THE U. S. NAVY
It is indeed difficult to attempt to analyze the attitude of the new administration toward the future navy of the United States. Secretary Deny, before he had become head of the department of the Navy, declared himself to be in favor of a mary seven to none on the globe, and recommended a hugh naval building program to start immediately.
Scarcely had he taken this definite stand before a Republican congress voted down the naval appropriation bill of modest proportions that had beep pending throughout the last session, thus showing that the legislative bodies of the land were not in favor of naval expansion or had not yet made up their minds on the question sufficiently to pass upon it.
At practically the same time, President Harding showed through the policies that he outlined that he was in favor of disarmament. This does not mean necessarily that he intends to reduce the size of the navy if he can be instrumental in doing so, but it is certainly prohibitive of the navy that Secretary Denby would float under the American flag.
in the last few weeks of political activity, the proposed naval conference between England, Japan, and the United States has faded into the background, temporarily or permanently, although the English press has shown that the English people are much in favor of a meeting of delegates of the three naval powers of the world to draw up an agreement to limit the size of the navies of these three powers, and thus prevent an endless competition between them in an endeavor to gain the supremacy of the sea.
It is sincerely to be hoped that, if the United States does not wish to meet these nations on this proposal, she will at least trust in the potency of her present adequate navy and not indulge in an extensive building program that will involve her sooner or later in a fierce competition with every other nation that aspires to be mistress of the sea.
SMALL TALK
Should the University of Kansas include a Department of Social Ease in its curriculum? Robert A. Simon, in the New York Evening Post, declares that future universities will include such a Department. He gives as his authority, a statement of a professor in John Hopkins University that "instruction in small talk would be more interesting and serviceable than the dull routine of rhetoric courses."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Someone has suggested that rhetoric be replaced by a course called "Small Talk," which should be required of every Freshman. The course might include a detailed study of ice-breaking, and also take up the development of
modern chit-chat, More advanced courses in the department might be "Elementary Repartee," "Primary Satic," and "The Principles of Punning."
A course in mathematics may also be offered, with the Sour Owl as a text, and a course in "Joking, History and Practice," might be useful if based on the plain tales column of the Daily Kanstan. It is suggested by students interested in the establishment of such a department in the university, that those desiring to enroll in any of the courses outlined, petition the faculty at once in order to secure prompt action.
EDUCATION A SCIENCE
Scientific investigation of education for the purpose of establishing an educational system on a more firm and tangible basis is soon to be undertaken by the National Education Association. Like all forms of human activity, education must become more specialized if it is to keep pace with the progress of modern achievement.
The present system of education sets an individual out on a course of study with few principles on which to base a balanced choice of subjects to follow.
The study of educational problems on a basis comparable with that of research foundations devoted to science, engineering, or medicine will throw much more light on the educational problems of today.
The very fact that such steps are being taken is a portent that education of the future will be raised on a much higher plane. The slip-shod and uncertain methods of today certainly warrant such measures. It will awaken a new era in the educational world and establish it far above the level of present day standard.
SCIENCE VS. BABIES
Science has said the word, and babies will have to shift for themselves; that is, the babies that haven't arrived yet. For we have it on the word of Dr. James Ewing, professor of pathology at Cornell University Medical College, in an address before the annual congress of medical education, that "it is essential that the young medical student who hopes to become an expert pathologist, for example, be single, and remain single during his years of study and research.
"This means," he stated further, "that he cannot marry before he is thirty-five years old."
At the same meeting, Dr. Louise B. Wilson of Rochester, Minnesota, said, "Ambition and a squailing baby don't mix." That's all right. But how did it come to that?
the hall carpet' b the it.
The ballroom is the best you?
In a—whole hall full of gray-breasted scientists declaring war on our future citizens.
And then that talk about walking the floor at night. It's a wonder that Dr. Wilson didn't have the poor, disillusioned man step on a tack.
"Ambition and a squalling baby don't mix." That's all right, ut how about ambition and a cooling, laughing, little ray-of-sunshine baby? Is he going to interfere with a man's ambition? Rot.
It has been said, and investigation will bear the statement out, that a man's ambition increases at least twofold after he gets married. Furthermore, we can't see that marriage and a baby or two have taken the ambition out of Edison, for instance.

Mental Lapses
"Why do you turn out for every road hoad that comes along?" said the misuse, rather crossly. "The right of way is ours. isn't it?"
Old Settler—No, the people of Minneapolis are not what they used to be. New Settler—No, they used to be children. Foolscap.
"Oh, undoubtedly," answered he, calmly. "As for our turning out, the reason is plaintly suggested in this paper; it appeared in a newspaper recently:
He was right, dead right, as he sped along.
"Here lies the body of William Jay, Who died maintaining his right of way:
But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong."—Boston Transcript.
He—"You know I love you; will you marry me?"
She—"But, my dear boy, I refused you only a week ago."
He—"Oh, was that you?"—London Opinion.
"Father, I need a new riding habit."
"Can't afford it," he growled.
"Get the walking habit."—Boston transcript.
"But, father, what am I to do without a riding habit?"
The jury got graver and graver. It seemed as if nothing could save her.
"Darling, I've made up my mind to stay at home."
And so she was given a waiver.— Lampoon.
But she started in raving, "My fraises need waving."
You may问你 know what wind it is; but do you? You are probably too well acquainted with gusts, gales and blizzards. But a steady wind week after week blowing at 70 to 80 miles would be willing to call "some wind."
"Too late, George—I've made up my face to go out."—The Bulletin (Sydney).
Go to the cliffs back of the Honolulu—native calls them the Jali—approach unsuspectingly up along the protected road winding among bamboo thickets and banana groves until you reach a few paces, hold your hat, and try to struggle on. Why, there was only a delightful breeze back there below! A vast funnel formed by the sloping, inbending palisades finds exit here in a break in the wall. The road leads you to a niche at the end of the street where you eyes open against the wind a few moments at a time, you overlook one of the finest panoramas in the world. At your feet a foliaged drop of hundreds of yards ends at last in a wide expanse of pineapple fields; rich brown soil, geometrically arranged, as far to left and right as you can see. In a huge, far-down below crescent the plantations end at the serrated edge of the blue Pacific. Eastward in limitless past, a sprinkling of tiny islets, the blue fades from naship to beyri and then from beyri to cloudless sky takes the hazy theme—Christian Science Monitor.
A GATE OF THE WINDS

But now, I must confess,
he more I know I know I know,
I know I know the less—Judge.
Roy Artman, c'23. will spend the week end in Denison.
I wouldn't tip the beam at eighty eight!
Is not attained without a little weight!
I would be plump! A pleasing pulchri- tude
I share P. Schlemihl's fell and awful fate
Indeed I am so thin, however viewed—
Let sylph be in the mode or out of
date—
But O the bitterness, the scalding tear
So stingily with flesh am I endued.
And by no friendly shadow am pur sued.
When some stout rival standing nea enough
isn't that I miss the silly stuff
Wherewith the wooper animates his
part;
