AT $60 THE MONTH
We see by the paper—all true stories start this way—that a young man, a college graduate, went to teaching school, in the East, at $60 a month. He came to words with one of the members of the school board, who insisted that "he gotta be polite to me," whereupon he threw up his job, and took another waiting tables in a restaurant. Now he's making $50 to $60 a week including tips.
Such conditions prevail to an alarmingly large extent all over the country. Such a condition is very depressing to students of the University, especially when the public schools, the schools supported by the state, are the poorest paid of all.
But the last session of the Kansas legislature passed a bill raising the salaries of high school' and grade teachers fifty percent—provided voters of the county vote favorably on a tax increase. The voters must see the necessity of this increase or the communities where the salaries are not raised will be shrunched by the teachers to the point of a teacher famine.
This does not increase the salaries in the higher educational institutions however. Immediate and adequate legislation is the only thing that will keep the University of Kansas from losing able men in the various lines of instruction. A table published recently showed that while Missouri University, with a salary list terme low, paid an average of $2500 per year to professors, K. U. was at the bottom of the list of western universities with an average yearly salary of only $2200.
If Kansas will make the monetary inducements of faculty positions innumerable, the other many inducements of the teaching profession in universities will draw large numbers of competent young men and women into the higher institutions. But is present conditions continue, the only college professors of the future will be those physically or mentally incapacitated for the speedier and easier ways of making a living.
The ground hog and his shadow seems to mean nothing to the woman with a new spring hat.
Pseudo-Scientists, and possibly real scientists have recently discovered a novel and entertaining indoor sport in the hazarding of guesses on the possibility of messages being flashed to the earth from the planet Mars, and then disputing whether the supposed messages come from Mars, or another planet likewise some distance from the earth and known to the astronomers as Venus.
HELLO, MARS!
Now Mars was named after the Grecian god of war, and must needs have a most belligerent nature, that would be attracted a great deal by the conflicts of the earth, so this conjecture of the near-scientists is at least plausible, considering the combative mood of the world in the present arrangement, or rather derangement of the natural order of things.
but, venus. At no, nameake of the beautiful mate of Jupiter higher than all of the immortals, how could the lovely planet, which scientist says might be capable of containing life, bear possibly to have communication, even with the horrible planet, Earth, which is constantly engaged in turmoil! How could any member, other than Mars, of the planetary system, which revolves around and around the sun in immutable circles, be attracted by any body that contained such strife, such defiling combat, between the inhabitants, as has marked the past five years. Three-fourths of the population of the earth have been in arms against each other, flooding the world with blood, and littering the playground of Europe with the spawn of war. Even now, when we of this side of the Atlantic are at peace, twenty-three of the nations the world are earnestly try to cut the throats of each other. In the name of government, Russia and Germany are carrying on campaigns of bloodhed that astound the historians who measure butchery and massacre by the French revolution, when tens of thousands of the bourgeois were murdered. Modern methods are simpler, but oh, how much more gorgeous! Simply shooting against a wall, and hanging on lamp-poets and emergency gibbets, the wholesale carrying on of these operations is on such a scale as to amaze even the French revolutionists, were they alive today.
Lincoln will be more popular than Washington this year since his birthday falls on a school day.
PROHIBITION AGAIN?
The attempt of certain Democratic leaders to make an issue of the prohibition question in the coming presidential campaign is an attempt to raise a dead issue. When people of the country have seen prohibition in effect for a year they will be unwilling to return to the open saloon.
Whiskey interests are making the charge that there are as many arrests today as there were before prohibition went into effect. The charge may not be entirely refuted but an examination of the causes of the arrests will show that prohibition has already proved a benefit. In Kansas City during the month of January there was only one arrest for drunkenness. The total arrests were slightly higher than in January 1919 but a big majority of the police court cases were for violation of traffic ordinances while a year ago the courts were kept busy with drunkness cases, wifebeating and similar offenses. The liquor interests fail to mention that big business men attribute a part of the large increase in purchases, and particularly the increase in buying by the poorer classes of people, to the fact that the money that formerly went for booze is now spent for clothing and useful commodities.

Cap and Bells By G.B.S.Jones
Are there any men in the University of Kansas who do not already kno all there to know? If so, Iacknow all there to know and wish I make their acquaintance.
Now, I have come to wonder if there may not be in the University of Kansas a few men like myself who have had the hope of ever achieving to wisdom.
I do this because as I go about the world, and particularly about the state of Kansas, I am constantly embarrassed by the discovery that among so many wise men I alone seem to be a fool. This discovery has greatly puzz me, because I do not understand how fortunate condition, and as I have honestly attempted to improve myself in the ways of wisdom, I have been greatly discouraged at my constant failure. I know that these people whom I meet are wise men, because they always tell me so; but, since I find after many years of humble effort this can be difficult, I am amazed at myself I have decided to give up the attempt and to try something different.
It seems to me as I look back over the years I have spent here that I can remember a few like me who were willing to be taught. And as I can say quite simply that my students rarely stantly taught me more than ever my teachers have done. I wonder if there should happen to be as many as ten or twelve men who would like to meet os often as once a week to compare our various states of ignorance and to become more ignorant, if possible, because it is much easier to rate further on this idea for an organization of avowed "fools" who would meet for discussion of the subjects they knew nothing about.

STEAM UP
Did you ever try to run an engine with steam only half up? Did it run? It did not! An engine that is designed to run under 100 pounds pressure will not run under 50 or 60 pounds. Furthermore, when it is running under 40 pounds it only demands a fraction of the energy that it does under full pressure.
How about you? Have you got steam up or are you trying to run under half pressure? You'll never wear an engine out if you never get but half a head of steam up—but neither will you accomplish much! The best strategy is to do their best work when they carry the biggest load. Ak all the honor students you meet and nine out of every ten will tell you that he did his best work and piled up the highest grades when he was doing the most work. Instructors of the college of the students go thru college with steam just about half up.
The officer's training camps during the war showed what can be done when men really get steam up. The students in those army schools learned more about the nature of the war three months later, most of those same men had learned in the same number of years in college—Iowa State Student.
