proposition that aroused me to wonderI
and admiration. Here is an example,
of her thrift.
EARLY last month she bought a.
broadcloth dress which, with the ex-I
ira charge for alterations, cost $685.
Well, after she got the suit home She
didn't like it. The store objected att
first to taking it back, but her per
suasive tongue won them over, and
after deducting IS for the alterations,
they refunded the money. Last week.
when nosing around, she saw that
same suit on sale for $35. My wife,
it seems, has such a peculiar figure
that the suit after being made to fit
her wouldn't fit anybody else, so
there was that $50 garment, and cheap
at the price, going for almost one
third off. She of course snatched up
the bargain. No more fitting or max.

done. In these times. when the subject

ABOUT SCHOOLS
OF JOURNALISM

Several reasons why a college edu-
cation is a valuable asset to a Journal
lst are given by Charles Hopkins Clark,
editor of the Hartford Courant. i'm an
article written by him for the Yale
News. He says:
All that goes to make a newspaper
is built up about the news itself. which
Is the life and very essence of the
business
There seem to be three primary re-
quirements for successful newspaper
work: First. the faculty for observa-
ton; second, the art of writing: third,
general knowledge, primarily knowledge
of history (which is the news of ear
lier periods) to suggest the value and
relation of events.
1T stands to reason, therefore. that
ii college course offers peculiar advan-
tage to the young man who would take
up newspaper work. and that the col
iege graduate enters upon sharp COM
petition with better outfit than can
be had by growing up i'm the business
by as much as his education is broader

HOW UNIVERSITIES
TRAIN FOR SERVICE

| This story I have dwelt upon be.
cause it emphasizes a fact that is be.
ginning to soak into the popular con-
sciousness. When L was boy book
farming and agricultural college work
were not highly esteemed and We're the
butt of many popular joke. Now. as
Lincoln Steffens tells us in an article in
the January number of the American
Magazine, a whole state is beginning to
90 to school in Wisconsin. where the
State University is coming to teach
everybody in the state anything they
want to learn. In that article he es-
pccially dwells upon the Improvement
i'm farm methods and the vast increase
in crop yields resulting from the train
ing given to the farmers at the acri.
cultural school of the university.
The same thing is true of our own
state, where the benefits conferred up
on our agriculture by the Manhattan
institution are coming to be more and
more highly appreciated each year. and
where the advantages of book farming
and the intellectual training for the
young man who is going to be farmer
are ceasing to be questioned. The old
ideas that the only successful news
paper men are the ones who begin bv
sweeping out and washing rollers and
have no other schooling aside from
what they get in the print shop. and
that the only successful farmer is the
one who practices i'm the field all
through his youth and never goes away
to college, are fading out. 1t is begin
ming to be understood that to DE train.
ed for his work and to learn what 9TH
ers are doing is just as essential for the
making of the best and most success
full newspaper man and farmer as for
the proper equipment of the lawyer.
the doctor or the preacher. In other
words, the time is near at hand when
every profession in which it is incum-
bent on men to Use their brains will

no WAR WITH JAPAN.

The action of the upper house of the
California Legislature in rejecting the
bill for segregating the Japanese school
children has done much to alleviate the
strained relations which existed for sev-

pecially i'm California. All along the
Pacific coast there is much antipathy
between the two races. and there have
been several clashes in the past few
Years
More hostility is manifested toward
the Japanese than toward the Chinese.
probably due to the fact that the Chi
ne>e live largely in colonies by them
selves and their presence is not felt so
strongly. The Chinese are also less
inclined to cut wage rates and SO have
incurred less enmty from the labor
unions. which are strong on the west
crn coast. The Japanese live frugallv
and are able to live comfortably on

Even in the small towns the feeling
against the Japanese is strong and

Charles NJ Harger. head OF the Nam
sas University School of Journalism
whose literary productions have long

magazines. spoke first. He told in the
plainest and simplest way just what
the course in journalism at Lawrence
teaches in the sophomore and senior
Years. and how readily its graduates
are finding positions in the best news
papers in the west.
The Missouri University School has
much more complete course than ours
i'm Kansas, covering full four years
of training in newspaper work, during
all of which the student is provided
with work upon a daily newspaper pub
lished at the university.
Two illustrations were given of ac
complishments on this paper (the Uni
versity MissOurian) by the advanced
class in journalism. One was the col
lection and editing of the news of the
presidential election last November.
when the students put in the whole
night and furnished in the next morn

The other was Il report of football
game at Columbia. Here the news

their stories from the grand
stand without stopping to write them.

messages to Il linotype operator beside
