SOLD WITHIN THREE HOURS
Nine Hundred More to Be Placed on
Sale This Morning Today
Last Chance
The first bunch of 900 copies of the
Student Directory for 1916. placed on

out within three hours. Beginning at
9 -o'clock this morning, the last of the
supply slightly over 700, will be put
on the counters in University hall and
the Library. Today will be the last
day of sale.
The Directory, which is the largest
and most complete ever issued, met
general favor yesterday. Copies were
gobbled up as fast as they could be
handed out, and many students found
the supply exhausted when they ar
rived on the scene.
There are twenty more pages in
this year's booklet than there were in
the directory of 1915-16, and it is
slightly larger in size. The name, ad
dress and affiliation of every student
is listed in the book. The plan of
tabulating the students in an index
of towns in which they live has been
used again this year. The home and
office addresses and telephone num
bers of all faculty members are in
dexed in the front of the book.
Leather bound directories, which
can only be had by special order this
year, may still be purchased if Carl
Hanrsberger. business manager, is im
mediately notified. The regular paper
covered edition sells at twenty cents.
Dean Charles Fordyce, Prof. Her
bert B. Brownell, Prof. Charles W.
Taylor, Dean George W. Luckey and

today for the state teachers' conven
tion in Omaha. Many of the seniors
in the teachers' college will attend to
take advantage of this opportunity to
meet the teachers of the state with
whom they will be prospective candi
dates for teaching next year. In
these conventions a good deal of at
tention is given to the study o; teach
ing material in the various courses
and to the best methods of procedure
in teaching technique. The conven
tion is therefore of great value to the
teachers' college.
Charles W. Gilke. who speaks at

of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. His
subject promises to be most interest

meets at Cincinnati during the holi
days. The subject is "The Fresl.iian

Kansas victory over Oklahoma in six
years, last Saturday, threatens to

SHOULD GIRLS
tMKEOWN WAY
MRS. WOOLMAN SPOKE FOR
PRACTICAL TRAINING
Every Girl Should Know the Value of
a Dollar Describes Trade
School
"I wish every single girl in the
United States had to make her own
living," Mrs. Mary Schenke Woolman,
chairman of the women's committee
of the National Society for the Promo
tion of Industrial Education, told an
astonished audience yesterday after
noon at the tea given in Faculty hall
in her honor.
"I may be wicked," Mrs. Woolman
continued, "but I would have all girls
know the worth of a dollar. Then they
would get the best results at the least
expense."
Mrs. Woolman spoke briefly of the
work of the Manhattan trade school
of New York, which she organized in
1902. The schol was conducted until
1910 by philanthropic donations. Then
the board of education took charge,
and Mrs. Woolman having successful
ly started the work, resigned.
Practical Trades
Girls from 14 to 16 years of age are
taught dressmaking, millinery and
other practical trades. They attend
the school for one year and at the end
of the time they are able to hold po
sitions paying on the average six dol
lars per week.
Mrs. Woolman spoke of the types
of girls the school had to deal with,
girls whose food consisted of coffee,
cheap bananas and cakes; girls, many
of whom slept in rooms with no win
dows, and who took no care of their
physical condition. "Many are sewed
up in their clothe3 in the fall," she
stated. "They are supposed to blos
som out in their spring clothes, but
terflies they are likely to come out
angels."
Parents objected strongly to medi
cal examinations, Mrs. Woolman said.
"One of our greatest problems was to
get the girls in proper physical con
dition." Cooking of Inexpensive food
in an inexpensive way was taught
She commented on the fact that the
girls did not have to be urged to be
neat and clean, but that the very at
titude of the school demanded it.
Miss Conklin Hostess
Mrs. Woolman will speak at convo
cation at 11 today, auer which She
leaves to attend the teachers' associa-
tion in Omaha, where she is to speak.
Miss Clara Conklin, head of the de
partment of romance languages, was
hostess at the tea. Miss Julia Vance
poured tea.
bet a dollir that Ed could beat Rudy.
Squirt Owen bet two dollars that he
couldn't, and Ed, after wtiMng in
vain for some good gambler, bet an
other dollar on himself. A "neigh
bor girl" held the stakes.
Tuesday, the chosen day, was as
dreary and cold as could be, and
along toward night it grew drearier
and colder. Ed Shoemaker, accom
panied by a, delegation of admiring
brothers, and Theta s. walked bravely
toward his fate. Fuchs could not be
found so while the brave one and his
little band waited. Squirt Owfn dash
ed hither and yon in search of his
prize possession, and finally discov
ered him in a class room. Squirt was
Rudy's official trainer; hence his ex
citement. At 5:.'!0, the sprinters appeared,
clad in track suitH. ready for the fray.
Blip Dorin, official starter, did his
duty and the two Mercuries were off.
Ofli'itil reports say that all of Chey
enne county rooted for Ed, while the
wise ones rooted for Fuchs howe'er
it may be, Fuchs won and it is rum
ored that Squirt bought him the best
pair of track shoes In town. The girls
were treated to a bag of popcorn and
everyone went home.
There is a "race predjudice" smong
some of the men at the D. U. house.
