BUY YOUR TICKETSNOW No Jayhawker Orders Taken After March 1---Pictures Must Be in by Feb. 20. Jayhawk tickets are now on sale at $2.50, the price that luxurious custom has decreed for the K. U. annuals in the past few years. If the old system of the lucky girl who goes "fused to" the Senior Play works, it will cost the "graffee" an even "V." That is, if he is foresighted enough to buy tickets now. If not, he must pay an added penalty of "two-bits" on each book. No tickets will be sold after March 1, and the price of Jayhawkers will then be "hiked" to $2.75. This is to insure the management against the loss that always ensues when a large edition of books must be printed before they are subscribed for. Tickets for the annual may be secured from Clark Wallace, Elmer Dittmar, Harold Brownlee, Emily Swick, Rachel Baumgartner, Emerson Bray, Carleton Armsby, Harry Weaver, Ethel Stone, and members of committee.

Another educator has advanced a criticism of teaching Latin in High Schools and the friends of Latin sit back and point to the fact that in the past few years the number of Latin students in the high schools of the country has increased from thirty to sixty per cent. Prof. E. C. Moore, head of the educational department at Yale, before the Los Angeles Teacher's Institute, said that "of all the undesirable features of our high school system, the foolish plan of teaching Latin is the worst." Prof. A. T. Walker, head of the Latin department at the University of Kansas smiled where shown Professor Moore's remarks. "Why, when I started in to teach Latin," he said, "I was terribly afraid that in a short time I would lose my job, but now," and the professor spread his hands expressively. "A larger per centage of high school students study Latin than ever before, and the 500,000 high school students that Professor Moore says are wasting their time studying Latin could not employ it to a better advantage. One rememberes as much as he remembers for any other high school course, and what he does remember does him more good. Besides there is the acquaintance with history and the classics that one gathers from the study of Latin." "In fact there are three marked benefits that accrue to the Latin students, "continued Professor Walker" In addition to history and classics, there is the disciplinary power gained with its development of the reasoning and selective functions of the mind; then there is the great aid to learning English that must accompany a careful study of Iatin. Over sixty per cent of the English words are Latin derivatives and they are the more technical and unusual words; the short and familiar Anglo-Saxon words are the first learned " Professor Walker has written a chapter on Latin for Prof. C. H. Johnston's text-book "High School Education." The following is an excerpt which summarizes the chapter "To return now briefly, to the definition of the goal of Latin teaching as the ability to read Latin, it is clear of course that the practical aim must be to teach the pupil to read Latin just as the practical aim of the foot-ball coach must be to teach his pupils to carry the ball over the goal line. But foot-ball is not retained as a college sport merely that ball may be carried over a goal line; nor is Latin retained in the curriculum merely that its pupils may learn to read Latin. If football is to remain a college sport, the coach must, it is true, teach his pupils to carry the ball, but all his tactics must be chosen with reference to the cultivation of courage, fair play, sportsmanship or whatever other good qualities are claimed for football. If Latin is to remain in the curriculum the teacher must likewise, teach the pupil to read Latin, but all his methods must be chosen with reference to the higher aims of inculcating right habits of thinking, of improving the pupil's English and of cultivating his appreciation of literature.
