High Schools and the University.
To the Editor of the Courier:
A score of days spent among as many high schools of the state is sufficient to convince the most skeptical that a radical change in their management is needed, not that they do not give their graduates a grammar school education, but that their preparation for the University is insufficient. This is more truly the case in the languages than in their other branches. Very few students who have been graduated from Virgil in a high school could take the University examination. Any student will tell you that the rigidity of the examinations surprised him in comparison with those he had been accustomed to pass with scarcely a misgiving. This is exactly why there are so many failures in the Freshman class.
It is a fact patent to those interested, that a great injustice is here worked to those who have no high school diplomas. The fact seems to be that the Faculty takes a student's a diploma as evidence prima facie that he is proficient in the preparatory branches. Yet any professor knows a few are, when reference is made to preparatory work. It is an injustice to the professor that such students be allowed in the classes, and it is detrimental to the student that he be allowed to enter unaecquainted with grammar school rudiments.
There is a difficult problem in the relation of Kansas high schools to the University which must be solved, and the University must solve it. High schools could be more rigid if they would, and they would if they had to. It is the desire of most of them to have a brilliant commencement, and to do this a large graduating class is necessary. Every year students are pushed through who are unable to name the presidents or work the rule of three, so that the graduating class might be larger, or that the student's feelings might not be hurt. Vanity and personalities and learning do not go well together. Yet a few high schools can be found which are not trying to combine the three.
The standard of the Kansas high school must be raised, or that of the University must be lowered. The choice lies with the latter, and it can afford to take but one course. The ways in which the high school can be bettered by the University need not be enumerated, but they are many. It is to the interest of both that this matter receive immediate attention from K.S.U.

The above communicatted touches upon a subject that is of vital importance to the University. A careful persual of the article will amply repay anyone for the trouble. We will have something to say on the topic later on.—Ed.

This is Poetry?
She can paint and she can crochet,
She can parlez vous française.
She sings like a flute-throated linenet;
She is good at bowls and tennis.
But as a cook her name is Dennis.
Force can absolutely say she isn't in it.
She can flirt and she can talk,
She enjoys a midnight walk.
And she is the pristiest little dancer on
the Kaw,
At eucher she's a daisy.
And she nearly sets me crazy,
But she does not know a crowbar from
a saw.
In society, she's a belle,
And she dresses mighty swell.
And all the latest music she can holler.
She's a disciple of Delsarte
She nearly breaks my heart,
But she can not bake a pancake for a
dollar.
—Poet-laureat to the Freshman.
AMUSEMENTS.
A great play by a first class company. "The County Fair" comes Wednesday, March 18th, and this production is likely to duplicate its New York success, and like the brook, run on forever. The production is well played, and the part of Abigail Prue, the cheery yet practical spinster, is attractive and humorous, while the other characterizations are well limed and clean-eut. That this play has honestly taken its place by the side of "The Old Homestead" as a winsome picture of rural New England life can not be gainsaid.
Two specially constructed baggage cars are used to transport the scenery and mechanism used in the comedy, "The County Fair."
Hear the great "County Fair" quartette.

"A Trip to Paris."
Last Friday evening a large audience of town people and students heard Prof. A.G. Canfield deliver an interesting lecture, entitled "A Trip to Paris."
Extracts from early history of European cities, personal reminences of travels on the continent, together with a large number of stereoptican views of interesting sights in and about Paris, highly entertained those who had availed themselves of the opportunity. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Philological club. This organization is the most active and successful of its kind connected with the University, and those who would be instructed and entertained, should keep a watchful eye of the Philological bulletine.
It is not the policy of the Courier to spoil a good lecture by attempting abbreviated extracts.

Logic class has its final examination today. Two hours ago you might have seen sixty students being ground between the upper and nether millstone of the great mill of knowledge and then subjected to the blue pencil bolting reel to see who composed the shorts and who the flour. It is to be hoped that the meshes in the cloth were large enough to make the shorts crop rather slim.
