THE TEACHER PAYS The recent variant of the Kansas City jury assessing damages against a school teacher for administering a shipper to a disabled pupil close another page in the history of the feud between parents and teachers. Also the incident might well serve in a starting point for those student of criminology who are endeavoring to explain a so-called increase of youthful criminals. Whatever may be said on the above case as to the legality of the teacher's notion—whether the punishment was or was not too severe, whether the testimony of children ranging from 14 years down to six and seven should or should not be used as evidence, and so forth—it must be admitted that the teacher had the right to demand and expect obedience from the pupil. Youth's education to conformation to authority must start in the home. It must be taught that at all times there are rules which it must obey or suffer punishment for disobedience, if, however, a child feels that in the house it has a refuge where it may seek to escape the penalty for such wrong-doing, there is breed in that child a contempt for all authority. This contempt will eventually develop into disrespect for the laws of the state and of the nation. It remained for Pennsylvania to bring forth the John Doe who would marry Mary Blank. That was too much of a feat for even original Kansas. FOR $6,000 We have heard a great deal about how the world is changing. Everyone tells us that all tradition, all custom, is lost. We were just about to become convinced that our informers were right, when we saw an announcement in the paper that showed in how wrong we were. A 19-year-old girl of Siren, Wisconsin announces that she is willing to give up all romantic love dreams and offer herself on the auction block in exchange for enough money to ensure comfort for her aged parents. Now, men, here is your chance. The old-fashioned girl you are always yearning for may be yours—all for $6000 (dollars). This girl belongs to the all-too-rapidly disappearing type of woman whose courage and industry was exerted in seeing that someone provided for them. Contrast this patient attitude with the shocking comet of these terrible modernities who go brazenly out and make their own living when they find it won't come to them. Yes, it has been a long time since we have seen such an announcement. Our faith in humanity is revived. Dr. Honorio Puyreredo, chief Argentine delegate to the Pan-American conference, certainly has proved himself a man of his convictions. Even after he had received instruction from his government to take a more compromising stand he continued unfinished in his demands. To demonstrate his sincerity he resigned his ambassadorship to the United States. "DEAD MEN GLEAMING WHITE" Everyone seems willing to contribute to the beauty of Watson library except the students themselves. The taxpayers of the state, the alumn, the graduating senior classes all add their hit while the students seem engaged in conscientious warfare against them. How often as one enter the home of learning does one not find the doorway bedecked with masculine longers lazily drawing on a cigarette as they idly sertificate the young ladies as they come and go. With never a thought in the world for the results, they vigorously scratch a match against the beautiful monastery, leaving a mark which ranges from yellow to black. There is hardly a place within human reach that has not been so defaced. On either side of the steps huy a veritable 'mountain' of "dend men gleaning white," from which a puff has been extracted and they leave all to reembellishment. "Not a cocoa in a carbond," says one advertiser, but surely must be a cough here at the library for remonstrations of what has gone before are strenued far and wide on either side. Students would think twice before they would make themselves guilty of such carelessness on the porteries of their own homes. Such tactics could not survive the criticisms of their friends and neighbors. Outsiders judge the University by appearances such as this. If we must smoke let us dispose of our "butts" elsewhere in our front yard and light our matches elsewhere than on public property. After viewing the recent wrestling exhibition, Gladys, the office girl, says she knows plenty of people who could put on a better necking party. RECIPROCITY At Havana the Pan-American conference has run against a sang in the negotiations of countries desiring to live ambiently in the same neighborhood. Argentina, through her spokeswoman, Mr. Puccenod, asked the membership of the conference to pass a resolution expressing disapproval of tariff regulations which tend to restrict the "freedom of inter-American commercial intercourse." Argentine is a natural competitor of the United States in the export trade. Her products are chiefly agricultural, due to almost identical climatic conditions in the two countries. She says now that the Forney-McCumber tariff, even though not aimed directly at her, has become a chief harbor her export trade because of this similarity of products. The Pan-American conference refused to pass the proposed resolution because of a fear that the United States might misunderstand the intent of the meeting in this expression. Argentine then refused to consider other matters of importance until the problem of tariff had been settled satisfactorily. Trouble ensued. Argentine instructed her representative to cease to block further diplomatic considerations. Upon this final move of his government, Mr. Pucyrcodron tendered his resignation as representative to the conference and as ambassador to the United States. The wall of Argentine has remained unheard. The high wall of protection remains about our commerce. Argentine desired an expression favoring a reciprocal tariff. It was not granted. The United States should heed the call of southern markets. It is possible that a little injury might be done American shipping of agricultural products, but it can not be doubted that the good will and increased industrial exports would in the end be profitable and sensible. America is, and she must recognize the fact, a world power. New Spring Hats $5 - $6 - $7 HOUK AND GREEN CLOTHING CO. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Val.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING CONVOCATION; With grade crossings increasing at the rate of about a thousand a year, the railroads are protecting that they should not be expected to eliminate each crossings when the state and county authorities will not cooperate by building roadways overhead or under-track. The contention of the railroads is probably well founded. There is no doubt that the grade crossing is a nuisance, but the large number of persons who drive into trains rather than being bit squared by the trains proves that the railroads are, in many cases, not to blame. A recent decision of the supreme court declared that the motorist knows that he must stop for the train, and not the train for the motorist. The college student who persists in driving a car while intoxicated or while giving his attention to things other than his driving should not use grade crossings. If he does he should not blame the railroad if he wakes up in eternity. Although statistics are lacking on the point, it is probably true that the greater number of persons killed or injured in grade crossing accidents are young people. Youth is prone to drive on the track, then look. Boot-leg lipor and petting often figure out. What the Kansas Editors Say Education Education is changing rapidly, particularly higher education. The leaders of our educational institutions are beginning to feel that the examinations we take in a few days before are a snare and a delusion as a test for acertaining the amount of judgment, information, and character a student has got out from school. The plan of reading periods, free from the distractions of lectures, which Harvard has just installed constitutes another interesting experiment. It is possible to group two periods aggregating seven weeks and coming, respectively, before the mid-year and the final examination. In the first week, freshmen, will have no classroom work and can devote themselves to courses of reading laid out by instructors as preliminary to the writings. In the second week, aminations by which Harvard rightly sets great store. These latter and the tutorial system have made the new experiments more accessible to who accuses the announcement in his annual report. Mr. Lowell admonishes frankly that what Harvard is engaged upon is only with the college, and the students are permitted during reading periods to range about Europe. American youth is not yet qualified for college; so it should be to it by degrees. The Harvard experiment is not as revolutionary as the Harvard experiment in Virginia, which is an exceedingly exciting Wisconsin, which is an exceedingly exciting perimental that the students unde Doctor Meldeljohn are popularly known as "gunner pigs."—Emporin Gazzette. New Dobbs Hats for Spring Now Ready W. G. Gamble Says in a letter to the Star: If you own a suit as "hot" as this one. you won't need anything but a muffler to keep you warm these days. But if your clothes are the kind that most K. U. men approve (Society Brand Clothes) you'll want an Ober Topcoat for style if not for comfort. $35 Others $25 to $45 There is much complaint of helplessness *p* der prohibition. Doubtless there is cause. But prohibition is much better enforced than license ever was. How did we come to get prosecution? When did the wrath of the people that they langed the eighteenth amendment over with the greatest majority in the nation begin? Every student, wet or dry, will say that it was largely the laxness of the licensed liquor traffic. Every street corner had levels of the traffic were contemptuously trampled under foot and spit up. The law said, "Still not sell to druckers or minors," but the suburban police told women, low level women, denying vlc pictures, permit gambling, keep open on Sunday"but, in the shing of the South, many towns were closed to option areas were established by vote of the people, but the traffic immediately organized to trample the weak people and flood the dry area with booze. The lion traffic was outlawed because everywhere and at all times it lived the life of a social bandit, killing and eating a bloody freecroaker and a pitiless pirate. It is that yet, for prohibition purposes, the lions were removed the protection of the law. The United States Naval Academy now requires that equipment to take on aircraft. The explanations made that golf has become a necessary part of the traveling equipment. The Navy department is fixing to get itself into more trouble when it tells the U.S. Army that $1,000,000 additional appropriation. It would not be difficult to divide the people of the country into two groups: the Army and the Navy who do not play golf. The high opinion which the first class has of itself will influence future combat operations expressed by the second. Everybody knows that accuracy is an essential in an officer commanding a battalion, and knowledge is equally general that when golf players bring in their scores they are set down by all those present as accurate and reliable. The course would not naturally aid in the maintenance of equilibrium on the shifting deck of a battleship or the compilation figures required for latitude and longitude. Perhaps the managing officers of the Naval Academy are taking seriously the talk of universal peace that some observers say, so that they may become professional golfers after the navy has been tied up and allowed to rust. -Hutchinson At the Shubert By Jack Stakeherr --and the bobbed haired misc alike find that ear rings add a smart touch to the coiffure. We advise them our car shop for the last word in French, ear rings. "Wings," at the Shubert this week, is a war picture that has no equal for staring scenes, elaborate settings and good acting, and wonderful photography. Buddly Rogers takes the lead with Crawl How as his starring partner. Buddy Rogers as the young American boy and his life companion carry a story of youth and love throughout a play that contains all the horrors of war, the thrilling scenes of battle, and the play that is occasioned by the war. The entire east is good, but it is the picture in itself that demands attention. The battles of the air have become more intense planes, with cameras strapped to them, went through these various maneuvers while the cameras automatically ground out the thousands of enemy targets and ensure the greatest of its type. Machine gun fire, Arche fire, burning planes, and the accompaniments of The Maid of Lengthy Traces these air battles are shown as if the onlooker actually were taking part in the battle. In less than three hours the audience see a picture that it took 29 months to film. In those few hours the audience gets the thrill of war, the horror, the comedy, the tragedy, the ever-understated foundation of love. สูงสุด Thousands of people were used in some of the scenes which are portrayed to an exact realism. To William Arthur Wellman goes the credit for directing a film that will always carry with it a story of war in real life. Helen Carry, A, B, 26, has joined the faculty of La Cresse high school, Miss Carry will teach Latin and English. David Gambio, B. S. 25, who has been with the New Jersey Zine & Lead Company, of Palmerton, Penn, has been given a long term scholarship to for research in chemistry. He will be at Johns Hopkins University.
