THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1909
Tomorrow the legislature for the first time will be the guests of the State University. It is only fitting that they should visit here and at the sister school at Manhattan in order that they may provide for the advancement of the two schools with a greater knowledge of what each requires. It is also to the advantage of both institutions that the legislature visit the schools and carry to their homes in all sections of the state when they go the glories of the higher educational institutions of the state. The state legislature represents the people of Kansas and we venture there are not three more representative institutions than the legislature, the University and the Agricultural College. The University not only owes but will give to the legislature one of the greatest demonstrations of genuine Kansas hospitality they have ever enjoyed when they arrive tomorrow.
The visit of such men as Dr. Grenfell to the University and the stories he tells of his wonderful work in Labrador should have a great effect on vitalizing the work of education. It brings a realization that there is still a great work to be done in the uplifting of the human race and that it is to be done by the educated class. His experience teaches that, despite the fact that there are some questions of dead mythology to be settled and all are not agreed as to the tenets of a decadent, mediaeval theology, there are still grounds to hope for the material betterment of the welfare of the human race. It demonstrated that organization of society directed by the knowledge of science is the solution of many problems that impractical people usually try to solve by words of the mouth, rather than by deeds of the brain and hand.
A new paper is soon to be started at Manhattan by the students in the printing course. The publication will be known as "The Kansas Aggie." That good old name "Aggie" is all right after all and the Manhattan people are sticking pretty close to it. And yet less than a brief year ago the students and faculty were agitating to drop the name and to call themselves The Kansas State College.
FAVORS UNIFORM APPROPRIATIONS
If any change in existing laws is made affecting the University of Missouri, it ought to be in the direction of a permanent endowment, removing from the institution the constant fear of vicious "slaps." So long as the institution is at the mercy of legislators who consider it an appropriate subject for "slaps," so long will its usefulness be curtailed. The people of the State are not in favor of any such policy.
A distinguished Democratic governor, Hon. Thomas T. Crittenden, made this fine epigram in one of his messages: "Parsimony toward education is liberality toward crime," or words to that effect. This is pre-eminently true in the matter of higher education. The State University should be placed beyond the caprice of legislators with grudges up their sleeves and should be raised out of its condition of biennial mendicancy. Instead of cutting down its revenue its income should be increased and assured, as has been done in many other states. If retrenchment is necessary in the conduct of the State's finances, the last victim of the economy should be the higher institutions of learning. Kansas City Journal.

Frank Brock and Archie Weith, working under the fellowship of the Pfaudler Enamel Company of Rochester, N. Y., are testing the resisting power of different grades of enamel. On account of the great decrease in the wood supply of the United States, enameled steel is rapidly coming to the front as a substitute. The K. U. experimentors are trying to find a grade of enamel that will resist decomposing elements longer than the kind now used.
