We would like to know how many economic students have handed in their 20,000 word essay.
The Seniors are a mighty intellectual class, but they are no good when it comes to a class party.
It is astonishing how many Freshmen there are in school since the party has been announced.
The Washburn Argo makes favorable mention of Mr. Stebbins' contest essay, "Conquest of Self."
What is the difference between Yearsley White and Mr. Pease, the butcher? One is a steerer of sleighs and the other is a slayer of steers:
We don't know whether to attend the Freshman party or not. We attended last year, and met with a short but warm reception, and we are undecided about trying it again.
There is a bill now before the legislature giving any county which desires it, a High School. This is a step in the right direction. Every county in the state should have a High School which brings its pupils up to the Freshman year. With one exception, there is not a High School in the state which does this. We can never hope to get rid of our prep department until this is done.
The Arrow of the I. C. Sorosis, with its neat presswork, pure calendered paper and light blue overkirt (if we may take the liberty of calling its cover by that name), is certainly neat and feminine, notwithstanding the Susan B. Anthony twang of many of the articles. One needs but to read the bright little magazine to be convinced that the I. C. Sorosis make better editors than many of their Greek brothers.—Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly.
Oratorical Contest.
The third oratorical contest of the University was held in the opera house last Friday evening.
One of the largest and most cultured audiences ever assembled in Lawrence gathered to witness this exhibition of college oratory.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the president of the oratorical association, Mr. S. T. Gilmore, announced the invocation by Prof. Spring.
Miss Alice Ropes then favored the audience with a piano solo, which was well received and heartily applauded.
Mr. Gilmore then introduced the first speaker of the evening, Mr. Doran. He delivered an onation on "The Small Holdings," well written and containing some excellent thought. Mr. Doran's delivery was earnest and forcible, but rather too much of the stump-speech style for the college orator. Mr. Doran will make a popular political speaker.
The second speaker was Mr. Horton, whose pleasant delivery and graceful bearing always win favor with the audience. Mr. Horton's oration, "National Education," was well received, and his effort on this occasion added another laurel to his brilliant reputation as an orator.
Messrs. Swope and Nickel then rendered a violin and piano solo in a manner which did credit to the gentlemen's excellent musical talent.
The next speaker, Mr. Crane, delivered the winning oration of the evening on "Individual Man and the Masses." His production was full of thought, and very smoothly written. Mr. Crane's style of speaking was much more conversational and direct than on any former occasion, and this was one of the excellencies of his delivery.
The fourth oration, on "Intellect and Morality," was delivered by the Oread orator, Mr. Jenks, and won
second honor. His production was carefully written, and showed a conciseness and depth of thought seldom found in a college oration. Mr. Jenk's oration received the highest grade on thought, and by his excellent delivery, crowded very closely the first honor.
Mr. Graham's oration, "The Spirit of Progress," was an able production in thought, and was well written. Mr. Graham's abilities as an orator, added to his scholarly attainments, bespeak for him a brilliant future.
The last speaker, Mr. Reed, delivered an oration on the "Mission of Morality," which showed good thought and originality of expression. Mr. Reed was laboring under the disadvantage of a severe cold, which rendered his delivery rather harsh.
While the judges were making out their decision the audience was entertained by Dan Crew with a tenor solo. The hearty encore given shows how much the audience loves good music.
The president then announced the decision of the judges, which gave the first position to Cyrus Crane and the second to Will S. Jenks.
The hearty approval of the decision rendered was manifested in loud applause.
We live below the decision of the judges in full :

Consolidation.
Consolidation is a fact in name and reality. Mr. John Sullivan has sold all his right, title and interest in the paper to the present management. We will now put in our best licks for the paper and the University. There will be no back biting or mud slinging; all past animosities will be forgotten, and we will do our best to make it a representative students' paper. We now ask the business men to give us their support, which they have been promising us as soon as we settled our difficulties. If the advertising warrants it, we will probably enlarge the paper. In the language of our former managing editor, "the lion roareth, the whangdoodle mourneth, but the Courier goeth on forever."
On Friday evening four members of the faculty attended the oratorical contest. We were glad to see them. They attend most of the entertainments given by the students, and show that they take an interest in the student's laudable undertakings. In return for this kind encouragement they gain a better acquaintance with the students, and a deserved respect and popularity. But three fourths of the faculty were not present. Some, we know, would have been present had not sickness prevented; yet others, who were at perfect liberty, did not take enough interest in the students to step on the street car and ride to the opera house. We expect some of the latter will come to us in a few days to defend their department from some attack made by the state press. Of course we will be only too glad to do this, as we have often done before, yet it would be just as agreeable to receive some
recognition in return. Do we, as students, ask too much in this?
The lack of honesty on the part of representations of certain denominational schools in this state has often been made the subject of remark.
Not long since one of these denominal trumpeters was in this city trying to secure students for his onehorse college. Having nothing which he could say in favor of his own institution he took occasion to make the most sweeping and unfounded charges against the University. Among other charges was that of general immorality among the students.
Such charges as these need not be answered. The high moral character of the University students is well known to all who know anything of the University at all.
In regard to such statements as this, we would be content to let the matter pass unnoticed, but when charges are made against the purity and chastity of the students of this University, we are justly indignant. Any man having so little regard for truth and for the reputation of others as to make such a charge without the least semblance of a foundation, deserves the execution of every citizen of the state so grossly insulted.
Prof. Snow, in speaking of this subject not long since, said: "During my connection with the University—a period of nineteen years—not a single case of 'scandal' has attached itself to the University."
Of this record the University is justly proud, and does not propose to have her reputation injured by any unscrupulous trumpeter of a monohippie denominational school.
Prof. Carruth's Letter.
I stopped a few hours in Fall River to see Mrs. Florence Finch Kelly. The recent arrival of Master Morton Kelly, seems not to have interfered with Mrs. Kelly's literary activity. She contributes to the Fall River Globe, of which Mr. Kelly is editor, and has recently printed a short story in "Outing."
I believe I am the first person from the west to see the youthful Mr. Kelly He is a vigorous baby, large, dark-haired, gray-blue-eyed, vociferous. It seemed to me that there is something of the mother about him, but Mrs. Kelly assured me that the boy is all Kelly. The discovery of baby resemblance is a very fanciful and unprofitable business.
Fall River is an excellent field for that fearless and sharp-eyed questioning for which Mrs. Kelly was noted with us. With less than fifty thousand population, the town has over forty corporations, most of them supporting manufactures. The irrepressible conflict between labor and capital is here constantly before the eyes. Ever and anon the subterranean fires burst forth and send their lurid gleams into the other manufacturing districts of New England. A large portion of the laborers is Irish and Canadian, but they are all overworked and underfed.
There is a difference between text book and field work in political economy. I should not call it theoretical and practical, for of course a good theory is good in practice; but in the field, difficulties present themselves which we cannot foresee or fully appreciate in the class-room. In political economy these difficulties come chiefly from the human factor, which is intractable to vulgar physical arithmetic.
It is one thing to declare that the law of supply and demand, if allowed full play, will settle the labor problem; that merit will always be recognized and command sufficient pay, etc.; and it is quite another thing to stand on the street at half past six in the morning and look into a thousand
pinched faces whose ill clad owners go hurrying to a joyless ten or twelve hours of monotonous, distracting toil. It is one thing to speak of the wonderful improvements in machinery, characteristic of our generation, and of the cheapening of products necessarily resulting, and it is quite another thing to go through the bedlam of a cotton factory and note the room-wide spinning benches doing the work of twenty men, and on every machine and in every process automatic attachments, each one of which has taken the place of an attendant by each machine.
So I can see that there may be some significance to the scornful appellation of "more theorists" applied to some of the writers on political economy. On the other hand, a mere "practicalist," if I may make the word, that it to say a mere blood and bone grinder, or gambler in human beings, such as are too many of the stock-holders and managers in these mills, is, it seems to me, as much worse as the Benders are worse than the author of the essay on "Murder as a Fine Art." The false principle at the bottom of the social science of the present is this: That a man has a right to do with his own whatever he pleases. A social organization, which is based on self-abnegation, alone makes it possible for any man to have "his own," so every man is bound to do with his own what is best for the community; if he "pleases" this, well and good; if not, then it seems to me he is a sponger on the community.
Yes, we ought to have field work in political economy as well as in engineering or botany. There is some material in Lawrence; there is more in Kansas City. And so when the Science Club goes down to Kawsmouth to investigate the soap factory and the gas works, the social scientists — Gilmore, Graham, Smith, Riggs and the others—ought to go along and find out how the operatives live, and whether their philosophy fits these men and their circumstances. For you may have a philosophy of life which works very well in the country or in our quiet little town, but which will go all to pieces in the presence of masses of sodden, suffering, helpless humanity. I confess these great pandemoniums at Fall River, full of torturing machines and tortured bodies, put ugly thoughts into my head. I must readjust my philosophy. In fact, we very much need a philosophy which is warranted to stand in any climate, and not to warp or crack. Such a one I may get for myself; but the greater problem is to find a philosophy which will help these workmen and satisfy their needs. Mrs. Kelly says there is none. I am inclined to think it a benificent providence that there is not. I very much question the effect on civilization of a philosophy which could make men content in such a life.
SAINTS AND SINNERS.
In revolutionary times the cranks and third-party men refused to use any of the articles on which Great Britain levied her tax; in our later ante-bellum days the same class of men refused to use any goods in the production of which slave labor was required. I am inclined to think that many of our open-hearted farmers and public-spirited citizens, if they could spend a few days in any factory town in America or Europe, and see into the workings of the system, would be disposed to take the same severe stand against this, too, and say: So long as the hearts and souls of our fellowmen are worked up into cotton cloths and shoes, so long will we wear homespun and shoe ourselves.
It is a large world, indeed, and no man must think his philosophy complete until he has seen the dark side of it. W.H.CARRUTH.
I cannot say I take all the pleasure some do in seeing so large a proportion of Mother Oread's brood at the State Teachers' Association. A chill of sadness comes over me at the sight. I cannot help feeling the difference between the practical and the theoretical view of the scene. I am told that it means more thoroughly equipped teachers. Our school work is to be systematized. A higher plan of education is to follow. The University will have to enlarge its portals to receive the broadening stream of youth which comes pouring in. Our civilization will be raised, better morals pervade our commonwealth, purer and abler men wield the scepter of every vocation, and the robe of purple worn only by the wise, the true and the honorable. A pretty picture! Very, very pretty!
Let us drop to the facts. It is hard to leap from a bed of radiant dreams and land barefoot on a cold floor, the chill creeping up your shuddering limbs and setting your bones dancing in the liveliest kind of a jig. Yet that is the sort of a tumble the God-forsaken mortal must take who goes to fill the magazine of youth with the ammunition of knowledge. On stepping down from the commencement rostrum with his silk-ribboned parchment in his hip pocket and a basket of exotics in each hand, the alumnus is confronted with the problem of earning his daily biscuit and oleomargarine. He is equipped for but one vocation—teaching ($80 a month). At anything else he must take his place with the green fledglings ($25 per month). In a moment of weakness he takes the higher priced job. Ten years afterward he is to found be surrounded by mischievous urchins, mechanically earning his $60 a month, which the taxpayers have concluded is all they can pay. In plate glass offices the "greemies" ofa decade ago are receiving incomes of five thousand a year, and pitying the poor but scholarly pedagogue across the way.
**
Kansas is the first state in education, you whisper in my ear. Let us see how the educators of this "first state" fare. There are not a dozen schools in this state that pay their superintendents one hundred dollars a month ten months in the year. On the other hand, there is not one or the scores of towns in this state that does not pay its first lawyer, its best doctor or its most prominent merchant, three, four, five or ten times that amount. These men, moreover have large social and political influence. The teacher is disregarded and called a "theorist," even by those whose economic opinions he implanted and cultivated. Even those who roost on the higher educational perches fare no better. Prof Snow gets $2,000 a year, while Senator Ingalls, his equal in another pasture, gets $8,000 per annum and the croppings. Prof. Canfield's checks foot $1,800 in the course of a twelve month, while State Senator Barker's, I dare say, would reach three times that amount. Probably not one professor in the University could endow his child with a thousand dollar note to save his soul, while butcher Deichman hands his daughter a $20,000 draft as a nuptial present. Nor is there any compensating element in influence or social position. A veteran in the school room is cast aside to eke out an existence like an old horse turned out on pasture to die. Even Gov. Martin, who thrilled the weary hearts of the teachers at Topeka with enconiums, burnished and dazzling, said once (as I am reliably informed), that "teachers are like sheep on a thousand hills—they can be
had in any number for the calling." Alas, it is too true.
* *
So I say to boys leaving the University, think well before you take up the old man of the sea as your profession. Truly, it is "a work of love," with precious little reciprocity of the tender sentiment. Nothing can be said or done that can add one iota to the honor the teacher deserves. But though he deserves it, the laurels never come. While you avoid the profession, thereby thinning its ranks and maybe raising its wages, never fail to say a word that may add to its glory and lustre. For girls of education, with whom any vocation, as we know, is a temporary calling, teaching is as remunerative and suitable as any employment offered them. It may also in a measure be a guide in domestic duties of after life. But without referring to the religious cant and the political hypocrisy so often necessary to secure and retain positions, I say to my fellow students, look well before you leap into the teacher's profession; I say "profession" and not "calling," for who ever heard of a teacher being called?
. $ \cdot $ .
The Bakery doughnuts have just been debating the question whether "If one makes a verbal error in uttering a prayer, will God take the intent or the word?" The judges, twelve in number, stood six and six; so God is undecided what to do in the matter.
I suppose all my readers noted the minute fulfillment of my prediction as to the slushy reviews of the contest baled out by the papers. The Journal says the contest was the strongest ever given here, and then takes up each performer and slopes over him. Hog wash! In the words of Cleveland, "tell the truth." The contest was one of the poorest ever inflicted on an innocent and unoffending public. Not one speaker outside of Crane that did himself justice; not one but has done better on a dozen previous occasions. There were no preachers on the judge's bench, and so, for once, a decision was given that comported with the common sense of the audience. Crane was at his best, and fairly deserved the honors for spouting. Let him repeat this record at Topeka, and we will be satisfied.
*
Instead of the jejune orations dished up by the speakers last Friday night, we hope the next contest will witness something new and interesting. Orations are like eggs, the fresher the better. Those of Friday night were ready to hatch.

Prof. Marvin: 'Contests are frauds. All they give is a little notoriety, which at best is temporary. If I had my way I would print in big letters on the back of every catalogue, 'This institution gives no prizes.' I am radical on this subject. I would go further, and abolish the different grades of diplomas. When young ladies and gentlemen enter the University, they should be old enough to make childish stimulants unnecessary.
No, I do not want a degree of 'C. E.' adopted at present. When we get one year more added to the civil engineer's course, so we are worthy of the degree, it will be time to ask the regents to establish it, but not before."
...
I most heartily agree with Prof. Marvin, that different grades of diplomas should not be issued. If a student is unit to graduate, he should not be given a diploma; if worthy, he should not go out branded first class, second class or third class graduate, as he now is. SMITH.

STUDENTS VIEWS.
I believe that we shall all remember the years spent at K. S. U., even until our hair is tinged with gray and our strength enfeebled. Very few of us but shall recall these years with pleasure, and anything that will turn our minds back to our college days will be welcomed with gladness. No doubt the acquaintances we have formed here will be the most cherished in our thoughts, and it will gladden our hearts to see a face that was made familiar during our school days. We may come back and visit the University, but if we find no familiar faces it does not seem like the same place, but seems like a wilderness. We have been used to meeting friends there, and strangers cannot take their place in our hearts. We will not care much for the cold emotionless walls which cannot return our friendship, but will look for that which can speak to us and welcome us to our Alma Mater.
After we leave K. S. U. we will be interested in anyone who has ever attended the same University. We can ask those about the professors, the studies, and perhaps some of the students. If we meet one whom we have seen many times in K. S. U. during school life, he will be a pleasing reminder of pleasant times. But would we not be better satisfied if we had been acquainted with him there and knew his tastes?
But if we meet one with whom we were well acquainted we will be united by a bond of felling which time will only strengthen. What pleasure to grasp the hand of our old school-fellow and look into that face we have so often seen in the class room, and hear that voice we have so often heard mixing up things in history class or trying to make sense out of some difficult passage in Caesar! How eager we will be to know something of the boys, where they are and what they are doing; of the girls, whether they are married or teaching school; of the professors, whether they are still filling the old positions or whether they have finished their life's work!
A graduate never forgets those of his class. He is alwas personally interested in their welfare and success, and if success is achieved—if Faue, or even Distinction writes his name on her roll of honor, how all the rest of the class will speak of the honored one as a member of "my class."
What a grand thing a reunion is! With what fervor are the old stories retold and old friendships renewed! Joy is proportionate to the length of time since the last meeting and the intimacy of the friendship.
Are there not some who we have been prejudiced against, yet with whom we are not acquainted? Are there not some with an unpolished exterior; and yet in whom may be traits and motives which would make them our friends if we would but examine them more closely? Then let us make friends with all we can. Let us get acquainted with all, no matter whether Senior or Prep., barb or frat, Orophilian or Orcad. There will surely be something in common between schoolmates. A good time and place will be at the Y. M. C. A. reception, at the association rooms, on February 5th. Let every student who wants to get acquainted, come out then; the new students to get acquainted with the old, and the old to welcome the new, and thus to all make their school life more pleasant W. H. KRAP.
A Word by Way of Answer.
sonl belief in opposition to that of "Student," nothing was further from my thought or desire than that the matter should degenerate into a religious controversy, and I sincerely deprecate the necessity of stepping on anybody's toes, even while I elevate my brogans with the alacrity of a small boy stoning a cat.
A considerable degree of attention seems to have been attracted in interested circles by an expression of my honest humble opinion upon the subject of Unitarianism. When I took the great liberty of placing my per-
A gentleman who by way of facetious contrast styles himself "Thinker," confers upon an expectant public the benefit of an expression of his views on the matter. To some I may seem strangely obtuse when I say that my views have undergone no modification even after receiving the inspiring light of this revelation, notwithstanding he "felt moved to express his hearty disgust" at my action in the matter. But not even the burning sting of the gentleman's disgust can prevent me from presuming to say a word by way of answer.
Before proceeding to notice the writer's argument, I want to say that he is not the only distinguished person who has treated the affair with the same christian charity and Christ-like love of truth. He is not the only person who intrenches himself behind the egotistic breastwork of an assumed semi-infallibility, and with an air of commingled injured innocence and self-sufficient sophistry calls those who criticise his pet *ism* fools and bigots. I have heard from authentic sources that a prominent Liberal, the representative of a class who clamor for fairness and christian charity, with all the self-sufficiency imaginable, and a most refreshing air of a final and infallible disposition of the whole matter, branded his anonymous opponent an ass and a "fist." Christian fairness! What all-annihiliating refutation! What magnanimity towards
Returning to the honorable writer's article: The first statement made, is that my "attack" was made upon "student," I repudiate the assertion. I made no attack upon "student" whatever. I opposed the doctrine he advanced. The gentleman stated my position in this matter as well as I could have done when he stated the first part of my argument. I hold indeed, that such books (as are under dispute) being sectarian themselves, they are out of place in the library of an unsectarian institution. The gentleman makes the same mistake with "student," I hold that a sectarian book is one which says that the Baptist or the Methodist or the Presbyterian doctrine is best and truest. The admission of this definition is imperative; and that is why I hold that the only books which could be consistently admitted to the library of a non-sectarian institution are those devoted to the discussion of the broad, underlying principles of christianity. A jumble of all doctrines and creeds is not non-sectarianism. Is there anything illogical or dogmatic about this? Do I contend for books which advocate any especial denominational doctrine when I oppose those which teach Unitarianism! I challenge the charge of inconsistency or dogmatism.
The gentleman's gratuitous assertion that I should have found out something about what I criticised before I did so, is characterized by a facility of assumption and an affusiveness of effrontery which reaches the ludicrous. By virtue of what information did he know I had never investigated the subject? The sophism that Unitarianism is not a sect, deserves only the trouble of mention to be exposed.
He says that two men might hold opposite views and still be good Unitarians. I agree with him perfectly;
and the more inconsistent and contradictory their opinions, the better Unitarians they would be. The gentleman warmly advocates this disputed doctrine and eulogizes it as a banner under which any may march who are willing to accord to all the right to their honest religious convictions and the right to express them. "Yet I felt moved to express my hearty disgust." "But be that as it may, I consider 'M's' essay illogical and dogmatic." O consistency! He calls it "dogmatic." "Anyone with good common sense knows this is the correct view." Shades of Mill, Mc Cosh and Blair! what profundity of cool, merciless logic! But I forget myself; my "essay" was illogical and dogmatic. The gentleman says so, and it must be true. M.

The Mirror is a good monthly magazine published at Lewisburg, Pa. Its departments are well balanced. If they would fire the exchange man the paper would be greatly improved. He is too fresh.

EXCHANGE.
"Did not the sight of the bonni-mless blue sen, bearing on its bosom white-winged deets of commerce, fill you with emotion?!" "Yes," replied the traveler, "at first it bid, but after a while it didn't fill me with anything. It sorter emptied me."
We have often noticed that the best papers do not come from the best colleges. The papers at Yale and Columbia are poor compared with some of those which come from Ohio and Illinois colleges. We know of no way to account for it except by saying that the eastern men spend their spare time in athletic sports, while the western men employ themselves in a literary way.
The Hamilton Literary Magazine is as good a college magazine as we would like to see.
The Yale Courant is calling for more subscriptions. The Courant is the sleepy semi-monthly paper, and it is not to be supposed that it can keep its subscription list up to that of its neighbor the Daily News. The offener a paper comes out, and the more local news it contains, the better will its support be. This is true at Yale as well as at K. S. U.
The Hilladale Herald has a circulation of 1,200 which is larger than any college journal in the country. We don't understand it, for the Herald is one of the poorest papers on our exchange list. We think they might at least improve the quality of the paper on which it is printed.

Dr. Lippincoff deserves great praise for the able manner in which he has watched the financial interests of the University. He has placed the matter of the pharmacy deficiency in such a light that there is now no doubt but we will get the appropriation asked for.
Our professor of elocution should be allowed all of his time for that branch. It is one of the most difficult places in school, and it is unjust to the professor and pupil to have the work slighted. He should either have an assistant, or be allowed to drop his classes in English.
A young lady will represent the Normal school at the state oratorical contest. We would like to see some of K. S. U.'s fair damsels take part in our oratorical work. We have some good speakers among the girls and there is no good reason why they should not enter some of our numerous contests.

Quite a jolly party of K. S. U. students came down from Lawrence to hear Col. Bain's lecture. We are always glad to see our friends from the clashic city on the Kaw.

A certain lawyer was compelled to apologize to the court. With stately dignity he arose in his place and said, "Your Honor is right and I am wrong, as your Honor generally is." There was a dazed look in the Judge's eyes; he didn't know whether to feel happy or to fine the lawyer or contempt of court.

OBITUARY.
81. Died at Donney, California December 19th, Julius A. Gebauer. Mr. Gabauer entered the University in the fall of '81. The older members of the present class will have little difficulty in recalling to mind his stalwart form and kindly presence. Coming directly from the farm, his awkward movements drew upon him at first the ridicule of the more thoughtless members of his class. It was not long, however, until his marked ability as a student, and his many games as quality, as a man, endeared him to those with whom he was most intimately associated. He was seen to better advantage in the class room than in the billiard hall, and as he was not stylishly attired, having only the stern and rugged qualities of a noble manhood to recommend him, he did not attract to himself that prominence in social circles bestowed upon his more favored brethren. No society made haste to pin its glittering badge upon his breast. Yet among all the members of that promising class, there was one who promised greater honor to its name than he. Prof. Carruth is the one member of the faculty who, as I now remember, appreciated him fully and understood the possibilities of the man. Out of such stuff have been created the Lincoln's, Garfield's and Grants of our age. Few would have had the temerity to predict an early death for Gebauer, with his massive frame and seemingly robust health, but the taint of hereditary consumption lurked in his system and struck him down in the dawn of a bright and promising career.

Meeting of the Kent Club at the court house last Friday night. In absence of the President the Vice President, Mr. Bluit, was elected to the Chair. On call of names, each member responded with a legal maxim. Following this the club went into Senate session and discussed the justice and lawfulness of allowing the brewers of the State all indemnity for losses to property caused by the prohibition law, and decided not to allow a "red copper." Meeting then adjourned. ]

MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION IN BOSTON.
"If the smoke and dust of the great meeting at Topeca has cleared away I should like to call attention to a few points of public interest in connection with the first annual meeting of the Modern Language Association of America, which was held in Boston, December 29th and 30th.
The Association was formed a year ago at a meeting in New York City, called for the purpose by an informal meeting held at Baltimore in 1883 on the motion of Prof. A. M. Elliot, of John Hopkins University. So this was really the third meeting for Prof. Elllett, whose tact and determination have put the new organization firmly on its feet, though it is the first regular meeting under the constitution.
The purpose of the Association is the support and elevation of the study of modern languages, or words to that effect; I have not the constitution at hand. The papers presented cover methods of teaching, original investigation, and in general, all questions concerning the advancement of modern languages in secondary and higher schools. For instance, last year President Carter, of Williams, read a paper on some unpublished letters of Richte, the great German novelist, and this year Prof. Fortier, of Fulane University, a paper on "The Creole French in Louisiana," in which, by the way, the representation of the same by F. W. Cable, was characterized as an action of his imagination, while there were no less than four discussions on the what and the how of teaching modern languages. I was especially interested in the description of Prof. Von Jagermann, of Earlham College, of his methods of work, in as much as it might have been made point by point from that used in our own classes.
But the most important thing brought out at the present session was a communication and greeting from the 38th annual meeting of 3erman Philologists and teachers, held at Glessen, September 30th, containing the following resolutions which will be of interest to many of your readers:
4. That preparatory training by instruction in Latin, through which the scholars are aleviated from the understanding of sounds, is injurious for a rational management of general instruction in language.
1. That in elementary French and German, reading material should be the starting point and pivot of all instruction in the grammar.
2. Likewise in higher classes.
3. That in choosing reading material,
the modern historians deserve special attention.
This was supplemented by a paper from Prof. Elliott on the Realgynasium question, in which he showed up the biggy and onesidedness that brought out the famous Berlin report. Of all the thirty-three professors whose names are appended to that report, only two really knew anything about the circumstances, and they knew but one side. But this document is quoted as showing that, in the opinion of the faculty of the greatest university in the
5. It is desirable that in all higher schools there should be given to the Modern Languages attention commensurate with their importance.
world, a preliminary training in English, instead of Greek, disqualifies a student for the learned professions.
Another interesting point, vitally touching our own situation, was a report on the condition of modern language studies in the country at large, read by Prof. Hewitt, of Cornell, in which the opinion was emphatically expressed, "That the secondary schools never had pushed the higher schools, and never would, and that the only way to raise the standard of study is for the colleges to move first."
The four sessions of the association were held in Boston University, and were attended by professors from John Hopkins, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton, Williams, Amherst, and many others. In the basement of the building I found a neat little gymnasium in a room no larger than the one in which Prof. Gleed and I nurtured that short-lived prodigy, the gymnasium of the Kansas State University.

He argued that the matter of educating its citizens belonged to the general government should not appropriate money for this purpose. From his presentation was a good one.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL COMPANY.
OUR ULTIMATUM.
Within the past two weeks there has been organized in our University a new publishing company, on a constitution and basis of a different nature from those of the two companies publishing the two weekly papers under the name of "The Courier." This company incorporating within itself the affairs of the "opposition Courier," all elements recognizing the desirability—for the welfare of the University and all parties concerned—of a compromise of grievances negotiations began early this week for a legitimate adjustment of the affairs of both companies, to bring about a purchase or sale of the one to the other. Concessions on both sides were necessary. Complications which those not directly interested would not or could not comprehend, had to be overcome. The desirability of the publishing of but one paper, was the only goal to which all eyes under the circumstances, could be made to come to a focus.
The first concession was made by the new company in the appointment of a committee, consisting of Frank D. Hutchings, Harry A. Smith and A. L. Wilmoth, to confer with John Sullivan, who was known to have the largely controlling interest in the affairs of this publication, to bring about a purchase of his interests if possible.
"BILL OF SALE.
Nothing was done until Tuesday evening, when representatives from each company, with Mr Chalfant, of the Herald-Tribune, and Charles D. Dean, of the Journal, met in the editorial rooms of Mr. McEwen's, when Mr. Sullivan, in behalf of his campany, signed the following—the which act stops the publication of this paper from this date:
"LAWRENCE, KAS., Feb. 2, '86.
"This Indenture, Witnesseth:
"That for and in consideration of the sum of one hundred dollars ($100,00), to me in hand paid, I hereby sell, transfer and convey to the Courier Publishing Company (incorporated), all my right, title and interest in and to the following property, to wit: The subscription books, advertising contracts and good will of the Weekly University Courier, published by a company, of which I, John Suillivan, am President, and Ross Wemple is Secretary.
"By this sale and transfer, all bills due the said Weekly University Courier — except advertising accounts known as 'contingents' — are to be collected by me; and all debts of the said newspaper, are to be paid by me.
"Witness my hand the day and year above written.
"Witness:
"W. F. CHALFANT.
"J. SULLIVAN."
In pledge of good faith and mutual protection, a document was drawn and signed by H. A. Smith and F. D. Hutchings, in behalf of their company, that Mr. Sullivan was not to be in any way misused in the columns of their publication. Mr. Sullivan pledged himself not to start a new "Courier" within a space of two years.
By this all of our subscribers will receive the new publication unless otherwise ordered. Mr. Sullivan will make all collections due his company, and settle up its affairs generally. Stockholders should present stock for redemption at once.
The new publication under the managing edittorship of Mr. H. A. Smith, of Atchison, will well represent K. S. U. With Mr. Smith's experience in college journalism and the able staff he has for assistants the paper cannot but be a success. We understand the paper issued for the time being at least, will be of five columns.
The final acts of the above will be the paying by Mr. Chalfant into Mr. Sullivan's hands the One Hundred Dollars which was deposited Thursday morning, when Mr. Sullivan, in company with a representative of the new company, will call upon the postmaster, Mr Shannon, and turn over the much-contested matter of "Courrier" mail and assist in straightening up contingent business.
Very thankful to the business men of Lawrence for the generous advertising patronage extended THE COURSE and imploring the kindly good-will in memory, of all to whom is dear the interests of KANNAN STATE UNIVERSITY, for which alone we have endeavoured in our feeble way to injure, we fully imbued with the feeling that if in aught we have erred, it has been “of the head and not the heart.” we rest content.
FINANCIAL
The books of the managers show in expenditure since the beginning of the year of $530. No subscription money of consequence having been received as yet, (it not coming n generally until March) advertising has been their only source of unds. Mr. Sullian has carried all financial affairs individually. While he management have nothing to ay as to their outcome, from the figures nobody will feel they have made their life's fortune out of it.
HOW TO BEGIN TO READ A BOOK.—Always look into your dish and taste it before you begin to eat. As you sit down, examine the titlepage; see who wrote the book—where he lives; do you know anything of the author! Where, and by whom published? Do you know anything of the general character of the books published by this publisher? Recollect what you have heard about this book.
Then read the preface, to see what kind of a bow the author makes, and what he thinks of himself and his work; why he has the oldness to challenge the public to near him. Then turn to the contents; see what are the great divisions of his subject, and thus get a glance of his general plan. Then take a single chapter or section, and see how he has divided and filled that up.
If, now, you wish to taste of the lish before further examination of the contents, then turn to the place where some important point is discussed, and where some valuable thought professes to be expanded or illustrated, and see how it is executed. If, after some few such trials, you should find your author obscure, dull, pedantic, or shallow, you need not longer fish in these waters. It will be hard to catch fish here, and, when caught, they will be too small for use.
But if you find the author valuable, and worth your attention, then go back to the contents. Examine them chapter by chapter; then close the book, and see if you have the plan of the whole work distinctly and fully in your mind. Do not proceed till this is done.
After you have this map all distinctly drawn in the mind, then get the first chapter vividly before you so far as the contents will enable you to do it. Now proceed to read. At the close of each sentence, ask yourself, "Do I understand that? Is it true, important, or to the point? Anything valuable there which I ought to retain?" At the close of each paragraph, ask the same questions. Leave no paragraph till you have the substance of it in your mind.
Proceed in this manner through the chapter; and, at the close of the chapter, look back, and see what the author tried to accomplish by it, and what he really has accomplished. As you proceed, if it be your own, or if the owner will allow
you to do it, mark with your pencil,
in the margin, what. according to
your view, what the character of each
paragraph, or of this or that sentence.
To illustrate what I mean,
I will mention a few marks which
I have found very useful to myself;
these, or anything similar, will answer
the end to be attained.
Perhaps the remark would better be made here, that you can never read to advantage unless you feel well, and the mind and the spirit buoyant. Otherwise, any author will be stupid. "No one will read with much advantage, who is not able, at pleasure, to evacuate his mind, and who brings not to his author an intellect defecated and pure, neither turbid with ware, nor agitated with pleasure."
|| Signifies, that this paragraph contains the main, or one of the main propositions to be proved or illustrated in this chapter; the staple, or one of the staples, on which the chain hangs.
< This sentiment is true, will bear expanding, and will open a field indefinite in extent.
> This, if carried out, would not stand the test of experience, and is therefore incorrect.
? Doubtful as to sentiment.
? ! Doubtful in point of fact.
S Good, and facts will only strengthen the position.
$ \ddagger $ Not inserted in the right place.
O In good taste.
But, facts will not uphold it.
¢ Irrelevant to the subject;
would better have been omitted.
§ Repetition; the author is moving
in a circle.
Q In bad taste.
Such marks may be increased at pleasure. I have found the above sufficient. These need not be adopted, as each one can invent them for himself; but care should be taken always to make the same mark mean the same thing. But will not this method of reading be slow? Yes, very slow, and very valuable. A single book read in this way, will be worth a score run over! It will compel you to think as well as read, to judge, to discriminate, to sift out the wheat from the chaff. It will make thought your own, and will so fix it in your mind, that it will probably be at your command, at any future time. Todd's Manual.—True Educator.
COLLEGE JOURNALISM.—We clip the following from the Hastings Collegian on some of the charms of a College journal editor's life. In K. S. U. we mix in some things to which these are nauseating in suspidl: It is a prevalent idea among our students, that it takes very little trouble to edit a college paper. We beg leave to differ with you. Oulp those who are associated with the paper, know the worry and trouble in getting out each issue. We therefore claim it is the duty of every student to support, as far as he is able, his own college paper. But that is all right. Don't support your paper. Find fault with it. Say the locals are not pithy or sharp enough. Of course you will want to see the paper, just to see for a few moments, as you would like to look up an advertisement. No matter if people do think this is mean. It is because you show more sense (?) than they do. This is not the way of every college paper. Some get along very well for a few months, like a Christian enterprise, and never ask for money. As long as this lasts, every student in the college should send in their names. They should also praise the paper, and tell everyone how much good it is doing for the college. Send it off to your friends. Tell them what a splendid college this paper represents. But as soon as he sends you a "dun," just coolly inform him that you want your paper stopped. Don't give him any reason. The proper thing to do is to tell the students how useless it is for anyone to attempt to edit a college paper. Take the
paper, as long as you can get it on credit, but when the collection agent comes around, don't pay for the time specified, but generously offer to pay him for the two or three issues you have received, and then take your name off of the subscription list. I commend this to your notice.
THE crank is purely an American idea. He is a product of our civilization and our century. He generally succeeds in making himself obnoxious and disgusting. The latest phase of this malady has lately struck Lawrence. We are told that a prominent Y. M. C. A. man, who, by the way, is a student of K. S. U., took it upon himself to call upon a prominent minister of the city, whose life is above reproach, but who does not believe in the antedated myths which some profess to believe, and sought him with all fervor to abandon the errors of his ways and cease his attacks on the orthodox churches. Such things amuse as much as they disgust, and for the honor of the University we sincerely hope this will be the last of it.
THE Courier has always had a vigilant eye to the best interests of K. S. U., and when these conflicted with any tartisan interests the former have never been made subsidiary to the latter, and in the line of this spirit the Courier earnestly exhorts every one, without regard to factional feeling, to attend the contest at Topeka next month. Anyone who numbered himself with jolly crowd that went to Baldwin two years ago, knows that there is an inspiration given by the presence of a large, enthusiastic crowd of personal friends eager for the success of their representative. When only a few personal and intimate friends attent, and the desire of the representative to succeed is confined to personal feeling in the matter there is not the feeling of responsibility resting upon him and his patriotism is vper apt to have a chilling decline. It is human nature, and hence all who have the interests of K. S. U. at heart, and who want to see their Alma Moter come out ahead, should go to the contest full of enthusiasm for our grand old University. Brace up, boys, and be philanthropists. Take somebody else besides yourself. If you can't do this, go alone. But go anyway.

VIEWS.
It seems the strangest thing to me why the girls never have any views to air. I don't remember to have seen an article in the last three years, devoted to discussion of any measures of reform in which the girls were especially interested. I cannot believe this is because there are no matters pertaining exclusively to the girls. There are plenty enough of them, goodness knows, which touch only the boys, and with which the girls have nothing to do; and it seems to me that if by virtue of nothing else, at least by analogy, there should be something about which nobody should be competent to say anything but the girls. I do not presume to suggest anything interesting them exclusively, but the matter deserves at least passing attention. If the girls are perfectly satisfied with their surroundings and there is nothing which ever goes wrong, the said girls are certainly to be felicitated.
MUSINGS WISE AND OTHERWISE.
But I don't believe that the mil lenium has come yet, and until a girl don't find fault with something and Ben Butler goes out of politics, such a state of affairs will never come to pass. Then if you have anything to say, girls, why don't you say it? Why don't you arouse yourselves and "agitate?"

As I sat and observed the speakers last Friday evening, I could not but be amused at the majority of the gestures made by the speakers. On the whole, they were the most ludicrous absurd pironetts I have seen in some time. They were so utterly meaningless that it is beyond my comprehension to understand how anyone could have the presumption to inflict them upon an intelligent audience. There seemed to be no earthly idea of the purpose of a gesture or the function which it was intended to exercise. There seemed to be a widespread opinion that the prime object which gestures were intended to serve was merely to "think in" and relieve the monotony. My idea of gestures may be wrong, but I look upon a gesture as the true interpreter of thought, it being inscapably alied with expression, and I believe that the aenea of excellence has been attained when the relations between these two are perfect. I hold that a gesture which has no earthly connection with the thought expressed should no more be made than a signboard be put up where there is no road. I believe that the ideal for which speakers should strive is the utmost possible naturalness in the matter of gestures; and I believe that when a speaker makes a gesture as if he were steadily an imaginary basket of clothes on his head and fendly imagines he is picturing the boundless West before the eyes of his entertained auditors, I believe that speaker is off.

There was a noticeable lack of strictly religious subjects. I was somewhat surprised at this as it is generally the rule. One thing striking, however, was the similarity of subjects. They were one and all a stale and hackneyed renash of sophomoral ethics, having about as much—or rather as little—connection with anything pertaining to this mundane sphere and the breathing vital realities of life as the taking of pills with the Problem of the Three Bodies. When in the name of exhausted patience will we hear the last of the "glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome?" When will we have an end to the long wined explorations into the dusty recesses of the musty past? When shall we cease to be told the school-boy tale of days gone by? When shall we realize that it is best as Longgellow says, to "Let the dead Past bury its Dead" and to act our part in the busy scenes of every day? Why call up the wearied shades of Caesar Alexander and Napolean, when the living present is crammed with lessons as potent as those they teach? Again I say, in the name of wearied patience.
"No more, and you love us."
By the by, the alleged COUNTER seems to be sustaining its boast of being a religious paper, at least as far as "religious" can be defined as pertaining to religion. The schoolboy fight going on in the columns of that priceless repository of wisdom is attracting some degree of attention, at least from those who seem to have had their corps stepped on. I happened to hear an expression of opinion from a prominent Liberal. From the glibness and the virulence with which he abused the unfortunate opponent of his "pet-ism," I could almost imagine him Orthodox. He grew quite zoological and had he not been possessed of a fortunately limited knowledge of natural
He grew quite zoological and had he not been possessed of a fortunately limited knowledge of natural history I tremble for the consequences.

What a foolish thing it is to do to quarrel about the matter of religion! If there is anything which makes a man appear move pitifully insignificant and more as if you were looking at him through the large end of an opera glass, it is when he stands up and in the ineffable infallibility of a blood relation of the Almighty, calls an expression of honest belief "moral leprosy," and if there is anything which fetters broad and comprehensive Liberalism and drags it down to the level of orthodoxy, it is when it calls honest opposition "illegal and dogmatic." In the name of common right, let us be fair, open and above-board. M.
The Logic of Events.
"Well, well," said Mrs. Catson, putting a side a newspaper and turning to her husband, "a pair of ear rings caused the Burmese war. I never heard of anything so strange."
"Oh," said Mr. Cason, "have heard of stra ugge things."
"Well, I have, and I'll give you an example. One night, in Boston, a young man, meeting an acquaintance, said: 'Come, let's have a drink.' I was never in Boston, but that remark brought about our marriage."
"Nonsense."
"Tell you what I'll do; I promised to get you a new cloak, didn't IP!"
"Yes."
"I understand."
"Well, now I'll bet you the eloak that I can prove my inscription."
"Why, George," exclaimed Mrs. Casson, "you are foolish. Neither of us were ever in Boston. You must be losing your mind."
"Settled what?"
"if I succeed, you don't get the cloak."
"The fact of our marriage."
"How can you be so foolish?"
"Well, one night in Boston about ten years ago, a young man, meeting a friend, asked him to come and have a drink. The friend, a drug clerk did, so he took several drinks and got drunk. That settled it."
"Never mind, I'll explain. The drug clerk got drunk and went to the store. Shortly afterward a servant girl entered and handed him a prescription. In putting it up he used morphine instead of quinine. The girl went away, and delivered the medicine to Mrs. Potter, who took it and died."
“Oh, what’s the use of prolonging this foolishness?”
"We were not acquainted with each other ten years ago."
"Hold on. The death of that woman drew you and me closer together than we ever were before."
"That is very true, but wait. Mr. Potter, the lady's husband, was almost crazed by grief. He could stay in New York no longer, so he came down to Kentucky and after aweil went into business. Don't see any light yet, do you?"
"Oh, hush."
"Walt a minute. He had not been in business long until I met him. He took a fancy to me and gave me employment. After I had been with him several years, he sent me to Arkansas. I had been in this state but a short time until I met him. Summary: The friend had not asked the drug clerk to drink on one certain occasion he would not have got drunk. If he hadn't been drunk he would not have made a mistake in filling the prescription, and had he not made a mistake. Mrs. Potter would not have been killed, and had she not died, Potter would not have left New York, and had he not left that city. I should not have met him, and had I not gone into business with him—"
"Oh, for goodness sake, hush. You are enough to drive anybody cray." She arose and left the room. Her husband mused: "I'll make her another bet. I'll bet she doesn't get that cloak. I have always thought that the logic of events failed to meet with proper appreciation in this country."—dr. kansaw Traveler.
Where the Word Dude Came
From
"When I was a child in Maryland my old negro nurse always called clothes 'dubs'; she had long been a house servant in a family of recent English extraction. At the great Southbridge fair, at Cambridge, which in the first quarter of this century annually attracted chapmen from all parts of the kingdom, the booths devoted to the drapers and tailors were termed 'dudders' boots; that was the duddery, "In that noble ely in which the Rev. Robert Burrows, dean of St. Finbar's cathedral, Cork, replaces the untimely taking off (by judicial suspension and consequent asphyxia) of his friend Lawrence, the stoie, we find a touching allusion to 'duds':
"The night before Larry was stretched,
the next day, that other Wes was still."
And bit in their sacks, too, they fetched,
They sweated their dudes, till they rig it.
They sweated their duds till they ilied "Thus, naturally, we got from the dud (clothes) 'dude'—one whose mind is given to consummate attire.
"*Dude is sometimes written 'puppy'*
— not without eminent authority. Diderot ('Vie do Seneca') finds no difference between a man and a dog but the clothes. 'To pudder' anciently signified to shake, to tremble—as one unsufficiently clad trembles with cold. The word that was first applied to the man who is in need of clothing came at last to be used for the man who applies it. Hence the tailor is a "ducker," and the thing he produces is a "shade." — J. W. P., in New York Orta.
A Man of Nerve.
"Know Jigbee? Of course I do and what's more, I know him to be a man of nerva."
"Nonsense! He's as timid as a mouse.
A man of nerve! Ha-ha!" What in the world put such a notion as that into your head?"
"Well, sir. I heard him contended his own wife the other day, and in public, too, at that."—Chicago Ledger.

My Dear Griffin;—I have heated my house with a furnace for five winters, including this, and have tried hard every kind of coal in this market. The Bice Mound coal which you have furnished me this winter, is far superior to any I have yet used, in every particular. It never "clinkers," burns to a clean ash, has plenty of heat, and is particularly desirable in keeping a steamy temperature for a long time without attention. I hardly think a better soft coal can be found.
We want to get our stock of Lamps out of the way. They are fine goods but are in our way. Accordingly we are selling them at cost and below. Look at them. GEO. Leas.

SCHAUM.—The little folks' dancing club had another of their enjoyable meetings Friday evening at the residence of Mr. Harry Schaum, on Henry street. The club is now one of the firmly established social institutions among the little folks, and its meetings are also looked forward to with pleasant anticipations by the older ones who are allowed to participate in the evening's enjoyment. The last one was no exception to the rule, and a very pleasant time was had by all present. The following were in attendance Friday evening; Misses Katie and Cievert Devereux, Carrie McEwen, Helen Hutchings, Annie Stewart, Rilla and Ella Van Hoesen, Donnie, Barry and Jean Bowersock, Bella Sinclair, May Stephens, Mabel and Ethel Diggs, Bella Hynnes, Jennie Innes; Messas, Jus Bowersock, Hal Noble, Albert Flintom, Bert Rankin, Fred Diggs, Warrie Benedict and Bert Spencer; Mr. Benefiel and wife, Mrs. George Ireson, Miss Davis, J. D. Bowersock and wife, A. L. Diggs and wife, Mrs. Van Hoesen, Miss Kate Stephens, Harry Wagoner, of Chicago, Miss Bernitz, Mrs. Meewen, Mrs. Emery.
A BEAN BAG PARTY—Saturday evening a few friends were most royally entertained at the home of Mr. Joel White. The entertaining feature of the evening was the beanbag game, and no little rivalry existed, the honors being carried off by J. Prescott. Those present were Misses Nella Fellure, Laura Lyon Agnes Wright, Mariand Shultz Emma White and Gertrude Crotty Mesrs. J. Prescott, W. S. Jenke T. S. Fritz, Y. M. White and A. W. Postlewaita.
How the Business Is Conducted with the Mikado's Kingdom.
THE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.
"During the Christmas week," she said Dr. McDonald, chief of the money-order division of the postal offices department, "bills of exchange amounting to nearly $100,000 and to be sent to England to cover the balance of money order business between that country and this, which means that the money sent to Great Britain from this country in the shape of money orders during Christmas week was more by a hundred thousand dollars than the money sent in the same way during the same time from Great Britain to the United States. The balances is always on the same side, which is easily accounted for by the fact that the Irish and English in this country send a great many small amounts of money to their friends at home, while the friends in home do not generally reciprocate. The balance of business with Italy is greater in proportion than with any other country. Last year money orders amounting to $900,000 were sent from the United States to Italy, whereas only $30,000 or one twentieth of this amount, came this way."
"Is the money-order system used to any considerable extent for general business?"
"No, it does not suit the purpose or trade. Only small sums—from $50—can be sent by money order. Subscriptions to newspapers and periodicals are generally used in that way, but it is not much used for other lines of business. There are now about twenty countries with which we have established a system of money-order exchange. Japan is the most recent accession. Since the 1st of October we have been exchanging orders with Japan. Up to the present Japan has sent more money orders to us than we have sent to Japan. The Japs in this country don't seem to make a practice of sending their spare cash to friends at home. A large proportion of the money transmitted by money orders between the United States and the empire of Mikado consists of newspaper subscriptions, and they seem to read our newspapers more than we read theirs. With Russia and Spain and several other important countries we have been unable to establish a money order exchange because these countries have no internal money order system, and so they can not co-operate with ours. As Lord Dunedreary "used to say, 'a bird can not flock alone.'"
"You have different needs of transmitting order to different countries?" "Yes. In the cases of France and England, and those countries where the French and English languages are understood, we send the orders and get advice direct. The order forms are printed in French and English, and a man in Baltimore can send direct by mail a money order for $10 or even $50 to a friend in Paris or in Dublin, but he cannot reach a friend in Japan so directly. The Japanese friend would probably not understand an order made out in French or English, and we cannot correspond in Japanese. We manage it in this way: All our money-order business with Japan is conducted through our postoffice at San Francisco and their post offices at Tokyo. All the orders issued in this country payable in Japan are sent to San Francisco, where they are all grouped on a list, which is made in English and sent to Tokyo. The postmaster at Tokio has the list translated, and he issues an order to the person who is to receive the money. Orders issued in Japan for payment here are treated vice versa. Copies of these lists are sent from the postoffice at San Francisco to the postoffice department in Washington, and at the one of every quarter, if we find that we have paid more money on orders issued in Japan than the Japanese have paid on orders sent from here, we want the Japanese government to send us a bill of exchange for the difference, and vice versa. A similar quarterly settlement is made with every other country. Sometimes the accounts are squared more frequently. For instance, as soon as the balance on another side amounts to $5,000 the debtor remits." — Washington Post.
Many a woman sights and weeps in secret because the husband of her youth has ceased to pay her the attentions of a lover. He coolly lets her pick up her own手提箱er, talks stillly out of the door before her, and lets her risk all sorts of disasters by clambering out of a double wagon unassisted. Now, we don't propose to excuse men for any such unappropriate lapses; but it is a fact that the majority of women cease to grow in attractiveness, or—to speak botanically—ease to put forth new buds of promised loveliness to challenge their husbands' personal adoration; and the perverse creatures ease to cast admiring glances at the old plant which has dropped its blossoms. Do you see the romance, nodded wedge? Treat yourself as you treat your plants. You give them fresh air and sunshine, fresh soil and more room for the advancing roots to grow in; give yourself more opportunities and room for mental growth and the cultivation of personal grace. Maybe it's too bad, but you can't blame a man much for not continuing to smile perpetually at the remembrance of honey tasted long ago. You must yoke a present sweetness and a promise of plenty in the future — Chicago Ledger.
Husbands and Lovers.
London society bus for the past few years had just cause for complaint about the scarcity of dancing men. Any number of men would go to the ball, but the majority would hang about the door and in the supper room, and but few make themselves useful. As the number decreased, the demand increased, and it is now not unusual for a "dancing" man to be asked to three or four dances in the same evening. Until now New York had no cause for complaint, and society men have done their duty in this respect most nobly.
Pressing Need of Benefits in the Ranks of the Tenors
Last year, however, a small close-
come on the horizon, which threatens
in time to expand to as great dimensions
as in London, and the remark is oftent-
hered, "where are all the men?" In
former years the title class in New York
was very small, but of late years, as
wealth has increased, the class of men
who do nothing has also enlarged. It might be, therefore, supposed that men would be easily obtainable and the ranks of "dancing" men increased.
Such, however, is not the case. One
reason is that a great young men now
a-day, who can afford it, find foreign
climes more congenial to their
tastes, and prefer to winter in England
or seek the warm breezes of Paris and
Cannes. Some few Anglo-maniacs also
are under the impression that it is fashionable to initiate the Tenth Hussars,
"who don't dance."
By far the larger classes, however, is composed of those who are afraid that if once they begin they will be unable to stop. The ordinary ball consists of a few polka and waltzes, supper and a German. A man enters the ball-room, and seeing someone he knows, asks for a dance. After the turn is over he would naturally like to ask someone else, but in a weak moment he proposes a stroll around the room, and his fate is then soiled, and until supper relieves him he will continue his tramp around the room, changed only by an occasional turn which he nor his partner enjoys. The girl knows pretty well that if she proposes a return to her chaperon, she will remain standing or sitting by herself for a considerable time, and, therefore, naturally hangs on grim death to the man she has caught, and he not having sufficient moral courage to take the ball by the horns, and propose the return, says nothing. This hesitation is caused in a great measure by the absurd plan of couples walking round and round the room, thereby taking up the greater part of dancing space, and hiding everyone sitting down. A ball room is not the place for a "going-as-you-please," and the fatigues of the evening are very much increased by the number of miles covered by the hapless couple, whose peregrination seem only to be ended by the call to supper. This is the real reason why so many men will not dance. They are afraid of being "stuck" to one girl all the evening.
This could be changed if the aburd plans of strolling were put a stop to. A man could then ask a girl to dance, and the turn over, take her back to her chaperon, make his bow, and retire. Whereens now, he thinks a舞, rather too ardous an undertaking, and prefers to look on and wait till the German, when he knows his penance will be limited. The girls, on the other hand, who go to a舞, only have a turn or two with the same man, do not care to stay for the German, and go home tired, bored and disgusted. Naturally, no girl can throw herself alone into the breach and demand to be taken back to her chaperon, as she would probably remain there, but if some of the leaders of society and the managers, say, of the Cottilons and Matriarchs, would bestir themselves and request that valuable space was not taken up, and the system of walking round the room stopped during the time the music continues, the ranks of dancing men would speedily receive a great many recruits, and the dances, in general, profit by the abolition of what is an absurdity, and, besides, a sellish custom. Of course, these remarks do not refer to "belles!" they have any number of applicants for this reason partly that the applicant knows he will soon be relied; but belles are not always bells, and though a thing of beauty may be a joy forever, it does not last forever, and for their own good in the future, they should be glad to aid in changing the present regime, and the sooner all ranks combine to do something, the sooner will the deserts from the dancing ranks be stopped.—New York Hour.
None of His Business
DANGING MEN.
"Mister, will you please give me a dime?" asked a boy of a gruff looking man.
"Why should I give you a dime?" "To get something to eat with."
"Why should I care whether you eat or not." It's some of my business."
Shortly afterward, as the man was running to catch a car, his plug hit blow off and went rolling at a rapid rate.
"Please stop that hat," he shouted to a boy.
"Why should I stop your hat?" the boy replied. "It's none of my business."
"Now look there, you young wretch a wagon has run over it."
That's so, but why should I care it's none of my business."—Ardanus

The Handel and Haydn society had a meeting at the I. O. O. F. hall Monday night. There were seventy-five members present. No new members will be admitted until after the concert.
TURNER.—Miss Lillie Turner entertained a few of her friends last Thursday evening. The amusements consisted of singing, dancing and six hand eurecae. Those present were: Misses Lena Beard, Emma Blackington and Lillie Turner; and Messrs, W. A. Jackson, Dent Hogeboom and Jep Davis.
The Kappa Alpha Theta, with its black cover and gold letters, came out last week. It is published by Kappa chapter, and ranks among the best fraternity magazines. Agnes Emery is the editor-in-chief, and Maggie Eidemiller and May Webster her assistants. Hattie Haskell looks after the business affairs of the paper. In such able hands the paper cannot be but a success.
On next Wednesday evening we are to be unusually favored in the amusement line, by the presentation of "Little Barefoot," by Maggie Mitchell. Miss Mitchell is one of the brightest and liveliest of American actresses, and considered by many to be superior to Lotta or Minnie Palmer. This is certainly the chance for those who have been growing about the lack of good attractions. Go and see her.
Kansas has thirteen good men, who seem to be satisfied with everything, except, possibly, their semi-annual, which gives little information other than that they keep track of their alumni and have for an ally the I.

The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. gave a reception to their friends last Friday evening. Dr. Lippincott delivered a short and interesting address; Maud Thrasher rendered a declamation in her usual happy style; Mr. Higgins sang a solo, and then there was supper; and such a supper—it showed that the Y. M. C. A. fully appreciated the wants of the inner man.
This is hard on the I. C.s
The joint committee on ways and means reported the pharmacy bill to the house Wednesday with the recommendation that it pass. We anticipate no trouble now.
One of the most pleasant parties ever given in Lawrence, was that given by Herb Bullene last Wednesday evening. It was a Mikado party, and the novelty of the affair, of course, added interest.
B. C. Preston, at one time our fighting editor, is the hero of a cutting scrape. He was going east over the Wabash road when a gentleman claimed his seat, which Mr. Preston refused to give him. The gentleman then drew a revolver and was about to do Mr. Preston, when he executed a flank movement, drew a large knife and cut the gentleman quite seriously.

The Topeca Capital has the following to say in regard to the consolidation: "The "consolidated" University Council has made its appearance, and promises to do a great good, where heretofore there has been a continual war and wasting of words. We wish the new paper the greatest success, and trust it will fill the excellent field it has without any further recourse to two "Dromios."
The University Review, one of the six publications issued from the Kansas State University, is before us. It is "fresh" as the flowers that bloom in the spring; demolishes the Wichita Eagle at one fell swoop; informs the country that Fitz Jain Porter was "unjustly stripped" of his commission, and rebukes "bitter participation" of General John A. Logan, and states that the Indian is a "paradox," which is one mean thing we had not heard of him before. — Atchison Champion.
Messrs. H. J. Rushner & Son, jewelers, have furnished and put up in the University within the past few days, an electric watch-clock, manufactured by the celebrated watch and clock makers, E. Howard & Co., of Boston. This clock is designed to keep a record of the watchman's visits to the different parts of the building, as well as for ringing bells at the end of recitations in the different rooms, and for keeping accurate time. This is undoubtedly the finest clock in the state. The price of it was $250.
On last Friday evening the boys of Phi PSi made a farewell call on Miss Famie Pratt at the home of her friend, Miss Hattie Haskell.
A Pleasant Surprise.
The arrival of the boys was a complete surprise to Miss Pratt, but did not find her unprepared to entertain with usual grace.
The Theta Girls, invited by Miss Haskell, were present and added pleasure to the occasion.
Mr. Gilmore, in behalf of the visiting company, presented to the fair hostess a beautiful silver card case as a slight token of the regard in which she is held by the Phi País, and as a slight evidence of their appreciation of a true and worthy friend.
As the company dispersed, after an evening of enjoyment, clouded only by the thought of the loss of one who has made herself so dear to all each one, in thought at least, expressed the wish:
May fortune attend you,
And pleasures untold;
And long may you live-
But never grow old.

Will Gillespie, a student from Fort Worth, Texas, has disappeared for parts unknown, leaving many debts and a roommate minus fifteen dollars. Gillespie is the person who has been stealing the gloves, mutilers, etc., from the boys' overcourt pockets. He was detected in this by a COURSE reporter, but on promising to do better, he was not exposed. The last seen of Gillespie was Friday afternoon when he boarded a U. P. train for Kansas City. He will probably not return to these parts for some time. He comes from a good 'family', his father being wealthy, and was at one time a member of the legislature from Atchison county, where Gillespie formerly lived. Will formerly had a bad reputation, and had spent a term in the state reform school, but for two years past he has borne a good reputation, and seemed desirous of making a man of himself. His friends are unable to account for his actions.

We have several times heard complaints against the management of the one bus line in this city. Recent experience has convinced us that the complaints were well grounded.
The lack of accommodation shown by Mr. Frieker is well known to the students; still we could put up with that and say nothing, but when to this is added insult and profane abuse, we object.
If bus men and livery men wish to retain the patronage of students, they must be decent and accommodating.
In looking over the back numbers of either the Courier or the Review, one cannot help noticing the frequent attacks made upon fraternities. With no other evidence than that given in these two papers, one would be forced to the conclusion that of all the evils which attach themselves to a University, none is so gross as the existence of fraternities.
But when we examine the list of editors and find that fully three-fourths are fraternity men, we discover the peculiar richness of the joke.
At the reception recently given to Bishop Ninde by the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, the Bishop expressed the opinion that the benefits of fraternity life were inestimable.
Dr Lippincott, who, although not a fraternity man, was present by special invitation, spoke as one who had made a careful study of the question of fraternities. He thought, with Bishop Ninde, that although there might be some evils and abuses connected with fraternities, yet as a whole, their influence is healthful and ennobling,
Such concurrent evidence as this, coming from persons in the highest positions, one representing the Greek and the other the non-fraternity, world, ought to be of peculiar interest to some anti-fraternity "howlers" connected with the University.
In last week's issue of the "Sullivan Courier" appeared a sharp criticism of the oratorial contest.
The writer of the article, who signs his name as "M.," seems to have been very much amused at the gestures made by the speakers. He says "They were the most ludicrously absurd pirouetts I have seen in some time." Yes, I dare say "M." is right. It has been "some time" since we have seen such "ludicrously absurd pirouetts." Perhaps nothing has appeared quite so "ludicrously absurd" since "M." appeared on the stage in the December contest.
In his next paragraph "M.," expresses his surprise at the lack of religious subjects. Here we agree again. We, too, were surprised. How strange it is that great minds
often think through the same quill!
We expected to hear "M.'s" strictly religious article on that occasion, but were grieved to learn that "M." had been cut out of the contest for reasons only known to the judges. The next feature of the contest which suffers beneath "M.'s" scorching pen is the subject matter of the orations. He speaks of them as "a stale and hackeyed rehash of Sophomoric ethics." It is quite evident that "M." is not "stuck" on hash. Here we differ with him. Hash is our favorite dish. Still, "there are different grades of hash." But this "rehash" is good—especially the brands made from "Sophomorie ethics." Recently we were served a dish of this peculiar quality of hash made from the brain and sinews of Wendell Phillips. You might not think it, but really, it was very palatable—very palatable indeed.
--opposition which the Democrats offer to Senator Ingalls' bill.
The colored people of the District of Columbia have presented a petition to congress asking for relief from the discrimination made against them in public places, such as theatres, hotels, lunch rooms, etc.
Senator Ingalls has introduced a bill to amend the license laws of the District so as to prohibit such discrimination. As northern people, we naturally accept the theory of race equality, and heartily applaud the action of our Kansas senator. But are we not a little inconsistent in this? Do we second by our actions what we in theory profess? I fear not. How many would patronize the hotel where white and colored people were required to dine at the same table? Not many, I am sure. And I presume to say that nearly every one who reads these lines, and even Senator Ingalls himself, would most seriously object to occupying a seat next to a colored person, either in a railway coach or the theatre.
As a matter of fact, no matter how much we advocate race equality, we decline on every occasion to associate with the negro. Without realizing the fact, we compel every first class hotel or theatre to make a discrimination. Still, if any one should say that we were oppressing the colored race, we would be greatly offended.
What then, do we mean when we say that there should be social equality. Perhaps we do not know what we mean, or we may mean nothing at all. However, if we may draw a conclusion from the logic of actions, we mean simply this: Every negro—provided he has like endowments—is just as good as a white man, and is equal to him. But being just as good does not make him just the same; neither does equality make him equivalent. When we say that there should be equality, we do not mean that there should be community. No matter how much we contend against the idea, the fact remains that there is an unpassible gulf between the two races. Not because one is infinitely higher or better than the other, but because there is a difference in temperament and mental qualities which prevents their having little if anything in common.
There should be equality, but not necessarily community. The colored people should be allowed to have their own hotels and theatres, and the same privilege should be granted to the white people. This is what we believe. Of course we will forget this before the next election, and make great political capital out of the
For this reason we do not desire to associate with the negroes; neither do the negroes as a class desire to associate with us. It seems a matter of mutual pleasure that the two societies should be separate and independent.
"There are not the pretty girls ii
the University that there used to be."
The Decline of Pretty Girls.
This is the refrain we hear from our college boys every day in the year. A sigh long-drawn and deep, generally accompanies the words, to speak their truthfulness and intensity. The frequency with which the complaint is uttered, forces it to our earnest attention.
There is always a lament that things of the olden days were better than they now are. We have no such创ators as we had in our Freshman days. Our college papers are not as bright as they were some years ago. The halcyon days of the Greek societies are gone forever. There is not the life, the fun, the excitement that attended the times when the chancellor and regents were sent up to Atchison to attend the funeral of a mighty lively corpse. These are degenerate days.
Making all due allowance for the tendency to glorify the past and be little the present, the fact is too patent to be denied, that we have not the number of pretty girls we once had. We do not say all the girls of the University are uncomely, for there are many exceptions. We are particular to mention the fact of these "exceptions," for every girl who reads this will consider herself the "exception," and not take hair-pulling issue with the writer.
But admitting the decline of pretty girls in K. S. U., what of it? Are we not better off? Brains and beauty seldom go together. Brains are rare, beauty plentiful. Pretty girls can be picked up anywhere. They may be found in any number behind shop counters, doling out lace and spool-cotton to customers. They may be found in the front rows of the chorus of every opera, posing in abreviated costume for the small pittance of ten dollars a week. They may be found in every hotel and restaurant as waitresses, spilling grease over guests' clothes, while endeavoring some silly flirtation. Aye, even go to the barroom, and you will still find the pretty girls, pulling corks and pouring champaign. The whole of a pretty girl's education seems to lie in a comely face, a voluptuous neck, a pair of well rounded shoulders and a symmetrical figure. In conversation you find her stilted with mannerisms. In the waltz she insists on treading on your toes. At supper she eats with a knife, and drinks tea from the saucer. Take her any way you will, the pretty girl is a delusion and a snare.
Now we sincerely hope we have demonstrated the fallacy of pretty girls. We hope our brethren in pants will go nobly to work and address themselves to the long neglected girls whom nature endowed with sense at the expense of outward attractions. As college men, as men of taste, culture and intellect, pay homage to brains rather than beauty. Let never again another wall go up at the decline of pretty girls in K. S. U. Do penance for past neglect by vying with each other in your attention to the brilliant, if not the handsome girls, with whom the University is enriched. Let the reform begin at once.
Considering the subject in all its details, should we not congratulate ourselves that the pretty queens no longer reign in Mother Oread's halls? Does not the decline of the pretty girl speak the rise of true womanly accomplishments? Are we not reaching that goal to which all higher education should tend?
(This is our advice to the other boys. In the meanwhile we shall stick to the pretty girls.)
SAINTS AND SINNERS.
Corman space being limited, I don't know that it will pay to publish Bryant C. Preston's sensational ups and downs as he skites around the country. The latest I learn, however, is from the Kansas City Times dispatches. Preston squatted at random in a railroad car choir which some passenger came along and claimed. Preston refusing to quit claim his preemption at the say-so of so common an individual, the traveler offered a new argument in the shape of a Smith Wesson revolver. Our ex-editor yerked a huge pocket knife from the depths or his breeches pocket, and cut the stranger a severe gash in the breast. The two were then separated. I can imagine no more exciting episode since the day that Preston flew down Massachusetts street with his washing under his arm, a Chinese laundry-man chasing with a corn knife, and swearing the most fearful oaths to be found in the Mikado's unabridged dictionary. But Preston came out ahead, as he generally does.
Don't mistake that look of woe on the face of the gay student who failed on examinations as arising from the thought of retaking his old studies. No, no, no. It's because he will have to sit and listen and laugh at the same added jokes which he endured all of last session.
Somehow "Smith" failed to receive his regular invitation for the Y. M. C. A. reception last Friday night. I'll bet the jack-pot that Yearsley White, Harry Rushmer, George Hackman and some other old sinners, are responsible for this. Still, they cannot cause me to waver in my battle for the Saints. Never!

Prof. Carruth takes advantage of the first halt in his peregrinations to write the great religious college weekly that "In the field, difficulties present themselves which we cannot forsee or fully appreciate in the classroom. In political economy these difficulties come chiefly from the human factor, which is intractable to vulgar physical arithmetic." I take this as the first sign that our teacher of Teuton is becoming a protectionist. But for the vulgar "human factor," college free-tradism might be a doctrine of pure gold instead of hammered brass, as it now is.
I regret to see that the papers of several colleges are engaged in fighting one another. Why can't they exist in brotherly harmony, as we do in K. S. U.
It is all right to erect levies to keep the waters from overflowing, but who ever before heard of putting up a Dyche for the Snow.
There are some people in the University of such practical proclivities (I wont call it thick-headedness) that they imagine I am in deadly enmity with everything I venture to criticise. If I call a student a "sinner," they can think of him in no other light than a veritable pick-pocket or a debauchee. If I speak of the unsociability of Lawrence churches, they imagine I am down on religion. If I twit the faculty on some of its foibles, they fancy I am ready to raze the University to the ground. But perhaps the funniest misapprehension is in regard to my attitude to the Y. M. C. A. Because I have frequently made it a subject for humorous paragraphs, they conclude I have a deadly hatred for the Association. To calm these anxious souls, I may say that I regard the Y. M. C. A. as the best institution religion has yet established. I resent the intolerance exhibited by some of its members; yet the work
of the Association itself commends the highest praise. Especially creditable is the work of the branch here in Lawrence. Secretary Barr is one of those mighty fine fellows with whom you always feel at home, and with whom you can talk in every day English without using "thee" and "thou." The Association has met the new students as they came to town, and removed the chill of strangeness from their feet. A number of poor students have been helped to situations. Receptions have been given. A well equipped reading room has been provided. The Young Women's C. A., composed of some of the nicest girls in the University, have rendered splendid aid to the social side of the affair. It is this practical kind of religion that beats all the sermons and religious tracts in the world.
Baker student. 1st. No, we cannot give reduced rates to doughnuts preparing for the ministry, however large the club. Fifty cents per year is as low as we can publish the Courama and pay our regular 100 per cent dividends. 2nd. We can't receive your billiard chips in payment for subscription. Our printer wont take them, so we can't.
It isn't often that the printer comes in for a good word from the editor, and it is not infrequently that he has to take the abuse that others deserve. I embrace the opportunity, therefore, on the heels of consolidation, to say that more genial and accommodating printers than H. A. Cutler and his foreman, George Hickok, never put foot in this classic metropolis.

The class of '86 is considering the matter of graduating in gowns. By all means, do. Most of the members already have gowns. They are of pleasing resemblance to that worn by Lady Macbeth in her sleep walking scene, and those used by Epsicopal clergymen. Those who do not have them can borrow from '87. All we insist upon is that these costumes be sufficiently long.
It being definitely settled that '86 is to graduate in gowns, we suggest as an effective contrast, that the faculty appear on the rostrum in swallow tail coats and silk plug hats.
For the first time in years Lawrence has a first class newspaper; and now it's not one, but three. It is almost unnecessary to add that these new developments are largely the result of three University boys, yclept Morgan, Webster and Dean, The Herald-Tribune is probably the best locally, as Morgan gets to pick all the plums from the daily news pudding before Dean can get his fingers in the dish. The Journal has the associated press reports, which it has learned to summarize and display to good effect. Dean is also a night hawk for items. Webster, though anything but a success when on a daily, has brought his weekly Gazette to the front as a spicy sheet, brim full of sharp sayings. How a Republican like Webster can edit a Democratic organ, however, is one of the inexplicables. Whether any of these papers are making money, is beyond my ken. I hope they are. If they are satisfied, surely the people ought to be.
After a long rigmarole which may mean something or may mean nothing, W. H. Krap makes a good point in the last COURIER when he says the students should be better acquainted. When a fellow sits in class four years, graduates and leaves the University without ever having received an introduction or spoken a word to some of his classmates, it is indeed a pretty state of things. Yet this has occurred time and again. The only way out of this "nine-hole," so far as I can see, is to boom the literary societies. Yet there is little hope in this direction as long as the faculty refuse to let the societies have night sessions. SMITH.

I think the good Lord has meted out to Kansas her full measure of mummings; that the pail is bursting its staves and running over at the top. The worst humbug, too, in the whole bucket is so neatly covered and so prettily labbed as to deceive ordinary observers. I refer to what is called the "County Normal Institu-
The "Normal Institute" was intended to be, and is pretended to be, a short summer school for the improvement of teachers and the teacher's profession. Instead it has been an injury to teachers and the death of the profession; if, indeed, there has ever been anything among teachers that attained the dignity of a "profession." In short, the Normal institute, which if rightly operated, would have made better teachers, better wages, better schools, has in reality spawned a trash of teachers, held down wages and degenerated the schools. To go through the manifestations of the process, would be as tiresame as it is loathing. A few scraps from here and there will show the quality of the fabric.
has ever been anything but a profession." In short, the Normal Institute, which if rightly operated, would have made better teachers, better wages, better schools, has in reality spawned a trash of teachers, hold down wages and degenerated the schools. To go through the ramifications of the process, would be as tiresome as it is boiling. A few scraps from here and there will show the quality of the fabric.
A large number of sharks, who have always snapped up what meat the educational sea of Kansas afforded, struck for the Normal Institute the moment it was launched. Unit to teach themselves, they set themselves up as teachers of teachers. This fact, as well as others mentioned, I give not only from my own observation, but from statements of those in position to know—county superintendents and others—as well as from the confession of a particularly successful specimen himself. Having their influence in a political, religious or friendly way, these sharks have kept closely after the vessel, snapping up the fat and lucrative positions of county after county, as drawn out to them. Excercable teachers have been selected to conduct institutes at salaries of $100 to $150 per month. One back-set, however, was in the way. Most of the institutes were held at about the same time, so these fellows couldn't cover but one or two nest-eggs in the course of the summer. But at the late Teachers' Association they got in their work by passing a resolution that the Normal Institutes of the counties should commence and end so there should be three series, one following upon the exact terminal date of the other. Why? Because, forsooth, the sharks might get three institutes apiece in the course of a three months' vacation. When, a few years ago, State Supt. Speer deprecated the practice of any institute conductor taking charge of more than one institute, these educational mountebanks whined like puppies whose tails has been trampled upon.
The instructors who assist the conductors have largely been selected from the small-fry pedagogues of the counties, whose rural political influence might boost the county superintendents. Then to the institutes are invited the boys and girls, many of whom are scarcely out of their swaddling clothes. The better teachers keep away generally, or disgusted, leave the business. This is why our institute rolls are made up most entirely of school girls, and of so precious few professional teachers. The attendance at the institute practically insures certificates, which hoists these so-called "teachers" to the school room. I remember when two years ago at the State Teachers' Association it was proposed to exclude these infants by making the work of the institutes strictly professional; the resolution was quickly tabled Wherefore? Because the dollars of the school lads and misses are the
get their food. The reading of the doings of one of these institutes, of the balls, the suppers, the distirations, is enough to sicken any one who has a just appreciation of true Normal work. There are a few good conductors in the state; a few good institutes; a few counties with a well disciplined corps of teachers; but they are very rare. Either the present legislature should require that the work of institutes be professional and not high school instruction, or else they should put a can of statutory dynamite on the Normal Institute and blow it to Hades.
SMITH.
Girls' Views.
In a recent COUCHER one signing himself "M," wonders why girls never have any views, or if they have why they never give them to the world. Now I wonder if that is to be considered a challenge or a masculine sneer at the scarcity of girls' ideas. I hardly think the latter, for if my womanly intuitions do not mislead me, "M." very highly values girls' oppinions—good opinions, and not one girls' alone, but all. In fact, "M." is what some one calls "a general lover." But girls have very decided oppinions upon many topics, and there is one that may be mentioned. Why is it considered necessary for our professors to occasionally, towards the close of an interesting recitation, to say, "Mr.—— I wish to see you—in fact, I wish to excuse the ladies and speak to all the gentlemen alone."
Now if this professor had something to communicate to the class, essential or belonging to the studies in question, I contend that we girls should have been allowed to remain.
Is there any information relative to our studies being withheld from us? If so, we most earnestly protest. And if the matter was such as ought not to reach girls' ears, as girls we again protest against our brothers and our gentlemen friends listening to it. If the subject was not sufficiently refined for us, it was not for them. We claim for them the same immunity from aught that can dim or tarnish their purity that is granted us. Some one has said, "God's laws are for soul and not for sex," and we think our boys should be as carefully guarded as their sisters, and what is needed information for them is need-for us also. Let us stand on an absolute equality—intellectual, social and moral—and there cannot be two ways of accomplishing this.
And, oh yes, there's another thing of which we girls often speak—personal neatness. Some of you dear boys would be much more agreeable if greater attention were given to the little things that go to make up the ensemble of a gentleman. They are little things, but it makes all the difference in the world.
There is a story told of a student, once in K. S. U., that bears upon this subject and embodies "we girls" opinions. Several representative girl students were discussing Mr. manners in society and "the class room. His intellectual abilities were acknowledged to be exceptional. But, said one, "He is such a critic, and so sarcastic;" adding reflectively, "but Mr.—has always such clean hands and nails, such spotless linen, we can forgive h im." That's just it; much will be overlooked if the amenities of life are not forgotten. And we, the present girls of K. S. U., say emphatically, the girls were right. Absolute personal neatness counts for much. So boys, use your nail brush, tooth brush, blacking brush and clothes brush; be considerate, chivalric and gentle, and the girls' views upon your individual merits will always be favorable.

SULLIVAN.—Mr. John Sullivan entertained his old staff and a few of his friends at dinner last Sunday. The dinner was one of the finest ever spread in Lawrence, and the boys did justice to it. After drinking to the health of Mr. Sullivan, several toasts were proposed, the leading one being "Long life to the Courier." Mr. Sullivan responded to this in a very happy vein. John omitted nothing which would tend to make the occasion a happy one, and after dinner pure Havannas were provided. Those present were S. W. Shattuck, Oscar Poehler, R. E. Hayslett, W. T. and Frank Reed, J. E. Griffith, Chas. Elwell, W. W. Davis, Al Curdy, A. W. Postlethwait, Ross Wemple, A. L. Burney, W. Y. Morgan, E. G. Blair and Harry Smith.
Concert.
The concert given by the musica department last Tuesday evening was the best of the course, and the audience was much larger than usually assemblies on such occasions. The audience paid closer and better attention than is usual on such occasions. This was due in a large measure to the fact that the audience was not annoyed by cries and howls from the small boys who generally frequent such places, but on this occasion was prohibited.
All of Prof. MacDonald's selections were well received, as they always are. The duet by Miss Hattie Haskell and Prof. Aldrich was one of the treats of the evening. Both are general favorites with Lawrence audiences, and last night added another laurel to their crowns. Prof. Aldrich also sang to good advantage in his two baritone solos. Miss Birdie Starr's soprano solo certainly merited the applause it received. Miss Starr is one of the finest soprano singers in Lawrence. Prof. MacDonald and Mabel Gore executed a most difficult duet on two pianos. Miss Gore is making an excellent reputation as a pianist. The concert was so successful on the whole, that there is talk of having it repeated.
The action of the faculty which has prevented the students from discussing political subjects from the chapel rostrum, although, perhaps, warranted by some considerations, is in other respects quite objectionable.
The whole subject of this restriction, so far as we are informed, is to prevent any criticism of a political nature which might be brought against the teachings of the University.
It is the opinion of the COURIER, as the representative of the students whose interests are to be consulted quite as much as the interests of the faculty, that the price paid for this indolent peace is too great. Under this restriction the interest which formerly was manifested by the students in the affairs of our government and the world is continually decreasing. The student ought to be well informed on all the political questions of the day. But this would require an amount of reading quite beyond the limits of the spare time allotted to any student. By permitting the free discussion of these subjects from chapel rostrum, this very desirable information could be obtained without loss of time. A great interest would be taken in all the social and political questions which so soon will present themselves with stern reality. Perhaps we would get more criticism, but is that to scare us out of the ligitimate pursuit of knowledge?
B. D. Smith, a Junior from Cornell College, will represent Iowa at the inter-state oratorial contest. The subject of his oration is the "Interdependence of Moral and Intellectual Development."
Beyond the Portals.
Angel, open wide the portals,
Pray withhold not now thine hand ;
Let us see the golden splendor
OC that bright celestial land
Long wee struggled in the darkness,
Fears and doubts our spirit grieve;
Let us see the Heavenly Mansion, that we fully may believe.
And the Angel, in compassion, Opened then the portals wide
To the Mansion of the Blessed Followers of the crucified.
Angel, wide wide the portals,
Still, was all the supiniform's plea :
Let me see the throne of glory,
Emblem of Eternity.
"Lo, the Mansion is before you!" Sweetly spake the Fair fair,
"In the joys of noble Manhood You can see it everywhere."
Heaven has no titrations, Knows of neither time nor space;
It is *quality* or *nurge*, Found in Character—not place.
Then he saw beyond the portals
Sainted millions gone before,
While the waves of countless ages Brooke in ripples on the shore.
Angel, we have seen the Mansion,
Fears and doubts no longer erieve.
If our character makes Heaven,
Surely we may then believe.

The faculty will probably not announce the Senior appointments until the first of May. They say that as soon as a Senior receives an appointment he drops all other work, and for all the good he receives he might as well be out of school. There is something in this, and we believe the plan of putting off the appointments a good one.

The ever melancholy face of the "Bakeay" president was made even more woe-begone the other morning, when he had to announce that twelve students were to be suspended for one day for being out serenading after 10 o'oelock. The twelve students sent the faculty a vote of thanks for the holiday.
Miss Lena Beard gave a pleasant progressive euchre party last Monday evening. Besides the euchre playing there was singing and music. Elegant refreshments were served during the evening. The winners at the royal table were Lillie Turner and Obe Taylor, and at the booby table Emma Blackinton and Swope. Those present were Misses Helen Sutliff, Emma White, Gertie Crotty, Emma Blackinton, Lillie Turner and Lena Beard, and A. L. Swope, Jep Davis, Obe Taylor, Yearsley White, Chas. Lyons and W. A.

In this "age of ink" when the greatest and the best thoughts of the world are placed in our possession through the medium of the "press," it is necessary for every person who would make a permanent impress upon society, to learn how to push the pen.
It is not too much to say that among the many advantages connected with the University, none are more beneficial than the opportunities offered for engaging in literary work. The publication of four magazines and one weekly paper by the students of the University is a fact full of significance. It seems to throw some light on the question as to who shall mould the public sentiment in the State of Kansas twenty years from now. If we are rightly informed the opportunities offered for literary culture in the University of Kansas are not inferior to the advantages in a like direction of any college in the United States. Yet despite all these opportunities—almost forced upon the students of the University—only comparatively small numbers take advantage of them.
It may be that the small number engaged in journalistic work neglect to some extent important class room work, yet the fact remains that the great mass of the students are neglecting a more important literary work. Let us see a change in this respect. The columns of the Courier are always open and contributions will be thankfully received.
--well as religion itself. A fruitful source of irreligion is mutual denunciation among sects. Nobody knows how to teach morality effectively without religion. In the class room the teachers can demonstrate that science is creating a very spiritual idea of God, and that there is no real incompatibility between religion and science."
President Elliot, of Harvard, made the following sound remarks in his debate with Dr. McCosh, of Princeton:
"What is the advantage of the unsectarian college? I answer that under its wings all forms of religion are safe. It offers security against any attack on a student's faith. Voluntary activity in religious matters is stimulated. When young men make a choice it is a conscious one. They learn that the doctrines and rules of living common to all sects have more practical importance than the doctrines about which sects differ.
What, on the other hand, are the disadvantages of an unsectarian college? It is asserted that it loses influence through want of support by any sect. It appears to be indifferent to religion. It does not know truth from error. There is a fallacy in these assertions. One may enthusiastically believe a doctrine, and yet be opposed to forcing it upon another. Toleration does not mean indifference. Religious liberty does not mean that interest in religion is extinguished. A national college in America must be tolerant. In all colleges students should be taught to respect even the forms of religion, as
Perhaps there is no branch of education which will add so much to the general culture of an individual as a knowledge of the correct pronunciation of words. And yet in our whole system of education there is no branch which receives so little attention. Students enter the University wholly ignorant of the pronunciation of the most common words, and what is worse, too many leave the University in full possession of this "blessed" ignorance.
No one can question the statement that this is a branch which is sadly neglected. Each professor engaged in what he considers the more weighty matters of his department, leaves this subject untouched. If any one questions these statements, let him take penile and tablet in hand and note the errors in pronunciation which he hears in a single day. He will be convinced by an argument much stronger than we can make in general terms.
It is indeed a matter of surprise that students so far advanced in other studies should know so little of Orthoepy, but yet when we consider that this is not taught as a regular study, and that it receives so little attention in connection with other studies, our surprise is not so great. And if we were to add the statement which can be truthfully made—that some of the professors themselves do not use the correct pronunciation of words common to their departments of study, we might consider the ignorance spoken of as quite natural and fully justified by the course of training.
In writing the above article we fear we have incurred the displeasure of some member of the faculty, yet before laying this paper aside in "righteous indignation," it might be well to look over the following list of words mispronounced by different professors in class room work within a period of four weeks, and in the hearing of a single student:
Lament-able
Ab-do-men (accent, second syllable).
Ap-pa-ra-tus (long a, third syllable).
Memoir (mem-wor).
Column (um, not "yum").
Squa-lor (long a).
Jug-ular (long u).
Sacrifice (fiz).
Exaggerate (egz-aj-er-ate).
Acoustics (a-cow-sticks).
Leisure (le-zhure).
Fully as many more words could be added to this list if space would permit.
It is probable that most of these errors occurred through carelessness, yet it may not be out of order to call attention to the fact that what instructors do through carlessness, pupils are only to read to follow as the truth.
It is unnecessary to say to the student that he should be careful in this respect, and cultivate a correct pronunciation. Make an acquaintance with Webster at an early date. Keep pencil and tablet at hand and note all words of whose pronunciation you are not positive; you will be repaid. It will take but little time and will add much culture. Try it.
The Pharmacy bill has passed the Senate by a vote of 23 to 11. Hurrah!
Of the twelve Seniors who were suspended from Ohio Wesleyan University for attending "Richard III," eight have showed their independence and good sense by not returning. Of this number S. R. Greer, F. P. Irvin, F. T. Pennington, E. D. Stout, Clarence Murphy and F. P. Blackford have enrolled at DePauw University; C. F. Hoover has entered Harvard, and M. G. Park has gone to Florida to regain his health. These Seniors, while home during their suspension, were advised by all their friends not to sign the "iron-clad pledge," so they returned at the close of last term and petitioned the faculty to relieve them from signing the pledge and accept instead an apology and a promise not to break the rule again. But since the faculty would not recognize their petition they determined not to re-enter. The loss of these students to the Ohio Wesleyan University can hardly be estimated, for not only has the university lost eight of the best students in the senior class and the most aggressive and spirited men in the school, but the fact of their leaving has discouraged others, and it now seems that these will be followed by another delegation at the close of the year. The withdrawal of the Seniors has been almost entirely the subject of conversation among the students of O. W. U. since the opening of the term, January 6, and their action is universally indorsed. Of those who withdrew, five are on the Transcript corps. In the fraternites Phi Kappa Psi loses one, Phi Gamma Delta two and Beta Theta Pi three.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
When will college faculties learn that st ud nts have some rights that they are bound to respect? Ohio Wesleyan is one of the most prosperous and munificently endowed educational institutions in the West, and last year had over 600 students. The faculty is composed of gentlemen from whom this piece of sickning tyranny and bigotry would hardly be expected. But as is usually the case when churchmen have power that can not be called in question, they use it to further their own prejudices. It makes no difference how silly or nonsensical they may be, viewed in the light of every day common sense, they will enforce them to the last extreme. We doubt not that if the wise gentlemen who compose the faculty of O. W. U. had sufficient power they would have punished the boys who had the hardihood to desire to study the great masters of the English tongue, with the bastinade or stock, as was the beautiful custom when priests ruled the world. But thanks to the advance of civilization, this is impossible, and as is plainly evident from the above clipping, the worthy gentlemen will not go scott free, although there is no higher authority that can, in personam, call them to account. The public press and public opinion will perhaps awaken them from their dream to the fact that they are living in the nineteenth century, and among nine tenths of enlightened people, the study of Shakespeare is considered proper.

We are glad that DePauw has taken them in, and we hope that she may reap the full benefit. Although a sectarian school, the management is evidently directed by men who appreciate the spirit of the age and do not still imagine that they are living in the time when it was considered a sin of the deepest dye to even read a play. They are evidently not like the minister, who, finding a copy of Shakespeare in the library of John Wesley after his death, cast it on the floor, and seizing the fire tongs threw it into the fire with holy horror.
SAINTS AND SINNERS.
The pilfering carried on by Gillespie is not the first theivery of which the cloak room has been a victim. Some years ago, in the college babyhood of the present Seniors, the gloves and handkerchiefs took frequent occasion to stray away from overcoat pockets while their owners were absent in class-room. In vain were the lost articles advertised from the paste-bedaubed bulletin board—the strays never returned. Finally the Frenchman from Cork, Herr Brenen, who then lorded it as superintendent of buildings, started out as detective. This was a vocation for which he was eminently fitted. Concealing himself in a doorway one day, he caught the pickpocket rummaging the overcoats When the thief had finished his job Brenen stepped out square before him, pointing to the coats. Without a word on either side, the pocket lifter returned the plunder to its rightful place, and went out of the University never to return. Society wondered why it was that one of its most prominent and wealthy members departed so suddenly from town, but outside of Brenen and a few others no one ever knew the true reason.

Why is it that the study of political economy is reserved for the last year of the college course, while Greek and Roman history is spread out as the first dish on the college bill of fare? Only a small proportion of our students ever get through the Senior year. Are the social and political laws taught in economics, which confront us every day of our lives, of so little importance that they are only to be imparted to the few, after all the other courses have been served? Is the story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf, and other like ancient fables, of such transcendent importance that they must be shoveled into the stomach of every fledgling the minute he enters the University? These are the questions which, in our deep and dense ignorance, we would like some one to rise and answer.
Patie p cake, patty cake, Baker's man,
Pat him and roll him as much as you can ;
Do all that you will, you only have shown it's
Impossible e' or to make students of doughnuts.
**
The High School bill has passed the legislature. If our lawmakers had voted the University a hundred thousand dollars they would not have done so much for us as they have in this one act.
It seems to me the Review is woefully hard up for something to whine about, when it complains of the bad habit students have of calling each other by their front names. As a matter of fact, there are not half a dozen codgers in the University who are called by their given names; and nine times out of ten, a student's first name is not even known. I guess the Revie w man got his pantaloums on backward, that time.
**
I always believe in giving the devil his just dues, and am ever ready to commend any good work he is carrying on at his Baldwin Bakery. In conformity to this rule, I must say that the doughnuts have a far better lecture course than have we of K. S. U. While we have engaged lawyers and preachers almost unheard of outside of their own road-districts, the Bakerites have secured such eminent men as Joseph Cook, Bob Burdette, Rev. Neuman and Bain. It is doubtful if the Bakerites are old enough to comprehend what was being said to them, but even the visit of such prominent men is a big advertisement for an institution.
Speaking of lectures, the best ones]
we have had delivered in the University in years past were from our own professors. Another splendid feature of the olden days was the half-hour Friday morning chats on popular subjects, by various members of the faculty. Who that heard them will ever forget Prof. Snow's entertaining talks on hygene, Prof. Canfield's witty but impressive explanation of business forms, or long-legged, alphabetical Prof. Smith's disquisitions on astronomy, as he demonstrated the laws of heavenly bodies by his bony fingers and out-flapping arms. Those talks were free from the high flown, incomprehensible, terms of the text books, and did more to impress the students with the subjects they treated than did all the stultified recitations of the class room. I wish a lot of students would get together and tantalize the professors into repeating those Friday morning chats.
**
After all the cyclopedias, manuals and other compendiums of knowledge are taken into consideration, there is no book that approaches Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. The latest feature of the book is a one hundred paged supplement gazateer, and one of the most condensed and useful things of its kind I have ever seen. It even includes evey town in the Union of a thousand population. Such a book on a student's table is itself a library.
The next appropriation asked for by the regents should be for an increase of salary for our professors. This should come before the observatory, the library or any addition to the natural history building. Nothing speaks the low educational plane on which we stand, better than the steadiness with which paltry salaries have been doled out to our professors year after year. It is no argument to say that they will remain with us at the present rate of pay. Even if they would, which is by no means certain, it is a poor commentary on the state. If the wages of teaching in the University are to be held down, one of two things must inevitably follow; either the professors will cease to strive for better work, which brings no corresponding compensation, or else they will work solely for higher reputations which will take them to other colleges. Brains, not stone walls, make a University. And if the regents are wise they will in the future pay more for teacher's work and less for the stone mason's. Smith.

Allen, Wichita; Arthur E. Barnes, Topeka; R. J. Brown, Leavenworth; Geo. Leis, Lawrence, and W. C. McPike of Atchison. The members will hold a meeting and complete an organization about the middle of March.
Correction.
In last week's issue of the COURIER appeared an article sharply criticising Mr. Fricker, the manager of the omnibus line in this city. Since then we have learned that the criticism was due one of the drivers on the omnibus line, who was pointed out to us as Mr. Fricker. We take pleasure in making this correction, that the injustice done Mr. Fricker may as far as possible be rectified. The fact still remains, however, that ungentlemanly drivers are a poor investment.

A large audience, that is, a large lecture audience, greeted Prof. C. E. Rossey last Tuesday evening. Promptly at eight o'clock Dr. Lipliacott introduced the speaker in a few appropriate remarks. The lecturer began by saying that there is more in botany than is generally supposed; that it is not merely a study of beautiful plants and flowers, but that it is a science "as wide as all vegetation, and as deep as the most difficult problems of the mind." The place it occupies in the American colleges has done more to degaade it than anything else. In twenty weeks only a smattering of the subject can be mastered, and which, if not followed up, will be of little benefit. It is on account of this that the science of botany is not regarded as a proper field for aspiring and strong minded young men, but is left for women and effeminate men. The speaker claimed that there was as great a chance for young men to distinguish themselves in botany as in any other field.
He then went on to enumerate some of the problems which have not yet been solved. There are many problems yet unsolved, but he would mention but six.
The first problem is the arrangement of flowering plants. These have been more studied about than all the others put together. They are divided into two classes, viz: those with a seed pod and those without; and the first class is again divided into two classes, those with one seed leaf and those with two. There are 80,000 of this last class, and 150 orders. They are generally classified with regard to their petals, their presence or absence, number, kind, etc. This classification, however, is extremely faulty, and a new one is much needed. Who will be the one to do it?
Problem 2, is to discover the relation between the pines and the other flowering plants. Botany long ago divided plants into two kinds, flowering and flowerless, but the division is a very superficial one, and ought never to have been made. An easy passage has been discovered between the two divisions, but the trouble comes between the pines and the other flowering plants. As yet no trace of a connection has been found, and this is the second problem to be solved.
STUDENTS VIEWS.
Problem 3, is the sexuality of flowerless plants. Linnaeus discovered that the flowering plants were divided into sexes, but as yet no evidence has been brought forward to prove that sexes exist among the toad-stools, reits, etc., as well as among the higher order of plants. If we went by analogy we would say that the sexes did exist, but if we went by the closest scrutiny, we would be compelled to give it up.
Problem 4, is parasitism, that is the dependence of one living plant upon another living plant for life. We are apt to believe that plants live only on earth, water, air, etc., when in reality in five of the seven branches of plants parasites are found. A good example of the parasite is the "dodder." The question is what did it spring from and how.
it spring from and deepen Problem 5, is how to account for the degradation or degeneration of plants. Many people suppose that plants are developing all the time, but this is an erroneous idea. Plants flourish and decay, advance and retrograde, the same way that the nations of the earth do. This question is an important one, and not a step toward its solution has yet been made,
Problem 6, is the arrangement or classification of the lower orders of plants. But little has been done in this field, and fame and honor await the man who will take it up.
Very little time as yet has been given to the uses of plants, and this is a field which offers great inducements to young men.
I picked up a fraternity journal the other day, and was surprised at the amount of lying I found therein. The editorials and literary portion of the magazine were all well enough, but the correspondents, why, every one of them seemed to be a second Eli Perkins. I was particularly struck with the letter the correspondent from K. S. U. had written. He started out with the brilliant remark that they preferred "quality to quantity," and would rather keep their chapter small than take in an inferior man. How very considerate, especially when it is known they have tried for at least six barbs in the past two months without success. He next tells how many men they have on the oratorical contest, and how they are sure to take both the first and the second places. Alas, for his foresight, his men were found as usual bringing up the rear.
When we look at these problems we feel that botany should not be studied as a superficial pastime, and that it is not devoid of puzzling questions.
He then goes on to tell how popular the men are socially, how many parties they have been to, etc. From his description you would think they were all Apollos, but in reality, they are the biggest grays in school, and have not a whit of the social quality in their nature. They are as much out of place in a drawing room as a bull in a china shop.
He then tells how one of the lady fraternities had a party not long since and every one of their men held an invitation; in fact, the party would not have been a success without them.
In the language of the poet, I can only exclaim: "O, what a lie!" In fact three out of their twelve men attended the aforesaid party, and their room would have been better than their company. They knew no more about behaving than a Zulu chief. I was particularly amused at one of their leaders taking a drink from a finger bowl, whereupon his two dear brothers followed his worthy example.
If this is a fair sample of fraternity journalism I would like to subscribe for a dozen papers to see which can tell the biggest lie.

Girls' Views.
Secret societies, it seems to me, are the very blight of our school life, and do more to destroy all feelings of fellowship among the students as a whole than any thing else can, besides the time and attention they necessarily take up. It has practically become the fashion to belong to a secret society, and socially a student is nobody unless he is a member of one. Moreover, they do not want and will not have as members any one whom they think will not take well socially, or who has not a little money to spend, no matter how much real worth they may have in them. If a young man has any real manliness in him he is able to stand alone, or at least without the aid of secret societies; and if he has not enough to make his way without their help, I think he might as well have stayed at home in the first place.
But the most of all to be condemned are girls' secret societies, as they never could have arisen in the first place if it had not been for boys' secret societies. Some girl must needs go to work and get up a society in imitation of the boys, and its evil effect among them socially is far more marked than among the boys, as they have a greater tendency to clique together.
And, after all, what need has the student of any thing secret, unless it is something to bad too make public, and if that is the case, our boys and girls are much worse off than I think them to be. RUTH.

The editors of the January number of the Shield, the organ of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, are to be congratulated because of their successful efforts in improving the appearance and general tone of the Shield. The editorial department is well filled with bright and pertinent discussions of fraternity objects. One subject especially is worthy of attention, that of literary exercises in fraternity meetings. The writer of the article does not advocate converting the various chapters into literary societies, but simply the education of the members to be intelligent fraternity men, so that every member will know, at least, the A B C of his fraternity and thereby make themselves well informed upon fraternity topics whenever competition with a chapter of a rival fraternity is necessary. The exercises he advocates, should consist of discussions of the various chapters, constitution, history and distinguished members of the fraternity; discussions upon the system of government of other fraternities in connection with their own. Also, to introduce the reading of articles in the magazines of the leading rivals. Take it all in all the fraternity is to be congratulated upon the fine editorial and mechanical appearance of the Shield, the subject matter of which tends to strengthen them in the noble purpose of humanity.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Decennial Ode to the Class of .76'
By E. B. TUCKER, (Classis Poeta.)
Ten circling years from out the hand of time
Have now well nigh in swift succession rolled,
Since on that morn of June, in seventy-six,
We stood on life's fair threshold to go
forth;
Dare we reveal the hopes that thronged our breasts
Bidding to all the past a fond farewell,
And, anxious, tried to lift the future's vail.
that day, when Alma Mater sent us forth
Alumni, fledglings, each his path to hew
With trusty blade tempered at wisdom's
flame?
Ten years of changing light and shade, of joy.
Ot sorrow, hopes and plans fulfilled or failed ;
Ten years of earnest struggle up life's hill.
With tooth and nail to scale its rugged height.
'Tis pleasant to look back—and yet 'ts
sad,
O, that the course of time were backward turned,
So dear from memories of the sacred past,
As students in old times. It cannot be
A sort of bitter sweet—to those old boys When, book in hand, we climbed through sun and storm
As students in old times. It cannot be.
Alas, those halucen dawns will never return.
And for one day we stood within those halls,
the nit of knowledge, filled with youthful zeal.
Such days, when, teeming with youth's turbulence,
We left our marks from roof to basement floor.*
A band unbroken we have been preserved, Though some who taught us have death's river passed,
Classmates, would we might all strike hands again,
Within those walls that sheltered us of vore.
On Alma Mater's next commencement day,
And thus, with joy, our tenth year celebrate.
*During commencement exercises of '73 a skeleton was lowered through the unfinished ceiling of the chapel, suspended from the roof. Immediate search was made for the perpetrators, but they were supposed to have escaped from the roof by a ventilating shaft to the basement. The next day a green ribbon was found on the basement floor near the foot of one of the shafts. Green was the class color of '76 that year.

The Washington ball given by the Usher Guards last Monday evening was by far the finest ever given in Lawrence. The grand March began at half past eight, and from that time until early morning the dance went on almost unceasingly. The floor managers, Messrs. Abe Levy, Lute Lewis and Rob Rankin, deserve special mention for the able manner in which they made every one feel at home. The voting for daughter of the regiment was close and exciting, and resulted in the election of Miss Hannah Howe, the popular daughter of Capt. Howe. We were pleased to notice the large number of students present. Several couple from Toneka were also present.
Oread.
Oread had quite an interesting meeting last Friday. The literary program was one of the best of the year. Miss Josie Cooke recited "I Know What You're Going to Say," in a most pleasing manner. W. H. Brown gave a reading, H. E. Riggs an extemporaneous talk. L. A. Stebbins read an essay on the "Eastern Question," and Harry Smith delivered an oration on "Silver." The debate on classical as opposed to the business education, was supported on the affirmative by Markley and Stebbins and on the negative by Morgan and Smith. The decision was in favor of the negative. The following officers were elected for a term of six weeks: President, Gertrude Hunnicut; vice president, May Webster; secretary, R. J. Kimball; critic, Josie Cook. Oread is in a good condition now, and a little work will make it a first class society again.

Miss Agnes Wright was at her best. She received some very handsome flowers.
Lillie Freeman recited the "Battle of Monmouth" in a most pleasing manner, but her voice was hardly suitable to the piece.
Mabel Gore and Prof. MacDonald then gave another of their pleasing duets.
S. W. Shattuck then read an essay on "Washington and Lafayette." Mr. Shattack had a fair production, but a rather monotonous delivery.
Sadie Emery delivered a beautiful oration on the "Surrender of Cornwallis." Miss Emery is one of the best writers in the University, and never disappoints an audience.
Mr. J. E. Curry closed the exercises with an oration on "Two Kinds of Heroes." Mr. Curry sustained his old reputation,

We hope our foreign subscribers will overlook the fact that they did not receive their paper as early as usual last week. The papers were placed in the post-office at the usual time, but lay there three days before we were aware that they had not been sent out. The post-office men held them because our deposit had run out. We do not believe there is another office in the country that would be guilty of such a mean and contemptible trick. It is the custom of all offices to send out the papers or notify the business managers that their postage is due; but this office, managed by Bourbons who have about as much accommodation as a wood-chuck, did neither. We will do the best we can by our subscribers, but with' such a post-office, irregularities may be expected.
--amount of "eramming" at the end of the term, will be able to pass a better examination than one who, much better posted on all the essentials of a subject, has not made this special preparation for examination. Here we see possibilities for injustice, although the chances of error are lessened by counting term standing of equal value with examinations.
With the advent of warm weather, the student takes his equinoctial bath—a little early this year, on account of the precession of the equinoxes—and looks about him for other means of recuperating his health, enfeebled by somewhat extended hibernations. We wish to give some good advice, which we hope will be cheerfully received and diligently followed:
First, attend the meeting for the purpose of organizing a foot ball team.
Second, attend a similar meeting and assist in perfecting a base ball organization.
Third, attend all other meetings relating to athletic sports—these are the means of grace.
Fourth, if you are not chosen as one of the members of the first nine—and twenty chances to one you will not be chosen—postpone your exercise until the summer vacation. In the meantime the regular athletes will exercise by proxy for you.
Fifth, never appear on the campus unless in full dress. Do not think of engaging in any sports in which you are not an expert; you may show your awkwardness. Keep cool; wear your optical accessories, and rest assured that the athletic association will bring you through with sound health and strong muscles.
We are informed that recent movements have been made for the abolishment of the present marking system, and marking students as passed or not passed, as the case may be. This plan, although possessing some desirable features, should, nevertheless, be adopted only after the most careful consideration.
To be sure, the present system of grading is open to criticism. It is sometimes the case that one student having a very inferior knowledge of a subject in its entirety, by a small
Other objections of more or less weight may be brought against this system of marking. It is sometimes urged that such distinctions as grades in marking and grades in diplomas are unnecessary incentives in an educational institution of the standing of the University; that by offering these incentives, an improper motive for studying is suggested to the student.
In answer to the last objection, it may be said that the love of study and the desire for knowledge which every student has on entering the University, ought not to be diminished by the discovery that his work is attended by suitable honors. A good meal is not injured by a judicious amount of seasoning. Neither do we think that the incentives of honor are to be wholly overlooked in an institution of this character. It may be well enough in a University, but we must not forget that Kansas as yet has a University in name only. Her true University is still like faith—"The substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen." Nor can we hope by adopting the proposed plan to secure greater justice than is secured by the present system? The student who, by patient study and careful thought, is able to secure a grade of ninety-five per cent., is certainly worthy of more honor than the student who, clinging to the caudal extremity of the subject, is dragged through with a grade of seventy.
By the present system of marking —grading 1, 2 or 3, as the standing may be, between 100 and 90, 90 and 80 or 80 and 70—close and questionable distinctions are dispensed with. In grading on both examination and daily recitation, a check is placed on superficial "cramming," either for recitation or final examination. The few errors which may possibly occur will in all probability be overbalanced by the other forty or more examinations of the collegiate course, so that at the end of four years the average grade of each student will tell, with more truth than many are willing to admit, the relative character of his work in school.
Much more could be said on this subject from either standpoint, but we incline to the opinion that the final verdict would be in favor of our present system. It presents no false ideal. Industry has its reward in every place; it offers a worthy incentive to intellectual activity, placing merit second only to moral sublimity. We have a good thing. Let us keep it.
The question of labor and capital, despite the great amount of discussion on that subject, seems no nearer solution than it did two years ago. However, there is a growing conviction among the more thoughtful of the people, that it can never be solved by force, and if solved at all it must be along the line of a restored harmony and confidence between the two contending factions. But how shall it be restored? This is a question which, as we have been informed time and time again, is of great importance and great complexities.
This great complexity, it seems to us, is caused by attempting to find some universal remedy; by assuming the very false hypothesis that the relation between labor and capital is the same in all places. No greater error could be made than this. The relation between the employer and the employee in the eastern manu-
factories is as far removed from the relation between similar parties in the west as night is from day. And no greater injustice can be done the western laborer than to class him in the same rank with the suffering laborer of the east. It does not take much to make a man believe he is miserable, and it takes less to make the man who has involved himself in unnecessary debt believe that some one else and not himself is responsible for it. But this has been the tendency in the discussion of this question in the west. Shiftlessness and prodigality are too often extenuated, and lack of success is attributed to oppression. And just so long as western laborers are encouraged in this belief; just so long as they are incited to "strikes," "boycotting" and riot, they will be oppressed, not so much by capitalists, as by their own misguided efforts.
The observations of the writer of this article—who is neither ashamed to confess nor proud to profess that he has been until recently a member of the working class—have led to the conclusions that the cry made by labor against capital in the west is wholly uncalled for. There are few places in the west in which the industrious laborer can not earn a comfortable living.
The attention of the students of the University has been called in a somewhat public manner to the condition of the suffering employees in the manufactories of Kansas City and adjoining towns. It has been our fortune to know that the condition of the laborers of Kansas City is not so deplorable as one might infer from the prominence given this subject in an article contributed to the COURIER within the recent past. If the class in economics, after visiting the shops, as has been suggested, will then compare the amounts of a given number of employees at the grocery with the accounts of the same employees at the saloon and the billiard hall, they will gain some information which will throw much light on this question. If they will investigate further they will find that in nearly every instance where the laborer is industrious and economical, that he is living in comparative comfort. We are personally acquainted with laborers who are living as comfortably and who are saving as much money as graduates from this University who hold positions of honor and trust in this city. Our attention has been called again to theamentable condition of the miners in this state. The labor statistics seem to show a state of affairs sad enough but miners themselves have informed as that they know of no better winter employment in this state. It is true that many miners work only two or three days in the week and loaf about the bar room the rest of the time Their condition and that of their families is wretched enough, but the honest, industrious laborer earning from $1.25 to $2.50 per day, has little o which he can complain.
There is no reason why the relation between labor and capital in the west should not be healthful and harmonious. The condition of the laborer here is better than it has ever been in any age or in any country. It is time for theorists and demagogues to teach better things. Teach the laborer how to work, not how to keep other men from working; teach him the extent of the possibilities, the opportunities that lie open before him—he will find out enough of his miseries without teaching; teach him the doctrines of the scriptures. If man can not live on bread alone, much less can he live on "strikes" and "boycotting" and politics alone. The opportunities for the laborer in the west are many. Success is offered to him as free as grace, yet like grace,
it can be acquired only through faith and work. He needs to have faith in himself and faith in his employer; he needs to work, and that right honestly. The first will give him a contentment fully warranted by his condition; the second will give him such conditions as to more fully warrant his contentment.
SAINTS AND SINNERS.
I confess my enthusiasm over the high school bill, which was to provide so many hoppers for the University mill stone, has about all flown with the reading of the bill. The bill does not, as I had inferred from talks with the Chancellor and others, provide a high school for every county. The gist of the matter is that any county having over a certain population, may, if it so elects, establish one high school; providing always that a lot of red-tape has been gone over. Now I'll wager something pretty that there will not be over two or three counties in the state that will adopt the high school. The average Kansan is at present too intent on voting R. R. bonds and increasing the value of his real estate, to pay out a few cents extra for the better education of his sons and daughters.
***
The weather opening up bright and warm, athletics will again come forward. There is just one way for our University to regain prestige in the sports, and that is by centralizing its work. Let us have one good ball club, one first-class foot ball team, and there stop. Pick out the best men in college and let practice be systematic. Above all, don't bore the merchants of Lawrence for any donations. Profit by the experience of three years ago, when a fine base ball ground was laid out on paper, a boat club for ladies, one for gentlemen, two foot ball teams and half a dozen base ball clubs were organized, while the only thing scored during the season was a heavy debt and a big scandal.
O yes! What has become of that society organized in Lawrence last fall for the suppression of wicked art, as chiefly represented by illustrations of opera burlesque? I supposed by this time that pictures of women in bare arms would not be tolerated, that the statuette of Power's Greek Slave in Field's store would have disappeared, and that the Adonises, the Mercuries, the quoitthrowers and other nude models of the Latin and Greek rooms would all be clothed in cutty sarks. Somehow the super-morality crowd must have withdrawn from business quite early in the season.
I think Prof. Canfield can get more work out of a pupil than any three teachers in Kansas. In the first place, he never assigns any definite lesson. He expects a student to take the text book for a starting point, and then browse around over all the pasture he can find in the country. When recitation hour comes, every mother's son must be at his post prompt to the second. He must be all eyes and ears to what is said about the subject in hand. If a girl's switch parts from its shoe-string mooring, or a boy's pants get a divorce from his suspenders, the switch and pants must go, while the sufferers concentrate their attention on the professor's last joke. In truth, there isn't a class room in old Mother Oread's cabin where the pupils learn more, laugh more and snore less than in the room across from the library.

After many, many years of anxious trials and tribulations, the Emporia Normal has induced the legislature to give it the ten sections of salt lands. I don't know how much it takes to
preserve the venerable female ruins till they have completed their Normal course at Emporia, but I should think these six thousand four hundred acres of salt would almost do it.
The Maggie Mitchell entertainment drew exceedingly well from the University ranks, and proved the most popular attraction since Minnie Palmer dazzled us. As Maggie Mitchell's dress came no higher than her knees, I presume the Saints who attended the Devil's Auction, but went into hysterics at my mention of the play, will sit quiet while I speak of "Little Barefoot." Miss Mitchell has a queer voice, harsh at first, but bewitching as you get used to it. Her acting is superb. In form and feature she rivals the charms of the pampered beauties of the present generation; but for fear of alarming the sanctimonious harpies, I will say no more on this point. Her rendition was a little incongruous. As "Little Barefoot" she never so much as uncovered an ankle or great toe, while as a poor servant girl, she wore big solitaires on fingers and ears. Altogether, however, the performance was the best we have had for many a day, and reflects credit on the taste of the Saints and Sinners who attended it.
Being fortunately prevented by other duties from inhaling the Washington gas at the University last Monday, I refrain from individual comment. From what one and all tell me, the pieces perpetrated were appalling. One rendition alone was extra good, one was fair, the balance sulphurous. Indeed, some of our most patient students threaten to resign and leave the University if one of the speakers of this occasion is again inflicted on their hearing. It beats the world how the ghosts of the Revolutionary warriors could have remained quiet while such a bald, stupid, inane, ridiculous mass of words was delivered in a manner so utterly devoid of relevancy, passion, consistency or interest.

I wonder where Jenks boards. Last fall he came here lean, lank and hungry looking. Now his face is round as a pumpkin, and his coat buttons can no longer keep their engagements with the holes.
The last concert of the musical department is so warmly lauded by those who heard it, that I am in hopes Prof. MacDonald may be induced to repeat it. The might it was given was so disagreeable that but comparatively few people climbed the hill. Too much credit cannot be given Profs. MacDonald and Aldrich for the thorough musical work they are doing this winter.
I know very little about the preparation of doughnuts, and would rather leave the manufacture of the soft and insipid stuff entirely to the Baldwin Bakery. Cautiously and low, however. I would whisper in President Sweet's ear that whiskey is by no means an agreeable ingredient, even when cloves are added as a subsequent spice. It would be well enough to let the experiment of using these flavors end with the specimens from the Bakery who hugged the lamp posts in Lawrence last Monday. Lest President Sweet may not catch the latent meaning of these lines, I will add that it don't look well for his students to get on a drunk when away from home. SMITH.

One of the greatest benefits of a college education is the acquisition of methodical habits of thought and action. Pursuing a prescribed course of study, a given number of hours each day, ought to beget in the student a method of handling every subject to which he applies his energies This is why we have a college curriculum, a course of work in language, science and history, laid out with careful foresight through at least the Sophomore year. Otherwise, we would find many students with such combinations of studies as sub-Freshmen French and Hamilton's metaphysics, or beginning geometry and astronomy. The absurdity of such arrangement of studies is apparent to everyone, yet this is just what many students are doing in every western college. It is of the highest importance that studies should be pursued in their logical order and relation to each other. A proper curriculum possesses such arrangement, and it is only by following it out that a student can hope to obtain a thorough college education. It is folly for a student to successfully handle the subject of astronomy before he has had analyties. Think of a student comprehending the metaphysical deductions of Hamilton or Mill before he has mastered the details of elementary college work, or in fact, learned how to study in the true sense of the word! Hence the necessity of students becoming regular in their work as soon as possible after entering college. The regular student can do more thorough work and do it with far more ease than the student who has studies belonging to two or three different year's work. Again the regular student finds himself much better prepared to take up the higher work of the Junior and Senior years, and consequently, other things being equal, he leaves college a better man. He has learned, or at least should have learned in his four years regular work, how to study and think in a comprehensive, critical and methodical manner, and that is more than we can say of the great majority of those who graduate from our college every year.

"Throughout the whole history of the world the footprints of God's hand may be traced."
We clip the following from an eloquent Freshman's oration :
The first number of the Pacific Pharos is on our table. It is formed from a consolidation of the Hatchet and Epoch. As we are firm believers in consolidation, we wish it success.
The Transcript is a good college paper, but is much too conservative. We looked over it carefully, expecting to see something about the row between the faculty and the Senior class, but never a word could we find. It apparently is afraid of the faculty.
Henry Ward Beecher's average grade at Amherst was but 57 on a scale of 100. "Lives of great men all remind us," etc.
Dartmouth has received a four thousand dollar scholarship, on condition that no student who uses tobacco shall receive any benefit from it.
The right of petition by the students of Wisconsin University has been abolished by the college authorities, and petitioning made an offense, punishable by suspension.
Yale has 31 colored students in the Freshman class.
The University COURIER has recently made a transfer in its management. Its editorial department is maintained in a spirited manner, though somewhat aggressive.—Carthagenian.
The University Voice, an inter-collegiate paper published at Wooster, Ohio, is a model paper of its kind. We know of no other way in which a student can procure as good a knowledge of college affairs as through the Voice.
The following college laws, which made the strong moral and intellectual men some ninety years since, may be interesting for comparison: "All the students are strictly forbidden to play at cards or any unlawful games; to use profane or obseene language; to strike or assault any person; to associate with persons of low character; to attend at places of low and idle sports; to visit taverns without liberty; to appear in indecent dress; to lie, steal, get drunk or be guilty of other immoralities. If any student shall transgress in any of these respects, he shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty cents nor more than three dollars."
"How doth the college editor Work up the old ideas, That all the previous editors Have worked for twenty years."
Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Cornell have an inter-collegiate chess association.
Harvard is considering a proposition to shorten the length of the course to three years.
The informal ballot by the Senior class at Dartmouth for their commencement orator resulted as follows: James G. Blance, 18; B. F. Butler, 3; J. R. Lowell, 3.
The University of Vermont had the oldest student of any college on record. He was a member of the class of '85, and was 83 years old.
The Wesleyan Bee is one of the poorest papers on our exchange list. Its editorials are mostly on the "weather," and its literary articles on almost as interesting subjects.

Tenth Anniversary of Kansas Alpha Phi Kappa Psi.
Last Friday evening Kansas Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi celebrated the tenth anniversary of its founding in the University of Kansas. Prof. F. O. Marvin and G. W. Hapgood, 78, were the organizers, both having been former members of Pennsylvania Beta chapter, situated at Alleghany College. There were nine original members, comprising several who have won responsible and important positions in the great world of affairs since they left college.
The chapter in school has won a fair share of success, having led three classes in the last nine years, two of these class leaders now occupying positions in the faculty of the University. No class in that time has been led by a member of any other fraternity. Since the organization of the contest between the two societies, six orators out of twelve have belonged to this fraternity, being the largest number held by any other; and in the oratorical contest second place has been held once, first place once, and both first and second place once by members of this chapter.
The first college paper proper ever published in the institution was under the editorial and business management of two of their chapter members, and numerous other editorial positions have been held. At the present time the chapter consists of twenty active members.
The company assembled about nine o'clock in the Phi Psi halls in the opera house building, the first part of the evening being taken up with the following program: Music, by the Phi Kappa Psi orchestra; declamation, Miss Laura Lyons; music, violin duet, by E. L. Swope and Obe Taylor, accompaniment, Prof. F. O. Marvin; declamation, Miss Josie Cook; vocal solo, W. S. Jenks; history of the chapter, F. D. Hutchings. The guests were then invited to adjourn to Mull's where the "festive board" had been spread. Two hours were consumed in partaking of the viands and listening to the following toasts: "The Phi Psi Prep," response by W. M. Thacher; "The Phi Kappa Psi of the Second Generation," response by C. L. Davidson, of Wichita; "Old Girls, Old Boys and Old Times," response by S. T. Gilmore. Mr. E. C. Little read a letter of regret from W. J. Morse, of Oskalosa, and a poem was read by W. S. Jenks.
The following letter, accompanied by an exquisite floral design, was read, being a complete surprise to all present:
KANSAS ALPHA PHI KAPPA PSI:
Please accept my very best wishes for many happy returns of this day; and with them I send a small floral tribute which may add its fragrance to the pleasure of the occasion.
Your true friend,
FANNIE E. PRATT.
HUMBOLDT, KAS., FEB. 19, 1886.
After a goodly quantity of essentials had been sacrificed to appetite, the party returned to the fraternity hall, where music, dancing and other amusements filled the fleeting hours till early morning put to flight the merry company. The following ladies and gentlemen were present: Prof. F. O. Marvin; Prof. M. W. Sterling and Miss Hattie Fellows; C. S. Gleed, of Topeka; E. C. Little, Miss Nellie G. Thacher; C. L. Davidson and wife, of Wichita; F. C. Thompson, of Topeka, and Miss Kate Field, of Leavenworth; S. C. Jackson and wife, of Wichita; F. L. Webster, Miss Angie Logee; John Prescott, Miss Lydia Griffith and Miss Bertha Thompson, of Topeka; W. M. Thacher, Miss May Webster; F. D. Hutchings, Miss Mabel Wemple; Henri Nickel, Miss Lou Palmer;

NOTES.
Mendelssohn's Music
And all other good music at Fluke's great music house; also a great stock of musical merchandise.
Fine kid gloves at Abe Levy's.
Excellent attractions still continue at the opera house. On the 5th o March we are again to be favored with a concert by the Mendelsshon Quintette Club, of Boston. The mere announcement is sufficient to insure a crowded house. The entertainment will be pleasing not only to students of music, but to any one who has the slightest musical taste. Only the composition of the best composers is to be found on the program. The lighter portion of the concert will perhaps be the vocal rendition by Miss Edith Edwards. The concert is one that no student can afford to miss, considering the low price of seats. Parquett, 75 cents; balcony less. No doubt the students will turn out in force.
Have you seen that novelty of Abe Levy's? If not, call and see it.
The students' attention is called to Jabob House's ad, in this issue.

Busy as Bees at Innes'.
Spring business has begun in earnest. Mr. Beatty, who has charge of the silk and dress goods departments, says that he is doing a large trade in black silks, colored silks and new spring dress goods. Ladies are very anxious to by their black silks at the old price. Fashion has once more issued its flat in favor of silks for ladies' dresses. Shrewd and economic buyers better buy now and save the advance. Innes' is the place to buy a reliable silk.
Boots and shoes low for cash— Mason's.
