MINNESOTA GOODS
FROWN ON FACULTY

denotes Of College Life.
GIRLS ANSWER WITH A POEM


MINNEAPOLIS. MINI, March iO.-Crit-
icism OF the ability of the faculty mem
bers as newspaper reporters and editors
was still heard on the campus of the
University of Minnesota today. The muir
murings resulted from the work of the
Instructors in publishing for time THE
Minnesota Daily" the university news
paper.
News stories, the students contend,
were put aside by the faculty to make
room for personal views. Particular ex-
ception was taken to an unsigned article
which declared that sentimental rub
bish" is product of co-education.
THE educational systems In Americs
the article said, are still in an cxperi-
mental state For example co-educa-
ton has not yet proven itself an I'M
qualified success Many ievel-headed
people have doubted the wisdom of such
system.
Certain growing tendencies at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota have added ma
terially to the seriousness OF these
doubts. Beauty contests anu balloting
for Ideal husbands and other sentiment
tai rubbish has done much to damn the
system.
when young men and women. aeso-
ciated in a supposedly intellectual part
nership. spend their time in hectic ieal-
ousies and amorous rivalrles. self-con-
sciously selecting the most beautiful in
their midst. preening themselves and
showing their tsil-feathers like so many
absurd peacocks, then surely we come
perflously near to treading the primrose
path TO the everlasting bonfire prepared
for the silly.

us to the ridicule of the whole country.
for Minnesota becomes advertised from
coast to coast as supporting a state
! matrimonial agency. Small wonder that
under the circumstances many men and
women turn eastward to institutions less
epicene, where mixed pink teas are al
most unknown and week-ends of ogling
frivolity are nonexisteft.
why shouldn't our athletics decline
when many OF our men are nourished on
oak tree embellishments and the )
o'clock cream puff: when dances and re-
ceptlons take the place of base ball and
the sturdier forms of exercise?
Luckily the men Of the professional
schools are tied to the mast OF their
work and the siren songs come only
faintiy to their ears. Tney must look on
with amused wonder at the chatter OF
Vanity Fair.
Some people will stoutiy deny the al
legations we have made. Among them
will be those who have succeeded in
getting married under this system
Naturally they throw over Il the roseAte
flush OF their success"
Nettled by the article. several of the
girls who took part in the beauty con-
test held a meeting and made reply in
verse through the columns of THE
Minnesota Daily"
Under tho caption. Choose by Brains
Not Hairl Mebbe so--Mebbe So" is the
poem:
We congratulate the faculty
On Its undoubted knack TO see
The sordld side Of everything we do
II we merely try 10 rest us,
From the weary thoughts that pest us
and through.
Still we're hazerding some guesses
That the girl with lovely tresses
VIII outshine the .brainful maiden just
the same.

New Safety Device.

A clever device to insure that not
more than ten men at once shall ride
on the mine cages is in use at the
colliery Of Jermyn & Company at
Rendham. 1t consists of a turnstile
with four spaces, which will revolve
exactly two and a half times in one
direction, thus admitting ten men. The
turnstile revolves on a screw thread.
of which there is just enough to per
NIT the two and a half revolutions.
Then the gate TO that shaft is closed.
and that TO the adjoining shaft opened
and ten men are admitted by the
turnstile revolving in the opposite d.
rection to the cage in that shaft The
device stands between the two shafts
1t is the invention of Supt John Cor
coran, and has been in use long
enough for a thorough test. The only
way to load more than ten men on
either cage is for the extra man to
climb over the turnstile or gate, and.
of course, the headman will not. per.
NIT that.

GET BUSY AND
START SOMETHING

There's never anything new in
this town"
How often have you heard that
remarkq We had it hurled at us
a. couple of days ago.
And why is there nothing newt
Simply because everybody waits
for somebody else to start some
thing. We are all ready to talk
if the other fellow will do, but
too few of us are willing to take
the initiative and "start something"
What made New York, and Chi
cago, and Philadelphia, and all of
the other great cities of the coun-
try? Was it their natural advan-
tages alone, or the people who
wait for others, or did they just
happen?
1t was neither of these. 1t was
the ability and the initiative Of
their "do something" citizens.
There is no place in those burgs
for the fellow who "waits." (
We can do the same here, if we
want to. Not on as large or gil
gantic scale, of course, but still we
can improve our condition thou
sand per cent. if we will only re-
solve to edo things"-and then
do them.
There are just as many brains
in this town in proportion to pop
ulation as there are in New York,
Chicago or Philadelphia, but they
are like the sleeping volcano while
the city mans brains are con-
stantly in eruption.
1t is time to wake up-to come
out of our trance-it is time to
ado something"-and we address
this statement particularly to the
friend who accosted us couple
of days ago.
We suggest that YOU do some

Promptly at the hour named the In

in line respectfully waiting. They did
not wait long. In not above a minute
the grand duke stepped out of his car
facing the trades persons, and looked
them over for several minutes in 81
lence Then he spoke:
Gentlemen, what I have to say to
you is very serious for you, and is
comprised in exactly three words. Do
not steal-or I'll hang every mothers
son of you"
With that he turned on his heel and
re-entered his car. The audience was
at an end.

CLIPPINGS FROM THE

George Robinson, for forty years

Louisianian by birth. As boy
he wore the gray and had an
army of friends and acquaintance
extending from ocean to ocean.
Robinson was an old timer. He

One Of the principal results Of
a social nature worked by the
present war in the British Isles is
great reduction in the amount
Of pauperism. War means en-
ployment, whole-time work, an.
incubation Of the whole industrial
system with the vigorous toxin Of
military efficiency and energy.
Thus, in London, the average num-
Der of casual paupers each Friday
night, when they are counted, has
fallen from 1,139 in 1910 to 225
in 1915. For the whole of
England and Wales the drop dur
ing the same period was from
10000 to $500, practically 80 per
cent. Social reforms are in part
responsible for the decrease, as
after 1910 the liberal Government
put into effect far-reaching inn
provements in care of the helpless.
But the official accounts state
plainly that the war is responsible
for the major part of it. In the
midst of the greatest war in
history there are fewer people
suffering in the British Isles than
in the prosperous times of peace.
We had similar experience in
this county during our Civil War.
Crime as well as pauperism de-
creases in wer, and it is reported
that the canned Apache has dis
appeared rom the streets OF Paris.

fact that she, the owner of iewelry
