Chubb Says Knowledge of Political System Is Great American Need
Active Interest of People in Government Will Improve Conditions
"Knowledge of the political system hat runs the government is the vested need of the American people of this time," said H. B. Chuba assistant professor of political science.
"Many people consider it only necessary to know something of the affliction of the government and the human system. The human system has grown up outside the government that runs the machine of the government. It is necessary for public spirited citizens to be able to understand and check the work of political bodies."
"Lobbying has been done by special interests who have put their representatives in office or other influential positions in Washington. A business person, called the People's Legislative Service, with Senate Laffonti is its chairman has done much to uncover political corruption. It is formed of representation American leaders and is maintaining a pro-legacy.
"Books written on political science, until recent years, have been only about the mechanical organization of politics. The political forces that have grown outside the constitution. James Bryce's "American Commonwealth," as one of the first books to include information about how government investigations have, I believe, only begun on the 'Tenpot Dome Scandal.' Other things will be uncovered. Interest of the people should not die out because of the various papers that present different sides of the problem should be read. Only by an active interest of the people as a whole can we put our trust in the government to run as it should be."

New Group Would Have Charge of University and Other Institutions
Surveying Commission Advises Dividing State Administrative Board
An article in the last issue of the Graduate Magazine advocates placing the powers of the State Board of Administration relating to higher institutions of learning. The article argues that it has been more than ten years since the University and other state educational institutions were under separate control. For that reason it is accompanying analysis of the report by the U.S. Department of the Kansas State Board of Administration' law has much significance.
The statement is, "That, in so far as their power presents relating to the schools of third grade, Administration be rebuilt with a mid board of from to nine persons appointed by the terms of seven to tine years each."
The article explains however that the publication of opinion concerning the law in no way has any impact on it. It goes on to say that the present board is conducting its affairs in harmony with other vital University officers.
Many of the students who have admired the oil painting of a pastoral figure, for example, of the main reading room in Spinner library, do not know of its origin, or that it was donated to the library by it, the wife of the late Chancel Snow.

Graduate Student Criticises Picture of White's Book
Asks What Is Matter Witth Author; Appears That His Ideals Were Sacrificed
"What is the matter with William Allen White?" This is the question asked by Miss Frances E. Lahnner, K. U. 00, of San Diego, Calif., in a talk at the University of Texas briefing the film version of "In the Heart of a Fool."
"Reading the comments of W. A. White and Henry Albach—on our college students in the February Graduate Magazine—the same day that I read Langdon Mitchell's extensive quotations from White in the February Atlantic cache." What is the matter with William Alent'
From this introduction Miss Lahm mercedes to Mr. White's picture-ization of the school teacher in his film version of "In the Heart of a
Defends School teacher
"Does he think that by picturing a school teacher as a vampish villainous woman in the film version of 'In the Heart of a Foo' he is elevating the ideals of the young people? I spent a turbulent two hours watchful in "In her defense the teacher, Miss Lahsera who whole hearted.
"The army of schoolmarmas are wrecking their health trying to inquire into the lives of prescribed curriculum, and by that picture he has poisoned the mind of every child seeing it, and has made them more difficult a teacher that much more difficult."
As Miss Lahmer's defence proceeds, her destructive criticism of Mr. White's picture becomes more rabid.
"It appears that W. A. White sacrificed his own idols for box-office receipts. There is too much of what he deplores. Instead of criticising the institutions which do the best with the material sentiment—he should prescribe a remedy, which lies in the school boards back of our educators."
In the conclusion of her letter Miss Lahmer offers a solution of the school problem.
Spend Too Much For Stadiums
*Proof, Helen Hughes on "Valuing of the Present Day Alumnus" has well taken her point of criticism, namely "the pandemic of endowments and drives for stadiums.*

Thirty-Three Years Unpublished Article Appears in Magazine
Prof. William Carruth Tells o University Conditions in Early Days
For thirty-three years unpublished,
was the fate of "The University's
Foundation Days," written by Prof.
William Herbert Carruth, in 1891,
until it was published in the Graduate
Magazine for March of this year.
"The Graduate Magazine has been fortunate enough to come into possession of the manuscript of a hitherto unpublished article by William Herbert Curruth, written in 1891 and completed in first twenty-five years.
"What Professor Carruth wrote at that time has real interest to even the general public, is the cause of the opportunities for comparison between the past and present."
The article itself tells of Mr. Amoo Lawrence whose parue was the treasury of the Emigrant Aid Company and who gave his agent $10,000 to be used in establishing free school in the state of Kansas.
According to Prof. Carruth the University was opened in M65, although there was not a single student enrolled in college work pr. Those who had returned from the university would be asked to adhere themselves to the work.
"The first faculty," writes Prof. Carruth, "was dianaed to see the attendance of the first year drop two when corn planting time came."
Freedom, according to Prof. Carruth, was the keynote in the Gauss spirit of the day, "No one," and he dreamed of excluding any class of condition from its benefits. Education came naturally to a plower state in intelligent and brave men in the pain and sorbs of the planting.
"The same spirit led the founders to make the privileges of higher education in the young state fee to all residents. Until 1889 there was a nominal fee of $10 per annum, but even this is now removed."

Chancellor Speaks to Live Stock Men at Recent Meeting
Farm Bloc Only One Missing at Washington and One Needed, Says Lindley
"Science, invention, and discovery have more control over the future than all the other agents combined. What has happened for all struggling for," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley of the University of Kansas before the Kansas Live Stock Exchange.
"For three years during the war I was independently indirect for some of the cattle in Idaho. I used to meet with the stockmen at Spokane and Portland about every time they had ice cream for dessert, and they had hot chocolate for them during the war and I were very happy to see their prosperity. These times are not so good in your business. That is a misfortune for all."
Hopes Bloe Will Come
"I had a good deal of interest in the organization," she said. "I am pleased to every kind of bloe, I was in sympathy with the farm bloe because it was the only one missing at Washington and we are not going to get anywhere until the organization is complete." The scholarship shall be leveled with the strength and power of every other type. Then I hope one of these bloes will come to see that the interest of all members amount to the interest of any group.
"In Kansas we have the tragic farm, experienced in over 30 states, of a split institution, our agricultural science and our other professions in another great school. I have always considered that a great misfortune, but intersted as I have been in agriculture, I have always said that as a graduate of Kansas, training as it does men in engineering, law, medicine, pharmacy, and the like, that I am interested in the development to the utmost of a department in agricultural science is primarily an agricultural state.
Stock Improvement Important *
"I believe that a one-industry state will never be a first-class state. I defy you to build a modern city with the men and lawyers and doctors. Improvement of stock is your supreme concern. The best thing that we can do in the schooling on the farm is to develop initiative and the spirit of the pioneer. I am not blaming anyone but the task of initiative. Everybody is to blame and nobody is to blame.
"I do not know what the solution would be. I haven't the prescription, I am not here with any prescription, and if we are to have prosperity, we must master our responsibilities. We must face our work with the spirit."
"If in conclusion, I would be asked for a remedy, I would without hesitation advise the undivided desire to send all our children to colleges and schools that they might come in contact with inspiring teachers and high thoughts."
New York Papers Unite
Herald and Tribune Recall Day of Greeley and Dana
With the combination of the New York Herald and The Times, Tolbane, the old personal style of journalism has met its last defeat in the struggle with the newspaper as a competitor.
The Tribute, long the personal expression of the views of Horace Greecy and the artist James Winslow, was rused with a hand, have been purchased by Ogden Reid and be published under the name of The New York Herald-Idle.
Herald-Tribune! Such a combination serves to remind our parents and grandparents of the time when everybody knew the name of the editor, and followed his favorite editor. And nowadays by the followers of democratic orators. But only the name is left.
