The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in the form of a go-farmer than merely printing the name on a university boiler; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; and to serve the university as ability the universities of the University.

"Education may be summed up as the wisdom to choose what is best in life and the ability to attain the best."
—Emma Townsend Wilkinson, in "Education."
TRYING TO "RUN" THE STATE Quite the popular diversion just now is to denounce the Municipal Reference Bureau at the University for "trying to run the state." It seems that the Bureau is doing this by acting as a clearing house for municipal officials, and by putting the resources of the library, engineers, lawyers, health officers of the University at the disposal of muyors and city officials of Kansas who are interested in something more than keeping their machines oiled. Then the director of this bureau, Mr. Charles H. Talbot, happens to be secretary of the League of Kansas Municipalities which is composed of public officers of 141 Kansas towns. This organization publishes a monthly magazine dealing with municipal problems. The last number contains an article on municipal ice plants by a member of the public utilities commission of Weatherford, Oklahoma, which is based on the operation of Weatherford's plant. Prof. H. A. Rice, of the School of Engineering of the University, has an article on concrete sidewalks. It deals with specifications and materials. A model milk ordinance drafted by Leon A. Congdon, of the division of food and drugs on the state board of health is printed. Then there are dozens of paragraphs scattered through the magazine giving the results of municipal experiments in different parts of the country.
Now this is the way Mr. Talbot is "running the state." He and the conscientious city officials of 141 Kansas towns are working on problems of modern city government. They realize that our towns are miserably conducted. They are not connected enough to feel that perfection was reached in the Middle Ages, and they are willing to admit that they can learn a few things by exchanging experiences. They are trying to educate themselves—and make the Kansas towns of which they are officers better places to live in.
That is the way they are trying to run the state. They are trying to run it so that it won't take half a dozen men a month to lay a block of sidewalk; so that a whole community won't be helplessly tied up in, a water franchise which can be renewed indefinitely. They are trying to do things—or rather trying to get others to do things with some approach to the methods which a business man uses.
. . . .
The University Daily Kansan does happen to be printed at the same institution or which Mr. Talbot is a member. But it is a student paper,
vertheless. No member of the university faculty has had the least influence in the Daily Kansan's attitude. This editorial is student opinion purely. No member of the University faculty has been consulted. The Daily Kansan believes that the attitude of an honest student demands that he keep his mind open on subjects of politics, and that support instead of opposition should be given anyone who is trying to improve the ridiculousness of American municipal government. And those critics who say that no economists outside of Kansas agree with Mr. Talbot might read the books of Frederic Howe or Prof. C. A. Beard, or any one of a dozen others which we students read in the course of a year's work. Talbot's ideas are very orthodox among professors of political science. His critics haven't caught up with the process yet.
HIS NEW CAR
Exit all sympathy for the poor underpaid professor. He now fies about in a shiny new car with white tires. He toots the horn with a cold smile as one of his students jumps briskly out of the way. No more does our professor pant and puff after a hearty lunch and a walk up the Hill. He faces his 1:30 o'clock class with calmness for he has come up in his new car.
The only hope ahead is that he will prefer riding around at night to grading out quiz papers. But the professor always shoves that work onto an assistant anyway—so hope fades away.
To Give Military Training
TRIBUTE TO CARL L. BECKER One of the most brilliant of the younger historians in the United States, Prof. Carl L. Becker of the University of Kansas, has prophesied that American history will shortly be rewritten along economic lines.—Prof. C. A. Beard in preface to his "Economic Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy."
Stepping into line with the leading colleges and universities of the country. Northwestern University has just announced the institution of a course in military tactics and allied subjects for the fall term, providing satisfactory arrangements can be made with the War Department for supplies and instruction.
This move on the part of President A. W. Harris, who is backing the proposed installation, is the first attempt in the United States to introduce such a course in a non-state college of the rank of Northwestern. With the increased agitation in favor of citizen soldiery camps and military training schools for the young men of the day, the move will no doubt be welcomed by officials in the War Department, and especially by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who spoke so decidedly in favor of such institutions upon his visit to Illinois last spring.
Will Test Students' English
Will Test *Student*
An innovation of the part of the English department at Purdue University is to teach the annual freshman English test. The existence of such a test has been caused by the general man and attempted betterment of the English course at Purdue. It has been found that too large a percentage of college men have been allowed to graduate without ability to read, write and talk, which is expected of a college graduate. To correct this to a large degree the faculty has decided to grade every student only conditionally until he does comply with the standard of college English. To this end every freshman will be given a chance to show just what training he has had and what he needs, thus helping the department more easily accomplish their new purposes.
Governor Of all the material on hand, the most important punter who has yet appeared in Coach Yost's University of Michigan football squad has been Maurice Dunne, son of Governor Dunne of Illinois. Dunne was the sensation of yesterday's practice, the lanky youth sending long spirals down the field in a manner that indicated he would likely fill the place made vacant in the Walerine lineup by the loss of Splawn.
Governor's Son Does Well
A GOOD FEDERAL
The best "good fellow" in the student body of the University of Michigan will reap, in addition to the friendliness of his fellows, a $1,200 scholarship to be used in study abroad if the plans of the Michigan Union are carried out. This opportunity comes from the recognizing by the Michigan students that the knowing how to mingle with one's fellows is as important as the winning of a Phi Beta Kappa Key or a Rhodes scholarship.

He fills with firm-wooded brown and dry,
white wood, and white wood when he looks

A fund for the maintenance of the representative board will be raised during the campaign started for the million dollars to be used in the erection of the Michigan Union clubhouse. All the alumni organizations of the country are at work on the matter and a number of men are devoting all their time to the proposition.
The scholarship will be but one year's duration and will be awarded to the man who best fills the ideals of good fellowship for the creation of which the Union was established.
South Dakota to Teach Journalism.
Courses in the practical phases of newspaper work are to be given this year for the first time by the University of South Dakota at Vernillon.
The new department of journalism will offer work in reporting, editing, editorial writing, newspaper practice, current events and their journalistic treatment and the history of journalism. It is the plan of the department, when state funds become available, to publish a department newspaper and to found a university press to give the practical side of newspaper and publicity work.

Swimming Records Stand
Swimming Records Stain
Vouchers for the swimming records established recently by Miss Olda Dorfner, of Philadelphia, and Miss Lucy Freeman, of Bath Beach, N. Y., have been turned in to the authorities and show no flaws, so the new marks undoubtedly will be accepted by the Amateur Athletic Union as national standards for women.
the performances of Miss Dorfner—50 yards in 30 2- seconds, 100 yards in 1 minute 9 3-5 seconds and 220 yards in 3 minutes 15 2-5 seconds—leave little doubt that she is now the speediest sprinter of her sex in the world. Miss Fannie Durack of Australia, holder of the lowest figures at the three distances, has never beaten 30 second for fourth and her century for fifteen times, a minute 6 seconds, and a 2 minute 59 seconds, respectively, were made in Quaker under ideal conditions, while the Quaker City girl swam in open and rough water, battling a current which cut the course at right angles. These differences might easily account for the slight margin in result

A singer who recently passed an evening at the house of a lady stayed late. As he arose to go the hostess said:
"Pray, don't go yet, Mr. Basso; I want you to sing something for me."

California Refuses Game
In reply to Stanford's University's invitation to the University of California to participate in a series of active football exhibitions on both campuses, the executive committee recently unanimously decided to instruct the secretary to transmit a refusal of the offer, on the ground that the practice games now being played on the two campuses offered a sufficient opportunity to compare the two types of football.
Stanford suggested that two series of games be played on alternate Saturdays, one at Berkeley and the other at Palo Alto. The Olympic Club would be the common competitor, the two rugby teams playing one half of their games, then the field for American teams taking the field for the first of the games. The second halves of the games the following week on the other campus would be played in the same manner—Daily Californian.
