BEAUTY LEFT BY THE M0ORS
Gardens Of Southern Spain Have
Charm That 10 Seen Nowhere
Else in Europe.

The gardens Of Spain, with a few
notable exceptions, were not laid out
on the grand scale Of those Of the
Italian villas near Rome, nor of the
more magnificent of the French cha
teaux, but they have romantic flavor
of their own and charm that Is
quite unlike that of any other Euro
pean gardens-a charm that, In no
small measure, can be directly traced
to the influence of the Moorish occu-
patton.
This Moorish influence Is particu-
larry apparent In the gardens Of
southern Spain (and they, after all,
are the most characteristic, where
the vegetation is semi-tropic in char
acter, and where palms and myrtles
and thickets of citron and orange
trees give truly African quality to
the landscape. Perhaps as character
istic as any of these southern gardens
are the Jardines del Alcazar in Seville.
OF the original Alcazar, huge for
tress that formed the main military
bulwark Of tie city little or nothing
remains. ii had been built I'm The
Twelfth century by the Sultan abu
Yakub Iuaul, phg same enlightened
monarch who had caused the great
mosque to be erected, Of which the
court Of oranges and the world-famcd

TO READ The ADS
Liberal Education in Newspa-
per Advertisements Says Prof.
Many Suggestions for Kansas
Teachers He Declares.

A liberal education may be acquired
by reading the advertisements in
newspapers and magazines. declares
ri H. Dulebohn, superintendent of
schools at Hill City. Kan, writing in
the January number of the Kansas
Teacher, official organ of the Kansas
State Teachers association, issued to-
day
Few teachers of art, domestic
science, manual training, geography,
agriculture or English realize what a
wide and fertile field of supplementary
subject matter is available in the ad-
vertising section of our better class
magazines and periodicals. Superin-
tendent Duleborn states
Suggestions For Teachers.
1.-THE pages are bristling with sug-
gestions that the enterprising teacher
can use for giving information or in
sitting ideals. The illustrations are
works of art. Their purpose is to at
tract and to please. The space, a
single page of which may cost thou
sands of dollars, is wasted if the ad-
vertisements fail to accomplish these
ends. Hence, only the most expert of
illustrators and color artists are em~
ployed by the big advertising firms.
The English, also the work of experts,
is a model of clearness, terseness and
force, and as such may be studied with
profit by almost anyone"
Laying emphasis upon the value of
advertisement illustrations to the art
teacher, the writer continues:
Advertisements can be even more
useful to the domestic science teacher.
New recipes and ways of using new
food may be cleaned from the adver-
tisements of food produces. Many
manufacturers will, upon request, send
recipe books and international ma
terials about their products. Textile
and clothing ads embody many prac-
teal suggestions Of style, comfort. con-
venience, color schemes and designs
which the resourceful teacher or stu
dent can adapt to her own use. Pat
terms in silver, styles in furniture,
correct setting of a table, artistic ar
rangement of furniture in a room,
labor-saving machinery for the home
all these ideals can be illustrated
from advertisements by the wide
awake teacher of domestic science"
Some Good Examples.
Declaring that advertisements in the
better class periodicals furnish some
of the very best examples of modern
English prose writing. Superintendent
Duiekohn says in the article:
'tThey are clear, direct, forceful de-
scription, exposition or augmentation
such as successful business, men use.
The English much be the best, for
space costs money; the argument must
be presented in a clear. terse, forceful
way that carries conviction, else the
space is wasted. Students naturally
enjoy reading ads, and when their at
tention is called to the good points of
the style they naturally adopt some of
these qualities into their own compo-
sitions. Students enjoy answering ads

STADIUM IS SURE
X. S. A. C. to- Start Construction
ON One Section Soon.
Friends of College in Manhat-
tan Ready to Contribute.

Completion of at least one section
of an Aggie memorial stadium before
the opening of the 1922 football sea-
son, is practically assured. A com
dent w. NJ. Jardine, voted to make q
start towards the erection, as soon
as possible. of % stadium that should
be a fitting memorial for the Aggies
who lost their lives in the war. A
subcommittee, of which r. A. Sea-
ton, dean of engineering, is chair
man, is now working out the con-
struction details. The tentative plan
is that the structure shall be built
of native Kansas stone and that the
total cost, when finished, shall APP
proximate 100000. 1t is not likely
completed this year.
Only Part This Year.
"In view of the general economic
depression we could not think of call
ing upon @our alumni for the full
100000 within the next year." said
the depression is past, we hope. The
year 1922 is expected to bring with it
better business conditions generally.
but already there are friends of
the college residing in Manhattan
ready to give enough during 1922 to
complete the first section. We shall
bend every effort toward ths com
pIetion of the first section, with a
seating capacity of five thousand per-
sons, before the opening of the foot
ball season next fall"
The four. sections of the finished
structure will seat 10000 persons, it
is planned. The space underneath the
seats will be utilized for locker rooms,
showers, recreation centers, and club
rooms for old grads and others. With
the growth of intramural athletics. at
K. S. A. C. the floor space of Nichols
gymn- SUM has become taxed to ca
pacity- It is planned that provisions
for taking care of future growth in
intramura1 athletics may be made in
the space beneath the stadium.

The vested choir of the First Metho-

Kansas and is now ranked among the
first in this part of the country. The
choir has grown rapidly in member
ship in the last three years under the
leadership of Paul Lawless, director.
Altho greatly handicapped by the
loss of the organ. which burned dur
ing the church fire last summer, the
program for the seasons music has
not been altered in the least. The choir
has been systematically trained since
1918, in the careful study and per-
Torrance of the oratorio, and is now
studying the more difficult ones.
Practically every member of the
choir is a trained singer. The mem
bers of the choir have not confined
their work to sacred music entirely.
Under the name of the Topeka Grand
Opera society, they have present two
operas, THE Bohemian GIRL" by
Balfe and Mariana" by Wallace, in
costume and including scenery and
orchestra. The cost of each perfor-
nance was $500.

The Campanula, which is common to
many gardens, is also known as Venus
lookingglass. And, we are told, that
this is the way the latter name origi-

and wonderful mirror which had the
strange power of adding to the beauty
of the person who was reflected there.
Venus was beautiful but she could not

so she used this mirror frequently.
You can imagine her dismay and sor-
row when she found that she had in
someway nislaid or lost this treasure.
She searched for it high and low, and
far and wide, but she could not find
it. SO she called Cupid, her little boy,
and babe him go out upon the search.

THE ERROR OF GREECE

The popular clamor which placed Con- stantine again on the throne of Greece after the regime of Premier Veneze]os during the World War had given the Hellenes virtually a Democratic Government, appears to have re- pented of it's act. Today Greece, in flight from Asia Minor where she had sought to gam a foothold, is the victim of an ignominlous defeat at the hands of the Turks; thousands of her people have suffered massacre and death; Athens is in the hands of revolutionists; Con- stantine has abdcated in favor of his son and is reported to be in prison; the accession ot the Crown Prince is by no means assured, for the revolutionists are said to be strong for a republics; and so the country is back where 1t was when the banshment of VenlZelOs put an end to good progress toward what the country now clamors for. The lesson of Greece has been learned at terrific cost. Rather than sub init itself to imperaistic ambitions the nat ural product of enthroning a brother-in-aW of the ex-Kaser and an undisputed German svmpathizer, Greece would have done far better to have kept to the councils of Venl- zelos, one of the keenest and Wlsest statesmen the country has had in modern times. Under his leadership Greece was restored to po- sition of dignity and strength which it had net enjoyed for many centuries. Greek history since his banshment is story of lamentabe incompetency. If in their ages-ong struggle with Mohammedanism the Greeks would hold the sympathy and good wishes of civilized peoples, they will do well to send for the form CT Premier and submit themselves again to his wisdom.
