Support Makes for Spirit.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
In an article in the Daily Nebraskan
by r. G. Clapp of the Athletic Depart
ment of the University of Nebraska.
the University of Missouri is classed
below all of the schools in the Missouri
Valley Conference. in the matter of
college spirit The writer attributes
this to the lack of cooperation on the
part of the students and the athletic
management The trouble with Mis-
souri, is that it has failed to learn how
to support a losing team. When the
Tigers win victory then the students
display college spirit. but when the
team loses game. everybody starts
out to knock the team and the coaches
in general. College spirit is not so
much in boosting a winning team as it
is in supporting losing team. If
Missouri is ever to have what Is real
college spirit. her students must learn
to support losing team. l.. Il. $.

The chief duty of the student j. to do
his daily work to the hest of his ability.
He should attend all the classes and
pay careful attention to the lecture or
recitation. In this way. the standard
of good received from the studies would
be raised. more work would br accom-
plished. and the professors seeing the
students desire for learning" would be
come more enthusiastic i'm their teach
ing.
His second duty is to attend assem-
blies and mass meetings. At the former
he will receive advice from experienced
men. instructions from famous elIca-
tors. entertainment from musical clubs
At the latter he will obtain a better
opinion of the student body and become

harm.
The student should keep the high
school students back home impressed

tiOn. He should send letters to. his
friends and his home paper describing
those events which will bring JOY to the
lovers of entertainment and at the same
time not seem silly to hard headed,
practical money grabbers. The student
should refrain from getting into fights
or disputes which will be heralded over
the state to the deteriment of the Uni
versity's good name. When he goes
home. he should act like gentlemen
and yet not be so important As to fail
to know those who have played games
with him on the school ground in
earlier life
Last of all he should boost all stu
dent enterprises which are free from
graft. and refuse to knock on any team
which is doing its level best.

be gone over thoroughly, but the pre-
vailing sentiment is that they will not
be changed in any material way. Here
and there, where there are loop holes for
frauds, there may be some changes to
the existing law; in some cases there
may be a moderate increase in rates;
in others slight reduction when it can
be done without imperiling any indus
try.
There will be no extensive horizontal
reduction in rates of duty on any tex
tile fabrics or raw material, probably.
1t is quite likely that there may be
some increases. One thing seems certain.
that the wool growers and manufactur-
ers will stand by each other in opposi-
tion to any material reduction in duties

THE GREATEST NEED.

What is the most important thing t'

life and why! Judging from the good
that it has already done so far as il
has been instituted a scientific or pro.

better than any other. one thing can
do.
Primarily, it will result in an in

is as much better off than the unedu-
Gated one as the educated lawyer or
doctor is in a better way to succeed
than the uneducated one. There have.
of course. been successful farmers who
never saw the inside of a school build
ing Just as there have been successful
lawyers who never attended law school.
But the farms are few indeed and are
becoming fewer where boy can get
scientific agricultural education.
The school only can give him that syste-
matte knowledge which will enable him
to make the best use of soil. climate.

agencies to a farmers work.
But besides having a monetary ad-

wide discussion, and application in

Des Moines commission plans, but evi-
IDENTIFY Staunton is able to reach the
same end by the very simple device
it has employed.
If legal obstacles are not present.
any American city may initiate Staun-
ton without changing its form of gov
ernment, or depriving the voters of
their political control of the local adj
ministration. The Virginia city had
city council and mayor wise enough
and free enough from political obliga-
tiOns to undertake the experiment, and
undoubtedly the mass of the citizens
we're public spirited enough to support
the councils policy. No more is need
ed anywhere than the right sort of pub
lie opinion to give a city the best
municipal administration attainable.
Forms Of government will adjust them
selves to the end desired if only the
people demand what is best.-Spring-

MUNICIPAL
EXPERIMENT

IT ROM down Virginia way come in
II teresting reports of a municipal
experiment that consists in plac-
ing the business affairs of a city under
business manager. StauntOn, Vir-
ginia city of some 1000 inhabitants,
has not tried the commission plan of
government, but it has found relief in
another direction. The old form of
administration. embodied in a mayor
and city council chosen by the voters,
has been left undisturbed, but those
officials. who are politically responsible
to self-gOverning community, have
elected a business manager to whom
they have turned over all the purely
business functions of the city govern
ment. In his relations to the city
council, the business manager stands
somewhat in the same relation that the
general manager of large corporation
does to the board of directors.
In StauntOn's case. the manager is
elected for year. He presents a re-
port every three months and he is per-
mitted to suggest new legislation along
the lines where he is active In making
contracts for all municipal work and in
the buying of city supplies, he is given
free hand, and the results are already
highly satisfactory. The experiment
began last April, and the manager has
shown himself so efficient that his re-
election for a second term has been
determined upon. The Washington
Herald, to which We are indebted for
information, says: For one thing, he
was able to place contracts for granO-
lithic paving at IL cents a square yard
instead of the 81 the council was pay
ing prior to his appointment And
there were other matters in the dis
pOsal of which Staunton's business
manager has been able to save money
for the taxpayers.
Staunton could not help saving mon
ey by such an arrangement. if the bust
ness manager was honest and capable |
and the city council protected him from
the politicians. Any city could save
money by the barrel in doing the same
thing. The idea may not be new, for
many municipal reformers have pointed
out again and again how extravaganza
and waste in city administration could
be prevented by giving municipalities
{ he benefit of close and careful manage
ment in their purely business affairs.
The desire for reform has led to the
