Letter from Charley Williams.

ITHACA, n. V, September l90S-Edi
Of The PRESS: There has recently been
considerable discussion upon the subject
Of the Missouri State university. Many
reports have been current which seem to
me to be based upon misunderstanding.
| do not know just how much has been
said in Bollinger county, but | should
like to be permitted a few words on the
subject. In the beginning I shall frankly
admit that have been student at the
university and am one of its loyal sup
porters. Still, would not support it If
| thought it harmful to the interests of
the people CT the state of Missouri, of
which am loyal son.
The most common charge against the
university is that it has prospered at the
expense of the common schools. This
is certainly mistake. One-third Of the
total revenue of the state of Missouri is
devoted to the needs of public schools.
This is Il larger proportion Of revenue
than is given to the public schools in
any other state in the union. The uni
vcrsity, on the other hand, receives from
the state less amount in proportion to
wealth than does the university OF any
ncighboring state having a school of
similar high standing. Its entire in
come last year was, according to the
Worlds statistics, only S487 900; during
the same period the University of Ne
hraska received $3.50, 900, the University
OF Illinois $1,OO7, 900, the University OF
Michigan SLOTS, 600 and the University
Of Wisconsin 81, ,124,0 900.
With the single exception OF Illi-
nois, Missouri ranks above any OF the
states mentioned both in wealth and
population. The enrolment at the uni.
vcrsities named is larger than at ours,
but this is due in large part, it seems to
me, to the fact that their larger income
enables them to offer superior advan-
tages. In the case of Illinois the excess
is due chiefly to the medical school i'll
Chicago, which is self supporting.
Instead of being a detriment to the
common schools the university has been
Il distinct advantage. Probably no uni
versity in the country has done so much
to raise the standard of the high schools,
both in methods and in ideals, as has
the University of Missouri, as every
well-informed teacher knows. The high
schools, in turn, have had a beneficial in
fluence on the grade and rural schools.
In this work the university has been
greatly aided by the Teachers college,
and under the management of President
A. Ross Hill, formerly dean of that de-
partment, the same work may be ex-

realize what that means? Well, listen:
If, instead ofremaining quietly at home

HE'LL is TOO GOOD FOR THEM

A young lady, daughter OF re.
spected family of Nebraska, went to
Omaha to study music. She was es.
pecialy gifted and at once won her
way to the highest circles. She was
not rich in the things of this word,
and to assist in the prosecution of
her studies, she gave music lessons
In private families. This became
known In the "high circles" and she
was at once dropped from the visit
ing list and snubbed until she was
Obliged to leave her musical club
The humiliation and injustice worried
the poor girl until her reason was
dethroned and she died raving
against the cruelty that was shown
her. May be there isn't hell. Bob

A WISE DOG

Cumulating a competence.
After Towscr had made several
trips his master thought II was 10,
expensive 10 pay ear fare for him
and he put the poor fellow of one
morning aud told him he must stay
at home, Much 10 his surprise h.
found Towser waiting his arrival AT
the Vancouver Ferry. when he
returned home he took the dog on
the car with him. The next morn,
ing he again uied Ia leave the dog
AZ home. but when he reached the
ferry, Towser's Joyous bark was the
first thing that greeted him. and
that night when he came home he
lett Towsor at the ferry To see II he
would come home. When he arrived
at home ToWser was on the doorstep
to welcome him. Inquiry ascertained
that the dog when left by his master
selected route for himself and
beat the Vancouver car across the
Peninsula just about five minutes
every trip. and he has been making
the trip once each way daily since,
thus saving his master 10 cents car
fare and the two friends enjoy each
Others presence during the day.
The dog is a wise one II the story
is true aud II II isn't true Il is
