NOT CLASSES ALONE.

Going to classes of itself will never
give anyone a complete education
The student who never goes elsewhere
tends to become narrow minded. He
lives for nothing save books and rules.
The University requires that he go to
classes regularly. This is well.
But there is one thing that it doesn't t
require. Every Tuesday and Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock there is an
assembly in the auditorium. Often
there are speeches. Students are not
required to go-but that is one of the
features of big school. Students in a
university are supposed to know what
opportunities are offered by these ex-
erC.ses. they help in education and
should lie MADE part of every weeks
work.

A LESSON FROM LITTLE ITALY.

Kansas City, and the United States
for that matter, learned a lesson a
few days ago when the Italian trans
latiOn of a pamphlet of the Board OF
Public Welfare appeared in Little
Italy. The pamphlet contains gen
eral information for the citizens OF
Kansas City. In this information
was How to get divorce"
When the pamphlets came out for
distribution in Little Italy. it was
found that the translator, the Rev.
Charles Delbecchi of the Holy Rosary
Church, had omitted everything in
regard to obtaining a divorce. In re-
ply to the inquiry of the Board OF
Public Welfare, he said: You see our
people do not need to know how to
get divorces, because they do not be-
lieve in them
Little Italy believes in the holy
bonds of matrimony just as sacredly
as it believes in God. And that's the
solution of the whole problem. Laws
requiring thirty days notice of a
marriage and the like are merely at
tempts to cure an evil without get
ting at the cause. And all these laws
must meet the same fate-failure.
There can be no solution to the di-
vorce problem until we regard mar
riage in the same light as the people
of Little Italy.

HE SHOT AN EX.PRESIDENT.

There is a lack of partisanship in
the genuine regret of the American
people over the attempted assassina-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans unite with Pro-
gressives in lamenting that anyone
should try to kill man who has been
deemed worthy of the Presidency of
the United States.
Colonel Roosevelt has made many
enemies in his long public career.
Large numbers of the citizens of the
country do not agree with his politi-
cal views. He has been attacked both
in his public and in his private char
acters, perhaps more bitterly than any
other man. But it is safe to say that
no sane man countenances this sort
of "rebuke" to his present candi-
dacy. If for no other reason, the
crime should be condemned because
it attempted to deprive large num-
ber of citizens of their free choice at
the November election, and was thus
a blow at the principle of majority
rule, the foundation of democracy.
A disordered mind led astray by the
continual bitter attacks On-the ex-
President is the only conceivable ex-
PLANTATION for the crime. For after
all, assassination is out-of-date as a
means of eliminating man from pub
lie life. The people of the United
States are quite able to choose their
President, and anything which limits
their free expression of opinion at
the polls is an attack on the under
lying principles of the Republic.

sity's Elementry School.

result to the class, thus unconsciously
having lesson in arithmetic.
Later came reading about a game
the pupils had played. The children
eagerly gave short descriptive SEN
tences, as I'VE stood in line" I'VE had
four balls" Before we played We
asked some one to count for us"
BILLY was the most careful player"
These sentences were we'll written
upon the board by the teacher, were
read, drilled upon and later written
by the children.
Besides the usual written or oral
forms of expression found in all
schools the teachers of the Elementary
School lead the children to express
their observations aid judgments in
drawing and painting, in clay-model
ing and in working in wood
Storytelling both by the teacher
and children forms a foundation for
literary work and later little dramas,
based upon the fairy tale or folk-story,
are given in which the children take
part.
AS the pupils grow older they are
encouraged to study home industries.
So excursions are made to the post
Office. to the shoe factory, to the bak-
cry. meat shop or candy kitchen, and
the information gained serves to give
themes for work in composition. Thus
the study of subjects of real interest
is paramount and the acquisition of
the means of expression becomes in
cidental.
The older students go farther afield
and extend their excursions to neigh
boring towns or places of interest
where the operations connected with
numbering, fishing or mining may be
observed. This leads naturally to the
study of history.
On the second floor is a library
containing the best books for young
people and the pupils are taught to
use them to supplement their obser-
vations and studies.
To make independent, original
thinkers, instead of people who are
satisfied to get their knowledge from
books alone is what this system of ed
ucation aims to accomplish.
