ABOUT SCHOOLS
OF JOURNALISM
THE new school of journalism estab-
lished in the Missouri State Uni

THE new school of journalism estab-
lished in the Missouri State Uni
versity at Columbia has already at
tracted a good deal of attention, and the
prospectus just issued by the University
seems to indicate that it will be con-
Quoted in broader and more thorough
fashion than other ventures of the same
sort. There is room for difference of
opinion as to whether the intending jour
nalist should receive a special education
or follow the ordinary liberal curricu-
lum, trusting to actual experience for
such special knowledge as is required;
much may be said on both sides. But if
course in journalism is worth while at
all, it is such broad and educational
course as is here marked out. The rOu-
tine of a newspaper Office is not difficult
to acquire, and writing is quite as much
a gift as an accomplishment. The things
newspaper man can profitably know. too,
are so innumerable that no college course
could include them all. Yet in more
restricted way there is body of knowl-
edge which is of paramount value in a
newspaper office, and which an ordinary |
college education gives in part and in
part misses. Broadly speaking, journal
ism as a field for intellectual effort has
always meant one of two things. 1t has
meant politics or it has meant litera-
ture and the arts.
On the literary and artistic side little
that is worth while can be offered by spe-
cal courses; the ordinary training of a
cultivated person is best On the polit
cal side the case is rather different. and
it is possible to select and bring together
hose studies in history. economics.
finance, etc, which are most useful in !.
lealing with contemporary life. and
which are not apt in a college course to
'e taken up in a thorough and syste-
matte way. The prospectus shows that
his high ideal has been carried out, and
he college of Journalism is made coordi-
ate with the colleges of law, medicine.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AS GREAT EDUCATOR.
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Station.
Founded and Maintained Under Acts Of
Congress-History of the Movement

The American Colleges of Agricultur
and Mechanic Arts. founded by act o
Congress in 1862. with their sisters of in
quiring turn of mind, the Agricultural
Experiment Stations. Established ant
endowed by act of Congress in 1887, con
stitutes the latest but not the only
claim for the leadership OF the federal
government in education.
In 1887, the Continental Congress,
shortly before it passed away, adopted
an ordinance for the government of the
| Northwest Territory. now the state OF
Ohio, Michigan. Indiana. Illinois. and
Wisconsin. The ordinance contained. in
article iii. this noteworthy sentence:
Religion, morality and knowledge be-
ing necessary to good government and
the happiness of mankind, schools and
the means of education shall be for
ever encouraged" Two years later this
ordinance was amended and re-enacted
by the First Congress of the United
States.
Almost Immediately thereafter the
federal government made Il contract with
the Ohio company by which large
territory in Ohio should be opened to
settlement upon certain conditions. One
of those conditions was the the sixteenth
section in each township should be re-
served for the public schools and that
two entire townships. each consisting
pf thirty-siX sections. should be re-
served for the endowment OF Semi
nary of Learning meaning thereby a
seminary of higher learning or what has |
become a State University. The same
conditions laid upon these early settlers
II Ohio were imposed by the federal gov
rnment upon every state carved from
he Northwest Territory. upon every
tate formed from the Louisiana Pur-
hase Territory and every other state
Oming into the federal union save only
'eXas and West Virginia. From the
ay when George Washington signed the
e-enacted ordinance for the Northwest
'erritOry to the federal government has l.
lid this educational obligation upon l,
very state. save two desiring admis-
ION and every state save two has by :.
plemn public act accepted the cond-
on. Thus did the federal government =.
ad in behalf of elementary and higher
lucatiOn.

Original Morrill, Act.

| In the year 1853. Congress passed a
bill introduced by United States Senator
Justin 5. Morrill, of Vermont. estab-
fishing agricultural colleges. This bill
was vetoed bv President James Buc-
hanan. In 1862 the same bill i'm slightly
modified form was introduced by Sena-
tor Morrill,. passed again both houses
of Congress and. being signed by Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln. became law.
But this bill. usually known from its
author as the Morrill, Act. 10000 acres
of land were offered to each state flor
each representative and senator that it
had when the act was passed) certain
conditions being prescribed to which
the state had to conform in order to
inherit the land endowment.

What a Missourian Did.

In 1887. Just one hundred years after
Congress. by what is known as the
Hatch Act. established an Agricultural
Experiment Station in each state and
territory and endowed each with $1,000
annually. Two new features were in
troduced by the Hatch Act The original
federal grants on which rest the State
Universities west of the Allegheny
Mountains were grants of land and when
each territory had bound itself to com
ply with the conditions imposed by the
federal government the gift became ire
vOcable
The same was true of the land grant
in the Morrill, Act of 1862 But the
Hatch Act gave grants of money to be
by Congress at each re-
curing session. Moreover. while the
Northwest Ordinance and its SUCCESSORS.
and the Morrill, Act provided for public

Act provided for scientific research and

"Husks" Are Still Used az Food Along
the Mediterranean.

Are the 'husks" OF the parable Of
the prodigal son still extant In the
countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean? Consul General Ravndal,
writing from Beirut, says that they
are. and that they are now called
'carobs" or locust beans" He con-
tinues: Arabs and Moors eat them.
In the south of Europe they are en-
ployed as food for horses, cattle and
swine. The total yield In Cyprus Of
carobs or locust beans (not to be con-
founded with st. Johns) in 1906
amounted to $1,000 tons.
"On account of the abundant sugar
contained In carobs the latter form a
nutritious and fattening food for
horses and cattle. am informed that
considerable quantity of this cattle
food 10 exported from Great Britain
to the United States.

FIVE YEARS
REIGN OF
POPE Plus

Rome, Aug. Pope Plus X. today
completed the fifth year Of his reign
as the head of the Roman Catholic
church and the day was marked with
universal rejoicing throughout Rome
and Italy. AT the vatican the ami
yersary was observed with great
solemnity. His Holiness received
the college of cardinals In collec-
tive audience. the dean reading an
address Of congratulation in which
he wished the pcpe many more
years of pontificate. Greetings we're
also extended by the several colleges
of prelates and all the military and
lay officials of the vatican. Many
European sovereigus also expressed.
through their representatives, their
best wishes and sent handsome gifts.
Thousands of prominent cLurchmen
and laymen from all over the world
are in Rome, including Cardinal Glib
bons of Baltimore, to take part in
the celebration of the golden jubilee
of the popes ordination to the priest
hood. and participated in today's OBJ
servances.
mi RI at,.tu ~
nice, was raised to the supreme pom.
titicate of tho church on August A,
1908, the coronation taking place ut
the vaticaL five days later. The
anniversary of the latter event will
also be made the occasion for the
felicitation of His Holiness The
five years of his reign, completed
today, have been highly successful.
Plus X. is just as affable today as
he was on August five years ago,
when he was suddenly r,ised from
the common place duties of provin-
cial bishop to those of the highest
office in the church. The dignity of
his position. the pomp and splendor
of his surroundings. the veneration of
all the faithful and the. automatic
regime of the church itself never
spoiled the practical mind of the new
pontiff.
Plus X has found his path beset
with difficulties of all sorts. Tho war
against tho religious orders in France
and later on, his personal conten-
tions with the French officials. which
led to the suspension of dipl ouatic
relations between the French gov.
ernment and the Holy See aud to the
separation of church and state have
created for the present pope new
situation which. no matter how un-
expected and unusual, he is going to
face with an eye to the best interests
of the church in France.

THREE CONCRETE ARCH
BRIDGES FOR FLORENCE

Tho washing out of the wooden city
and county bridges on Oak and Sand
creeks by Friday evenings high
water. means that Florence will get
three concrete arch bridges to take
their place. The street. bridge and
alley committee Of the city council
met in Canon yesterday afternoon
with the county commissioners. and
1t was there decided that concrete
arches be built over Oak creek on
Second and Third streets.
The work will not be started at
once. because there Is some changes
on the original plans of the Second
street structure. Bids will be re- -ad :
vertised and In about ten days the
commissioners and city will be in a
position to talk business. Instead of
building the bridges jointly, it was
decided that since they are to be of
the same size. that the county build
the Second street bridge and the city
the Third street one. The county
will fill the approaches on the west
east side. This arrangement makes
1t so that the city and county will
each spend about the same amount of
money.
Each bridge will have IA twenty
foot driveway, n forty foot span and
he sixteen feet high from the bottom
of the creek. The city yesterday had
men and scrapers at work x rading a
temporary road in Oak creek so that
that section of the city west of thers
will no longer be isolated from
the business section. The grade
runs from the Rio Grande bridge
from the east bank to the western
approach of the old Second street
bridge. Since the grade is not
permanent, and the dirt still soft,
a real heavy load can not be taken
across the creek yet
The city council announces that It
will in all probability replace the
East Fifth street bridge over Sand
creek with concrete arch. This is
the present intention, but bids will
be advertised in this case also, so the
work will not be started forthwith.
The iron frame work under the East
Second street bridge will be removed
without delay and concrete will take
the place of the present wooden deck.
1t WAS this frame work that caused
the creek to overflow and II did not
hang so deep the opening under the
bridge would have been nearly large
enough to permit the big rush of
water to entirely pass through
There might have been small over
flow.
The bridge will be practically re.
built. and while the work is being
the street will be closed
to travel. The west cement wall
extends in under the bridge too
far Oh the south end. The concrete
will be torn out and set further
back. The opening on this end of
the bridge is only twenty four feet
while on the opposite end it is
thirty-six feet. The two ends will
be made to correspond
The flood will give employm ent TO
nearly every idle man in the city as
the bridge work will not be permitted
to lapse once it is started. The
Union Ditch company is hiring men
and several men have been given
work carrying water from the flooded
cellars and cleaning the muddy
lawns.
