Foot notes are the summum bourne of life. When properly punctuated, they are works of art. Then are we taught in some classes. Some professors insist that a paper is not a paper without its correct footnotes. In these classes, we learn that foot notes are useless in their natural state. They must be properly decorated and embassed with just the right punctuation marks in just the right place. A misplaced commen is an unperfect sin. The student must spend hours mastering the art of writing correct foot notes. He spends all his time on them instead of the subject with the result that at the end of the semester he can turn as beautiful a foot note as he could imagine. However, he has no time to learn anything else in the course. We wonder why such classes are not listed in the catalog as: Floor Notes 1, a study of their beauty and complexity with ample opportunity to learn how to create them. Foot Nortra II, only for those who show particular genius in this delicate art. Then some of us who are trying to acquire a little useful knowledge would not enroll in those classes. SHRUBBERY BANDITS "Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!" For Kansas is sliding-into the mud road clash Students who are in the hall of breaking twigs off our campus shrubbery and chewing them contemplatively on their way to classes are liable to arrest and punish, according to section 2531 of Kansas law. List to the following: "Section 2431—Treaspass—Any person who shall cut, carve, mark, etch or engrave—or who shall cut, mar, cut, or inure (any tree, shrub, or plant) to be burned, acult, or wildeen." And the following paragraph adds: "It is the duty of any police officer or jailer or inmates to arrest such person and take him before a justice of the peace." Not a bad idea. Our shrugs might bring materially under one's system. And bandits are bandits. if the studentsubs had soil-fertilisat quality in their make-up theugregressors would not need to cultivate the shrubbery around the entrances of the Administratorbuilding and Watson hall. ECONOMY FOR WHOM? The sections of the waterways bill passed by the House of Representatives directing completion in five years of improvements in the Missouri, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers has been stricken from the bill by the Senate. The reason for this action, according to Senator Reed of Missouri and one of the leading supporters of the Missouri river project, may be described as "hypocritical economy from the White House." We are all more or less familiar with the program of economy-my which the present national administration has adopted, and we have not been slow to praise our governmental officials for their earnest attempt to decrease our tax rates. Our governmental servants are only human, and it is much easier for them to spend money than it is to save it. The waterways bill had as its im mediate purpose to further transcortion through our inland waters, and in doing so to decrease the cost of transporting products from the manufacturer or farmer to the consumer in our own state of Kansas hundred dollars; would be saved annually for each farmer if he were able to ship his wheat from Kansas City to water, Pittsburgh, Pa., would not be the great steel center it is today if it had not been so located as it be accessible to a winter route from the cool and ore mines. Waterway are important in the sinking of our inland cities. Postponing the completion of the improvements of the Middle West waterways may be economy for the government but, it is not for the failure of manufacturer. And yet, if it is not economy for these producers it must be only "hyperscript economy" for the government. OUR RURAL SCHOOLS The Missouri legislature is considering a bill which will guarantee an eight month school year through its rural district. The state agrees to make up the deficiency in district funds under certain conditions, one being that the teacher is not paid more than 70 a month. It is difficult for us, who go to school ten and twelve months a year with some of the best educators is the country for our teachers, to imagine a school which is held only five months a year and taught by one person who has studied only a year or two in high school. These young children need excellent training more than any one else since they are getting the foundation for all of their future education. It is possible that inadequate training for the first eight years of their school life may hinder them for the remainder of their school life. This insufficient training in rural school may explain to some extent some of the inability of students who come to the universities. Missouri's condition is not nontypical. While educators and other persons are trying to in prove higher education, it is well for them to go back to the root of some of the trouble and improve the conditions in many of our rural schools both for the sake of higher education and, more especially, for the sake of those who will never have the opportunity for more than ten or twelve years of school training. On Other Hills Doctor Aydelate of Swarthmire University believes American students have so much initiative and ability as foreign students, and he is in favor of the Oxford honor system. At Swarthmire they permit all international students to work under the honor system. A special faculty committee books over the volunteers, accepting some and rejecting none. To those recruited is given a general outline of the history of their last two years of work, and they have no examinations until the end of their senior year. Then they are given comprehensive tests, oral and written by professors from other colleges. They attempt to find out how much the students know, and permit superior excellence in one field to atons for inferiority in another. Examinations often consist of ten or twelve three hour papers, so cranking is avoided. For two years the student must be most frequent, and not forced to go to class. Once a week the students meet with provisoras and other students to read papers and discuss the work for the preceding week. One Russian girl is registered in the College of Mechanics in the University of Georgia, where why she came to the United States for her education, she said that she had been influenced by reports of experimental mechanical courses at the university. Fewer than five hundred votes were cast in the last student election at the University of Nebraska. The Nebraska abekan continues this to be evidence of intelligence on the part of the students rather than indifference, since "students have a sense of discrimination keen enough to enable them to refuse admission to all colleges which have no significance and petition which have no prestige."
