that they had severed their debating connection with Kansas because of professionalism among the contestants.
European Engineer Here
Mr. Madjestech, a noted English mining engineer spoke to the student's branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at Marvin hall Wednesday afternoon on "The European and Russian Oilfields and Baku Fields in Particular." He is a man of unusual wide experience, having spent most of his life in this work. He is in America now inspecting the mideontinental oilfields of Oklahoma and Kansas.
The Students Branch of American Mechanical Engineers met Thursday night with Prof Walker at 1301 Ohio. Papers were read by R. H. Forney, C. L. Cogins, F. B. Develin. Lawrence Brown gave a technical report on "The Utilization of Blast Furnace Gas For Power Purposes."
Mechanicals Met.

Dr. Zueblin Advocates Far Reaching Industrial Education.
MANUAL TRAINING FOR ALL
"Employers, employees, and the public ought all to have a real industrial education," said Professor Charles Zueblin in his chapel address yesterday morning. "The employer is desperately in need of it for even if he rose from the ranks his duties keep him apart from a vital touch with the laborer; as the man who markets the goods he needs a broad industrial knowledge.
"Employees greatly lack in industrial education and their increasing organization with its demand for expert leaders only emphasizes their need for it. Furthermore the average American working man expects always to remain such; he should be prepared for it in the largest sense."
"I thoroughly believe that a certain amount of hand work should be required of each student every year in every kind of school," said Dr. Zueblin. "Our laws should be so unified that every child shall be practically compelled to get into the high school at least. We positively should not allow any child to work at any wage-earning business before he is sixteen years old. Though it may be revolutionary I believe that every child should be examined before he is fourteen years old to find out for what he is specially adapted. Then let him learn all subjects in relation to the one in which he has a special interest. Thus he will get something which he can remember at the same time he gets mental discipline.
"If manual training has been given in all the grades, if the student has learned philosophy, history and science in terms of metal clay, and wood," said Dr. Zueblin, "he has an excellent foundation for his technical training. One great value of a technical education is the power of adaptability that it gives."
Visits State Hatcheries.
Prof. W.C. Hoad returned Tuesday night from Pratt Kansas where he held a consultation with Prof. Dyche relative to the enlargement of the fish hatcheries.
On the way home Prof. Hoad stopped at Hutchinson and had the opportunity of inspecting their new $75,000 Y. M. C. A. building which was paid for entirely by popular subscription among the citizens. He states that it is the largest, most comfortable and usable building for the money expended that he has ever seen. The plans were drawn by A. R. Mann, a K. U. civil engineer of 1907.
Frank P. Brock, former holder of the Pfandler fellowship, spoke at the regular meeting of the Chemical Club Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Brock spoke on the subject, "The Chemical Engineer." He said, "The chemical engineer of the future must be a chemist, a business man and a mechanical engineer to make a success."

CHARACTER DECIDED EARLY
J. H. Dadisman Tells of High School Work.
J. H. Dadisman, State High School secretary for the Kansas Y. M. C. A. spoke before a large audience at the local association headquarters Thursday evening on the subject "The Younger Fellows." "Dad" has been spending all his time with the high-school fellows during the past two years and has been doing some very effective work.
Dadisman referred to the important field that is to be covered by the men going out from the University and the influence they can exercise over the boys in the High School. "The greatest problem we have today," he said, "is to get the boys interested in religious things. It is while they are in their teens that we must get them interested in the higher things in life if they are to be effective forces for good. The majority of boys have selected their life work before they enter the University and their characters are already pretty much determined. It is because of this that the University men should take hold of work that will aid them to direct the boys in their choice of companions and associations. Teachers, especially, should take hold of live ideas because of the influence they exert when among the boys in school work. In all the counties but eight are schools that train the boys for University work." To support this "Dad" produced a map worked out with red ink indicating the place from which the leaders of the future will come.
Dadisman sails for China this summer where he will take up Association work among the young men at Shanghai.
Reminiscences.

Today the senior says goodbye to his studies.
There will be a picnic in room No. 11, at end of the fourth hour Monday.
The serenaders met with bad luck last Saturday. Their hack broke down out in west Lawrence and they were compelled to wend their weary way home on foot.
The Credit Dining Association at Failey's has lifted Sharrard, who formerly was a member of the Cash Dining Association.

J. D. McLaren goes to see his Baldwin city girl tomorrow.
Society politics have subsided and only the gentle surge is heard which presages the storm of next year.
The true college paper is not the literary model or a faculty's mirror, but one which gives free expression to opinions and ideas of the students.
Some students seem to complain of the lack of an "Annual." On the contrary, we see no advantage arising from such a publication, to college students. They are usually weary collections of stale jokes and frat advertisements.
