The Daily Kansan aims to pique curiosity in University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news for students to make the University hold on to plan to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be brave; to be wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to educate the students of the University.

WHAT PROFITS THE PEDAGOGUE?
Drygoods may advance forty-five per cent, clothing thirty, and groceries fifteen, but the salary of a faculty member of the University of Kansas stands unraised firm on the solid concrete base of the institutional and constitutional Kansas policy of dollar conservation. Soulless corporations care for their employees with adequate salaries in return for their services, and occasionally swoop down upon some plodding pedagogue, triple his salary and bear him away to the business world where appreciation of his ability will be expressed in dollars and cents. Verily, the pedagogue was not born to profit.
Inquiries made by the Kansan bring out the fact that ten American universities are making general raises of salary, of one kind or another this year in order to meet the high cost of living. Particularly those salaries under $2,500 are being increased from 5 to 20 per cent. In some cases there is a $200 gift. Mississippi is asking its legislature for a 25 per cent increase in the salary scale Wyoming has a regular annual increase of salaries.
The majority of the ten universities at which salaries are being raised are state universities which have as a rule the lowest salary scales.
A comparison of salary scales shows that Kansas pays the lowest salaries for instructors and assistant professors, of any state school worthy of note. In spite of this fact the legislature last year cut down the allowance made for salaries thirty thousand dollars. A diminished force must meet increasing responsibilities. Kansas cannot compare with the universities of wider reputation and higher grade with which she is competing.
The price of pedagogy does not increase, even though everything else does. The inevitable result is that this university cannot attract men of great talent whose reputation is already made, and must furthermore each year watch more powerful universities claim a few of her men of genius who are building up reputations here. Kansas is not poorer than other states whose state universities fare better than does K. U. The difference lies in the attitude of the states regarding their state universities.
Hush, little thirt stamp
Don't you cry.
You'll be a war bond
By and by.
LEST YOU FORGET
Impossible it may seem, mid-terms examinations are but two weeks ahead. By that time your professor
is going to form one-half of his estimate of you and your work for this semester.
Spring weather and twenty-three other things may have combined to make studying hard during the last few days, however, now is the time to get into the game. Those of you who have loafed the first weeks of the semester will have to put in some hard licks from this time on, and vindicate yourself.
Now that a young Kansas cyclone has blown some tons of roofing off Fraser Hall last week, why don't the conservation workers sieze the opportunity to fill their little salvage baskets?
She tried to give a definite class discussion by talking in generalities that any student in the class would have known. She followed with weak pattitudes that bored her listeners. She thought she was "getting by." She took up valuable class time, when she should have admitted that she knew little about the subject under discussion.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
It was the little things that counted with the class.
Will K. U. become wise after the Follices?
HARD UP IN MICHIGAN
HARD UP IN MICHIGAN
The Michigan Daily Something or Other or just Daily,—that is about all it really is,—has just filled some of its expansive spare space with some startling news from the University of Kansas. At least and at last there was a colorful news item. The color was yellow.
Salvage fails in Kansas—so the headline read and then the story told of a couple of lead tubes, three or four electric light bulbs, and a few scabs of tin foil which were the total contents of the two big salvage boxes here.
Now is the time for the Kansan to get red-headed and rebuse everybody in sight. Why haven't you neglected those boxes? Why do you fill them to the overflowing twice a week? You ought to have been more considerate. For your actions have put the Michigan Daily in a rather uncomfortable category. News is news. Too bad Kansas students wouldn't be more accommodating and verify for Michigan Too bad! Too bad!
Red Cross News FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
A Red Cross refuge home for 70 women and 12 babies has been established in Milan.
A bulletin in French for the Red cross is now being issued and distributed to members in France and to editors of French publications.
Whenever you write a letter, whether to mother or father way out nearer the place where the sun sets last in Kansas, or to him who sees the sun rising in France,—just write on both sides of the paper and close up spacing between lines. Then the one who gets your letter will know that you are minding our grand old Uncle in conserving his paper supply. It feels good to do little big things like that.
Two Red Cross women workers in a village near Paris did some splendid work in record time recently. They had forty minutes' notice that 120 American soldiers were to pass through their hamlet and got ready right by immediately adding to their regular canteen fare enough fresh eggs to supply every Sammy.
In the Philippines 4,576 children are Junior members of the Ameiran Red Cross. It has always been difficult to stir the interest of the natives beyond their own small home "barric." These Red Cross Juniors, however, make handkerchiefs, splint pads, quilts, ice bag covers, bags for crushed ice, strings for pajamas, and bed socks for the soldiers. Someone was wrong when he said East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet. That is, unless we are as he conditioned—pretty near the Lord's judgment seat!

POET'S CORNER
Oh! Why didn't I wait to be drafted?
And led to the train by a band.
And put in a claim for exemption
Oh! why did I pick up my hand,
Oh! why didn't I wait for a banquet
Oh! why didn't I wait to be cheered
For the drafted men get all the credit
While I only volunteered.
ONLY A VOLUNTEER
Nobody gave me a banquet,
Nobody said a kind word,
A puff of the engine—a grinding of
Was all the goodbye that I heard.
Then off to the training camp bused
To be trained for the next half year
And in the shuffle forgotted
I was a Volunteer.
Perhaps someday in the future
When my little boy sits on my knee
And asks what I did in the struggle
And his little eyes look up to me
I will proudly look into his eyes,
To that me so trustingly peer
And say that I wasn't drafted
I WAS A VOLUNTEER.
The Widow.
Self-government among the women students of Colorado University has recently been instituted through the medium of Woman's League. Representatives from each house where three or more women are staying will meet once a month.

Women of the Michigan Agriculture college have adopted an interesting measure for those who do not Howeverize. Names are posted on a bulletin board in the unissolved sugar in their coffee cups, followed by the query, "Are you doing your bit?"
The women have also signed a pledge to deny themselves wheat bread, not only on wheatless days, but at dinner every day.

If the foundation—the cor- set is properly designed and carefully fitted with a full knowledge of the figure- need, the result is all that one may hope for from the view point of appearance, comfort and health.
Smartness in costuming begins with the corse.
For even a last year's
frock will fall with grace
over a Redferm Corset
that is correctly fitted.
Reform Corsets
are quite as pretty to look at as they are comfortable to wear. Their satisfaction is assured.
