Lesson in Best Seller
No country is stronger than it's own natural resources. Whoever controls those resources can be dictator, president, or the power behind the throne. That was shown in the latest best seller, Gone With the Wind. The South was adequately bottled up because she had no numties factories and because her supply of foodstuffs was inadequate for her needs.
Taking past wars into consideration, the winner of any future war could be decided by lining up the forces against each other, deciding what their reserves are and just about how long they could fight. In that way, loss of life would be eliminated. Any crisis could be solved by deciding who would fight for what and the group with the majority would win.
Another point that was made in the book, is that all wars are fought for money. How much we like to believe this is up to us. A little research would prove the point without a doubt.
The United States does not hold a monopoly on the sit down strike.
But, there are always those people who will fight for a Cause and for catch phrases and for what they believe to be their rightful heritage. Just so long as the propagandists make loud enough and fine enough noises to make it seem worth the effort to die.
It's so easy to see on which side lies the strength in war, so why fight it. That's what we'll be asking ourselves after the next one is fought.
History in the Making
The walkout was staged because the managers refused to allow the girls to join the geisha guild; but after much contention the police finally managed to effect a compromise and the girls were permitted to join the organization. They then immediately returned to the job of entertaining the tired business men of Osaka.
In England 300 laundry girls went on a strike a short time ago because their handsome foreman, whom they called "Clark Gable," was to be transferred to another plant. After an agreement was reached with the officials the girls returned to their jobs.
From Bordeaux, France comes the information that 2000 maritime workers are striking for higher wages. Negotiations are reported to be progressing favorably, although the government has threatened to send warships to the strike scene if necessary.
Cairo, Egypt added its news bit when it was announced that more than 100 Copie monks had gone on a stay-in-strike in their ancient and rich monastery of Deir El Muharrage, on the edge of the desert, because they wanted to "go modern."
Egyptian authorities have been asked by Patriarch Yoannes XIX to dislodge the monks, but the government officials hesitate to introduce force into what they consider a religious dispute.
From Toronto comes the statement that Premier Mitchell F. Heph寓 will refuse to tolerate any sit down strikes in Canada. He is reported to have favored the non-strikers in a recent dispute between the two factions from the Holmes Foundry Company at Sarina, Ontario.
"Ob Waud Some Power The giftie gie us---"
Of course the United States is far in the lead in the actual number of sit down strikes now in progress. History is in the making, and the United States may be the pioneer in bringing about a revolutionized relationship between capital and labor. No doubt this sit-down movement will spread rapidly to many parts of the world where dictators do not yet hold absolute sway.
I have been wondering lately why the teachers in the journalistic department permit the students who write copy for the Kansan to use the radical stuff which is so often found on the editorial page. If the journalistic department is running the Kansan largely to give free, untrained expression to the sentiments of a lot of "half baked reds" it is about time to stop it. If the teachers are in earnest in trying to encourage the students to get practice in writing they are taking the wrong slant.
The Kansan Platform
1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program.
2. Betterment of student working conditions.
4. An adequate building program, including:
a. Construction of a medical science building.
b. Addition to the stacks of the library.
5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries.
I doubt whether there is a newspaper in the state of Kansas, daily or weekly, that would hire any of these half baked reds and give them free run in the editorial columns. In other words, it looks as though there should be a change in the system of running the editorial department of the Daily Kansan. We were a callow youth once ourselves and we had some ideas about upsetting the world but after we had been out a few years, we calmed down greatly and have been rather same and sensible for the last 30 years. These men who are writing for the Kansan might just as well be taught in the beginning that the market is very limited for such matter as they are writing. Heost might use some of it and there are a few other papers that might use some of it, but nobody in Kansas fills his columns with such material<sup>1</sup>.

Campus Opinion
A Challenge to Y.W.C.A.
Editor Daily Kansan:
I was very much confused by the attitude of the Y.W.C. A. toward the proposed United Front constitution. Assuming that the report in the Kansas is correct, I am inclined to believe that it radical. It is interesting to speculate on the reason for this stand—especially as to which phase or phases of the constitution are so at variance with the creed of a national party.
Of course, I do not claim to be as familiar with the teachings of Christ as are the ladies of the "Y" for whom, by the very nature of things, the Bible undoubtedly is an authoritative source. However, I am certain that there is nothing He ever said that would put Him on the side of those who want to murder fellow Christians across the seas, lynch colored slaves, kill and torture their own brethren of us of our constitutional rights. Certainly the W.Y.C.A. will admit that Christ was not a Fascist. Nor with the wildest stretch of imagination can I see why an evil psychiatrist on the campus would be antiChristian.
What is it then that makes this proposed constitution so unacceptable to the Christian young ladies? Could it be that they really do not agree with Christ's teachings and want him to change their Christian accord according to the W.Y.C.A. definition of Saint.

Dear me! It's all so confusing.

excelled all the finest scientific methods in nursery school management. Executive nursery schools in large cities, patronized solely by the family parents, use the same principles of teaching and caring for children as are used by the Lawrence WPA school, to which are admitted only those children whose families are on a low wage scale of relief.

Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan.
The nursery school, which was founded February 17, 1938, occupies only four rooms of the building, the rest being devoted to other WPA activities. The main room is a dressing room, covered as a dining room. Hooks, covered with wraps and pulled pajamas (made in the WPA sewing room upstairs) surround the walls, low enough so that each cat can reach each Each book is marked with a picture of the cat, which he his own special label. A worm, upright piano, which is used as an accompaniment for games, singing, and rhythm practice stands in one corner. Over the piano, in a comfy chair, children are not invited, especially to tell time, but early learn that
activities take place at scheduled periods.
A second room is used for eating and story telling. Here another row of books holds each child's towel, cup and combo. Along one wall are hashes and a mirror, before which child tries to arrange his own hair.
On the north side of the house is a large room used for play and the afternoon nap. The fourth room is the kitchen.
Mrs. Blanche Yeaton, who has charge of the school, has made a schedule for the children to follow each day. This plan is similar to those used by leading nursery schools.
8:45-9—Children arrive. Health inspection by nurse.
The program is:
9-19 Free play period, out of doors or inside, depending on the weather.
10-10:30—Tomato juice with cod
10:30-11:15—Music and stories.
11:15-11:30—Rest.
12:30-2:30 -Rest and personal care.
2:30-3 -Play period, outside or indoors.
Constant Medical Care
3—Children taken home.
when it is needed. Every morning each one is inspected by the school nurse, Mrs. Lela Walter.
Twenty-five children are enrolled at the nursery school, and during the month of January the average attendance was 20. Children between the ages of two and five are admitted. When a child first attends the nursery school, he is examined by the city physician, Dr. J. M. Mott. Each child is inoculated for diphtheria and vaccinated for smallpox. This for no contagious diseases. The children who attend have been comparatively free from colds. Each child is weighed and his height is measured every month, and medical attention is secured for him
course, Mrs. Lela Walter.
During the day the children go from 1½ to 2 hours of sleep at night. The meals at the school are balanced and are made up of food which is reasonably easy for an adult children to manage without the need of food given as much food as they will eat. The children are encouraged to eat whatever is served them, but they are not marked nor forced to do so. Because there are definite differences in development and in the tastes of the different age groups the children are divided into two divisions: games and games. The stories are all very simple, but each one tries to teach the child some new feature or lead him to discover a new field.
Although the equipment in the nursery school is still limited, material is constantly being added. At the present time the children have tools, dolls and their accessories, dull scissors, finger painting materials, jungle gym, tricycles, wheel browr, platform and steps, large sand pile, series of sacks with boards, and a slide. Many of the play things and all of the furniture
Free Play Encouraged

The children have picture books which aim to enlarge each child's amount of experience, music books with songs and singing games, and victoria records to aid them appreciate their music. A rhythm band, which is made up of a drum, sleek beats, rhythm sticks, and a wooden cymbal. The would-be rhythms take turn in playing the instruments and clapping or marching in time to the music.
Mrs. Yeaton and his assistant -ha Mrs. Yeaton and her assistant, Mrs. Weingartner, encourage free play. Whatever form of play the youngsters elect, they are allowed to be as free from interference as possible. Unselfishness and good sportsmanship are instilled into
them early. Each child is allowed to do everything possible for himself.
Music Invitations Mailed
The nursery school is not only benefiting these children and families in Lawrence, but it is also adding University students interested in child care, child psychology, and special problems. These students assist the attendants in making sure the children have appropriate backgrounds of the children, as well as attempting to iron out certain psychological problems.
Invitations to the National Aeron-
tic Competition Festival in Lawrence
