DEAN SKILTON FEARS FOR OUR FOLK SONGS
Product of Rural Life-They Are Disappearing With Complex Civilization
Whether the United States is to develop its folk songs is a doubtful question. Dean C. S. Skilton of the School of Fine Arts has no hope that the band toward their folk songs will country and thinks that few will be produced.
"Our folk songs are represented by the tunes of old New England, the old war songs, the ballads of Stephens A. Foster, the original negro songs and the Indian songs," he said. "The role to be played is related to the artificial music, or 'coon song' it is unfortunate that our artificial negro songs are of a debased type.
"In older times, when the father came home he would sing the experiences of the day to his family, and in this way the folk songs originated. But as society became more complex this method was done away with and the thoughts were merely related instead of sung; and in some cases where folk songs could originate would be in some rural community where society is still very simplified. Therefore, folk songs may disappear entirely in the future."
Dean Skilton does not think that the music of the old classics is of a

Your friends have created for you the hardest work of all where. Some men say that so much protection has made you weak and dependent. I do not believe it. I believe that you are well equipped to take up the greatest work of life. I should say that you are better equipped than the youth of any other state."

In Prof. Arthur MacMurray's oral interpretation class, the students are required to choose some subject as a theme, upon which they are, by the end of the class, to present and furnish an hour's enjoyable and instructive entertainment. An abnormally keen interest was shown recently by the entire class, when one student presented his thesis, "A 'Man a Man' for a Taint, by Victor Hugo."

Teach Freshmen Manners
Teach Freshmen Mammals
Freshmen must be shown their place in the classroom. Weaver, two Graduate students living at 1042 Ohio, had the artistic appearance of their room disturbed yesterday afternoon by the rude entrance of three freshmen women who live at the same place. The freshmen were promptly put out, but as their feelings had been injured slightly they were taken away. Miss Beck and Miss Weaver decided to have done with such foolishness at once so tied them in and there they remained until supper time.
According to Hal Curran, of the School of Law, the "Follies of 1914" at the Shubert was much better than the K.C. A.C. track meet at Convention Hall. Hal saw both in Kansas City the past week-end.
A young and rather pretty teacher attending a teachers' convention recently, told the following: I one day spoke to my students along the lines of the aim: to teach the class the desirability of having high aims I asked my pupils what each planned to be. One wanted to be a doctor, another president, another a locomotive engineer, and another the class, until I reached Tommy.
Tommy is a bright, handsome youngster of seven years, and I was expecting him to want to be someone of great importance in the world. I was puzzled to find him much embarrassed. He didn't want to tell me his ambition, but finally asked if he might whisper it to me. I thought it was appropriate, and he trudged up to my desk. Even there he hesitated.
"Come, come, Tommy," I said somewhat impatiently. "Tell me what it is you want to be in life." He raised himself on tip tones and slipped one arm about my neck as he whispered, "Your--your husband."

In the Nature Class
The nature lesson was to be on nuts.
Teacher: "John, you may tell me three kinds of nuts you know."
Daily Thought
John (without hesitation)：“Dough
nuts, peanuts, and forget-me-nuts.”
Don't look for flaws as you go through life.
And even though you find them
be wise and kind and somewhat blind
Be wise and kind and somewhat blind
And look for virtues behind them.
