some universities prejudice has
grown up against the foreign student.
1t is to be hoped that this spirit will
not invade Missouri, but rather that
this will become university of such

The county clubs are doing good
work in advertising the University.
Probably never before in the history
Of the school has there been such an
opportunity for effective work by
boosting organizations. But there is
field for them even after election day
is past. County clubs can do a great
work in keeping the University before
the people by sending letters to their
home newspapers for publication. Last
year many of the clubs got up pro-
grams which were given at the hig:l
schools during the Christmas holidays.
These programs aroused interest
among the high school pupils in the
University and doubtless were respon-
sible for the decisions of several to
attend the University when their high
school courses should be completed.
The students from every county rep
resented at the University should b.
organized and should have reprc-
sentative in the Ad Club. If there is
only one man from the county he.
should apply for membership in the
Ad Club and do what he can to carr
out its plans for advertising the Uni
versity. The Ad Club is the chief
boosting organization in school and its
membership should be as representa-
tive of the whole state as is possible.
There are ia counties in Missouri
not counting the civ of st. Louis.

RIGHT LIVING A PROBLEM


Men are trying today to get some
service for society out of the rich
treasures Of thought and study in all
branches of knowledge.
This is an age when things are made
practical and serviceable. Rich b1.i-
ness interests are paying fabulous
sums for ideas. They want ideas that
will simplify processes in labor-thal
viii conserve energy. time and ex-
Densc. Besides simpler, cheaper mett-
Cts in business, they are studying the
art OF living with increased comfort.

taught how to live. He is told that
uncleanliness means pain. He learns
that there is harm in drinking from

that dust carries microbes that spread
disease. He is taught only the things
that have to do with his own conduct

And SO, study, once dry and tedious
becomes interesting. 1t is making
healthier, stronger men.
May not even philosophy touch on

We always feel sure of good story
when we take up one of Richard Hard
ing Davis books. His style and die
tion, along with his great constructive
powers, give HIM position high
among the writer's of fiction. His la
est book, Once Upon Time" is u
collection of stories gathered from
many fields, reminding us of the fact
that Mr.. Davis has no hesitancy il
going to the "uttermost parts of the
earth to get a scene for story, or
pick out characters for heroes and for
villains. There are several varieties
and fiavors in this volume, and the
stories are worth the reading.
