Natural Desire
Youth's Tendency to Make Moral Judgments Is Conducive to Sincerity
"The desire for a good life is natural in all human beings," declared Dr. Albert Pitch in his speech in room 3501 of the construction building Thursday afternoon.
"The majority of murder is always trying to do better in life's struggles," he continued. "The greatest desire the youth has is to make moral judgments, while the older generation tends to let their conscience be their guide. The youth creates in their own time that is sincere for the goodness."
All of us hate moral discipline, according to Doctor Fitch. He said, "Man has made laws in the course of his development, by which the foundation of our national civilization has been built upon. As soon as man gives himself future, there will be only a short time before his marshal will also disappear.
"Goodness is not an easy thing for man to choose, because it is not like something that is distinctly before us. Goodness will not tell us choose the good, but the best."
According to the speaker, the fundamental duty of the student is to get his lessons, and unless a student fails them he is not allowed. This is a drag on the school. The second duty of the student which Doctor Fitch gave is to learn tolerance. "Before a great display of character is shown by a student, allow tolerance toward each other."
Doctor Fitz spike in the afternoon because of the condition of the weather. An open forum was held after the meeting.

Teacher Training Is Much Increased in Recent Years
Personal Observation and Experience of Johnson Responsible for Statistics
Teachers Perfect Training
"Three and seven-tenths of all the high schools have made an attempt to perfect their training while in service by attending colleges or universities," said Professor Johnson.

Professor Johnson is assistant director of the administrative committee of the University of Kansas summer session and therefore in charge of most of his duties. He has obtained much of his information concerning the training of teachers from his own experiences at the University.

"The University of Minnesota takes the lead in the number of leaves of absences granted to their instructors during this five year period. The University of Nebraska ranks second in this list."

Whether they were or not has not been determined, but at any rate the "Gee! haw!" really did echo in the frosty night air, and there are evidences of a passing snow plow along several campus walks.
"Goe! Haw! Hurry on, there!" And the story goes that after the storm had abashed a pair of oxen, yellow and all, were seen to wind their way about.
The good work was continued this morning with scoop and shovel, and as the warty juniors heaved in their teeth, the parents, just their teeth chattering, and bringing down imminent upon the head of silkworm owls who had failed to eat them.
So the entire morning was filled with the echoing ring of shovels, the squash of wet feet and the occasional hum and grief of laboring lobstery care.
