ADDRESS AT THE ODEON CLOSES
DAYS SESSION OF STATE TEACHERS.

David Starr Jordan. president OF tho lie
land Stanford University addressed the
Missouri State Teachers Association last
night at the Odeon. His subject was What
the Twentieth Century Demands"
In his introductory remarks Mr.. Jordan
said that he had come the self-appo mt
ed advance agent of new and remark
able century. He pointed to what. to his
mind. was the work to be accomplished and
the manner of men necessary to do 1t.
He said in part;
'The Twentieth Century will be strenu-
Gus, complex and democratic. Strenuous it
must be, Gs We can all see, and we have
to thank the young man of the Twentieth
Century who gave us the watchword of
the strenuous life.
Our century has host of things TO do.
II has only 4 hundred years to do them in.
and two of these years are gone airsaI.-.
We must be up and bcstir ourselves.
'AS the century is strenuous 50 will ii
lie complex. The application of science has
made the great world small. while every
part of II has grown nsistent- As the earth
has shrunk to come within our grasp.
has world expanded 10 receive it.
More than any of the others. the Twen-
tieth Century will be democratic The great
est discovery of the Twentieth Century will
be this axiom in geometry: The straiGht-
est line is the shortest distance between
two points II something needs doing, do
It. The more plainly, directly. honestly. the

Democracy does not mean equality-just
the reverse of this: i, means individual re-
sporshility, equality b, fore the law. of
course: equality OF opportunity. but no 9th
equality save that won by faithful serv-
ice.
THAT social system which bids mon rise
mus; also let them fall II they cannot
maintain themselves. To choose the right
man means the dismissal Of the wrong. The
weak. tho incompetent. the unframed. the
dissipated find no growing welcome in the
century which is coming.

borers. bucket of water and basket

THE PRESS IN EDUCATION"
BY EDITOR WALTER WILLIAMS

The keynote Of the papers on THE Press
in Educat on was s5un led by the opens
ing seRtence of the address delivered by
Walter Williams of Columbia, Mo-. at the
afternoon ses1ion of the Missouri State
Teachers Association.
school textbooks are embalmed brains;
they are yesterday bound in boards" he
declared. The newspaper is to-day"
The afternoon session was devoted entire
ly to discussion of the part taken by
newspapers in educational work. The
speakers represented all classes of journal
iern, but their views centered upon the one
principle.
That the modern journal exerts a power
full influence upon the education of the
people was the foundation. 1t was Gained
that this influence has a healthful effect
upon the masses, while to those who have
had the advantage of a collegiate course
1t is no less beneficial.
The relation Of the metropolitan ewTa-
per to the educati question was dis
cussed at length by George S. Johns. He
claimed that the featuring of news was one
of the greatest strides that have been taken
In enhancing the value Of the newspaper as
an educator.
.'The Journals that are devoted exclusive
ly to educational matters are as essential
to the teacher as are those whose speciality
is medical or legal matters to the doctor
of jefferson City.
Mr.. Ga. s said that the school pa pers ad-
vocate the newest ideas. and that, Is this is
an age of progress the up-to-date teacher
cannot afford to neglect this means of keep
Ing in touch with the progress in the pro-
fession.
THE echool paper is a destroyer OF fads."
he continued. 1T distinguishes between
the good and the bad in manner that Is
helpful to those interested in education.
Il: Is the first to cry out against educa-
tional fakes and the first to fight for the
adoption Of new and beneficial methods.
There Ia nothing old-fashioned or passe in
connection with a newspaper. 1t is the
mirror that reflects the advance of civil!Za-
ton. which is simply the growth Of educa
ton,
THE educational journal is the kodak
that catches and preserves what is done
to-day for reproduction Tomorrow
WALTER WILLIAMS'S VIEWS
The country newspaper was compared by
Walter Williams, to the district school. TIE
school paper to the high school and the
daily to the university.
Mr.. Williams held that the country j1ur-
nal stood closer to the people than either
of the other two. 1T argues across the v l.
