Major Cygon Says Preparedness Not Military Tendency

Purpose of R. O. T. C. a University Is Stated in Alpha Delta Sigma Talk
"The citizens of the United States, and not the regular army, have always fought the wars of the country," said Maj. J., R. Cygon in a talk given before the members of Alpha Delta Sigma fraternity last night. The students agreed to clear the purpose of the R. O. T. C at the University, and was a part of a campaign being conducted by the military science department to acquaint the students of the HILL with the aims and purposes of military training, and work of the Reserve Officers Training Corps in particular.
Major Cygnon outlined the courses offered in the basic and advanced work of both engineer and coast artillery, but also explained that the tone of the work was in no sense militaristic, but was simply the intelligent training of citizens in military work for one use or could ever be called upon to perform.
Unpreparedness Makes Waste "Due to almost unbelievable unpreparedness for the War of 1812," continued Major Clygen, in "spite of five hundred thousand men, over five hundred thousand men were required to pass through the military machine of the United States in order to repulse the invasion of only about sixteen thousand British. This was an unacceptable, complacency, and have failed to take any heed of the frightful wastes of supplies and life due to unpreparedness. I hate to think what might have happened to us during the World War if there had not been three other forces that would have got our war machine to functioning.
"After the last war, sentiment rose so that such unpreparedness as we found ourselves in before every war has been forgotten." The result of this sentiment was the national defence act of congress providing for a regular army, a national guard, and a corps of organized readiness. It also led to the creation of the army of defense.
"The organization of the army of the United States is now more efficient than ever before, but the national defense act is not a tendency to force the military to claim. It is simply preparedness, which does not mean aggression, but common sense. The adaptation of industry for immediate conversion to war-time production is another provision of the national defense act which is the essence of preparedness, not the slightening of militarism.
World Peace Not at Hand
"As long as human nature is what it is—as long as individuals and mankind are human, we will have warms. I do not say that it is futile to work for world peace, but rather that it is far beyond our present power to bring about that result. Working for world peace as such is an unchanging process. Human nature must be changed too radically before any such condition can result. The means of approach is the mind and heart of the individual man, and not through leagues and courts, whose oceans can
"These who cry for the United States to withdraw all forces from Nicaragua, and remove all American interests so they will not need protection," she said, who refused to get out of China, and who must have protection there.
"It is significant that a major war has occurred every 25 years in our past history. It will not endeavor to predict the future, but it is certainly the essence of good am ease to be prepared for change and the unpardonable waste of economic resources and life which has characterized past wars."

City Wages
F. P. OBrien Finds Country Institutions Pay One-Half City Wages
F. O. P伯恩, professor of education of the University of Kansas, made a survey of the schools of Kansas and surveyed the qualities of teachers and principals.
"Teachers in one-room schools in Kansas are reed just a little more than half as much as teachers in the larger cities," said Professor OBrien "Eleven hundred teachers in one-room Kansas schools receive less than $850. Salaries of half the remaining teacher range between $85 and $100."
Country Salary Is $90
"The average salary in the on-campus rooms is $00 a month; in cities of the third class, $104; in cities of the fourth class, and in cities of the first class, $150.
"The payment of teachers is generally for nine months, except in some of the cities of the first class where the teachers are paid for ten months."
High School Salaries Vary
"High school teachers in the country are paid $161, while the salary in the city is about $200. It was found that the cities in the second class paid their teachers on the average the largest salaries they are about $474, while the schools of the third class salaries range from $78 to $121 a month; in the second class they range from $112 to $145; and in the first class salaries range from $127.50 to $170." he said.

(THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A WOMAN)
"IT'S GOOD"
I was using a well-known household article when my friend came in.
"Why did you buy that kind?" she asked.
"Because it's good." I told her.
She asked me why. Without realizing what I was doing I gave her several technical reasons for the superiority of that machine. I listed a number of its mechanical advantages and one or more very special conveniences that I felt meant a great deal to me.
It had been widely advertised and I as a large buyer for a household, always felt that any woman may be guilded to safe and satisfactory investments for her own needs and the ds of her own needs and the needs needs of her family if she will but use the messages which the manufactures send to her in her newspaper or in her magazine.
Until I had said, "It's good," I
My reply surprised even myself. I had not realized I knew so much about it. After I had recited my reasons to her I analyzed my first answer, "it's good," and I found that answer typified all of the specific things I was able to recite about the machine which I had as a matter of fact recently purchased.
did not realize that I had been reading so much about the advantages of the machine which I subsequently purchased. One after the other those messages had gotten into my mind until when asked to do so I was capable of repeating them almost as if I had been a salesman for the company making that article.
However, I realized that the printed message had not really meant so much to me as the repeated appearance. Seeing that article over and over again meant to me that many other women had reached the point where they could purchase it sooner than I and were satisfied with it.
Almost instinctively the thought took hold of me that when I saw the name of a product appearing again and again I could feel sure that that product was living up to its promise. I could feel secure in buying it.
If only all women would realize that in whatever they buy—machines or furniture—clothing or food—dress goods or hats—jewelry or toys—they may save themselves unwise expenditures by seeking the product which through its advertising and behavior after purchase compels its thousands of customers to say, "it's good."
