God, Parents and Instructors can never be required—Poor Richard Ickes.
WEVE GAINED SOMETHING ANYWAY
Pringle, you are coming home without apparently having accomplished anything. In the eyes of the world at large the Ford Peace expedition has been a failure. But you never can tell. The ripples may reach shores that Mr. Ford didn't think about at all.
A number of universities that were asked to send representatives on the expedition, declined to do so. It may be that they were right in refusing. But for the University of Kansas it was a good thing to have sent a representative. We have followed you on your trip. Pringle, we have taken a greater interest in the expedition because we were represent in it, and through the expedition we have taken a keeper interest in the whole peace movement.
movement.
Our horizon has been widened just a little bit more through the interest we have taken in the affairs of the world, so we don't feel that it was a waste of time and energy for you to have made this trip. As far as the peace movement is concerned, the expedition may have been a failure, but as far as the University of Kansas is concerned it achieved some end. Don't feel discouraged, Pringle. No energy is absolutely lost.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Will that old suit go to Abe and Mawruss, or to a shivering refugee in Belgium?
WHAT DO YOU THINK? University students in the United States are taking an active interest in military drill. They are expressing their opinions of compulsory training, either through discussion or by accepting drill in their University courses.
Many of the larger universities and colleges have taken up the matter and have asked to be allowed to introduce drill. Others have expressed their willingness to offer military training as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made with the government. Numbers of schools over the country are already active in training undergraduate men in the rudiments of army life.
It is a serious question, and one that should be given serious consideration. If the United States should be forced into war, would Kansas men who have had no training, take their places among those men who have had several years of discipline under competent officers, or would they be placed, along with uneducated recruits—in the awkward squad? With but few officers, would not a student showing ability in his school drill be given a commission should it be necessary to create an army of volunteers?
Would the training of men at the University of Kannas, being war any
sooner than it might come otherwise, or would it put off any farther, the universal peace which we all hope will come some day? Would drill, the ability to obey a command promptly without asking why, and the feeling of loyalty to the flag which military training inspires benefit the men of the University of Kansas, if war should never come?
This question of military training in universities and colleges has become so general that it seems as though it should command some attention from the University of Kan- 395.
WITHOUT A WORD
When Irving Bachelier arose and began to arrange chairs on the platform in order that his large audience might all be seated in so far as it was possible, he made an unconscious appeal to our sense of democracy that won the student body before he had spoken a word.
It is a queer thing, this feeling of democracy. As Americans we cannot help being won over by a delicate, unconscious appeal to our belief that we are all equal. And yet to an ostentation appeal to that same feeling, we would be harshly critical.
Here'e to you, Irving Bacheller!
DOING THINGS TO OLD SHAKE
This is A Winter's Tale, as it was told to the Daily Kansan by Troilus and Cressida. Romeo and Juliet were two lovers, he A Merchant of Venice, and she, the daughter of Coriolanus. The courtship was like A Midsummer Night's Dream. When he begged her to marry him, she said, "Let it be As You Like It." So they were married on Twelfth Night. She was attended by the Merry Wives of Windsor, and he by Two Gentlemen of Verona. The music was furnished by a Cymbalie. They went to live in a Hamlet. Once her husband discovered that she had a temper like The Tempest, and that she would make Much Ado About Nothing. He decided to begin the work of the Taming of the Shrew. It was no easy job, for every time, she gave him Measure for Measure. At last she grew repentant, and said that her behavior had been just A Comedy of Errors, and that she wanted to begin again, so that their life would not be Love's Labors Lost. He took her in his arms, and kissed her as he said, "All's Well That Ends Well."
People who didn't know that they could pigeon-walk found themselves doing it around the slippery corners yesterday. "It's either that or the glide," is the way one fellow put it. Another 'lowed how everything was musical' - it was either look sharp or B flat.
Just east of the Fraser Hall steps is a little stone with the inscription, "Site of barracks and trenches, 1863." Here is an opportunity for some ingenious chap to write a little account entitled "When Mt. Oread was a trench."
Musical criticism is not our forte, but on the ground that we are a lot interested in human beings and in the prime joy of living we claim the right to slap John Alden Carpenter on the back and cry "bravo!" in him for that smythyphony he described. Adventures in Perambulator. In business J. A. Carpenter is vice president of a concern that deals in railway and ship supplies in an office in grimry old South Water Street, Chicago. In moments which we choose to believe are truly golden, he is a composer and is an orchestral suite in six movements."Peter Pan" set to music. Who are you, Pan?

With snow and ice covering the steps, it is difficult enough to walk down the steps in the day time, and doubly difficult by night. Users of the cut off really need a light at this point.
Why should some one break a leg, or an arm to pay for the privilege of thereafter walking down the steps by aid of a lamp?
THEY HAVE COURAGE
Congratulations are due the Oregon Emerald. It is ignoring the conventional meaning of dramatic criticism, as usually found in college and university papers, and started its criticism. The Emerald defines its new policy: "In former years, criticism has been a harmless sort of occupation in appreciative writing. This year the Emerald adopted parcel of its new policy to criticize drama dramas in a sincere manner.
"The criticisms thus far have evoked a lot of counter-criticism, but little commendation. We believe that on the whole the criticism has been fair, and at least we can instruct our course to take a thesaurus, to the theater as a boon companion, gather a plethora of superlatives, throw them together and label the resultant a dramatic criticism," said the critic found too happy a home in the columns of the Emerald
"Now is the time to set a standard in college journalism that has already become a determining ideal in metropolitan journalism. Our choice of the back office" and forget the "comps" in the composition of the criticism.
"In pledging allegiance to such an ideal there is danger of missing the ideal in the attempt to approximate it, just as there is a danger in assuming the same into the didactic. We are trying to counteract any such tendency by having two or three staff editors criticize the production as editors or the criticism. By this method we can overcome any serious criticism.
Senior.
While the Emerald has thus been trying to do justice to itself as well as to dramatic productions, murmurs of discontent have reached from faculty, students and players. Which voice shall we heed?
THE WORK OF
Now if the lamp of learning is to be kept burning during the progress of maturation, then is it not clear that this burden lies with the universities and colleges? Even as, throughout the duration of the Dark Ages, the spark of learning was kept alive, to a greater extent than the monasteries of Europe, so in our age, which, in spite of our scientific progress and our command over the forces of nature, is in some danger of ranking as one of the Dark Ages of the world's history,—even so does the responsibility of teachers of our universities and schools to guard and keep pure this precious lore of the world. William J. Serrill.
"The Emerald critics have been called 'criticators' or words to that effect, some not so polite. If in the future some dramatic criticism strikes our readers as the work of a biased biped who can't distinguish a good production from a circus, we urge that our readers write us a little communication in which they can give vent to their wrath.
THE WORK OF A UNIVERSITY
"For pity's sake don't button-hole us on the way to classes and challenge us to a debate on the spur of the moment, but I am aware of gestures which strikes us as pugilism, but which is supposed to be criticism."

Newspaper advertising pays. The unbeliever who once tries newspaper advertising is convinced at once. The scoffer, once induced to try newspaper space, invariably and inevitably becomes a large user of the columns of the press.

Once upon a time a successful restaurant man, operating a string of attractive eating houses, had his attention called to the usefulness of newspaper advertising.
A. C. WILSON, Attorney at law, 743
Mass. St, Lawrence, Kansas.
A single newspaper advertisement dealing with pie resulted in the sale of 30,000 cuts of pie the following day in the restaurants owned by the advertiser, and, of course, the饼 trade following that demonstration has grown tremendously. This restaurant man has found it possible to increase the number of his eating places to sixty-eight, and has found it wise immensely to increase his advertising space in the newspapers. This is experience.—Indianapolis, (Ind) Times.

"That's a fact and I'm proud of it," replied the feeder of the public..
"You use no butterine in your restaurant, isn't that true?" asked a friend of the restaurant man.

The nonadvertising restaurant man was stumped. He cogitated. He declared the public would have to be told about the points that made him proud of his restaurants. He began to spend a little money for newspaper advertising. The first month he invested $600. At this time he spends $30,000 a year in newspaper advertising and he finds it pays to do it.
"You know it, and you are satisfied," said the friend. "but what does the general public know about it?"
