Published in the afternoon, five times a week, and on Sunday morning, by students in the department of Journalism; of the University of Kansas, from the Press of the Department of Journalism.
In every educational institution the instructor is introduced to something of a conflict between his methods of discipline and those followed in the homes of his students.

Last week a director of the Ellingsworth school district in Missouri was shot by an enraged relative of a student, over the punishment of the student. Evidently the punishment was rather severe, but regardless, most instructors are given credit for knowing what they are doing. The student probably deserved the punishment he received.

A DIVIDED LOAD
In the progress of society, the responsibilities shirked by the home are more and more being assumed by the school. In some m eas ure these responsibilities have almost become expectations, and the school is blamed if the child fails to grasp certain aspects of ethical culture which should have been taught at home. Of course, a child may not necessarily learn how to answer the telephone in school, but he may learn attention, respect, and social efficiency.
The school cannot handle the situation alone. Psychology teaches us the influence of environment. We realize that a child spends as much time at school as he does at home, and sometimes more. But the contact in the home is closer and the influence more intense. What right then, when it refuses to share the responsibility, has the home to blame the school?
"Rains Add to Floods"—Head line from Kansas City Times. As usual.
COLLEGE AT ANY COST
A Chicago man, Isadore J. Pollack, has confessed to a judge that in order to keep his son in Harvard he stole 118 bath tubs. That just goes to show what Americans will do for a formal education. "A crime a day keeps ignorance away" is the new adaptation of the old adage.
Americans are big "show-offs." The fad for going to college has become so wide-spread that a man will do anything for the privilege of saying, "My boy is a graduate of such-and-such"—even if he is addressing the statement to his cell-mate.
Something is wrong with a civilization like ours that will allow one member of the family to slave while another plays "big shot." The man who steals bath tubs that his son might have a taxco is not a criminal at heart. He is just one of those big, ambitious American parents who will starve to give his daughter a fur coat like the Jones girl has.
The boy who went to Harvard at the expense of stolen bath tubs should feel like a cad, however, for accepting an "education" on such terms. The real American youth would get out and hustle for himself if his father couldn't steal anything less detestable than the article that almost any household would miss on Saturday night.
ADVICE TO THE FINAL-WORN
Rome wasn't built in a day—nor are final examinations passed in a night. It is indeed a trying time. Attractive girls and just as attractive boys receive only cold stares, as the victim of a tough examination schedule passes wearly on his war to the library.
If only we didn't take it so hard. While it has been shown rather conclusively that studying can be almost equally effective at any time of the day or night, it is best not to upset the daily schedule by cramming far into the wee, small hours.
Continuous study, too, is not advisable, for study will be much more effective if a ten minute rest is taken every hour or two. Rest your eyes and your mind by taking a short walk or playing a hand of bridge.
It is a good idea to glance over the entire semester's notes before beginning intensive study. The general outline of the work can be more clearly brought to mind, and the details may be learned more easily.
Most important of all—keep your good disposition at any cost. Complete control over nerves and tongue is a most effective recipe for a happy final week. If things get too tense, drop it all and go to the movie. Twenty years from now, no one will know the difference!
WHAT PRICE DIVERSION?
Southend, England, a little seaside community, has been having its troubles, but now everything is patched up. Whenever a person falls into the sea there he must pay sixpence to defray the cost of drying his clothing. Such a ruling was made necessary by the complaints of the laundry owners, who were kept so busy drying out the clothes of poor unfortunities that they had little time for their regular business.
Under the new plan for drying clothes, all the responsibility is shifted to the faller. We'll bet that the next time anyone contemplates falling into the air at Southeast they'll think twice. Promiseious fallers, who made a practice of going about leaping into the brine for the sport of it, will be curbed, and consequently there should be a drop in the number of exposure cases.
RAILROADS
The railroads of this country are finding it hard to stay above water; due not only to the depression and the difficulty of selling their bonds, but also because of the increased competition of motor busses and trucks. Railroads no longer have control of a monopoly.
One examiner of the Interstate Commerce Commission said that this body should have full authority over motor buses and trucks operated in interstate commerce; for "the national transportation machine cannot function with progressive efficiency part regulated, part unregulated." It was also advocated that the railways be permitted to acquire motor vehicle lines already in operation if such action would result in economy and better, more efficient service and was not adverse to the public's interests.
We still need railways, and if they in order to give satisfactory, public-spirited service need to combine with each other and with truck companies, the Clayton antitrust law should be amended to meet the changed conditions. Furthermore, "what is sauce for the gander is sugar for the goose"; therefore if one part of our system of transportation needs regulation and public watching, the other part also requires it.
DEPRESSION VS. EDUCATION
It is extremely probable and not at all illogical that quite some few of the present University students will not return to school at the start of the second semester. Conditions over which they have no control — low prices, hard
YEARLY EXPANSION PROGRAM OF K. U. LIBRARY REMARKABLE
New Books Selected by Hill Committee Being Purchased at Rare of 10.000 per Year
New books are being purchased at the rate of 10,000 a year at Watson lecture and professors, according to the figure of C. M. Baker, director of libraries at the University. Add to this 1,600 sequel, that come in another otherwise, that come in at the rate of 40 a day, and you have, in simple terms, a program of the University library.
To take care of this program an average yearly appropriation is made, if you are interested in figures, of $25,000. You can save money by keeping in with the tendency of reduction of expenditures. Most of these books are non-fiction, the policy of the publisher to keep it simple and the purpose of keeping up with modern fiction. Such popular fiction that is purchased is done so on n very small scales. The most common thing being placed on the shelves.
Selection of books is made by a library committee, compounded of a member from each of the 42 departments on the Hill, under the supervision of Mr. Bicker. Allotments are made to each of the departmental libraries in pration varying with the needs of the departments concerned. Thus it is, for example, that the department of political science has much more to spend for books than does the department of medical and manual training in the latter department being comparatively small.
Twenty-one persons on full time, and 32 students on part time, are required to take care of the work that goes on in the library. However, the student who uses the library for his studying does not come in contact with this many
times, lack of money—will prevent them from continuing their college education.
It is not a question of education vs. idleness, but of education vs. depression. It costs money to go to school, and young people can live at home much more cheaply than while going to some institution of higher learning.
THE STUDENT MIND
It is indirectly a challenge to the University. The student loan fund has completely failed to meet the existing emergency, regardless of the drastic measures which were instigated to secure funds. The University must be directly concerned; these students who are quitting represent the life blood of the school, life blood which is essential to the existence of any educational institution. Is there something we can do?
The average number of questions answered correctly was 46.5 percent.
The American college student is a lethargic soul. He knows little or nothing about his surroundings and has a misguided knowledge of current events. These conclusions might be drawn from a recent survey made by a professor in an eastern university.
Some rather amazing information was revealed as a result of the professor's examination. One student said that True Story was a sickencling magazine, while another defined it as "the co-ed's bible". Big Bill Thompson was classified by one student as a Chicago racketeer, while Joseph Stalin was identified as President Hoover's secretary. And on top of all this it was found that The Saturday Evening Post was the favorite magazine of the majority.
If such a test were a fair means
persons, for all of the full time employees, only eight ever meet the public, and of the student employees but six ever have any business with the student book-borrower. The duties of the rest are confluent to ordering, cataloging, and managing books, and their business keeps them behind proverbially closed doors. Training in library work is no prerequisite for the student seeking a job at the library, for the amount of training required, or for the small Direct access to the shelves is granted to all professors and instructors, and to graduate students, for whom are
Direct access to the shelves is granted to all professors and instructors, and to graduate students, for whom are required to use the books where bwell will not be disturbed.
Books purchased are handled mostly through the departments, who, of course, receive considerable discount from the publisher. Books are handed through agencies almost entirely, foreign magazines being purchased from a foreign magazine agency, or from a local news office or one company in the United States. This method has been found to be more economic, than attempting to supply individually, and it saves much time and effort.
Most of the newspapers that the Library gets are supplied gratis by the papers themselves, while private subscriptions are maintained for several of them.
Bookbinding plays quite an important role in the upkeep of the library, and a branch of the state bindery is maintained at Watson Library, where one full-time man, and two student are sitting behind the desk. The maximum quota of 1,500 books a year is sent to Topka to the state bindery for reconditioning.
of estimating the American student's mind, it would be a dark literary world ahead and a huge measure of self-satisfaction for Arthur Brishane. But we're just sap enough to believe that college students can well hold their own with what is called the average man, when it comes to knowledge of current events. Plenty of smart men have thought Einstein was a pawnbroker and Mussolini was a new kind of a clam. So the more we think about it, that mark of 46.5 percent looks pretty good after all.

--automobile mechanic, drives motor trucks, sews and does housework. Too, she has made quite a name for herself in these parts as a solist.
The alumni have received work from Dr. R. K. Smith, "11," and Mrs. Smith, who was formerly Luce McLane, "11," regarding a new hospital which has been built through their efforts. Dr. Smith, the founder of Chiaoyun Chosen, Japane, where the hospital was built. Instead of waiting for money from America to help them, they went ahead and build a $7,300 building, which allowed them to accommodate 40 patients. The hospital will easily accommodate 40 patients. Dr. Smith says that the amount of charity work to be done is increasing. They are attempting to raise $5,000 more to compensate for the costs. Smith expect to visit in the United States this year or next.
The first person to announce that she will be back for spring homecoming, April 23, is Miss Margaret Brett. "23 Spring homecoming is at the time when we are finally specially this year to try out and practice for entry in the Olympic games. Miss Brrett plans to visit several of her professors as well as to attend the funeral of her security Aliva Xi Delta.
