The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, but more than merely printing the books they read at the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courteous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to have a positive attitude to the students of the University.

THE MOUSE UNDER THE GRANARY
A Mouse was living under the granary. It was a little hole, and "the grain cell" was a little hole. But it was easy life of it, but she wanted to bring it home, but she had no money in the floor, and invited other mice. "there will be plenty to eat for every mouse."
When she brought the mice, she saw
their heads up. They noticed the big hole in the floor,
and pushed them into the hole.
ON WITH THE DANCE
—Leo Tolstoi.—Aesop.
With the fad of having "pop" concerts now comes the latest in dances. The "pop" dance announced for Saturday night for Robinson Gymnastics is to be given a trial. It is to be given under the auspices of the Student Council.
Part of one's success comes from the ability to meet people in a social way. Many a man is kept from occupying the place in the world to which he is entitled merely because of his inability to "mix" with his associates.
CARING FOR WAR ORPHANS
The report of the efficiency committee notwithstanding, events which all K. U. may attend are beneficial.
The part taken by K. U. and other American colleges and universities in the adoption of French war orphans is commendable to say the least. The alleviation of the suffering and misery in the distressed French nation by the whole-hearted contributions of college students shows clearly the bond of sympathy existing between the two peoples. There is more involved in this the mere binding of wounds and the filling of little fellows' stomachs; there is the preservation of French ideals, art, literature, music, and drama. The spirit shown by the contributors leads one to believe that there is more practice than theory in the doctrine of the brotherhood of man.
The number of adoptions to date here at the University number thirteen. The lead taken by the local chapter of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, was followed quickly by other organizations in Lawrence. It is notable that in the midst of school work and social gayeties, students should stop long enough to contribute to a cause so remote as this. But it appeals to the American's love for mankind, and so he responds.
"One fire burns out another's burning,
One pain is lessen'd by another
anguish."——Romeo and Juliet.
WHENCE THE FLUNKER?
The flunking student is getting to be such an important fellow that the passenger plugger feels the nagle. This interest in the flunker has grown in the last few years until today he is studied as is no other candidate for scholastic honor, and his failures do not summon up "unspeakable scorn" but rather a fast developing interest.
A professor and his assistant at the University of Illinois recently visited schools in the state, tracing flankers back to their prep schools to see if the high school had anything to do with it. They discovered that it did.
The records in the Illinois regis.
trar's office of 3250 freshmen from 315 schools were inspected and it was found that "21 private schools with 54.62 per cent of flunkers made up the 70-class". These are the schools that fill the "educational directories" in the foyer of magazines.
"Schools with three to five teachers came next with 43.70 per cent failures. Schools with six to ten teachers 42.08 per cent. Then came the north central association schools 37.76 per cent; all accredited schools about the same; township high schools, 36.94 per cent; Chicago schools, 33.14. But the grand prix went to schools with 11 or more teachers -per cent of flunkers, only 32.54."
The investigators went a step further and endeavored to find what studies gave the backward students the most trouble. English was found to be the great destroyer, for 32.47 per cent fell before it. Mathematics, physical sciences, modern languages, social sciences, and manual subjects followed while only half of one per cent lost their way in ancient languages.
"Cursed be he that moves my bones."
—Shakespeare's Epitaph.
THE LITTLE THINGS
"Much obliged for the use of the phone," he called as he slammed the receiver down and hurried out of a down-town drug store.
"That guy's been talking over the phone to some girl for a half hour at least," said the business man disgusted. It was a phone which ordinarily is in use constantly.
It's the little things that count.
THOSE GOOD K. U. PROFS
Another proof that the professors at the University of Kansas are better than those in other schools, is the following want ad clipped from the Columbia daily:
"LOGIC TUTOR WANTED—A patient, slow-speaking, flegmatic philosopher, who knows Jevons backwards, and who can sympathetically inject his definite practical knowledge into an eager mind, too busy to puzzle out the details of this work in the factory. Student will meet tutors Tuesdays and Fridays between 5:30 and 7 p.m. State in own handwriting age, sex, weight and terms."
