The play is an amusing critique on
the average man who fights the world
valiantly and never realizes that his
wife wins his battles for him.
Throughout the performance the
lines are Teplete with charming hu
mor and delightful wit.
Leonard Beebe, the hopeful young
clerk who reads "Success," takes
courses in correspondence schools, and
trusts himself implicitly, is played
by Oskar Hambleton. Mr. Hambleton is always excellent, but in this
role he surpasses himself. Young
Beebe blunders hopefully along, and
is rescued from each embarrassing
situation by his tactful wife, who, he
says, is "only a woman." The foibles
and weaknesses of the clerk keep the
audience in a continuous roar of
laughter and in the few serious scenes
the audience vacillates between smiles
and tears. Such is the versatility of
Mr. Hambleton.
The role of Elsie, Beebe's wife, is

TAYLOR, CHAIRMAN
U. of K. Men Asked to
Aid in Under-

taking

The Kentucky Educational Associ
ation, through the efforts of its president, Dr. Chas. A. Keith, of Rich
mond, is attempting to make an in
tensive study of the problems confronting Kentucky's public school
program. To assist him in working
out these problems, Dr. Keith has ap
pointed a number of committees, one
on research, another on taxation, a
third on educational publicity and a
fourth on' the
of school
laws.
W. S. Taylor, dean of the college of
education of the University of Ken
tucky, has been appointed chairman
of the committee on research which
comprises Professor A. C. Burton,
Superintendent R E. Hill, Supermten
dent J. F. Foust and Mr. George M.
Baker. The chairman of this com

mittee has stated that the great problem of the committee on research for
the next biennium will be to make a
careful study of state boards of edu
cation in order that this committee
may be of assistance to the committee
on legislation in drafting a bill that
will give to Kentucky a properly con
stituted state board of education
This, in the opinion of leading educators in Kentucky, is the greatest
need of Kentucky's public school pro
gram at the present time.
A second problem which this com
mittee will study carefully and in detail will bo that of proper certifica
tion law for the public school sys
tem.
S. E. Leland and M. E. Ligon,
both of the university faculty, have
been appointed members of these com
mittees; Mr. Leland on the committee
on school finance and taxation, and
Mr. Ligon on the committee on re
codification of state school laws.

LAW STUDENTS TO
HAVE NEW CLUBS
Winners Are to Enter
an Inter-CouContest
rt

From year to year in the college of
law, moot courts have been organized
and allowed to die out, Henry Clay
law societies have been installed and

gradually abandoned, but this year
real, live law clubs are being organized, and instead of slowly dying, they
will carry on throughout the year.
A plan which has been adopted by
several of the larger law schools, and
in every case have worked success
fully, will be tried here. Altogether
different from the old plan a num
ber of clubs will be organized so that
every student may be a member of
a club. Eight men will compose each
club, and they will form a court to
argue and conduct cases and to debate questions of law. The instruc
tors in the college of law will act as
judges. Members of the Lexington
bar have also volunteered to preside
in the several clubs.
Near the end of the second semes
ter, members of the different clubs
having the highest percentage of
cases won' in their respective courts
will represent the club in an
contest, the winner of which
Miss Clara
will receive a prize.
White, law college librarian, will act
as secretary of the clubs and the re
suits of the cases will be reported
to her. Several clubs are already
functioning and others are now in
the process of organization.
