COME AGAIN
We are glad you have been with us the past week, Merchants of Kansas. It has been a pleasure to have you among us, to meet you and have you know the University of Kansas.
And we hope that you may be taking away with you, your share of new ideas and plans gained in attending the Short Course. But that has not been your only gain. It has been a week of rest for you. It has taken you away from the everyday humdum of business life and given you a new spirit of fellowship. And we hope that this fellowship will go back home with you, and be an aid to you in making your business a greater success, in whatever line you may be engaged.
Moreover, we hope that you may be taking away with you a liking for the University, for the Chancellor, and for the faculty and students. If you have gained such a liking, tell the folks at home about us, about the University, about Mount Oread. If we have failed to accomplish such tell us how we may improve our school and our student life.
Ther is but one thing we would ask of you. That is, Come Again. When the Merchants' Short Course rolls around next year, pack up your troubles and take the first train for Lawrence. Also, bring your fellow merchants with you. Nothing would make us know better how well pleased you have been with K. U. than to see you back next year.
Just, Come Again.
THE MEDILL SCHOOL
The opening this week of the Joseph Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University marks another advance in journalistic education. In the near past, schools of journalism have been looked upon as incredible by those who were successful in the field. But today, the attitude of the greatest writers have accepted the institution as a practical preliminary for the young man or woman who expects to make journalism his life work.
The Joseph Medil School is the latest of its kind to be established. The attempts of its founders have been to make it a school of the most practical work, with the Chicago Field as a laboratory. It has also provided for a higher degree for those who care to go farther than the ordinary college course. The establishment of the new school has been watched with great interest by newspaper workers and writers throughout the country. Its success will mean a still greater step for ward for practical journalism work in all the institutions of the country. Along with the interest of those in ne-
tive work, the Medill School has held the attention of other schools of journalism, and it has been a welcomed movement on the part of these sister schools.
It may be expected that the future will find more and better schools of journalism in all the larger and better institutions, with a larger and more efficient work to play as a part of college education.
THE AIR MAIL
Al-mail service in the United States is a problem that has attained much consideration lately, and although it has been decreed successful in a majority of cases, it now faces the danger of utter destruction. Unless an appropriation of $1,250,000 is made by Congress the service will be eliminated. Already the House of Representatives has rejected it.
The air-mail service was started in May, 1918, and is now in operation between New York, Cleveland, Washington, Chicago, Omaha, Cheyenne, Salt Lake City and San Francisco, and contracts have been let for further extension.
The opposition claims that the air-service is much more expensive than rail service. It is pointed out that it costs seven cents a ton-mile to carry mail by rail and the post-of-law authorities admit it costs approximately five dollars a ton-mile by air-service. The only justification given is the fact that air-service may be of value from a military standpoint.
Prominent newspapers and eminent men have rallied to the aid of the air-mail service by giving it their strong approval and support. The fact that it is a time saving and efficient service constitutes their argument. Also, as prominent army men have pointed out, it will afford constant practice in aviation work, and since the army appropriations do not provide for the development of army air service, the best way to keep the nation in trim from an aerial standpoint is through the air-mail service. Past events have made it apparent that the air-mail service is merely waiting a decision concerning its existence. Statistics show that a hundred million letters were carried by air-mail last year, at a saving on the Washington-New York route of $42,000 and the New York-Chicago route of more than $160,000 beside
one saving in time. Such a record seems to justify the existence and worth of the air-mail, and to prove that its abolition would be a mistake.
THE BEE AND THE STAMP
More pertinent to university students today than the moral tale of the fox and grapes is the contrast between the been and the postage stamp
between the teeth and the mouth.
The bee is the unreliable fellow,
traveling from flower to flower, stealing
the sweetness of each. The postage
stamp, although a very prous
object is of more practical value to
man, because it sticks to one thing
until it "gets there."
Among university students there are, figuratively, both bees and postag stamps. As often as enrollment time comes around, the bee changes from one school to another. He changes readily because he believes himself to be mistaken as to the value of the course he had last semester, or because he is lax, but more frequently because of the desire to move on. Such students do little good either for themselves or the schools in which they are enrolled. They lower the standards of the other students and lengthen the time required to finish their college education.
The University would profit much if the peaks bee would move on to more fertile fields and the "stamps" that come hereafter would show evidence of more "stick-to-liveness."
The postage stamp, on the other hand, is that unwashery student whose interest glues him to his chosen work throughout his college years and generally, for some years thereafter. And in the activities of the university and the larger citizenship of the nation these latter are the ones who make good.
A student society under the myserious name of "White Elephant" has been organized at Tulane University, New Orleans, for the purpose of promoting school spirit among all the classes.
All those who attended convocation Thursday remember what a splendid response the students made to the Chancellor's question as to whether they are in earnest in regard to the student representatives, most recently passed recently by the student representatives. No one who heard the Chancellor talk believes that he was talking for the fun of it. He was in earnest and so were the great majority of students who pleaded themselves that these reforms are carried out.
Editor. Daily Kansan:
Campus Opinions
However, if our distinguished visitor had passed the steps of the law building a short time after the convocation, he would have seen a number of those who solemnly promised, including the ones in the last section, smoking cigarettes in direct contradiction of the pledge made less than an hour before.
This to my mind, is much more serious than the question of cigarettes or dancing. The late war was brought about largely because a mournion report claimed that "the honor of a nun" if Certain University students regard such a promise as a exhortation of atr, if the practice such undisguised hypocrisy as was illustrated in this case, they certainly do not deserve it. The only point of the students. Perhaps there is some truth in a statement made recently, that "we do not need to reform the University, as much as its officers."

With Education Try "Eddyfication"
In this day of social unrest a big man's opinion will clear up many questions—
Sherwood Eddy
Is qualified to do this because
He has made a special study of social and industrial problems in Europe during the present unrest. Studied labor problems in England during the coal strike. Sat in the Trade Union Congress meeting the principal labor leaders, employers and young intellectuals of England.
Mr. Eddy brings a message concerning the present industrial crisis in Europe, and a possible solution for America's industrial problems and the basis of a new social order.
Few men of our time have had such opportunity to study industrial problems in Europe, Asia and America.
