PLANS FOR SUMMER SCHOOLS DUisrenc tknfra In. Preparations tr Kaaanlantlens mm (lunmnff. nnt-Dtnui for a. dally Trnnled Mf. Members of tha Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska have expressed their satisfaction over the many laudatory article that have been appearing In for eign and horn publications regarding the Shakesperlan research of Dr. and Mr. Wallace, Dr. Wallace being assistant pro fpsor la English at the State university. Last summer, when Dr. Wallacs made the announcement of hla discovery of Im portant paper bearing on tha life of Shakespeare, and locating without doubt the Qlobe theater. In which the Immortal poet owned stock, the regents promptly granted him leave of absence to continue his work. Recently man' foreign students have expressed their great appreciation of th work being don by th Wallaces, and In each interview given out and in each article written the University of Nebraska comes in for a portion of the credit tor the work done. Dr. and Mrs. Wallace are expected to re main In London, digging Into the old, musty papers of the record house for the re mainder of the year, and Information has already been received that he will have something of a sensational character to make public when he returns to his home. Registrar Harrison of the State university has Just completed the compilation of sta tistics on the dellnquences among the students. His report shows that the fail ures and conditions among the fraternity men of the school waa 15 per cent last sea son and only 11 per cent thla year. The de linquency for all the students last year was 11 per dent, and this year it has been cut down to S per cent. Registrar Harrison says that the de linquency fo rthls year la really less than 9 per cent. In making hia statistics he Ig nored the grades made by the co-eds and simply compiled a list of the failures among tha male atudenta. Th girla of the school are better students than the boys, and If their grades were averaged with those of the males th per cent of delinquency would b placed at a much lower level, probably S per cent.

HARVARD COIRSB IN PRIXTIXO. Post Graduate token! of Bnalaes Offer aa Attractive Branch. The Harvard graduate school of busi ness administration hakea provisional an nouncement of oenrses of Instruction in tended especially for men, already college graduates, who wish to prepare for admin istrative positions In the printing or pub lishing business, or In the allied tradee. In making this announcement the school lay stress on ths fact that the technical part Of thla training la only subsidiary to the general business training which the School offers to all candidates for Its degree, whether their calling be that of the banker, the accountant, the textile manufacturer or the railroad operator. Instruction In the principles of accounting, commercial law, factory organization and economic re sources Is required for all; and the proe pectlv printer, publisher or paper manu facturer may specialise to some extant In any of these subjects as well as in th courses Included under the head of printing. These are described aa follows: A new course In the history of printing offered by the department of fine arts to undergraduate In Harvard college, and counting as a half-course. Two of th ex isting undergraduate courses In drawing, painting and design will also, In connec tion with the regular work, give special at tentlon to the needa and problems of print ing as related to the fine arts. A course on the technique of printing of fered in the business school. This course will give a survey of the materials and technical processes connected with print ing: Ink, paper, type, printing machinery, etc, each division of th general subject being In charge of a professional expert This will be a half-course In ths second half-year. For the second year of the two years' course there Is announced an advanced oourae In businesa practice In printing, in cluding vislta to printing establishments, and reports on printing office organisation, costs and accounting, exercises In th prep aration of copy, proofreading, reports on book printing, catalogue making and Job work. - Thla Course will be In charge of an Instructor who has a general experience of printing and publishing. Interesting to him. In the second year there will probably be advanced Instruction In th application of the principles of design to printing (the type page, title pages, ornamentation, illus tration, color - scheme, binding, etc.). A course will probably be given alao on the various 'arts of reproduction, such as half tone and line-plat engraving, photo-color work, lithography, etc. In addition to the general training in businesa administration, and to the special work related to printing, persons Intending to specialise in certain departments, auch as the manufacture of Ink, paper or print ing machinery, may obtain In the school of applied science such fundamental train ing In ohemlstry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and other subjects as will equip them to study, later on .the scientific problems peculiar to their several specialties. It will be observed in all this provision for the training of printers that the ob ject is rather to teaoh men how to meet the problems of their trade scientifically than to givt them before-hand a mastery of those practical details which can only be acquired by actual experience In the office or shop. The students will bs Initiated Into this practical work, however, by opoftunitles provided them for work during th summtr vacation. This new departure in university train ing has been started with the hearty co operation of the Boston Society of Printers and Is In fact a response to th expression of their desire for the recognition of printing as a subject In which university preparation la no desirable than In en- glnferlng, or in other lines of business Moreover, It is part of a larger program now In process of development In the bust ness school for specialised preparation for certain Important Industries. NOTABLR FRESH AIR SCHOOL. How th Youngster Ar Care a for Dnrlna Winter. Nothing more thoroughly "back to na ture" can be Imagined than the new out dor school for boys snd girls now being conducted successfully In Mount Airy, Pa. by sn enthusiastic fresh air advocate of that locality. Do not be mistaken. The school 1 not anything like fresh-air schools thst hav been atarttd before. It i not a hospital tent, a place for aick children; not a new fangled method of treating Incipient tuber culosls, or a fad, born in a fanciful wo man's brsln and liable to die out at any moment but an up-to-date, well-appointed place of Instruction where live, able-bodied boys and girls are tsught th traditional three Rs and the rest of a primary school's curriculum. When Miss Ellen RCanney Mills first started the "outdoor achoot" she wss met with a storm of opposition. Parents In the neighborhood said she was crasy and would not permit their little ones to attend. "Why wait for the tuberculosis germ to enter the lungs snd start work before be coming a disciple of the fresh-air theory?"' sh reasoned. "If oxygen Is good after ths disease has taken hold, it's better before. No one evr contrscted consumption out doors." With arguments like these the woman pounded at the doubting eara of th few who would llBten to her, and finally a year or two ago started har first clasa. That Class has grown so rehiarksbly that five assistants ar needed to help her In struct th big gathering h now has in charge. Miss Mils' school Is the only on in th entire world that ha on its roA none but absolutely healthy and perfectly normal children. At first th sight of four score or more youngsters, during winter, calmly seated, ensconced In tbelr clumsy, Eskimo-Ilk garments, on benches before the little school houss on Boyer street, created lots Of excitement In the quiet neighborhood, particularly when the mercury In the ther mometer took a rapid downward courss and registered somswber near th sero mark. Several time pasaersby with over-aus-ceptlble nerves muttered threat to "in form the society snd force that misguided teacher to bring those little dears In by the fire," but nothing ever csme of them. Miss Mils went right ahead, turned up her collar when a flurry of anew fell, and stuck to her theory. Catch ooldf Not a bit of It Every young ster Is tuck feet first In a weolen-llned canvas bag fitted with a strong drawing string that fastens tight at ths waist and1 keeps old winter's frosen breath front nip ping the tender legs. Ear tsba, stout Jack eta, warm mufflera and soft mittens fur ther protect the full-blooded little bodleo and thoroughly discourage any premedi tated attacka of lagripp and hla active brother, pneumonia. And so ths school baa grown In popu larity. Mothers who send their children to "Miss Mills" tell their neighbors that "Johnny hasn't had a cold all winter" or "Ruth doesn't know what a snr throat la thla year," and more converts ar mad to th fresh-air theory on the spot. VXIVEHSITY OP WISCONSIN. Dedication of New t'lnb Hone and tiysnnaalam for Girls. Friday afternoon, April L th women of the unlversty held the formal dedica tion exercises in Lathrop hall, the new dub house and gymnasium for tha girls of the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Anna Oarltn Spencer of the New Tork School of Philanthropy delivered the principal ad dress of the day, speaking on "The Per sonal Development and Social Responsi bilities of Women." Lsthrop hall Is a four story buff sandstons structure, 6jx2 feet, roofed with red tile. It faces south on University avenue, directly west of Chad bourne hall, the . present women's dor mitory. This site was chosen that ths building might form a part of tha pro posed' women's quadrangle, ths center of all the Interests of the women on the campus. Additional dormitories are to be built about It In the near future. The new building includes, besides a lsrge gym nasium and a swimming pool, with show ers, lockers, dressing rooms and hair-dry-lng facilities, a dining hall accommodating fifty at a time, which will bs open all day long, a kitchen, a large reception hall for social entertainments, an auditorium and music hall, offices for the various wom an's organisations, t headvlser of women and members of the department of phy leal training for women, reading, writing and rest rooma, bowling alleys, rooms for. ths physical training of defective, and th class rooms and laboratories of ths department of horns economics. A special guest of th university on this occasion was Mr. Oardlner Lathrop of Chicago, solicitor for the Santa Fa railroad, who Is a son of Chancellor Lathrop, the first bead of the Institution, for whom the building Is named. A thorough Inspection of all rooming and boarding houses for students at the university ha been begun under the aus pices of the hygiene committee of the family, to determine the hygienic and sanitary condition of each. Th score- card system of regulation of living con dltlons for students at the university is here adopted for the flrat time, on the basis of th score-card for dwellings origi nated by Prof. John R. Commons of the department of political economy, and used In the Pittsburg aurvey. A full report of the ventilation, plumbing, cleanliness, lighting, heating and general surroundings is being made out by the Inspector and kept In the office of the committee chair man. Defective conditions found are re ported to the owner and occupant and steps will be taken to compel all offering accommodations for atudents to maintain a reasonable standard of living conditions. WANT SPECIALLY TRAINED MEM Demand Exceeds Supply, I Testimony of President James. After th diatribe recently delivered against higher education by Richard T. Crane of Chicago, it is refreshing, to hear tha testimony of gresident James of the University of Illinois, who says that the demand made upon his institution for col lege trained men ha been faV'ltf excess of the supply since courses bx'. business ad ministration were established there seven years ago. These courses aim to,,, provide a liberal education with training in some special business field. Men who take these courses enter mercantile houses,' trust com panies, insurance concerns and railway of fices. About sighty men have had this kind of special training from the Illinois Inatl tutlon, and most om them have good busi ness positions or have gone Into business for themselves. President James says that man ytlmes this number could easily have found favorable openings in business estab lishments, comments the Springfield Union, One testimonial of this character Is worth more than any amount of criticism. The in stance serves to bring to mind the steadily broadening aphere of university nedeavors. Th University of Illinois haa a achool of architecture with 256 graduatea to Its credit. A canvass has revealed that 81 per cent of the living graduates of this department ar actively engaged in the profession for which they were trained. These are merely suggestions of what it is possible for higher education to do In aid of commerce and Industry, combining a general cultural education with special training. The truth is that the college man becomes an able factor In business, if ha has th right stuff In htm to begin with, whlls th college man with special training to go along with the general development obtained at college has the kind of equipment that will make him a winner if any sort of preparation will avail to make a success out of him. As th advantage of sucih education be comes better understood large business and technical concerns will look mor and more to th universities for men to fill re sponsible plaoea, and Mr. Crane's narrow view of what constitute a proper tralnnlng for business success will steadily lost favor. Thus far th wast has done more than the east In the way of adapting university course to the varied needs of modern life. Our eastern Institutions can wall afford to study ths example of the newer universities of the west and thereby b aided In putting their work mors fully in touch with ths times. Edaeatlonal Note.

D., April J.-(8pecll.)-On next Friday, April s, some iOO master printers of this stste will assemble In Mitchell for the purpose of finding out how much It costs them to do business. This gathering will be unique, not only In that It will be probably the largest meeting of newspaper men and printers ever held in the state, but also in the peculiar object for which they will meet. Butchers, clothiers, butter mskers, busi ness men of every kind know exactly what their warea cost them, but not one printer tn a hundred knows what it costs him per hour to do ptlntlng.
