MR. CRANE'S FIGURES
Millionaire Crane, with three sons in Harvard, after an extended investigation rises to inform us that the colleges of our land are on the broad road to the damnation bow worms. And he proves it, not by mere assertion, but by figures. He shows us that 90, an even 90, mind you, out of every hundred Harvard freshmen drink. Not 89 or 91, but 90. And out of the mass of figures, he shows that 15 out of every hundred college men go irretrievably to the bad.
Mr. Crane should be, and doubtless will be, hailed as a saviour by the coming generation of parents for piloting them safely around the pitfalls of higher education. And those statisticians of our own state who perennially view with alarm the immorality of Kansas institutions will find solace and balm in the figures of Mr. Crane, the figurer.
At frequent intervals last year the University Kansan expressed the hope that students would take more interest in debate at this school. In this hope it received the hearty co-operation of Professor Gesell of the department of public speaking and steps were taken toward the creation of a more lively debating interest. With respect to this school the results were hardly flattering. The formation of the high school debating league was a worthy achievement and its usefulness has already been manifested. This year it is the intention of Professor Gesell to install an interest for debate in the student body that has never before existed. In this effort he should be supported by every student in the University. Especially to those who are entering for the first time should this appeal come most forceful. Those who have been in school before seem to have rejected the idea of establishing substantial debating societies, and if the members of the freshman class succeed in arousing a long dormant interest in debate they will have accomplished a grand thing for their Alma Mater. A forensic victory over Missouri ought to carry with it as much honor and approbation as a triumph in a contest of brawn.
The death of two of the Kansas congressmen within a few months of each other comes home with especial keenness to the University. Representative Mitchel who died early in the summer was a graduate of the institution, had served on the Board o Regents, and was the kind of citizen of who reflects credit upon his college. Representative Madison who died yesterday made the entire University body his friends when he deliver the opening address last year. Without college education him self, he was a true and dethinker, in sympathy with University men and University aims. Both men were at the height of their powers, with a prospect of many years more of useful service ahead when death claimed them.

The selection of a proper cheer leader is of vital importance to the success of the approaching football season. Under the leadership of Ralph Spotts, organized cheering has been given the proper impetus and it is essential that a man be chosen who can carry out the work already started. The necessity of organized efforts on the part of the student body has been proven in former years, but the work has only been started. What we want, need, and expect is a greater, more enthusiastic, and more loyal cheering student body, and it is incumbent on the next leader to produce this. We have been successful in the past with our leaders, and we must select the most capable man who is willing to give the best he has for the creation of a consistent cheering body.
All students of the Graduate School are required to meet Dean F. W. Blackmar in Room 110 Fraser hall at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon.

Oread High School Has Several Deficient Students.
The purpose of the school is to give as much individual training as possible to each student and in this way make it a model high school. The idea is as yet a new one and the University of Kansas is among the first to take it up. Columbia, Missouri and Nebraska are the only other Universities with this department.
The Oread High School, a laboratory for pupils of the School of Education, wherein prospective teachers may acquire a knowledge of their future work, was opened yesterday morning in Myer's hall with an enrollment of 36. A.W. Trettian, associate professor in the School of Education, is the principal and has direct charge of the teaching. The school is for the purpose of enrolling both high school students, and those of the University students who wish to make up deficiencies in entrance credits. Fifteen or sixteen have already entered for this purpose.
