The Daily Kansas笋 into print the University of Kansas; to go far than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the Uni- versity holds; to be cheerful to; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wider heads, in all, to serve to the students of the University. IT WAS A GOOD GAME BUT- FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1920 Perhaps it isn't the custom for the band to play at baseball games. I not, let's break a precedent. IT WAS A GOOD GAME BUT— It was a good baseball game yesterday. All of the Kansas players were in excellent form and put up a strong game. There was a good crowd and plenty of pop. But—where was the band? It would seem that on the opening game of the national sport the University band should have been there to keep up the pop of the crowd and to encourage the players. Can't we have the band out for the next game? A BOQUET FOR TORCH Has the spirit of the University died? No! Some of the rooters tried to start the Crismon and 'The Blue, but there was no band to lead. The Torch Society is to be commended on having brought to the University the Deveux players, who gave two performances in the gymnasium last Thursday afternoon an evening. The one in the afternoon was Rostand's "Romanes" and the evening entertainment was the well known play by Bernard Shaw, "Arm and the Man." Both were well receive by the audience, although it is to b regretted that more people did not take advantage of this opportunity; offered them by going to see at least one of the two plays. It is hoped that more fine productions of this character will be brought to the students of the University of Kansas. It is by seeing plays of this type that we acquire a certain polish and cultural taste that is to be highly desired from a college education. The students of the University today are accused of being "dance-mad," but they are still able to enjoy something really fine when it comes to them. When high-class productions come again, let us welcome them with open arms. THE AMERICAN BOY One of the disastrous effects of the high cost of living is shown in the large number of children who are leaving the schools as soon as they are permitted to go to work under the child labor laws in the various states. Investigation by the United States Bureau of Education shows that children of fourteen are leaving school by increasingly large numbers and taking jobs in factories or wherever they can earn money. Many of these children are still in the grades. This is a great mistake, and one that will make an impression upon the future life of the nation unless it is checked. It will mean a less intelligent citizenship, and a consequent economic loss. The Bureau of Education has pre pared figures which show that it pays to keep a boy in school until he is at least eighteen. The boy who leaves school at fourteen receives an average wage of eighteen dollars a week at the age of twenty-five, compared with an average of more than thirty dollars a week among the men who remain in school until they are eighten or until they complete their high school education. In many cases keeping a boy bishop after he is old enough to obtain a job will entail a saxiface and the boy's own desire must be overruled for both the sake of the boy and that of the country it is necessary that something be done to keep the American boy in school. THE OLD CLOTHES MAN The old clothes man made his roma among the students again this week With a pocketful of small change and an inquisitive look in the direction of every wardrobe, he passed from rooming house to rooming house with his bundle of clothes tossed over one arm. With the persistence of his kind, he went from door to door throughout the University district braving the jibes of his trade. Every piece of wearing apparel, to the old clothes man, is "oil clo$" and a possible bargain. A new pair of pumps worm only once and a pair of old shoes with footlights in them, if they are still wearable, are essentially the same in his sight. He doesn't recognize clothes by their style or color but by their texture and wearing qualities. In the same pack he carries a silk shirt with a brief social history to its credit, and a pair of oid shiny trousers. The size of the pack of cart off garments that the old clothes man carries away with him indicates something more than good or poor bargaining ability on his part. The fundamental determinant of the size of his pack is the economy or extravagance of his customers. When clothes shrink until they are too small or when they are really outworn they belong to the old clothes man, of course. But when shifting styles and extravagant tastes age good serviceable clothes in one season, then the old clothes man and his propaganda becomes a menace. Hundred dollar suits with new kinds of lapels, brogue oxfordes punched full of scenery, and unwashed silk shirts that take the place of the cast off garments are opposed to the sensible doctrine of economy and thrift which eventually must play an important part in decreasing the high cost of living. Try to wear your old garments until the old clothes man makes his next trip. It will mean a saving to you and to the nation. Campus Opinion FEES TOO HIGH, SAYS "M. S." Editor, Daily Kansan: At this time we are not only having prices raised on us daily, almost hourly, but we have begun to anticipate them. One which we did not expect, however, was the doubling o four University fees. It is necessary to acknowledge an announcement as unwelcome as unexpected. Next year, if reports are true, each student will have to pay $26 on entrance with an additional $10 for matriculation fee if he is a freshman. The University faculty needs more money. That is admitted. If, as is expected, there are four thousand students enrolled, the doubling of entrance fee will amount to more than $40,000 over this year's fees. And while that is not an insignificant amount, it is not exactly an insignificant amount. But should the fee be increased? What about this being a free and democratic school? What about the great number of young people who are working in education? How hard time as it is with the present high costs of all necessities? The state of Kansas is more than able to meet the expenses of the University and if it is to be called a university, it must be so in fact as far as possible. If tuition is to be so high, only those who have the money will be able to come, and those are the ones who can afford to go to a private college in the first place. the state of Kansas as a whole undoubtedly is more than willing to have its University a democratic, helpful institution of which it may e proud, according to true Kansas principles. It would be best for the board of Administration to think well before they make it too hard for his self supporting students to get a University education and destroy the foundation foundations on which the state University is built. OBJECTS TO THE ATTITUDE Editor, Dally Kansan: At the Thaibau concert the audience applauded three times during one piece, thinking each time that he had reached the end. When advised to take more careful, he was far worse. But one piece was about as familiar as the others. Possibly two or three besides the instrument in violin had heard some of them before. There was not a moment during the evening, when the great violinist could not if not always have been on time the pleasure by selecting one of the better known classical pieces. Just one. But perhaps it would not have been as interesting to the specialists on the violin. After all, however, why should a thousand people be so afraid of an affordent entertainment for two or three specialists? I know one who will not fall for it next year. M. S. Editor, Daily Kansan: Low Brow. After reading again my previous contribution to the Kansan, I fail to find either expressed or implied, that I am convinced "that unless all concession is made," we will not great harm will be worked," as Mr. Progressive says. Just as I believe that open-mindedness requires the hearing of both sides, so I believe that it is necessary to hear both the conservative and the radical. The point here is that I believe he fundamental to all constructive thinking that each individual work out for himself his own opinions in so far as he is able. If after due consideration of both sides of a question, he takes a conservative view, then we shall find him a more liberal view in order to evoke thinking—for thinking is work and requires effort—he merely falls in line with what chances to be the popular opinion without any attempt on his part to work out the thing for himself, then I believe that his conservatism must be marginal to the advance of society. Mr. Progressive also objects to the words conservative, progressive and radical but offers no substitutes. They are no doubt nothing more than relative terms, but is that any reason for discarding them? Truth and justice are also relative terms and still we find them very useful. So I think that the words conservative, progressive, radical and tough understand to warrant their use. I believe that I may add, and I believe that it is good psychology, that people may be roughly grouped into these three classes of thinkers. There is a type of mind to fit each class just a there is a Methodist, a Baptist, an orthodox type (and others of course) in religious thought. The man who is radical in politics is pretty sure to be radical in religion, and in ethics. And the man who is radical in psychology is phase of life is so interwoven, so interpenetrating, and so completely bound up in the whole that there is no opportunity for one to approach one phase in one attitude, and another in a totally different attitude. Ernest R. Mowrer. But all this is not to argue that all persons should be made the same. It is in fact to argue that all persons should not, and never will be, the same. It is to argue that all attempts to make them the same have always been, and always will be, future. In order to make them the same, you quote: "The core of social process is not likeness, but the harmonizing of differences through interpretation." So it would follow that the ideal state would be that in which each person should contribute his own individual opinion—different opinion, if you please—in order that there may evolve from this contribution or differences an ultimate opinion, more sound and true, than any of those personal views.

The theory is advanced that dancing improves co-ordination, and the coach expects that it will get better with practice. Their toes. If sufficient progress is made by the participants, an exhibition will be staged at commencement. Now as Mr. Progressive objects to "unwily title of" Neither Black or White, just Gray, let me sign this communication with the name my par- ents gave me—surely I can not be hold by that, or what, whatever faults t may have.

Ware (Ironquill), the Kansas writer is largely responsible for the memorial table to Lieutenant Alfred C. Alford in Fraser Chapel. Lieutenant Alford fell at Calcoun, in the Philippines that he was the first University of Kansas student to die in the Philippe War. LT. ALFORD'S BUST IN FRASER CLAPPIE Ye Good Old Days The mother and sister of Lieutenant Alford still live in Lawrence, at 831 Louisiana Street. Ware stated in a lecture soon after that he thought there should be a memorial at the University to Lieutenant Alford. John J. McCook of New York, on learning of the contribution to help pay for the memorial, expressing the wish that the line from Horace, "Dulce et decorum pro patria mort," appear on the tablet. Mr. McCook is the man who gave the University the tract of land where the athletic field no longer existed. The matter was before the aliquot to James W. Gleed. A committee of three, consisting of Mr. Gleed, Miss Carrie M. Watson, and Prof. Olf. Olin Templin was named to look after the matter. The greater part of the money was raised from among the alumni, but much was also contributed by faculty members, students, and alumni. In Brigheston of St. Louis it made the bronze tablet. On Memorial day, 1900, it was unveiled in its position on the wall of Fraser Chapel, with the Latin quotation requested by Mr. McCook occupying a Church Directory If your church is not listed here call The Kansan FIRST PRESIDENTIAN, 9th and Ver- mont.
