PARENTS WATCH
---
Four years ago more than a thousand young men and women of Kansas bade their parents farewell and boarded the train for Lawrence on the Kaw. Father and mother had watched over them for a number of years in the home schools, seen them go out of the elementary schools up into the high school, seen them in their achievements and secretly prayed that a great name might come to their son or daughter.
In college a wider field was opened; wider and larger, but competition was stronger. Through the four years in college these young men and young women have been washed. Parents with admiring eyes have seen their once little boys and little girls transformed into men and women. Perhaps many sacrifices have been made while this process of education was taking place.
Nearly eight hundred of the original thousand have survived. They will get their degrees and will be ready to go out into the world to face the problems of life.
Father and mother are still watching. They are expecting their John or their Mary to be able to cope with greater things. Will the faith they have placed in education be justified or will the educational system be better? John, Mary and Mary have not made the most of their opportunities.
ORGANIZATION AT K. U.
ORGANIZATION of courses at K. U.
Organisation of courses at a broad, cooperative promotion and through education merits more than the causal consideration given it in the past. In the daily addition of the great mass and variety of new knowledge to our already large accumulation a systematic procedure must be followed if confusion is to be avoided and the cream of the new wisdom properly digested. A definite schedule of quizzes, reports, readings and the like might well be prepared by the professor of each course; this schedule to be submitted to the department head and on his approval be distributed among the students.
There are any number of students who would welcome such a plan as an aid in successfully broadening their education, for it would allow them to pick their activities and pleasures at time when there would be no interference with their school work. It would allow the student to participate in more difficult work with a reasonable degree of accuracy, resulting in a balanced order of living free from periods of excessive idleness or haste.
Co-operation between the professor and student would be encouraged, if each could respect the other and know the task before both of them. The student would not grouble blindly about and flounder in details if he had some idea of the goal towards which he was working. He would be glad, if he is of university caliber, to see and know that he has a professor who is prepared in his subject; one who will not become frantic the last week or so before the finals and endeavor to make up for the year's hastitude by extra assignments, readings, etc. Not nearly as much rush and frantic haste just before the examination week can be attributed to the average university student's laziness through the semester as can be to the professor's loose and unprepared courses. A well-prepared
course, or lecture, commands the respect of the student, both for the professor and for his course, resulting in a wholesome relationship between them should be.
Thoroughness in teaching the principles of a course necessitates organization. A great menace is the professor who, though well versed in his subject, has no idea of what points should be stressed and what disregarded. He has not organized his own knowledge to the extent that he can recognize the most important. He comes to class, an authority, of course, needing no previous preparation. He literally drains with unorganized information, leaving the student at the end of the course of confusion which facts he believes are obscure and which disregard. Organization of courses for broad, progressive education is just as essential as organization in business or engineering. It merits consideration both by the students and the professors of the University of Kansas — by a K. U. engineer.
MY CAMPUS?
"To whom does this campus belong anyway? Is it not for me to entangle and to clutter up my selfish whims may dictate? It is belong to you to use an active place for your life or a start."
"Iir flowers are now in all the Glory of spring blossoming, and my refish instinct urges me to pluck the most attractive to lay at the feet of the queen of my heart. She asks me to do it, and yesterday when I suggested that it might be wrong to take the University's flowers, she laughed at me and pulled an armad of blossoms from the plants.
"Of course she belongs in fall, and so do I, but why make such a face over flowers? There surely are enough of them to go around, and I should be permitted to satisfy my love of the beautiful, even if some do not like it. But this is the way self-expression is the very breath of life, and whose business is it if I excess myself by plucking flower com the caucasus."
This is the manner of thinking in dalked by in too many students on the Hill, and is the manner of thinking indulged in by in too many people who call themselves honest upright citizens of their country and community. In every day life those people whose selfishness becomes a memory of them themselves behind police bars. Here at the University we nearly乳汗 at thieves, and admire their cleverness at "getting by."
Opportunities for students at Stanford University to study abroad have been provided by a group of donors who have supported the American council on education he sums to provide for seven $1,000 scholarships during the year 1926-27.
On Other Hills
Sociology students at the University of Wisconsin have established a fund making it possible for several students to pay for their education take correspondence courses through the university extension. The men who are aided by the loans are expected to pay back the money even if they order that the fund may be permanent.
An annual intercourse relay is held at Missouri University and is by far the most important event in the sport. The track and field meet. In this event each sorority is allowed to pick a team to represent it. The team concludes with a competition. You can be either a Varsity or a freshman track team man, and the other three to be selected from men not reporting to the competition. A cup is awarded the winner.
Women students at Miami University must sign in the office of the university's counseling center for university dances and parties 24 hours before the affair. Smoking is absolutely forbidden and probable punishment may occur if an offense is suspension from college.
The R. O, T. C. units at the University of Nebraska were examined recently in a dripping rain by Liest. Brown Liaw and Maijin Martin C. Wise.
Cornell University has been presented with a $30,000 gift by G. F Baker for improvement of the chemistry laboratory of that university.
All members who will remain over for Commencement will meet to rehearse at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
All members of the band who do not intend to remain in Lawrence or Commencement should "check out" tonight, at 7 o'clock.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Now we wonder what use she would have of a home.
"Ford Buys More Relie" says a recent headline, but it's hard to see how Ford has his latest acquisition "to tinnierize." It is a part of the first water system ever installed in New England.
A real estate salesman trying to sell a home to a pair of K. U., new wedges. Said the young bride, "Why buy a home?" I was born in a hospital ward, reared in a hoarding school, educated at the University, lived in a sorority and then married in a church. I live in an apartment, spend my mornings playing golf, and my afternoons playing bridge. In the evening we go to a dance, a party, or the movies. When I am sick I go to the hospital, and when I'm home he buries me in a undertaker's. All we need is a garage with a bedroom."
It was at the Kansan Board banquet. The first course, consisting of lime sherry, had just been served, and the dresser was set up in the room, perspiring and out of breath. In conderation he viewed the dinner eaten the sherry, then
On a recent warm spring morning a professor was having difficulty securing any response to his questions from a very lethargic class.
"Is the dessert being served all ready?"
Finally he asked a question of a student who was sitting near the back of the room.
T. A. LARREMORE, Director.
"Well, Mr. F-, what do you think of this question?"
M. F — roused himself somewhat, and replied he had nothing to say. "Well, M. F —" commented the patient when you have nothing to say."
"Twas moonlight and Spring,
Said a moonlight: "Do you see that bright star falling over there?"
Another student said, "Now whose
First student: "I guess it must have caught on another."
BOOK NOTES
Frederick McNeil
"History of Human Society," Frank W. Blackmar; Charles Scribner's Sons.
The head of the department of sociology at the University has added another text to the list of his published works. This "History of Human Society" is a bird's eye view of man and his activities in the past, with a general survey of the social history of human society and hands down to us by the countless millions of men who have preceded us on this planet.
Specialization is left, for other writers; Doctor Blackmar spreads out the whole panorama of human experience for his readers and gives the background of the social sciences rather than any one particular phase of the subject. The book is non-tech-oriented, but the student subject and is a pleasure to read, even to the advanced student of sociology.

book is that "The nation that has the food supply of the world is sooner or later bound to some into trouble" and is "eventually doomed to the attacks of jealous and envious nations." Another conclusion reached by Doctor Blackmar is that "Only the utilization of material wealth to develop a nation will insure continuous progress." Other interesting statements are: "The material comforts which have
been multiplying in recent years do not insure the highest spiritual activity. The nations that have achieved have been forced into activity by distressing conditions." "Popular education is the greatest democratic factor in existence . . . , yet it has its own power to change lives. It times has led to the protecting care of all classes. What is needed is the cultivation of individual responsibility," "Today our struggle is to make our ideal democracy practical."
Future progress will depend upon a clearness of vision, a unity of thought, the standardization of the objectives of social achievement, and, moreover, an elevation of human conduct. Truly, "Without vision the person perish." "The "History of Human Social" has changed because of changes in sociology, and for those who have never had an opportunity of studying social sciences, it will prove a delightful source of authoritative information—F. McN.
