THE GARDENER AND HIS SON
A Gardener wanted his Sons to get used to gardening. As he was dying he called them up and said to them, "What is hidden in the vineyard?"
The Sons thought it was a treasure, and they took some to dig there, and dug up the whole ground. They did not find that treasure, but were so well that it brought forth more fruit.
-Leo Tolstol.—Aesop.
THE BASEBALL BUG
The Great American Game is now in the ascendency. Major league baseball games open within the next week. The Hash House league begins the season officially next Saturday. The fraternity and University baseball openers are already a matter of history.
The next University baseball game is scheduled for Thursday afternoon, 3:45. Be there. The team demonstrated the fact that it plays a good brand of ball when it defeated the fast Ames aggregation in two close games.
Baseball is typically American, and while it does not have the college influence that football does, yet more students are actively engaged in playing.
THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
"The eagle suffers little birds to sing."
—Titus Andronicus.
Who will receive the Nobel Peace Prize for the year 1916? A press dispatch suggests that William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson are the only persons eligible to receive the prize which carries with it $40,000.
The Norwegian Storthing, which holds the right to appoint the committee to choose and to award the peace prize, made no appointment during 1914 and 1915 because of the apparent failure of the movement of universal peace to maintain a foothold. During the past year America has produced three men who have taken a decided stand among nations through their activities to stop the present war, and to secure and maintain peace.
The Henry Ford movement has been unrecognized by either his own government or by those of Europe Many have taken his peace propaganda as a joke. The activity of Mr Bryan, though frowned upon by his own countrymen, may make a profound impression upon the members of the Norwegian parliament. The work of President Wilson will probably rank high in the estimation of the Europeans for having successfully avoided war both in the world sphere and in the western hemisphere.
Theodore Roosevelt, who received the peace prize in 1906 because of his activities in bringing about peace between the Japanese and the Russians, can hardly be considered at this time because of his ardent advocacy to hurl America's strength to the aid of the Allies.
A NEW "OMAR" TRANSLATION Omar Khayyam, the twelfth century poet, mystic, and astronomer, has come in for much favorable and unfavorable criticism of late. An Eastern professor recently declared before
his classes that the quatrains of Omar were anything but poetry; that they were merely the expression of a worldly, lust-loving individual.
There have been several note-worthy translations of Omar; among the well known and recognized versions are those of Edward Fitzgerald, in verse, E. H. Whinfield, in verse, Justin Huntley McCarthy, in prose, and J. B. Nicholas, in the French prose.
An Englishman John Pollen, has just written a new translation and a new verse. The Contemporary Reviews says that there is room for such translations as those of Dr. Pollen, and says of Omar and the translations:
*Edward Fitzgerald has achieved what is generally regarded as an impossibility; he made his translation an original poem that will live as long as the English language lives. . . . The writings of Gmar are exquisite music, but infinitely sad philosophy
. . . . He was one who felt the new materialism, who regarded immortality as an inspiration rather than a hope, and oly saw an aesthetic escape from despair. . . .
"Dr. Pollen has adopted the four-beat (hymn) measure instead of the traditional ten syllables. . . . His position was. . . . to repudiate more formalism in religion and . . . to claim from daily human life the maximum of reasonable enjoyment."
Of the hundred and fifty-eight quatrains translated by Dr. Pollen, the following is a good example of the verse used:
*O 'Sou!' from body's dust set free
now canst thou soa' in midity!
Since th' Empressain is thy home,
Empressain is thy home.
we shame in Earth's confines to roam."

The literary test bids fair to pass Congress over Wilson's veto, but suspicion lingers in the breasts of some of our good people that there are Congress who couldn't pass it simply as a test, remarks the Daily Texan.
"My love," said the beaver passionately, "will you come and live with me in my newly built house in the stream?"
For a moment the beaver maid was silent, and then, slapping her tail on the bank, she whispered, "Then I will be a dam for me, after all."—Pelican.

POET'S CORNER
John Bunyan was born in Elstow in 1628. He was a tinker, as his father was before him, but finally became a soldier in the parliamentary army. In 1653 he became a nonconformist and went about the country preaching until he was arrested under the statutes against that doctrine. While in prison Bunyan began his well-known allegory, "Pilgrim's Progress." Under Charles II he was released and made at Bedford. He died at London in 1688.
A SONG
He that is down need fear no fall;
He that is low no pride;
He that is humble ever shall
Have God to be his guide.
I am content with what I have,
Little be it or much;
And, Lord, contentment still I crease.
Because then savout such.
CAMPUS OPINION
Fulness to such a burden is
That go on pilgrimage;
Here little, and hereafter bliss,
Is best from age to age.

FOR MEMORIAL LOAN FUND
Editary Daily Kansan:
communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published.
I notice the Kansan is favoring the turning over of the senior memorial fund for this year to the student loan fund, and I am heartily in favor of such a plan. The sentiment connected with the idea of giving class memories to our students most notably, in practice the idea has not worked out so well. It seems impossible to collect sufficient money from any one class to give the University a decent memorial and our campus is in danger of being cluttered up with too many deceased geogaus which are of no earthly good and which only mar its beauty.
Much of the money that is collected is wasted if it is used for a memorial on the campus while if it were turned over to the student loan fund there would be no need for usefulness. We have at present less than $2,000 available for needy students. Ten times that amount could be used and the class of 1916 will do well to set a good example by turning their memorial fund to the cause. Located men and women are the best memorials for a University after all.

A QUESTION OF GRAMMAR Editor Daily Kansas;
Is it "athetics are," or, **are** "athetics is?" Five out of the six debaters Friday night used "are," "their," and "them." However, the New International dictionary does not recognize a plural.
I should suggest that the "Eh efficiency" part of the Efficiency and Economy Commission investigate to see whether or not the supply of dictionaries at the University is adequate. Perhaps some of the superfluous instructors can be exchanged with this predecessor volume. If one is to judge by the mispromiscion and misuse of words by members of the faculty and by students a number of copies would not be an extravagance.
PSYCHOLOGY, THE WONDERFUL SCIENCE
ology includes everything and psychology the rest. However, I don't agree entirely. While I do think that sociology includes everything, I think that psychology includes even more. There are dogs, monkeys, mice, chickens, ants, frogs, stereopticians, stereoescopes, mirrors, rats, pigeons, tuning forks, fidies, accordions, perfumes, poisons, beeswax, onions, revolvers and storage batteries in the basement of a university in Kansas; and yet the psychology department of that institution is comparatively small. No doubt, in the eastern universities, where the psychology departments are really big, there are elephants, giraffes, hipopotamuses and seventeen-inch guns but that, being purely speculative cannot be used as evidence here. Schoolly psychology tolerates no fictional statistics—look what happened to Dr. Cook.
But, as we were saying, psychology includes everything. If this is true, we can discuss anything in this article without diverging from the subject. If preachers who are accused of getting away from their subjects in their sermons would talk on psychology no one could accuse them of wandering—but let that pass. Of course the theology is included in pay, as well as in art, beeswax and other things; but we prefer to restrict our English this time to things with which most people are familiar, so—
The first topic we shall take up is "dice." Perhaps we had better call it "craps." Caesar called these little white cubes "dice," but people seldom do anymore. They call them "cracks." More modern examples said to be more colorful than ancient ones; so, of course, when Caesar crossed the Rubicon and called: "The die is cast," he used a colorless expression. "Think how much better it would be if we used craps are shot." In view of this fact we rewires our original wording and say that the first topic we shall take up is "craps."
A member of the anti-smoking club of this University recently made some "craps" out of Lenox soap. He borrowed my fountain pen to put the spots on them. My pen was so gummed up with soap grease the next day that it wouldn't write—but that part is unimportant. The important part is that he made the craps, and stairs, and began doing something with another anti-smoker that caused them to say the following things:
Ween. Shake eyes this time!
Craps, what's the matter with you?"
"Ah, 'seven'—crapped out—give me the bones."
"Come on, 'Little Joe!' "
"Come on, very 'Little Joe!' "
"Ah! 'Box Cars!' Come up thi
time, you little two! and little one.
They said a good many more things, but I didn't remember them.
Thus, psychology is a wonderful science. It teaches us how to lay the blame for our wasteful unwise actions at the feet of stimulus, association, perception and motor centers instead of charging them to deficiency in intellect.
The next topic we wish to take up is the subject of psychology is "nipinapp".
Of course these gentlemen were "shooting craps," there is no doubt about that; but why did they talk so much about "Snake Eyes," "Box Cars" and "Little Joes?" Dio Brutus and Caesar, when they used to stroll out on the Appian Way and so cast dice by the roadside, shout things to each other's faces about box cars and snake eyes? No, certainly they didn't. Of course, they were "honorable men"-especially Brutus; but the reason they didn't cry "snake eyes" other wise was that they were wise men, and no wise man will waste his energy rending the air, when it is needed to manipulate the dice so that they will turn up in the desired way.
That is the way an ignorant person would reason it out; but a psychologist would go about it differently. He would say that the mind reacts according to the stimulus. The craps are the stimulus and they stimulate the mind of the crap shooter and cause it to react. When this reaction takes place, the motor centers are also stimulated and so are the association centers. And the power of speech, being a motor affair, works in combination with the stimulated association centers, which associate the craps with the eyes to turn up, when the craps shooter shoots the craps, with the two eyes of a snake, that the centers of perception have at some previous time "percepted," and the individual crap shooter exclaims: "Snake Eyes!"
The psychologist would also say that the fact that the crap shooter exclaims, "Snake Eyes," doesn't indicate in any way that he is more unwise than the ancient crap shooter who didn't exclaim, "Snake Eyes." It merely indicates that modern craps are more stimulating than ancient craps--that if Brutus, the honorable prince of Rome, dug a olive tree and cast dice in silence, it doesn't indicate that they were any wiser that the 1916 model "Snake Eye" crap shooter, but merely that their craps were not as stimulating.
When Roosevelt returned from his tour of the West Indies, he said the affair had been a gastronomical success; but the newspapers said it had been an affair. He velt came back full of bananas and pineapples; but all the "vast and fruitful intellects" of the country seemed to think that he came back full of psychology. There must, therefore, be a subtle connection between psychology and social psychology; as there is mob psychology, child psychology, social psychology, animal psychology, husband psychology, wife psychology, insane psychology, idiotic psychology and fool psychology. There is also pineapple psychology. Yes, psychology is also mental psychology; for, as we said, psychology includes everything and then some.
The psychology of the pineapple must be something like this:
A man—say we take Roosevelt soit sits down on a box of tar soap with a pineapple in one hand and a pocket knife in the other. He looks the fruit over, turning it in his hand. The apple is covered with bumps. The apple has been shaken up with his big stick—the big stick that has been stored away in the woodshed at Oyster Bay for eight years. This is association. When he saw the bumps that was perception. The pineapple itself is the stimulus. The stimulus, the perception and the association together arouse the motor centers and he grips the pineapple in his hand if it were his big stick, and shouts, "Mollycodle" referring to Wilson. The associations and motor centers continue to react until he jumps to his feet and resolves to return to the United States, get his big stick out of the woodshed and with it break the political backbone of the public sentiment that demands a price at any price, and then assume the presidency, demolish Germany, shoot off Villa's other leg and build a navy that can conquer the world at thirty minutes' notice.
You see the psychology of the pineapple is really a significant thing.
Psychology professors know that the psychology of everything is very significant too. That is the reason they write so much about its importance—and talk about it too. They talk for hours and hours about it. They install in their departments courses on everything from monkeys on down to logic. Women's clubs are beginning to take up the study of psychology too. They knit sox for the sojers in Mexico and gossip about Muensterburg, Hegel, Henry James, Herbert Spencer, Kant and the Transcendental Aesthetic. One women's school, Glen Ellen, offers a course in the psychology and husbands. It teaches the young woman how to get to a husband, but how to keep him, bum他 and fleece him without letting him know it.
The cruelest thing anyone could do would be to undermine humanity's faith in this vast and wonderful science.
