UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Alumni in Large Cities Have Taken Up the Work. FUND REACHES $5,000 MARK. Recent Canvass of County Clubs Adds $1,179—Reports Not All in on Account of Snow. The campaign for the Women's dormitory is spreading out according to reports received by Dr. Alberta Corbin, who is conducting the campaign at the University. Committees are being organized in New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Ann Arbor, Mich. In Chicago, Mrs. Gertrude Black-welder, '75, who made the address in Robinson gymnasium on Woman's Day, is organizing the work. Roy M. Robinson, '97, has organized a committee for work in New York City. Boston is being campaigned by Russell R. Whitman, of the Boston American, and a committee which he organized. Ross Hopkins, '99, has organized the work in St Louis and Harry Riggs, '86, is pushing the dormitory campaign among students at Ann Arbor. The last canvass of the county clubs, so far as the reports have come in, has increased the dormitory fund $1,179. This added to what was received on Women's Day and on the first canvass brings the total amount up to $5,000. Owing to the cold weather and irregular train service the reports from the different counties are slow in coming in. However, it is expected that the sum will be materially increased as soon as the mail service gets better. The Douglas county club stands first with the largest amount raised and Reno county is second. The amount of money raised by these two clubs has not been figured exactly. Prof. W. L. Burdick will deliver the dedicatory address at the dedication of the new high school building at Neode, Kansas on January 28. Seniors, we give a glossy picture for the Annual free.

WEAVER PHYSIOLOGY TEACHERS TO TRY OUT MEALS ARE POORLY TRAINED ON THE PROFESSORS Dr. Hyde Says that 5 of 160 High School Instructors Are Competent. "One hundred and sixty high schools of Kansas offer courses in physiology and but five of them have instructors who are competent to teach the subject," declared Dr. Ida H. Hyde, head of the physiology department, yesterday morning. "I have consulted the reports of State Superintendent Fairchild," she continued, "and find that the preparation for teaching is inadequate. All students should take at least an elementary course in physiology and interested in any of the biological sciences will find it invaluable." A training class for instructors who are preparing to teach physiology is being conducted by Dr. Hyde. Equipment and materials for teaching the subject have been secured and the students are working in connection with the Oread high schools Miss Grace Light has been elected to fill a vacancy in the Latin department of the Concordia High school. Miss Light will resign her fellowship here and leave for Concordia soon. Take your kodak printing to P. & N. Photo Co.

Onnes, Bulline & Hackman Domestic Science Cooks Domestic Science Cook Thusly to Grapple High Cost of Living. A four-course dinner at an expense of 20 cents is the result of the term's work in the food class of the Domestic Science department. The general belief that the cost of living must be high on account of the soaring prices in food stuffs is to be proved false during the next two weeks by the college bred cooks. The dinner which will be served at the low cost will consist of soup, meat, vegetables, coffee, salad and some form of desert. While economical foods will be used in the preparation of the meal, there will be no lack of nourishment as the girls have deduced by mathematics just how much nourishment a given amount of certain foods will supply. And prepared in a scientific manner and will be fit to serve to a Dr. Wiley. The guests of the dimmers will be professors and their wives, Professor Day and members of the class. Four girls will prepare each meal, two will act as cooks and two as waitresses.

Dr. Margaret L. Johnson, the physical director for women, announces a course in advanced work for those who are preparing to teach gymnasium work. The class will meet at 4:30 o'clock on Wednesday, for instruction in educational gymnastics, apparatus work and fancy dancing. Prof. A. B. Frizell has accepted a professorship in mathematics in the McPherson College, McPherson, Kansas. Prof. Marion White will take charge of Professor Frizell's classes at the University. The swimming pool is open to all young women of the University on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:30 o'clock. All girls wishing to enter the swimming classes are requested to report at the gymnasium for examination and appointment to class. KANSAS ENGINEERS TEST AIR MACHINES There will also be three new afternoon classes for advanced students in athletic work.

Bell phone 1994 1-11-5 PREDICTION A LITTLE LATE Eastern Professor Prophesies Aviation Studies—Already Here Says Prof. P. F. Walker. Practical work in the study of aeronautics has been done at the University of Kansas, under the direction of Prof. P. F. Walker of the department of mechanical engineering, so the prediction made at Los Angeles a few days ago by Prof. A. L. Roach of the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory, Boston, in which he stated that college courses in aeronautics would be installed; comes a bit too late. The work done was the testing of propellers for the H. W. Jacobs multiplane which will make its initial flight at Atchison, January 18th. The speed pitch and thrust of the propellers were calculated and their size, number and arrangement were also determined. "I do not believe that much will be done in the way of establishing advanced college courses in aeronautics," said Professor Walker today. "All engineering work in the best Universities and technical schools is becoming more and more generalized. It should be the aim of a University engineering training to evolve a type of engineer capable of any thing rather than one who is accomplished in but one line of work "The study of aeronautics is necessarily a part of the course in mechanical engineering, and from what I have have seen of the aeronautical work done here, I should not think it necessary to establish a special course in the new branch of work. Certainly no such course is at present contemplated at the University of Kansas. "Of course there are many things we do not know about air currents, that we must know before we will be full fledged birds," and the professor smiled. "And here is a great field for research and practical study. But I see no reason why the present School of mechanical engineering should not suffice amply for research in the fundamental laws of air currents, wind pressures and propeller thrusts." SINGERS ARE "The Merryman and His Maid will be Given February 6 and 7. February 6 and 7 are the definite dates set for the performance of the Fine Arts opera, "The Merryman and His Maid." After numerous delays on account of the unfinished Bowersock theater, the managers of the opera have been assured that the house will be ready by these dates in February. The formal opening of the new theater will take place some time previous to these dates. The Fine Arts production, which is under the direction of Miss Mossler and Mrs. Lyons was practically ready for playing before the holidays. The costumes have been ordered from Tam's of New York and will be on hand in a few days. With the exception of a few changes in the chorus the people who take part in the opera will be same as those announced in the Daily Kansan. Quality is the first consideration at P. & N. Photo Co.
