A. MENTAL CRUTCH
TUESDAY, OCT. 28, 1919.
Too many students use their notebooks as a mental crutch. Instruction in some classes has come to mean an attentive ear and a freely flowing fountain pen rather than a careful consideration and weighing of the facts and theories presented. It is so easy to become a sort of a slimgrapher and to translate ideas into words into a notebook without thought. Then when examination time comes, a few hours cramming place them into the mind long enough that they may again be transcribed into a quiz book and then straightway forgotten.
To get the real value out of a lecture or class discussion is to listen with the mind as well as with the ear, examining and concluding, and writing into the notebook just enough to think the same process of thinking again when the mind is confronted with the notations taken. The best notebook is merely a shortord report of what has been recorded in the mind.
EDUCATION PAYS
The school children of New Orleans have been informed of the advantages of education in a way that may well be expected to show results in increased attendance if the practice is continued. Pamphlets have been issued showing the relative wages of children who left school at the end of the eighth grade, and those who completed their high school work. In each instance, the advantage is on the side of the high school graduate.
"Boys and girls who go to work at the end of the grammar school rarely get good jobs," says the pamphlet. "The work they find to do is usually unskilled; it offers little training or chance for advancement. When they are older they find that they are still untrained for the skilled work which offers a future. Education means higher wages."
A table prepared by the United States Bureau of Education gives with startling clearness the disparity between the wages of persons with grammar school, and high school education. The child who leaves school at 14 years, earns an average of $4 a week, and this sum is only increased to $7 at the end of four years at which time the high school graduate enters the field commanding a salary of $10 a week. When 21 years old the eightth grade graduate is receiving only an average of $5.50, while the high school graduate is receiving $16. at 25 years the high school man is receiving $31 while the grammar school graduate must be satisfied with $12.75. His
total salary for the 11 years is $81,112.50, as compared with $73,375.00 earned by the high school graduate in 7 years time.
This whole question is of particlar lar interest at the present time when educated men in many lines are aware of injunction in the present wage scale of the so-called muscle workers, as compared with the brain workers. The best guess, however, is that the condition of affairs which is driving the teachers in our schools and colleges into unionization, and which is making the young men of the nation wonder if the advantages of higher education are real, is only a temporary condition. The situation may last long enough to actually drive the brainworkers into unionization; there may as a result be an increase in the number of plumbers, and a continued decrease in the number of teachers; conditions may get worse before they get better, but they will get better. From behind the disorganization of the economic system will emerge a period of reconstruction in which the educated man will be supreme. His service will be needed as never before, and he will be paid accordingly. American educational institutions will continue to grow.
Mental Lapses
"Yes, they sometimes launder the soiled money at the treasury."
"Can you tell me where they hang it out?"—Kansas City Journal.
"Is that poetry what you call blank verse?"
"I think so," anwere Macy Cainey,
"Anyway it reads as if the mind who wrote is was a blank"—Washington Star.
The Robber's Cave, a well-known object of interest to visitors near Aberystwyth, is to be sold. It looks like an old house one of our profiteers—London Punch.
Rivers had come home and was stumbling over things in the dark hallway.
"What are you growing about dear?" called Mrs. Rivers from the floor above.
"I am growling," he answered in his deepest bass voice, "to drown the barking of my shins."—Seattle Times.
-London Punch.
"Britain," says a report, "has asked the United States to send an army of two hundred thousand men to Armenia to protect the Christian inhabitants." While unable to comply with the request President Wilson, we learn, has intimated that any Armenians who succeed in escaping will receive a sympathetic hearing from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"How did you get so many wounds?" I asked the corporal in the bathhouse, seeing his body covered with "Accidental discharge of duties?"
"Naw, you see it was this way! I was standing on the edge of our trench hein' up against our burgage. I fell into the trench." — Everybody's.

OPPORTUNITY
Why, the best books haven't been written,
the best race hasn't been run;
the lowest score haven't made yet,
the highest score hasn't made yet;
the best score hasn't been put away;
Cheer up, for the world is young!
No chance? Why, the world is just
For things that you ought to create,
for store goods and for a manger,
are incessant and are inventive, and
if years for more power and beauty,
More laughter and love and romance;
more joy and happiness.
For the best verse hasn't been rhymed yet.
No chance—why, there's nothing but
chance;
The best house hasn't been planned.
The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet.
Campus Opinion
The mightiest rivers aren't spanned.
The choicest forests aren't fenced,
And the frogs and frogs, heart-treated.

Editor. The Kansan:
Visitors come to the University almost every day of the week because of their interest in it as one of the show places of Kansas, the school where you can plan your planning to attend, or for some equally good reason. Sunday is the day when the most people find time to come to the Hill and enjoy the many phases of learning at the time. The people of Lawrence choose this part of town as the most interesting place to walk in, and many drive from other towns near or far away, to see one of the best known beauty spots of the city.
The museum is one of the most widely known buildings on the campus. It has been read of and talked about as many times as out as one of the first places worthy of special attention. It is the most natural place for anyone who is interested in art.
his friends for observations of a great work carried on by and belonging to K. U. The various attractions to K. U. the appreciative senses of many people.
But in spite of these facts the Museum has not been opened on Sundays since the weather has grown cooler on account of the cost of heating the building. Surely the benefit derived from keeping the Museum open is worth the cost of a little extra coal. The temperature is always in waves in which the same amount of fuel could be saved without half as great a cost to the University, L. C.
RED CROSS NEEDS
There is no demobilization in sight for the American Red Cross. Americans are fairly familiar in outline with its war record. Every American ought to be proud of it, Money, and War. The number of quantity, could not have produced the war services of the Red Cross. Money alone was the smallest factor. A great quantity of individual human intelligence and enthusiasm was required. It took a period to some of the work which the world had come to expect from this concern and for which it was the best available agency. It had the organization and experience to do many things, but nobody else could do so well.
Of course there will always be an American Red Cross. Its morale ought always to be a wartime morale. Whoever is looking for a moral equivalent for war—that is, for an opportunity for an advantage to a high cause—need not be discouraged because the slaughter is over with. He can enlist in the Red Cross' bloodless fight to alleviate human suffering. There may be a considerable number of demobilized and unsettled young men who are more or less definitely looking for an operation. For an operative who offers them, for the organization's chief need just now is men.
As one of its national officers puts it: "The prime difficulty which we face is the one which the country and the world faces. It is to find men of the right experience and character to the work."—Saturday, Evening News
A preacher story told by the preacher: "Next Sunday I expect to preach about lirs, and will ask the congregation about things in the seventh chapter of Mark to a congregation. The next Sunday arrived, and the preacher asked all those who had read the seventh chapter of Mark to hold up their hands. About fifty people hoisted their hands. "Now they were about," the preacher, "there are only sixteen chapters in Mark."-Ex.
Lieutenant Maynard, the "flying Parson," may not be able to deliver a better sermon than his fellow man; he will do so with a stagedage of having been closer to heaven.
The course that does not call for a textbook usually calls for a well-filled library.

Some University woman who claims to be a supporter of the K. U. football team would win herself fame if she would go to Manhattan Friday night, October 31, date Houston, the Aggie drop-kicker, for a dance and then spend the evening stepping on his right toe.

"So many people want to advertise in THE KANSAN that we hardly have space enough for news items and editorials."
Says he to me, confidentially,
How's that for confidence?
And I'm just simple?minded enough to believe him.
As a matter of fact these columns are one of those narrow spaces "where cross the crowded ways of life."
Here, metaphorically, we are out in the by-ways and hedges also, where the folks are.
The purpose of this particular item is to COMPEL you to come in, to be so compelling that you will get the habit of coming to the feast.
(The last two paragraphs contain
n Biblical allusion! Do you get it?)
The feast is continuous, Sunday by Sunday.
At Plymouth.
