UNIVERSITY DAILY KANAN.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students and encourages them to stand for the ideals the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be conspicuous; to lease more room in their dormitories; to air, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1913
Give me the children of the land,
And let me fill their days with smiles.
Let me but take them by the hand
And lead them where the sun bequiles.
THE SEED
Let me have these and I will give
For each back to my fellow-men
A human flower that will live
And bloom a perfect citizen.
——John Kendrick Banges
Kansas has one less thing to bragg about now that the Kansas City, Kan, police force, by backing down on the Homer Hoyt case, has failed to maintain its reputation of being the worst in this part of the country.
LETTING THE OTHER FELLOW DECIDE
It is almost amusing to watch the progress being made toward taking the Missouri-Kansas football game back to Kansas City.
The ones most vivitly interested are the students at the two universities, yet the movement originated in Kansas City and is as yet mostly there. Certainly there has been little concerted demand on the part of students at Kansas for the change.
If the students at Missouri and Kansas want the game in Kansas City, let them say so, and let their demands be granted; but if they don't, are we going to let someone else take the game away?
PENNY-WISE BOARDING HOUSE KEEPERS
Word has come that in spite of the urgent warning issued last week by the University health committee against the use of unboiled well water for drinking purposes, several boarding houses in the student district are serving unboiled well water at their tables, and have been doing so for some time.
The Daily Kansan will publish the names of any such boarding house keepers if students turn in complaints. There is no excuse whatever for penny-wise economy when student health is at stake.

Once a freshman made the University Glee club and in due time made his appearance in public sheathed in a dress suit one size too small for him. Since the rest of the club drowned out his noise, he made his escape without injury.
But one day the club made a trip out of town, and gave
Arriving there with a pair of startling blue socks on, the freshman could not borrow any others and appeared on the platform that night in dress suit and the blue challengers. He didn't make the glee club the following year.
a concert in a church. And strange things happened.
Moral: Within a few days the blat of the unsuccessful candidate for the glee club will resound on the campus. Let it cease: There are worse things than failing to make the glee club.

MISTAKES OF COLLEGE LIFE
(An extract from essays on College Life, by Le Baron Russell Briggs, which will be read by all freshmen of the University this year in Rhetoric.)
One of the evils from vice of all sorts at college is the lying that results from it. Shame and fear, half disguised as a desire not to worry parents, cut off many a father and mother from knowing what they have a right to know, and what they, if confined in, might remedy. I have soldmom seen a student in serious trouble who did not say-honestly enough, I presume--that he cared less for his own mollition than for his father's and mother's. As a rule, one of his parents is threatened with nervous prostration, or oppressed with business cares, or has a weak heart which, as the son argues, makes the receipt of bad news dangerous. Filial affection, which has been so dormant as to let the student do those things that would distress his parents most, awakens instantly at the thought that the parents must learn what he has done. The two severest rebukes of a certain gentle mother were: "You ought to have meant not to" and "You ought to have been sorry beforehand."
Many a student, knowing that the college must communicate with his father, will not nerve himself to the duty and the filial kindness of telling his father first. I remember a boy who was to be suspended for drunkenness, and who was urged to break the news to his father before the official letter went.
"You don't know my father," he said. "My father is a very severe man, and I can't tell him."
"The only thing you can do for him," was the answer,
"is to let him feel that you are able and willing to tell him first,—that you give him your confidence."
"Oh, you don't know him," said the boy again
"Is there any out about your father?"
"No?" (indignantly!) "You would respect him and admire him; but he is a very severe man."
"Then he has a right to hear and to hear first from you. You cannot help him more than by telling him, or hurt him more than by hiding the truth from him."
A day or two later the boy came back to the college office. "My father is a brick!" he said. In his confession he had learned for the first time how much his father cared for him.
