WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1922.
The Lawrence Railway Company is going to spend $50,000 on improvements within the next year, it is sarc. It ought not be a hard job to discover where the improvements ought to be made, but where to start in presents quite a purse.
OUR SHARE
"I am enclosing thirty dollars which your father gave me for a birthday present. Be sure that he will never know it. And do try to economize. We are finding it very hard to meet all our obligations this year."
Does it sound just a bit familiar? Or had you skimmed over that part of the letter? They are finding it hard to not obligations. This year has been one of most rigorous retreatment in the financial world. The adjustments following the war and its abnormality of both cost and production are very slow. Not a man or woman in the business or professional field who has not felt the strain, and only the most conservative and farsighted endeavors have availed disaster. That, in brief, is the situation which is having its very potent effect on education.
But how much of this burden are we sharing? True, quite a number of the students of the University of Kansas are either wholly or partially self-supporting. Yet on the other hand, there are not a few who depend on the allowance from home every month to keep them in school. In a large majority of these cases that allowance cuts a decided hole in the family budget. The loast they can expect in return is something that approximates cooperation.
Perhaps some of us really try to minimize our accounts. But our efforts must seem rather weak if we allow ourselves to measure by the standards set in other years. Business men do not do that. We figure it out something like this. Last year we had three dates a week; this year we will have only two. Last year we threw a formal; this year we will have an informal and a couple of house dances instead. We have hummed and huwed and braiten about the trush all year. We have tried to mobilize our parents and salve our own consciences by a series of alibis that would put Harry K. Thaw to shame. But the truth of the matter is, we haven't even begun to assume our share of the responsibility. And when we are sending our sons and daughters to Kansas in future years we shall realize, perhaps for the first time, what our parents mean by the cost of an education—in dollars and sense!
The other day the United Supreme Court declared the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, better known as the woman's suffrage amendment, legal. It's funny they haven't found that out before. The women have known it for a long time.
HERO WORSHIP
"Great events, great accidents, great adventures, great men we have had enough of these." People are exhausted; they are nounplied; they insist on having an evening to themselves. People no longer have time to idealize a really great man; they are busy with their hand-to-mouth existence, or with adding a few more millions to their income next year.
So the youth is left entirely to choose this hero. He may choose one, from a movie actress to a base ball player, and he usually does choose one of these. Were influences different the young men or young women would choose different heroes, and they would think just as much of them.
But they are left to their own resources and those resources are the movies, newspapers, and their associates. They have a vague idea that their elders made a few halts along the road of knowledge to get a glimpse of Napoleon, Washington, and Lincoln. The youth do not care for even a glimpse.
A ask a youth about Doug Fairbanks,
Mary Pickford, or Babe Ruth. His eyes brighten and his breath does not come fast enough to tell about them. But ask a youth about Balfour, Lloyd George, Clemenaceu or Hugh. What? The majority of them answer with a干支 stare.
Boys and girls are not expected to know a great deal about the men who are considered great at the present time, but their ignorance concerning great men of the past is appalling. An acquaintanceship with the biographies of good and great men is an education in itself. It gives the youth more 'amilitary with life; it stimulates their ambitions.
The stunts old heroes are the ones who should be worshipped. The histories of their deeds have stood the ritification and the wear of time. Time adds more glory to their names, while movie heroes come and go and we forgetmen with the turn of a hand $\mathcal{D}$ the publicity agent.
Great men are born in obscurity and assassinated in public.
DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE?
DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE?
Wonder how many seniors out of a group of twenty-five in this University could answer a few questions about David and Jonathan, Ruth and Banz, Sampson and Dellahan, Queen Eather, Joshua or Solomon, to mention a fewer known characters "Sure," they all speak up and tell us that these are names of Bible characters—and—But there about ninety-nine percent stop.
Of the gripping stories concerning these people of olden times, which contain thrills equal to the best in our modern fiction, their minds contain a nobleous fog with a few unrelated facts about a lot of characters, all confused, have perhaps descended from their childhood reading of Bible stories. The names mentioned above are familiar to everyone that reads, because they form the commonest kind of literary allusion.
But there lies the trouble. To the great majority of university students they are merely names without significance. And the average student's ignorance of the New Testament is even more apapling than his ignorance of the old.
And why should this be? One simple answer is that students never read the Bible. Too many students in the universities, if they think about it at all, have a vague feeling that the Bible is "old stuff" and therefore not as any professor of English will tell you, is inside from all other concerto-worthy of being read. Yet the Bible actions, the greatest piece of literary work in the English or any other language. It has never been excelled for purity of style nor for conciseness of diction. The professors of English would do well to use it in their courses. Perhaps a few do.
The fact remains, however, that a vast number of students are missing something which, taken merely as a matter of education, is necessary to those who wish to call themselves educated. The fundamental fault at the bottom of the whole matter is, probably, that the Bible has never had the proper amount of "press-agency" that it takes to sell anything to this generation.
Down on the farm Pa used to com-driving home at the end of a winter' day with two pair of articles that just naturally tickled little Willek an
Plain Tales from the Hill
Why Are "Goloshes?"
Pa had bought Willie and Hank each a pair of high-top overshirts. Three buckles, or maybe four—pretty cloth tops, and nicely corrugated rubber soles and heels made these casings for the feet much admired by small boys—and larger ones too, for that matter.
So the next morning Willie anne Hank tucked the bottoms of their overalls inside their high-top over-shoes, and went out to stop the hogs and goatlets and do the other chores. Their feet were well protected from the rain and something to make the other kids come at the corner school house.
High-top oversheers were the only name for them as far as Willie and Hank and Pn and the neighbors knew; the storekeeper called them that, Sears and Roebuck of course called them "articles," but everyone knew that was just another name—a fancy one—for oversheers.
Of late, the youthful females of the land have evolved a fad they thought was new—that of wearing "goloshes." But Willie and Hank are big boys now, and when they come to town they wear at all th' derm food being unassisted overloes cannifuged under the name, "goloshes."
Hank was in Lawrence today, and almost made himself sick laughing at the flapping overhouses, he said. "I was not surprised but out of the streets in these new-fangled folies," Hank told a reporter, "'And they remind me of the way our old Holstein cow wobbled and tugged when she rolled over me, then wind-pill down on our west forty.'"
Hank and Willie still maintain the goloshes are nothing more than repectable overshoes gone wrong.
Student Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
It was with surprise that I rea- in Monday's Kansan an announcement that all wagers paid to students on his program reached a maximum of thirty cents an hour for unskilled work with a proportionate reduction for skilled labor.
Perhaps my surprise was greater on account of the fact that the University of Kansas has never been noted for its liberality in paying high wages to working students. The University did not advance wages in the past high wage arn, and with living costs higher than ever here in Law School in the past we were ever small, means in most cases a sharply-felt hardship on students who are working their way through the University.
Of course everybody desires an economical handling of state funds during this critical financial period, but surely thirty years ago an admin would have done it.
I hope that University authorities are not ordering this reduction simply because this seems an easy way to impress legislators, as this proposed reduction in wages may mean the withdrawal of quite a few Uni verity students who are attendi on only through great person saffeness.
Financially Interested.
An announcement in Monday's Kansan to the effect that students' wages are to be reduced to a maximum of thirty cents an hour for unskilled work, and a proportionate reduction for skilled labor, is one which has caused much glabour. We are asking the University students. Statistics given by the Registrar some time ago showed that something over 15 per cent of the students here earn all, or a part of their expenses while in the University. A reduction in wages will materially affect the majority of these. True, all student employees do not work for the University, but undoubtedly work as part of the example set by the authorities here. It is next to impossible for a student to make enough to pay his school expenses, working for thirty cents an hour. According to Tuesday's Kansan, very little help can be expected from the Student Loan Fund, so may I ask what the student to do? Logically, I should like to ask why such a small amount of thirty cents an hour. In most cases students do just as much work in the hour as would a regular employee earning twice the pay, and in practically every case the student works only those hours when he is especially needed and there is work to be done, while with the regular employee, he must be paid for a full day. In many cases I know where students skills are located, and are working right with regular employees and turn out just as much work per hour as the regular
To the Daily Kansan:
men, yet receive only half the pay.
I have talked to a number of students who like it as well and are to make arrangements as they are, and in every case they have said that they would be forced to withdraw from school if wages are reduced to the proposed scale. Coming as it does, after this semester is well under way, it does not seem to matter for withdrawal will mean a loss of all school work for the past few weeks, besides the cost of their books and other expenses. Depending entirely on why they could earn while in school, they had made no arrangements for borrowing funds, and were too late to make such arrangements.
Until student expenses are reduced materially, I feel it is an injustice for school authorities to lower the wages of student employees.

Arbor. A Winter Garnett is staged annually in which these two athletic events predominate. Entries to this meet come from a number of American colleges including Durant, McGill, Middlesbury, and Vernont College.

suit for information in order to meet the highest likely successful drive this week. Over $1,000 has already been sent in N. U. through the Herbert Hoover fund handling European Student Research funds and will total between $2200 and $3300.
The Universities of Oklahoma are Arkansas have co-operated in offering to the high schools and communities of the two states a high grade moving picture film exchange. Films are sent out to schools and communities through the general extension division. The service, it is believed, will give an opportunity for extension of education in localities localities of the states, the proceeds of which can be used towards further educational advancement.
The Colorado Aggie debaters will leave the twenty-fifth of March for a three-week tour of the east where they will engage in a series of fifteen debates with various colleges from Kansas to Penn. State. This is the most extensive trip that the Aggie debates have ever taken and the entire team is enthusiastic over the prospects of the tour.
Thirty graduate fellowships and traveling fellows in Columbia University will be open to residents of the State of Iowa through the establishment of a trust fund by a late resident of Des Moines.
WHICH WAY ARE YOU HEADED? Every teacher moves either forward or toward the Educational scrap heap. Last year the most progressive employers in forty four states and three foreign countries asked us for 7000 PROGRESSIVE teachers to fill positions from Kindergarten to State University. OUR only role is to inform of opportunities ONLY when asked to do so by employees. This is why discriminating employees use OUR SERVICE when they need teachers. It is the only professional way.
