STRIKING THE BALANCE
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1924
Seldom does one find a public man whose word carries weight, praising the modern youth's morals. The Rev. Daniel Evans of Harvard Theological school, in a sermon recently delivered, took up the cudgelling for the young people of today declaring that they are not as bad as their elders think they are.
He acknowledges that there are some noisy and boisterous ones who give the impression that they are by far the greater proportion of young people who conduct themselves in reprehensible manner. But these are in the minority. He claims that modern youths are just as conventional, quiet and unaffirmative as their parents and grand-parents, and that these take their place and do their tasks just as well.
Mr. Evans believes that these constitute a class which has caught the modern spirit, and who are more important than any others from the influence they will wield, and more significant from the questions they ask, and more worthy the consideration of their elders from their moral attitude.
It is this body of young people who really are representative of this age, because they are individual, independent, and feel they can live their own lives, to be voices and not echoes; originals and not copies.
Many critics forget that times and ideas are changing very rapidly. Moral standards are changing also and not for the worse. At times it seems as though the change is not apparently conducive to higher standards of living. It will ultimately be found that while many are manifesting the same lack of morality which their fathers before them manifested, but more openly, the general moral tone of the youth today is in advance of that in decades gone.
The world is progressing along lines of moral and spiritual achievement as well as along lines of mechanical accomplishments.
THAW IS DECLARED SANE
As long as the average young man or young woman can remember, there
always been one man in the limelight. This man is Harry K. Thaw the slayer of Stanford White. newspapers have printed thousands of columns about the notorious millionaire for almost a score of years, but what it all amounted to in the end? The name of Thaw is known from one end of the United States to the other as the man who tried for years to keep out of the pen and when no other course was left but the bars, he chose the innasy冒汗 instead. Suppose all the space given to Harry Thaw was devoted to a cleanup campaign. The United States would look like a garden. Had it been used to urge scientific farming the world would be richer by millions. There are a thousand things that could have happened if the space had been devoted to them. But Thaw got the publicity and he wasn't worth the paper it was broadcast upon. The public demands such trash as was reeled off about the blackguard, and the public got it. The better things were saved for some other day.
PLAY BALL
Friday of this week the University of Kansas will open the 1924 valley baseball season with the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan. For three years, K. U. has been at the top of the valley ladder. Prospects this year are not overly bright, but Coach Clark has a fighting aggregation.
The students of the University can help Coach Clark immensely if they will back this team to the limit whether they win or lose. The team received a severe blow when Armstrong, star second baseman, was injured, but it made them more determined. The students should turn out to watch practice more than they do; for these men are depriving themselves of the good times of the University to uphold the Crimson and the Blue.
"Klan Illegal in Kansas." That may be true. Several things are illegal in Kansas, but they still function to good advantage.
With the opening of the baseball season comes the open season for office boys grandmothers' funerals.

On the twelfth of this month will be celebrated the birthday anniversary of a man whose name is written with the world's greatest names, one who is ranked second of the great men of our nation, but one who, without a doubt, had a character that, at least, equals any in modern history. Everyone knows what he was as president, yet kind, thoughtful, and cheerful, always thinking of others and never of himself.
At the age we are most interested in, the age that we are passing through now, Abraham Lincoln was thought just a little queer. It is true that he was popular among the educated men of his time but what would you think of a boy in our school who worked in a downtown store walking to Brownton or Haverhill to return six cents that he had got from accidentally short-changing some farmer's wife? You might say "you were out," and that was some people's opinion of Lincoln.
Official Daily University Bulletin
LECTURE ON CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE;
But that did not bother Lincoln much, for he knew he was right, and he had the courage to do the right thing. Today we see his image stamped on our coins and his statues and memorials in our larger cities, while his scion carried in the graveyard of some famous foes, forgotten by time. Today, because of him our nation is a nation and democracy is the creed of the people. God give us more queer men.
The next lecture in the course on Contemporary Literature for Freshmen will be given by Mr. Jawalow, in room 206, Fraser, at 4:30 Thursday, April 15th. A full course of lectures is available online.

Why work overtime?
The student who works overtime is often the one who, for some reason, is not truly efficient. The almost imperceptible slowing-down of his thinking necessitates spending more time and labor on his work.
Post's Bran Flakes, while retaining all the natural properties of bran, have a rich, appetizing flavor that is deliciously different. Crisp, crunchy, and nut-brown. Post's Bran Flakes appeal to the most critical.
It is a surprising fact that much of this inefficiency is due to a slight neglect in eating. Many people do not realize that all the healthful, nutritive and laxative properties of whole wheat bran can be secured in a really tempting breakfast dish.
To satisfy your taste and your reason, try Post's Bran Flakes for tomorrow's breakfast. You will be treating yourself to a pleasant surprise, and storing up hours, not for "overtime," but for recreation.
