INTER-SCHOOL CREDIT
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1921.
"It'll take me five years to graduate. You know I lost twelve hours credit when I changed schools"—such is the tale of woe of hundreds of students in colleges and universities every year.
In one school they give credit for a certain phase of art work,—in another they do not. At a stone college is given for agriculture, while in another it's not counted.
It is universally true that in every college there is a certain percentage of students looking for snap-courses, they do not have the initiative to grasp the mysteries of Mathematics, Latin, and Chemistry. So in order to provide for them the college puts in the curriculum some courses that take little application.
Then they go to a University to finish up and find to their sorrow that all their soap courses count for naught.
What is needed to put an end to all these difficulties is an inter-school credit system.
THE NIGHT SCHOOL
"A will to acquire knowledge is all that is necessary today," any prominent educator. No one need have special opportunity to learn in this day and age of advancement. There are schools of every kind, size, and standing on every hand, prepared and waiting for students to come in search of knowledge. They will serve it to him in any form, and under any conditions.
Of old, only the sons of the wealthy class and of the nobility were allowed to gather round the traveling sage to hear his lectures on philosophy, astrology, and higher mathematics. This class, and this class alone ruled the universe.
As time advanced the daughters of the nobility were allowed some education, and later the schools gradually allowed the middle classes to enjoy those their privileges until now not only every one is permitted to go to school, but every one up to the age of fourteen is obliged to attend.
But even at this, fourteen years is very young to drop all formal education, and become a part of the industrial machinery of the country—but many a lad has been compelled to do this very thing. Some years ago it was a very common occurrence to hear this: "I didn't have a chance to go to school. I had to work and help support the family." But today we have something by which we can eliminate such statements. It is the night school.
"Five years from now," says I. B. Morgan, director of night school in Kansas City, Kansas, "such an excuse will be considered ridiculous." The night school makes it possible for the day laborer to get an efficient training in a formal educational way, and work at the same time. He may get culture as well as grind.
The night schools are usually free. The curriculum is varied, and the instructors are among the most efficient to be found.
The general public fails to attach enough importance, and gives too little support to the night school. It is to the unscholmed laborer, as a rope to a drowning man, the means by which he may make it possible for himself to really live, and to enjoy life.
SIMPLIFIED SPELLING
The founders of simplified spelling have deserved their institution, and the vestiges of it which still remain in general use will doubtless be blotted out in the near future.
The Modern Language Association, a national organization of all teachers of Modern Languages in the United States, at their last meeting voted to return to the old form of spelling.
Prof. R. D. O'Leary of the English department, who is a member of the Association, says he thinks the war has been the chief cause of the failure of the movement.
"People were too busy with other things to think about a change in English spelling, so they paid no attention to it. Because it was not adopted and put to use the Association thought it a failure and they have returned to the old form of spelling," said Professor O'Leary.
The Modern Language Association was founded in 1908. It was the outgrowth of the urgent appeals for simplified spelling made by ex-president Rosevelt during his administration. The Association has as its members instructors in German, French, Spanish, Italian, but by far the majority of its supporters are instructors in English. Very nearly all of the instructors in any of these departments, which have been employed for any length of time by the University of Kansas, are members of this Association.
The Association members never used simplified spelling in the text books or articles which they wrote for publication. But all notices of meetings, the magazine publication which they put out, or any literature connected in any way with the Association or its members, were written in simplified spelling.
The simplified forms which they used were very radical. Some examples are "oov" for "of", "soo" for "show", "butiful" for "beautiful".
The most common uses of simplified spelling today are "thru, that and the." These have a general use in the newspapers. Few high class magazines print these words in their "cut down" form. Instructors in English, as a general rule, require all words spelled out.
The next generation of men and women will not see simplified spelling in books and magazines which they read, and they will be lead away from it in the schools. So we are safe to say that simplified spelling must go.
Plain Tales from the Hill
We would like to inquire if the women ever tried any other brand of tea besides W. S. G. A. tea.
The young writers who are contributing to the Sour Owl must think the editor is aspiring to the editorship of the "La Vie Parisian."
An education is not like a ham sandwich. A person might be able to wear one or cut one but he can't wrap it and wrapped it up or put up in a sock.
Gordon Saunders made a house to house campaigns on the piano.
The hummaddens took the count from the blow received from the Merchants' Journal, Topoka. However, we didn't suppose that there was any restaurant in Topeka which could boast of a big enough store house in connection to feed 700 noble sons of Kansas.
