PAGE TWO --- UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS SUNDAY, APRIL 10, 1928 928 Comment Do You Read the News? 1 Today's news is tomorrow's history. Yet a relatively small per cent of the entire population is aware of current changes, of foreign news and domestic situations. Like most provincials we are interested only in things that directly affect us. If farmers, we read the reports of one, perhaps two local newspapers about agricultural planning; if laborers, we read a little strike news now and then. Whether caused by laziness or disinterest- ness cannot be determined conclusively. The first reason seems to have the greater amount of support because the average individual, when comfortably seated in a movie house, appears quite interested in the newsreel. We need stimulation evidently. The Kansas City Star's brief questionnaire (where the reader scored himself on knowledge of current events) is such a device. The March of Time, over the air waves and on the screen alike, serves news in a palatable form. But reading news is another thing. On the whole, the population is better informed than it was 15 years ago. Yet if we could avoid war and its attendant evils, there is only one answer. Honest news that is non-popagandized insofar as possible should be administered to every adult and child alike. It should be much easier to understand trends in the modern society we know than those of the ancient societies our history texts describe. It's a far cry back to the days when our English ancestors paid toll on each stretch of turnipkie road they traversed. Yet the modern version of the turnipkie is cropping up all over today. Pay-as-you-go bridges, highways and other public works are progressing successfully. Perhaps it's a manifestation of a famous cycle called "history repeats itself" for only a few short generations back, the American cousins of the English ancestors mentioned above, were pushing westward by a series of tollgates at the state boundary lines. Modern Version Of the Turnpike This twentieth century renaissance of tolls works like this: a public work is needed; the city (or state) proclaims an authority to act as a non-profit-making holding company. Bond selling supplies the necessary capital to acquire land and buildings, and tolls furnish the interest on the bonds. San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, the Hayden Planetarium in New York, and New York's Holland tunnel are famous examples of the self-liquidating system now so prevalent. Loans are possible from some of the various government agencies such as RFC and PWA. The idea is sound if managed correctly but like every public benefit has its loopholes for losing public money. Careful investigation of all practical factors should precede the building. Checking for actual need, such as a count of cars daily over a certain trafficway, prevents mistakes in judgment. Civic pride develops in people and greater appreciation of the conveniences is shown when they pay their own way directly. It's a sound psychological as well as practical way of getting public improvements. Campus Opinion Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kaman.

A Dissertation for Children Jiden Delia Kawaiyu Editor, Daily Kansan; See the fence, children? It is a barbed wire fence. It is put in front of the library to keep little students from walking on the grass. Why don't they have signs? Why, children, don't you know that students don't believe in signs? Tell them. Isn't it pretty, stretched across the Campus there? Visitors to the Campus see enjoy it, too, for then they can ask what it is for and why college students need to be restricted so. See these prickly little points sticking out of the wire? They are barbs. Barbs you know, as in barbarian. They are used to force in cattle, horses, or students who cannot remember to stay off the grass. Will they hurt? W by, children, sent one boy to the hospital last week with badly cut hands, just missed the injury. "Forget what?"—that he wasn't to walk on the grass? No, children, he merely forgot that the fence was "When will they take it down? Well, probably not until the children who go to school at the University have grown up to be responsible men and women—that is, they want to protect the beauty of their own Campus." Too old to spank, children, and too young to take the responsibility of being adult men and women, these students must walk behind fences of barbed wire about the Campus. Grown Up. Approves Exchange of Students change student to Germany will not see touches me deeply, for I too, feel that John Coleman, and consequently all of Kansas University, is being deprived of one of the most important parts of an education because those nasty brown shirts don't exhibit their own culture when admission free) on the Berlin campus (see 187). Editor, Duty Kanshi* This is an open letter to "anti-fascist" or Mr. A.-- Jim O'Neill. 0. The sympathy is so strong. Your great concern over what the American ex- Furthermore, I believe something just must be about this terrible German camouflage, because I know (and it is quite common knowledge) that China and the United States have been involved in War Harry Wooding on a tour of CCC camps and has been given complete details concerning their operations. It is clear from the details of soft-soken German envoy to the University has been personally conducted on a survey of Kansas City's joints and "sanctuaries of seduction" by none other than Mr. Wooding. Compared to this "see all, hear all, tell all" spirit in America, the observations of the Kettering Museum in the picture which strikes the eyes of the blind man who falls into the earl. It has been removed that the museum is to be installed except when in the class room and can step out for a beer only when flanked by two of Hermann Wilbiele My remedy for this displabile situation is to send some student to Germany such as "anti-fascist", who will have the privilege of writing home the gruesome details of the Nazi persecution of "morniertes" in a thrilling exposé of vial indictments against Hitler. This is serious. The truth of the matter is that the exchange of students between America and Germany is no more of a bipropano instrument than the exchange of students between the German republic. In both cases it is a commendable method of advertising relations between the nations, which requires the use of persuasive, formal demands, apologies and ultimatums. The beam of approval on the face of good old Cecil Rhodes is seen in the flushed appearance of his tombstone at the use of his name on a board that he signed for England "Anti-Fascist", weak case was based on an erroneous definition of the word 'prongamung'. He is laboring under common opinion that there can be no good prongamung. Yours til "Heil" freezes over.

University Daily Kansar Official Studies Portal OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS PUBLISHER Books and Prints From Beardsley Period on Display DAVID E. PARTRIDGE By Frieda Cowles, c. 41 "Critics in the Beardley period judged at as good or bad, not as moraal or immoral," said Mrs. Arthur Mix, speaking at Spooner-Thayer museum Wednesday. The Beardley period, 1890 to 1900, of which Mrs. Mix has made a study both at home and abroad, followed by the exhibition in English literature. In this decade writers revolted against the triteness, the materialistic outlook, and the preoccupation with morals of the Victorian literature.

ELIS HAIDE HAIDEMAN-JULIUS The publishers of this period took great care to suit bindings, decorations, and type to the content of the volume. For example, Henry Harland's "Grey Roes" is bound in soft gray; and a girl's face skinned in gold on the blue cover of Richard Le Galliene's "The Quest of the Golden Girl" harmonizes with the theme of the book. 1937 Member 1938 Associated Collegiate Press Distributor of Collegiate Direct Named After Illustrator The period takes its name from Aubrey Beardsley who was influential as an illustrator. He was young and totally unknown when commissioned to illustrate a stumpwood edition of *Morte D'Arthur*. One illustration on exhibit pictures the hand clothed in white satin that rose from the water to catch King Arthur's word. Excalibur, the sword he wielded more, Beardsley made 500 illustrations for this edition. His improvement as an illustrator can be traced through these drawings. Bearshaw was the art editor of the first four volumes of the "Yellow Book." This was published quarterly and sold for five shillings each. He wrote about which appeared in 1894, created a factor. The critics were outraged, but the vigor of their denunciations helped to launch the new venture, Henry Heard, an expatriated American, was the literary editor. He had one published—perhaps because it was the thirteenth. Drawings Are Grotesque BUSINESS MANAGER P. QUENTIN BROWN REPRESENTED FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISING BY National Advertising Service, Inc.

CITY OF BOSTON BASTIAN STREET LOUISVILLE LAUGHLAND Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan. Bearaday's drawings are rather grateous. Before they were used they were scrutinized under a microseque and updosed to make sure there was put something more shocking concealed than was revealed to the casual eye. It was said of Bearaday that he had a "bitchet After Beardale had been dismissed from the "Yellow Book" because his name had become a symbol of something shocking and stronge, he and Arthur Symons edited the "Savoy," a rival quarrelsome book. The first number contained work by G. Bernard Shaw, M.B. Moorbeen, Havelock Ellis, and W. B. Yeats. It also contained Beardale's mischievous version of John Bull as a beard-landed asthetic wearing wings on his hat and shoes. This caricature shows the printbearing to Mrs Mix. Humor in His Cartoons Max Beerbohm, who also wrote for the "Yellow Book," is as famous for the humor of his cartoons as for the wit of his prose. One caricature shown by Mrs. Mix is of an ice cream maker writing literary criticism for the "Yellow Book." The dwarf was generally believed to be Henry Holland. In a day when the use of face powder by ladies was frowned upon, Beerbohm had the temency to suggest that rouge might enhance the fun of the fancies. It is surprising that the people were horrified. William Butter Yeats, "Wille" to his friends, wrote of Irish lords and folk love during this period. Today Yeats is the acknowledged master among English poets. One of the most discussed novels of the decade was "The Woman Who Did" by Grant Allom. Ms. Grumley was dreadfully shocked. Several years ago Mrs. Mix wrote Max Beerbolm for information concerning the Beardfield period. She is now survived by a carved copy by the author, which is included in the exhibit. After writing a charming letter, he answers her questions in a postscript.

No 'Isms' in Teaching, Says Professor Clark Prof. Carroll D. Clark, head of the department of sociology, described "Contemporary Mass Movements" Wednesday night to members of the Trinity Club at the Episcopal Church in Atchison.

With Dr Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology, Clark is author of a book on "Major Problems of Democracy." He also wrote "People of Kansas," which was issued by the state in 1924 and which studies of population movements in and out of Kansas since the beginning of the state.
