JAYHAWKER REFORM
The indoor circus is to be a hum dinger. Wonder how many rings will be necessary for that last.
Reform in the management of the Jayhawker is imperative.
Whether this comes through the adoption of the plan submitted to the student council by Skull and K last night or whether a better scheme is worked out is immaterial. The main consideration is to get away from the present uncertain and even dangerous method of conducting the affairs of the University's year book
Last year this method proved disastrous. So disastrous that the manager of this year's annual is unable to obtain credit from either printers or engravers and the bonding companies are unwilling to accept the risk of the book's losing money.
This is a lamentable state of affairs for the annual of Kansas University. It is due mainly to the fact that there is at present no way to guage the size and expense of the Jayhawker by the number of students in the graduating class and because a budget of $5,000 or $6,000 must be raised without a cent of it being guaranteed beforehand.
The fact that the circulation is limited to 1,000 is also regretable. Two thousand more could be printed at an almost unbelievable reduction of cost. The engraving for last year's book cost $1,500 and 100 times as many impressions could have been made from the same plates.
The University deserves the ad-
vertisement that the additional
copies will bring. The advertisers
deserve the increased circulation and they will show their appreciation of it by taking more space. It will mean the payment of more money at one time, but the estimates show that in the end the student pays less than at present.
The plan looks good. If it proves the best let the council approve it and submit it to the student body. But one thing is certain, something must be done.
ONE MORE DAY
There remains one more day during which you may see the art exhibit. It seems strange that students do not take an interest in these annual exhibitions, as a knowledge of pictures is one of the ear marks of the cultured.
Of course the time that remains to you is not long, and indeed is entirely inadequate for you really to see the exhibit, but it might give you some insight into the beauties of the pictures, however meagre.
Anyway, "Der Dumkopf" can't be accused of being a hightbrow play.
A BLOT ON THE 'SCUTCHEON Coach Hamilton, in last night's Kansan, confessed that the track team is not up to the standard that the University of Kansas should set. The reason, according to the coach, is that the students do not co-operate with him, and we believe that he is correct.
But a mere handful of men are out for track, and while there are some stars, they are not able to take the brunt of an entire meet. In contrast, Missouri has almost a hundred men out every evening.
And Kansas wonders why the Tiger seems to be our superior in track. A comparison of the spirit shown by the two schools answers, or should answer all inquiries concerning this.
Why don't the Kansas men show some pep and give Coach Hamilton and the track team a chance to beat Missouri?
This Jayhawker plan leads us to suspect that, despite its name, Skull and K is a pretty live proposition.
Well, doesn't Pan-Hellenic suggest smoke, after all.
We hear the objection that it is too much to demand perfection of the college woman. Of course it is. Perfection is not demanded of anyone. But consider this: YOU are perhaps one out of a thousand women of your city or state who have the opportunity of attending college. On YOUR shoulders rest the burden which they are not asked to carry because they have not shared the opportunity which has come to you. You must have high ideals not only because you are a college woman but also because you bear a responsibility to other women—a responsibility which you must not, which you will not shirk. It is only the steady guidance of ideals which will enable you to be loyal to this responsibility—ideals which are practical, sane and high—Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR IDEALS?
Have you inquired into the condition of your ideals lately—especially those which concern the standards of our social life and conduct? As college men it goes without saying that we ought to have high ideals—that we ought to stand unhesitatingly for the best. But do we always? Too often we are inclined to laxness towards things that ought not to be tolerated. We agree that the extreme from the eccentric dance "doesn't look very nice." But then you know it's really disagreeable to condemn raging very strenuously "because so many of the girls don't think it's very bad." The suggestive populism grows stronger at womanhood and the social relations of men and women finds a ready access to our homes. The suggestive vauduve act, although it may not gain our applause, at least has our tolerance and we seem to think nothing of repeatedly extending our patronage to the managers who throw this much into our faces.
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.

NORMALISM AND THE SCHOOLS
No Journal of today aiming to serve community needs can ignore news originating in schools, using that word in its broadest sense, and be counted either alert or broad-visioned. Likewise no school can be said to be fully alive to its mission in the community that does not face its relations to the newspaper and to all that it smybolizes as a rival agent in social education. Where there is an application to internet reliance against both of the agencies—and newspaper—the theories, methods and results of education from the kindergarten to the primary are given publicity by the press, and on the other hand the school uses the chronicle of the newspaper for purposes of illustration in teaching; it discriminates between sources of news on the basis of accuracy and integrity; and in the higher institutions it conceives as its duty to give specific training for journalism.
But what some land is guarded,
No star ever rose
And set without influence somewhere,
Who knows
Where earth's lowest creatures? No life
Can be pure in its purpose and strong
in its strife,
And all life not be purer and strong-

Recent reports as to the workings of the school of journalism at the University of Kansas show that expert aid on technical matters is being given to rural journalists with the same success that the state's soil experts make possible larger crops for the farmers. The Kansas school already is serving the state community in very practical ways.-Christian Science Monitor.
Here is the explanation of the increasing frequency with which schools of journalism are being established in both privately endowed and state universities. Lowered standards of ethics and vulgarized methods of publicity used by conspicuous winners of notoriusity as newspaper proprietors have brought about in academic circles a keener realization of the duty of the university to journalism. The imperative necessity of doing something offset rising power of commercialism in connection with control of agencies for publicity has forced upon society opinions as to more direct control of journalists, including such as may be brought to bear directly during the period of training for the calling. Hence it is placed at a place that last is being made in the circle of university departments for the future editor and reporter as well as for the lawer, engineer, clergyman and farmer. Nor is this trend made less significant or prophetic when it is borne in mind how political activities of the hour tend to increase the direct political responsibilities of citizens, who in turn are correspondingly made the more dependent upon accurate, honest and balanced journalistic service.
Says
The new school of journalism at Western Reserve University is to know no sex line. This is sensible. The sooner sex equality in suffrage comes, with all that it implies as woman's civic service, the more immediate the demand for a better equipped type of woman journalist. Again, the new school will be fortunate in its alliance with the Cleveland press, so that practice and theory can be combined.
STUDENT OPINION
AN OBJECTION Editor Daily Kansan;
I am writing this to you not because I want to but because I can help.
In your editorial of Friday February 21st, a farmer is quoted to the effect that the farmers pay the taxes to support the university and none of the farmers' boys get any benefit from K. U.
You reply: more than half our students are self supporting, therefore many poor farmers' boys receive benefit here.
My objection to your line of argument is this: it ignores the chief reason for existence of the university. This university does not exist for the benefit of the students but for the benefit of all persons who may need the services of physicians, lawyers, pharmacists, teachers of history, etc. That is, it exists for the benefit of the whole community.
Suppose that university education should be discontinued throughout the United States and throughout the world.
Our doctors would become worse than degenerate quacks; our lawyers would be more ignorant than many a janitor of today and, of course, mistakes of lawyers mean untold losses to clients; our railroad bridges if we were unable to build them if we were for engineers courses in history would be no better than courses in memorizing the names of famous brands of cigars.
Without the university there would be more doctors not less, owing to the lowering of the standard of admission to the profession.
Let Mr. "80 per cent farmers" get down with typhoid or small pox or break his arm. Does he send to some elderly lady in the community for a dose of sage tea? Does he have all confidence in a veterinary surgeon who learned what he knows from his father?
To ask these questions is to answer them.
Now is the time when Mr. X will receive the benefit of thousands of lives spent in laboratories and of the nerve racking slavery of me whom he in gayer moments delights to call "papsuckers."
If we must call names let us designate him a papsucker and ingrate who sneers at the men who preserve the lives of the children, relieve the sufferer in his agony and have time and time again literally restored sight to the blind!
A subscriber.
If the freshman inquiring concerning the University Exposition will call at the Exposition headquarters in Fraser hall at Chapel time, or on afternoons of Mondays and Wednesdays between 1:30 and 3:00. I will be glad to give the information desired.

SO TO SPEAK?
But Not for Bull Moose
A $8,000,000 school for Moose will be established at Aurora, Ill.,—not to teach progressive politics, but to disseminate knowledge. The purpose of the school is to provide free industrial education for orphans and poor children whose parents are or were members of the Moose lodge.
