The Daily Kansas sims to picture the undergraduate students to go for a journey than merely printing the news. Understandably, he holds; to play no favorites; to be clear; to be cheerful; to be careful; to have more serious problems to solve before heads are knocked off the students of the University.

THE LITTLE HEALTH BOND
THE LITTLE HEALTH BOND
The LIBERTY Bond was a means to help win the war. To every a new bond presents itself f. to every student in the University, and every citizen in the state. It is the Public Health Bond, in the form of the little Christmas Scal. Its noun might well be "Save a Life or Two," for its purpose is to stamp out the deadly disease, tuberculosis, in our state and nation.
The books which help you most are those which make you think the most. —Theodore Parker.
The meaning of this little Health Bond is clearly evident. With the returns from Christmas seals during the past seven years, the loss of life by tuberculosis has been reduced 13.3 per cent in Kansas. Corresponding results have been maintained throughout the entire nation. It is an individual safeguard.
Moreover, the task is just begun. For tuberculosis claims more lives in our nation each year than any cause on record. It kills 150,000 per person in the United States each year. Its victims are those of the most productive years, men and women between the ages of sixteen and forty-five. Further, this disease annually takes the lives of 12,000 children, being crippled many more. During the period United States was actively engaged in the war, Uncle Sam lost 67,000 soldiers, sailors, and marines. In that same period (a little more than a year), tuberculosis killed 200,000 persons, right here at home. It is estimated that this disease causes an annual economic waste of at least $500,000,000.
From this evidence, does not such a menace deserve the attention of every local citizen? Wither you are healthy or not, you are never immune from this widespread pestilence. Moreover, it is curable. And that is the task undertaken by the little Health Bond—no little task, indoed—which every student will have a chance to buy this week. The little Bond is an individual, as well as a sizable investment.
Could there be a better greeting for every friend you possess, than that which carries the little Health Bond carries—"Merry Christmas HEALTH and a Happy New Year?" Will you "Save a Life or Two?"
A DIRECT PLEA
Is it lack of royalty or the utter doarth of initiative? More than half at the counties of the state, which have representation at K. U., have not yet responded to the call for "up-and-going" county clubs. Those which have already organized are filled with genuine enthusiasm as to the many methods for boosting the University in the home precincts.
Perhaps you are from a county that has not yet "come across." GET 3 BUSY!
AN EARLIER DIRECTORY
The management of the student directory should be added to the University's list of elective offices. The manager should be elected in the spring of the year previous to the one in which he assumes his duties, and should issue the book in co-operation with the Student Council.
The innovation seems to the Kansan the best way out of the annual uncertainty as to the directory. The book is a necessity in all organized work on the hill and a great convenience to every individual. It came out reasonably early this year, although delayed beyond the expectation of the Student Council, which had charge of the publication. And due to unexpected complications, there will be a deficit, according to the manager.
The state printer sometimes assists in getting up the book, and in several years before this delay has been occasioned by waiting on him as well as deciding whether he or a firm of printers should have the "job." In recent years, no two directories have been printed under the same circumstances, and this has occasioned not a little inconvenience.
To be most efficient, a directory should appear early in the fall. A manager elected in the spring could sign his printing contract at that time, allowing him to put his energy in the fall into the work of compiling the book. The lists of names from the registrar's office this year were turned over to the management about the middle of October. It might not be possible to obtain the lists any earlier, but the book might well appear much before December 1.
In these days of audited accounts, such student management tars are carried on successfully with no waste of funds. Opportunity for service and experience would induce several individuals to become candidates for position at the spring election. But the principal advantage would be easier director issued on time.
BOY, PAGE PROFESSOR
BROWN
Press dispatches last week carry, only brief mention of the arrangement of modern colleges made at a teachers' conference in Chicago by Prof. E. W. B. Brown of Carleton College, but his remarks seem to be attracting wide attention. The New York Harold gave nearly a column to the speech, and from the context it may be gathered that approximately half of his remarks are founded or false premises, at least insofar as they apply to a school like the University of Kansas.
For instance, Professor Brown be-
does part of his speech to the pub-
licity departments of modern col-
leges.
Someone should take the trouble to send Professor Brown copies of the publicity matter sent out by the University of Kansas this year. Of course a large part of the newspaper publicity has dealt with athletics, as there has been plenty of real news to send out. But the four issues of the Kansas News Letter, the University's official public organ, have been filled with vital facts regarding the purposes for which a University exists and other highly important factors.
The K. U. student publications would also effectually refute the northerner's assertion. The University has a student publication, the Kanass Engineer, of as technical a nature as the average professional Journal. Other student publications are devoted to various interests and show a high development of ability in lines of creative writing as well as other fields.
“If the advertising methods of the average college were pursued by a mail order house the latter could be sued for obtaining money under false pretenses,” he says. “In their advertisement literature that goes out in the form of undergraduate publications has just as bad an effect. The reader obtains from it an idea of social pleasures and of fraternity activities. Here, too, athletics is given the most prominence.”
THE SCARECROW WOMAN
of Brentano's, New York
By Permission
SouthernBaltimore JAM, ENGLISH Poor Scarlet Woman, worn and
No limb but what is hung askew,
No joint but what the bone shines
through.
Unhymed as yet by any hard—
who is in danger now
Broken by need and greed and lust;
With shambling foot and flattened
bust;
Removed from beauty or the saints.
You are the thing no artist paints
What brought you down so low as this
From all that men feign woman is,
What hidden shame or dreadful chance
From all that men reign would be
What hidden shame or dreadful chance
From all that poets deem romance?
What brought you down so low as this
you now, even women, is
o shall not go unaware to death
With rhetory eyes and wheez;
with breath—
A Message to sing.
Yet, whether born, or brought to be,
This crawling thing of misery.
Professor Brown should spend a little time studying what the University of Kansas has to offer in the fields he mentions. Then perhaps he will feel more optimistic.
An Egyptian O. Hear.
crow thing?
Something like a record reach for the long arm of coincidence is discernible in the recent announcement of a French archaeologist. For he reports having dephurped an ancient papyrus, four mounds of his excavation work in Egypt, in which not only the theme of a tale, but the general drift of its plot is striking similar to one of O. Henry's stories. As no other known papyrus indicates, the discovered tale is intended to exist, the French investigator believes that it is impossible that O. Henry should have become acquainted with the original. In any case, the owners of the O. Henry copyrights need not have been concerned with the inability of involvement in action consequent upon the Frenchman's discovery—Christian Science Monitor.
The women of the southern United States are quickly finding a place in the professional and industrial world, according to the results of a recent questionnaire sent out by the Louisiana Federation of Women in Louisiana Professional Women. In Louisiana they belonged to this federation, with a combined membership of nearly 15,000 women, all engaged in earning their own livelihood in some business or profession. That these women of the south are just about as independent and progressive as their northern sisters seems to be. These women have professions and professions, and the varied undertakings in which they are engaged.
This banale question has its equivalent in each language, but the formula is modified in translation. Thus:
In New Orleans alone 63 professions are represented in the federation membership. The Shreveport Business and Professional Women's Club, reports 3000 women in business and professionals, out of a population of about 100,000, with 39 different professions and industries represented. Among these are tractor, truck driver, mobile卖腮 woman, concert artists, nurses, owners of business schools, whose principals are also, women, and two florists.
In Louisiana, one learns from the questionnaire, there are nine women editors, seven of them heads of daily newspapers and two of weeklies. One of these has served as president of the Louisiana State Press Association whom 20 are now in New Orleans. New Roads has two bank bankers; Cofax two, and Munroe one—Christian Science Monitor.
