From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 26, 1911:

• “The problems of the family have always been left to the wife to solve. Such questions as how to deal with spoiled children, domestic hygiene, education in the home, the ‘hired girl’ question and how to take care of family expenditures have seldom bothered the head of the household. Indeed, it has always been beneath his traditional dignity to meddle with petty affairs of the home. This precedent has been broken at the University of Kansas, however, where nine boys out of a class of twenty-three have enrolled for the new term to make a critical study of ‘The Family.’ Until the present time, this was the one course in the college curriculum from which it was deemed best to exclude young men. The growing importance of problems of the home, however, has overridden weak sentiment.”
• “It is the snow which is delaying the air flights at Woodland park. Aviator Evans has his aeroplane all assembled and would have taken advantage of the perfect weather today, had the field not been too wet and muddy to ask spectators to stand about in. If the snow melts sufficiently the first flights will be held at 4 o’clock tomorrow. Those anxious to see the bird-man may learn of the hour when flights will be held by watching the placards on the front of street cars.”
