WHEN PASSION SINGS

This serious passion embarrassed
him. bored him. A little seriousness
in love is all right. But not too much ;
that makes it a burden, and not
pleasure. He thought of passion as a
prima donna who, after singing neI
great cavatina, returns with extenoeu
arms to salute the public. But An
nette's passion did not seem to know
that the public existed She played on

Our Failing University.

Theodore Kronshage Jr., University
regent, believes our state school is
slipping. He says it is equipped to
, handle 1000 students and has 5000.
He points out that our university has
failed to keep pace with the great
schools of other states and as a re-
suit Wisconsin has been unable to get
forward mind as school president.
Mr. KrOnshage's principal complaint
is in reg, I'd to legislative niggardli-
ness. During a time when the state
has tripled n wealth the university
has had no appropriations for new
buildings and no needed additions to
the teaching staff At present, Mr.
Kronshage says, 124 full time teach
staff up to the par of 1911 when the
university lead the country in edu-
cative standards.
These are a few things Mr. Kron-
shage says We think it is right he
should say them and we think he is
sincere. The people have right to
know and if properly informed will
never fail to do what is right along
educative lines.
And along with defects in the top
of our educational system lies a more
crying need at the bottom. New and
better methods are sadly needed. The
amount of lack of opportunity, ignor-
ant prejudice and lack of information
in the world is astounding and dis
heartening. To the writer's mind the
common school system is far more inn
portant than university can ever be
because it affects all the people where
an advanced school course is given to
but a relative few
While we are standing up for our
university, let us not forget our com
mon schools. They are the bulwark
of democracy.

inconsistency.


In a we'll written editorial the Fen
nimore Times condemns the commits
sion idea of government as expressed
in this state. The Times believes that
commissions should b abolished root
and branch. And with certain reser-
vations the Herald agrees.
But the trouble with the Times is its
inconsistency 1t fails to recognize
that the real evil lies not in the COM
missions but in the SNUG and false
pseudo progressivism which lies be-
hind the commissions. 'The Wiscon-
sin Idea" and Robert NJ. LaFOllette
and his political and economic here's
les are responsible for the lamentable
state of affairs in this state where
taxation reaches four times the height
of communities in sister states. And
they are governed to death.
When battles are on the Times keeps
still. Not word of criticism or dis
approval then. Out of season the
Times rails at commissions. rms
makes for popularity because people
like you when you agree with them or
do not shock them by violent attacks
on their canonical beliefs But 1t does
not create respect-the respect which
comes from an honest enemy who pc
lieves you sincere if mistaken ana au-
mires your candor and courage.
A few papers and a few men nave
been carrying on an apparently nope
less fight against Wisconsin paterna!-
ism. We would feel encouraged II
the Times would come and work win
us in season and out. Or we Woulo
respect the Times if it felt the other
way and would go the other way CIV
