OMAR ON THE EXAMS Few and far between are the students whose minds turn to Oman's quint quintrils during those days of osseous malnutrition and cramming for the final exams. Yet, how strongly relevant are the verses of the wine-bibber of ancient Naishapur? "Wake," be clerks, "the whistle has been known." Why does the dawdle student outside when the quirks are prepared within? "And those who stand in front of Brick's are shouting, "Owen then the door; you know how little time we have till class, and once flunked, may return no more." "The thoughtful soil to solitude retires, for the bird of Time has but a little way to flutter—and the bird is on the wing.

A lack of education, both intellectually and morally, is the cause of such an occurrence. The state has not been able so far to instill the feeling of moral obligation into its people when like animals they destroy their own flesh and blood. NEGLIGENCE Another community has paid the price—the price of negligence. A family of three compose the participants in a tragedy and murder case which has been almost unparalleled in its grevsome horror. Harley Etere who murdered his wife and two year old baby face a life sentence in jail for his crime. His community suffers the stigma of the bloody affair upon its record. Saying it was jealousy that muddened him Etter made his bold confession of the slaying of his family. Gross ignorance and narrow mindedness are the only things to which the responsibility of such a crime can be fastened—if there is not a peculiar family strain of mental defectiveness in the On the other hand, if there are physical or mental defects in the family, the state is more grievously responsible for the crime committed. It has been far to diligent in such matters as marriage laws. Anyone today can marry unless of close blood relation. Even imbeciles are mates and bear children. The state fritters away precious time and does not guard against defective marrying until tragedy after tragedy belongs to action. So Etter goes to prison. The community is shoved in a cloud of poisonism and gloom and horror and the girls go on allowing the young men and women to marry without questioning their health, mentality or intelligence. Book Review The Editor and His People (Editorials by William Allen, White, audible, and arranged by Oliver O. Mahn, Macmillan 12.15 min., 394 pp., 48.50) Within the last few days Miss Reisen C. Mahin, associate professor of journalism in the University, has very quietly and with earnestness read a book about the read of record a book for which they will immediately be grateful to her. The Editor and His People it is called and it is a collection of the editorials of William Albert Ackerman, the editor of *The Fourteenth Gazette*, selves and arranged by Miss Mahin. The person who edits the work of some one else has too much the relation and the degree of recognition of the work of the author, dew of the audience flinks away on some one else has too much the relation and the degree of recognition of the accompanist, who in the general view of the audience thinks away on the piano while the soloist makes music. The instructed among audience and readers occurs currently subordinate element and sometimes even render it praise. In the case of Miss Mahin's editing one almost wonders at—certainly greatly admires—the management and intelligence with which out of the mass of daily expedition of nearly thirty years, the utterance of a man of martyrs from last summer, a man of great war, she has made a thing that in thought and final direction is almost a unit. One purpose of the book is doubtless to furnish types and source-material to students of journalism. But by the general reader any such practical purpose will be overlooked, and he will only receive a remonstration and Hitler—Kamau and twentieth-century, to be sure—the chief substance of which is common sense made pigant and sentiment convincingly homepump. Although all of the material has already been printed in the Gazette the most of it is novel to a large body of readers. For though we all know that we perform as musicians, Kamau, the most of us are too far from it to procure our evening news from the lines of the Gazette. The collection is in itself a romance—beging with the purchase of the paper and the ingratiating introduction of the young editor, the William Allen White of 1896. The preface proves to be a prophecy; the relation he forecasts is firmly established. You need no outside information, nothing but the pages of the book, to see its progress. You see general friendliness growing into very charming affection, ultimately into authority, heightened into responsibility. The touch of an older time adds to the romance, bringing back the day when the newspaper was the strong voice of one man—a Miss Mahin points out in her very fine introduction. One may wonder at first at the title of the book. The Editor and his voice one perceives, but where are the People? Editors have all the advantages of preachers, to whom the congregation cannot retreat. But you do not go far in this book because utterances are directed take on entity. They never speak, to be sure, but it is evident that they are always acting and being, and in consequence are being praised or children or warned or derided or merely entertained. They are a highly varied and clearly human people and between the lines one reads their everyday performance, the story of Als and John Jones—emerge from the mass and are paraded for their glory or their blame. All human performance—the Editor dearly loves the homeliness of life—takes on more vivid color and more quality for life. Official Daily University Bulletin FINAL EXAMINATION FOR PH. D.

We like every town better after we have read one of Mr. White's books. Miss Muhin has grouped the essays under different headings, the groups paralleling each other in time. Such beddings as Emporium, Saith the Preacher, Kansas, and in the end America, and The World, show the range of topics she has selected. From some groups look out the faded politics and settled issues of another time from others the more quips and cranks of the Editor's high spirits but one theme is persistent. Politics is not but behaving yourself is for all time. In years to come this volume may be classed under the literature of behavior and share an alceve with The Babe Named the Governor and The Scholester.
