About That English Department.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
The quarterly insult to students of
first year English was paid by the Eng
lish department Saturday morning. 1t
was the mid semester quiz given in the
auditorium from nine to eleven. With
out exception it is the best illustration
in this university of we'll established
dishonor system of examinations. Every
one taking the exam is implicitly con-
sidered dishonest. The auditorium is
pervaded throughout the quiz with an
air of distrust and suspicion. The crimi-
mails are herded into certain assigned
sections. arranged at definite measured
distances from each other, and are
guarded over by large special police
force. The guards are all mute. Vocal
utteranee is also prohibited to those
criminaly inclined students. English
Departmental law is unrolled in long red
strips at all the sectional meetings the
day before these two hours of ATTEMPTED
crimes
If the English department does really
establish the lock step and the rifle guard
over the quarterly exam" there will be
no further need of honor codes in "Old
MissOu." All our moral errors can be
checked up to inefficient surveillance.
There will be no stimulation to do the
square thing. Every opportunity to
commit crime can be eagerly embraced.
Success to the Powers that be. H. S.

One For The New Department.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
| want to congratulate the Depart
ment of Journalism on the enterprise
displayed in issuing the foot ball extra
Saturday. No such feat was ever be-
fore accomplished in any small city in
the west, and doubt very much whether
it was ever surpassed by metropolitan
journal. The new department is GER
tainly possessed of a goodly share Of
the show me spirit and are not stingy in
giving ocular demonstration of it. This
is the kind of enterprise that makes
cities out of whistling stations and
makes Father Time hustle to keep up
with the procession. Keep it up.

THE MISSOURI AGAIN.

The Missouri is not to be left out of
the deep-waterways plan.
Now that the general government and
the State of Illinois are setting the
Lakes-to-Gulf Canal movement on foot,
there is an inclination in some quarters
to forget that the Missouri will have
to be improved in some measure at the
same time. Men are so wrapped up in
the Mississippi that the Missouri has a
chance of getting only half its proper
share of attention.
A circumstance that adds greatly to
this danger is that all over the United
States, claims are coming forward that
the Government ought to improve this
or that river or dig this or that Canal.
Among these schemes, at present Wis
ionary, are a canal to connect the At
lantic Ocean with the Mississippi and
souri,; hence, canal from Ocean to
Ocean across the United States. These
are only few of many projects which
remind one of the canal fever of the
thirties. But all this booming will
do the real cause no good. unless it is to
arouse better public spirit.
Besides those who say out of a selfish
spirit that the Missouri should be let
alone as yet. there are great number
who honestly think that the inland
waterway undertaking is so vast that it +
should be taken up pieeemeal, for fear of
failure. They fail to take into account
some weighty facts in favor of the Mis-
souri,.
Its commercial value as a waterway
cannot be controverted. The Commercial
Clubs of Kansas City and other towns
realize this and are making strong
fight for it. The people of the State
are able and willing to pay their part.
Canals have paid in much poorer com
mnnities, and the owners of the lands
between the bluffs could afford to make
the outlay for themselves Every year
or two it is the same story of crops
drowned out and cattle lost. But the |
people of the state are proud of this |
broad highway to be. and are only await
ing chance to show what they can do. |
When. in addition. it is considered that |
great sums must be spent on the Mis-
souri, to protect the improved Mississ-
ippi. why not for not too greatly in
creased outlay. improve the Missouri as
the Mississippi?
With the two rivers improved for sea-
going vessels. Missouri would become
by far the richest state west of the Miss
issippi. Already ranking high in Agri-
culture and manufacture. she would by
virtue of her resources and cheap trans
portation. double her wealth in twenty
five years.

DON'TS FOR MOTHERS.

Don't keep nagging your boy.
Don't treat your boy as hardened
criminal if you discover him in sin.
Don't forget that if yon make the
boy think he is going to the bad he
won't be apt to disappoint you.
Don't forget that by treating your
boy like a gentleman you will do
much to make him one.
Don't make his room a sort of Junk
shop" for all the odds and ends Of
furniture too shabby or old fashioned
to be used any where else in the house.
Don't be above apologizing to your
own boy if occasion demands it. He
will honor you and love You dearer
for having done so.
Don't neglect to win his confidence
and hold it no matter what occurs. A
mother who has her boys confidence
can be sure that he will not wander
far from the right road.
Don't have a thing in the house too
good for him to share and enjoy with
You.
Don't shut him out of all the con-
fdential home talks, but let his share
it with you and he will respect your
confidence.
Don't adorn sisters room more than
his, but make them equals in this,
and all other things.
