THE STUDENTS DUTY.

The student owes it to the Cniyer-
sity to attend classes when he is phys
ically able. Glasses are the business
engagements of the student and should
come before all other matters. by
complying with his duty he helps raise
the standard of scholarship more than
the average of attendance. 1t is the alb
normal individual who can cut half his
classes and cram enough in one night
to slip through his examinations.
The ou.: of the student is not to
knock. The University cannot exist
without the cooperation of the stu
dents A modern university founded on
the theories of the earliest universities
would be particularly lawless insti
tuition. If the students were to mi
CRATE when they didn't get holiday
that they had cried for. the university
would be no more stable now than it
was then.
The student owes it to the Univer-
sity to bring it glory in whatever line
that his capacities permit. The man
who can gain the Varsity record for
the high jump and won't Jump ought
to be excluded as an anti social indi-
vidual. The man who can make
speeches and won't debate. or the man

A Word With the Girls.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Why do the girls persist in sitting
in the Engineers section at Assembly :!
There are plenty of other seats for the
girls and the Engineers, naturally an
enterprising bunch, like to sit together
and yell. If we take their places they
either have to stand at the back of
their section or be scattered about in
spots over the auditorium. 1t would
be different if the girls had no place to
90. but they have and should make Use
of their own chairs.

When You Go Home.

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
How can the student help his Univer-
sity during the holidays? First. let
him return to his high school and min
gle with the pupils and teachers. How
many of us remember how vividly the
University was put before lis in our
Junior year by some student who had
been graduated year or two before!
There is nothing perhaps that makes
the high school student sit up and take
notice like one of those little speeches
which the returning student is so
heartily called upon to make before his
old assembly room. BY all means let
the student who has the interest of his
University and his high school at heart
return and do this i'm spirit Of sim
plicity and good will.
If the student comes from town.
there is no way much more effective
than to organize a glee club and sin" ii
few popular songs before his school.
If he is from the country. he may
well talk to at least two classes of his
friends. He can show the young man
ambitious for the professions the Uni
versity depth and breadth of training.
necessary to the highest attainment.
And he can get many young men to see
the serious value of training in the
Agricultural College. To do this he
need not be student in the College.
for his farm training and his knowledge
of scientific methods will enable him to
feel the need of better farming. and to
make others feel it. He ought to be
able to bring a number of young men
to the Short Winter Course. and a great
many more to visit the University dur
ing Farmers Week"
A small thing that should not be
overlooked when the students return
home is to have some notice of them in
the local papers.
Last and most important. the stu
dent should leave his hammer in Column
bia. When he goes home there are
thousand pairs of eyes watching him to
see the result Of college life upon him.
lie should by no word or act cause pco-
pie to get false impression of the re-
suit of University training. There will
be plenty of people looking for faults.
But it depends on him. whether he uses
the hammer himself. is to what other
people will say and think.

THE VALUE OF CHRISTMAS.

The chief value of the Christmas sea
son is as promoter of altruism over
looked to great extent during the rest
of the year. The spirit of giving per-
vades the atmosphere. This does not
include the swapping of presents that
takes place among so many women.
Nor is there any real material gain.
The actua! gifts are worth less to the
recipient than to the giver. A woman
sits up and sews bows i'm book mark
by the hour and when she finishes it the
thing is worth absolutely nothing
Yet she has given just so much of her
self, and she has put herself aside long
enough to consider her friend.
Christmas is valuable to teach chill
dren altruism. They learn to give
something of themselves too. The
child paints his mother picture of a
house which she receives As happily as
though he did not allow her glimpse
of it beforehand. There is usually
some poor child with whom he SHARES
a little of his Christmas stocking.
Often his is the duty to carry Christ
mas basket to the washerwOman's.
Thus the child in his own happiness is
taught to make Others happy.
II is at this time that the practical
business man who has had little time
for anything else but stock quotations
orders his clerk turkey or slips the
elevator boy fifty cents. Apparently
his wife has done the shopping for the
family but it is he who sends box of
cigars to retired preacher whom he
was instrumental i'm getting retired. or
leaves an order at the florists for his
old aunt. or sends five pound box of
candy to the telephone girl. 1t is the
time of all times i'm the year when he
allows himself the luxury OF giving.
not merely providing.
The good housemOther. too. finds
large field for her already active help
fulness. She buys stockings and nit
tens and doll to put in them and
gives with her heart Therein lies the
real value of Christmas-t giving
with the heart.

SPIRIT OF THE NEWS

Christmas trees for cats and dogs is
the very latest. Some of Cincinnati's
elite. who raise dogs and cats instead
of children, have decided that such a
thing will be quite as mice for the dear
pets" as for children. and that the dog
gies will appreciate it, too. That such
an idea ever entered the head of any
woman-nO matter how dog-crazy she
may be-secms almost beyond belief.
That dogs and cats should ever have
taken the place of little children in
any of our homes is so foreign to the
characteristic American ideal of the
duty and privilege which the home en-
joys that most people have never been
able to extend the sympathy and char
ity toward the poor deluded fools, who
have taken up with dogs to which their
mental condition perhaps entities them.
But no one can help feeling sorry for
them now. A Santa Claus for dOggie.
Will he be IA brother dog or brother
fool?
1t is ridiculous. That Christmas
the celebration of Christ's birth and of
the birth of the highest and nOblest
inspirations man has ever habitat it
can ever become festival for dogs is
impossible. And the attempt of few
idiotic rich people to make it such
only serves as contrast to the way all
sane people and especially the sane
rich hold it. Year after year, Christ
mas takes on more of the spirit of
tue brotherly love. More thoroughly,
as time goes on. the needy are sought
out and their wants alleviated. The
great spirit of disinterested affection,
that brings comfort and Christmas
cheer to so many. has become effective
only in recent years. And this Christ
mas. through the Salvation Army and
similar organizations. through the sys-
tcmatic efforts of the leaders of bust
ness. of the church and of the press,
more people will know the joy of the
day and the joy of living than ever
before. And the Christmas trees for
the dogs! Let the poor. misguided
women have their way. They are be-
yond hope and there is going to be a
great big Christmas anyway.

J. c. Martin has just published some
correspondence between himself and
President Roosevelt. The point of ar
gument has been as to President elect
Taft's religion or religious beliefs. The
president takes the stand that mans
religion is his own and concerns no one
else. Mr.. Martin believes that while
that is true of the private citizen. it
does not hold with reference to man
in public Office. especially to man
who is soon to be president. 1t seems
that the president has little the bet
ter of the argument. at least he has
a little more of the American spirit OF
separation of state and church to help
him out. 1t would be interesting to
know just what the trend of opinion
on the subject is. If we may take the
results of the recent election as a basis,
we may conclude that President Roose-
welt is on the more popular side. Can
didate Taft had much the more unpop-
uiar end of the religious question. but
his vote did not seem to he affected
by it. though some effort was made to
make it an issue. The American peO-
pie seem to be so alienated from the
idea that the church has or should have
to do with the state that they
do not even consider the question.
