CHEAPER FOR GIRLS HERE.

Can a girl who has little money get
along at the University Of Missouri! :!
Could she even afford to live at Read
hall? Facts indicate that she can and
does.
In comparing Missouri with the va
riou- Eastern colleges tor women. en-
pen-e> at Missouri diminish into com
narrative inSigniiicance. Board ranges
from $3.50 "A week to $3.50 week. and
a room costs from So to ST Il month.
A girl can live in Read hall for 5000 a
wear. while board and tuition at Vas
sar and Bryn Mawr i $500 for the
same grad" of room. The girl at eth
or place who spends 800 for her total
living expenses can live at the same
all the rooms and tuition are at Il uni
form price Of $50 a year. but girl
who does not work her way through
cannot live for less than 800 at Wei
lesley. This is due Ia the large per-
centage of girls from rich families in
these Eastern schools. More expensive
clothes are worn there than in the
Western schools. 1t is not uncommon
for Il girl to pay $40 for a separate
skirt to wear with >hirtwaiStS. One
"irl'S flower bill at NasSar was $50 Il
month. The class and society dues are
higher and the entertainments are more
elaborate at these Eastern colleges.
Many girls keep their own horses or
automobiles there. while at Missouri no
student has these luNllrics.
Most of the students here come from
small towns. 1t i only lately that the
University of Missouri has begun to
draw girls from the larger cities of the
state Taking the members of Read
hall aS an average set of University
girls. il can he shown that few if any
come from rich families. Two members
are self supporting and three Others
support themselves in part. Four girls
are the daughters of teachers and seven
girls fathers are merchants in small
towns except in one instance. Four are
daughters OF real estate dealers. one is
the daughter of Il printer. one OF a doe
tor. two of >torkmcn. one of a lawyer.
one nf banker. one "f a miller. one of
photographer. one of a contractor. one
ri a county clerk. one of a hotel pr"prie-
tor in small town. Two are the
daughters of ministers and four are the
daughters of widows.
1t j. the boast of Bryn Mawr that no
girl has ever left there for lack of mon
cy. At Bryn Mawr are many under
graduate scholarships. AMI many are
given opportunities for making their
own living. At Missouri there are
twenty girls working their way through
school. Laboratory work. stenographc
work. millinery manicuring library
work. and hou>cwork seem to be the
only fields open at the present time.
Girls are eligible I" all scholarships here
and there are few loan funds which
they may secure.

gu was sllenced when all that was
mc IL Of the Rev. John Bannister
IA the blind poet-priest, was laid
To II. Early il life one Of the
rnc i daring blockade runners Of the
Southern Confederacy, he died d sol
der of TIE Prince Of Peace.
al ON d humble teacher Of music
ii d parochial school he became a

verses known wherever the English
language ID spoken. Belonging to d
family If Virginia aristocrats and
Episcopalians. be left his State and
church to become : Catholic priest.
Although stricken blind, he never
lost his courage and continued to be
an inimitabIe wit and punster, even
1t his own affection.
Father Tabb was an i~nveterats
punster. Many Of his students as
aert that each morning he arose with
#@#NEA
an entirely new group Of witticisms
and humorous oddities that left goals
Of laughter IN his wake. His brill
liant flashes left neither cut nor
sting, and be was known to feel but
two animosities. He was never rec
onciled to the defeat of the Southern
cause-he called himself an uncon-
strained rebel"-and he could never
forgive unfriendly criticism Of Edgar
Allen Poe.
Being . confirmed punster, no day
passed but one or another of his
pupils was "punned" BY him. He
would meet d favorite in the corridor
or in the grounds and the boy would
hear something like this:

Such was the Independent title
which Shakespeare gave his most
amusing comedy. TIE fact that it
has lived in public liking for more
than three hundred years, and shows
no signs Of failing favor, il . sufffi
Gent proof that the world likes it
very well.
The presentation Of this grand old
comedy, to be given BY Miss May
Stewart and her excellent company
at the Sandoz Opera House on We'd
nesday, Dec. 22d, is ssid to be per-
feet and complete in every respect.
An advance notice claims that Miss
Stewards management has spared no
expense in scenic equipment and cos
tuning, and has surrounded her with
a very capable company for this tour.
MIR. Joseph De Grasse, who has been
especially engaged for this tour has

Shakesperean roles. The cast in-
.cludes such well known players as

Race Problem In Piusburg

Pittsburg now realizes that the race
problem Is "a condition and not n theory -
Ohio and Kansas have gone through the
same process OF enlightenment. In taking
vigorous measures for the protection OF
women from negro rufiianism the Penn
sylvania city sets an example which WASH
ington would do well to emulate. The
national capital seems to be about the
only city in the Uuitcd States i'm which
the negro is free TO terrorize a community
without bringing upon himself swift and
adequate punishment. The vagrant and
idle negro with criminal instincts is a
menace 10 every city in which his pres
encc is tolerated. There is only one way
tO cope with him, and that is to make
him feel the heavy hand Of the law, 10
punish him speedily according to his de-
serts. The Pittsburg authorities are deal
ing with problem which will sooner or
later confront every northern city to which
shiftless and vicious elements among the
negroes are attracted. Then the north
will at last understand the peril which
has menaced the southern states for many
years. The migration Of the negro from
the south 10 the north brings the people
Of the latter section face 10 face with a
condition which will threaten their sc-
curity il they do not deal sternIy with
lawlessness and ruiiianism OH the part Of
vagrant blacks. Baltimore Sun.
