SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 1928 THE PROFESSION OF ARMS The interpretation of the life of an army man given by Major General Harry A. Smith in his talk Friday was undoubtedly a novel one to many of us. The idea that the army officer is a member of a profession and that that profession is not one of butchery but of services, like any other, was ably presented by our distinguished guest. If we compare the life of the army officer with that of men in the commonly accepted professions, however, we must concede that such a life compares favorably with them in unofficial service, disregard for monetary reward, and need for intellectual equipment. The man who succeeds best in the army service is the one who has most of the qualities that General Smith commented After the great war many persons in America aware that that must be the last in which we engaged. There are those who say that there must never be another war for any cause. Most persons, however, recognize that there will always be need for an army for defense purposes, an army intelligently offered and well equipped. In that army we could wish to have the leadership in such hands as those of General Smith. Men of ideals are needed in the profession of arms to make it a real profession and not a "matches' trade." There's one less station to tune on now. The government has silenced station WNBA for persistent violation of the radio commission's orders. Now if they will only catch the rest of them. POOR MR. FORD Henry Ford's annual report for 1928 shows conclusively that he has but 50 million dollars in the past year. And now the surplus and reserve accounts of the Ford Motor Company amount only to the trifling sum of $608,559,092. The people of the United States must express to Mr. Ford their great sorrow over his misfortune. The only thing possible at present is the sending of letters of condolence and sympathy. These messages should be brief so that Mr. Ford may comfort himself by reading them all personally. Then as time goes on and more and more new Fords are delivered, the public must dig deep into its pocket, and buy enough cash to pay Mr. Ford many times over for his lot 50 million. Then he will know that in his hour of need he has not been deserted by the American people. Lots of new things in our window— Pleased to show you THE CASTORIA METHOD In a day when psychiatrists and aliens are discovering new and "scientific" excuses for whatever of human failure and inability exists, the old pansy and remedies are going into the discard. Modernity is reflecting itself in our moral and ethical codes as well as in our bathroom and heat-fittings. Old nudges and proverbs are become material for kindling the fire furnace. Such words and phrases as "influx, ness," "back of self discipline," and "characteristics," which once were used freely to describe the causes for the various forms of human dereliction, have been tucked away in the attic trunks, and we have in their stead, "mutilation," "under or over- development of the epoe," and "anti- social," to be used in explaining away our much nudged off frillities. Especially in the realm of education are our new expatriates of cause and effect developing their greatest proclivity. Just recently student investigators at K, U, have shown us why our college courses are all wrong. Other schools have taken up the baton of scientific research in this respect, and in a few more months we may expect to see existing views and evil in our universities east in to the inexperiencer, while a new era of educational dispensation is trumpeted in. It has been discovered that our instructors are to blame for everything. Students complain of attending classes two or three times each week, as the case may be, by staying awake by sleeper duty, and, by their presence, faithfully cooperating with those whose duty it is to give them knowledge, only to find at the end of the semester that they have nothing to show for their four-and-a-half months of attendance. The instructors are, it appears, simply unable to make the students learn. Furthermore they offer no incentive to learning. With the state and their parents paying out large sums of money for their instruction, the students discover that their professors cannot teach them. The professors, with young and impressionable minds irradied before them in rows of ten, fail miserably in locating a target for their shafts of knowledge. Something, of course, has to be done. The youth of the state must be educated. That is why universities and colleges have been established If the educational system used now by our teachers cannot accomplish their end, other methods must be devised. In connection with their recent findings the investigators at K U. might well suggest; That prizes in the form of mechanical toys or drug store "couches" be given as rewards to those students who learn one or more facts each day; that instructors dramatize their roles, professors of literature wearing the costumes of the Elizabeth stage and coaching their lectures in lambic pentameter and heroic completes, the teachers in other departments capturing through the naties appropriate to Suiting You That's My Business Schulz, the Tailor We Appreciate Your Business Rent-A-Ford Co. 916 Mass.

It was almost impossible to get word to those members of the faculty who were not at the convention. There was, accordingly, considerable confidence with reference to the classes immediately after the convention. Instructors are requested to regard the third hour as ensailed so far in their records are concerned whether they actently not these classes or not.

Len Cianney could no doubt portray the lovely role of the Animoso in "The Diving Line of Sex," in a powerful way. These are but tentative place which will impress the way to future development in the art of education. Others more practical and less outlived will be evolved by the brilliant mind already at work on the problem. The defects in our educational system have been courteously and faithfully searched out. The remedies will not be long coming. The enter oil of the Fancietti will, in American, give way to the custorina of the faculty. Unlit the new ceil! EASTER IN RUSSIA Shades of Nicolai Lernat! The Easter festival was celebrated in Russia without any Soviet interference. Russia, with all its communistic program appears to be holding a tolerant religious view. Easter service, in Moscow were held everywhere on the open air on squares facing the churches. Impassioningly garbled priests, singing crowds, elenting parishioners and praying crowds preached the arrival of the Russian Easter. The praying parishioners were mostly old and middle-aged. Religious youth were few and far between. There seems to be no younger generation taking its place in the churches of Riverside since the communities have propagated their schools.

Russia under the communistic educational system is suppressing religious preference and inclusion insofar as consideration is being denied their youth. To their credit is the tolerance with which the old church of the Russian people is now allowed to exist. What is that Irish flyer up to now? He must surely have some reason or forging his two friends. A DREAM COME TRUE And now there has been invented the watchmaker's dream—the perpetual motion wrist watch. The movements of the arm wind the watch, and even keep it assured of a reserve of power to run it from twenty-four to thirty hours when taken off. We are assured also that there is no danger of this marvel of the ages becoming overwound, Besides saving us the time and energy necessary to keep our watches running more than half of the time, there are other advantages. Instructors will become so irritated watching arms moving rythmically about keeping watches running at top speed that they will dismiss classes early. We need never be late for school, locals or appointments with this dependable timepiece. And best of all, homeowners may be certain there will be no more tardy days, since watches will not stop. Plain Tales From the Hill A freeman from Indiana who bided home during Easter vacation with a friend, stopped on the way at a small restaurant where he had recently been located. He asked a restaurant owner what institution it was and upon being told it was a Free Methodist church he returned. 1. ..1 He was an artist's son and had designs on the girl, but she was an architect's daughter and had other plans. "Oh, I see. Gosh, they get free tuition here and everything. That's keen." Blue Monday, very blue, the class had been exceptionally dull, and dumb. Came the whistle. "Wait a minute," enailed Professor Blackman, "that was the liveliest move you've made this morning. A group of Pachacamaca were accented by grade school arches with the shout, "Hello, Sun-up!"
