The Daily Kaisaan aims to picture undergraduates life of the University rather than merely printing the news by stenciling for the ideals the University represents to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be wise-leads, in all, to serve to the students of the University.
TUESDAY, NOV. 4, 1919.
Uncle Jimmie Green, the best friend of the students in the University of Kansas has passed away. He was our friend because he was loyal to us. We were his friends because, from the nature of things, Uncle Jimmie was just one of us. His spirit never could grow old—and it can never die.
THE DRIVE IS ON
Nothing could be more befitting than the selection of the A. E. F. Club for conducting the Red Cross drive which started on the Hill this week. These men all received some benefits from Red Cross, either at the battle front, back at the rest camps, or at the ports of embarkation. Some of them were wounded in action, and received medical care and attention; others were supplied with little necessities and comforts. Whatever the service, all the men have the greatest respect and admiration for "The Greatest Mother," and are eager to repay their debt of gratitude.
Thirty million dollars, and the same numbers of members, is the goal set by the Red Cross. Of this amount, one half is to be used for home work, the money being retained by the various local chapters. The remaining fifteen million dollars is to be used in winding up the affairs of the Red Cross in the war-striking countries of Europe, for the bringing back to health of starving women and children, the establishment of hospitals, and for campaigns against ravaging diseases.
The drive, which is nation-wide,
continues until November 11. The
quote for the University of Kansas
is $1,500. The University never has
neglected to do its share in any
worthy cause, and it will not fail to
"go over the top" in this drive.
LANGUAGE LOYALTY
Oliver Wendell Holmes, said that the way to bring up a child is to educate its grandparents. But even when a child comes of fortune for bears the way to teach him good English is to require good, clear, accurate speech in the home.
English as correctly spoken by the American people is the most flexible and pictorial language in the world. Our colloquialisms and our slang enrich its dynamic quality without detracting from its beauty, when they are kept in their proper place. But we are a race of slovenes in regard
to our speech. Whatever effort may be made in the most cultured home contends against the school and the street and the newsreader.
Too many students are graduate from high school looking upon the required written English as a thing apart from their habit of speech. The junior university woman who was heard to say the other day "I never do know whether to say It is I, or it is me—as girls or we girls" is no exception, and a man who mentioned "a place where he was at" in an after-dinner speech emphasized the general need among our students of Good English Week.
doctor Jenkins believes that "cleaning our speech can best be done by the free winds of the prairie blowing thro' it." But it must be something more than a wind that blows where it listeth. It must be concerted individual effort in all our daily intercourse for the clear-cut vigorous thought that will be satisfied with nothing less than accurate and adequate expression. "K, U. First" should also mean "Good English First." No graduate of the University of Kansas should ever be accused of inefficiency because of careless speech.
A LOSING BATTLE
A DOSING BATTLE
One of the characteristics of our government is its close relationship to public opinion. Public opinion is a recognized force in determining the character of government. In passing the prohibition law and similar measures the government is merely carrying out the dictates of this public opinion.
For this reason, if for no other, the threatened strike of attack 09.1, Will I fail. President Wilson, in issuing his warning to the striking miners is expressing the majority voice of the entire nation. In the face of this public opinion, a small majority of radical miners may be able to bring suffering and misery to the big majority for an indefinite period but such a victory in the end will prove disastrous to the cause of organized labor.

Of old upon the mountain height,
HYMN
Subdued by deep and solemn law,
His face alow with unknown light,
The Hebrew seer received the law.
No maze of precedent confused
The foot that first on Simal trod,
the subject of this book.
The plain and simple law of God
May those who turn to this new shrine,
Both those who teach and those who learn,
As to a presence all divine
Bring hearts that for God's service burn.
Here, as of old, upon the mount
as of or on, upon the mount
The law to men shall be revealed.
The law to learning's christening
font.
Her chosen Levites shall be sealed.
Grant in our later day, O Lord,
Grant in our later day, O Lord,
That right and law may blend in
one
And justice show a flaming sword To every wrong beneath the sun.
On Other Hills
Members of the Grinnell faculty are to live in the Men's Dormitories this year. They are to have no authority as members of the men all have self government.
Ground has been broken for a new $200,000 engineering building at the Kansas State Agricultural College. The college finished about commencement time.
Columbia University's enrollment last year was 17,000. This year it is 20,000 making the largest enrollment in the world. 3,700 non-resident students.
As the day classes were not enough to keep the students busy, the Extension Division of the University of Washington has organized evening classes in French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Japanese.
THE RED CROSS PROGRAM
The war is over, but its wounds are by no means healed. According to official figures three hundred thousand families of solicians and sailors was the greatest number to receive Red Cross assistance during any single month of the war; but six months after the signing of the认证 this record was broken by the fifty-three per cent. That it will continue very high during the coming year of readjustment and realignment goes without saying.
In addition to its work at home the Red Cross still stands committed to the completion of its undertakings not alone in France but in Eastern Europe and Siberia as well. Its problems are practical and fundamental, such as combating tuberculosis and the feeding of starving people, the bravery of man power and the nurturing of sickly and undernourished children.
Part and parcel of the Red Cross program is a carefully worked-out system of preparation for disaster in a nation-wide nursing organization. Its mission of mercy is its end and aim. In order to carry out a plan of work that has already been pared down to paramount essentials, the relief campaign will open November 2 and continue until the 11. The object of this drive is two-fold: First, to enroll a membership for 1920 far in excess of which one cannot afford; second, to raise funds for carrying on its work. A large enrollment is emphasized because experience has taught that two million dollars from two members are better than three
It is encouraging to learn from official sources that the end of Red Cross work in Europe is in sight. We should not like to see this organization shirk any of its real obligations, either plain or obscure; but by the same token every consideration of wisdom and common sense programs contemning the permanent program of foreign populations; let them be enabled to help themselves; and then let them hew out their own salvation by hard, honest work, just as we have to do in America.
The whole subject should be viewed broadly and farsightedly, but not with that pathological faright which discerns glamour distressing three reasons: to be mistaken by the blind and is blind to the misery and suffering that exist all about us among our own flesh and blood—Saturday Evening Post.
