WISCONSIN STARTS AN EXPERIMENTAL COLLEGE

Problems Of Youth Will Be

Taken Up By The College

And Threshed Out

Attention Will Be Given To One Phase Of Work Until

Finished

The field of knowledge being as broad and as old the world and

education having to do with the whole of that field a stands to rea-son there must be some considerable systematizing: cataloguing and divid-ing up of knowledge in convenient doses for the consumption of youth. Yet this necessary marking out of the various types of information which the educated person should have, this separating into usable fragments the things that young people should learn at school, has

created not a little problem in the world of education itself

The young people who are put through the educational process find themselves confused, at times almost hopelessly, with a maze sub-jects and courses, each seeming of vital importance and something of and end in itself. How to fit all the subjects and courses into a related whole into a scheme of things that can be turned to practical account in actual life, is a puzzle that overtaxes the mental capacity of many a youth.

It is a way out of this difficulty that an "experimental collage,” just started at the University of Wisconsin, will attempt to find. This new move in education will be directed by Dr. Alexander Melkeljohn, formerly president of Amherst College, and a selected group of teachers. They will work with about 120 students who also have been carefully selected.

Teachers and students are to get down to business together in a com-mon task. They will dispense, virtually, with subjects. classes, and courses. They are to center their attention instead on "situations," on a single situation at a time. The idea is to take what scenes to be a fairly well defined period in the world's history and to study it from all possible angles. In an effort to get a full understanding of all the forces that made it what it was and to determine its bearing on the course of civilization. The first period will be that

Dell, Master Farmer

Mr. J. C Dell of Cage County, Nebraska was our of ten men selected as the Master Farmers of that state. Mr. Dell started farming for himself in 1887 with very little or no capital and has built up a modern farm of 360 acres and established for himself a place of prominence in his community. He owns 1,480 acres in another state which is rented out, and he also has some city property.

A system of diversified farming is the keynote of Mr. Dell's success. Corn and wheat are his principal crops and have brought him the best returns during his forty years of farming.

Mr. Dell is the father of Carl Dell '22 Milton Dell, '25 Ted Dell and Mrs. Earl Frantz, former students and Lois Dell who is in college here at the present time.

PROF. DOLL'S SALON ORCHESTRA HONORED

THE END?

look up your record but will re-member that you are a very brilliant boy so he should change your grade from a D to an A for you must have had an off day when you look what he though an easy exam. These schemes will sure change your grade from good to better and re-member how proud mother is of her little Howard Albert or Anna Bell. The second change is not all gold coins, however. This change is from good to bad, It is necessary to remain on this question long as all

students are brilliant but if there are a few with phlegmatic temper-ments they are all confined to the state universities. As many times as the student have told that they have bright (brilliant) and smiling faces by men who were supposed to be authorities in their field, would make any student know he was quite a smart person. Several spank-ers (who are not good looking so the girls don't smile) just tell the students that they are the brightest (brilliant) student they have ever seen and some of these speakers have traveled a great deal. With the assurance of several speakers is it no wonder that students are vain. In spite of all these statements, several of the students seem to have the opinion that some speakers do not let truth reign in their speech. This is made vivid to them when some students who know they know their, onions do not make A's in their exams but instead, fail way below average. Because brevity is the

The Quaker Basket Men will en-gage the Bull Dogs her Friday night to our second conference battle. The Bulldogs are playing great basket ball this season and their fine form will make every M. C. student mighty proud.

Two weeks ago at Wichita Friends got off on the wrong foot and the Bulldogs trounced them 47 to 24 in a decisive manner. They are sure to come here Friday determined to reverse the count.

Portia Vaughn's jazz Bull Dog's (not hounds) will be in the gym carin' to toot some hot lively synco-pations. The Bulldogs part of the fans are looking forward to a 100% representation.

Bulldogs, show your stuff!

INAUGRATION OF DR. SCHWALM FEBRUARY 14

Address To Be Given By Dean R. R. Schwegier Of Kansas University

Inauguration Ceremony Will Take

Place In The Morning Followed By An Address By Dr. Schwalm

The Inauguration of Dr. V. F. Schwalm as president of McPherson Collage will be Feb. 14. Invitation for this service which is to be an ail day affair were sent out to the Colleges of the state and the colleges of the Church of the Brethren.

In the morning the Inauguration ceremony will take place. Dr. Harily as secretary of the Board of Trustees will present the charge. This will be followed by the acceptances saw and address by D., Schwalm. The Inaugur al address will be given by Dean R. R. Schwegier, dean of the school of education of Kansas University.

The afternoon program will consist of brief speeches by representatives of such organisations as the Chamber of Commerce of McPherson, the Department of Education, and college organization.

The evening program will be open to the entire community. At this time there will be an informal reception for the president.

Tues., Jan. 24- Second Semester begins.

soul of wit, I will quit discussing this change.

The change front bad to good is the third wonder. Believe it or not there are still a few students who have initiative (or is it luck?) to finish up with a bang and surprise the world by getting good grades. The boys of this group believe in telling the co'ed reign in blissful peace after she's thirty five years old or older. The girls of their class have the motto of eventually why not now. To live up to their purpose in college they go with the boy for you can't get married without knowing a man or two or three—(to be continued next week) At any rate they are part of the college life which makes men and women of boys and girls and they have the will power or luck to know the answers to the exam question so they get good grades when the rest of the students don't see how they can.

The last type has the same principals throughout the year as the last type but they forget to study when the time comes or else just can't let a few exams interfere with their education. This type goes from the stages of so-so to the eternal depths below what is commonly called getting by or in more refined words doing passing work. This class adds little to the intellect of the school but furnishes a great deal of the education of college life. For a great many in this class the exams are.

The End.

LEAP YEAR SOCIAL GIVEN BY C. E. SOCIETY

Entertainment Was Given In

Form Of Games, Contests And A Program

Bashful Boys Were Seen Being Escorted To And From Home

Last Friday, the girls of the Christian Endeavor were given the chance In show their preference by a leap year party. The large attend-ance went to show that must of them had a preference and were lucky in getting his concent.

At 7:15 there was a reversal of the usual migration from Fahnestock to Arnold and soon the hall of Fahne-stock were resounding with the calls of boisterous girls and the answers of timid buys.

The party was given in the base-ment of the church. The evening's entertainment consisted of relays, guessing contests, other games of rivalry and a program of readings and vocal solos.

Following the program a light luncheon of fruit salad and wafers was served by the "boys".

It was the girls evening and some of the poor boys out getting until late lamented the fact that a leap year party should come on Friday, the thirteenth. It would have been a good night to sleep too.

TO ORGANIZE MUSIC CLUB

For several years the idea of a music club for McPherson College students and others who are inter-ested has been in the minds of our music faculty Friday morning the college faculty enforced the organ-zation of such a club.

It is believed this will prove a very popular innovation. The present plans are to accept the help of a representative of the Kansas State Federation of Music Clubs in organ-ization probably the first or second week of the second semester.

The club will likely meet every two weeks. These meetings can be made not, only entertaining, but ed-ucational A big response is expect-ed when the first meeting is announced.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1928 Editorial

Friday we have our first home game of the conference season, do we have the pep to support that team? We have the pep in the way of yells and songs, but what we need more than anything is a good peppy orchestra. The material for such an

orchestra is available and with a lit-

tle encouragement and support from the student we could have one of the best. If we are ask to help sup port an orchestra let us show our school spirit by supporting it.

HEASTON AT Y. M. C. A.

‘‘‘It is not the size of the check a

man can draw but the amount of service he can contribute to the race." said Mr. W. C. Heaston, local physician in the Y. M. C. A. assembly Tuesday morning.

Heaston told of the qualities he admired in a man. The first quality be liked to see in every man was a spirit of kindliness. Live a life for others. He explained the meaning of the Rotarian motto: "Service above self."

In order to live a life of service every man must be true to himself. "If you are to be a success in life

you must be physically strong, morally clean and mentally alert", said Heaston. These qualities may be acquired by living to the high ideals of the four fold life.

NEW YEAR'S resolutions is TOPiC OF Y. W

New Year's resolutions was the theme of the Y. W. meeting last Tuesday morning. Miss Margaret Wagoner was leader.

Talks were given by several girls. Miss Doris Ballard said the college girls should make resolutions that are hard to keep and which develop the will power. College girls should ever keep striving for the best.

Miss Mildred Swenson gave five ways of starting the year out right. She advised the girls to organize and systematize their work to play more, to become optimists, to learn to serve others, and not to neglect their religious life.

An a special treat Miss Portia Vaughan gave a pianologue of her own entitled, "Musings of the Old Piano."

Princeton undergraduates have raised a demand for film of college life that will really depict in a truthful way what good on in the average American college of today.

Wednesday, Jan. 11.

We boys head the ladies were, in-viting their gentlemen friends to a leap year party. What would I wear? Were the boys to wear how or fore-in-hand ties? I found that most of the boys would wear bow ties, sox with stripes and not garters. I was terrible glad I found out. I was nev-. er so uncomfortable in my whole life as at that last party when all the boys wore suspenders but myself. I couldn't look a soul in the face for weeks afterwards.

Thursday, Jan. 12.

I have been crying. Mable hasn’t ask me to the party and it's the day before. I'd like to know if she ex-pects me to go on a moment's notice? Well I won’t! I won’t I won't! There isn't any sence in her acting that way. Every other boy in the dormitory has a date but me. Well —If she thinks she can fool around like this she’s mistaken. I’ll up and go with some one else. Just wait and see.

Jan. 13, Friday.

The party was just wonderful I have Mabel's ring. It's so beautiful! She say her father wore it when he was engaged. Isn't she a perfect

dear? Oh I could just cry I'm so happy. Why every thing is just wonderful. The way she kissed me when we came home was so roman tic. Oh, it all seems like a dream.

I am sorry I had all those horrid old thoughts about Mabel. She says she saw me walking with another girl and thought I had accepted a date. If some of the girls hadn't told her I expect dear old Mabe's wouldn't have had the courage to ask me. She's so sensitive about things that way.

Gee I must run down the hall and show the boys my ring. It's perfectly gorgeous! They'll turn green with envy. And Mabel says we'll really be married. This isn't any ordinary engagement.

God bless dear old Mabe's

Prof. Grandpa Williams complains that the letters he gets from the Widow Bachelor are as impersonal as ice and snow.

Howard Keim, speaking in terms of the conferenced, said that Christianity is losing prestige because missionaries often try to Americanize rather than Christianize: foreigners want to do the leading themselves and let the Americans advise.

Keim touched on the inter-racial problem, which was an important phase of the conference, by suggesting that we start practicing Christianity at home by allowing the negro to enter business and live in our towns.    *

Wilmer Lehman another delegate said that he was much impressed with the fact that in Jesus Christ all men find the way to life and happiness. Speakers from all over the world brought a challenge-to think in terms of the world. They brought a call for missionaries to teach God’s Word rather than our civilization.

of the high tide of ancient Greek life,

The idea as a whole is not ad-vanced as novel, except as a move in formal education. The system of finding out what one wants to know or needs to know is as old, the president of the university indicated, as civilization itself, perhaps older. it was suggested tat the cave man learned by the same methods these young people are going to pursue. Certainly, the man in ordinary life today. Including the motorist who is determined to find out what is

wrong with a car that won't run, obtains a lot of useful knowledge by looking carefully into a situation, analyzing it, taking it apart— and possibly, putting it back together again.--K C Star

CHEMISTRY CLUB

Industrial Chemistry was the theme for discussion in last Thurs-day's Chemistry Club meeting. Rob-ert Puckett, who is employee as a chemist in the Kansas State Grain Inspection Department during the summer months told the adventures

of a car of wheat from farmer to baker. A detailed explaination was given of the Kieldahl process of protein analysis. Every car of wheat which is shipped in Kansas is ana-lyzed by the State Grain Chemists. Puckett told many of the experience which a State Chemist must go through.

Ronald Warren spoke on the tan-

ning industry. Last year he was em-ployeed at Wankegan, Ill, in one of the largest tanneries in the United States. The complete process of preparing leather requires three months. Warren traced a cut of raw material from the time it reached the plant until it was ready for use as leather.

As many of the formulas use in the tanning are held in secret he explain. ed mostly the merchant treatment

"leather", said Warren, "can be

split into pieces as thin as wrapping paper.

Last year's base ball men will not receive letters as far as the m. club is concerned. Last Thursday morn-ing by a two to one vote, the club recommended that the athletic board not award the letter M to the base ball men.

A petition was presented recently to the athletic hoard asking that let-tars be awarded to the men on the 1927 base ball team. As the board had a tie vote, tlie question was submitted to the M. Club.

The men playing on last years team were of the opinion that letters would be granted. The athletic board awarded base ball letters in 1926 but did not officially say that they would be given in '27. The team was not sponsored by the board and therefore no action was taken in granting letters. Two teams were played last year and only one of these a member of the conference.

The base ball men were of the opinion letters would be granted and therefore petitioned the athletic board to award them. In the M club meeting is was stated that the team had worked hard and deserved the award. The baseball men all feel that they have been given a bad deal.

The M club recommended that the athletic board award letters if they had been promised to this team but if they had not, the letters were not to be given. The general feeling was that this would, lower the stand-ards. The requirement for an M should be raised in place of lowered.

The athletic board will meet in the near future and a decision will be made.

BANKERS TO STAGE COMEBACK TONIGHT

The Carey Salt Men, with a host of. Hutchinson fans, are coming tonight to test the metal of the Bank-ers for the return game on the home court. This will be the third game of the return with the Salt men as McPherson took the count of 33-26 in a pre-season game here in December, and also emerged with a narrow 30-29 victory at Hutchinson for their first league tangle.

Since then Barnes, a former Beth any player, has been added and they were able to conquer Newton, the only team in the league to stop the Bankers.

NEWTON BEATS BANKERS

Setting a hard pace in the opening plays of to game, the Newton Panhandles withstood the Bankers thrilling comeback to carry home a 35-32 victory last Tuesday night.

Although the Newton men jumped to a decided lead, the, game kept the fans on their feel until the end of the game as the Bankers offered a steady threat to overcome the lead.

The second half saw the Hankers in some might good basket ball when the margin was narrowed to 31-30. Gardner dropped a field goal and put the Mac-men ahead one point but Newton's forward shoved in two points to be followed later by their guard's hit and the game was over.

Newton and the Bankers played brilliant ball through out, but with their good start, the Pandandies took home the bacon.

OTTAWA BRAVES TAME SALINA WESLEYAN

After completing a successful tour in Nebraska, in which the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes felt the strength of their teamwork in opposition to the Kearney State Normals. Hastings College and Grand Island College, the Salina five fell before the Ottawa Braves in their seasons opener Friday night 24-15.

Although Wesleyan got away with a nice six-point lend, the Braves started rolling the goals and showed the Coyotes in pretty ragged form. Cliff Bins, pivot man for Ottawa: caused most of Salina's worry while almost every other man on the Brave team added to the score.

One fellow in Fahnestock hall seem to delight in throwing tin cans down the stairs and to protect himself, yell, "Who in heck is throwing those cans again."

We will all admit this is a very accomplished and skilled feat—keep it up.

HIGH BEATS CHAPMAN

87-4

Encountering the Chapman High Basketeers on the court Friday night, the McPherson High Basket team demonstrated very well what it is to get ‘hot' when they heaped up an 87-4 victory over their northeastern rivals.

Haws, forward, poured the ball through the goal for fourteen field goals and three free throws. Captain Carpenter counted seven field markers and two free throws and Mohl-strom pulled seven field goals.

McPherson, champions in last year's central Kansas league, with this overwhelming victory, is at once; ranked among the highest contend-ers for honors this season.

Members of the winning team were Viola Bowser, Dorothy Sargent, Ruth

Lancaster, Elaine Gustafson, Aileen

Ostlund, Arian Brigham, Marguerite Wagoner, Kathryn Burgin and Vel-ma Wine.

The varsity team will be chosen in the near future,

That the younger students make, relatively higher intelligence scores than their classmates was indicated by the results of an intelligence test, given to the students of agriculture at the Oklahoma A. and M. College, The second year students led in overage intelligence,

Ovcr-night hikes are being planned by the physical education department of the University of Arizona for girls who are interested in hiking.

Why is it that everytime a guy goes to bed in Fahnestock some fool has to throw three or four tin cans down the stairs which roll, and crash, and smash, and bang, and hammer, and boom, and rattle, and grind, and clang and growl, and snort, and tear, and wheeze, and biff, and bust, and lam, and rip, and rap only to be carried up and thrown down again.
