THE ARMY MOVES FOR- WARD
Major-General Summerall, chief of staff of the United States army, has ordered more extensive maneuvers this year than the army has ever before undertaken in peace times. His orders will bring the first and second infantry divisions and the first cavalry division in extensive field exercises, and intensive practice in the use of motorized units and machine weapons which have not yet been tried under battle conditions.
The value of this extensive field training is easily seen even to a person not of a military mind. Owing to the fact that our regular army is so small in comparison to that of other nations, the assembly and maneuvering of as much as three divisions is an important event in our military policy. The World War showed us that our officers did not have enough practice in the maneuvering of large units, and it has been said that the failure of our army to advance rapidly in the Argentine was due to this low experience on the part of our officers.
Great change and progress has been made in our fighting apparatus since the war. This makes the maneuvers of utmost importance. With the new motorized equipment, troops and supplies can be moved very rapidly, making a more definite time of troop movement an absolute necessity. Subordinate officers must be trained in both practice and theory of troop movement and supply, so that the army can function to its highest possible degree of efficiency.
The army cannot rest on the information gained in the last war, but must continually practice with the new equipment and meet the new conditions which it will encounter in case of another conflict. General Summerall's action of ordering the munitions this spring shows that the lessons learned in the World War are no longer being forgotten, and that the United States is not letting its army to remain inactive on the battle experience gained eleven years ago.
Call Blackmer in Vain—Headline And that isn't all the prosecuting at tormneys are calling him either.
IT IS FROM ENGLAND. TOO
"The world has changed; old class barriers have been broken down; everyone whose opinion is worth taking knows that a 'gentleman' or a 'lady' is not necessarily of any special class."
This quiet rebuke was administered by Hartley Kenkail Cook of the London Daily Mail to Sir Auster Chamberlain, of the British House of Commons, who asserted that he spoke as "an English gentleman." In a country where the class system is almost as much of an institution as the king, the statement is revolutionary. As late, possibly, as the days preceding the World War, such a statement would not have been heard in England. The war undoubtedly spread a new gospel in England; a national crisis such as she passed through cannot be met and conquered without the leveling of institutions never again to be repaired.
A DECISION BY A HAIR
A DECISION BY A HAWE
"Wee Willie!" Doerr, weighing lots and reaching high, is in trouble, but is relying on a mustache to save him from conviction on a charge of robbery.
It seems that Mrs. Nora H. Savage was robbed of diamond rings and other thinga-gig-jigs women wear sometimes. She identified "Sweet William" as the villain who did the dirty work but testified he had no mustache at that time. All this happened November 1, 1927.
Now Mr. Deer is quite sure he did have some kind of a growth on his upper lip. He admits it was sparse, but still holds that a mustache is a mustache, all rumors to the contrary notwithstanding. In fact, the necuson has found 14 persons, all of whom have sworn that he had a mustache at the time of the robbery.
Mr. Savage known Mr. Doerr robbed he says the bitten admonition, Mr. Doerr says he didn't rob her and that his mustache is of more ancient vintage than Nov. 1.
There are machines to test the veracity of anybody's statements. Why not a machine to test the age of a mustache? It could do much to render justice.
The State Supreme court has refused George Romney bail, and ruled that he must stay in the hospital for the inmate. Without a doubt this group is composed of men who are decidedly dry.
VHAT THE TROPHIES MEAN
Two loving cups, regular beauties,
go to Blue Rapids and Eureka high
schools for the 1928 state debate
championships in Class B and Class A,
respectively.
Those come represent a large amount of work—of mental effort—for debate is the type of activity that requires just as consistent training as athletics and a good deal more active thinking. The new champions are to be congratulated on the abilities they have shown in this field. But not all the boner belongs to the victors, Win or lose, the participants not the same mental development, and develop the same interest in problems of the day, both in themselves and in their communities. The breadth of this interest may be measured by the questions which have been debated in recent years, covering the fields of politics, industry and international relations.
The cups which go to Rua Rapids and Foraea and those which have been awarded previously to champions in districts and leagues throughout the state, are not a recognition of formal merit alone. They testify to a well-rounded field of high school activity, a field in which mental development is placed in the balance along with physical activity, with the result that there is less of "top-heavy" on the side of athletics.
AN EDUCATION OR A SCHOOLING?
Who uttered this heresy? Some bolsheviki from real Russia? No, indeed. An American professor of education, Joseph K. Hart, of the University of Wisconsin, who for most of his life has been attempting to stimulate philosophic inquiry among his students, and has finally reached the conclusion that they want not a liberal education but a rizq schooling.
"Americans are the best schooled and the poorest educated people in the world."
Nor in he the only professional educator who has lost faith in the present educational system. In the April number of the Forum Magazine, President Lowell of Harvard has altered almost the same words. Professor John Dewey of Columbia University, Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, author of "The American College and Its Ruers," Professor Meklojke of the

Wisconsin University Experimental College—they are but a few of many who are accusing the colleges of failing of their primary purpose.
It is a serious charge they are bringing against the methods of college education. Is it true? Consider the local campus. Tuesday afternoon and evening Silverwood Eddy spoke before University audiences on topics of universal interest. In the minds of those who heard him there is no question of their educational value. But probably not more than 600 out of 4000 students heard him. Even this is a larger group than ordinarily attends such lectures or debates or conferences.
Ask how many students read for pleasure? From the small number that frequent the browning room of the library, the percentage is almost negligible. The chief difficulty is that students have no leisure time for browning. Their time is occupied with required reading, note-taking, and cumming for spilling.
They're getting a schooling, in doubt about it. But taking the necocratic principle of no examined life as a criterion of education, it is evident that students are necessarily postponing this delight until they have received their certificate of schooling.
ILLINOIS CLEANS HOUSE
At last the Republican voters in Illinois and Chicago have indulged in a thorough and much needed house cleaning. A strong political machine has dominated that state for some months, but finally the voters have rebelled, turning out to the primaries in such numbers as overwhelmingly to defeat nearly all of the organization candidates.
The machine assured all-powerful,
But it carried things too far. The people were so assumed that they turned out and broke the grip that the political gate had held on their state.
The low standards of the state administration, the deplorable crime conditions, and the articles of Mayor "Big Bill" Thompson of Chicago, can be assigned as the main reasons for this arising of the people.
It is to be hoped that their interest in politics will not subside with this election. It may well be asked what is to be hoped from a state which
permitted such a condition to come about, but there are enough intelligent voters in Illinois to insure good government free from gang rule, if they will go to the polls at election time.
Edith, University Daily Knanen:
Re placing of names of seniors within ten hours of graduation on the commencement program:
One objection is that it would entail publication of much dead material. From my file I have a list of seniors who left the school in May 1, 1936. This list included all "seniors." Comparison of the first of nine graduated pages of mine
The letter below was sent to the edilion in answer to an editorial in the Kansas Woman's Journal on October 19, 1862. It was not intended for publication, but placed on the envelope that the mother actually sent.
Campus Opinion
You will note that the name of every graduate appears in the Commencement program, and that in the commencement in which he receives his degree, even though he may have not served for the degree the preceding summer.
Number of names, 38. Number of these names appearing on June but as actual graduation, 29. Number graduating in 1927, "applied to class" in 1926, not yet graduated in 1927 are members of that class, 1. Number not yet graduated, 4.
If the same rules continued throughout the list, there would have been 60 nurses or more of persons who didn't graduate within at least two years and permaveral, and anecdotal evidence that most present arrangements, appear on the commencement program of the year following.
Amourette
Bloods—like the first rays of spring sunshine filtering through the building trees.
Another objection to including names of persons not receiving degrees in that such expansion of the university's diploma would honor that attached to a list that may be bended: "Those persons today received the University's diploma for graduation." An incident several years ago illustrates the value that students attach to having their name on the Commencement record. A woman who had been omitted because of some irregularity in her scholastic record, declared "$he would give $20 to have her name on the Commencement record," and the school concerned, and the presses停耪. The irregularity was cleared up and the name, imparted in the printed answer, was given to the printers' time tickets showed that the University paid just about $20 for the time the printers were waiting to collect all of this one student to be heard.

Our Contemporaries
Some people are good at makin' empty promises and getting away with it. Some diplomats have a post-occupation illness, called "dry eyes." Then again, there so many who make a general mess of things. We are inclined to place Muslims in the world.
The Consistent Diplomat
His latest jest seems to prove again that he is the champion polkadot or egregarder, with his nose turned up at the rest of the world.
Some time ago, he roundly criticized foreign countries with a policy of restricted immigration, on the ground that they could not care for its forty million population. At the present time, he heeded this position, which has a large Anatolian colony, with a high band, explaining again that Italy needs all her land for her own purposes.
Yet this curious gentleness at the same time advocates large families, his beloved countrymen to raise as numerous progeny as possible offers every inducement to increase their size and is now trying to subdue them.
Abroad, he says there are too many Italians. At home, he says there are not enough. Someone is being foolish, someone is being clever, someone is clever diplomat who told the nicest fairy-tales to foreign nations, but HE knew the value of an emblem-folder" (1).
Local Newspapers
This is an era of criticism. Nearly everyone is finding fault with something. Even the newspapers are getting their share of the blame for press missteps, including wrong and are criticized for the kind of news they print as well as for their editorial policy. In this connection it will be recall something that Whitehorn read at the time editor of The York Tribune, said on the subject:
"The thing always forgotten by the closest critic of the newspaper is that they must be inimusually what their audiences make them; what their constituencies call for and sustain. The newspaper cannot uniformly resist

popular sentiment any more than the stream can flow above its fountain. To say that the newspapers are getting worse is to say that the people are getting worse now than they were wrought before, because the influence is more widespread; but they also work more good, and the habitual attitude of the newspaper is one of effort toward the best its audience will

There is food for considerable thought here. Of course in the great cities there are different kinds of newspapers, conservative journals, non-professional newspapers each with a particular field to cover. But if it is true that newspapers are what their readers make them, then there is much to be said about newspapers and their communities. For in these community titles, there is little in the way of yellow journalism and journalistic sensationalism. The small city and commercial areas have from theaint tone, rate of it comes in from the outside for the reason
