TO DEAN KELLY
Dean Frederick J. Kelly, dean of the School of Education since 1915, has resigned from his position here, to go to $^{1}$ University of Michigan next September as professor of education an administration. The University has lost a good man in the loss of the dean and although higher salary is one motive for his leaving, there are several other reasons behind his resignation.
Dean Kelly will have a large field for research in certain public school problems that he is interested in. In his new work, and as Michigan has no distinct school of education now, he will be instrumental in establishing a school for them on a large basis.
Dean Kelly was the founder of the measure that was adopted in the state of Kansas toward the lift in salaries for public school teachers. The bill, as passed, was of on call "The Felly Bill." He founded the Buena Vista School Service, then is an adequate part of the University of Kansas, and while it so largegy used by teachers all over the state. He is given the credit by his fellow-professors, as having virtually built up the School of Education, and put it on a nationally-recognized basis.
FOLLOW ENGINEER EXAMPLE
We are losing a broad-minded, progressive man when we lose Dan Kelly and our best wishes go with him in his new work, along with our regrets that he will not be one of us anymore
FOLLOW ENGINEER EXAMPLE
The Engineers parade Friday was an example of collaboration in which it can be done through co-operation.
Several floats, some of them representative of the work done by different departments of the School, others with well-intended thrusts at the Laws, gave spice to the parade.
Engineers' Day has been an annual event, lobed forward with enthusiasm, not by the Engineers alone, but by the entire University. It has been a means of bringing the students of the School of Engineering into closer understanding with each other, and with the faculty members. Not only have the Engineers profited, but the University as a whole
Other schools and departments of the University could profit by similar demonstrations, and a bigger and better University of Kansas would be the inevitable result.
Why not have an all-University Dav?
LET'S PAY MORE
"First of all I am getting a fifty per cent increase in salary." This is the explanation given by one of four men who will leave the faculty of the University of Kansas at the close of summer school this year.
Nothing further need be said
These four men have all received offers from other schools which are far greater than they are at present receiving from the University. Plain business sense alone would teach them to accept. But the increase in salary has not been the only inducement to draw them away from the University of Kansas. As one of them put it: "I will have less hours of actual teaching time and consequently more liberty for research work."
The list of men who have left the University to take similar positions in other schools and colleges in the United States is a long one and will grow each succeeding year, unless higher salaries are forthcoming. The University is suffering, and will continue to suffer, as long as the faculty members are underpaid. There is scarcely a college or university in the United States the size of our institution which does not pay its instructors a greater remuneration han does the University of Kansas.
The vacancies left by the resignation of these four men will not be easily filled, as testified to by Prof. C. H. Ashton, of the department of mathematics, who said: "The depart mathematics, who said: "The department is having much difficulty in finding candidates for the positions at the salaries offered here."
Indications also point to the fact that the field of new instructors just entering the teaching profession in colleges is dwindling, if a letter from a former University of Kansas student, now studying at another University, may be taken as a general example. An extract from the letter follows.
"I shall take some unskilled labor job before I will teach large and numerous classes at a salary insufficient for a married man. From experience I know that I can get shorter hours, a reasonable wage, less responsibility and worry, and more time for research at such a job, than as an instructor in a large university."
There are at the present time several members of the faculty, who, although they have received better offers from some other institution, have remained at the University for no other reason than that of loyalty. Just how much longer they will continue to do so, is a matter of question.
The University of Kansas is a growing institution. What it needs is not fewer instructors, but more of them, in order to adequately care for the ever increasing enrollment. The difficulty of obtaining them will be greatly augmented through failure to increase the present salaries paid.
PRICES CAN BE LOWERED
PRICES CAN BE LOWERED
Economists have reached the conclusion that the lowering of present prices rests entirely with the public with only two obstacles in the way. The first of these, a want of organization, is the general overall clubs, which are rapidly being organized all over the United States.
The second obstacle, the public's own selfishness, is a quite different one. Many of the people who claim to be suffering from the effect of present conditions show a decided disinclination to do without certain luxuries and expensive clothing. If the overall clubs were pushed to the limit, and if everyone was willing to set aside his own vanity by entire abstention from new and expensive garments, the question of clothes could be settled over night.
The whole situation of present high prices is summed up by the fact that there is not enough fine woolen cloth in the world today to go around. There is wool abundant and wool to snare but it cannot be made into
fine cloth for want of machinery, anowing to the destruction of war, this machinery can not be replaced for perhaps two years. Coarse cloth sufficient to supply the demand can be furnished, but the public clamor for fine cloth and therefore the demand for coarse cloth is ungible Thus the price of fine cloth is force up by the public in its insistence o undering its neighbors.
Even in countries such as England where the government takes over the surplus profit on wool, there is no check on competition. There the government itself has become a profiteer with the result that the larger selling price of the cloth, the larger the profit of the government.
The war taught us that the law of supply and demand is a bogie. It has been proved to be no law at all, but only a convenient formula for excusing high prices, low wages, or any other economic condition that needed excusing. The result has been to load on the public all it would stand. But the people seem to have tired of this condition of affairs, and
Campus Opinion
if they are willing to sacrifice the own selfishness, relief will come. So it rests with the public—the persons affected—to see that excessive prices are reduced. It means wearing old clothes, to be sure, but this will be of little consequence if everyone adopts the policy. Perhaps an old clothes clubs which have been organized in some places will prove more effective than overalls clubs, because the possibility of profiteering in overalls would be alleviated.
How much exercise have you had today?
Editor, Daily Kansan:
WHY EXERCISE?
If you are not one of this class, you walked up the Hill, but your entire exercise for the day probably consisted in walking the few blocks necessary to meet your classes. Maybe you will walk up to the library at night.
If you are one of those students, some might say fortunate students, who has Dad's car at your disposal, you rooke up the hill, even rode to and from classes, and were perhaps sorry you could not drive in to the door of your class room in order to save unnecessary expenditure of energy. Then you rooke home and will continue to ride all day.
The list of students who arose at 5:30 or 6 o'clock this morning and enjoyed the exhilarating air and the beauty of the early morning in a vigorous game of tennis or an invigorating walk is probably very small. But only one trial by each student would make it an enjoyable habit for most of them. They would return with a healthy appetite, a clear, concisely-working brain, and the instructor as well as the student would be surprised as the intellectual improvement.
The general health of most of the students would be greatly improved by daily exercise. An hour in the early morning before classes, spent in healthy exercise, would be just as beneficial as the same amount of sleep. The University furnishes a limited number of tennis courts for the students, and those who fail to use them are missing many pleasant hours.

Hazing was officially abolished at the University of Wisconsin by action of the student senate, legislative body of the student self-government. The chief reason for this action was to abolish street rioting and lake-ducking which marks the class rivalry each year.
Under the new regulations the various class officers will be held responsible for the conduct of their classes. Opposing such action, students have the decided emphasis of this opposition within the university and out the student senate decide that some definite action should be taken to ensure the enforcement of student traditions such as wearing of green caps.
An increase in salaries amounting to nearly 25 per cent per annum and beginning with this present semester will result in a majority of the University of Wisconsin.

With the coming of spring there opens an immense field of outdoor diversion and amusement. Most students attribute the fact that they do more exercise during the winter to the rigor of the climatic conditions in which they are having at the present time there is no excuse for lack of exercise.
A WALK A DAY
minimist in studying for a long period nothing revitalizes one so much as a snappy walk or an outdoor game of some sort. Instead of taking time from studies exercise of this type will make one more fit for his work and will also help to make studying more enjoyable, relieving the monotony of work with healthy and pleasant diversion. It is generally said that most students are indoors too much. For newcomers it is decided change from a great deal of life when in the open air, and as a result of this change their health is impaired and often breaks down.
tennis, golf, walking, bird study nature study—and many other forms of outdoor pastime can give the bookwresty student recreation, at the same time building up his muscles and physique. Saturation is also the days best fitted for recreation of this sort but early morning and evening can be utilized to advantage by the ambitious and energetic man. He can at the same time learn a great deal about the construction process in an immodest manner while doing so.
