TENDER TOES
One of the most difficult things in the world is to say or do anything with force and vigor and not tread on some one's toes. Indeed, it often seems that even when one is dancing lightly with skill and grace, a hidden foot darts out to be stepped on.
Honest criticism offered in a helpful spirit should be taken in the manner in which it is offered. If it is sound advice, accept it; if it is illogical or unreasonable, it can be ignored. No one should resent criticism couched in courteous language and tendered in a friendly spirit.
However, the critic has his responsibility, too. He must remember that if it is true a spoken word can never be recalled, it is doubly true with one published. Also, he is a poor sport who strikes unjustly at one who cannot reply.
But editorials which do not step out briskly in some definite direction might just as well remain unwritten. And toes which can not stand an admonishing tap should not be entered in the race.
One of the week-end visitor is wondering if Hitler has put a ban on ice cream Cohens.
MUST WE GET IN ON TIME?
Just suppose the students who wish there were no closing hours had rubbed Aladdin's magic lamp and we could behold the resulting campus scene. Mary and John at the Eta Beta Pi house rejoice that is past closing hours and no lights have been flicked as a warning, and the housemother in her rooms sighs as she glances at her watch. But see what a few hours bring. Mary and John have danced, played bridge, and talked until they are convinced that there are other days in the week too. The housemother in her rooms nods and wishes she had more of youth's energy.
In other houses, the members feel much the same. Perhaps Jeans has a date who can't take hints and just won't realize he is a bore. Or Jack wants to hurry home but as he is used to being informed of closing time, just does not know how to leave.
A week of this would probably send the young people scurrying around to find the lamp again. Human nature has always wanted the inaccessible and years for something just beyond. Little do students realize that closing hours serve as a good excuse to leave bores, preserve health, and gain hours of needed sleep, thus keeping the mind clear for studies.
MEN OF TOMORROW
Four years ago the Soviet government of Russia deemed it best to deprive the children of one of their favorite plays at the Moscow Art Theater, Maeterlinck's "The Blue Bird." Their reason given was that the play was "too bourgeois," too insistent upon happiness.
In other words, it did not fit into the spirit of the Soviet program that is being instilled in the Russians—from babyhood to old age. The cheap slapstick type of Soviet
farce "Three Fat Men," replaced "The Blue Bird" on the reportoir
Why should it be otherwise? Why deny childhood (the only age in which man ever has free and pure happiness) the right of feeding its soul and imagination with a little idealism, a little laughter? Life is transitory for the greatest of men, even such as Stalin and Lenin. Happiness has never grown in abundance on this planet, and the world hurrying by today laughs after the man who goes aside to dream dreams, and calls him lazy. But there has to be some of both happiness and vision if there is to be progress.
Today's children are tomorrow's nation, but there will not be a nation worth calling the name if there are not men of vision and idealism; and nations will not get such men from children who have been denied the opportunities of imaginative and mental expansion
Is it this that Stalin realizes, and was it this that made Lenin, atheist Bolshevik though he was, permit the custom of Christmas trees again before he died?
A BETTER DATE
One of the oldest traditions of the University, that of the annual Night Shirt parade, has been changed from the Saturday after the first football game to the Friday before the second game this year, and it appears to be a wise move.
The fact that school opened just two days before the first football game made it practically impossible to hold the parade at that time; consequently, the traditions committee felt it best to postpone the event.
The parade on Friday night this year will be of double interest. With the celebration of Dad's day on Saturday, many fathers will be here on Friday night; and the majority of them, to say the least, will get as much fun from watching a bunch of "wild students" running down the street in their pajamas as from the football game, if not more. The enthusiasm generated by the event at that time will go a long way in determining the outcome of the game the following day.
Every year there are at least two big games scheduled, those of Dad's Day and Homecoming. Hobo day precedes the Homecoming game and is always instrumental in stirring up a lot of spirit. Why can't the night shirt parade do the same thing for the Dad's day game?
IT CAN'T BE WORSE
The Republicans said that, too, a couple years ago, with regard to prosperity—or the lack of it. Their prediction has, in a measure come true. The permanency of the present optimistic state of affairs is another question.
"Hitterism," said Professor John Ise in one of his classes recently, "is so bad that whatever comes out of it will have to be better. It couldn't be worse."
Germany may find a new leader in a few years. Conditions will seem greatly improved for a while, and then the capitalists will discover that they are not profiting as much as they would like. Through propaganda they will stir up unrest, and again the people will become dissatisfied.
Periods of dissatisfaction go in cycles. People do not like to be comfortable and satisfied for too long a time. A change always seems to be for the better.

RUTH PYLE
the nail right on the head. Here the torse remark of the Republican;
"A member of the state legislature wants to consolidate all the state schools. If he wants to move K. U. away from here we are in a good position. If he wants to bring it to the schools to Lawrence we are for it!"
PATSY ARNOLD, Manager.
So regardless of the estimated saving which might be effected from the grouping and combining of state schools, homes for the blind, deaf mutes, etc. the idea will probably never "take" well in a large number of cities.
Whether the Lawrence writer realized it or not, he voiced the exact sentiment of every city or town in Kansas which barbors a state institution that might be affected by the proposed consolidation. No town wants to lose a state institution which brings outside money in and helps toward civic progress and stability. That is only natural.
There are doubtless many sound arguments to the backlash the proposal in addition to the economy factor. But none of these alter the fact that taking state institutions from where they are now located would still be pulling眼-teeth and these towns are justified in feeling as they do.
With all the effort that has been expended in the last dozen years on the development of new appliances and instruments of industry, it is time we began to settle down and study the problem of living with more care. In
No single city, not any two or three cities, are entitled to a monopoly on state institutions. Tax money from over the whole state supports them and the benefits should be distributed over the entire state insofar as possible.
The displays of model homes at the World's fair in Chicago featuring houses of glass, of steel and concrete, with their temperature regulators, oil burners, and hundreds of other conveniences and comforts, are well known.

DREAMY for the home
A new day comes to be dawning for
the American home.
A New Day for the Home
The development of the "average" home in America has been sadly like the growth of Topsy. Except for a scattered few homes built during the last few years, most houses in America are frightfully lacking in either convenience or artistry. Old homes usually are great, awkward, draft affairs with a mass of corners and cupolas that are both ugly and useless. The newer homes, though more efficient and often rather attractive, are at that more or less hit-or-miss miles of building materials.
Details of these appliances are being kept secret until the home is completed, but officials of the company have given assurances that they will be revolutionary.
this field there is nothing of more importance than the development of the home itself.
It is true that "It takes a heap of lwin" in a house to make it home," but it is also true that it takes a heap of planning for a home to make a decent house.-Daily Iowan.
