CARRYING ON
Within the next month university commencement services will have been held and hundreds of students will have their degrees, leaving college doors beyond them.
"We are educated now," many of them will say, "Our four years of work are over and we have our degrees. Let's forget books and theories; we'll do practical work now and forget education."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
But education is not completed when a degree is secured. It is not only a preparation for life; education is life. The years after one finishes school are a continuation of education, the only difference being that life is more complex and varied out of school.
The educated college graduate does not forget books when he leaves school. Neither does he close his mind to curiosity and investigation. Then it is that he becomes most critical. He reads newspapers and magazines that he did not have time to read while he was in the university. He peruses novels, biographies and books of history that were denied him in his undergraduate days because of heavy assignments in required courses.
Seniors, do not think you are leaving the University with your education completed. Do not discard books as companions, nor an open mind as your best, possession and greatest possibility. It is up to you to carry on, to add to the wealth of knowledge acquired in University days, and to apply it in the practical walks of life.
It is sometimes doubtful that H. I. Mencken approves of even himself.
JOHN BULL GETS PEEVED
John Bull is颁证 at his young playfellow, Uncle Sam. He's a披诵 that every time Sam straightens out his rusty joints and clears up his threat to sing "My country 'n of thee, sweet land of liberty" beeps over the top of the Atlantic and sticks his tongue out at his understudy.
It all happened this way. John and Sam and some of the other boys got terribly wrought up not long ago because Eugene Chen and Chiang Kui-shek and some of that outfit who are always fightin' among themselves roughed up a few of John's and Sam's playmates. Then John and Sam and Benito—there were about five of 'em altogether—got their heads together and wrote Eugene and Chiang a nasty letter telling them if they didn't get down on their knees and apologize and thump the bird who caused the trouble they would get a lickin' that would beat anything they ever got out behind the wooded.
Well, Chiang wrote back that he was sorry and said it must have been Chang or Sun or Wang or some of the other fellows who pulled the trick. He gave a little saxy, too, in his letter, and said he didn't think it was fair for them to accuse him of something he hadn't done. That letter stirred John's Irish—or it was his English?" —and he fullyexplied. He said he'd drag Chiang down to the river and thrash him, and then duck him in the water several times just to show 'im that he could.
Then he got Sam and the other boys together and told 'em what ought to be done to such impudent secondvals.
any would write Chiring a real letter this time, he said, and if those bloomin' chicks didn't apologize for all this roughneck stuff and come across with a little dough they'd be shown a thing or two. Sam and the other boys were to sign the letter and probably help clean up the gang if any more trouble started.
But Sam and one of the other boys said they didn't want to sign such a mean letter. That made John maudder than ever, and he called both of 'em cowards and 'fraid cats. Then Sam told John if he was so anxious to have dirty letters like that written he could write 'him himself, and besides, he ought to pay up his high debts before he accused anybody of being a coward.
John blundered and funed. "Flue bunch of playmates, he grown." Then he wrote his letter to Chiang—but didn't moll it. After all, he concluded, what would be the use of trying to lick that chink gang if Sam and the other boys wouldn't help you do it? You might get liked yourself.
At least this cool weather is a great saving to the summer wardrobe.
THE EDUCATING DAILIES
The daily press has again started on its periodical dirt slinging content. It may not be starting, but merely taking on new life in this matter of sex murder and love stories. One cannot
sick up a metropolitan or even a small town paper, that do not have glaring black headlines telling of the latest murder trial or some new method of skying. It must be said in passing that it is very considerate of people to commit these acts, for if they didn't a few graphics and some metropolitan papers would have to close shop.
Some people explain this type of news as the war reaction period, but it is time for the press to find some other brainfood for the American people. The effect upon the immature mind is anything but uplifting. This idea of making martyrts out of murderers and things who enjoy defying our laws, is creating a class of young minds and murderers. The desire of publicity seems to be a second nature in human beings and the press gives every man woman and child plenty of publicity if they invent some new method of committing a murder or a bulldo.
The time has come for the press to start re-councing the people to something higher than the latest method of committing murder or suicide gracefully.
It has often been said by the greatest minds, that the press is the moulder of public opinion, therefore journalists let us raise the public mind out of the mock and mire of the present day into cleaner, cleaner thoughts and news.
A BENEFACTOR TO SCIENCE
Man's attempt to extend his range of knowledge has ever been at a sacrifice. Of particular significance in this struggle to learn more of the universe is the aid given by benevolent persons. Research is in itself unproductive of earnings, thus necessitating appropriations on the part of someone to make its continuance possible.
Mr. Pitt's purpose is that of enabling the carrying on of certain studies with wartyoids. The information thus to be gained will greatly widen man's knowledge of the universe. With Kansas listed among the score of observatories capable of conducting such research, Mr. Pitt's telescope will help write a new history of the heavens.
While at the University of Kansas by far the greater burden of expense has been carried by the people of the state, much has been done for science by nible and kindly individuals. Soon another name is to be added to the hosts of men and women numbered among the benefactors of the University. William Pitt of Kansas City, capitalist, scientist, astronomer, will soon grind a lens for installation in an astronomical observatory at the University observatory that will give immortality to his purpose.
Such is the marvelous reward possible through the generosity of men with vision.

ARE WE SELLING OUR SOULS?
While braiding their arms about, but never touching a swinging branch, seniors are mentally treading water in the slough of despair. Perhaps when they believe it is the last time down they clutch at a stick which holds. They know the stick to be treacherous, but their courage falls when the prospect of more struggle is realized.
Several of their companions have reached solid ground, several are clutching at similar untrustworthy sticks, and a few still doggedly swim, hoping for solid ground.
These treacherous sticks are the positions offered seniors which seem "good pay" or at least a job, which do not lead them toward the goal they have kept in mind during their four years of college life. Because May is almost here and June brings graduation the mental turbulence increases. One must have a job!
Perhaps the chance offered isn't at all what he has built his ideas about; not at all his life work, but many a acuser is tempted to sell dreams to down the panic that overtakes him in the spring.

Dorothy Jones presented a tremendous program last night. A heavy sonata, concerto, Lizzt's Tantatelle and two of Chopin's most difficult etudes, all in one evening, would keep any pianist busy. The funeral march from Chopin's sonata, and the dreamy "Piano Fantasy," with her drummer, were breathless spells, but even they were on a par classically with the remainder of the program.
The program not only was heavy, it seemed heavy. There was a brilliant display of technic throughout, there werecmay fine climaxes, and there was much grandness, but it was difficult to comprehend.
The concerto of course was the climax of the program. Miss Jones bein with a heavy accompanying passage, then took up the theme with a brilliant development. There were interesting interdisades and developments, and it was the spark of power and brilliance.
