"They had no business in school. They were so dumb they couldn't keep up the pace set by the instructor." Thus is settled the scholastic fate of the flunker—the "just plain dub."
JUST PLAIN DUR
It is refreshing to read the editorial comment on this heavy judgment that is made in the current issue of The Journal of the National Education Association.
"Great teachers," the journal aurs,
"have always been awakeners, stirrers-up of human souls, finders of talents. But here are youths—thousands of them—turned back with talents neither found nor trained in an age that relentlessly calls for training.
"A democratic view," it continues, "inists that even the stupid and wayward grow; that their growth can be guided to the advantage of themselves and society, and that it is reasonable to expect schools to change their curriculums and to perfect their teaching as new problems arise."
Constantly increasing enrollments and limited facilities have given rise to many difficult administrative problems. The midinstructor and the mid-Victorian grading system are so much emphasized by modern critics of education that the more personal problem—the individual student—often overlooked.
It is well to remember that true conservation of youth means the development of each individual to the maximum extent, whether he be "brilliant" or "just plain dub." After all, not the occasional brilliant man, but the great body of "dub"—the ordinary, less sensational or famous public—forms the backbone of society.
The present student generation seems to believe that you can drive a student to pledge money for the Union Memorial, but you cannot make him pay.
Yet, as The Journal argues, a society richer than ever before, and as highly specialized as the one in which we live today, can well afford a longer training period for its youth. "Without the conservation of youth, no other conservation is worthwhile."
College parents can still kiss their children goodnight, if they wish to stay up until the early hours of the morning.
SHAME ON YOU
The editorial from the Arkansas City Traveler which follows has nearly broken the heart of the Kansan. For if the truth were known it would probably develop that it was written by a graduate of this department, Ben Hibbs, once the editor of the Kansan. It is indeed and that one of the alumni has so forgotten his training as to indulge, even once a month, in that naughty word—should we be catpoken? Well, no, just let it go at the naughty word.
REGRETABLE
A well known Kansas editor, in writing to The University Daily Kansan to protest against the confusion of his name with that of another writer, Jude Fischer, to sive "damm." And the Kansan in commenting upon the letter regrets the use of the "naughty word." It is regrettable, too. Not because the writer was wrong in question, but because the depressing episode instances a thing which happens in many newspaper office, or in an ad, a mouth presses but what somebody flies off the handle and says "damm." The regrettable word seems to be as necessary to newspaper production as it is necessary to ad presses. And apparently there is nothing one can do about it. "Damm" simply won't bring the copy fluttering from the "mills" or shove a paper over the desk or into a printer. So while The Traveler is melancholy along with the Kansan, it cannot join with any heart in the anti-damn crusade. Regrettable as it is, a news reporter at the Arkansas City Traveler.
Mr. Hibbs knows that such a word is never spoken within the sacred confines of the journalism building. It is probable that there are quite as
is never spoken within the sacred promises of the journalism building. It is probable that there are quite as many occasions for its use there are at the Traveler, but we never, never say it. If only our alumni and the editors of Kansas would remember the moral teachings of their alma mater and of the faculty of the department of journalism the press of the state of Kansas might be a sweeter influence in the life of the citizens of this great and more or less sovereign commonwealth.
At any rate, Mr. Hibbs, having been present at a banquet several months ago at which the official voll of the department was rendered with a shocking effect before some several hundred high school editors, might have known that the naughty word is tabbed here.
The very idea!
At The Theater
By Jack Stokenberg
Bowerock; "Chicago," starting Phyllis Haver and Victor Vancourt in a highly overestimated melodramatic satire.
--our worst flights of fancy we have never heard of a newspaper going to such extensive measures for a story of that sort. Our laugh came, however, when she lost her public favor to another new murderess whose fate was still undecided at the end of the picture.
"Chicago" is a great picture taken from the standpoint of publicity and advertising but wholly lacks any other merit, that is, unless the mediocre actress is given more than due consideration to be given more than due consideration. There are a few instances when the acting of the two is worthy of comment on the favorable side but the performance as a whole is dependent upon whether the play is unable to bear the burden.

There are a few satirical instances that keep the film from being an ontire waste of celluloid.

The story itself is weak, being a rehash of the same old stuff with a few new angles thrown in for atmosphere. The masterpiece was a parental wife of a poor young working man who was forced to cook his own breakfast, and he came home to an empty room,

but wife, after being questioned by the district attorney, thinks that she has been betrayed by her husband and harves the fact that it was her dead. The criminal lawyer, the court's chief counsel, makes up the root of the civil action although we must not leave out the fact that he has paid in money to pay the lawyer's fee. He lies, stands, cheats and sacrifices or his wife life. Sympathy for her will turns home with her husband. The husband is saved from detection of her crime by the house kid who has a child. She is forced to leave, her wife is forced to leave out to the rainy world, while husband she forms, amusement parties between fits of anger.
