Our bid for suggestions last week as to the commencement number of theCourier has borne valuable fruit and we acknowledge with gratitude the hints that have been given us.
A TIME for everything and everything at its time is a splendid motto and none but simpletons and children ignore it. That the conduct of some of the students in the hall last Friday was out of both time and place no one will deny. There are times when fun and even boisterousness are permissible but the throwing of overshoes and velling in the halls when classes are reciting certainly shows lack of good judgment. It looks like a country school just three weeks before vacation. We are always in for fun at the proper time but we want a sufficient occasion for it.
Ir has been suggested to us that the University ought to have more of its own college songs and we think so too. The students, when out on any occasion, feel, very much, the need of some rousing, catching, songs, not only to march by but to relieve the monotony of yelling. We undoubtedly have the best college yell in the United States, and what we want now are more loyal K. S. U. songs. Now let those who have poetic inspirations give expression to some of them in behalf of K. S. U. and we will gladly publish them. We are sure Prof. Penny would gladly compose easy music for the words or have his classes do so. In this way we could soon have quite a collection of good University songs. It would be a good idea to have the advanced English class write some lyric poems and then choose the best of them to be set to music.
THE last number of the "Chapman Howitzer" contains a very interesting and significant letter by Prof. S. M. Cook, principal of the Dickinson county high school, upon the condition and working of that institution. The results of county high school experiments in Dickinson county have been most gratifying and the people are proud of the school. The plan of the school as set forth by Prof. Cook, is certainly a hopeful one and so practical and economical is the scheme that quite a number of counties are now contemplating the erection of county schools. At present we believe there are only three such schools in the state but the number is increasing and we believe the time will come when every county will have its school. What a grand thing such a consummation will be for the University! No more excuses then for poorly prepared students for the
University. The counties as they establish the schools will look this way for principals and teachers to run them and the throbbing of the great heart of our Alm mater will be felt in every nook and corner of the state. This may seem a dream but time will see its fullfillment.
ONE more week then comes the tug of war. Of course there will be a certain number of failures but the students who fail are generally the last to anticipate such a result and they always have a fine excuse for the red cards which appear in the office against them. There is one advantage, however, in failing in two studies at the close of the year instead of at the end of the first term, in that it is much easier to explain matters at home. While some failures are inevitable we do not believe that there need be as many as there are. No student is predestined by his professor but he condemns himself. The professor expects his students to make the college course a business first and then a pleasure. The business student is the one who wins.
As matters now stand Baker has the lead in the base ball league. It is hardly a comforting thought to know that K. S. U. might have had that enviable position but for the unfortunate errors in the second inning of last Monday's game. That our boys played the strongest game is shown by the fact that they steadily regained their loss and were one run ahead at the beginning of the ninth inning. More nerve in the field and greater security at the bat is what we need. We regret very much the trickery that was resorted to by both nines. The running by Baker of two mem between bases and the action of our first basemen at the close of the game are excusable upon no grounds whatever and ought to be frowned upon. If a game cannot be won fairly it ought not to be won at all. Claim your rights with emphasis, boys, but by all means be honorable. If in the game tomorrow we beat Washburn we shall be even with Baker and we think we can vanquish the "doughnuts" in the next game.
This is the great season of the year for picnics, and parties. There are class picnies, faculty picnies, dry-weather and wet-weather picnirs, fraternity parties, fishing parties, and boating parties. The social side of University life is now predominant and will be till the end of school. Students feel that a year of hard work is almost completed and that a good time is now in order, and we agree. We are inclined to pity the student who grinds through the year and then skulks off home without the memory of a single pleasant and social event. We believe in spending ones life not in a grave yard but in a garden among the birds and the flowers.

"The Pharos" University of the Pacific gives an account of the splendid reception given to President Harrison during his visit to California. From the description the floral decorations must have been grand.
Professor J. H. Canfield, of the University of Kansas is at work upon a new lecture, entitled, "What is our Hope?" He has for so long struck so hard at existing social and political evils, that some regard him as a pessimist. The treatment of the new theme will present him in an entirely different light.

The following from the April "Focus" is too good to pass by. The "Focus" is one of our best exchanges and we always read it with pleasure:
A TOOTHSOME ARTICLE.
Pretty soon the dentist stuck his head into the door and told me that it was my turn. I asked him how he had disposed of the remains of my predecessors so easily. He smiled more sweetly than ever, and motioned me into the operating chair.
I threw my head back and opened my mouth. The dentist involuntarily grasped the sides of his chair, and said he believed he wouldn't come in because his feet were muddy. Then he ran his arm into my face and began to feel round somewhere inside. I seized his arm, dragged it out of my inside, and explained that my tooth was still in my mouth, that I had not swallowed it. He said yes, he knew it. I suppose he had personally investigated. I never experienced such an instance of fellow-feeling in my life.
"I've found it?" he cried, excitedly, at last.
"I've known where it was all the time," I answered with choking sarcasm.
The dentist turned to his desk of gleaming tools and picked out a machine that I have seen blacksmiths use when shoeing horses. The minute the cold steel entered my mouth I began to repent. It felt its fearful way along until it got to a tooth that suited it. The critical moment had arrived. The dentist leaned forward, platted his head against my chest, braced both feet against the writer, and said, "Now look pleasant—won't be long," and gave a mighty jerk. There was a cracking sound in my brain. a blinding flash of cerebral lightning, a sensation like the disintegration of worlds, and the tooth was out. I think the root was wrapped about my back bone, and had begun to sprout in the shoulder blade.
"She's a beauty," panted the dentist.
"She's the best thing out," I replied coldly.
Pi Beta Phi.
The reception given last Friday evening in Fraziers hall by the young ladies of the Pi Beta Phi fraternity was one of the most elaborate and delightful social affairs of the season. There were several pleasing features such as, the strictly formal reception, and a decidedly informal way of serving refreshments which gave charm and novelty to the occasion. Beautiful flowers were every where to be seen and in the gentlemen's dressing room buttonhole boquets of carnations, this being the fraternity flower, were in readiness to decorate each gentleman as he presented himself. Upon the stage was a long table covered with flowers and from which hung ribbons of the fraternal colors. The west end of the hall was strewn with handsome rugs and luxurious chairs, and lounges gave ease to those who preferred a quiet chat to a turn upon the perfectly waxed floor.
The ladies toilets, the music, the flowers and the decorations, all were arranged with the utmost harmony and taste and presented a picture not soon to be forgotten. The Riverside mandolin club furnished the music, several selections were rendered which were composed expressly for this occasion. A short
