WHAT SHALL BE TAUGHT?
"Less Latin and Greek and more practical subjects," is the ideal which Governor Stubbs has set up in state education, and the Governor has announced that he will use his influence to shape the state schools to his ideals. "I don't know that I should say less Latin and Greek should be taught, but by all means there should be more industrial training in all schools, from the lower grades to the Doctor's degree," said Prof. Charles Zueblin at the University last week. James Bryce, the British ambassador, made an address before the Phi Beta Kappa society at Michigan last week in which he argued strongly for a larger study of the ancient languages. Ambassador Bryce has spent his life largely in an intellectual atmosphere, and he is in a position to see how great will be the loss to the world if the classics are abandoned as a subject of study. Governor Stubbs and Professor Zueblin, on the other hand, are more interested in the industrial aspect of society, and they can see how much the world may be benefited by industrial training. Such views as are expressed by all three of the men quoted will have to be considered by educators in the near future. Education can no longer be limited to the classies. Neither is the world ready to get along without the classies. Therefore, the education of the future means increasing of courses and facilities, the retention of what has been proved by time to be good and the addition from time to time of what comes to be considered desirable.
ARE WE DISCOURAGED?
For the eighth consecutive time Missouri has defeated Kansas in debate. The team that represented the University was
considered to be one of the best that has ever been sent from the school and yet the Tigers defeated them with as much ease, seemingly, as they have the other teams in former years. Like the Hon. Post's war cry up at Battle Creek presumably "There's a Reason," but just what this reason is, is proving mighty puzzling to Kansas.
Kansas has won one and lost two debates this year. Both of the defeats were by teams that were reputed to be the best that had ever represented their institution. Both of the losing Kansas teams were considered to be far above the average University debating teams. The only reason that can be assigned to the defeats for Kansas is the excellence of the opposing teams. Debating is coming more and more each to be recognized as a true college activity among the western schools and the high class of men that represent these schools each year means much for the future of debating. The results of the debates at Kansas this year are not discouraging.
The Kansas City Star contains in its last edition a vivid description of an attempted kidnapping of a University young lady. Such a story ought not be printed. In a short time fond parents over the state will hesitate to send their children to a school where there is danger of their being kidnapped and held for ransom.
The election for membership on the Women's Student Government Association should be given careful attention. This organization ought to occupy the same relations to the young ladies that the Men's Student Council does to the men. Both of these bodies are experiencing a remarkable growth of power and they are both bound to be greater factors in the school life. An enthusiastic election will do much towards making the work more effective.
The success of the interclass meet last Saturday illustrates the possibilities of what a Kansas track team can do by systematic training. One record was broken and in several other cases the runners came with a fraction of a second of breaking records. Everything points for another defeat of Missouri in the outdoor track meet.
Where Boston Gets Its Culture.
Then is Boston culture a myth? Not while Miss Ibsenetta Browning dwells among us. Ibsenetta reads Plato on the trolley cars, and quotes Kant in season and out. Her dream is to back you into a corner and talk you a monograph. She justifies everything the comic papers have said about Boston culture. She comes from Kansas.—Roland Lynde Hartt, in Metropolitan Magazine.
Seniors
Mr. Henry Ford, of Detroit, has offered the oratorical association of the University of Michigan an annual amount of $300 to constitute a testimonial for Michigan undergraduates taking part in the debates of the Central League. As there are always two Michigan teams, with three men on a team, each debater will receive $50.

--young man. Good Form, this spring, gives fullest sanction to certain lively color-combinations which, a few seasons ago, would have been considered "giddier than a College Widow." Be careful, however, about the "cut" and "drape" of your clothes. The Semi-British effect is the thing, but be mighty sure you don't get one of the dowdy imitations which are parading under the name of "English suits." We will be pleased to show the new stuff that's in vogue with the most discriminating young men in the Eastern style centers; very special models and patterns, not shown elsewhere in Lawrence.
