THERE ARE FOOLS AND FOOLS
"With lack we will make it." The comment made before hopping off by Captain MacIntosh of the Irish Free State flying corps is already being quoted as further proof of the foolhardiness of trans-oceanean飞翔.
Not so many sense the truth of another statement by Macmishn "Someone has to take risks if there is to be progress."
That the captain and his companion,
Commandant, Fitmurair, turned back twice when conditions became dangerous in sign are enough that they were not foolhardy. They were pioneers; like pioneers they faced necessary risks but avoided all unnecessary ones.
Some pioneer have been foolish. They attempted wights which challenged the sea by reckless daring. The flyers lost. They were pioneers who dared not wisely but too freely. Their names are not found in history.
As men first died of thirst in Death valley trying to find a path across flyers have disappeared without trace in the great green. But to say that their sacrifice has been in vain is to say that all human endeavor has been useless. There are now automobile roads across Death valley. Within a few years there will be airplane routes across both oceans.
Some of the deaths this summer have been useless. The flights were undertaken merely as stunts, and the stunters paid the price. But the flights, which were properly backed have been generally successful. The public memory is short. We are already beginning to forget about Lindbergh, Byrd, Chamberlin, and Maitland. But their achievements remain; and will be more and more emulated until we shall think no more of a trans-ocean flight than we do of a steamy voyage.
Let there be discrimination in our condemnation of the flyers. Fool hardy attempts should be banned; but properly supported flights must be made. Though men die, they shall not have died in vain. Men like Mike Intooth and Byrd and Lindbergh know the risks and face them for the sake of an ideal. These are men.
OBEY THAT IMPULSE
"Stop" say the little rubber signs on many of the Lawrence streets, and they speak with voices of authority. He who heeds their advice is wise. What a feeling of self-satisfaction comes as one step on the accelerator and again swings into motion after a momentary pause at a danger zone guarded by one of these inanimate policemen! Even greater is his satisfaction if he notices that a live police man was standing behind that pole and would have caused him some little inconvenience had he not stopped.
The fact that special police are guarding many of the stop signs, however is not the reason why we should come to a complete stop there. The sight of a little child senseless on the pavement is not pleasant. Yet two children were struck in front of a single Lawrence school last week. The purpose of many of the stop sign is to protect the lives of children. Signs have been placed at all the schools in the city. Motorists should be especially careful there. A child cannot be held accountable for carelessness.
Other stop signs that should be
implicitly obeyed are those guarding Tennessee street. The slope of Mount Orend on the east is so great that drivers are tempted to come down the hill at terrific speed. The stop sign, if they are obeyed, lessen greatly the danger of collision at Tennessee street.
The annual influx of student care greater this year than ever, creates a difficult problem for the Lawrence police. Most of the streets in this city are narrow, trees hide the view at many corners, and the hills add to the danger of accidents. The only safe rule is to pay strict attention to all traffic signs.
When a motorist is driving on a street at right angles to one bearing a stop sign, he should remember the rights of the man on the other street. As soon as a driver hails at a stop sign he has done his duty. He then has the same rights as a motorist on an intersecting street. An arterial highway is not a speedway; on any street the proper speed past intersections is ten to fifteen miles on hour. Since the addition of the new traffic signs there will not be the usual accident toll in Lawrence this year. But all motorists must exercise the propose.

Editorial of the Day
The basic idea in American education seems to be to heat the whole outdoors. One of Harvard's great teachers, Barrett Wenkeli, once suggested that the degree of bachelor of arts be conferred upon every American child at birth, and that special certificates be granted for my work that might be done later on.
We can argue about it any way we like, but the fact remains that our schools and even colleges are set up for the average rather than for the gifted. The theory is to put every one on a common platform and raise them together.
But the pace cannot exceed the average; the power minds must be carried along, even if the brighter suffer. Whatever democratic advantages there may be in this system in breaking up ensembles and social distinctions, such a leveling influence and such identity of training cannot fail to produce edits of their own. Such numbers are involved that the product bears the inevitable mark of quantity production and of moderacy. So many millions cannot be jaunned through high school and such great numbers through college without leaving the impress of a cut-and-dried steam roller quality.
The whole institution, high school and colleges, speaking broadly, is relatively easy to do, and is set up for the average mind. So many do it without possessing any pronounced or even real intellectual ability, and yet are rated by the system as having the college label, that actual distinction evaporates.

Census Shows Surplus of Women in England
London, Sept. 17 — Strong predisposition of the female species, the disappearance of large families, and the emergence of new families are new highlights of an analysis, just published, of information gained from the census of England and Wales.
Locius Eckes was expected to enter the Harvard medical school, according to a card received from W. C. Eckles, Eskridge.
With 649 people for every square mile of territory these two localities were more densely populated than any other area in the world. Nearly 80 percent of the people live in towns and about half of those reside in 45 cities of over 100,000. Of the 17,178,060 persons gainful, 234,520 are employed. The surplus of women over men in the two countries amounted to 1,700,000 and showed up particularly in the age group between 25 and 49 years old for every 1000 unmarried men. The high cost of living was evidently reduced the size of Brits' families to a minimum of five and together averaged only 1.27 children apiece.

K. U. Geology Professor Visits Many Interesting Points in Trip Through Western States
With 9,600 miles of auto covered highway behind Jim, and an impressive mass of information and expertise from his associate professor of geology at K. U., returned to Lawrence Sept. 5, from an extensive tour of the various points of scenic and geological interstates in the eastern regions of the United States.
Accompanied by his wife, Doctor Schowne acted as instructor to the young students during several weeks during the past summer in practical research work in the mornings of the week.
Leaving the students, whose summer course had been completed, at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Doctor and Mrs. Schoewe resumed their tour of the west which was to be a delightful summer outing as well as a meeting with the doctors, the latter being the doctor's first reason for undertaking the trip.
Spending a short time in Southern California, where they visited the southern branch of the state university located in the town of Tia Juanna in Old Mexico, they drove north to Yosemite National Park. While in this region of the state, they took the Sequoia Park and later Mount Lassen, the only active volcano in the United States, and Doctor Schowe discovered much in his research that greatly his lecture program at K. U. Accompanied by Mrs. Schowe, he descended into the depths of the crater where he secured several photos.
The Schoewes also visited the beautiful Lake Tahoe, the highest body
nauguration of Autumn to Be in Early Evening
(Science Service)
Washington, D.C. The inauguration of autumn will be an early evening event this year, according to the United States naval observatory here, which determines and broadcasts the nation's time.
The exact moment at which the sun will cross the equator has been determined at 817 p. m., eastern time on January 2nd, and at this time, day and night are of equal length all over the world; thereafter and until the winter solstice, when the sun reaches its northernmost point and starts northward again, the daylight hours in the
After a short time under the shadow of Mount Shasta in northern California, they drove to Crater Lake, Oregon, in the Crater Lake National Park. This lake flies the depression of an ancient volcanic crater and is the greatest depth. It is of the temperature of ice, and is of an intense blue in color.
Entering Washington, they followed the Grand Conduit, former bed of the Columbia river, and Doctor Schwehe describes this drive as undoubtedly the most beautiful in the United States. The mountain that Montana was their next objective, and here Doctor Schwehe made an intensive study of the Spur glacier.
Following the North Pine river valley out of Wyoming, they made their way across the Canadian border and they arrived just a week before the opening of school having driven their families to the region.
In Wyoming, the Schouwes found Yellowstone Park, the hot springs at Thermopolis, and Hells Half Acre to be the points of chief interest in that state, and accumulated considerable interest. He gave give up to his students this year.
While in the west Doctor and Mrs. Schowes visited all of the larger cities, and took advantage of their opportunities to visit the various institutions of learning in the state through lectures, alliances, campuses, Land Stanford, California, University of California, Berkeley and Los Angeles, California and the universities of Oregon, Washington and Montana.
