WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1921 STUDENT DAY FAILURE Mexico is restive again.—Headline Or getting back to normalcy, as it were. Many complaints are heard from students in regard to the management of certain courses and departments in the university but none have come in a way in which they might have proved a means of improving conditions by suggesting remedies. Last Monday was Students' Day. It was the privilege and duty of the students to bring up complaints, to discuss real shortcomings of any system now in use in the University and to suggest a remedy. It was not utilized. It was a day wasted; the purpose for which the event was intended and the use to which it might have been put were not realized by any of those taking part in the convaction. It is not a day or an event which should be given over to alighting personalities or petty witticisms. Persons attending the meeting Monday in the hope of hearing something worth while or of receiving constructive advice in the matter of drawing the faculty and students closer together, were saddly disappointed. Faculty members who went with the hope of hearing something that would help them in determining the management of their various departments or some ways of adding anything to their courses that would be of value, were disappointed. In fact, few people can point to a single feature of the program or argument of the speakers which can possibly do good to the university. It is not only the fact that the event was a failure in itself that counts. It used very precious time at a time of the year when the classwork is most valuable. Student day was not installed as a time when carefully prepared burlesques on faculty and departments were to be held. Unless it is put to a more profitable use in the future, it can only be classed as a detiment to the school and treated as such. PORTO RICO The questions of independence for the Philippines and for Porto Rico are invariably bound up together although the agreement was for a payment of twenty million to Spain by the protocol which ceded Porto Rico August 12, 1898 and following which the flag was raised on the islands in October of the same year. The appointment of M. E.R. Mont莉 of Kansas City, Mo. as governor of the island to succeed Governor Yager will give the people in this section more interest perhaps in the affairs of the island, which although nominally part of the same country is almost as wholly unknown, as are most foreign countries. The chief agricultural exports of Porto Rico amount to over $20,000,000 annually; and in addition to its great fertility the island is rich in mineral deposits that more than double its significance commercially. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN American standards of government are being rapidly adopted. Prohibition election carried the island July 16, 1917, to be effective on March 3, 1918, by a 38,000 majority. The island in common with other countries speaking the Latin tongue holds forth great promise to American business of the future. Goods from America and up-to-date macadamized roads and over 5,000 licensed automobiles already characterize the tendencies of the possession. TAFT ON ART Chieest and most wholly satisfying of the salient points brought out by Lorado Taft in his lecture in Robinson gymnasium last week, was the one emphasized in defining the status and value of art to the human race and to progress. Art, and beauty expressed through creative and emotional art, is the one means by which human beings have, through the ages, expressed most truly their sense of the relations of man to the great unknown mysteries of life and time, said Mr. Taft. In other words, art has been for the human race the one vehicle by which it has 'expressed, indelibly and with absolute sincerity, its feeble but nevertheless fundamental grasp of the great purposes of life and of progress. This one point alone in Mr. Taft's lecture made it wore while. lecture made it worth while. But there were several other important ideas advanced by the sculptor which deserve thoughtful consideration. Probably the best of these was included in the speaker's plea for the infingement of more art and beauty into the public life of our American cities and towns. it is the cultured and educated among the peoples of our cities and towns who must initiate and push to completion all plans for public works which justify their existence not as more economic utilities but as advocates of higher aesthetic standards. Mr. Taft could not have made his plea to a more representative and appropriate body of Kansans than were present at the Convocation. The question is—will K. U. students respond to such stimuli when they leave the Hill and go out to communities all over the state? They all above others, should. For of what use, after all, is education, and an understanding of the finer things of life, if it is not to promote all projects which tend to further popularize appreciation of those "finer things?" SYMPATHY TO WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE. The court of boylevir is silent tonight. The merry whistle of Piggy Pennington, king of Boyleville, does not break the silence of the village streets, for Mary, sixteen-year-old daughter of William Allen White is dead. Into the life of the Emporia editor and his wife there has come a great sorrow. On the University campus the students are saddened by the loss that has come to the great Kansan. As Kansans, they have learned to respect and admire William Allen White for his keen understanding of life, for his patriotism, and for his record as a state citizen. Through respect for the man and love of his writings has grown a love that embraces the family. so we, too, feel the loss of the little daughter, who died in the springtime of life. It is beyond our power to erase the sorrow that has come to her family, but to them we extend our sincere sympathies. A university in southern California, nai boats that they have 200 to 300 for outer varsity track. We're wondering how many they have out for footwear. Mental tests for probation students are held in the University of Michigan. About 50 students are required to take the test this spring. According to one of the professors in the department, most of the tests last fall were as infactory enough to warrant a continuation of the experiment. Joe Faulcner, c'24, visited friends in Manhattan, Sunday. THE ROUND-UP Poem by Edwin Markham --Commencement Day Speaker Down, down the wild canyons we go in hurry: Gone into the west with the phantom a hurry; The cedars sweep by in their mystical Gone into the west with the phanton moon. worry— Gone into the west with the phanton of there is the lord of the hills and the vallea; it is he that leads in the midsummer *nallies* High into the steeps where the gray chaparral is; sallies High into the steeps where the gray Where the wild mustard splashes the **enaparthi** 'is; It is he that leads to the low lagoon.

On into the gloom under leafy roofs Oh, the joy of the wind in our faces We follow the beep, plump rushes. (A loud bird high on a tamarack A loud bird high on a tamarack hushes) The cattle—we shout down the poppy-hung hollow. Lo! out of the cliff we have startled a eawallow. And startled the echoes on rocky fella, Ho! what was it passed? Were they Now the hard takes down through the scented dells hot whispered away like a hurts of erosion. Speed, speed, leave the brooks to their potter and prattle: Sweep on with the thunder and surge of the cattle, he hurry, the voices, the keen joy of battle— Now on into camp by the sycamores yonder; The hills and the wind and the open light. ae rose-odor thicken—the deep gorge narrows; Now, in gentle light the bright fingers wander. Let little bumps in the ophthalmus grow. Let thoughts in the nigh hearts grow pensive and fonder. Now 'oer the guitar let the light fingers wander Then stars and the dream of a summer night.
