What a sense of security in an old book which Time has criticised for us—Lowell.
HOW K. U. MINERS MADE HISTORY
A year ago last night the first detachment of K. U. volunteers miners departed for the Pittsburgh "front." For three weeks these men, and others who came to reinforce the first "labor battalion," inured onesically in the mud and slush, lived in tents at the strip pit, and produced more coal than any other group of civilian miners on the scene. All this in order that teh women and child ren of the state might not suffer during the miner's strike.
Now, on the very anniversary of the aperture fr Pittzburg, comes a report from Topoka that the coal production for 1920 may go beyond the record of 1918, the biggest year, when seven million tons were loaded. Labor troubles in 1919 made that year's record one of the smallest for a long period but 1929 will make up for it by an unusually large figure.
The increased production may well be accepted as a direct testimonial to what Kansas men helped accomplish a year ago Had it not been for volunteer labor, inforced by the National Guard, which effectually prevented violence, the strike would not have come to the early end it did, and there would have undoubtedly been widespread suffering as a result of the season chosen by the miners for their strike.
And had the strike not come to its early end, Governor Allen, who was responsible for the volunteer labor idea from the start, would never have been able to put through his industrial court program. The industrial court has been hailed as a labor pancake, and many other states have adopted similar programs.
The miners have benefitted from the industrial court, despite their strong sentiment to the contrary and their opposition to Governor Allen in the fall election. The increased output of coal this year testifies to this. Cre of the principal complaints of the miners against the operators at the special session of the legislature last winter was the fact that the operation of the mines was irregular and production was slackened or accelerated according to the demand for coal. That work this year has been regular is attested by the increased production mentioned in Mondays report.
KANSAS TOES THE MARK
The new type of college presiden-
is discussed in an article, "Our New College Presidents," by Dr. Frank Pierrepont Graves in the supplement to the November issue of the Educational Review. Dr. Graves aims up
hia observations as follows:
"We may tentatively say for the benefit of novelties and other people who live by imagination, that the college president of the next epoch may be pictured as born and primarily educated in Massachusetts or a Middle Western state, though obtaining some graduate work elsewhere, a man in the late forties or early fifty, six feet in height, weighing about one hundred and eighty, and with darkish hair, properly grazing or thinning at the temples, and as energetic, aggressive, and characterful in appearance."
How close Chancellor Lindley approaches this type. He was born and primarily educated in Indiana, a Middle Western state. He is neither younger nor older than the state age. He is six feet in height, weighs less than one hundred and eighty, and his hair is already gray. But we are compelled to say this part of the description fits him exactly: "energetic, aggressive, and characterful in appearance."
THE LEAGUE AND HUMAN NATURE
Cliques are being formed in the League of Nations. This is just another way of saying that the nations involved are already viewing each other with suspicion, and that they are banding together for the purpose of excreting their influence through a central control of votes.
The League's votes are being sought as in any other political gathering, and it would be foolish to suppose otherwise than that the League employed.
of give and take is being employed.
These alliances within the League are just as vital to the nations making them as were the alliances made between nations before the League was formed. And they amount, in the last analysis, to the same thing. For mutual gain certain countries stand together.
"You stay by me and I will stay by you. You vote with me on this and I will support you in that." Those are the things, in effect, which the natives over there in Switzerland are saying to one another.
On Other Hills
Stanford University was granted a charter to the American Journalists Association last spring and the organization is already strong and permanently settled. The Stanford pub was successful one.
The system of examination for which Harvard has worked for years has at last been adopted by the authorities of that university.
The new system was started in one division of the university, that of history and economics. This department adopted the requirement that every man concentrate on one subject; this division should take a general examination in the whole field before the conclusion of his senior year.
With the completion of the second preliminary count of enrollment just made b by Registrar A. G. Hall at the University of Michigan, definite and accurate information shows a total of 1 students on the c campa November 1.
The total enrollment, including extension classes, nurses' training classes and summer session after November 1 reaches 10,758. As previously estimated the proportion practically 8 to 1, while in the literary school the proportion is 3 to 1, with the total of 1,674 women on the campus.
The curriculum will include courses n study of soils, stock breeding, and he raising of sugar cane. There will be a course in the laboratory station, and a branch for research.
Gov. John M. Parker of Louisiana estimates that $12,000,000 will be given to the new Agricultural College of Louisiana State University with the revenue from the severance tax. The student body will do much of the construction, and will be paid full wages or the work.

FACTS FOR FRESHMEN
A hand-book issued by the Y. M. C. A. at the University of Michigan for the use of new students carries the above title over its introduction, and a pungent, straight-forward introduction it is too. Many of the facts will apply to upper-classmen as well, and the Kansan is reprinting the following passages in the hope that they will be read with interest and benefit by both freshman and older students.
Contrary to the opinions of some people, the landlady has a few natural rights. In spite of the interesting fact that you have now come to live with them, she and her family may indulge the hope that you will consent to let them live there too.
Decide that you will treat your landlady and her house as you would want her son to treat your mother and her house. Assume this attitude and you will not get into any unpleasant row. And whenever you break faith with your own sense of decency to the extent of doing some "roughneck" stump that injures her feelings or her furniture, try to think of yourself as exactly as you would think of her son if he had behaved himself in that manner in your own house.
Confidentially—if you wish to become the household pet, your table graced with a vase of garden flowers, plenty of fresh towels on the rack, and an occasional section of pumpkin pie on your desk, give your landlady to understand that you intend to keep the peace and live like a gentleman. Inversely; if you would be treated like a many mongrel, and regarded as a cross between a nuisance and a menace, with no flowers, no pie, rugged towels and few of them—polish your shoes on the curtains, prime your pen on the rug, round the plaster on the wall, scatter ashes all over the place, and strum your mandolin at 1:30 a.m.
Formally, you were told when to get up in the morning and when to go to bed at night. Here nobody cares when you get up. Nobody cares when or whether you go to bed.
It is customary for your high school teacher to say to you occasionally, "Jimmie, you are slipping in algebra. Better mind your step!" Nobody says that to you here. You may slip, and fall, and there will not be a hint that anybody knows about it until you are notified that you are "busted."
Now this does not mean that your Alma Mater is cold-blooded, and doesn't care what happens to you. This is part of your college training. One of the important values of higher education is to test out your character to see if you are enough to stand in your own feet.
It is natural that your family at home should be anxious to hear from you. In your rush of events, do not forget to write them.
It is just possible that your mother
...
...
not may be fully conversant with the college patio. Better write to her in English until you have been home for the holidays, at which time you can make her a lexicon of slang. Tell her about your room. Tell her what you had to eat for dinner. Make it good enough to assure her that you are not likely to starve to death, but not quite good enough to make her feel you have forgotten the superiority of the menu at home.
If you have exchanged promises with the girl at home, see to it that you fulfill your part of the contract.

If you have not committed yourself to anything definite, don't get mandlin some rainy Sunday afternoon when you are desperately lonely, and write something foolish.
You have entered upon a job that will include matrimony for a long line. Much water will pass under he bridge between now and 1924.
Don't spend too much time at the picture shows. After you have seen the man with the big hat, and the leather pants die a hero about half a dozen times, he has nothing more for you, either in the way of instruction or entertainment.
And if you would keep your mind sufficiently alert to be able to pass a Binet test, don't get to the point where you think it is worth a quarter to see people throwing custard pie into one another's faces. At least not more than once a week.
If you wish to do something for your Alma Mater, get out and qualify for some form of athletics. Don't take all your exercise in the bleachers. If you have it in you to excel on the field it is your duty to present yourself for service.

Being a freshman is not a disgrace You will be ragged and chaffed a little, and subjected to an occasional humiliation. This is only part of your training. Don't be sore over it. You will only bid for more and worse, that way, take your medicine. A thousand years from now, nobody will know how you have suffered.
***
Do not feel slighted if you are not invited to become a member of a fraternity. It is no reflection upon your character, capacity or personality. It may mean nothing more serious than that you did not happen to be acquainted with some alumnus who would suggest to his fraternity that you were entering the University.
There are fraternal and fraternal. Merely because a boarding house waears some Greek letters on the front door does not necessarily mean that it would make an excellent place for you to spend four years. That all depends on the sort of people who live there.
If you are not bidden to a fraternity, don't commit the blunder of bemeaning the fact. Nor should you do yourself the disservice of becoming 'anti-fraut'. Nothing lies in that direction but sufter discontent and unpopularity.
If you are bidden, and accept,
remember that the University is to
come first in your regard, her inter-
ests always taking priority in your
mind above fraternity interests—just
as the United States flag should ever
mean to you more than the colors of
your native state.
At Havana, Cuba, an organized complaint against the worm out currency in circulation has been started by American and Cuban bankers. Except silver, the only medium of exchange is American currency; but it has been changing hands for so long and so often, that it is tattered almost beyond recognition. Health of a public is much that of a public member. Bills that were once green, now are brown and yellow, and the most of them are so frightfully filthy that the Americans refuse to handle them.

What Is Air?
CRC 1894 every chemistry thought he knew what air is. "A mechanical mixture of moisture, nitrogen and oxygen, with traces of hydrogen and carbon dioxide," he would explain. there was so much oxygen and nitrogen in a given sample that he simply determined the amount of oxygen present and assumed the rest to be nitrogen.
One great English chemist, Lord Raphael, found that the nitrogen obtained from the air was never so pure as that obtained from some compound 18 ammonia. What was the "impurity"? In co-operation with another prominent chemist, Sir William Wheeler, he discovered that nitrogen in the atmosphere came the discovery of other rare gases in the atmosphere. The air we breathe contains about a dozen gases and rasset a compounds.
This study of the air is an example of research in pure science. Reynolds and Damay had no practical end in view—merely the discovery of new facts.
A few years ago the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company began to study the destruction of filaments in exhausted lamps in order to succeed. I saw this happened. It was a purely accidental case. It was that the filament evaporated-bolled away, like so water. *
Pressure will check boilie or evaporation. If the pressure within a boiler is very high, it will take more heat than ordinarily to boil the water. Would a gas trader pressure prevent filaments from boiling away? If so, what气味? It must be a gas that will not combine chemically with the filament. The filament would burn in oxygen; hydrogen would conduct the heat away too rapidly. Nitrogen is a useful gas in this case. It could form a few compounds, however. Better still is argon. It forms compounds at all.
Thus the modern, object-oriented jump appeared, and so argon,
the most recent gas in the world, found a practical application.
Discover new facts, and their practical application will take care of itself.
And the discovery of new facts is the primary purpose of the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company.
Sometimes years must elapse before the practical application of a discovery becomes apparent, as in the case of argon; sometimes a practical application follows from the mere answering of a "theoretical" question, as in the case of a gas-filled lamp. But no substantial progress can be made unless research is conducted for the purpose of discovering new facts.
