NEW YORK, Oct. S.-There were seri-
Gus and general declines IN stocks al
most Immediately after the opening of
the exchange. London was depressingly
weak and this was taken by the bears
on Wall Street ana by holders OF stock
who are in the habit OF getting scared
quickly, as an indication that the con-
cert of Europe was completely out of
pitch and liable to strike an inhar-
monious discord almost any minute.
That there could not be so many small
fires lighted without a serious conhagra-
ton. This belief seemed 10 prevail IN
the wheat pit at Chicago for there were
sharp advances in grain and provisions,
the commodities that would be in great
demand in the event of a European
conflagratiOn.
Immediately after the opening, which
was from Z to z OF a point lower, there
was fairly good rally that moved the
leading stocks reasonably close to the
final figures Of Wednesday.
This advance. however, was Of short
duration. London pressed sales. and
the room traders saw an opportunity
TO take the bear side for good gains,
and they sold right and left Timid
holders Joined their offerings to those
OF the speculative fraternity, and the
market slumped for declines Of 1 to 1sl
points, minor stocks sharing with the
leaders in the weakness. and the indus
trials holding better than the rails.
Lively Trading.
The market, up until midway in the
second hour Of the session, was very
active, all the leaders being traded In

Scientific Education.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Scientific education is becoming more
and more one of the most important
functions of university. The value
of university to scientific education
cannot he over estimated. Most of the
great scientific discoveries of the past
century have been made in the labora
tories of the universities. The import
ant place that scientific education holds
in the modern university is hest illus
trated by the great growth in the scien
tific schools as distinct parts of uni
vcrsity. Scientific education has be-
come necessary in all walks of life.
engineers must have scientific training
in fact science has practically revOlu-
tiOniZed some of the more common in
dIstries.-the allrOund farmer has be-
come the scientific dairyman. the scien-
tifc stock raiser. the scientific grain
grower: the blue -OveralIed engineer has
become the scientific machiniSt. the
scientific electricians: the coal miner has
become the scientific mining engineer:
the sturdy wood chopper has become
t he scientific forester. ami 81 on through
the entire list. Technical training along
these various lines always kads to
further development. for work in lab
oratory is sure to stimulate research.
In fact the great growth of the scienti
lie departments of the modern univer
,ity has become so important that there
is danger of over emphasis and danger
that the cultural and more broadening
.ourses will soon be neglected.
