THE FOUR-QUARTER PLAN
The University of Kansas is again in danger of falling behind other educational institutions. The all-year, or four-quarter plan, condomed by the University Senate has the endorsement of the leading educators in the country. A further investigation might be profitable both to the University and to the students.
President M. L. Burton of the University of Minnesota, Dr. Charles H. Judd of the University of Chicago, Dr. Frank M. McCurry of Columbia University, and Dr. F. P. Bunker of the national bureau of education, all express hearty approval of the all-year plan. President Wilson, Commissioner P. P. Claxton of the bureau of education, Secretary F. K. Lane of the department of the interior, Josephus Daniels of the navy department and Secretary of War N. D. Baker recommend the continuous school.
The decision of the University Senate, preceding the holidays, was based, apparently, on the showing made by the system last quarter. Whether or not the Senate members were justified in their conclusions remains to be proved.
Superintendents of public schools in many cities are urging that the all-year school plan be adopted. It has been a success where it has been given a fair trial. It would seem that the plan is as applicable to state universities and colleges as it is to elementary schools.
In Newark, where the four-quarter plan has proved a success, a committee of educators made a careful investigation of the system and submitted a report commending it.
"From the student's standpoint, the all-year school plays an important part on the economic side of a student's life, in that it permits him to make a greater advance educationally. Not only that, but his school advancement eventually improves his economic standing," says the report
Of the two hundred pupils interviewed, everyone enthusiastically supported the all year plan. Among these were students who said they would have dropped out of school through discouragement if it had not been for the possibility of making up work in the summer quarter and there were students who said they would not have been able to attend except for the all-year plan.
The more careful grading, the more frequent promotion period, the more continuous habits of work and recreation, were among the features of the quarter-system pointed out by the committee.
Alternation of summer teaching among members of the teaching staff so as to avoid overstraint and "ruts" was suggested by the committee.
If the University of Kuala Lumpur will keep up with life after graduation elsewhere by educators, why not begin now? We can at least consider the new plan from an unbiased standpoint. The unpleasantness of the last quarter should not influence anyone against the four-quarter system as the results would 'have been as disasters in a two-semester state.' If it too much to hope that the Senate will not condemn, permanently, without investigating and considering correctly the advantages and the disadvantages if there be any of the four-quarter plan.
The book exchange is still open.

ENFORCE THE POINT SYSTEM
In the eligibility committee, composed of University faculty members, going to determine the eligibility of candidates for various offices on the Hill before or offer the coming election? The committee has been in operation for several years, but during the past two years has not really enforced its rulings. Students have run for different offices, not knowing they already held the limit of points in students activities, and then have been notified after the decision that they were illigible.
There is no reason why a few students should hold every office and appropriate all the honors in the University. The Chancellor said recently, in discussing the values of the point system that the "woods are full of capable people." All they need is an opportunity to show their capacities.
If K. U. has an eligibility committee, it should do business. Enforcement of the rulings of the point system will eliminate the careworn student who spends his time at meetings, and give a number of enterprising men and women an outlet for their energies, and a chance to carry off some of the honors.
THE WASTEBASKET SPEAKS
I am the wastebasket. My interest is conservation—the conservation of waste. My purpose is to treasure up waste till I overflow and someone, roused from lethargy, takes pity on me and removes the discarded things I have been keeping.
Just now my sides are bulging with an enormous quantity of waste material, mostly paper. Crushed in the bottom is a letter Mary Louise wrote to the man overseas. It is an insistent protest against his "cruelty and thoughtlessness" in failing to write. Why the letter never was sent I do not understand. All I know is that it was thrown at me, and soon after another letter was given me, torn into bits, too small to read though not so small that I could not recognize the handwriting of the man over seas.
Here, too, is the wrapping of a chocolate bar, and a handful of peanut shells is scattered through the paper. A wad of wrapping paper, an old newspaper, a crushed pastboard box, a bulky mass of notebook leaves covered with notes on class lectures, a handful of old political cards; these help constitute my contents. On the floor just out of my reach is a discarded theme, flung hatefully across the room.
These are part of my assets. I am important; remember me.
I am the destination of a multitude of things. I am the laven of the poor, the ragged, the forsaken. I give rest at the end of many weary lives.

Out here, I was sick of the fighting,
Mud and dust of dust and death,
Pain and despair everywhere;
And desperately there;
A whole world of fighting.

Mother's feet been beers;
Hot biscuits for puppies.

One of the pleasing circumstances in the students' army training corps in the Kansas State Agricultural College was the character of the officers. Capable, honorable, and devoted to their work, they gave fine services to the government and made a place for themselves in the life of the college. The institution is glad to have known them—Kansas Industrialist.
Campus Opinion
"This Column is Open to all submissions of the university."
When the matter was put to a vote the result was 25 to 30 against the establishment of the training unit at K. U. Thus three members kept an R, O, T, C. out of the state University. is K. U., to become ancient and only foster those ideas that were taught in the days of our grandfathers just because the University Senate has the upper hand of things?
To The Daily Kansas:
Students who complain about the number of hours required by the department of public speaking fail to consider the benefits of dramatic work. They believe that a long week of try-outs every afternoon and every night, hard labor in the hours in between working out the characterization of the part, annoying reading to show off your own talent and that of the other contestants, and then six weeks of hard rehearsals, giving up many pleasures and getting lower grades in school work are not worth while. And especially when the final outcome is only three hours upon the stage.
A Student.
Is all this a waste of valuable young life? There is another side to be considered. The long hours of drilling with the cast and doing of things that previously seemed impossible for you to do, not only build up the character in the play, but also leave their imprint upon your character. You have achieved something, you have put your best into it, for you could not be in a major play at the. University of Kansas and not do your best, and doine your best once is sure to make big problems easier after leaving school.
What has become of the old-fashioned girl who wore military insignia over her heart?
The friendships made in working together on one big proposition are invaluable to a young man or woman's life. Mutually working together for one end brings members of the cast, the crew, and their families, to a close acquaintance. Activities of this sort are the work of big men and women.
H. C. Hangen, e'19.
What right has any faculty member to deny 'University students the advantage of the training they would receive in such a unit?'
The University of Kansas has been known for its excellent dramatic productions. From the interest already shown this year, this season will be no exception. Seventy-five students tried for places in the annual Dramatic Club play; nineteen women tried for one part. No play in which this much interest has been shown can be failure. This interest also shows that students value the training received in such undertaking.
Regardless of the fact that 1,55 men who are students in the University of Kansas petitioned the University Senate to institute a Reserve Officer's Training Corps at this echo when the matter came up for discussion, the student opinion on the matter was entirely ignored by the master.
To the Editor of the Kansan;
The students would like an explanation of why student opinion was ignored in the matter. It is not sufficient for the scrape to use the old stall "We did what we thought was for the students and the University."
The day was cold and the approach to the building was slippery. He stood and held the door open for her, although he did not know her. She replied "Thank you."
She was one of the two to be chosen for the coveted part in the play, but she sincerely told one of the judges that she would be the other contestant's good qualities.
He did not raise his hand and volunteer an answer while the other man was reciting, although he well knew that a man who was man was making a poor recitation.
He worked hard all year on the second string," knowing he would never make the team, but he alwaysave the "regulars" their one credit and went on practicing every day,eveling the hard knocks.

4. 11 HOW TO KEEP THINGS
An American story tells of a man who was asked to lend a rope to a neighbor. His reply was that he was insured by the rope just then.
"4 think I shall," replied the owner,
"I am I going to the up some sand
"Shall you need it a long time?" asked the neighbor.
"Oh, you can do almost anything with the rope when you do not want to lend it." was the reply. —Christian Register.
"He *up sand*!" exclaimed the would-be bonerist. "I do not see how you could be confident."
THE HOME TOUCH
The burglar had entered the house as quietly as possible, but his shoes were not padded and they made some noise. He had just reached the door of the bedroom when he heard someone moving in the bed, as if about to get up, and he paused. The sound of a women's voice floated to his ears. "If you don't take off your boots when you come into this house," it said, "there's going to be trouble, and a lot of it. Here it's been raining for three hours, and you dare to trump over carpets with your muddy shoes on. Go downstairs and take them off 'this minute.'"
He went downstairs without a word, but he didn't take off his boots. Instead he went straight out into the night rain again, and the pal, who was waiting for him, saw a tear glisten in his eye.
"I can't rob that house," he said. "It reminds me of home."—London Opinion.
