HACKS The first time that a hack was ever mentioned in American history was when George Washington took one of the cherry tree. This was one of the most famous hacks in the history of the United States. There are many famous hacks at the University. The one most dreaded is the hack that a well-known committee takes with the eligibility axe. Students hate this worst of all. Then there is the hack that one charters when he calls for a cab to take "her" to the theatre. Or there might be the hack that the young man may get if he doesn't call a cab for the fair damsel. But of all hacks, the worst is the hack-neyed joke that our beloved professors springs. If you don't laugh at it he takes a hack at your grades. THE CHAPEL QUESTION Sir Joshua Reynolds says that a room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts. Quite often though the thoughts are inarticulate desires to see the artist, not picture, hung. THE CHRIST QUESTION Do you realize that about fourteen hundred and forty hours a week are being wasted in order that an average of seventy students out of three thousand shall attend chapel at 8? If the chapel hour was changed so that classes might begin at 8, much time would be gained for the whole student body. Formerly classes began at 8 and breakfasts were so timed that students were forced to arise in time to attend such a class or else had to go without breakfast. Now the breakfast hour has been slipped along, students sleep fifteen minutes or half an hour longer in the morning, and every day a half hour of valuable time is wasted. The health of the student body does not seem to have improved to any great extent by the few additional minutes of sleep. In fact students did not seem great physical wrecks when they arose for 8 o'clock classes. If chapel were changed to any other hour of the day, it is hardly possible that any fewer could attend than do now. Seventy students of our nearly three thousand seems a mockery. A daily chapel is one of the finest things that this institution has preserved. To dispense with it would be a disgrace to the University, but it does not seem just or right to the life of the school or to the students to keep daily chapel at an hour at which few students seem willing to attend Chapel at 10 o'clock may not have been successful in the past, but it could scarcely be any less successful than chapel has been at 8 o'clock this year. Even if no more students attended than do now, still a half hour would be saved by forcing students to arise a few minutes earlier each morn Some of the faculty do not believe that chapel at 10 o'clock would be a success. The Daily Kansan is not sure that it would be any more of a success than it is at present, but the University as a whole would save a great deal of valuable time. ing for classes. Whether students attended chapel or studied, the fourteen hundred and forty hours would be saved. If the student body is in favor of changing the chapel hour, the Kansan requests that it make note of the fact upon the chapel cards or through the communication boxes of the Kansan. And no one has mentioned a Spring Poetry Contest yet? Lest someone beat me to it I will start the Spring Poetry Contest on the right track with the following: Spring has came, The snow has went, It was not did By accident. —Io Speed As a closing number let us all rise and join in singing "Dearie fetch the ladder, I want to comb the Chancy's hair." In this Vanity Fair contest what we want is more of the latter and not the former. Send the Daily Kansan home. A PENNY SAVED— "Yes," said Mrs. Wud, B. Hibrush to her neighbor, "Robertson was certainly fint in 'Omlet.' And I thought Miss Forbes played the part of 'Orpheum' exceptionally well, too." Fads are a part of every American's life. The fad may be—neckties or it may be golf. Just now there is a fad to save money, a tendency which seems likely to grow into a habit. If this high cost of "moving" be not the only poor one in Lawsuits, When France had to pay a high indemnity after the war of 1870 she did it by teaching her people to save and as a result she became the banker for half of Europe before the present war broke out. A similar change seems to be taking place in the United States. When the war started Wall Street said, "slow up." Capitalists and laborers became frightened and everyone began to talk economy. People preferred to wear out their shoes rather than seem extravagant. "Frivolis" were cut out, and pleasure trips to Europe were postponed indefinitely. —Lo Speed. The result of these self denials is obvious. Even the pessimist will acknowledge that the United States is prospering. This, the most extravagant country in the world, is now setting the pace in saving. We are becoming rich. The national banks last year totaled a half million greater savings than in any previous year. Today this country has two billions of gold on hand, which is five times the whole world's annual production. We have loaned a billion dollars to the outside world. It was neither the million dollar war order from Europe nor was it Wall Street that made us the bankers of the world. Our present financial status is the result of the small investor putting his weekly earnings into good securities. The old adage, "It's not what you make but what you save," has at last been heeded. This step toward self denial is undoubtedly one of the most timely and commendable movements that Americans have ever made. The more the better, as long as it in no way discounts the future. If saving is only a bad, it is to be hoped that it may develop into a habit. Jayhawk Squawks A news dispatch explains that, although she is married to a man named Armadillo Graba, Mary Annette Grabaen name. Her judgement is good. No, Geraldine, the Rev. Mr. Poe who spoke at the Presbyterian church, claims no relationship with the gentleman of that name who wrote "Confessions of an Opium Eater." We asked him. As a result of the recent advertising campaign, it is now estimated that fully 83 per cent of the students know that we have a morning chapel. Fluency, accuracy, concreteness and power are the real assets in one's knowledge of English, and, if they have received a good school study to be lightly put aside? Accuracy in the use of sixty-six per cent of our English words can be gained most surely by the mastery of the Latin root. Are you confused with "continuum" or "effect"? Have you ever been guilty of directing one to "endorse" a document upon its face? Can you distinguish at once between "centripetal" and "centrifugal"—"alumnae" and "alumnae". Try Latin as a remedy. Have you ever noticed how limited your boy's vocabulary is? How little power he seems to show in selecting English words? Perhaps this is because no study he is taking makes him aware that there are many words not yet covered in English words. If he were a student of Latin he would soon learn to know that "magnus" does not always mean "great," but that he must discriminate in choosing the English word according to the noun modified for example: "Spees magna"—high hope; "silentum magnum"—deep silence; "subsidium magnum"—deep institution; "dolor magnus"—intense pain. But proficiency in English means more than fluency and accuracy; it means the power to be concrete. Is it not worth while for the politician to use a possessive pronoun "trust"—if he shows opposition—or, as the Latin puts it, "kicks back"? What an interesting adjective "gregarious" is, when applied to the "crowd man," or perhaps you do the same with "herd" or "arius"—belonging to. With practically its very life dependent upon the prosperity of its alien population, the time has come when New York must take into consideration the fact that the educator in such schools who patronize her evening schools is as important as any work of enlightenment with which she is charged. The principal fault lies with the Board of Education and men who are in charge of the City's affairs, which were passed by the Board of Education, and sanctioned by the Mayor and City Council, which affected upward of 25,000 school children, a large number of night schools. Unusual as it may seem New York City has inadequate means of educating its poorer classes. The recent demonstration of five thousand men, women and children, marching through the heart of the city and clamoring for better education has clearly been clearly that the Metropolis has failed to solve the problem of its foreign population. SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK "How did these beautiful rainbow tints get into the shell of the fresh water clam, buried in the mud at the bottom of our dark river?" "Stick by your family, boy; forget you have a self, while you do everything for them. Think of your home, boy; write and send, and talk nearer to your thought, the farther you have to travel from it; and rush back to it when you are free. And for your country, boy," and the words rattled in his throat, "and for that flag," and he pointed to the service as she did dream of serving her as she did men, through the service carry you through a thousand terrors. No matter what happens to you, no matter who flatters you or abuses, you never look at another flag, never let a night pass but you pray God to allow you to be safe, that behind all these men you have to do with—behind officers, and government, and people even,—there is the Country Herself, your Country, and that you belong to Her as you belong to your own mother; and that belongs to you stand by your mother."—From the "Man Without a Country," by Edward Everett Hale. And now the Board of Education reduces the appropriations by one million dollars, because it deems it a 'comp-for' the city's best interests." FOUND IN A BOOK New York's Evening Schools are of three kinds: elementary, trade and high. According to figures by the Department of the Association of Evening School Alumni, eighty per cent of the night school students are foreign born and attend the institutions primarily to learn the English language.

St. "I have spent $8.00 advertising in the University Daily Kansan in the last two weeks and know positively, that I have obtained fifteen regular customers for my shop as a result. Fifty cents a new customer sounds good to me. I didn't know anything about writing advertisements, but the Kansan boys have helped me. Every day, the man who writes my ads comes into the shop and talks over the next day's copy with me. That is what I call "ADVERTISING SERVICE." I am making every attempt to have the SERVICE in my shop as efficient as the Kansan's. That is why I am going to hold my new customers."
