By All Means, Let's Encourage.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Business men are rapidly being edu-
Gated to the fact that if they want the
best service from their employees oc-
casional encouragement is necessary, EN-
ployers having found that to a certain
extent all human beings are vain, and
that if their vanity is not humored
they become careless and will sulk about
their work.
The same rule holds true i'm every
line. If teacher will encourage boy
by telling him his recitation is good.
that boy will have an incentive and will
continue to have good recitations. If,
however, the teacher discourages the
boy, he will quit trying to please his
teacher.
Encourage a man and he will put his
whole soul into his work and the results
will show the effect of the encOura cement,
but discourage him and he will lose all
interest in his work and the result will
be that he will soon give up the job.
1t costs nothing to encourage per-
son and if encouragement will bring out
his best efforts, why not encourage him!
Be an optimist, not a pessimist.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1908-10-08

whenever in doubt about the meaning,
pronunciation, or use of word. Merely
being told, by another, the meaning
use. or pronunciation of the word in
question will not fasten it in mind like
looking it up in the dictionary for your
self. 1t is the kind of research-work,
investigating, or excursion that helps.
If individuals are creatures OF habit,
the time to form desirable ones is
during the plastic period of life. 1t is
not sufficient to make occasional re-
ferences to the dictionary, but frequent
recourse to such valuable collection
of information will prove to be OF ines
Unable value to the individual.
The dictionary is a ready friend, a
willing servant and a reliable source to
every one who will take it into their
council. In this hurly burly wOrkday
world, all are prone to leave unculti-
waited so profitable a companion as this.
In the University Missourian office Web
ster's International Dictionary IS the
standard.

WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN {?

4 gentleman is cOmpaniOnable man
of culture and selfrespect. Nature in
tends that men associate with their fell
lows and he who does so to the delight
of his companions is the natural man.
A gentleman is respectful to women and
children, he is cOnsiderate of both old
and young. His self-respect commands
the respect of others.
A gentleman's mind is reasonably well
cupltivated; he knows something OF lit
erature, history and art. He can con-
verse intelligently on the topics of the
dav and make himself agreeable to his
surroundings.
A gentleman has ease and grace that
come through training. He practices
the usages of wholesome society and fol-
lows. in some measure, the dictates of
fashion.
He is truthful, vet able to tell harm
less lie; he is honest, yet able to dis
semble: he is brave but never overbear-
ing; he is strong but very gentle: he
is good hater and an ardent lover.
He studies to please; he makes people
feel good; he seems never to notice
their defects. He has a smile for his
acquaintance and pleasant greeting
for ALL Excepting a lady, a gentleman
is the chief assent of any community.

THE DICTIONARY HABIT.

Pure diction is one thing that denotes
a cultivated person. The proper selee-
tion of words i'm the expression o.
thought comes only through years OF
careful training. A clear conception
of the meaning of words used is essen
tial to the proper expression of ideas
in the mind of the speaker.
To acquire the correct use of words
with their varied meanings, there is no
more powerful aid than the right use
of the dictionary. In the preparation
for a useful career, there is perhaps
no one accomplishment more helpful
than the dictionary habit. 1t is pow
erful aid in self education and far-reach-
ing in its effects.
The dictionary should be consulted

IMPROVING Farm LIFE.

There would be more happiness on the
farm if the present conditions were
changed by an introduction of scientific
common sense methods. Rock roads,
constructed by convicts or otherwise
should be extended from all towns for
about three miles in every direction.
The other roads should be well graded
and sprinkled with crude oil to prevent
dust and mud.
If the farms were smaller and the
very best of seed and fertilizers used.
the farmer would make far more money
and have more time to spare than at
present. There would then he time
enough for him to have garden with
sufficient variety of vegetables to make
him wonder Just what he will have for
dinner.
The working hours should be shorten
ed A good rule would be to begin
Harvesting up at seven in the morning
and have the horses embarrassed by six
in the evening. If one takes a two
hour rest at noon. he will still have
nine good hard working hours each day
OF course the two or three extra hours
doing chores are not counted as work.
1t would add to the pleasures of farm
life if circulating library were placed
in each schoolhouse in charge of the
"schoolma am" 1t wouldn't hurt to eN-
change the Life of Alexander and the
"Works of Josephus' for such romanrlc
novels as The Virginian,' THE Crisis
etc Good magazines should be on hand.
Telephones have done much to pro-
mote sociability among the old people.
But it is discouraging for a fellow to talR
to his girl while every one along the
line is listening. 1t would be better
for the old folk to visit over the phone
and the young people in person.
Last, but not least, arises the ques-
tion of taking vacations. Everyone
should take vacations in the slack"
periods of August and December. In the
summer it would be best to 90 as far
away as money and time will permit.
In the winter it would be a good plan
to visit some large city and visit the
theaters, mingle with the Christians
shopping crowd and have good time.

ABOUT SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM

THE plan which Mr.. Pulitzer of the
New York World outlined when he
founded a college of journalism at
Columbia University in New York, has
been adopted as the basis for similar
school in Missouri, at the University at
Columbia. which is to specialize in Eng
lish, economics, sociology, political sci
ence and the ordinary branches taught in
the academic course. In connection with
lectures, a daily newspaper is issued.
It has a telegraph service, and the stu
dents do actual work in reporting and
copy reading. At the end of four years,
if the work has been sufficiently meritO-
ricus to entitle the students to gradu
alton, the degree of bachelor of science
of journalism will be conferred, and
the new reporters may properly style
themselves professional men.
Theoretically, the college idea is a
very good one, but it remains to be
seen how favorably the work of the new
reporter, who is sent forth, sheepskin in
hand. will compare with the copy of an
other who was raised on printers ink.
One may surpass in book learning.
the other in his knowledge of human ma
ture; it takes both to be a good jour-
nalist.
Ultimately, if both are blessed with
like talents and are fired with the same
ambition they. will arrive at the same
goal.
Ben. Franklin, compositor, author,
philosopher. diplomatist and statesman.
had no college degree when he secretly
wrote pieces for his brothers paper, the
New England Courant, and although
he was lectured for his presumption and
treated with extreme harshness, he per-
sisted in his chosen field, rewriting with
much pains and labor the ESSAYS of Ad-
olson and Steele to improve his style
until he became the foremost editor of
America.
Horace Greeley, poor farmers boy.
also received at the compositor's case
the inspiration of his illustrious career
A scientific course in journalism no doubt
will be of great advantage to the young
man who chooses such career. but it is
the hard routine of actual service which
will determine his fitness and his abil-
ity to earn a living.

more idea of the cryptic meaning of

4 IHEN a person criticises adversely

tion he runs the risk of being
called ''knocker" and of going down Is
unprogressive.
A school of journalism is something
new in the list of professional schools
Heretofore it has been considered i'm
possible to turn out newspaper men from
the schools. The newspaper man was
considered made only by an apprentice

when the lawyer and the doctor got
his training from the office of some law

There were knockers against the pro-
fesSional medical and law schools.
If schools of law and medicine and
divinity. why not schools of Journalism
What what must be taught the first
thing is that the finished product cannot
be turned out from the schools. What
ever professional school the young man
attends the first thing to get into his
head is that the school can never turn
out the finished product.
Whenever the student gets it into

sional school will make him a lawyer
doctor as the case may be, then his
career is handicapped at the start. The
school that teaches this is doomed to

POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

For the first time in the history of
Missouri the names of Senatorial candi
dates will appear next November on the
ballots cast in a general election. This
isn't popular election of senators. 1t
is merely accomplishing the same end
by an ingenious plan which in no way
oversteps the bounds of state author
ity. The last session of the Legisla-
ture provided that the names of all legal
party candidates for Senator should ap-
pear on the party ballot. Every voter
is permitted to vote for one of the can
didates of his party. Each member of
the Legislature is required to vote for
the candidate of his party who receives
the highest number of votes.
In Oregon there is a law which goes
step farther. That law requires that
every member of the State Legislature.
regardless of his party affiliations, shall
vote for the Senatorial candidate who
has received the highest number of votes
in the popular election. Under this pro-
vision peculiar situation arose re-
Gently. The ma jority in the Legisla-
ture were republicans but the senatorial
candidate who received the largest num-
ber of popular votes was democrat.
Such laws existing in several states
and being talked of and considered in
most of the others show the growing
tendency we could almost say the
grown tendency-towards a direct vote
OF the people for Senator.
