HUcK FINN AND HIS TEACHING

In addition to its commendable significance Of ap-
probation Of the work Of a native Missouri writer,
the "Huck Finn Club" Of Columbia may rightly be
regarded as a benefcent sort Of organization, in that
it tends to promote a knowledge of how to live in the
open.
The members of the club, we are told, are required
to be ardent lovers Of nature. They must know how
to pitch a tent, how to choose the best available site
for camping, how to cook over an open fire. And
they must be ready, at short notice, to spend a day or
a week in the woods.
These qualifications are insisted upon In addition
to a familiar knowledge Of Mark Twain's story of
Huckleberry Finn and an ability to quote its quaint
phrases on occasion.
To become eligible for membership in the Huck
Finn Club, therefore, a young man or young woman
of Columbia must be quite ~healthily accomplished in
the arts Of the healthiest and most natural mode OF
living.
Good for the Huck Finn Club Humanity is re-
freshed and ennobled every time It goes back to ma
lures heart in the life primitive. The club Just or
ganized in Missouris university town deserves to be
Chased as a worthy feature of that towns educa-
tional advantages.

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR
PROFESSOR FLOODS SINGING.

IhOI ECCOh ILOCDS ClNOl-NU
When Professor Flood, teacher OF music, sang his
way to freedom in Judge Sideners court the other
day he furnished additional proof Of the potency of
sweet sounds to soothe not only the savage breast,
but the cold front of the law itself, bringing it to q
tender appreciation of the quality of mercy.
But the professor Of harmony proved even more
than this. Asked by the court to favor the com.
pany" with a song. he was wise enough to choose
genuine songs. He lifted his tenor voice in the ever
r%avishing strains Of Believe Ne, If All Those En-,
dearing Young Charms" and, for an encore, gave
"Then You'll Remember Me-" The shackIes were
struck from him, fguratively speaking, with the dy-
ing away of the last melodious note Of that almost
perfect song.
Now, suppose that Professor Flood, for his liberia
tion's sake, had chosen to bring down upon his hear
ers the awful storm Of the "Gotterdamerung" or the
"Nibelungenlied"-say with a weird shout or two
from the tempesttossed Flying Dutchman" and a
hot finish of the Brunhilde Call as the final shrek
OF his repertoire. What would have happened TO Pro-
fessOr Flood? Would he have been freed then and
there? No-the law would have had a real offender
IN It's grasp, and Judge Sidener would have made sure
that the punishment fit the crime.

LESSON

1t is customary for the orators who present the
diplomas TO the graduates of the colleges and uni
versities to draw lessons regarding the future.
Usually the successful graduate is reminded that his
work has just begun and that in truth, as well as in
name, the exercises mark the commencement OF life.
Every year notable expressions made by men dis
t~inguished in different caIings receive the attention
Of the observant public. Charles NJ. Schwab attract
cd notice when he pleaded for a more sensible ap-
probation of a university training, emphasizing his
belief by presenting one deserving student with ST.
600 10 pursue his researches.
OF all the notable addresses, none Is so encourag-
ing to the poor boy OF America rs the mute warning
issued by the faculty Of Yale University when it re-
fused n diploma to young Reginald Vanderbilt be-
cause he had been delinquent in two of his studies.
Though the class prophet had TESTED with Reginald's
prosperity and assured success, on the assumption
that the Vanderbilt millions were i~nvincible, the facul-
ty decreed otherwise. When the list of graduates
was published, his name did not appear.
If money could have secured a diploma for young
Vanderbilt there is no doubt that he would have re-
ceived a s~heepskin with his fellow-students. His lit
tie flyer" at Canfeld's demonstrated that he has
plenty of this worlds goods at his immediate dis
posal. lie is neither better nor worse than many Of
his boon companions.
The fact remained that he did not pass his ex-
aminations He has suffered n disappointment which
should be his making. 1t is reported that he will
spend the summer studying for the fall tests, hoping
at that time to make up all delinquencies. He will
try the efficacy of study instead Of supposed family
prestige. If this course is pursued with diligence, he
should be reasonably certain Of his diploma.
Diplomas are not the rich mans ~pIaything. To the
poor boy especially the testimony Of his teachers re-
garding the years spent in school is worth the strug-
gle. The skill gained in training is the weapon which
he uses in competition with those already equipped

EFFICIENCY REQUIRED.

Has the day of big guns passed? According to n
report recently issued by the British Government the
navy practice for 1901 j~ustifes the assertion that the
%structiOn of great cannon as far as size is concerned.
In classifying the gun tests. the naval board con-
sidered the 1G-lnch and the 13.5inch guns as of the
same calber. The mean hits per gun per minute
were one in six, or a trihe better than the mean for
the two preceding years. Reduction in caIlber was
invariably followed by increased accuracy.
OF all the large guns which were tested. the best
record was made by those of S-inch and 9.2-iuch
caliber, their record being IL per cent Of hits per min
ute. The naval experts generally agree that guns of
this size are the best for practical warfare. The new
German battleships viii carry no weapons heavier
than those of 9.5 caIfber. Though the weight Of the
projectile is 4 great deal less than that from n I2inch
gun, experts rightly assert that It is of more value
to cut holes through armor than through the air. the
greater accuracy Of the smaller guns being a con-
slderation which cannot be ignored.
In the battle of Santiago, the Pinch guns did lit
tie damage to the Spanish vessels. theoretically. the
12inch guns should have done most Of the execu-
ton, but, practically, the Finch guns of the Brooklyn
and even smaller weapons on other vessels riddIed
Cervera's ships. Smaller guns cannot smash with
the power of the larger cannon, but their greater
facility OF handling permits an accuracy which over
comes the disparity in weight.
With lighter guns, 4 larger number can be placed
on a ship. 1t is far better TO dismantle n ship than
to pierce the armOr, as modern battles are not fought

The business concerns are looking for young men
who are punctual.
Punctuality in a boy signifies something more
than being present when expected. No SLOUGH can
be depended upon 10 be punctual. Usually the boy
who makes n point of not being late At any engage
ment IS neat in appearance, truthful and industrious.
Yet there are men in every community who think
that the lack of punctuality IS natural. They ex-
pect 4 consideration totally out of proportion TO their
fault in failing TO observe the hour. Men who would
not think Of stealing money viii steal valuable time
by delaying appointments. Without punctuaiity,
they cannot claim immunity from 4 form OF theft
which IS as exaSperating as it is inexcusable.
If the Presidents son is punctual. he deserves a
reward. This quality will cover a multitude Of lesser
faults. In after life, he can be counted an inteSer in
affairs while others fall behind. The school which
inculcates promptucsS is doing good. II the Groton
institution has emphasized the Importance Of the

UNIVERSITY GRADUATES IN TRADE.

S-HA 80 GRADUATES IN lIAiL-
There IS a notable significance in the fact that
mercantile life heads the list Of voca;ions chosen by
the members Of the graduating class at Harvard Uni
versity this year, the Boston Herald taking rightful
occasion TO comment upon this fact in its bearing up
on American conditions of the present day.
The time was when the university man was very
rare in the world OF trade. The vast majority Of
graduates made choice OF the learned professions.
law, medicine and divinity. and 1t was but seldom
that any went voluntarily into business life.
Indeed. there was 4 sort OF apprehensve feeling
TO the effect that, unless 4 man contemplate entering
the professions, he would do wisely TO keep away
from the universities. Also. there was the counter
theory that 4 university education was wasted on the
mere tradesman.
Now, however. with mercantile life making n
greater intellectual demand upon its followers. and
with the leading universities INDUCING in more prac-
teal teaching, the situation is notably changed for the
better. The young business man is the more COM
pletely equipped by reason OF his college training.
The university that best trains young men for bust
ness as well as for the learned professions is the bet
ter university.
Recognition Of these truths is being offered in such
spectacles as that presented by the Harvard sraduat-
ing class of 1902, the majority Of whose members now
enter business life.

WORTH HoNoRING.

A son Of President Roosevelt has been attending
school in Groten. He received a prize at the annual
commencement exercises. The ~bestowing thereof has
aroused much comment, the boy being considered
lucky to have secured the memento and the faculty

dent.
All because It was the first time that such a prize
had been awarded. 1t was a testimonial to the fact
that young Roosevelt had been punctual throughout
the school year-more punctual than any of his fell

Without discussing the motives of the faculty in
giving this prize. there is good reason to hope that
other schools VIII follow the excellent example Of re-
warding punctuality. The boy who is always ION

Reports from China indicate that the foreign Pow
cS are again compelled TO contrast their own selfish
ness with the generosity Of the United States In deal
ing with the Chinese Government. Unless the allies
who captured Pekin and exacted indemnity for the
outragcs accept the position which mas been taken by
this country their attitude will only be another proof
Of the moral strength OF the United States.
Owing TO the different rates of exchange prevailing
at the time the protocol was signed and those now pre-
vaiing, the Chinese Government is sorely pressed to
meet the obligations imposed hy the agreement of
April l, 1891. The Taotai Of Shanghai hos notified
tie bankers commission having charge of the dis
bursement of the indemnity that the old rates OF ex-
change will be used by China in paying the install
ment due this month.
When China first asked this favor Of the Powers
the United States Government was the first to &C
cept. In doing so our Government explained that
there should be mercy toward the weak nation. Other
Governments having demurrcd and, to this date. re-
fused to join with this country in lending 4 helping
hand to the Chinese.
Small wonder that China regards the United States
as its best friend. During the Boxer troubles the
soldiers and diplomats from this country showed plain
ly that only justice was demanded. The indemnity
named by our Minister was sufficient TO cover only
actual losses. The property of the Chinese Govern
ment was protected by American soldiers. In the
present instance the Government has shown that IL
does not wish to make money out OF the Increased
value of the indemnity owing to a fuctuating rate of
exchange.
An appreciation of this attitude Of the United
States should do much to help American trade in the
far East. With the opening of the isthmian canal
and the increased facilities of the transcontinentaI
railway lines the exchange of commodities between
China and the United States should multiply. The
unselfsh diplomacy Of this country should prove the
best policy, from the viewpoint Of both the moralist
and the merchant.

A Chicago professor of literature says that Mary
Maclane is the real thing and that it took the Great
West and solitude to produce the genius. Solitude,
perhaps, but not the Great West. Mary could not
have been produced in any spot where knowledge
abounded, East or West. With a clever use Of words
not unusual in these days Of high schools and shoals
of books, she has written out an ignorant and foolish
little heart. When Mary reaches the charming age
OF so she will wonder how she could have been so
raw.
