But According to Dr. Redman, It's Hard to Make Him Learn
RESPONSIBILITY IS NECESSARY
Industrial Fellow Who Tried It Says Enforced Class Attendance Does Not Develop Character
Dr. L. V. Redman of the industrial chemistry department is emphatic in his ridicule of the system of compulsory attendance to classes which is in vogue in the majority of our American colleges. Dr. Redman was educated at the University of Toronto, from which some of the greatest men in science and letters of America have come.
The method in use there is that in their freshman year and part of the sophomore the students are required to attend class with the up-</sup> it, so option.
"What is a university for," demands Dr. Redman, "if it is not to train the students to become real wives and women with no responsibility to themselves at least?"
"No person upon first receiving hi-
freedom knows how to conduct him-
self properly and that is the reason
that at the University of Toronto
the student is gradually brought into
the duty to himself and his fellows.
"It isn't the mere attendance to classes and the obeying of the rules of the university that make real men. I have known fellows who went through their four years collegiate course and never broke a rule or scarcely missed a class who are not worth the snap of your fingers today.
"Take Woodrow Wilson for instance. I am not a politician and don't care whether he gets elected or not but I certainly admire him as a man. When he was in school he had the reputation of being exceedingly irregular in his attendance to classes and the vengeance of the faculty was brought down on his head more than once. His time was spent, however, in digging out deeper stuff in the library. A man like Woodrow Wilson is worth ten thousand of the average students of today.
"It it isn't grammar school methods we need. It is a system by which we can train men to be dependable. If a fellow can't be relied on to attend classes at least when be becomes a junior he should be kicked out. We have too many nambypambyus sort of fellows around, as it is."

GERMAN JOKES MADE HIT
AT ARKANSAS CITY HIGH
Arkansas City High School, March 11. The copies of the Daily Kansan received last week by the Kansan department were greeted hilariously. Every student of German could be seen with a copy tucked under his arm or protruding from a contort pocket. The German humor made a "hit" with all. The Sonor German class sang "Crimson and the Blitz." in German and the song who is for intimate enough to be taking German has expressed the wish that there be more such papers sent out even if it be only in the single copies.

FACULTY RULES AGAINST KANSAN IN STUDY HOUI
By Herbert Schall.
The Daily Kansan is kept on file, and read with interest by the students, especially the upper classmen. So many of the students are interested in the paper, in fact, that some of the faculty have made a rule that the pupils must not read the Kansan in study hours.

While attempting to pour alcohol into a chafing dish, last Saturday, two students at 1340 Tennessee, Mildred Manley and Arizona Johnson were burned slightly about the head. The flame in the lamp was not extinguished as they supposed and when more alcohol was poured in, the flames flared up in the girls' faces. The curtains and several pennants in the room caught fire, but the fire was soon extinguished. The girls were more frightened than hurt. —Kansan 3-11-12.
