Cheating in Class Room.


To the Editor of the University Missourian:
In yesterdays issue of the Missou-
rian appeared an article discussing to
some extent what should be done with
students who practice cheating on ex-
aminations. The writer of the article
said that it was so contemplate that
such students were not worthy to be
classed as students in the institution.
| believe he is right about that. 1t
is disgrace = the person who cheats
he is taking something which no
more belongs TO him than money he
might take rom an individuals
pocket. 1t weakens a persons will
power and is directly opposite to the
aim for which man comes to the
university.
The writer yesterday was optimistic
enough to believe that there was no
one in the university who would re-
sort to such practices. 1t certainly
seems that an institution having
Honor and Duty" as it's watchwords
would have no cheaters. However, |
am sorry to say that on the first day
after the Christmas vacation such
cheating came under the observation
of the writer. In written quiz two
men were exchanging ideas freely and
one asked the writer for information
one of the questions.
While this is deplorable state of af-
fairs, nevertheless it certainly exists. |
1t is high time for something to be |
done, and something will be done.

USE THE GOLD COINS.

1t is generally recognized that one
of the chief duties of the Journalist
is to better humanity in a material
way, by exposing graft; by standing
well armed, to protect the people from
the avaricious clutches of the trust
octopus; by furnishing fresh fuel to
the reform for better social condi
tions.
But another duty with less tangible
rewards is that of extending the use
of the most expressive words in that
tongue which has the smallest number
of infections and the largest number
of words-the English language.
Before the journalist stands a
treasury divided into three large
vaults. Foremost, and hence most
accessible, is the vault filled with cop
per and nickel coins. They are the
trite, hackneyed words and phrases,
which from overwork have lost their
brilliancy and life. Such a word
brings nothing definite, nothing pleas
urable to the mind of the reader.
The next door in the hall opens
into the room where silver coins are
kept. These are the unwieldly SYM
bols from the Latin and Greek, which
the shorter, more powerful words
from the Anglo-Saxon have displaced.
To this room are also brought worn
out ideas. After a quiet rest, some
of these will recover their vitality and
return to take their places in the
daily mental battle between man and
man. Others will waste away, and
be cast into the bottomless pit, never
again to be of use in the work-a-day
world.
At the end of the hall is the store
room of gold coins. From their use
by the popular classical authors, they
have come to have definite meaning
to the average reader. Because of
he lnfreQuency of thir use. they have
'etained their luster and original
strength. Some of them are beauti- |
ul and hence appeal to the aesthetic
nature of the reader. Others from the |
rain of ideas which they connote |
ouch the spiritual life, reach the
lbode of the affections or call latent
into action. Surely the use
II the gold coins is worth while.

that Aunt Pat couldn't have come
with US. 1t would have been a relief
for her to get away from hat dreary
schOolhouse."
Il might go and fetch her" l sug-
gested.
IF you do said Gillespie, grinning,
you will not find us here When you
get back."
Rosalind sighed. as though at the
remembrance of her aunt's forlOrn eX-
lie; then the music broke out in a two
step.
Come! We must have.this dance"
she exclaimed, and Gillespie rose
obediently. l followed, exchanging
chaff with Rosalind until we came to
the door, where she threw eff her
cloak for the first time.
Lord and protector, viii you do me
the honOr?'
1t all happened in a moment. l
tossed the cloak across my arm care
lessly and she turned 10 Gillespie with
out looking at me. He hesitated-
some word faltered on his lips. think
it must have been the quick transition
Of her appearance effected by the
change from the rich color of the
cloak to the white OF her dress that
startled him. She realized the danger
of the moment, and put her arm on
his arm.
I'VE mustn't miss a note of it! Good
by"-and with a nod to me | next saw
her far away amid the throng Of
dancers.
AS I caught up the cloak under my
arm something cracked under my fin
gers, and hurrying to a dark corner
Of The veranda | found the pocket and
drew forth an envelope. My con-
science, | confess, was agreeably quies-
cent You may, if you wish, pronounce
my conduct at several points of this
narrative wholly indefensible; but l
was engaged in a sincere effort to
s~traighten out the HolbrOok tangle,
and Helen had openly challenged me.
If 1 could carry this deception through
successfully l believed that within a
few hours l might bring Henry HoI-
brook to terms. AS for Gillespie, he
was far safer with Rosalind han with
HeleA. | thrust the envelope into my
breast pocket and settled myself by
the veranda rail, where l could look
out upon the AXE. and at the same
time keep an eye on the ballroom.
Somewhere beneath l heard the
rumble and bang of a b~owling-alley
above the music. Then my eyes, roam
ing the lake, fell upon the casino pier
below. Some one was coming TOWARD
me-a girl wrapped in a long cloak
who had apparently just landed from
a boat. She moved swiftly toward the
casino. l saw her and lost ner again
as she passed in and out of the light
OF the pier lamps. A dozen times the
nadoW caught her away; a dozen
times he pier lights flashed upon her;
and at last was aware that it was

though UPON an urgent errand. l ran

CHAPTER XX!.-Continued.

Their mothers were much alike,
but they were d~istinguishable. If you
are proposing a substitution Of Rosa

care of it. You may deceive a casual

shall be kept free from further trouble,
and much trouble lies in those forged
notes if your brother gets them. But

son for your remaining in exile. You
owe it to your daughter TO go back to
civilization. And your sister needs
you. You saved your brother once;
you will pardon me for saying that
you W him no further mercy"
He thrust his hands into his pockets
and paced the foor a moment, before
he said:
you are quite right. But I am sure
you will be very careful of my little
girl; she is all | haye-quite all |
have"
He went to the hall and called her
and bowed with a graceful, Old-fash-
toned courtesy that reminded me Of
Miss Pat as Rosalind came into the
room.
will I do, gentlemen, all?" she
asked, gayly. DO l loo the fraud 1
feel?"
She threw off a long scarlet cloak
that fell to her heels and stood before
US in white-it was as though she had
stepped out of flame. She turned
slowly round, with head bent, submit
ting herself for our inspection.
4 think l read doubt in your mind"
she laughed. You must not tell me
now that you have backed out; l shall
try it myself, if you are weakening. l

merge into shadow.
The lights of the casino blazed
cheerily as We drew up to the pier.
and Rosalind stepped out in good
spirits. catching up and humming the
waltz hat rang down upon us from
the clubhouse.

Il ought to feel terribly wicked, but
| really never felt cheerfuller in my
life" she averred. But l have one
embarrassment"
"Well?"-and we paused, while she
dropped the hood upon her shoulders.
What shall l cali this gentleman"
What does she call him? I'm blest

him Reggie
Il will try them all she said. Il
think we used to call him Reggie on

detect the fraud at once and l shan't
get very far with him"
AS We passed the open door the
dance cease and a throng of young
people came gayly out to take the air.
We joined the procession, and were
accepted without remark. Several
men whom | had seen in the village
or met in the highway nodded amiably.
Gillespie, | knew, was waiting some
where; and l gave Rosalind final adj
mOnitions.
Now be cheerful! Be cordial! In
case of doubt grow moody, and look
out upon the water, as though seeking
an answer in the stars. Though l seem
to disappear | shall be hanging about
with an eye for danger signals. All!
He approaches! He comes"
Gillespie advanced eagerly, with
happiness alight in his face.
"Helen!" he cried, taking her hand;
and to me: You are not SO great a
liar after all, Irishman."
oh. MI. Donovan is the kindest per-
son Imaginable" she replied, and
turned her head daringly so that the
light from a window fell full Upon her,
and he gaZed at her with frank, boy
ish admiration. Then she drew her
wrap about her shoulders, and as l
walked away her laughter followed me
cheerily.
l was promptly seized by a young
man, who feigned to have meet me in
some former incarnation, and intro
duced to a girl from Detroit whose
name | shall eve know in this world.
| remember that h danced we'll, and
that she asked me whether 1 knew
people in Duluth, Fond du Lac, Pa
ducah and a number of other towns
which she recited like a geographical
index. She formed, | think a high
opinion OF my sense of humor, for i
laughed at everything she said in my
general JOY of the situation. After
our third dance l got her an ice and
found another cavalier for her. l did
not feel at all as contrite as | should

"Oh, it's you. is it?"-and Gillespie
looked up at me resentfully.
Il have been gone TWO years! 1t
seem to me l am doing pretty well,
al things considered! What have
you been talking about?"

been enjoying yourself"
After a dull fashion, yes"
Il should like to tell her that! We
saw you through the window. She
struck us as very pretty, didn't she,
Reggie?"
Il didn't notice her. Gillespie re
piled with so little interest that we
both laughed.
Its too bad" remarked Rosalind,
