READY MADE EDUCATION
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1924
G. ante? that some person still laugh at the arguments for education, has college denounced that he chose to map to the lowest type of echeating?
A few days ago a letter from a company which calls itself Commercial Research, ennue to various organized houses and individual students in Lawrence. The company makes the startling offer of doing the original work, typing, and research for any term paper or thesis in any course on any subject, for a small fee.
To quote from the letter: "For the small fee of $3.00 per thon and words we will furnish an original typewritten report on any subject done with care and carefully edited—and satisfaction guaranteed or your money refunded."
The idea of making such an offer to a student of a University, one who goes four years to school in order to become educated, in order to train himself to take his place in the world, would be ridiculous and aburd, if it were true that no student took advantage of the opportunity to avail himself' of this kind of really-made education. But according to the letter, the company has already helped hundred make better grades.
One wonders why the Competeer Rescue. Company didn't urge the student to send his order at once, avoid the rush, or perhaps to avoid a raise in prices with the increase in demand.
Such a company which is just within the law works on safe ground, but here is one instance where public opinion has everything its own way. We may make or break a Commercial Research Company, by honest contempt and scorn.
Now that politics have abo-
nuted down, it's time for one to
again start the run: that bibble
hair in goin out of style.
DON'T MIND THE RAIN
"Good weather for ducks," we swear, as the misty rainy trickles down our collars, and we long for a little anise buds again. We feel as blue as blue mint, and the weather man ones in for his share of abuse.
But little we do we step to think how a wontonous would be a life of perplexum sunshine. California, with its much tainted climate, has more suicides than any other state in the union. It might not be fair to say that it is due to its monotony; but the hypothesis is worthy of thought.
Anyway, a little rain, like a little
riddle, make life seem brighter
after the clouds have rolled away.
Since we've leazed that half the looks are still kept in Spooner, we in larger wonder why the librarians keep us waiting.
"THE DEATH SHARER"
If every time a man were lynched by an angry mob and burned to death, a woman became a suicide and took her own life in the same way; if every time a man went to war and killed his foe in battle, his wife or daughter killed herself, would war or lynching continue?
Sarah N. Clepher in a recent issue of the Atlantic Monthly meets the question foremost in the minds of the people of the world, sketching briefly a possible association of women composed of three units called the Death Sharps, the Life
savers, and the Associate Sharers.
She has written of the horrible death of the first Death Sharer whose body was found near the field where a nerve was burned to death on an ambulance charge of intent to assault. Despite the charred remains of her body was found a letter challenging especially the yappy happy women of the world to follow her example in the effort to stamp out the practice of death with utrial in the south. Of course the mass of people would call the Death Sharer a fanatic, but the idea is nevertheless. If wars are to continue, there will be thousands of families again beerved. A second time the sanctity of the great American bone will be broken by a figure of war, a sacrifice of death to every woman. "Imagine a young married man going off to war, insisting that his wife intended to institute by her own death, the death of the first man she could discover that he had killed. Imagine a general in the army having one of his own daughters forcibly fed while he was carrying out a positive bloodie against some rebellious subject tribe in Africa," writes Miss Cleghardt.
Of course the author's idea is fantastic, but it brings to mind a pain often forgotten during the early hysteria following the declaration of war. It is the woman at home who suffers most as a result of war. It may take a great world wide movement to static wars, and yet again education may do what movements might fail to do.
The professor who remarked that students didn't enroll in 8:30 classes were unconscious of what they were missing was about right, but he forgot to include the fact that most of them are also unconscious of everything else as that goes.
WORLD FELLOWSHIP
If there were no tomorrow, we wouldn't get in school today. If a famine came to seabound land or if diseases and pestilence were as contact as the health we have, we wouldn't wish for a tomorrow. Or if yesterday were a dreadful nightmare we were striving to forget and a monkey looked almost as black, school days would end anything yet. Yet education must mean something—everything it can follow students in the nations of Europe.
There students are forgetting the past. They are building on shifting foundations, and for a tomorrow that may never come perhaps without the aid of a helping hand.
But why should they be in school and not at work?
It is a question easily answered. Russia has unions, Germany has unions, and we have the other smaller Balkun states and Hungary. Many union men have families. They must have the work. Besides the student, are the future teachers, the educated leaders of the new generation. Without such enlightenment the purging of the old race will have no effect. The result will be a backward step.
Every little bit given to needy students is put in self help organizations where equipment is installed for the use of students who work for each other. Nothing is given free. The students are as proud as the wealthiest of Americans. They would not accept charity. They choose to build for future life on the former foundation of self advancement.
All of us spend a nickel here and a nickel there for foolish trifles. A large part of our money goes for our amusement, at all events for unnecessary articles or food which makes us gain so much that we talk about reducing the rest of our lives. Couldn't those nickels and dines be put in our own sacrifice boxes and given to buy someone daily bread? A European student is given food for one day for five cents. Into a sacrifice box might creep a little of the spirit of the name. To sacrifice a little is to give greatly for the spirit of giving in its truest sense in solitude felt by the modern giver. He simply writes a check and proceeds to forget about it.
Some of us weren't old enough to "Give until it hurt" during the World War. Now it helps us to help in

THE FOOTBALL GAME
-Kenneth A. Davis
(With apologies to Walt Mason)
While others watch the football score, and split the air with shouts, I stay at home and pace the floor and do the rabah boys and the college midfield fair who make this diabolic noise and then their flapping hair could hire a bean, or plant a spad, or man a walking pike. Or could they even mend a dug, or milk a Jersey cow? But, nursing now to think once more that I can teach them how that came and went before the students climbed the hill,—I know that I was young and wild, and used to whoop and shout, behaving like a wanna child. I often was without a single that of home and kin. And when the crowd was there I used to go on about it with virgin air. So now I say to all the mob that those who cheer the game will have a superman-sized job. And I will take the blame if, when the day's poor work is done, you find some subtle wrong in teaching boys to jump and run and kick a ball. And you must do doubts and take my easy chair; for I'ys must have their fun and shout, and girls their flapping hair.

Harry Jones came in K. U. for his first time. Following the course of others, he opened aacking account with him. Several months later, he proved careless by writing checks without funds to cover them. They were returned to merchants who called on him to redeem them.

Mercan and credit associations classified him as a "codebeat." He was rurned as far as credit was concerned.
Be careful when you write checks—see that your balance covers it. There is no easier way to destroy your credit in Lawrence than by writing "snow checks."
