The Daily Kaanan idea is to picture the University; to go further than merely print books; to hold hands and play fun games; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be caring; to be kind; to have more serious problems to wiser hands; in addition, to help the ability of the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 9.1923
The French have sent Krupp, the maker of the "Big Bortha" to prison. That isn't the place to which the American doughboy had Mr. Krupp consigned.
CHILD LABOR
The Department of Labor published a report recently on the employment of children in the best fields of Michigan and Colorado. It was found that a large proportion of the boys and girls between the ages of six and seven years, and three-fifths of the eight-year-olds, of the 1,836 little ones investigated were engaged in this industry.
Many of these children are compiled to labor from nine to fourteen hours a day cultivating and attending on an average five acres of beets for a few cents a day, for a season of six or seven months. They live in overcrowded conditions in any sort of shelter they can get.
Although their attendance at school was found to be only 20 to 30 per cent less than that of non-working children, their work was seriously retarded and they were too tired and restless to adjust themselves to the school routine after a season of work.
Yet there is a law, the Fordney-Mcumber Profiteers' Tariff Law, which was recommended to the country as "a safeguard of American wages and the American standard of living." Do these conditions show that this law is working effectively?
A Utah senator has said, "Abolish the earning power of the beet workers' children and their prosperity and consequently their ability to educate those selfsame children would be lessened. People who live among them generally contend that it is to the advantage of the children, of their parents, and of the community at large, that the children do this work." He also said that such labor is not necessary to the well being of the sugar industry. Perhaps this is true. Perhaps at the time being it is materially worth it to the families. But in the long run they would find that the children's happiness and education is most important and materially worth while. In his last statement this senator once more demonstrates what a benevolent institution a Beet Sugar Trust is capable of being.
These helpless children should certainly be protected by legislation. That legislation should come about through public sentiment and should be administered with an iron hand. If each state is not able to handle it separately our federal laws should be made more stringent.
The United States government is about to investigate the high price of sugar. That's all right if the investigators are sufficiently hard of heart. Otherwise the deplorable financial situation of the sugar dealers may so move the commission that it will suggest another $4,000,000 government hand-out.
Once more the "inviolable rights" of Americans have been upheld by an American woman in Greece, who shapped a native policeman that tried to arrest her.
OUR CRITICAL AUDIENCE
Although the Kansan is always striving to reduce errors in its news and editorial columns to the minimum, occasional mistakes creep in. That much is admitted. Every newspaper, the metropolitan daily and the country weekly alike, has this to contend with.
The remarkable thing, however is that the Kansan hears promptly about the errors that appear in its columns, and learns to ignore them, any of the things that it does well.
In the University faculty the Kansan has a peculiarly critical audience—an audience that is not always inclined to play fair in the matter of criticism. Let us not be misunderstood. The Kansan appreciates good, constructive criticism, directed at the proper persons and given in a civil manner. But it does not care for the "sand-bagged" methods too frequently used upon it. The usual method of attack is to seize upon the first available member of the department of journalism, and denounces him, his department, and his paper in no uncertain terms. Having properly "sand-bagged" the victim, the critic may have enough idle curiosity to look at the list of staff members to see whether he happened to "get" the right person. The Kansan is a student paper run by a staff of editors, and criticism of the paper, to be fair and helpful, should be given to the editor. And the editors, being human like their critics, can work better with an occasional consciousness of having pleased.
The point is that the Kansan also appreciates an occasional bit of praise. There are a few faculty members—they could be numbered on one's ten fingers—who make it a point to commend members of the Kansan staff when the paper does something well, as well as to criticize them when they blunder. These faculty members, notably a certain history professor, evidently interpret the word critic in its broader meaning, and they have found a soft spot in the hearts of those who work on the University paper.
And, lastly, it is suggested that those who, comparing the Kansan with the New York Times, find the Kansan a little lacking somewhere, come to the newspaper library and then glance over some of the other university dailies of this country. The Kansan invites a fair comparison.
If Ford really wants to be president of the United States he is pursuing the right plan, without g titting into politics. He now owns $536, 751,950 of it.
MEN WHO CHEW
"Men who chew are men who do."
So reads a prominent advertisement of some exceptionally fine brand of chewing tobacco. However the advertisement only tells half a truth and fails to go on and elucidate upon what it is the men who chew actually do. It falls also to tell the breathlessly waiting public the many ad vantage which arise from the acquisition of this admirable habit.
Of far greater value than smoking as an attribute to manliness is the dainty habit of chewing tobacco. There is something about it which seems to fill the mainly breast with keen admiration for himself and a more definite appreciation for the great powers which are his. What man does not thrill with pride to know that he can expectorate a greater quantity and at greater length than some other worthy gentleman? Show us the man who does not point with pride at his two predecessors in the art of chewing—the cow and the goat? Man is more than proud to own his indebtedness to these professionals in the cud chewing art. A thing of value to those who chew is the prestige which it gives them. Every woman realizes the public glamour which hangs about the men who chew, and she gives them a higher place in her esteem according to the size of tobacco they can keep in their mouth.
There really should be a separate course in the School of Fine Arts which would teach some of the younger boys who desire to take on manhood on a higher scale, the fine points of tobacco chewing, proper manipulation of quids, gauging distances, etc. In this way so much time in experiment-

Nipped in the bud, cut down in the glory of its youth—this is the fate which belfit the promising young mustache of one of the senior civils. Reliable authorities say that it was a very good mustache--while it lasted. Apparently his comrade in the department couldn't see it that way, however. Either from envy or anger, the seniors of the department collected a few of their serial instruments and forely removed the right half of the engineer's new hirsute adornment. Apparently discouraged by the loss, he has since restored equilibrium by shaving off the other side himself.

used to think it was because they hadn't been there so long and were tired. But the fact is that it's just because they leave their hats on and don't smoke so much. It's funny what a difference it makes. The laws say as if they had just returned from a party, they smoke a smoke and the medics look like a picnic party waiting to start.

Psychological tests at the University of Maine have dealt feminism in the pine tree state a severe jolt. Since 1720 when Maine was separated from Massachusetts there has been a standing argument as to whether boys or girls best lived up to the motto of the state. "I lead."
Today, by virtue of physiological tests the point seems to be settled. From these tests the boys won, three of them scoring more than 200 points in a possible 230. None of the girls reached 200 points.
The Otis intelligence tests were employed, and the purpose was to test quickness of thought and perseverance in the conducting of scientific subjects.

Prof. Henry M. Halverson applied the test. The freshman class was selected as the subject for the test. Twenty-nine students, 261 boys and 55 girls. All the highest places were scored by the boys. But, and here come the rub, the boys also fell below the standard as some lower grades than any of the girls.

The girls do not take the test as a disappointment, feeling that the excellent compensates for the fact that the high ranking students are not among the girls. The situation Maine because the majority of high ranking students in the prep schools and high schools are girls.
