By recent enactment of the Faculty all students taking the prescribed courses in the University will be required to take vocal music for two years. This regulation takes effect next year. Credit will be given for one-fifth of a study. Pharmics will probably be exempted until a room with double, cork-filled walls can be fitted up to accommodate them.
Lincoln W. Cummings, a former student and well known to the students of '83'84. died on February 21st, in Texas, while traveling for his health. He was brought to his home at Nortonville, Kansas, for interment. Mr. Cummings was noted for his bright intellect and affable manners, and he made many friends while in the University, who will deeply feel his death. He was a brother of Mrs. Alice (Cummings) Curry.
Rev. H, L. Yarger, of the English Lutheran church, occupied the rostrum in chapel this week.
A mistake was made in the insertion of the Adelphic program last week. The program as then appearing will be presented to-night.

The class of '91 held a meeting Tuesday to hear a report of committee on arrangements for class day. Something new and something brilliant will no doubt result.
The class in advanced composition have taken a new departure in the shape of a bi-weekly paper. The new sheet is called "The University Mushroom." The first edition appeared Wednesday. It was a howling sucoess. Pay your subscription.
"Stranger, Where Am I?"
A more pointed example of the superiority and indifference to the common place in this world below, of a thorough going University professor, than the following account of Prof. Miller's trip to Vinland(?) last Friday evening would be difficult to find.
The professor was booked for a lecture at Vinland, but directly he boarded the train for that place, he became oblivious to his surrounding, as is the custom of great minds.
Probably he was cogitating over the usefulness of the rule of three, or Sturm's Theorem. At least, when the brakeman opened the door and yelled, he was startled; so badly startled that he did not catch the name of the town at which the train was already stopping.
However, our professor felt sure the brakeman had addressed him personally as no one else was in the car, and equally sure that he was expected to got off, so off he got.
Now when a professor of the Kansas State University favors a neighboring village with a whole night of his valuable time, he has a natural right to expect the people to meet him en masse with a brass band at the head of the gang.
Prof. Miller natnrally felt that he
Conceive then, Prof. Miller's unspeakable astonishment when the only human being at the station was a small black boy who offered kindly to "pack" the professor's valfice, but as the sole occupants of this piece of baggage was a sleeping robe and a lecture, the boy's kindness was wasted.
could stand it as well as the assembling audience. So, in his independence of mind, he sought the warm side of the station and awaited developments.
There are warmer places however than the warm side of a station house on the 27th of February at 7:30 in the evening; so the professor concluded to move in the matter at the end of the first five minutes.
He started up the road towards town and meeting one who was presumably a citizen, he asked if there was to be a lecture in town tonight. The rural "reckoned not." He was then asked as to his place of residence and answered without hesitation, "Here."
The professor felt hurt that the management had not better advertised the entertainment and passed on to find the leading hotel.
The first store building bore the escutcheon, "Eudora Cash Grocery," "Best prices paid for Butter and Eggs." Long and deeply did our worthy professor powder over this motto. But not in vain. He soon discovered that something was wrong and determined to end the suspense at the hotel.
Twas at this point that college training showed itself. Did Prof. Miller ask the question at the top of this article? Yes, but of himself alone, and when he had answered it to his own satisfaction he got the key to his room and slept while Vinland swore.
When arrived there he reconnoitered, sized up the man behind the bar, and finally opened the register. At the top of the page was the following legend: Eudora Hotel, terms $1.25 per day.
That Aerolite.
Chancellor Snow has been in quest of another meteor. Did he get it? Don't ask him, for he is rather reticent on the subject. It seems that some body is to blame for his ill luck. It must be either the Washburn man or the newspaper reporter. All the facts that can be gathered in reference to the matter, go to prove the Chancellor's statement that the meteor hasn't lit yet.
Prof. Craigs of Washburn must surely have made a mistake in his astrological calculations, for scientific research has clearly proven that no meteor fell on the house of B. Williams of Highland as he predicted.
Confident in the unerring skill of Washburn's astrologer, a correspondent of the Topeka Capital announced the advent of the aerial visitant some hours before it didn't appear. Prof. Snow, on reading the article in Wednesday's Capital,

DR. ELIOT.
President of Harvard Addresses a Large Audience in University Chapel.
The rare treat to which the students of the University have long looked forward drew a large audience to the Chapel Tuesday evening. Both the citizens of Lawrence and students at the University showed their appreciation of the opportunity to hear Dr. Eliot by a generous attendance.
At 8:30 Chancellor Snow appropriately introduced the speaker. Dr. Eliot is a man above average stature, finely built, and well preserved for a man who has stood at the head of Harvard for twenty-two years. He spoke for nearly an hour, with little or no attempt at oratorical effect, and with a voice at once pleasing and powerful. Although, apparently speaking extempore, his discourse was so well arranged and treated with such confidence that attention and conviction followed naturally.
His subject was "The Educational System," and, as Dr. Eliot has stood at the head of educational matters for a generation, what he said was well worth remembering. Two phases of education were treated particularly: Choice of course of study or the elective system and individual instruction.
The elective plan was first adopted by Harvard, and has since attained such wide spread success that no proof of its advantage is needed. Especially during the last ten years has this plan received such general adoption, that to-day not only all Universities and Colleges, of any prominence, have elective courses but the plan is finding its way into the High Schools, Academies and even the Grammar schools of this country. The value of the elective plan was sooner recognized in Europe than in America, but to-day those schools which have adopted it are those which are generously patronized.
Dr. Eliot is a strong advocate of the elective system, not only in Universities, Colleges, Academies and High Schools, but in the most primary departments of instruction. He says this is the end of present tendencies in education.
Usiformity in education is the least desirable of any kind of education. Human brains are as various as there are numbers of beings. Each child is unique.. To develop these different qualities in human minds requires a great variety in methods of training
Speaking of "Individualism in Instruction," Dr. Eliot again claimed for Harvard the distinction of first attempts. This method began
No.24.
in the study of science in the laboratory. To-day all branches of learning are best taught where individual instruction is most completely adopted.
Lectures and recitations are becoming less and less popular methods, and individual investigation and laboratory work are more successfully used.
At first, say seven or eight years ago, this method of instruction was attempted only in Universities and Colleges. While to-day the secondary and primary schools are adopting individual instruction with the best results. It is slow of adoption in public schools because of the increased expense, but we will find that only such schools as adopt this plan together with the choice of studies, will survive. It is therefore of paramount value that public schools accept these advances in educational methods, toward which the drift of progress tends.
After the lecture a reception was given in the University parlors, to which those wishing to meet Dr. Eliot were invited.
Wednesday Dr. Eliot visited the school, of which he expressed the highest approbation.

THERE is no doubt but Baldwin is bound to be the coming city of the West. The Ledger in a masterly article on a probable canning factory cites as one of the advantages of such an institution the following: "Students of Baker might have constant employment during vacation; and thus would be supplied a strong inducement to remain and continue their studies from year to year." It is proposed by some unkind person, to have the Professors of Botany accept the chair of boss workman. We are afraid of this measure however as the familiarity consequent upon such close business relations would be liable to destroy the dignity of the class room. Such expressions as "Say! Doc, lets try your weed," would hardly be just the proper thing.
THE VILLAGE SHOWS.
The village shows were rare treats, were they not? It's easy enough to laugh about them now, of course. But you didn't consider lightly in the days when you sneaked off your mother's best chairs to the little low hall and carried water for the artist or animals for the privilege of standing near the woodbox while the show proceeded, did you? No, indeed. From the advent of the hand bills announcing the coming of the "Monarch of Minstreley," or the arrival of "Signor Sleighthand" or "The Thespian Tourists," etc., until the lamps—candles perhaps—were lighted and the curtains closely drawn, you counted the hours and commenced saving the pennies. Then he, she and it came. You got in somehow or other. Of course you were delighted. For months after you talked about the "Essence of Ole Virginia," the bones and the banjo. The glossy-mustached man shook gold fish out of the handkerchief, run a dagger through his wrist, and made a card dance haunted you night after night. And that actor! You see him now, of course—fierce, big-lunged, cruel. You cried when he struck the poor old slave, didn't you? And then you laughed at the funny man. Tears and smiles followed each other clear up to the edge of sleep that night. You see it all now, don't you. The entertainments of you childhood are fresher than those witnessed a few nights ago if you only let your thoughts drift backwark.
When the curtain drops now you are done with the show. It tickled your fancy for the time and that settles it. Not so with the show in the village hall in the happy days of childhood. It was photographed on your fresh mind to stay. When you want to repeat that entertainment all you have to do is to lift the curtain of memory and the mind soon sets the stage and the brain starts the show. And there you are again chasing care away in the charm of childhood.
Is this not as true of every thing else as well as the show? Have you not many a time closed your eyes to shut out the troublesome present and let your mind wander back to the calm serene and peacefml past? There it is and there it will stay; you see your little follies and your little triumphs, at the time they were mountains to you but now they seem as nothing compared to the trials you will have and victories you will achieve. When the present sinks into the past and today is but a comma in the punctuation of the theme of life, you will seat yourself in the same old manner with your feet on the stove and the fire dying into a charred and blackened mass, and, throwing the searching light of a riper mind or the deeds of the present and find that the record of today is no better than the record of innocent childhood.
Take in the old show occasionally. It will do you good. You won't cry over it now, but perhaps you'll laugh So much the better for yourself, then, and those about you. There are no tears in child hood anyway. At least the memory didn't retain them anyway, thank Heaven. So burrow in that region as often as you can. Go to the village show when the big shows offered now grow tiresome. Climb on the old woodbox behind the hot stove and laugh as you laughed then. First thing you know you'll be kicking your heels, clapping your hands and craning your neck just as you did then, and the beauty of it is it only costs you a thought. Atchison Champion.
Our journalistic course is bound to be a short one, and as this is probably the only opportunity we will ever have to unlighten the world and at the same time fill space, we propose to utilize a good part of a galley in holding up before the eyes of the burdened public a few of its members. As we sit here in a brown study and gray wrapper, with a spotted lining, we see before our minds eye the man who comes up and mashes your hat down over your ears, and yells: "Hello Bill, how are you?" While you are blinded with rage and your two dollar hat band; he draws his face into such a smile, that the corners of his mouth meet on the back of his neck, and you find out that he did not mean it, and grow madder still because you wanted to hit him. The hat is not always his point of attack. He may come up to you in an inoffensive way and punch his fist into your short ribs and say: "Hello Bill, I'll settle your breakfast." When you regain your breath and wits, you politely inform him that it would be better if he would settle your board bill. He laughs and thinks you are a good fellow, you force a smile and tenderly inspect your anatomy to see if anything is broken. He may pound you on the back, smile when he sees your head suddenly fly back and hit between your shoulders, address you in a voice that would put a wire edge on a set of false teeth, and say that he is so glad to see you and tell you that W. L. Douglas is getting bald headed. There are many ways in which this person may help to lift life's burden, and rub the wrinkles from the brow of time. Among them may be mentioned the delectable habit of placing his thumb under your nose, his forefinger on your hat brim, and drawing the two forcibly together. Then there is the man with the great scheme, he corners you, hooks one finger in your coat lapel, punches you in the breast with his other hand, at the same time giving vent to the word "See?" and a breath that would produce hay on asphaltum, in three days. There are lots of such people in the world; you know them we know them, but they do not know themselves. There is the 'masher,' the 'society man,' the 'blood,' the 'sport,' the 'student,' they are all here; they are as thick
as fiddlers in the future, and like the poor, 'they are always with you, and when ye will ye may do them good.' That is what we propose to do in the future when we need copy and news is scare. We are all vulnerable and have our weak spots, so a little fair criticism may help us to see them and cover them up. If our readers don't want to be imposed upon next week by another article of this kind, they had better write us up something on the 'Ethics of Infinity,' or the 'Perpetuity of Right.' They are out of our line, but nevertheless would be very acceptable to the public. We will add to our list of victims above, the man who does not pay his subscription. He is a kind of a monkey wrench in the corn.sheller of humanity, anyhow.

ceit. His grade book may not average up one, but he gains by far a more valuable knowledge of human nature than Greek or Latin can bring him and leaves school liking and beliked universally. We leave it to our readers to judge, which type has received the most good from his college course.
The much talked of legislature, on the 4th of this month, passed the University Appropriation bill which gives the University of Kansas $75,000 for the expenses of the school year. This is as good as the more extravagant body of two years ago did. The farmers of Kansas, in this measure, have shown that while they believe in retrenchment and reform, do not believe in being niggardly in the matter of higher education. Although the amount is not as large as we need, and not one-fourth the amount we could use we are very thankful that we have it, and the tax payers of the state may rest assured that every cent will be placed where it will do the most good. The several men who have aided so much in this matter have the sincere thanks of the students of this institution, for their untiring efforts in their behalf. The legislature hereafter, in this school, will not be stigmatized as a body of hay-seeds, but as wise and far-seeing legislators.
In regard to the league between different Kansas colleges which has been spoken of before in these columns, Baker has done nothing. Representatives from Washburn and K. S. U. have written to persons empowered to act in the interest of Baker for their opinion on this subject. Common courtesy would naturally expect an answer to a personal letter but in this case we cannot expect anything. If correspondence is out of the question we would respectfully ask you Dear Beacon to define your school's position on the athletic question through your columns. If you don't want to play we will take our doll rags and go home.
An enterprising dental student of the University of Pennsylvania has succeeded in making teeth from potatoes. Wonder if you have to dust them with Paris green to keep the potato bugs off.
BAKER's victory has swelled its head not a little. It now challenges any school in the state to compete in any thing. If you want any thing in the athletic line come on, K. S. U, is here as you know to your sorrow.
THERE is some talk of having an Oratorical Contest this spring, as a sort of feeler as to what we may expect next year.

AMUSEMENTS.
Commencing Monday March 9th, one full week with Saturday matinee, the Stuart Theater company.
This company plays this week in Emporia and the Emporia Republi-can has this to say of the cast: "While Miss Stuart is the bright particular star of the organization the rest of the company lose none of their attractiveness as they are all particularly good in their several parts. There are eleven people in the company. Several of them are much above the average professionals in their line. Messrs. C. W. Travis, F. W. Barnard and W. R. Beecher are entitled to special mention, all of them being painstaking and meritorious actors. Mr. Barnard is an actor of the old school as can readily be discovered by his careful make-up, natural manners, correct and clear enunciation upon the stage." Popular prices.
A Suggestion.
The catalogue announces a spring recess of three days, Thursday, Friday and Monday, during April. It has been the custom to give this on Arbor day as this makes a good dividing point in the long session of school from Christmas until the close of school. But we see no special reason why this recess should especially be given on Arbor day. If there were no other better time to give it, it might be well to honor this day, but it seems to me that it would be much better to have this vacation at the close of the first half term. This would give us the same days and not far from the same date as Arbor day. There is a reason for this. Many classes have half term studies and the recess coming between the terms would not interfere at all with the work of such, and not more with the full term classes than if it were given at Arbor day. It is to be hoped the matter will be considered. W.C.
Modern Language Club.
The German division of the club will meet today at Prof. Carruth's at 4 o'clock. A varied program has been prepared and a pleasant time is assured.
The French division of the M. L.C. held their meeting at the residence of Prof. Carruth last Friday at 4 p.m. The program consisted of an essay by Mr. O'Leary, reading by Miss Hair, a scene from Moliere by Misses Virginia Spencer and O'Brien and Mr. O'Brien, and a discussion by Misses Belle Spencer and Pugh as to the relative merits of the French and English languages. The program was well carried out and enjoyed by all.
No literary announcement of the year is of greater interest to the general public than that of a comprehensive Life of General Sherman, which is about to be published and sold through agents by the noted house of Hubbard Brothers, of Philadelphia. Admirable biographies of Grant and Sheridan, complete to the time of their death,
Life of General Sherman.
are already familiar to the public, but a life of the third great commander, to finish the series, has been lacking. The various biographies of Sherman hitherto published have necessarily been incomplete; and even his own memoris, written 1875, said almost nothing of his intensely interesting early life, and not a word, of course, of the more than twenty years of social activity and fraternity with old comrades since the war.
The work which is now to be issued will splendidly supply the widely felt demand for a history of the great strategic cammander. It is to be writtan by General O. O. Howard, a man of fine literature attainments, who knew Sherman better than other of his comrades now living, and ranked next but one to him in the army, and by Willis Fletcher Johnson, whose ability as a historian is familiar to the reading public of America through his former unusually popular works, which have had millions of readers, and the sales of their vast editions enriched an army of book agents. That this history of Sherman, the last of the great Generals, will surpass all others in popularity is not to be doubted.
The story of this great General's career is of a marvellous march from the mountains of time to the sea of eternity. Of the three great war heroes, Sherman was by far the most interesting personality. He was the best known to the public and the best loved for his genial disposition and warm sympathy with the popular heart. He has joined his illustrious compere in the eternal bivouac of the dead. His is a life to study—to emulate—and is a profound inspiration. The forthcoming volume will tell the whole story of his marvellous career, and from the authorship engaged upon it, we are assured it will be told in a way that will enthral the attention and interest of every reader from first to last. It is a book every American will want and one every American youth should read. It will doubtless be the best life of the great chieftan published, and we predict for it wonderful popularity.
Last Thursday evening Rev. T. E. Vassar, the 7th lecturer of the Y. M. C. A. course, addressed a large audience at the Baptist church. His subject was the "Alps." Vivid description, stirring adventure and accounts of the danger of climbing the Alps entertained the audience. The Y. M. C. A. managers are to be congratulated on their continued success.
W. W. Overton withdrew from University work today, to accept a position with a prominent law firm at Kansas City. Mr. Overton has many friends among our professors and students who will regret to hear of his intended departure.
Through the kindness of John A. Mushrush we again have the Kansas City Journal in the reading room. We express the thanks of the school.

Science Club.
The anemometers were running a race last Friday evening but that did not prevent the Science Club room in Snow Hall from being filled with members and visitors.
The first paper on the program was on a new theory of gravitation by Judge West, with the title of "The Visible Universe Represented by a Bottle of Water and a Seive." By the use of these familiar illustrations the Judge explained the hypothesis which he had constructed to account for the fact of gravitation. As is well known, but commonly overlooked, Newton's law is simply a statement of phenomena, not an explanation of them, and the conception of an attractive force acting at a distance is a very violent one. The same phenomena could of course be accounted for by a push just as well as by a pull, and Judge West considers the cause of this push to be the pressure of the ether to which material bodies offer some resistance as a close seive does to water. Judge West's paper was deposited in the archives of the Science Club for future reference. An animated and extended discussion of this somewhat novel theory ensued in which several members took part.
The second paper was an account of some experiments undertaken by Mr. Frazier to determine the source of the mineral matter in Spanish moss. By putting a solution of lithium on the end of the stems it was found to be absorbed showing that the plant obtained at least part of its mineral ingredients from the floating matter of the air. It is to promote such original researches as this our well-equipped biological laboratories are maintained and if we are to rank as a University more attention must be paid to scientific investigation by the students.
An interesting letter from E.C. Franklin was read in which he told how the Berlin Section of the K. S. U. Science Club celebrated "It."

resolved to take time by the forelock and get the specimen, or at least several thousand pounds of it, for the University museum. He at once boarded a north-bound train and started for Highland. At Attichison he fell in with Prof. Cragin who was on his way to take possession. The latter kindly offered our Chancellor a generous half on condition that he would give him undisputed possession of the hole in the roof of William's house, as he wanted that for the Washburn collections.
From this point in the history of the affair, everything is wrapped in mystery. Prof. Snow came home next day empty handed. Prof Cragin has gone back to Washburn to revise his tables. The meteor is still sailing through boundless space.

The Tail-less Toad
The Tail-less Toad
(Dedicated to the A-D E-H C-N Class)
BY MISS ANN ONYMOUS.
Now listen to the tale I tell—
So started upwards, slowly rose,
Within this well there dwelt a toad. Who, pricked by high ambition's good, Declared that he would see the light. Would not endure perpetual night.
Aided by half-reptilian toes,
But found that he as skyward flew,
He fell back four feet, jumping two.
"This will not do,"he sadly said,
"I can't make headway with my head,
And if I would not wholly fail
My guiding star must be my tail."
So turned him round,and found that he
Had solved the problem easily;
Hope sprang up in his breast once more,
Descending two, he went up four.
And soon the glorious orb of day,
Did lighten all his devious way—
But, startled by the effulgence shed,
The toad turned tall and quickly fled.
Alone, in utter darkness now,
Hear his deep, dank and dismal vow
"Since this essay of mine did fail
Henceforth I'll never wear a tail"
L'ENVOY.
So listen to the tale I tell
So listen to the tale I tell
Of tailless tonds down in the well.
We print this effusion because politeness compelled its acceptance. We hope readers will receive it in the spirit in which it is offered.

The Handel & Haydn Club give their entertainment Tuesday evening, next. Much pains has been taken to make this in every way a brilliant success.
The operetta, "Trial by Jury," will be rendered by the musical talent of the University. The proceeds will go towards the Athletic fund. Keep a look out for the date Prof. Dunlap has expressed a desire for a rowing machine. He is willing to contribute towards getting one. Any persons interested in such exercise should see him and ascertain what can be done in this direction.
There is a call for a meeting of the students at the end of the fourth hour to organize a local oratorical association. This organization will be entirely friendly to the present one. It is expected to benefit it, and to further its object by arousing enthusiasm on the subject. It is proposed to hold a contest some time in November, thus giving prospective orators a chance to prepare for the more important struggle in the spring. Every one should attend this meeting and help in whatever way they can to make it a success.
Good authority has it that the student from Baker University who won the oratorical contest is only 17 years old and has never tasted a soda biscuit.
Miss Lucinda Smith was initiated into the mysteries of the Pi Phi fraternity last Wednesday. Faithful enquiry has not rewarded us with the particulars of the event.
Wednesday, Prof. Fulton addressed a mass meeting of students on the subject of elocution. The professor is not satisfied with the support he is receiving and wishes his class enlarged from about sixty to one hundred. With such support Prof. Fulton feels sure of favor from the regents next year.
Prof. Sterling has collected enough from students using the gymnasium to pay for the apparatus. We are glad to hear this, as it makes us feel at home. After many years of talking, working, planning, scheming and begging we have a gymnasium that is paid for and being run under a competent management.
Class Day.
The Seniors held a meeting at which class officers were elected and arrangements completed for class day exercises. MaKinnon was elected president with Rice as secretary and treasurer.
For class day, the Seniors have concocted a scheme entirely worthy of themselves, and if executed as planned will have none of the chestnutical characteristics usual to such events.
The day will be divided into three sessions at each of which an interesting program will be carried out. Among the new and startling features of the plan is a coach ride at 8 o'clock. All the class will join the coaching party which ends at the University where a morning banquet will be served. Faculty and Junior class will join the worthy seniors at this most pleasant feature of the day, and add to the brilliancy of the occasion by responding to toasts.
In the afternoon, besides a public program in the chapel,they will perform as a whole on the campus for the amusement of the Sophomores, Freshmen and country people.
In the evening the classes will resolve itself into a sort of mutual admiration society. Miss {Springer will preside as toast master, Miss Howell will respond to "Our Boys," W.A. Snow to "Our Girls," Mr. Morse will discourse class history while Mr. Barber will prophesy all manner of good luck to his classmates.

VIEWS.
An Elective Curriculum.
It is assumed in this paper that no student should be allowed to pursue any of the technical courses in the University, such as those of law, pharmacy, civil engineering and music without first having taken an academic course. Therefore the discussion will be confined to that part of a school training which is calculated merely to fit the student for pursuing higher and special work in one of the above mentioned schools.
It does not seem that a free and elective curriculum is suited to the condition of the Kansas State University, and the points proposed against such a system are as follows:
First. That the student on entering the Freshman class is not fitted by age and experience to choose his course.
Second. That essential parts of a college course are liable to be neglected.
Third. That it permits a "scattering" in work which is detrimental:
Fourth. And that the Faculty is better able to prescribe a course in accordance with the aims and requirements of the student, than is the student himself.
As to the first point, most students on entering the University are less than twenty years old most of them come from the High Schools of the state, where the opportunities for reading and gaining a broad experience are lacking. Buf of the applicants for matriculation have had any advantage in the way of good teaching and liberal training in their preparatory work They are acquainted only with the subjects taught in their text books and in most cases they have been hurried through the High Schools at such a rate as to preclude any real original work. It is a lamentable and perhaps unavoidable fact that the preparatory work of the High Schools cannot be made other than it is, but so long as the primary schools continue to be inferior it will be necessary to crowd the work in the High Schools. This state of affairs makes the students equipment on entering the University merely a collection of dates, rules and propositions, he is unable to think clearly and to the point; he usually has some end in view and desires to shape everything to that end, and hence, his inability to choose the best means of attaining that end often lead him into grave mistakes at the beginning of his college course.
The second point naturally grows out of the first, though other things add largely to its force; such as the
No.25.
tendency of education at the present time to be immoderately practical. Men who have no conception of education as a thing in itself, but who deem it merely a means of making money or accomplishting some other equally sordid aim, have urged practicality in matters of education until thousands of young people are full of the belief that a school which enables them to rush through a few so-called sciences and to obtain a smattering of some foreign language is the best sort of an educational institution.

BEFORE the contest at Emporia some one made known to the students of C. of E. the markings of the judges on thought and composition. This violation of a trust is to say the least very contemptible. There is much dissatisfaction expressed as to the way in which the contest was conducted. An officer of the association entered the contest in direct violation of the constitution. This same person made the loudest howl of any one over the length of the K. S. U. man's oration.
THE Courier Democrat of Seneca, Kan., gives us a good send off in its valuable columns. Thank you gentleman, we hope you will always keep the good opinion you have formed of us. Our object is to be as good an editor as we are a farmer.
There is a decided movement among some of the eastern colleges to exchange their weekly holiday from Saturday to Monday. This is done to break up the habit of studying on Sunday. We do not see how this would be accomplished by the proposed change. There are some students, who when they have nothing else to do will study. As there is nothing that they can do on Sunday they generally put in the day of rest in a manner more profitable than any of the remaining six.
Abolish Saturday as a day of recreation they will lay around Sunday thinking they will get their lessons on Monday, and when Monday comes there is need of bodily exercise which will be taken lessons or no lessons. Exercise is necessary and proper. We have among us certain students who are in the habit of taking long walks and making excursions around the country on Saturday both for excise and to see the sights. These trips often extend over many miles and consequently the pedestrian, when returned, finds himself very sore. Sunday to him is what it should be, a day of rest.
SATURDAY VS MONDAY.
Change Saturday for Monday and these trips will either be abandoned or if taken will prove detrimental to Tuesday's school work.
This proposed change is a violation of the established customs of ages. It is too much like the old story of the Irishman who before doing any work always had to take a rest. The week, both in the business and college world, by rights is ended on Saturday. Monday morning has always been symbolical of an awakening. Let us always keep it so. We are in favor of any reform but do not believe in getting out of the little groove that time has made for us, unless we can fill a larger one.
It is surprising to note the number of youngest men who took part in the late orator contest. Wash burn's representation was the 'youngest' (see Reporter), K. S. U.'s was 'several years the youngest' (COURIER), and our own orator certainly came very near the minimum of age. Since so much importance has been attached to this matter, let us settle it. Mr. Parrington is $19\frac{3}{4}$ years of age. How old are Myers and Hadley? Let us have the figures, gentlemen—College Life.
We are a little disfigured but still in the ring. When Mr. Hadley stepped upon the platform at Emporia (according to the family Bible) he was eighteen years old. When he stepped down forty-five minutes later he had passed his nineteenth birthday. We expect our record for precocity is the best so far.
We have never seen the necessity of the sub-Freshman course in drawing. Seniors who are up in all their studies have been known to take a course in charcoal drawing before they were allowed to graduate. This is the height of folly.
time that is spent in daubing up good drawing paper could be very profitably used in some other direction. It is safe to assert that there has not been a graduate from this school in the last ten years who, by any knowledge acquired here in the regular drawing classes, is able to make a presentable drawing of the most simple object. There are some persons who have no more ability in the line of art than other people have in the musical line. To compel these people to study drawing is unjust and despotic. After a year has been spent in this department one can look back and see that it is equivalent to so many wasted hours. The subject has not been studied enough to master it, but only enough to put in that hour required by the faculty, and, when it is completed there is not a sense of improvement and consequent advancement but only a sense of duty done in making up back work. If a knowledge of drawing is essential, if it is necessary, if no education is complete without it, let us have an instructor in drawing who is paid a living salary and whose department is raised to the dignity of any of the other chairs in the University, if not let us stop this farce and make drawing like any of the other purely practical studies entirely optional.
WE are in receipt of a letter from Mr. John Sullivan, of Kansas City, that does our heart good. As Mr. Sullivan is in a position to know what a paper should be, his appreciation of our feeble efforts in the paper line encourages us very much. Mr. Sullivan, as our readers very well know, was a prominent figure in college newspaper business here several years ago, and it is to his extraordinary ability as a writer and financier that this paper owes its existence. We may also mention that our old friend, Billy Taylor, thinks the Courier is the coming college publication, and wishes us much good luck.
A few weeks ago several students at Ann Arbor became involved in a difficulty with the militia, and a result of a charge on the students was the death of one of them. Eight of the militia-men are now under arrest for manslaughter.

Princeton now numbers 900 students, the largest in her history. The Freshman's life is a burden. It is reported that one evening recently a number were stripped by Sophomores and sent up a tree and required to sing, "Nearer, my God, to Thee." Special students are prohibited, by a recent ruling of the faculty, from taking part in athletic sports until they have been in college a year. This is intended to discourage men from attending simply for athletics.
A clipping from the "Book of Lamentations":
"The class cometh and the class passeth away, but calculus endureth forever.
"The Political Economy bringeth pain and Rhetoric great sorrow; but behold the Logic destroyeth utterly.
"The Logic is a letter book,but out of it come the vexations of life.
"The good student laboreth into the 12th hour, and the evil student seeketh the beer shebang and dwelleth in the tents of the wine merchant, and behold they are equally cast into utter darkness."
"Rich raiment rejoiceth the heart and many shekels make the face to shine, but the knowledge of Logic is more to be desired than gold—yea, than much fine gold.

High Schools and the University.
To the Editor of the Courier:
A score of days spent among as many high schools of the state is sufficient to convince the most skeptical that a radical change in their management is needed, not that they do not give their graduates a grammar school education, but that their preparation for the University is insufficient. This is more truly the case in the languages than in their other branches. Very few students who have been graduated from Virgil in a high school could take the University examination. Any student will tell you that the rigidity of the examinations surprised him in comparison with those he had been accustomed to pass with scarcely a misgiving. This is exactly why there are so many failures in the Freshman class.
It is a fact patent to those interested, that a great injustice is here worked to those who have no high school diplomas. The fact seems to be that the Faculty takes a student's a diploma as evidence prima facie that he is proficient in the preparatory branches. Yet any professor knows a few are, when reference is made to preparatory work. It is an injustice to the professor that such students be allowed in the classes, and it is detrimental to the student that he be allowed to enter unaecquainted with grammar school rudiments.
There is a difficult problem in the relation of Kansas high schools to the University which must be solved, and the University must solve it. High schools could be more rigid if they would, and they would if they had to. It is the desire of most of them to have a brilliant commencement, and to do this a large graduating class is necessary. Every year students are pushed through who are unable to name the presidents or work the rule of three, so that the graduating class might be larger, or that the student's feelings might not be hurt. Vanity and personalities and learning do not go well together. Yet a few high schools can be found which are not trying to combine the three.
The standard of the Kansas high school must be raised, or that of the University must be lowered. The choice lies with the latter, and it can afford to take but one course. The ways in which the high school can be bettered by the University need not be enumerated, but they are many. It is to the interest of both that this matter receive immediate attention from K.S.U.

This is Poetry?
She can paint and she can crochet,
She can parlez vous française.
She sings like a flute-throated linenet;
She is good at bowls and tennis.
But as a cook her name is Dennis.
Force can absolutely say she isn't in it.
She can flirt and she can talk,
She enjoys a midnight walk.
And she is the pristiest little dancer on
the Kaw,
At eucher she's a daisy.
And she nearly sets me crazy,
But she does not know a crowbar from
a saw.
In society, she's a belle,
And she dresses mighty swell.
And all the latest music she can holler.
She's a disciple of Delsarte
She nearly breaks my heart,
But she can not bake a pancake for a

AMUSEMENTS.
A great play by a first class company. "The County Fair" comes Wednesday, March 18th, and this production is likely to duplicate its New York success, and like the brook, run on forever. The production is well played, and the part of Abigail Prue, the cheery yet practical spinster, is attractive and humorous, while the other characterizations are well limed and clean-eut. That this play has honestly taken its place by the side of "The Old Homestead" as a winsome picture of rural New England life can not be gainsaid.
Two specially constructed baggage cars are used to transport the scenery and mechanism used in the comedy, "The County Fair."

"A Trip to Paris."
Last Friday evening a large audience of town people and students heard Prof. A.G. Canfield deliver an interesting lecture, entitled "A Trip to Paris."
Extracts from early history of European cities, personal reminences of travels on the continent, together with a large number of stereoptican views of interesting sights in and about Paris, highly entertained those who had availed themselves of the opportunity. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Philological club. This organization is the most active and successful of its kind connected with the University, and those who would be instructed and entertained, should keep a watchful eye of the Philological bulletine.
It is not the policy of the Courier to spoil a good lecture by attempting abbreviated extracts.

Miss Mason entertained a large company at cards last Monday evening at her home on Ohio street. The occasion was complimentary to Misses Barnes and Bigger of Kansas City, Kan., and Miss Hewins of Cedar Vale, Kan., who were her guests during the latter part of last week. Substantial refreshments were served late in the evening, after which conversation and dancing were indulged in by the remaining guests. Those present were Misses Headley, Hadley, Haskell, Rushman, Webster, Barrett, Simpson, Haskell, Morris, Van Hoesen, Hawkins, Towne, Henshaw, Snow, O'Bryon, Moore, Beard, Springer, Sands; Messrs.

Logic class has its final examination today. Two hours ago you might have seen sixty students being ground between the upper and nether millstone of the great mill of knowledge and then subjected to the blue pencil bolting reel to see who composed the shorts and who the flour. It is to be hoped that the meshes in the cloth were large enough to make the shorts crop rather slim.

mighty dollar" and the tendency to measure everything by a financial standard, has placed a so-called college at every cross road; and no town of any importance whatever is without its University. Now as long as this spirit is encouraged, and students are left free to choose, a great majority will continue to take German and French, because those languages are practical and modern. A knowledge of German will probably enable a young man to obtain a better position in a mercantile house, that has a large German patronage; a reading knowledge of French will permit the girl graduate to absorb the latest Parisian novel in the original; but a degree from a college whose curriculum permits such travesties upon the name of education cannot possibly stand very high in the world of letters.
The study of the sciences is surely desirable, both as a means and an end; but any other than a classical student finds it almost impossible to master even the the terminology in Zoology, Botany and Geology. An acquaintance with the Greek and Latin terms in these branches would enable the student to employ his energy in studying facts and phenomena instead of wasting his time in committing meaningless names. But ignorance on the part of the student, and the lack of any regulation to govern the matter, often result in neglect of the proper preparation for scientific study.
Again, many students enter the University who from ignorance or delusion choose the Modern Literature course. At the end of two years these same students may desire to study Roman Law,History of Philosophy, or even to pursue higher work in English. Now comes the difficulty, despite the advocacy of many well meaning people,a knowledge of German and French will not enable a student to read the Philosophy of Plato,or the Laws of Justinian. Not even the best translations are free from words,extracts and even long passages in the original.
Goethe makes his Mephistophele
so stain the third argument proposed when in the dress of Dr. Faust, the devil advises the enquiring student above all things not to let himself be "scattered." And at the present day, even more than in Goethe's time, "the day has gone over when a man may in all things be all." An elective curriculum in an academic school allows an amount of "scattering," that can scarcely be defended on any score. In the Kansas State University the student has six courses to select from at the beginning, with some choice of studies even during the first two years; and while in the Junior and Senior years there are almost no restrictions. A student who does not like languages, manages to evade the study of nearly all that are prescribed in the course he has chosen; and if it is Mathematics that is distasteful to him, he chooses Zoology; not because he wishes to study natural history, but because it promises to be easier than Analytical Geometry. And all this happens in the Freshman and Sophomore years.
The benefits arising from and the better qualifications for the faculties prescribing a course of study is the last point proposed. The Faculty of the Kansas State University, as of most other schools, is chosen on account of the known ability and fitness of the members for the various places they fill. Many of them are men of long experience in teaching, and all are men chosen on account of their merits, from the best schools of the country. Such a body of men is unquestionably better qualified to choose a course for each and every student entering the University than the student is qualified to choose for himself.
We like to compare our University with the great schools of Germany, and to point to the scholars of Berlin and Leipzig as evidences of the beneficial results of a free choice in a course of study; but in this comparison one important fact is usually overlooked. Our University is not on the same level as the German Universities, but it corresponds rather to the German gymnasium. In the German gymnasium the courses are prescribed and rigidly adhered to, so that the student who enters the University of Berlin, or any other great German University, is equal to our post graduate, and is ready to do original and independent work. The German school system furnishes the best thinker of our times, but this system is composed largely of a course prescribed and enforced by the state up to and through the gymnasium. Thus both in theory and in the light of experience it seems that an elective curriculum is not the best for an academic school, and is with academic work that the Kansas State University is at present most concerned.

Friday, March 6th, was the time for election of officers and created quite an excitement. The election was very close, seemingly a contest between Juniors and Seniors. At the end of the seventh ballot Mr. T.A. Finical, of the Senior class, was declared elected. After the president was declared elected the partisan feeling seemed to have died out as the following officers were then elected without much opposition: Vice president, Mr. Ned Riley; secretary, C. D. Bower; treasurer, F. G. Jewitt; sergeant at arms, D. H. Wilson; ex-committee, Sullivan and Casner.

Frank G. Crowell, son of Major John M. Crowell, has been unanimously elected president of the graduating class of 1891 of the Columbia Law School in New York city. This is the second honor conferred upon Mr. Crowell in the past year, showing that his fine legal ability is recognized, not only by the faculty, but also by the students of the leading law school of
the United States. The Champion is proud of Frank, not only because he is an honor to his most worthy father and mother, but also because he does honor to our city which gave him birth and reared to man's estate.—Atchison Champion.
F. G. Crowell is a graduate of the class of '88, the youngest member of his class. His success will make the hearts of his many friends glad. While here he was known as a bright able student and his ability was recognized on more than one occasion. The fact, of which we are the most proud, is that at one time, he was editor-in-chief of the Courier, and a very good one too. Congratulations Frank.
School of Music Concert.
The third concert given by the musical department at North College on Friday evening last, was as the others have been, a complete success. While it was the third concert given this year, it was also the first of two concerts on the lecture-recital plan which Prof. Penny is making use of for the benefit of his pupils. The affair was of an educational nature, but that it was also highly entertaining was shown by the marked attention of the audience throughout the rendering of a long program.
In the course of a few minutes' talk by Prof. Penny upon the history of the development of instrumental and vocal music founded upon dance forms, the real nature of the evening's entertainment became evident to those who were un initiated. It was to consist of an explanation of the characters of the various forms of dance music, each form being illustrated by a selection rendered by a pupil from the music school.
Every form of dance music from the wild Tarantelle of the Italians to the stately quadrille, as rendered by the Glee Club, echoed through the halls.
Comment upon the skillful renderings of each individual pupil would take up too much space here. All did well. Prof. Penny and his pupils are to be congratulated upon the advancement that music is making in the K. S. U.
Last week the Courier's local column gave a notice of the work of the gymnasium committee slightly at variance with the facts of the case. This is, of course, to be attributed to misinformation of the local man. But if the Courier's local man is misinformed, what is to be expected of the groping rank and file? To instruct my constituency, the readers of the Courier, to whom alone I am amenable, I wish to publish a statement of the

Forty-five individuals have joined the gymnasium club. Of this number two brethren have declined to to consummate their agreement by depositing the inevitable $2 with the treasurer. Thirty and one-half have paid $61. Two earned their membership by manual labor in the gymnasium. Two were granted membership in payment of unpaid field day claims of last June. Seventeen dollars are still due from eight and one-half members. This makes a possible sum of $78 to pay the following expenses:

Athletic Grounds.
The time has come when it is necessary to secure Athletic grounds. The board has as yet done nothing. The money given by Col. McCook and the Board of Regents is lying idle. Some action should be taken. It is generally understood that there is a difference of opinion existing in the athletic board in regard to what piece of land should be secured. Some of the board desire to pay a small sum of money for a piece of land not at all suitable for an athletic field, while the others desire to pay a good price for a piece of land that is in every way suitable for athletic purposes. The piece that is not suitable, but can be secured for a small price is the ravine, gulch or hollow north of the University. The land that is suitable for our purpose is the place that the University has always used for a campus. The place where our ball games have been won and our day contests, ever since the University was established. The ravine of course costs less than the land on Massachusetts street, but between the two there is absolutely no comparison. It would require an expenditure of several thousand dollars to put the ravine in any kind of shape and an annual expenditure of several hundred dollars to keep it in condition to be used.
The land on Massachusetts street is in close proximity to the business portion of the town, to the University and to the rooms of the students. It is by nature suited for an athletic field, no grading or draining is necessary. The ravine is away from everywhere and everybody. It would cost more to put it in condition and keep it in condition than the other land would cost. The board should adopt no pennywise policy. They should consider that the action they are taking is for all time and should not be led by the cheapness of one piece of land to select it in preference to a tract every way suitable for athletic purposes and favored by a large majority of the students.
One of the business managers of the COURIER dropped into the millinery parlors of Orme & Engle the other day, and what was his surprise to find this enterprising firm busy unpacking a full line of spring bonnets and hats. Easter comes earlier this year and Mrs. Orme & Engle will be prepared to show the finest line of millinery goods in the city next Thursday and Friday. The ladies of this firm have just returned from the east and their goods are all new and in the latest style.

We may at times become out of patience with a kicker but his services are invaluable in many ways. If it were not for him picking flaws and finding fault, such a state of affairs would exist, that the whole world would be kicking.
We are in receipt of the report on the Board of Regents of Manhattan College. The report, which is a very good one, shows material advancements in all their departments. It is surprising to note, in each professor's report, the amount of editorial work he has done on the Industrialist. Such a state of affairs would be a haven of rest for any one who has run a paper like the COURIER. Here instead of having a board of editors composed of the Faculty, and thus divide up the labor, all the work, which is generally from ten to fifteen columns, is done by the editor-in-chief and his right hand man the local-editor. Nevertheless, we would not have a change of circumstances even if we could. A paper that is owned by the college where it is issued, must necessarily be run on a very narrow basis, as the position a professor hold does not allow him to criticise or suggest with the freedom of a student.
WHEN the angel Gabriel says "Please remit," you cannot tell him to come around next week.

THE Kansas int r state oratorical contest is over, and now the college journalists of that state are wofully hard up for editorial matter.—Northwestern World.
Statements such as the above may be seen in most any muzzle loading newspaper, upon most any subject. Some writers in college papers, when they have nothing else to write about, will make wild and groundless statements about some other paper that they do not even take the trouble to pick up from the exchange table. When the above paragraph was written, the contest had just been finished, and the college publications were filled with contest news; the farseeing author thereof, concluded at once that our papers had been running for the last year, only to
THE Athletic Association expects to net a goodly sum from the entertainment to be given for its benefit in the near future, Midsummer Night's Dream. Owing to the number of people necessary to properly perform the piece, it is seldom put upon the boards, and for that reason it is assured a good reception.
The University lecture course as mapped out last fall was a very good one. The assurance that such men as Kennan, Riley and George would lecture was all that was need ed to insure the sale of a large number of course tickets. Now it is proposed to substitute such men Eli Perkins in their places. This is radically wrong and unjust. People who have procured tickets expecting to hear men of note, lecture, will not be put off with any such arrangement as this. Lectures are under the control of a lecture bureau, which puts up a bonus, when a contract is made, to insure their appearance. This bonus is forfeited if the lecture is not delivered as per contract. The gentlemen running the course are not embarrassed financially, as their contracts which were filed before they had any authority to publish a lecturer as going to speake here, precludes the possibility of such a state of affairs. We have heard many a howl about the proposed change, and for our part we cannot but see that there is a right to howl. We do not infer that this trickery was premidated at all, as our acquaintance with the gentlemen running the course leads us to believe otherwise, but that there will be a breach of faith some where, if things are carried out as proposed, is quite patent to all. It is in order for some one to rise and explain. If there are extenuating circumstances, let us have them.
chronicle the fact that J. I. Games had won the oratorical contest. The World was never more divergent from its base than when it made the above statement. Kansas college editors are a live, active progressive set as is shown by the editorial page of the Emporia College Life, Washburn Reporter, Baker Beacon, and University Courier. Any one of these papers will favorably compare with any of the eastern college publication of the same nature. If you want literature of a high order we would refer you to the Washburn Argo, Baker Index, University Review or Midland Monthly. We are afraid, dear World, that you have been consigning us to the waste baket and for that reason made the above statement through ignorance. All we ask is a show for our white alley. When we come to you don't tear our wrapper off and rush through our exchange column, to see if we have clipped anything from you, but read our editorals and see if we cannot write upon something besides contests, and whether or not we are woefully hard up for editorial matter. If you are looking for the old standby editorial that runs about like this. "Students of K. S. U., Let us impress upon you the fact that these are golden moments and should be improved. We are all back after our holiday, refreshed and ready for work. Let us do good work and win the love and approbation of our teachers who have our varied iterests at heart etc., etc." you had better look in some of your more cultured eastern exchanges, you won't find it in the University Courier. We are running a newspaper and propose to keep it as such. For us to exhort the student body, with a column article, that some people would call good editorial, to do something that we never did ourselves, seems inconsistent to say the least. Our ideas may be rough, crude and revolutionary and our mode of expression not quite suit a professor of English but there is one fault which we hope may never lie at our door and that is, of running an old-fashioned "sing songey" lifeless editorial page, the general tone of which, would indicate that the editor felt so far above his readers that he was able to criticise their daily actions and tell them to do something that they intended to
A RELIC.
One day while looking over a lot of old books we came across one of a modern date and altogether a very interesting looking book. Thinking we had found a treasure we took the volume up and began to read it. After reading the first two pages we thought we had enough and came to the conclusion that we had struck a snag. The object of the book seems to be to solve the much debated question as to the identity of the Divine Creator. It is without doubt the strangest composition we have ever had the pleasure to glance over. Four hundred and
forty pages are covered with the dryest, most abstract, unconnected string of words that mortal man ever put together. "Psychology, A Tale of Love" by Dewey is a first reader compared to it. At the end is appended a hundred pages of "Psalms and Proverbs" from which we clip the following. We want to give the author full credit:
"A rooster crows upon a post. A man is making a speech upon a bench; verily the difference in voice is the greatest difference."
"A corn is upon a farmer's shelf but on a sluggard's brow there is dirt and want. The day is only a night to him."
"A girl whirls in a dance and is fond of the act. She is copying the dog that chases his tail. A young man whirls in a dance. He is chasing a pretty girl."
"A cat climbs a post but a dog cannot climb. A bird sails through the air,but a quadruped is walking upon the ground."
"A shark bites a person in two but a crocodile swallows a child whole. A lion watches from a rock,but a panther watches from a branch."
"A scorpion is given a sting, it was a cabbage root."
"A fly is but a contracted gas, but a fish is made of cells."
"A bee is cross, it was made from a gooseberry blossom."
"A wasp is cross, it was made from the blossem of a sour berry."
Of course we cannot expect anyone to see all sides of a question. We know the full ability of human nature, and take it into account. All that we ask is, that people occasionally withdraw themselves from their daily occupation and thought and try to see themselves as others see them.
GET OUT OF THE RUT.
Some persons would be surprised at the revelation of their faults. The student entirely wrapped up in his own plans and ambitions, would know why others avoid him and passed him by as one with whom it was no pleasure to associate. He would have a feeling of remorse, not only for having borne himself so sullenly toward himself by allowing the social side of his nature to become dwarfed.
The individual wholly devoted to society would, we fear, fare no better. Standing at a distance, and viewing his own self in perspective, he would see clearly that he had made that an end which was only suitable to a means. It would dawn upon him, for the first time, that he deserved the epithet of fool, which had been so often placed upon him. Finally he would know why people had always laughed at him and called him a good-for-nothing fellow.
But these characters, the student only, and the society man only, are but two among many, who would be greatly benefited by getting away from their own narrow spheres, and viewing their thoughts

President Samuel Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, says that the greatest labor movement ever undertaken has been inaugurated at Kansas City. The employees of all the railroads centering there are organizing for federation. Well, the sympathies of the general public are undoubtedly with labor federation, and will remain so unless united labor on its part should be tempted on when it gets power to use the same oppressively and offensively. Then the strongest, most widespread movement will collapse, as the universal strike in Australia did.
Sherman's Sayings.
It will be in order now for some properly authorized person to make a small book containing the wise and witty sayings of Gen. Sherman. He had more literary ability than any of the rest of
our generals. He had far less reserve than Grant, and consequently spoke his thoughts boldly out. One of the most characteristic of his utterances was delivered on the verge of death itself. The general had had a precondition for some time that he txd not long to live. He had watched with pain and mortification the attempts to erect a monument to Grant in New York. He declared most emphatically and solemnly that never with his permission, living or dead, would there be any movement toward a public subscription for a monument to him. He said repeatedly, "Remember, don't pass around the hat for me."
Another saying worthy to be graven on the memories of young Americans was this, "I have always kept in mind to undertake great things, leaving little ones to adjust themselves to results." Private Dalzell contributes to The New York Sun some of Sherman's utterances in regard to different generals. All are striking and original, but the "sizing up" of Gen. Howard is most so. The conversation touched on the Freedman's Bureau scandal. "Howard," said the eld commander, "is a soldier, every inch of him. Personally he is honest to a fault. Those religions fellows did all the stealing and let the blame fall on Howard."
Newfoundland, England and Canada.
Newfoundland, England and Canada.
The connection of England with her colonies on this continent reminds one of those "semi-destached villas" so extensively advertised in the London journals. After all these centuries of occupation it has not yet been determined just how dependent the American colonies are on the old country. An Englishman berates the colonies, says they are an element of weakness and that the kingdom would be better off without them. But let an unprejudiced outsider suggest that then England would better let these obstreperous colonies go altogether and shift for themselves, when straightway the Britain grows red in the ace, pounds the table and stakes his bloody eyes that the United Kingdom will hold on to them as long as she has a ship or a man left. So how is an un-
prejudiced outsider to make up his mind?
I introduced ourselves to make up my virtual Newfoundland is the only considerable province of civilized British America that had the independence to stay outside the federation of states of the Dominion of Canada. Therefore she feels at liberty to exercise her own judgment even to the extent of making treaties with the United States, the same being subject in some hazy way to approval by the home government. But it shows supremely how much England actually leaves her American colonies to themselves when we remember that Newfoundland was just on the brink of making a treaty with the United States whereby on fishing vessels should go into Newfoundland ports and buy bait and fishing supplies to any extent, and also transship their fish cargoes in the same ports. In return for this the United States was to admit Newfoundland fish free. These are the very points about which Canada and our government have been disputing for years.
The best of it is that England was about to allow the treaty to proceed, when Canada rose in arms and declared it meant loss and disaster to her—Newfoundland getting ahead of Canada in the fishing industry so far that Canada could never catch up. It is a strange situation, the interests of these two British American colonies as diametrically opposed to each other as even the interests of the United States and Canada are supposed to be.
Canadian statesmen profess to see in this state of affairs the fine Italian hand of Mr. Blaine, slyly dividing her majesty's colonies to their own destruction.
Meantime, however, it is not the fact that the whole United States government is lying awake nights to watch these quarrelsome little fellows fight it out.

I saw a new variety of plant for parlor decoration in a florist's window the other day, the price being marked at the modest figure of $100. In the passion for this display, which is now rampant here in Boston, I am told that the money expended is out of all proportion to the intrinsic value or beauty of the product, some rare specimens being sought for in preference to one in which the attractions of form and color are conspicuous. This sort of interest recalls the Dutch tulip mania, and though there is perhaps no danger that our Yankee flower fanciers will lose their heads, as the old Hollanders did, yet it is worth remembering that the latter were hard headed, matter of fact people, and it is such, by the way, who are apt to be most unsettled by a gust of excitement.—Boston Post.

In the Reading Room.
Among all the magazines and periodicals to be found in our reading room none are more deserving of notice than the Journal of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The Journal is not merely a technical magazine intended for memberr of the Brotherhood, but anyone interested in general reading will find something instructive between its covers. Especially is this magazine valuable to the large number of students possessing work in the engineering and mechanical courses. There are articles by practical men on various phases of railroad work and the construction and making of the locomotive. The last number contains an excellent discussion of air-brakes. The Journal has been placed in the library by Supt. E. F. Crocker for the last four years. But now through the instrumentality of Supt. Crocker and the kindness of the Journal editor, H. C. Hays of Cleveland, O., the University library has been placed on the free list, and hence the Journal will continue to make regular visits to the library.
"Hamlet"-Prize Questions.
Dr. Furness in reply to this request selected the following questions; "1. When Hamlet accuses himself of being 'pigeon-livered,' of unpacking his his heart with words, etc., etc., (II, 2. 575), are these self-reproaches, as applied to his whole career, deserved or only morbid?"
"Hamlet" has been the subject of study for some time past in the department of English in the University of Kansas. The "Furness Variorum" has been the text-book, and, not unnaturally, when Prof. Dunlap wished to offer a prize to his class the subject to be chosen from one of the three subjects, he turned to Dr. Furness, writing to him to ask him to select the questions.
“2. Is the career of Claudius one of strength or weakness?”
"3. When Ophelia (III, 1, 134),
tells Hamlet that her father is 'at home' did she tell an intentional or
unintentional lie? If the former,
can it be palliated? If the latter, is
not her tragic fate undeserved?"—

Athletic Meeting.
Last Tuesday the executive committee of the Athletic Association met. Reports from various committees were received, among which was the committee on the tri-angular league between the University, Baker and Washburn. Delegates from each school will meet here today and arrange details.
The location of permanent grounds was brought before the meeting. Mr. Bowersock spoke at length in favor of the Mississippi street grounds and moved that the owner be offered $1500 for the property. The subject was thoroughly discussed and left open for one week. This is a matter of the most immediate interest and the Courier's prayer is for wisdom to this committee.

W. E. Curry says, "I have heard Eli Perkins in his lecture on the Philosophy of Wit and Humor and it was one of the best I have ever heard."
University is struggling against an untimely death. Last Friday evening several pleasant gatherings took advantage of the beautiful evening.
Those taking the practice are much pleased with the new gymnasium. Prof. Sterling deserves the thanks of all in his work for the gymnasium.
Pathetic humor and witty wisdom are Eli Perkin's forts. Those who heard Bob Burdette in this line will not miss his superior Eli Perkins, opera house tonight.

Buy a new Hat for Easter at Abe Levy's.
At a meeting of the Junior class, Monday, among other matters the class day programs were filled. H. B Hall was selected orator, and R. D. Brown was appointed to answer a toast.
We desire to call attention to Mr. Hadley's explanation of the lecture course management in another column. It appears that the local managers have done all in their power to make the course a success, and we feel sure the public will not attach blame where it is not due.
The Holy City.
Not the new Jerusalem, but a musical feast enjoyed by many citizens of Lawrence and students of the University on the evening of March 19th.
Despite the almost impassible condition of the streets, the Congregational church was comfortably filled by 8 o'clock on Thursday evening, the occasion being the presentation of the oratorio Holy City by the Handel and Haydn society. No one who was present, whether he was possessed of a musical ear or not could have failed to enjoy that music. The chorus singing, filling with its volume the spacious church, showed the careful training that forty voices had received to bring them all into concert. The fact that the majority of the chorus singers as well as all of the soloists but two were from the University, is evidence that K. S. U. is possessed of musical talent which is a credit to the institution.
The soloists did admirably. Miss Brown and Miss March gave the contralto airs in their usual effective way. Miss Hutchings' soprano did not lack any of its characteristic sweetness. Miss Berry won the applause of the audience and astonished some of her friends who had never heard her sing. Mr. Keys scored one for the University on the bass. Mr. Simpson's tenor solos were well received.
Athletic Grounds.
Mrs. Hayne presided at the organ and Miss Nellie Franklii at the piano. The intermezzo on these two instruments was an enjoyable feature of the program.
The success of the whole was, of course, largely due to the conductor. Prof. Penny is determined to have that chapel organ, and we will get it by and by.
Easter Ties at Abe Levy's.
The enterprising millinery firm of Orme & Engle are now prepared to show the finest line of Easter hats and bonnets ever brought to the city. It would require too much space to even give the slightest description of their large stock, suffice it to say that they have all the latest styles of both French and Easter millinery. We were shown a few specimen hats but it would take an artist to describe them justly. The Shepardess is a favorite hat for young ladies, also the one called the Butterfly. The Juxton, trimmed in wheat heads is considered the best style in the East. The leading colors this season are tan, turquise blue, French gray, and green is always in style for spring hats. In flowers, morning glories, thistles, poppies and asters. All goods handled by this firm are of the best quality and at reasonable prices.
Easter Doings.
To the Editor of the COURRIER:
As I find myself utterly unable to agree with the conclusion of the COURIER's article of last week concerning the proposed athletic grounds, I beg to be allowed to state in its columns my exceptions both to the facts and to the opinions there expressed. In order that I may be as bief as possible I shall take the liberty, as did the COURIER last week, of making some statements without giving my proof in detail; but I shall make no statement of fact for which I cannot furnish the proof if desired, and no statement of opinion which does not rest upon a long consideration of the whole matter and has not been subjected in my own mind and in conversation with others to the test of criticism.
First, as to maters of fact. It would not require an expenditure of several thousand dollars to put the "ravine" in any kind of order. The "ravine" is not away from everywhere and everybody: on the contrary, it adjoins the present University campus, it is on a street by which a large number of students now reach the University, and was at the beginning of the present year nearer the actual center of student population than the grounds on Massachusetts street. It would not cost more to put it in condition and keep it condition than the other grounds would cost.
One word more on this matter of cost. Economy is absolutely dictated by our present circumstances. The price of a field to the association is its final total cost. The proportion of the amount spent for land to that spent for improvement has nothing whatever to do with the question. If one piece of land costs $1,000 and is for its purpose without further expenditure, and another piece, gulch, hollow, swamp, bog, fen, forest, or whatever else you please, can be had for $250 and made equally fit for the purpose for $700 more, then the purchase of the second piece, however unsuited it was "naturally," represents an economy of $50.
But I am quite ready to agree with the COURIER that it is possible to be penny-wise and pound-foolish in this matter of economy. What is absolutely indispensable is that grounds shall be suitable, that is, shall be well adapted to the purpose for which they are intended. Grounds that should not fulfill this condition would be dear at any price.
What is then the purpose for which athletic grounds are intended? Can it be mainly to afford a place where match games may be played with other colleges and clubs? Surely the team must be
trained before it can play. Can it mainly to provide a revenue from gate receipts for the maintenance of athletic sports? That would be almost the same as saying that the purpose of athletic sports is to pay for themselves. Plainly the real purpose of athletic grounds for a college is to give to the largest possible part of the student body the most convenient opportunity of engaging in athletic sports. It would hardly necessary to prove that uearness to the University would be a factor of importance in determining the comparative suitability of different grounds. For although University life does not center here about the University buildings as it does where the dormitory system prevails, yet the University building tends more and more as time goes on to be the center of the college world. Already a large number of the students are at the University both in the morning and in the afternoon. To many Juniors and Seniors an hour between two lectures is all the time they feel able to afford for out-door sports, and it happens not infrequently that the nine loses a valuable player because he is unable to keep up his practice as he might, were the grounds within five minutes, walk of the University.
One should also not forget the convenience of the grounds to the gymnassum—when it comes: and I say, in passing, that it will come a great deal sooner if we get along without a big field debt to be paying interest on. The gymnasium must be near the University. It will be an advantage if the field is near the gymnasium.
But, leaving the position of the University entirely aside, the Mississippi street grounds are absolutely nearer the center of student population than those on Massachusetts street. And that center is much more likely to move nearer those grounds than away from them. The tendency of the college population is to approach the University. It is doing this by climbing up the hill as far and as fast as opportunities offer, and by drifting westward into a quarter of the city that was practically inaccessible to it before Mississippi street was opened to the University.
Thus the only advantage adduced by the Courier in favor of the Massachusetts street grounds which is not possessed in still larger measure by those on Mississippi street is that they are "in close proximity to the business portion of town." I suppose the force of this fact lies in the implication that the business men would give money to help buy these grounds than they would to help get the others, and that the
No. 27.
receipts from spectators at games would be larger there. But these are purely economical considerations and do not not touch the real question of suitability, and are quite as likely as the matter of first price to induce "penny-wise" action. We hope the business men will show a generous interest in our project and lend it financial support; and we shall always be glad to see them at our contests, especially at twenty-five cents a head. But that is not what we are getting the grounds for. The grounds are for the students and not for the business men of Massachusetts street, and the convenience of the students present and future, must be the first and the last thing to be consulted. The business men will pardon me for putting this somewhat badly; they will not seriously advise that athletic grounds be located with reference to their convenience any more than they would that a library building or an observatory should be so located.
Furthermore, simply as a matter of economy, it will be impossible to show that the location of the grounds on Massachusetts street will secure sufficient additional gifts and income to balance the difference in cost between them and the grounds on Mississippi street. They will cost at the very least, in suitable shape for athletic sports, not counting the fence and grand stand, $2,000 more than the others, $2,000 means an annual difference in interest of $160. He would be bold who would guarantee the association a net annual income of $160 from all sources, to apply on an interest account.
And this is counting on the purchase of but one piece of land on Massachusetts street. The singlepiece is not large enough for the needs of the University. To make it answer the purposes which an athletic field ought to answer we should have to add to it the field lying east of it, an at an additional cost of $4,000 or a yearly interest charge of $320. Those are more sanguine than I of the strength of athletic refairs at the University who are willing to assume for the association such a debt.
I hope I have made it clear why I thought—and still think—that the Mississippi street grounds are, not only economically but in all other respects also, the best for the Athletic Association to buy.

A CERTAIN student with more valor than discretion, took offense at what we said about the University lecture course last week.

When he took into consideration the well known athletic ability of our local man;the noble exponents of physical manhood our business managers; the six feet four of one our associates, and the by no means pigmy frame of our editor-in-chief he came to the conclusion that there was a man he wanted to see around the block.

That is right. We had somewhat to say on this subject in the past but did not exhaust it. It is a lamentable fact that in every ball game that this institution has played with rival colleges, as far as the writer knows, there has been hired talent on the opposing side. The desire for victory should not be so great that the rag tag and bob tail of humanity should be pressed into a college nine simply because it can play good ball. Let our college ball nines be representative in every sense of the word, and then victory will be victory.
ATHLETIC GROUNDS.
At the meeting of the A. A. K. S. U. on last Friday it was decided to purchase the grounds situated on the corner of Massachusetts and Adams street. There was some talk of buying the land just north of the University for this purpose, but when everything was taken into consideration, it was not thought advisable. Its situation, and the necessity of grading were the most potent arguments against it.
The piece purchased is, we think, far preferable. It has a central location, needs no grading, street cars pass it, and it is near the University. Mr. H. S. Hadley was largely instrumental in having this site selected as he made the proposition that if these grounds were purchased he would see that they were properly fenced and a grand stand erected. This at first may seem a rash proposition but after a little thought it will be seen that Mr. Hadley knew whereof he spoke. The thousands of feet of surface presented by the fence will be an admirable place for our merchants to advertise, and many of them have expressed their desire to avail themselves of this splendid opportunity.
The moneyed men of the town who take an interest in athletic sports, will contribute liberaly to the project. Here will be a place where the careworn business man may for a while drown his trouble in
the pleasure of watching a base ball, foot ball or tennis contest from a comfortable sent in a sheltered grand stand. Mr.Hadley has our approbation and hearty cooperation in this venture.
MUSIC.
Whatever music enters into it becomes the life of it. Take music away from the dance and what have you left, nothing, absolutely nothing. Street fakers, patent medicine men, quack doctors know full well the power of music, as is evinced by their always having with them the best musical talent their means will allow.
What is there so inspiring about music? We wish we were a poet only for one thing, and that is to do honor to this noblest of the Arts. We have music of many kinds; it is as various as the moods in which man will find himself. There is a strange affinity between music and the different temperments of humanity. A quick martial air has the power to dispell care and quicken the step, a soldier, when weary with the march, his musket heavy and his feet sore will be enlivened and rejuvenated by the strains of a brilliant march. He is a new man, music to him is, as the electric current to the dynamo. Even the horses in the army are susceptible to the power of music. Any of us who have seen cavelry maneuvers, know how the horses prance and charge when the bugle sounds. What is there in the many scenes of life, more worthy the brush of painter or the per. of poet than a troop of richly caprisoned cavelry moving as one being, through their intricate drill and ever and anon the mellifluous strains of the bugle sounding out strong and clear. It is majestic, grand, sublime.
We have another phase of music, just the reverse of the former, instead of being invigorating it is soothing, calmly pacifying. We know of no better composition of this type than the immortal Schumann's "Traumerei." But our subject is too extensive, our theme too broad, our vocabulary too small to do justice to this the recreation of the ancients, the life work of masters, the aspiration of the modern's, this the most elevating refining and enlightening of all the arts,—Music.
AN EASTERN MAN.
President Eliot of Harvard College, as is well known by our readers, made a flying trip through the west not long since for the purpose of advertising the institution which he has the honor to represent. While on his road home this highly cultured and self important personage took it upon himself to unburden his mind on the subject of the west. Among the many good good things he said is the following: 'The west as a mass, is incapable, dense, ignorant and wrong.' This is absolutely the most impudent, presumptuous, and ill-mannered misstatement of facts that we have ever heard, from any one who, by
the inexpicable action of fate, is put in a position to command our hearing. This is a sad example of the oft repeated saying that a man may have all the education in the world and not be able to draw a right conclusion from his observation of common things.
This is only a repetition of what has often been said and believed by many persons hailing from the effete and conceited east.
The facts of the case are that the region of country west of the Mississippi river can produce a larger per cent of genuine capability, a higher grade of average intelligence a better, higher and broader culture, and a hundred per cent more of good common horse sense than any other region, of like proportions, on the face of the globe. Here will be found the brains, nerve, push, enterprise, pluck and sinew of this nation today. Here is where the great men of the nation are being fostered and here is where you find the characteristic American. There was a time forty or fifty years ago when the utterances of the inflated aristocrat might have applied to this country, then the Indian, cayote, and rattle snake were supreme, and no one would care how they were slandered, but now the case is reversed, in their place you will find the highest type of civilization, a development not to be equalled in the culture I cast in 300 years. When here he said many things that sounded nice, he touched our weak side, he flattered us, and we poor fools took it all in we supposed he knew what he was talking about. But this one statement that he has made, and not denied, spoils it all, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth, we have been truced, villified and defrauded: The trustees of Harvard College had better cultivate the powers of truthful observation in their representative or give him a vacation of limited duration.
Fine Hats at Abe Levy's.
Our regular correspondent, Mr. P. H. Knowlton, is heard from this week in an interesting article on the "Farmers and the University" We would be very much pleased to see more of the spirit exhibited by Mr. Knowlton, show itself in our students throughout the state. Let us hear from you, and thus bring your college into closer connection with the outside world.

University Lecture Course.
Editor of the Counter:
On account of the numerous breaks in regard to the University lecture course we desire to make the following explanation. Last fall Henry George, Riley and Kenan were promised us by Major J. B. Pond, of New York, and on his assurance these men were advertised. A letter from Pond dated Sept. 26 reads as follows: "I enclose contract for Mr. Kennan Feb. 10th. Henry George you can have late in January or February. He wants to do all his lecturing in a bunch. I will ascertain as to the date I can give you on Riley."
Any fair minded person can see from this that the committee were justified in advertising these men. Henry George had to spend the winter in the Bermudas on account of poor health or else he would have appeared on the course. Riley in a letter on Nov, 5th says, "No one has authority to make dates for me as I am not lecturing this season." The contract for Keennan was broken without reasonable excuse and in consequence legal proceedings have been commenced against Pond. The University lecture course deeply regrets these unfortunate yet unavoidable circumstances, and has been making and is making every effort to secure satisfactory substitutes.
In place of Riley, Eli Perkins was substituted, as he was the only humorist obtainable, and we assure all who will hear him tonight that they will be well pleased. In regard to the other vacancies we cannot at present state, but hope to be able to secure able men in place of Kennan and George. But if this fail rest assured the University lecture course will do the fair thing. If we are not able to fill out the course matters will be settled satisfactorily to all.
The Lotus Glee club will be at the opera house April 4th. This is the finest concert company on the road and costs the course $200. We thank our friends for their patronage and assure them that everything will be settled in a satisfactory manner.

Chairmn of the University Lecture Course.
The Question of Athletic Grounds.
At a meeting of the Athletic committee held Friday last, the question of permanent location of athletic field was decided and put in the way of permanent settlement.
The committee decided in favor of the Massachusetts street grounds and declared themselves prepared to close the deal subject to one proviso.
They declare themselves prepared to contract to pay $6,000 for as fine an athletic field as ever laid flat on the ground, provided the students of K. S. U. with the help of the citizens of Lawrence will raise enough money to provide a suitable grandstand and permanent fence.
Those of us who are interested in
athletics, (and who is not?) have now an opportunity to do something for the advancement of that interest of K. S. U. We believe that the choice made by the committee is not only wise but popular with the students of the University.
The proviso to purchase leaves the matter in the hands of the students. On us rests the success of a movement which will redound to the credit of our Alma Mater.
This will not be accomplished by a small majority subscribing 50 cents or $1 and then hang off paying for a month or two in payment. Let us have a fully attended mass meeting early next week, learn from those who know what is required of us and then roll up our sleeves and do something for old Rock-chalk.

Ode to the Metre,
What Gilberg in his affidavits said of thee,
Oh metre tell us truly is it so?
That by instructions of the lighting company,
Thou oft are regulated to run fast or slow?
Thy gas'ly face here on the mantle now I see.
Where eight day clock once told my time to go.
Her papa put you there, with fell economy.
to make it know how gas and time doth flow.
Ah, well and now alone from sympathy for thee
That thou mightiest rest from arduous nightly toll.
We'll turn off gas, by love's bright light we'll see.
And schemes of papa, time and gas man fail.
Fi's two, what ho! like time and tide art
thou I see,
And ever moving though now fast,
now slow.
Yet mortal hand has never once stayed true
Off turned the gas or on, thou 'rt always on the go

German politics will scarcely seem itself any more with Bismarck retired and Windthorst dead. In the opinion of some Windthorst was as great a man as Bismarck himself, and only failed to be as famous because he was a Roman Catholic and leader of the Roman Catholic party in Germany. As it was he wrested from the German government more privileges for members of his church than any one before him was able to do. He managed his party in the German parliament with the skill of a Cavour. He held them together as one man. Often when Bismarck wanted a majority for any favorite measure he was obliged to call the clerical party to his aid. In return for their votes Windthorst always secured additional advantages in the famous kulturkampf. He exacted the fullest price for his party's compliance in the matter of votes. If he had been on the side of the state religion in Germany there is no honor he could not have aspired and reached. And there is none who can take his place.

Large cities ought to have at least one municipal lodging house, apart from the police stations, where decent strangers who have no money can go for a night's lodging. It often happens that excellent people who are not acquainted with city ways find themselves in need of just such a lodging house. Women and children get lost, strangers are robbed and swindled, and strangers are robbed and swindled, and it is not fair to them to put them into a lodging with police criminals. Decent, cleanly quarters ought to be provided.
The failure of a bank in Illinois will cause serious loss and inconvenience to some savage chiefs on the Congo, it is said. The reason of it was that the bank was the depository of a considerable fund which supported the Congo missions that were under the charge of Bishop Taylor. The missionaries appear to have practiced hunting native children from the chiefs and putting them into the Christian schools. They called this "trendening" the youthful egreses. They educated them to civilized lives. The missionaries got boys for nothing, but girls they had to pay thirty dollars apee for. Meantime the chiefs got rich and fatt, and everybody was happy all around. It seems, however, a peculiar way of suppressing the slave trade.

LEGAL NOTES.
On account of a lecture delivered to the members of the Kent Club Friday, March 20th, by Professor Blackmar, the program for that date was not carried out. At an informal meeting of the club, held after the lecture, it was declared to meet March 26th, at 7:30, as Judge Emery is going to deliver a lecture on the subject of "Lobbying and Public Speaking" at 1:30, the regular time for meeting. The program intended for March 20th will be rendered at the next regular meeting of the club.
Prof. J. W. Gleed, of Topeka, has recently taken charge of the Senior class in the study of Real Property. The members of the class seem to like his manner of conducting the recitations very well although he did not compliment them very highly on their first recitation.
Prof. Blackmar's lecture on "The Rise of the English Judiciary" was very interesting as well as very instructive. He traced the history of the English Judicial illustrating in his masterly way the cause of each successive step, as well as the manner in which it was brought about, from the time of the Folk-moot and Hundred-moot to the present high state of English and American Jurisprudence. The club showed their appreciation by tendering Prof. Blackmar a vote of thanks for his valuable services.
Mr. J. Lr Mack is still on the sick list.
Prof. Green was not able to meet his classes Monday on account of an attack of la gripe.
Eli Perkins is a college graduate with an A. M. after his name and gives a moral, witty and instructive lecture. Says Rev. S. P. Edmonson of the M. E. church of Hammond, Ohio; "He caused us to lose all thought of time and revel in every species of laughter from the suppressed chuckle to the side-splitting scream. His expose of Inger soil's fallacy of infidelity was worth a hundred sermons."
Farmers and the University.
To the Editor of the Cocumen;
Opinions formed within the walls of the University often suffer a fall upon coming in contact with the cold facts. Those who have been of the opinion that all the farmers of Kansas are opposed to the University must change their minds after a few week's ramble among its farms and farmers. The dissimilarity between those who do and do not support the principal of a state university is indeed marked. It is difficult for the one to see the usefulness of higher educational institutions. He argues that Latin and Greek are not essential in the planting of his crops. He believes the phases of the moon will give him ample counsel. If his son desires a professional education, he can be sent to some other state as cheaply as at home, and the taxes will be avoided. He regardes such institutions as domiciles for rich men's sons, whose dash quite precludes the hope of the rustic youth in his desire for prominence. Reasoning and patience have no effect upon them. They cannot abuse Chancellor Snow, whom they recognize has been their benefactor, yet they are unwilling to succor the institution that gives him employment. The unobserving will notice their characteristics. They are shiftless, wasteful and improvident. The newspaper has a small place in their heads. This call may be in predominance now, but it cannot predominate long.
There is another class of farmers in Kansas, which keeps abreast of the times. It is composed of men of brains, men of action. Their farms are well kept. Their stock is cared for. They are as different form the first class as night from day. It is these men that support the University, and are solicitous that their sons and daughters receive a good education.
Kansas is no exception to the law in withholding her bountieous fruits from him that worketh not. The fact is just being learned that it requires active and well informed men to farm in Kansas. By the survival of the fittest, the future
will see the ignorant and the idle give way to the intelligent and industrious—the first class succomb to the second. Then, and not until then, need the University expect more than an annual pittance for its running expenses.
