VALUE OF THE A. B.

Time was when the College of Arts
and Science was the Mecca of all men
seeking University education. But
OF late the popular fancy seems to be
In favor of entering the professional
schools, Immediately upon graduation
from high school. Men preparing for
professional careers do not seem to ap-
preclate the fact that an academic edu-
cation will increase their earning ca
pacity one hundred per cent. They
think that the time spent in acquiring
an academic education is time foolishlv
spent. They are not aware of the fact
that if they want to be educated in
the real sense OF the word. this educa-
tion can only be acquired through the
College of Arts and Science. The ma
Jority OF men, candidates for profess
siOnal careers. do not know that the
most successful men in all walks of
life were men who had large supply
of general information secured only
through the College OF Arts and Sci
ence.
The Academic Department, besides
being able to impart general elucation.
teaches to think. Men trained to think
are becoming more in demand every
day. These men by virtue of their |
general education, are daily nrawing
higher salaries than men trained only |
in one subject.
The man who is graduated with the
degree of a. b. can 60 out into the
world with the knowledge that he has
a general education that will prove ben
eficiai to him i'll all walks of life.

attention. Since the creation of the
newspaper, however, men have come in
close touch with their fellows all over
the world, and though the Importance
of local matters has greatly diminished,
the broader view has made it possible
for men to grow .ad expand.
Mr.. Bonaparte goes on to show how
the newspaper can either be factor
in expressing public opinion or mold
ing it, or else it can be the tool of some
INSCRIPTIONS man or machine for selfish
ends. He deals at some length with
the responsibility of the newspaper. He
lays greatest stress upon the danger
of the newspaper selling its editorial
columns. In the other parts of the
paper, whatever is paid for is marked
Advertisement" If the editorial pages
are to be used to influence readers for
the benefit of a few, they should be
headed advertisement" that the read
nrs may know that they are reading
paid matter and not genuine editorial
opinion.

SCHOOL ARMY
IN AMERICA

The American army of school children
consists of not far from II million pu
pills in actual daily attendance. This i:
twO-thirds of the total enrolment anf
a little less than One-half of the totaI
number of American children and
youths between five and eighteen years
OF age Forty years ago 80 per cent
OF our total population were in the Sd
to Is years of age" group, which now
includes only % per cent This marks
the force of the race suicide" move
ment. Forty years ago 81 per cent of
the members of that group were on the
school lists, as compared with 20 per
cent at the present time.
In 1870 the average number of DAYS
OF school attendance for each pupil was
only IS. 1t has now reached log. In
1850 American pupils averaged four
years OF schooling using 200 DAYS as the
basis OF a school year. They now aver
age five and half years. In the states
of the North Atlantic division the aver
age Is seven years and in the North
Central division it is six and half
years. The states of the Western di-
vision show little longer term than
the states of the North Atlantic diyis-
ion. The South Atlantic and Soutb
Central divisions show an AVERAGE of
three and third years as comnared
with two years a quarter of a century
ago.
There are in this country about 26O.-
GOO schoolhouses, and the value of all
school property is about 500 million
dollars. The teachers army numbers
about 475,OOO. approximately one-quar-
ter males and three-quarters females.
The average salary of male teachers is
about s57 month and of female teach |
srs about a4. The total yearly expen-
iiture for educational purposes exceeds
300 million dollars. Including exnen.
iitures for private instruction. for mi.
'ersities, colleges and technoIopicaI
chools, normal schools, professional
chools, reform schools and schools for
he defective classes the sum is an.
'roximately 400 million dollars. Omit
ing these and including only what is
nown as public instruction, the animal
ost is about 1915 per capita and the
nnual expense about s27 pupil. Twen-
y per cent of the expenditure is for

BOOST ALL ACTIVITIES.

1t cannot be said of the students
of the University of Missouri that they
are not loyal and do not support the
football team. They do, earnestly and
enthusiastically. Season tickets to the
amount of more than $500 were sold
to the students alone. Students of this
University have been known to deny
themselves the necessities of life that
they might have the money to buy a
season football ticket. This spirit is
commendable, but why not be equally
as loyal in supporting all student ac-
tivities?
1t takes just as much time and abil-
ity for an athlete to make the basket
ball, the baseball or the track teams,
but none of these activities receive one
half of the support the Tigers are re-
ceiving-and deservedlv receiving-now.
Strange as it may seem, the Glee
Club, the student theatricals, and the
Intercollegiate debates often fail to pay
expenses. Why! Because the Univer-
sity OF Missouri students do not think
that their fellow students. who put
time and abilities in the brain work
are entitled to their support.
In many colleges these student ac-
tivities receive as much of the students
support ms any branch of athletics.
If the University of Missouri wishes to
take front rank in College spirit" it
will be necessary for its students to
boost all student activities.

THE POWER OF THE PRESS.

Attorney General Bonaparte, in an
article on Government by Public Opin-
ion,' which appeared in The Forum for
October, has given his opinion of the
newspaper. He first shows how the
coming OF the daily press has widened
mems vision. Before newspapers exist
ed, men knew of those beyond their
city or manor or canton only in a gen
eral way, and the things of local hap
pening received practically his entire

'MAGININ' THINGS.

And smiling, greet former foe?

IDRESIDENT GARFIELD'S reference
I in his inaugural address at vii
liams to a class of students against
whom the college should ''close the doors
promptly" is only one sign more OF
searching of heart, on this subject,
among academic authorities. How to
get rid of the student lOafer; how to
combat and destroy the notion that a
college is ''the best athletic club going;
how to make college life appear some
thing else than an annex to fashlOnaDie
society-in a word, how to make stu
dents study-that is the problem. Presi-
dent Hyde of BOwdOin dealt with it in
his talk to the incoming Freshmen. He
had some pungent words about the cur
rent maxim that "a gentleman's rank
in college is Co." or lower. The action
of the Yale faculty in cutting off the
weekend absences of loving
students is another indication that pres
idents and professors are waking to the
scandal. The dean of one of the fac
ulties at Harvard has said that the
most difficult question before that uni
versity is how to prevent students
from idling away their time without
work.
For two decades at least the Philis
tines have been invading our Eastern
colleges. The general increase in wealth |
and spread of luxurious habits, during |
that time, have bred species of hang |
ers -on-they cannot properly be called
our educational institu
tiOns, who are a disgrace to themselves
and the colleges that harbor them. We
do not mean the openly vicious. With
them, it is usually easy to deal sternly.
The students whom President Garfield
described are the elegant young gentle
men without intellectual ambition or
moral purpose; they dawdle away their
our years with no thought of getting
'ut of college anything but social amuse- {
nent and sort of gamblers excitement.
They live lavishly. They take an in
ense interest in athletics-as practiced i
y others-'supporting" the team in 4
xactly the spirit of the decadent young U
'oman noble patting the muscles of r
he gladiator whom he had backed to t
ill his man. They are the kind of f
len whom the new president of Will fl
ans characterized as ''thOse who loaf
ecause they choose to, and who do not d
ropose to change their occupation" A f
tile study, of course, is disagreeable @
