The Daily Kansan aims to picture the ideal man, to teach him about Kansan; to go farther than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of his people; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be strong; to have more serious problems; to whiter hands; to all to serve to the best of its ability.

Therefore if then bring the gift to the altar, and there remembered that by brother they were sent into the altar, and after the altar, and are the way; first be recounted to the brother, and then come and give the gift to him.
INSPIRATION
You are standing dizzy by watching a musician play selection after selection. The music is good, but something is lacking. Then you hear a new note creep in — something beautiful and personal — something you can't explain. It seems to be a part of the musician's very being.
In the midst of a newspaper or magazine of medioere writing, you come squarely upon a few lines, a paragraph, or perhaps a whole article that is different. It lifts the reader out of his worklife life, and swings him to a higher plane. It shows a touch of genius it seems to emulate from a spark of something within the writer.
Every day you see pictures—many of them. Now and then you see a good one, and occasionally one that has about it the charm of real art, Perhaps it is in a fine gallery, or it may be on the cover of a cheap magazine. But it's part of the artist who made it.
What then, is this intangible something that now and then raises the workman above the routine—something that allows him to put a bit of himself into his product? It is inspiration, and comes from an intimate love of the task at hand. The world needs more of it.
The world's date supply is being endangered by the shifting sandals of the Sahara, which threaten to engulf the largest date-producing oasis. Quite strange! We had always thought that sand was very necessary in date-production, particularly after the fifth refusal.
INTELLIGENCE TESTS
INTERNALIZE THE
During the past two years Freshmen entering the University of Kansas have been subjected to intelligence tests. The tests are being given largely as a matter of experimentation, and with the hope that some day they may be developed to such a point that they will become of practical use. But criticism of the policy of giving the tests has been rife among the students and to a limited extent among the faculty.
Intelligence tests as they are now developed are by no means perfect. Even the psychologists admit that. They believe the test is rather a good criterion of the intelligence of the group, but they do not claim that it is yet efficient enough for practical use on the individual. There has been much discussion during the last few months by the thinking men of the country concerning the merits of the psychological tests. Many of them believe that the right test has not yet been found, or that the present one is not applied in the right fashion. But not one of them believe that a good intelligence test is impossible, nor does the most critical writer advocate the ceasing of all experimentation in this field.
When people here at the University object to the administration's policy of giving tests, they are objecting to scientific experimentation—the very thing that is at the bottom of all advancement. Someone has ever been ready to prophecy the failure of everything new under the sun. But scientists work on by research and experiment, and usually evolve something workable. Why should the University be criticized for its attempt to gather data that will be helpful in other years? If a great school cannot be a laboratory for scientific experimentation, then it is certainly falling in one of its purposes.
Of course, it would be an entirely different matter if the University were attempting to make the passing of the tests an entrance requirement. If students were sent home due to failure in a somewhat undeveloped psychological examination, there would be just grounds for criticism. But such is not the case. To say the least, the person who objects to the K. U. psychologist attempt to evolve something worthwhile lacks a progressive viewpoint. He is in much the same position as the English sovereign who told Columbus that "it couldn't be done."
Latinus started out on its career the other day with the Russians holding 5 axes, the Jews 6, the Germans 6, the farmers' Union 17, and the Social Democrats 30. Latinus is not a Pullman car but a nation, and the reference is to the composition of the first parliament.
SNEEZE PSYCHOLOGY
Susanne on Monday, shearne for dinner;
Susanne on Tuesday, like a stranger;
Susanne on Wednesday, receive a letter;
Susanne on Thursday, go to the library;
Susanne on Friday, shearne for sorrow;
Susanne on Saturday, joy tomorrow;
For all the next week you would be ruled it
Now with this little prophecy clearly in mind every student may find a day particularly suited for this spasmatic and nudge expiration of breath. The snuse must be abseve and natural, for Fortune would consider it a sarcifice if anyone should work up a sneeze just to fit the idea given in the verse.
To have the prophecy come true this reflex action must occur without any artificial device, such as tickling the nose with a feather. Just remember the next Sunday morning when you are in church and have a desire to sneeze what is in store for you. Do not take this line too seriously, however, for probably other elements enter into the situation that is making the world a less desirable place to inhabit.
Wednesday and Thursday seem to be perfectly safe days. You may receive a letter, or maybe it will be something better, if these days are the only ones in which a cannul sneeze is enjoyed. So urday is a safe day; Tuesday is a little risky, at least for the feminine contingent; sneezing on Monday is to be avoided.
The "law of sneezes" probably deserves a place co-equal with Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Both may hold true if the person's imagination is stretched far enough.
