DR. EVANS AND THE TRIBUNE
Dr. W. A. Evans who spoke in the school for health officers last week, has accomplished much in preventive medicine in Chicago.
Thousands of dollars that might have come in from those who wished to advertise patent medicines, were turned down every year by the Chicago Tribune. The editors had no means of knowing whether the medicines were reliable or not but they hit upon a scheme for solving the problem. They engaged Dr. Evans as a medical editor.
James Kelley, editor of the Chicago Tribune, says that it is impossible to estimate Dr. Evans' services to the people of Chicago.
Dr. Evans inspected all medical advertisements in his department. The unreliable ads were turned down while the others were given a place in the paper. Twice a day he gave short talks to newspaper readers on the subject of public hygiene. He taught personal hygiene to the people by the question and answer method.
Besides his work on this newspaper Dr. Evans was for a number of years a member of the Board of Health. He was the first man in the United States to receive the degree of Doctor of Public Health.
A DIALOGUE
"Did you see all three Coburn plays?"
"Yes. Did you?" "Yes. How did you like them?" "They were just fine. I enjoyed them all. Which did you like best?" "Well, I hardly know. I think I liked 'Tweelfth Night' the best. Mrs. Coburn was so cute in that."
"I liked 'iphigenia in Tauris' best
The lightning was so good."
"They were all good."
"Yes, they were."
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE Dean J. S. Crumbine brought home to us the importance of the State Board of Health and the health officers school in his speech in chapel Friday.
The great aim of the Board is to teach preventive medicine. It has been carrying on a fight against tuberculosis and has succeeded to such an extent that last year there were 300 less deaths from tuberculosis than these were three years ago. Thus the state was saved $1,629,000 the value of these 300 lives.
The results of its work have been almost beyond belief in preventing not only tuberculosis but all diseases to which the people of Kansas are subjected.
This great lessening of the death rate has been accomplished by the teaching of preventive medicine to the people. Much has been done through the teaching of physiology in
the public schools because hygiene rather than anatomy has been emphasized.
There is still much for the Board of Health to accomplish and the school for health officers does much to aid this work.
WORKING WORDS OVERTIME
WORKING WORDS OVERTIME
It is unfair that some words should
have to work so hard and others so
little.
"Awfully" and "nice" are too words that work together long and ardously. Now, it is wrong to allow such words as dainty, fine, exact, fastidious, elegant, pleasant, and neat to lie around idle while "nice" does all of the work. "Nice" doesn't like to work with "awfully" either for "awfully" is slang.
"Grand" is another word that toils and toils and never seems to rest. These words, magnificent, sublime, magestic, elevated, stately, august, pompous, lofty, exalted, and noble might lust as well help it out.
Many other words are bearing more than their share of burdens. It is extremely unjust.
MAY HAVE REFERENDUM ON
'VARSITY APPROPRIATION
That as a result of the adoption of the pending constitutional amendment for the initiative and referendum, it will be possible to have a popular vote upon university appropriations made by the next legislature, and that such a referendum will be the final test as to whether or not a democracy can support educational institutions on the highest plans, was pointed out by President Charles R. Van Hise of the University of Wisconsin in addressing the alumni of the university at their annual dinner
"A constitutional amendment for the initiative and referendum will be submitted to the people of the state next autumn and without doubt will be adopted," said Dr. Van Hise. "When the next legislature adjourns it will therefore be possible to call a referendum upon the grants to the university for all appropriations exceeding those of the previous biennium. This will present a new situation."
"Hitherto, the merits of the case of the university have always been tried by the legislature and its committees. When a legislature has become acquainted with the facts, it has always voted adequate support to the university; not only so but by their own initiative members of the legislature have enlarged the scope of the university's work .
"With a possible referendum it will be necessary not only that the legislature have the facts regarding the work and the service of the uni versity but it will be necessary that this information be availabile to the majority of the voters of the state.
"Thus far, the leadership of Wisconsin among state universities has generally been recognized. It is therefore especially encumberd upon us to see that the installation of the new instruments of government do not result in staying our progress; and in this manner prove that a democracy may sustain as high grade a university as a monarchy.
"The referendum when applied to state universities in this country will be the final test as to whether or not a democracy can support educational institutions on the highest plane. The application of the referendum in Oregon has embarrassed the University of that state. Doubtless when the referendum is applied, higher education in some other states will be halted, if actual retrogression does not take place.
"This presents the great opportunity, the special duty, of the alumni. If the alumni perform this duty in full it is improbable that a referendum will be called upon university appropriations because it will be clear that the people will support the university. If the university continues true to its ideals to serve the people of the entire commonwealth, and if this is made clear to them
through the alumni, there can be no question that the university will be supported in its aim to do all possible in assisting the state of Wisconsin to advance its intellectual and material leadership among the states of the nation."
STUDENT OPINION
Students 'are invited to express their views through this column. The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of good faith.
Students come to Lawrence, and, after hunting around for houses to room and board, say: "Oh yes, glorious view, but bee whillikins! Haven't you any street signs?"
To the Kansan:
And then the new students will tell how they walked the streets in a haphazard way, begging directions from every passerby, who usually scratched his head and admitted that the names of Lawrence's streets were a mystery to him.
Think of this: About 2500 students come to Lawrence in the course of the year. A thousand more come here for commencement. So it is obvious that all altogether three or four thousand strangers a year come to Lawrence and get lost on the streets. All because there is a woeful dearth of street signs.
We're not ashamed of the names of our streets. Let's have some street signs.
o the Editor of the Kansan:
It's all very well for "Old 'Un' to rant against the grinds! Some of us are grinds in self-defense. You don't see how? It is the epitome of simplicity. Here is a fair sample of New 'Un's daily program:
After preserving a grave face thru' out classes, rush home (?) with what dignity you can, in view of the steepness of the Hill and your need of non-skids. Inquire anxiously about the mail. Every month or so (seemingly) you get a letter. It doesn't help much! only makes you feel more so.
In the afternoon for want of something better, you read or study. In the evening you study for the same reason and acquire the "early to bed" habit that will give you a week of annoyance often you reach the home camp. Sunday we pass over in silence. Victor Hugo is the only person who could or would take time to do the paths of it justice, and he's indefinitely dead; too, you know.
Great to sit on a stone wall with some one you're crazy about, Old Un? Of course, most of us 'leftright' some one down in Wilson, or Sunner, or Cherokee county we are admittedly a little foolish over, but that doesn't brand us as monomaniacs, does it?
Some of us, with proper encouragement might be induced to develop a temporary side-line malady with a course limited to that of the Summer Session.
