A TIMELY WARNING
The warning given yesterday by President Hoover that economy in education must not be carried too far is right in line with the plea made by the board of visitors concerning the University of Missouri. The board, which has no direct connection with the University other than the making of a biennial report, urged that there be a maintenance of salaries of the teaching staff and allowance made for the needed upkeep of buildings and grounds.
"There is no safety for our republic without the education of our youth. That is the first charge upon all citizens and local governments," said the President in his talk at the opening session of the citizens' conference on the crisis of education.
"Those in charge of the schools," he added, "must be willing to face conditions as they are to co-operate in discarding all unnecessary expenditure, to analyze all procedures, and to carry forward on a solid basis of economy. But the schools must be carried on."
When the Missouri general assembly makes a decision on the report submitted, these ideas presented by President Hoover may well be considered. A slight reduction of salaries might be timely, but the economy must not be carried so far as to encroach upon the school.
FATHERS IN A NEW ROLE
A group of fathers in Chicago have petitioned the Board of Health for instructions in the care of children. Their request has been granted and soon they will be able to bathe and care for their children while the mothers attend their bridge parties.
It is just another step toward the single standard and the day that so often has been predictor when the father's place will be in the home and the mother will be converted into the family bread-winner.
CONQUEST OR DOWNFALL
Japan is faced with a grave problem; it must either find territory from which it can draw raw products, or be doomed to economic oblivion. When Japan first took steps toward modernization in the nineteenth century, it decided to become a manufacturing country in order to care for the employment of its large population. The Empire of Japan alone cannot produce enough food and manufacturing material to support its population; the islands of Japan, excluding Korea, are mountainous and unfitted for agriculture. The rivers do, however, furnish electrical energy for manufacturing.
After the successful culmination of the Russo-日本ese war, Japan took over the leases that Russia had held in Manchuria. It was entirely through the efforts of Japan that Manchuria's resources were developed to their present day value. The railroads, which had formerly been owned by Russia and were little more than rusty streaks of iron, were

MATHEMATICS CLUB:
There will be $u$ meetings of the Mathematics club on Monday, Jan. 9, 9 at 4:30 in room 211 East Administration building Daniel Johnson will speak on the subject "Dimensional Analysis." OTIS BRUAKER, Vice President.
You amaze us, M.J.N., you really do. We thought every colleague known what a "hey nony nanny and a hot chacha" was. We thought there would be not one more than three students anywhere on the campus when the reader came across that expression. We thought—but perhaps we were wrong. Anyway, M.J.N., it's like this. The student who gets the call is a direct descent of a term used by one "Sugar" Kane that in-
improved and made into the great systems of today.
During the war Japan forced China to renew the leases in Manchuria that had been taken over from the Russians. China threatened to cancel the leases; it was for this reason that Japan stepped into the territory with her military forces. Cancellation of the leases would cost Japan millions of dollars and might also cause the cancellation of bonds that have been sold in Europe and America.
Technocryon just now is toware the top of the list of remedies for the depression. From hobo jungle to millionaire mansion this term, and the system of economic reform that it stands for have beer looked to as perhaps the way out of the present vale of tears.
ERGS OR DOLLARS
The use of force by the Japanese in China is nothing new. All of the European countries used force in wrestling their privileges from China in the later part of the last century. This is probably one reason why they do not step in and protect China. England took Hong Kong from China and, with France, conquered parts of southern China.
The attack upon Jehol by the Japanese was a step to keep China from entering the new country Manchoukuo. Shanhaikwan is an important rail head and port. Transportation of troops and supplies is impossible without the control of the rail-roads. By taking Jehol the Japanese can keep out the Chinese and insure their industrial system.
Ostensibly it would be a better plan to pay for labor on the basis of actual work accomplished, and the findings of the technocrats would undoubtedly be valuable in determining the actual worth of each form of labor.
The big point of all economic systems, however, has been neglected. The law of supply and demand will always determine the price to be paid for an article. Technocracy would perhaps adjust the wage scale. But a bumper wheat crop will always bring less return per bushel than a short wheat crop.
While reading your article "An Eight Cent Meal!" I came across the expression: "Hey nony nony and a hit chita." After a fruitless search in the dictionary, I confess my ignorance as to the exact meaning of those words. To you please, Mr. Murray, us the meaning of a "many" and a "cha." — M.J.N
--formed the palpitant world that the singer felt the futility of life and could only say, "boop hoop da poo" and "vo do de o do." Then came the phrase "come do de ko," which turned to the mournful plaint. "hi de hi, hi de ha," which was quickly followed by "tweet tweet tweet twa two." Then Bing Crows thought of "bu bu bu bu bu" which he meant meaningless diction, Cab Calloway, king of "hot" music, finally evolved "skee de skee de skew," which most authorities on the subject think was the immediate forerunner of the popular song "puzzled you, M. J. N. You, puzzled you, M. J. N. You, is every 'higher perfectly clear to you? Good!"
Editor Daily Kansan;
Campus Opinion
And under technocracy, with a short wheat crop the miller would say "I'll have to have more ergs a barrel for my flour," just as under the present system he says, "I'll have to have more dollars a barrel."
After all, ergs and dollars are only names for units of measurement. The law of supply and demand will continue to set the value of products unless a strict government supervision is provided for each industry to prevent that industry from taking advantage of shortages. And, of course, that would be socialism.

The Campus Pest
"No, I don't know the name of the book or the guy that wrote it, but it's a little red book with black trimmings, and it's a nice notebook and smiles. She's a common type of campus pests, the inaccurate student, who haunts the library at midmiseret and final examination time for books she knows nothing about.
The library attendant is courteous and listens to her descriptions of the book. He does his best to get more information about it, but he can't spend all his time with one student, and as the number of students waiting for service increases, he must excuse himself to wait on them. All of this time he skims through the books, finding the notebook, a mess of loose sheets scrwebbed with meager classmates, Greek letters, initials of boy friends, names and sketches.
"Don't you remember the book?" she turns to her companion. There is always one of the boy friends with her, a hot shot Joe College who comes to the library only when he escorts the student begins looking through his notebook.
"Ask the librarian for it again. There's no excuse for such rotten service," he says.
When the attendant has given books to the students who know what they want, he returns to the student who has a silly notion of what she wishes. She insists, "I'm sure the book is here. It's a little red book, and my roommate said it was here on reserve. It may be black. I mean it may be a black book with red trimming, and economics. I think it's about this size."
Some times the attendant brings out the red and black books on economics. Usually, however, the pest decides to give up the search, and taking the boy into the room. So she enters of the room. She believes she could enjoy herself more at the picture show.
This type of campus pest is not a rarity, but is most noticeable when the library is crowded and service is rushed. After a few sessions with such persons, the librarian can be seen going to the window to open it. Plenty of cold air helps the attendants to keep cool under the collar.

Flooded in star light at my feet.

Turned the commonplace things below
The stars in the heavens
And the stars in the harbor
Meet in an insoluble line-
Making for me a Paradise—
Even without the jug of wine,

Into a stream of silver.
