CURIOSITY PLUS ART
Forty thousand dollars is a small sum—to Rockefeller; but just think of of an art exhibit that is insured for that amount!
The exhibition of paintings on the third floor of the Administration building is so valuable that this large sum covers only a part of its value. When a collection of pictures represents such a large amount of money, even "intellectual" or "downright" curiosity seems to demand that the students should see it.
And then, aside from the curiosity of students, there should certainly be some interest in art itself. This collection of pictures contains a few masterpieces by modern artists. It contains work by our "home" folks.
Such an exhibit is surely worth the exertion of climbing three flights of stairs—and all that it's costs.
DISCIPLINING THE INTELLECT
Billy Sunday and Billy Bryan are coming to Kansas City hand in hand to read the golden rule and gather into the fold the lost lams President Wilson may have led astray.
How many students who graduate from the University of Kansas in June will know their worth to the service that they are to enter?
How many professors of this institution can label the graduates of their departments according to the relative worth to the service that they hope to enter after graduation? It would be safe to say none. And this is true only at the University of Kansas, but at nearly all of the civil education' institutions of the United States.
The average student who goes out of college has a most uncertain knowledge of his actual worth; and this can be laid principally to the fact that in our civil educational institutions we have no adequate method of disciplining the intellect in such a way that we can be certain of returns for the effort expended.
Recently the students of the University of Kansas "passed up" the opportunity to express their opinion upon the introduction of military methods into university life. There were probably two reasons for the failure of the students to take heartily to the suggestions: first, that they suggest "dreaded" militarism; and
At the present time the only schools that are turning out competent men of "known worth" are the military and naval academies, yet the prominent educators hold back from adopting any of the tried and proved methods because to the "free and equal" people of the United States, these methods smack too much of militarism.
second, that little or nothing is known by the average citizen of the benefits of military training to the mind in its formative stage.
In our military and naval academies the long used, and now generally discredited, lecture system is almost never resorted to. Classes are not overcrowded Each individual is given set tasks and he is graded and watched day by day to see that the required work is accomplished. The merit rolls are tallied each week, thus giving both instructor and student a means of knowing the true worth of the worker. Here seems to be a method of giving the student set channels along which to direct his energies with the least possible waste. It is the coming American method for civil educational institutions.

Who was it that told about the four young men singing a solo composed of twenty-five male voices?
"BACKWARD" THEY GO
In direct opposition to the populal fallacy that men are stronger than women, and more bold, comes the observation of a K. U. professor that the men in his classes are by far the most timid and retiring of the students. He says that the women are bold and fearless in contrast. This timidity on the part of the men is best shown in the class-room conduct of the students.
Humility, timidity and a general backwardness and desire to efface one's self seems to send "masculine K. U." in a mad rush for the back of the room in all the classrooms the Hill over. Any youth caught inadvertently on the front row is so nervous and uncomfortable that the instructor can but pity him. Of course the ignorant and uninformed may intimate that other feelings aside from timidity prompt this mad rush for the rear on the part of Kansas men. In some small part this may be true, however, the desire to bloom unseen is there, undoubtedly. Fortunate is the man who doesn't develop a habit of "taking a back seat" in everything.

By the way, who was that Kansas man who walked three blocks bare-footed in the snow, as related in yesterday's Kansan?
The Victoria as an aid to shining hoes is the latest. Practical shops save them and the owners say that their men work much better when they can hear "raggy" melody.
It is possible to give one a bad scare after he has eaten onions, but it is impossible to take his breath away.
When you get a professor corrent in an argument over some statement he has made, he will get out of it by saying, "Well, I meant theoretically speaking."
Any time that a girl asks for your candid opinion as to her appearance, she means she wants you to lie like a good fellow.
Whenever you get a man to acknowledge that he is in the wrong the rest of the world has a kind of a sneaking feeling that he isn't.
Every time a college woman sees a mirror she thinks that it is itime for reflection.
We can talk about the war once more. The scene of battle has shifted to a place whose name we can pronounce.
We enjoy the "animated cartoons" that are so popular at the movies, but we withhold our judgment in the case of "animated conversations."

THE RAH RAH BOY
Mr. Holloway urged the message of a "mill tax" to support the big state in the fight against deforestation.
The rah-rah boy who has no sense of proportions, who delights in making himself conspicuous in the public eye by his clothes, who thinks school spirit a direct descendant of vandalism, and who does not support another rah-rah boy who has a whole-souled devotion for his school, who supports its numerous activities, whose school spirit is based upon fair play and sound judgment, who perhaps lacks a seriousness of expression made up of mud, but why not! He is the spirit of youth. Ohio is the run type of rah-rah boy. He is State Lantern.
Arrangements are being made at the University of Iowa for a series of class reunions in connection with the annual commencement which will be held at the UIC campus next. Prof. Bliss Perry of Harvard will deliver the commencement address.
"I also wish to call your attention to a powerful ally of the Democratic party in Wyandotte County. It is the Woman's Democratic Club of Wyandotte county. This organization has already taken an active part in its members take an active part in the selection of clean, competent parties for public servants. When election day rolls around you'll find the efforts of these women untiring and unceasing until the last vote is cast and the party has taken an active part in having no such clubs can well afford to follow the example set by this organization."

HE BOOSTED FOR IT
The rah-rah spirit reflects youth, comradeship and regard for the college. Ordinarily it keeps within the law of its own volition, and generally it means much more than the more to the point of hazing, those forwarding it should be punished as any other criminals, but this is to be charged to the rah-rah boys of the worst type, and always with the understanding that it was not the rah-rah that injuring him, but that he deprived to deprivation was in them, and doubtless manifested itself long before they entered college. Ordinarily the rah-rah boy is harmless and an inspiration to good cheer. While he must avoid extremes no one expects him, at most he will be continually with solemn mien or sedate mien will he. Leave it to youth to preserve the rah-rah spirit.
HARK, H
"Why not incorporate the 'mill tax' in our state platform, and make a live issue of it? By so doing, I confidently have some twenty-five to thirty-five thousand more votes than we would otherwise get. Popular opinion will demand passage in the near future, let us live this situation and champion this pressing need."
"It is an extremely popular issue with those who understand it. If our University and agricultural school and other colleges are worth maintaining, they will require a state support. Under a mill tax, as will the amount for maintaining these institutions. They will be able to keep pace with the progress of the state, despite its weaknesses, tenure, they are a football of politics. The Democrats have always taken the lead in constructive measures. Our last Democratic senate received many appropriations for appropriations for these institutions.
Arise, Arise. — Shakespeare
"Digressing for a moment from matters of national nature I desire to call your attention to a matter of state wide interest. It is a proposed measure to provide a regular and definite maintenance amount for the support of our students now supported by the state. I will not go into the details and merits of this proposition, because time will not permit, but I do wish to point out what looks to me to be an opportunity for the Democrats of Kansas. Aside from the fact that a mill tax would be a good thing for the institution; a good investment in our state platform for the taxpayers, it would be an excellent plank to incorporate in our state platform. Some fourteen thousand students are now enrolled in the University and colleges supported by the state, two-thirds of whom will be entitled to vote this November. They will exercise a tremendous influence on the friends on this proposition, and every one of them will favor a mill tax.
"Out of some twelve hundred law graduates from our University, over six hundred are now practicing in this state. Every one of the one hundred and five counties of Kansas has one or more former students of Uncle Jimnie Green, and nine out of every ten favor a mill tax.
"Between thirty and forty thousand students, have attended these institutions, three-fourths of whom reside in Kansas and practically all of them not only favor but can appreciate the pressing need of a mill tax.
