The lone and sufficient reason
for writing a lead paragraph on

pabulum of Interest to the student

least give it a cursory glance. If
you belong to something, the announcement of its meeting will appear in this column. If you don't

More than 5.500 (picture postcards from all over the world are
Included in the collection now being assembled by the library under
the direction of Miss Margaret
Tuttle. Miss Tuttle has requested
that all students who have cards
which they would be willing to contribute, bring them to any of the
librarv rleskji am unnri a noulhl.
Many of the leading libraries of
the country possess postcard collections, but this Is the first to be
assembled In Lexington. The uses
of such a collection to a library
are manifold. It is useful from
a geographical standpoint, giving
as It does pictures of all parts of
the world, representing scenery,
customs and costumes of the people.
The art postcards, representations of famous paintings, murals,
etc., of which there are many in
the collection, are valuable for the
use of art classes as well as general use of the people. Many of
the cards give pictures of historic
spots and are thus useful from a
historical standpoint. Some public
libraries use the postcard collection largely as a guide to those who
are planning trips abroad.
The library collection now includes pictures from all the countries of Europe, with especially
large and complete collections of
Italian and Spanish cards. The
art cards from Italy are especially
noteworthy, being in many cases
excellent reproductions of famous
paintings and sculptures. Of special historical interest are the cards
from England, for this section are
included large numbers of pictures
from the homes of Shakespeare and
Scott and other famous literary
figures, as well as of Westminster
abbey, Stirling and Warwick castles
and Gibraltar. An unusual part of
the collection is the set of cards
from Tangiers and Morocco.
Besides the cards from foreign
countries, the collection includes a
large number of excellent pictures
from all over the United States.
This part gives reproductions of
plates from the Chicago Art institute, especially pictures of the
sculptures of Loredo Taft; scenes
from the homes of famous Americans; pictures of the campuses and
buildings of all the leading colleges
of the country; and a collection of
pictures of the country's largest libraries.
The Kentucky group Includes some rare and old cards now
out of print and Impossible to procure except from private sources.
The cards comprising the collection to date have been received
from a number of different sources.
The Hispanic society was responsible for 544 cards representing the
South American and Central American countries.
In Lexington the
largest contributions were from
President and Mrs. McVey, Miss
Margaret I. King, Mrs. Ralph N.
Maxson, "and from the er.tte of
Anna J. Hamilton, former dean of
women.
The library is desirous of urging
the students to contribute what
they can to this collection, as even
the smallest contributions are acceptable and help to complete the
usefulness of the collection. Some
samples of the cards Included in
it will be on display in the downstairs lobby of the library today.

and It Is truly modern. The fact
that the story is so unusual Is
probably the cause of the play having been such a success in New
York recently.
"Death" is personified and literally "takes a holiday." Taking human form, he decides that during
his holiday there Is to be no death
of any kind. There will be no
fatal accidents, no murders, of any
kind either animal, human, or in
nature. He tries to gain admittance to the house of Duke Lambert, but this he cannot do, for
everything he touches, he kills. In
an agreement' between "The
Shadow" and Duke Lambert, it is
agreed that he may stay In the
house for three days, since the
Shadow had done a great favor for
the Duke. Mysterious happenings,

Department In
augurates New Personality Development
Bureau

Because of the numerous requests
for the improvement of personal
adjustment to life situations which
have been coming to the depart
ment of psychology at the University, this department has decided
to establish a new service to meet
this need. The new Personality
Development service will be avail
able without cost to students of
the University and to the various
social agencies and school authorities.
The department has in mind a
broader service than it has hitherto been able to offer through the
Psychological clinic and the Per
sonnel bureau. This will be Intended primarily for the usual children and adults, and not merely
for problem cases, which have been
handled by its Psychological clinic
for the past 10 years. This service
will Include questions of the im
provement of personality, vocational guidance, mental well being.
special training and the various
problems which are undertaken by
personnel officers in the public
schools or in business and industry.
Four hours are to be set aside
each week for interviewing those
who care to consult the depart
ment. These hours are from 3 to 5
p. m. on Tuesdays and 10 to 12
a. m. on Saturdays. Appointments
must be made in advance by calling at the office of the department
or by telephoning No. 84 on the
University exchange. This enlarge
ment of the regular service has
been made possible by the coopera
tion of a number of graduate students who haye been fitting themselves to be technical assistants in
this work. Besides Dr. J. B. Miner.
Dr. O. B. Dimmick, who las charge
of instruction In the diagnosis of
personality development, Dr. Henry

EDUCATIONAL BULLETIN
Many startling facts are revealed
in the March issue of the bulletin,
published by the state department
of education, concerning the status
of education and educational institutions in Kentucky.

Assembly created the present commission "to make a thorough study
of public education in Kentucky,
revision of
and to recommend
the school laws." Pres. Frank L.
McVey Is a member of this commission which is headed by the
Hon. James H. Richmond, superintendent of public instruction.
According to this bulletin, Kentucky's educational rank. In comparison to that of other states, has
not advanced In 20 years! It still
ranks about fortieth among the
states. The grand old state, with
