Dr. F. J. Kelly, director of the
training school of the Kansas State
Normal School, has just been noti
fied of his appointment to the dean
ship of the school of education of
the University of Kansas at Law
rence. This promotion comes as
recognition of the distinctive ser-
ice, .whfofc Mr. Kelly has rendered
the past year as director of the train
ing school. He has stood for' higher
standards of preparation for teachers,
and to this end has started a scheme
of apprenticeship teaching in the city
schools of Emporia, whereby a certain
number of young teachers, before re
ceiving the life certificates to teach
shall have spent a. semester working
under a. strong city teacher in a thor
oughly practical and efficient school

had the benefit of extensive observa-
tion in the training school, and of
supervision by the training . school
teachers.
The number of pedagogical courses
required as prerequisite for this teach
ing baa been Increased, also, thereby
giving to more prospective teachers
the methods of teaching advocated by
the heads of several departments of
the Normal School.
The training schools over the coun
try are largely practice schools. The
two changes noted above have allowed
Mr. Kelly to enlarge two other aspects.
'namely, the laboratory school for veri
tying theories advanced in the educa
tional courses, and the model school,
to show to the coming generation of
teachers what the Normal School
stands for in educational lines.
Mr. Kelly will not give up his work
In the training school this semester,
but may spend a part of his time in
hins new position. His ideals and con
struct! ve ability should do much to
ward carrying forward the work of the
University School of Education.
Air. Kelly grew up on a Nebraska
farm and knows the work of the Kan
sas people from intimate experience,
He completed his A- B. work in the
University of Nebraska in 1902, secur
ing a state certificate at that time.

CALDWELL STUDENT OF WAR
He is Well Informed on Anglo-French
Loan Arguments Pro and
Con
Prof. Howard W. Caldwell is an
ardent student ond observer of the
European war. Lately he has become
very much interested in the proposed
floating of a huge (Anglo-French loan
in this country. With great diligence
he has read up on evrything pertain
ing to this subject. Then after care
fully digesting all the arguments pro
and con he began to think.
One of the arguments n favor of the
proposed loan s that put forward by
Mr. HilL He says that the only chance
we have to sell our wheat crop is to
float the Anglo-French loan in this
country. "If we do not." he continues.
" the allies will buy elsewhere, and
we shall be unable to sell our crops.'
Professor Caldwell cannot reconcile
this statement with actual facts. He
began to wonder where the allies could
buy that they are not already buying
and where they could buy without
keeping up the exchange level. Thus
he has come to the conHnnion tbt th
arguments advanced by the men who
are behind the proposed loan are not
substantiated by facts.

HAS HIS EYE ON
COMING BULLDOGS
NEBRASKA MENTOR VIEWS FACTS
AND FIGURES SKEPTICALLY
CHAMBERLAIN STAYS AT END
Big Man Fixture There Lively Scrim,
mage with Freshmen at M Street
Yesterday Coach Institutes Gen
eral Work on Fundamentals
General brushing up in football fun
damentals with an eye to the approach
ing game with the Drake Bulldogs oc
cupied yesterday's practice period at
M street park. A lively scrimmage
with the Freshmen, in which the Var
sity showed pleasing form, was the
big feature on the workout program.
The practice, although brilliant in
spots, made plain the fact that Coach
Stiehm must smooth, out the krinkles
in football form before next Saturday's
contest with the veteran Des Moines
athletes. Bear reports and last min
ute estimates of the comparative
strength of the two teams which are
issuing voluminously from the Iowa
metropolis are taken with a grain of
salt in the Nebraska football camp.
The simple fact remains that the coach
has no negotiable line on the strength
of the Bulldogs, and he is taking pre
cautions to see that the Husker ma
chine will be prepared for an unex
pected flash of strength on the part
of the Iowans.
Chamberlain will enter the Drake
contest at end, if things do not radi
cally change within a very short time.
The big man is showing up to a de
cided advantage, as are both Reese and
Gardiner, who are alternating at the
right half position- Doyle at full is
playing a much improved game all
around than he showed at any time
last season, with the possible excep
tion of the Iowa game. His punting is
likely to prove an Indispensible asset
to the Husker machine. Otoupalik,
the other aspirant for the position, is
playing a strong game, featured by
fierce line plunging, and a pretty fight
is on between these two men for the
place.
Military Department
There have been 288 recruits added
to the University regiment The en
rollment Is smaller than usual on ac
count of the large number of men
reprieved for outside work. The plan
followed this year differs from that of
past years, in that the officers and non
commissioned officers of the regiment
are drilling the recruits rather than
paid Instructors.
The new men are divided Into
squads of eight and are being in
structed in the mere rudiments of mili
tary drill No company drill has been
attempted as yet.
Although a large cumber of non
commissioned officers bare not report
ed, the number is lower than that of
previous years. Only six officers la
the tneire regiment, however, have
failed to report.
Pre-Medical Meeting Friday
The Pre-medics will bold a "pep"
meeting Friday evening at & o'clock
in U. 210. Every Pre-medlc is urged
to be present and to bring a Fresh
