MAKING IT SAFE
Unaffected bystanders are afforded considerable amusement by the efforts of the Oklahoma Baptist University to emulate the University of Missouri in expelling faculty members imbued with the spirit of psychological and sociological research. The original episode at Columbia provided plenty of amusement, but this later instance is little less than ridiculous. It is just like the bick town aping the big burgl. Oklahoma Baptist University must need the publicity. There could be no other reason for stealing Columbia's stuff.
A refreshingly original note is added to the Oklahoma episode, however, in the fact that the discharge faculty members declare they never attended the questionnaires to be circulated among students. Rather, they were to be the basis of study on the morals of inmates of the state penitentiary.
We must keep our penitentiaries fit places for our boys and girls.
But this does not excuse the,distributors of the nefarious literature. The university administration did right in discharging them.
Improvement note for humanity Professor Baker of Yale says modern speech is becoming shorter.
PROGRESS
Tales of the cruelty of the days of the Inquisition, of the unusually brutal and studied methods of dealing out horrible deaths in the dark days of the middle ages, and of the careless abandon with which lives are endured. The book has have horrified and fascinated readers of the modern era for many years.
With a great hymn of thanksgiving the progress of this modern, intellectual world over those doubtful days must be celebrated. A prayer must be intened for the advance of our present civilization over the unenlightened peoples of the Dark Ages. Stepping from those uncertain times to the brilliance of the twentieth century some measure of the work of man in the intervening years may be seen. Front of the meeting of the League of Nations, including most of the nations of the civilized world, comes the news that that enlightened body has outlawed the use of poisonous gases and the spreading of deadly disease germs in modern warfare.
DRUNKEN DRIVERS
A drunken driver in Kansas City, who headed his car into a group of school children, injuring three, has been sentenced to two years in prison. This is the minimum prison sentence and was arrived at after twenty minutes of deliberation by the jury.
Every person who values his own life and that of others, will agree that the sentence was too light. The man should have been given the maximum sentence. Perhaps he would then decide that society values the lives of its membium more than it regards his
numbination with an automobile.
The problem of the drunken driver is a serious one. He is no longer a slime, thinking individual and has at his mercy the lives of everyone about him. He is a ruthless shatterer, nothing less than a brutal murderer. The innocent are victim of his acts. The penalty for the drunken driver is not heavy enough. A minimum sentence of five years would not be unjust for the crime, and would serve as a reminder for those who would mix automobiles with their drinks. Liquor has many evils, and automobiles have come in for their share of condemnation, but the two together make a combination that is both intolerable and barbarous.
We're waiting to pass final judgment on Ben Hibb's love and entire satisfaction with all things Kansan by whether or not he finds the one-and-only girl back in Penn's wood lot.
CHILD CRIME
Results of a study of juvenile delinquency, have been made public recently by the Baines subcommission on causes and effects of crime. The conclusion would seem to be that there is no direct relation between the congestion of population in the crowded districts of a large city and the degree of delinquency, but that housing conditions have a distinct bearing on the crime rate. Misdirected energies and lack of whole play interests occur to underlie a large part of the cases which are not concerned with serious thefts.
Much of the problem is brought about by adults who provide the places where juveniles find recreation. Where laws have been made to regulate such spare-time activities, owners wink at violations. This in itself tends to teach the children to violate inconvenient laws. Perhaps thearest means of reducing juvenile delinquency is to find some means of eliminating vicarious adults who are only too eager to feed upon abnormal conditions.
We're not kicking about how much mucilage there is on stamps. What we kick about is how much of that mucilage iticks to one's taster after the stamp is licked.
DEBENTURE VIEWS OF HOOVER
BEBENTURE VIEWS OF HOOVER
President Hoover's intention to veto the debureau plan is in line with his views announced prior to his election in November. The administration leaders are bending every effort to win support to a practical measure based on orderly marketing.
The reason for President Hoover's rejection of the debenture is that he regards it as dangerous and economically unsuited—stating that the weakness of the proposal lies in that it would not benefit the farmer. The framers of the measure say the debenture would reflect back to the farmer by stimulating exports and creating a domestic scarcity which would raise the American price above the world price by the amount of the debenture. The President believes the bill would make the situation worse. Framers of the provision assume that the debenture benefits would be reflected back to the farmer. Administration economists take the ground that in practice the larger part would be intercepted by speculators, exporters and agents, with the result that the farmer would still be wanting aid. They content that the plan proposes relief rather than cure, their conclusion being that it does not stimulate co-operation, the only thing that will place agriculture on a sound basis.
Missouri was naughty to approach the ultra-sophisticated college student with a sex questionnaire but Oklahoma—for shamel. To perversa a lovely, penitent convict right in the process of revamped morals!
That new 16 cylinder car doesn't appeal to us. It's hard enough to keep a fourth that number knocking.

Conductor of Minneapolis Symphony Possesses International Background
Interest in the forthcoming concert by the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra is to play at the Auditorium on Wednesday, May 1, centers around the orchestra's remarkable conductor, Henri Verbrugghen. Mr Verbrugghen, to borrow the characterization of a noted critic, "is proof of the famous old doftrone attributed to Richard Strauss, that 'there are no good or bad orchestra; there are only good or bad conductors.'"
The present year is Mr. Verlughgen's fifth term as conductor of the quarter century-old Minneapolis Symphony. During this time he has won two Grammy Awards, including Best Ensemble Recording for "Romeo and Juliet."
"Inside Stuff"
Surprising bits of information come to the Kanana copy deck now and then. 'Frinstance, some reporter solenly declared in a recent story that Vergil was born on October 15, 1930. Another located the local armory at 1730 Akarana street.
Both were "psychological" errors, temporary breaks of the old thinking machinery. Vergil: 2,000th anniversary came in 1930, and the reporter had that on his mind. The model house shown in connection with the better homes expedition at the armory is at 1730 Alabama.
Both of these were caught by alert copreferers, but when the copreferer happens to have a brain quirk at the same time a reporter does, . . . Well, Insider hunts a corner in which to hide his bliss of shame.
Today's Best Editorial
FOUNDED BY FRANKLIN
At the dinner of the American Philosophical Society, which closed its three-day meeting in Philadelphia, announcement was made last night of a projected new cultural center for the study and guidance of "mankind-adventure" authors. The endorsement of 450 members in all parts of the world, including the creation of a stately $1,000,000 building on the Philadelphia Parkway and an endowment fund of $250,000 to fill a vacancy in all branches of learning.
The society will be giving up something in this move. Its Philosophical Hall has stood for 140 years in the city and now is hosting a residence Hall—erected the year George Washington is President. But the old building is not fireproof, and the building's interior space, greater safety is desired for the collections, which include 13,800 Franklin manicures; Jefferson's office; his chair and other treasures besides the valuable scientific library; the new Philosophical Hall will, of course, be fireproof. Its site is given to the city for an exchange for the present location.
Reckoning from the "junto" founded by Franklin in 1727, the society is more than 200 years old, which for the first time was an institution. Fifteen of its members were signers of the Declaration. Nine Presidents have been elected from its membership. Jefferson, Madison, Buchanan, Grant, Wilson, and Hoover. The growth and plant of such an institution are of interest not only in the valley of the Deleware.

The philosophy displayed in this side of the argument, it need scarcely be said, has a poke at愈常 encumberment for their schools, but how many of these players offer sports with this idea? Athletes should be rewarded for their schools, but how many of these players adjective pecuniary. Too many athletes already are increasing their bank accounts while so many are not possessing the adjective pecuniary.

So why go to extremes and remove students from there will be one goal big Commerce school where all the professors will wave dollar bills at their students, and will pour heavy silver from one end of the campus to another handrubbing exercises. We will have colossal ex-teamsters tipping, or more appropriately, sleeping next to us in the dorms. There will be no pretext at eligibility or scholarship, and the college will take on the aspect of enormous faculties, and there will be endless lines of men who are waiting to collect their pay cheques. Phi Beta Kappa, with all its faults, is still the most valuable asset on the capups.
The controversy as to whether an N.C. or a Pita Beta Kapan boy is the subject of questioning us. But now the form in which it differs, a few college papers has hinted at the argument as to the probability of successful athletics drawing salaries from colleges that have has in bally-housing the college. Some item the requirement to aid the sport.
PHI BETAS AND ATHLETES
the Verbraghgan musical tradition is one of international background, dating over a two decade period.
The conductor was born in Brussels, Belgium, of an old family of German immigrants. It was intended that the son of his family become a caricoon, but he was early permitted to indulge his interest in music and in his instrument. Interested friends who heard the boy play, the conductor, began to send him genea Yoseye, the noted Belgian virtuoso, who when he heard young Veroën being enrolled in his own artist classes. At the age of fourteen, Yoseye brought young Verbegher to London for his
After a time, Verbruggen took up a very minor position in the Wales Symphony orchestra, but his ability led to a series of concert-master. Subsequently he was made assistant conductor of the Glasgow Symphony. Followed by a tenure as professor of concert-master in Russia France, Belgium and Germany, At London, in 1914, he was invited to direct the famous Beethoven-Brahms-Rach festival. All of which finally established his name as a concert-master and conductor. He accepted the post of conductor of the Symphony orchestra at Sydney, Australia, and after eight years there where he has since remained.
The School of Fine Arts, which is sponsoring the concert by the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, is bringing hundreds of musicians to music lovers. The $2,000,000 figure represents the amount of money that some 500 public spirited citizens of Minnesota have invested in their schools. This is twenty-five years of its existence.
There is not a symphony orchestra in this country that is self sustaining, but it has been deprived of an exception, particularly in view of the fact that Minneapolis maintains what sight. New York critics proclaimed to them that Minneapolis is the most品的 its kind in the entire world.
This huge amount of money represents the difference between the actual cost of a band and the total amount of the orchestra can earn by capacity houses throughout New York. The more experienced men long ago realized that their symphony was one of their most highly prized possessions. Every concert would be accompanied by "dig down," and it is a noteworthy fact that the needed large instruments always were given in a large way.
letes who spend their time and energy in putting the school on the first page, or next the purses of certain students. The teacher gives the tuition and expenses of exceptional scholars who grace the campus with their dazzling erudition. The athletes give all and get nothing; actors give all and get nothing; scholars take all and give nothing.

The collegiate youth, who occupies such an important place in the fiction of today, no longer exists, according to results of a questionnaire sent out by Dean Dovec of George Washington University to 400 colleges in the country.

The concerns of these findings is expressed adequately in a quotation from Dr. Dean Doyle's report, which says: "The college type is diminishing. This sort of action is regarded on our campus and we want to make our students definite and appreciable attitude to disfavor in our student body toward the faculty and manners." In contrast to the former, towards students, Dean Doyle's survey shows that in the opinion of deans
People have the habit of oathing, students upon a道德 and laying an oath from other people. Whenever you make a mistake or reveal any of the common weakness of other people, you are probably going to for it." Consequently if a student does something it is news. If any student makes something it is just an ordinary happening. . .

As Others See It
A LARGE ORDER
A_LARGE_ORDER
The newly instituted Institute of Human Relations at Yale University has appropriately chosen as its first subject for study thien ancient bulwark of the family. President Angel, of Yale, ties this problem;
Here we have one of the oldest human institutions which, under the control of a superior, is being subjected to great strain and from which, when badly concerned, the unhappy consequence affecting the life of the numbers as well as the condition of their bodies may be found.
As a concrete case, Dr. Angell cites the matter of juveniles delinquency, which dislaces, in turn, medical, psychological and psychiatric problems, from the victim's life and the psychologist may aid in their solution, but complete understanding is only available through a study of the victim's family. So with other social agencies, as well as all being "the manner in which the dominant social agencies of our time impeach on the family, influences its operations and are, in turn, influenced by it. This phase alone is sufficient to answer, as Doctor Angell points out:
What, for example, is the consequence for family life of the organization and operation of the families? Factors here which are incompatible with the development of the families include those within the family itself which can be made to meet this situation? How does the educational facilities of the various communities then reorganize themselves? Are its effects all positive and constructive or are there some negative consequences? How do the hospitalization facilities of the various communities, and concordance of the organization and operation of the group? Are they serving their nominal function effectively, and if not, where and how does the organization work?
Many other issues might be raised, but the questions listed are sufficient to show what a large order the institute needs. For example, if a family alone might be extended indefinitely, but even if the institute limits its research to the major aspects of the problem, its work should be carried out by an understanding of changing social conditions.

That's what the magician used to say when he pulled his rabbits out of a silk hat. But don't take it as your slogan when you come to buy a suit of clothes. For the most important part of a suit is the part you can't see unless you do look closely!
The inner construction and tailoring—that's where the mystery lies. Yet it is this which determines whether a suit will keep its style or turn into an unshapely caricature of its former self!
"The closer you look the less you see!"
So we advise: Buy Society Brand. For it is well known that these clothes are made with certain exclusive tailoring processes. Result: your Society Brand suit retains its smart lines as long as you wear it!
