THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Education for Young Is Vital in Wartime
The shortage of teachers today is a serious problem. Manpower shortages are obvious in every field at home and on the fighting front. The approaching absence of AST's on the campus makes students at the University more than ever conscious of the shortage of manpower in the Army. There just don't seem to be enough people available for the necessary jobs in our complex society, with the added burden of war
The abundance of population is young. Here the manpower shortage is realized in a lack of teachers for these young Americans. All over the country this shortage has become a community problem, a problem with which we must cope. Children all over the world are being robbed of their parents, their homes, their security, and their education for a democratic world.
The re-education of European and Asiatic children is perhaps one of the most important aspects of postwar reconstruction. But the problem of education can not wait until after the war. It is a present and vital problem. Young Americans must not be deprived of their education to live according to a free heritage. As has been said a true democracy exists when citizens accept responsibility as well as benefits of society, and education is necessary to realize this responsibility.
Teachers have been lost to the armed services and to defense plants and factories. Also fewer college students are preparing for this profession. Many opportunities are offered today which sparkle with glamorous patriotism and high salaries. Those who want to help their country to prepare for a better world will look toward the teaching profession. An unselfish profession, but one in which teaching the fortunate children in our country gives an unequaled satisfaction.
The manpower shortage in the teaching profession is a serious indication of lack of responsibility and culture in our society. We only hope that this situation is alleviated so young Americans can continue to be the luckiest children in the world.

Return of Frankenstein: The club foot cutie who has been dragging up and down the Hill in the early morning was still on the loose Monday night. This lone wolf who has been lulling the occupants of the girls' houses to sleep with quiet screams, has everyone wondering if he isn't one of Larned's inmates. The request has been made that he cut out the "kid stuff" for the duration of final week.

The question of who will miss who the most when the AST's leave is still a matter of controversy, but
those who prefer to date the army best are hoping they will be delayed until after the 11th. The reason: That is the date of the Junior Prom, when Chauncey Downs, who has recently been featured on the Fitch Bandwagon, comes to town.

List Water Resources Of Oil-field Areas
The underground-water resources of the oil-field areas of Ellis and Russell counties are described in Bulletin 50 just published by the State Geological Survey of Kansas. This investigation included a study of the quality and chemical nature of the water, the rocks yielding supplies of potable water, and the rocks in the Cretaceous system suitable for the disposal of brines produced with the oil. The report was prepared by Dr. John C. Frye of the State Geological Survey of Kansas and James J. Brazil, formerly of the Kansas State Board of Health. The investigation was carried out as a cooperative project of these state agencies and the Federal Geological Survey and the division of water resources of the State Board of Agriculture.
Tables in the report give data such a depth, water level, and chloride content of 232 water wells. Complete chemical analyses are reported for samples collected from 34 wells. The mechanical analyses and permeability of nearly 100 samples of sandstone and gravel are also listed in the report.
It was concluded in the report that the Cheyenne sandstone of Cretaceous age was satisfactory for the injection of brines because it is protected from these water-producing formations by overlapping shale.
