FRIDAY, JANUARY 9. 1925
The HILL's business man confides that he often puts his mail in the ice box to keep it fresh.
Kansas should have no time in passing a gasoline tax. Our landscape is disfigured with enough filling stations and disregarded Missouri mines with gasoline.
--and precision. The ingenuity of the rhyme and the phrasing, and the whimsical humor of the ideas by means of which the practice of good grammar is exemplified at the same time that it is being expounded, keep the reader in a frame of mind anything but seriously academic. Yet the book's language is not reminiscent of good practice, and the majority of those who peruse the book will learn much that was not previously clear to them.
Now a story comes of a play that has had a continuous run for a thousand rights. It would have to be by the Passa, State Board of Censurehip, and everybody told that Kansas grows the best wheat in the world, before it could be produced bare.
CCMMON CARRIERS
Just as the railroads had finally to be brought under government supervision by the interstate commerce commission, there arises another form of transportation over which the public has no control. Buses and freight-carrying trucks are as much common carriers as the railroads; and, since they use the roads that are built by public taxation, should be subject to even closer regulation than the carriers that build their own road.
Just as we use two terms of Kansas are connected by a hard-surfaced rod at least one bus line begins to operate. "The greater frequency of stopping and clearing disability of stumping or tree canals make them very popular.
It may be argued that they work a great hardship on the railways. This is true, but the public is entitled to all the advantages which modern improvements can offer it. Still, there is no reason why the bus lines should not be taxed and made to pay a substantial part of the unoccup on roads which they wear out. The step taken in the resolution of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce is a step in the right direction.
The teaching of foreign languages by radio seems to be successful, but one cannot help but wonder whether the student might not confuse the static with the foreign pronunciation
THE PERFECT PROFESSOR
Now that exam week approaches,
accompanied as usual by 12 werry,
hurry, and flurry which term report,
extra readings, and other eleventh-
hour assignments occasion, what a delight it is to have a course under an instructor who does not believe in the traditional 12-hour bustle.
What a jyj it is to know that at least one instructor begins at the first of the semester in a business-like manner, setting forth the requirements so that none in his classes need have any doubts as to what is expected of them throughout the course; one who asks that papers be handed in regularly during the course with the reward that the last week be unharried by the heaviest work of the semester.
To the harrashed, worey-cyl student, an instructor meeting this description sounds like a character drawn from a fair tale, but such is not the cure. There is at least one of his on the faculty. Though his students must work with unreliable effort that is frequently, likewise early in the course, there is not much room for them to feel the freedom from worry over term papers and unfinited work when the end of the semester draws near.
It is not strange that a teacher with so much consideration for his students be thought of as "the perfect professor."
MUCH NEEDED LAWS
In the list of proposals to the legislature drawn up by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, one which is of utmost importance concerns the enactment of a law concerning the control of state educational institutions.
Already three members of the new legislature have assured the local chamber of commerce that they will cooperate in every way to bring about a change in the state laws governing educational institutions.
A question of major importance to us and our school is incorporated in the second revolution of the local organization which is for adequate appropriations for salaries and the maintenance at the University and other state educational institutions with due regard to their growth and development in keeping with like institutions in other states.
A need apparent every time there is a mass meeting of the student body is taken care of in the first part of the third proposal which calls for appropriations to build an ample auditorium for K. U. Other appropriations called for are to replace Snow Hall and to provide for other needed buildings on the campus.
The state legislature this year promises to be one of special importance to the University and to its future. We owe a vote of thanks to the local organization for calling the legislative attention to our school and its needs.
Frieda Hempsel and Galli-Curse have gone to England to settle the question of who shall be first in the world of song. We are thankful that London can use its Poorh to settle this delicate matter.
A NECESSITY
Senators Cortin and Gapper are calling upon the President Friday morning regarding the appointment to fill the vacancy recently created in the interstate commerce commission.
Practically every one of the three members on the commission were either from the eastern part or central part of the United States and have not or until recently were not in any manner interested in business
There is a great need that some member from the west, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado or Nebraska, be appointed to this vacancy so that a true and accurate understanding of the evils that now face western agriculture could be had.
From the eastern part of the United States we hear great reports of booming property, of unfilled orders for steel, of the demand for practically all commodities, but we do not feel it cut here in the west.
Corn, wheat, eggs and practically all farm products are selling at excellent prices but the west is like the man who wanted to buy Liberty bonds during their low prices. He didn't have the money to buy them with, and the west has no the crops. Certainly, evo failures make for higher prices, but evo failures do not make for prosperity.
Freight rates have been one of the worst evils to the American farmer. The transportation over several thou rand of miles of a bushel of grain at the prevailing freight rate, leave lit for the products.
It is to be inherently hoped that President Coulde will take seriously the demand of the west for a representative on the interstate commerce commission. We need it now as never before.
Book Notes
A GENUINE PAINLESS METHOD
Notily supposed by L. M. T.
Reviewed suppose there was a jubilee method of improving one's grammar in the form of a form of entertainment which could anuse us while, at the same time, improve our grammar until Charlina Virginia Townsend invented her Prisms and Prisms department in the State Department in the Kansas City Sunday Star.
And now we have her book, "Primes and Prisms," published recently by the Burtion Publishing Co., Kansas City Missouri, at $125. There are two hundred pages the most delightful of the verse in which the hard nuts of speech are cracked with facility

Miss Twentewend is the author of "The Kansas City Spirit," a serious poem with something of an epic mood. She won the National competition entered into some years ago by a large number of western writers. Her vocation is that of teacher and she also attended one summer at University of Kansas not long ago.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Professor Mann's class in criminality visited the state penitentiary recently. Do you suppose that if Mica Woofer had been visiting the place that day she could have chosen between students and criminals?
Professor: "And in conclusion, it is best for us to say what is in our minds and keep still."
