Laughter an Old Age Preventive.


LONDON-Eustace Miles, speaking
on How to Prevent Old Age" de-
clared that laughter was an invaluable
preventive.
"a fortune" he urged, awaits the
man who will provide a padded room
where for a small sum of money a
man can go in for five minutes,
laugh heartily, kick about and gen
orally enjoy himself"
Mr. Miles made an earnest plea for
games adapted to family life.
1T is much more important to pre-
vent premature old age than to pre-
vent DEATH" he continued. we grow.
Old largely because it is the conven-
tonal thing to do. When man
reaches certain age it is NOWADAYS
positively indecent for him to remain
young. We let ourselves grow old
because people tell us we are grow
ing old. A man ought to put his foot
down and say I won't grow old He
ought to get out of grooves. We are
not haphazard enough. We are ant
to do the same thing over and over
again. and that in itself is extremely
ageing.
The chief general rule to prevent
old age is to refrain from worrying.
because worry involves fear and cow

MOST DEMOCRATIC SCHOOL.

The University of Missouri has en-
joyed the distinction of being the most
democratic school in the country. II
is a distinction of which the school
should be proud. That democratic
spirit is one that should be fostered
and continued in the university. 1t is
: spirit that holds every man to he
as good as his fellow until he has
shown himself to be otherwise. There
is no class distinction, no aristocratic
bearing On the part of the few.
Perhaps this democratic spirit was
introduced in the university in the
Olden days by the southern element
which then composed the greater part
of the student body. That spirit is
becoming extinct in many institutions.
1t is even a rare thing to find it now.
1t has been replaced by spirit of
snobbishness, of over-bearing conceit
on the part of the few.
One of the most pleasing features
in the University of Missouri is the
attitude of fraternity and non-fra
ternity men toward each other. I'm
like in most schools they have never
taken organized opposition toward
each other They have always worked
in harmony for the best interests of
all. There is no particular danger
OF this spirit being broken but it
should be guarded against at all times
Let Missouri continue to be the
most democratic school in the whole
United States.

FOR NEW SIDEWALKS.

1t is early in the season for the
building OF new sidewalks but it is
an appropriate time in which to note
the need OF better sidewalks. With
snow and slush on the ground side
walks are more than ornament. Col
on sidewalks but there is still much
room for Improvement. Many places
about town are without sidewalks
Hardly a street in Columbia is fully
provided with granitoid walks.
A good plan at this time would be
for the city council to prepare Il
list of those places that need better
sidewalks and as soon as the spring
weather breaks start work on them.
1t does not pay to put the matter Of
too long or it will never be done.
Columbia needs good sidewalks on
every street. They improve the value
of the property and the appearance
of the town as well as satisfy neces-
sity.
The city council should begin to con
slider the matter at once and make
plans to be put into practice as soon
as the weather will permit. Other
winters are coming.

Persons interested in the university
who know the conditions here are hop
ing that the next legislature will have
enough money at its disposal to give
the school a new library. 1t could
not be provided before because econ
omy in the state had to be extended
to the university. A new agricultural
building had just been provided for.
I he university asked for several other
buildings, and not all of them could
be given. This time the school is
striking directly for library as its
greatest need, willing to make out in
other matters if only its valuable
library is cared for and made more
useful to the students. A fire. against
which a fight would be OF no avail,
would cost more than the s250,000
asked for.

He Would Have Stunts Easter.

He Would Have Stunts Easter.
To the Editor of the University Missourian:
I E. r. F. thinks that Easter hoil-
days are not worth while. He also
believes that department stunt days
should not be combined with Easter
holidays.
Why do hard-headed business men
favor holidays for their employees?
Because it pays in dollars and cents.
Why do bankers give holidays? The
refreshed clerks are more accurate IN
their work. If the writer believed
that Easter holidays would take one
grain from the sand hill of facts,
which the review for examinations Is
supposed to solidify into one coherent
mass, he too, would not favor the
holidays.
OF course the student feels drudgery
keenly after vacation. HIS re-
freshed nerves are more sensitive to
either pain or pleasure. But this very
recreation of the nervous system en-
ables him to master his lesson in a
shorter time, and feel less tired at
the end of his study hours.
When the writer urged that stunts
be held during the Easter vacation,
he believed that the penalty of from
one to six hours for each student
would make the cutting of regular
school days impracticable-especially
for seniors. He believed, too, that
such a penalty was imposed BY the
authorities, not as sign of their
power but from the sincere desire
that the standard of work at Missouri
be equal to that of older universities.
Besides the grindS, homesick Stu
dents. ct al. there are certain students
in every college OF the university who
are thoroughly irlbued with the de-
partment spirit They do all the
work on the stunts, anyway, and would
be Johnny whether the
stunts were held during the SHOWS OF
February, the hot weather OF June,
or the mild, pleasant weather OF
Easter week JUNIOR.

AboIishes Night Class Rush.

This fall marked the abolition of the
night fall rush at the University of
Michigan. Last spring the university
senate abolished all forms of a night
clash between the underclassmen.
The student council presented plans
for a daylight rush which met the
approval of the senate and were
adopted tentatively. This year the
rush came as usual on BLACK Friday"
but was on Ferry Field and was limit
ed in time from 2 to O'Clock in the
afternoon. Much of the former vio-
lence was done away with, and no
serious injuries resulted.

The Fourteen Errors of Life.

The fourteen mistakes of life Judge
Rentoul told the Bartholomew Club
are:
To attempt TO set up our own stand
ard of right and wrong and expect
everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure the enjoyment Of
others by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To lcok for judgment and expert
ence in youth.
TO endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
Not to yield in unimportant trifles.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others about
what cannot be remedied
Not to alleviate if we can all that
needs alleviation.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
To live as if the moment, the time.
the day We're so important that it
would live forever.
To estimate people by some outside
quality, for it is that within which
makes the man.-London Evening

New System in Law School

The Boston University law schoo!
IS the first law school in the East, if
not in the entire country, to establish
system of courts. whereby its stu.
dents may try cases before graduation
and, with the possible exception of the
University of Michigan law school. it
Is the only law school today which has
a complete system of courts ranging
from the inferior trial court to the
supreme court While some court
work was first introduced in this
school some twenty years ago, it was
not until recently that the system now
used was finally completed.
