THE ACADEMIC ATMOS
PHERE
Considerable controversy has been aroused in educational circles recently over articles published in newspapers and magazines which stress the importance and value to be gained from working one's way through school. The authors of the articles point out that the student who keeps up his contact with the practical world by earning his way at college avoids the pitfalls of succumbing to the lure of the academic atmosphere.
No young man, it is said, can live four years within the shadow of a great university without becoming, to a percentable degree, academic in his attitude. The old saying that a college man is just as good in business as anybody else "after he gets some sense pounded into his head" is set forth as significant of the fact that college men, by the time they are graduated, lose touch with the practical world and its methods.
Earning one's way through college is recommended as a means of keeping in contact with both the cultural and the business worlds. Students who have earned their own living while in college are always more acceptable to employers because they have had "some sense pounded into their heads" along with their educations.
To the modern educator the distinction made between the academic and the business worlds is an odd one. The twentieth century pedagogy likes to think that he is carrying his work over into the field of business, and no doubt he is; but it is almost inconceivable that the educator can ever surround his students with the atmosphere of commercial life. It also is inconceivable that all of the students in a university can work their way through school.
And yet we do not believe that the scheme of things in this university is such that those students who do not support themselves are at a very serious disadvantage. Spooner library, with its wealth of periodical literature certainly is a mirror to "the other world." Nothing so accurately reflects the complexion of society as the vast number of magazines and newspapers which daily pour into Spooner library. The students who would guard against being made the victim of this academic atmosphere,

THE CONCERT COURSE
The student who is accepting an adequate monthly allowance from home should not feel that the money is a barrier in his way to success, but should realize that it is giving him an opportunity to get more of what the university and the outside world has to offer. For the time has passed when the University of Kansas gives its students only the bare requisites of a college degree; the whole universe has been virtually boiled down and reflected in the easily accessible shelves of its libraries.
In spite of the increased expense attached to securing high grade talent in musical circles, the School of Fine Arts has secured the services of national and internationally known artists for this season's course.
The annual course at the University equals or surpasses any course given in Kansas City, or St. Louis at about half the price. It offers the students of the University and the people of Lawrence an opportunity that should not be neglected. The practicality of the course is recognized by the state in that it gives a nominal sum to help perpetuate it at the University.
This season more American talent appears than is usually the case, American music for American people has been the most unappreciated, but is becoming to be the most popular thing in the last few years. In addition, the course this year affords two orchestral concerts which are difficult and expensive to secure this season.
The season ticket sale is now on, and every one should avail himself of one in that single admissions total a great deal more than the price of

Kansas students support athletics student organizations on the Hill, University dramatics, and student enterprises, and should not overlook the unusual opportunity to gain contact with the outside and the best in music by passing over the series of concerts that will be given this winter.
PRODIGY SCHOOLS
One of newest developments in the movement for ungraded schools is hat which would give special attention to children whose mental age is
higher than their chronological age. Classes which are trying out this new scheme are established in New York and Cleveland, and they have been dubbed "prodigy classes." The idea is to put children who show themselves "smarter than normal" under the direction of a special teacher who is to teach them and carry them along in their class work just as fast as they are able to go. It is the belief of those interested in the project that this will prevent the danger of men
Special classes for backward children are not new and have done pretty well toward justifying their existence, which it is probable the classes for especially bright children will do as well. But there is danger in them quite as amorous to a child's best development as that of mental laziness. It is not only the possibility, but the probability of these bright children being spoiled, of their becoming egotists.
them a much worse start in the world, than to retard their mental activities while in the public schools. The best possibilities of many brilliant minds have been blighted more than once by an ever-dominant ego personality.
Not long ago the George Dahiberger Post of the American Legion in New York spent nearly $1,000 to feed jobless ex-soldiers. The money was an accumulation which had been set aside for a club house. Unhesitatingly, they spent the last cent of their accumulation.
The vision of their club house faded two years further in the distance, yet what they saw should appease their longing for a club house for a long time.
The food, for which the $1,000 was spent, probably put out smoothering fires of anarchy in an equal number of breasts. It inspired the downhearted and strengthened the weak. It made the jobless worker feel more like a patriot and a citizen instead of a social outcast. Not only did it help those individuals who derived a direct benefit, but the news was spread broadcast and the great horde of exservice men all over the United States who were seeking employment read of it and were glad in their hearts to know that fellow sufferers were receiving attention and aid.
American Legion is making warfare on the unemployment crisis. The Legion Employment Bureaus are working night and day to find work for ex-service men or to put them back on the job. With bleak winter coming on and with the unemployment situation growing more acute each day, the Legion has no small task to
perform, but the department posts are going after the task in a creditable manner.
