TO INFORM TEACHERS.
Good Roads Association Urges Teach.
ers to Help in Campaign.


A bulletin urging the passage of the
good roads amendment is to be dis
tributed to the teachers who visit To-
peka this week by the Kansas Good
Roads association.
Some of the pointed paragraphs of
the bulletin are:
"a school house by the side of
well kept road is of much greater inn
portance than a barn.
kansas prideS herself on her well
equipped school buildings, but has
left the transportation to these school
houses IS the last consideration.
Federal statistics issued this month
show that the cities have grown seven
times as fast during the past decade
as the country, and yet one-fourth in
the country must feed the other three
fourth in the city. The farms are be-
ing deserted for the more advan-
tageous life in the city.
Better educational advantages is
one of the prime motives causing this
unfortunate shifting in our popula-
ton.
Home life is barren without child
life, and that child life is marred
which does not have efficient school
privileges. The school year covers
those seasons when weather conditions
are the worst and not single county
in Kansas is prepared with roads to
meet the Indictment weather.
Every state in the Union now has
laws that enable the state to aid in
meeting this rural transportation prob
lem except Kansas"

Most of our highly endowed col
leges started poor. Their faculty'
therefore, was compelled to divide It's
time between teaching and admins
trative affairs. No hard and fast lines
were drawn between the faculty duties
and those of the business administra-
tives forces. The president of the in
stitution himself usually taught phil
osophy, ethics and psychology. three
subjects about as abstract and far re-
moved from practical things as are
found in the realm of all human
knowledge. At the same time he was
supposed to be the most practical man
in the institution. He must know how
to raise money, how to spend it, how
to preach, speak in public on every
conceivable topic, write books, d1plo-
maticalIy handle his faculty, always
lclamoring for more salary, his board
of trustees always clamoring to keep
down expenses, his alumni always
clamoring for everything, each in his
own way, the student body clamoring
for more holidays. and the genera
public contributing their quota of critt-
cism. This picture may seem to be
overdrawn but to a large extent is
! true even today.
Discipline by Few.
| 1.-THE functions of the university
may be simply analysed into teach
| ing. misunderstanding, and business
administration. Each. function to a
very large extent should be kept sepa-
rate from one another. The business
office. for example, of a college might
well be located in a modern business
office downtown, miles away from the
academic institution. The discipline
could be administered by as few peo-
pie as possible, it being a well known
fact that college professors are pecu-
lliarly inept in dealing with discipll'

In the first place, our colleges in this
country have, like Topsy Jess growed.'
They have never been organized into
any genuine system. They have al
WAYS been individualists. Any man
or any group of men of prominence
may get together anywhere and under
any provocation organize what is
called a college. There is no law
against such a procedure and no law
compelling a college to live up to any
particular standard.

President Holmes Speaks.

Essential things are wrong with the
whole educational system of the
country, declared President Holmes,
in his address before the college de-
partment.
A wider differentiation of the duties
Of the president. the faculty, and the
other officers of college was recon-
mended by President Holmes.
THE fact that last year eight. or
nine of the presidents Of the largest
universities in this country resigned,
or left their positions for various rea-
sons not always made public, indicates
that something is the matter with our
colleges" said President Holmes.
LAS one president has pointed out,
the average professional life of the
college president is about eleven
years. At the end of that period his
professional career is done He is
Strapped for life. He is thrown into
the discard no matter about his age,
his health or his abilities. 1t may be
also interesting to know that the aver
age president is compelled to change
his position, first, on account of OPP
position from his faculty; secondly, on
account of opposition from few
alumni; and, thirdly, on account of
the colleges failure in athletics. Al
most never does he have any difficulty
about education or about educational
theory What a significant common
tary upon our educational system in
this country!
Almost On Surface.
when we begin to inquire about
the causes of such conditions, they
seem to lie almost upon the surface.

Scandalous Parrot Goes Unheard in Din of R;rd

Into the West Thirtieth Street police

Berne, O'Brien and Mulvaney AS they
passed the lieutenant who had sent
them forth on their quest they gazed
on him with eyes as .reproachful as
those of the ghosts popularity supposed
to haunt the former Kaiser.
Pat-olman Berne was wet; O'Brien
was wetter, and any one could see that
Mulvaney was the wettest Of the un-
happy trio. 1t was he who first fell on
what was left of the gold fish tank and
thereby deferred the capture of the
Holden monkey a full ten minutes.
This delay was much appreciated by
the crowd that blocked Fifth Avenue at
Thiritieth Street and witnessed the
pursuit through the generous windows
of George H. Holden's bird and animal
store. The. monkey liked it, too
Berne, O'Brien and Mulvaney swear
that he laughed at them. In fact, the
policemen and the goldfish were the
only parties in the transaction that did
not register delight.
Almost Preached Mutiny
In the squad room Mulvaney lifted
up woeful Irish keening, singing the
agonies of the monkey hunt and the
disaster that had overtaken expensive
uniforms and scarcely more precious
human cuticle. He also preached
mutiny:
Are we ga-a ardeens of the peace or
animile tamers?" he demanded do

took and attach him to this precinct,
if they want hunter of wild critters.

He got only partial attention from
his fellow huntsmen. They were too
busy checking up on their injuries
personal and sartorial.
An excited voice notified the West
Thirtieth Street station shortly after
o'clock last evening that monkey
in Holden's was out and that he was
amusing himself by freeing every
caced creature in the place.
When the unfortunate Berne,
O'Brien and Mulvaney reached the
store, they had to fight their way

There was q mighty crash, an up

merce and Labor, Saturday night.
Subsequently a sta cement was issued
by this department. The statement de-
cisres the assertion that the executive
department has no right TO grant con-
tsssons in national lands is without
foundation. since paragraph OF Ar

Resident the right 10 grant corces-

companies represented are being dam
aged through concessions granted in

it was added that concessions
granted under the Carranza decree
would produce immense national rev.
saues, and the statement concluded by
saying that although no decision was
reached, the interested parties have re-
solved to return for the purpose of ex-
changing ideas with the ministry with
4 view TO seeing if it is possible to ar
,ivest an agreement favorable to all
interests"
