WHAT PRICE PRESIDENCY?
WHAT TRIED PRESIDENCE?
Coolidge, bearing the White House for private life after six years, has said that the price of the presidency lay in the death of his son, Calvin Jr., and that with his death pride and glory passed him from the administration.
At the time of Calvin's death there was no manor demonstration, no break in the administration of public business for private grief. There was only the simple ceremony at the Vermont home, and now, when there is no longer need to suppress personal feeling for the public, these few words—words that show the public for the first time, what his administration has meant to the ex-president.
It is a privilege that there is no greatness or distinction without compressing loss. Readers accept the saying as such, but only on few outstanding occasions, as in Coolidge's retirement, do they recognize the depth of its meaning.
DANGEROUS THINKERS
Japan is attempting to "purify" student thought and has determined to stamp out all "radical and dangerous thinking." Three million yen ($1,500,000) have been appropriated for this purpose. The Minister of Education believes that radicalism in all forms should be ruthlessly suppressed by a national police and espionage system. Pailter Porter, field secretary for the League of Industrial Democracy, a Kansai graduate who last summer visited China and Japan, states in the March issue of the New Student that "The government makes no distinction between moderate and extreme social theory," it proscribes them all. The study of social sciences is forbidden in the middle and higher schools. Sociology books are banned from many libraries. When it was learned that a few students were actively interested in communism, they were arrested, further restrictions were placed on classroom freedom, and seven professors were forced to resign. All the schools are honeycombed with spies. "All this agitation has suffused to cause Japan to appropriate money "to improve the national thought."
Contract this picture with the passive conservation on the Hill. No regulations need be passed here, because the intellectual interest is too low to break forth in rebellion against social problems. The allowed liberties are little appreciated, since they are little practiced. Perhaps suppression is needed to awaken a critical attitude and alertness concerning contemporary civilization. Japanese students are crying out for freedom of learning, while American students as a whole are rather inclined to look with disfavor on any radical outcursal. Certainly Kansas undergraduates are more interested in athletic and social functions than they are in the problems of state. Too much time is spent with trivial things to follow any dangerous lines of thought.
Want a paradox—a restrictive government striving to quiet radical student revolts and a free republic with a passive undergraduate group.
UNIVERSITY VOTES
A person who has a complaint to make, yet who fails to make that complaint effective by backing it up with action, is no better than a chronic grunch, whose sole joy in life is to talk about the things that he wrong with the world.
Some University women seem to be in danger of following in the gruel's footsteps. They complain of the present elective system in regard to class officers, they protest because women are only permitted to vote for vice president and secretary, and they believe because of certain W.S.GA rules.
What these women should realize is that the fault for these unpleasant regulations is directly traceable to themselves. If they actually wish to do something to change the situation, they should bring about a reform. Women who believe the present system is unjust should find out from the present candidates which ones support their theories, and support these candidates wholeheartedly, both by voting and by encouraging others to vote. After the election is over, the members of W.S.G.A. could be urged to initiate plans for a new electoral system. It would take time for such a plan to be put into action, but it would not take as long as it would take the hot air system to function.
The crux of the situation lies in the fact that the University women do not vote. Why should they be permitted to vote for four officers when they do not at present vote for toto? If the women of K.U. are sohere, they will vote at the present election. Then they can with justice demand the privilege of voting for all the class officers.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
John Student enrolled in two courses which may be designated as Course one and two. The subject matter of Course one interested him but he took the other course because it was required. Both classes were large, which precluded the idea of individual attention or personal contact between the professor and student.
"Shot gun quizzes" were given in both courses. Although John was not well prepared for the first "shot gun" in *Counsel* one, he received a grade of "C." In *Counsel* two he was more fortunate on the first "shot gun" and received an "A—".
Accordingly he applied himself diligently to Course one. He really enjoyed this course and wanted to learn something about the subject. But in spite of his best efforts he was never able to get more than a grade of "C." In course two John fared better. He was not especially interested in the subject but he always managed to get an "A" or "B" on the quizzes.
When the final grades were given out John found he had received a "C" in Course one and an "A" in Course two. He felt that he had really learned something from Course one and not very much in Course two. It was simply a case where the professor had judged the ability of the student and the quality of his word by the impression which he receive from the first "shot gun."
Now that the American Herbatic Society has traced President Hoover's ancestry back to Andreas Huber, an emigrant from Baden-Baden in 1780, evolution is proved—at least in poplation.

Best Cure for Infantile Paralysis Is Precaution at an Early Stage
Boston. - The best hope of curing the paralysis and serious crippling which Gallow an attack of poliomyelitis, or infantile paralysis, lies in early preventive measures, Dr. Lloyd W. Ayeck of the Harvard Medical School detained here in an analysis of the disease. This means that treatment must be begun before the nerve cells have been destroyed. Hence the plea physicians are making for early diagnosis of the disease.
Today's Best Editorial
(Column Sequences)
"The paralysis itself is due to the destruction of the nerve cells in the spinal cord which govern the movement of muscles," said Doctor Ayevk. "When these nerve cells are destroyed, the muscle with which they are connected may be paralyzed." The nerve that is be perfect order itself but which cannot function without a wired leaching
PURPOSE OF THE JONES LAW
Protest against the severity of penalties permitted by the Jones law, passed in the closing days of the trial, was that "offenders' quarters normally favorable to probation enforcement are likely to be more lenient than the price of the measure. An example is the statement that "it is going to be easier for offenders to receive offenders' of offences that but recently were misedemenors; when the penalty is five years' imprisonment in a prison."
It was fully explained when the Jones bill was under debate, and an administrative planetary clause inserted in the bill the follow it is aimed at is not the first step. It is tenth chronic and large-scale offender. The five-year penalty is a maximum. It is designed to reach those whom the government wants to punish but to license them to continue their business. It negatives the theory that the government can be discharged from further obligation by exacting from them what amounts to but a share of the profits.
in the discretion of judges, whol-
aged and receivists can be discouraged in a manner not possible under any statute. The fact is shown all too clearly the futility of relying on moral sanction. The stuff penalty, which is not excessive for the type of crime under review, should be used to punish a defendant who will be no regret if because of its very existence there shall be infrequent occasion to put it into effect.

WHY GO TO COLLEGE
In the minds of the more thoughtful there is gradually arising a question as to whether constitutes the drawing of the knee. Does the college syllabus still have the importance that it formerly had, or is it being replaced by the eol?
Years ago there was no question as to the motives which inspired those who taught at institutions of higher learning. Each was there for one purpose, and that one purpose to the exclusion of all they hoped for other advantages; to have their characters moulded, and that they be taught evolution of ideas. The faculty expected that they would develop the capacity for getting from books not only facts, but conceptions points of view, attitudes and eye
According to Charloe Evans Hughes, former Secretary of State, college students need more time for reflection. The veteran stateman believes that the average student doesn't much actual thinking as he should.
But more and more stuents are coming to college to become leaders in activity; to sit on boards and comment on papers, to act in plays, to attend dances, and to manage student functions. And even as the applicants are getting better at their back home who are sending them to college. Today the father is more interested to see if "Fill" makes sense. You might be surprised that any of "F" on his son's card.
Mr. Hughes seems to think that colleges are crowded with events and experiences which have hardened the "cultural processes of quiet and reflection." Large numbers of students feel that the college has true advantages of the college tend to conventionally habitus and to parry off or ignore these advantages, the curve of eccentricity" New York's former governor declared reelection.
This change is not of serious importance, however, for the students are adjusting themselves to the newer situations with ease. Each student is encouraged to engage in activities, and the jadicious student will determine his own mixture of the two. If positions and leadership attract students, so does book learning, and it is coming to the point where both fields in his accommodations.

MR. HUGHES ON COLLEGE
It cannot truthfully be said that either the syllabus or the annual lecture each has its part, and it is by this means that we are making a collection of today are drawing students.
Students do need more time for thought. In this contention, Mr. Hughes is absolutely correct. Colleges are expected to teach the stu-
Once the paralysis has occurred, it is too late to cure it, although patient treatment and care and exercise can do much for the affected limb. The wound should always preceded by certain definite symptoms. It is during this preparatory stage, before the nerves have been destroyed, that there is a chance to recover.
Mothers are always pretty good doctors to their children, Doctor Ayeck said, and while they cannot hope to make a diagnosis of this disease mailed, they can learn in suspect its resource and call for medical aid in need.
Serum from the blood of persons who have passed through an attack of the disease is the one remedy at hand. Serum is also used in the non-operative stage.
The onset of the disease is usually brust, with fever, headache and pain. The child is drowsy and wants to be let alone. The child is usually more restructured than usual with the development of 102 degrees Fahrenheit. An anxious expression on the face shows an increased range of movements of the muscles and a sort of uncertainty in movement of the arms and legs are characteristic of this disease in the early years.
The most suggestive sign is stiffness of the spinal column and neck. It is often seen when the child cannot sit up carefully without propping himself up.
Every stiff neck is by no means an indication of infantile paralysis. Descend upon this case of this disease is in a rather special one. But if the mother finds such symptoms, she should at least be sure that she have the matter further investigated.
deregisters to think and too often the undergraduates are not given enough time to carry out this teaching. On the other hand, if students are given more time to think, will they utilize time for the purpose of thinking?
POOR MEN'S SONS
Syracuse Daily Orange
That Clarence Darrow, nationally "mown criminal lawyer of Loeb and Leopold fane," should make the statement to a Nebraskan reporter, "If you want to be an attorney and the other professions because the rich students are the only ones that have a chance in these fields," was both a shock and disappointment, and was greeted with about the same response the better writer makes in a box of cork flakes.
If it were true that only rich students bid a chance of making a success in a profession, then the country would have less students in the maintenance of medical and law schools, because rich students could afford to go to private institutions.
This bit of fatherly advice in 1
493 describes how a college paper, where most of the students do not happen to be rich seems like dropping a bomb in a sewing bee, at least it could not cause such damage. Such a doctrine would fit perfectly into the old caste system where only and holding nobs were gentlemen in those days. In these days the most that a peasant could hope for was to cultivate land or his lord and master. A son could be nothing but follow in the footsteps.
The Hawk's Nest
Fortunately, Mr. Darwes's advice, though probably given with the best intention, makes sense because it sounds like the philosophy of a pessimist. As products of the twentieth century young people prefer to embrace their own experiences and other famous American personages who have succeeded in spite of the fact that they did not start out as students.

MEETING THE PRESIDENT
No eager crowds besiege the Secretary of State or the head of the National Museum or even the chairman of the National Screw Thread Association, who is shaking the hands of those servants of the public. But at noonday a gathering of visitors enter) the White House to meet the President, the immince to do so she wears an ivory necklace that she gives to the public of the United States. It arises partly in the attraction of a prominent personality; partly also in the feeling that nourishes the similar associations to be presented to the ruler.
According to a report from Washington, President Howard has it in mind to do away with the custom of having employees take valuable, much taken up, and likely to find better employment than clamp hands with those of us who have the opportunity to thank you to say, "Do we do?" The custom nevertheless dies hard; the Harding Administration restored it and now the nation is Norr is it wholly without reason.
We have, in theory, a government of institutions rather than a government of people. In this case it comforting to obtain evidence that these institutions have somebody at their head. He appreciates the evil of the government's light and the sense of touch supply. It reassures him to suppose that in use of need a channel his open access to information is maintained contact with his Government. When we need the direct aid of his Government, he supports a Congressman or his Senator. But he instinctive impression remains but the right of direct approach to such matters is not found of value, and the average person feels

WHY MEN GO WRONG
Why do men go wrong, despite all the pressure of custom, principle and precept? Because they surrender their principles to others. For example, mallice, greet or to the lowerlevelers of the society. They give gifts in because the enemy is too strong. The first decision that is in their hand is whether to abstract good and evil or between conscience and appetite or between a natural and arbitrary judgment. "Yes" and "No." Any man can make such a decision, and every man who is all that a man should be must accept it.
A President, like a king, possesses an undefended power as a minister and move among the organizations and institutions. The President might at times expect that power more widely than he does. He has little time or money to maintain his ranks of millions of persons; his routine receptions have, therefore, remained formal and without practical touch. His authority in new eras no easy matter.
By one answer he holds on to his right to make other like decisions; by the other he surrendered over little that right. He has not met it, for

he can win back to it, but he has taken the first step away from his human heritage of freedom. Nor does his family become a model for body itself becomes the ally of evil against him. He may become the literal slave to a single veto, and yet he has no power to resist by which to find foilhood to recovery. Men go wrong when they hold their freedom too lightly. They are more likely to fight against them against their power to say "Yes" or "No." This power, above all things, is the human dignity and responsibility.
