"HoWever."

1t comes from out the unabridged
And sparkles down the pages,
A graceless word, yet privileged
'Mong all the wits and sages.
The scribes when writing pieces both
Original and clever,
Somehow are not precisely loath
To use the word however"
When poets rhymes are out of joint
Right heartily they choose it;
And orators, to make a point,
Invariably use it,
The stylists with superior sniff
In rhapsody may flout it,
Yet wonder what things would be if
They had to do without it.
For It's the golden link that binds
The wearying chain of phrases
BY which the eager reader finds
His way through all the mazes.
l hail is as welcome glow
OF muscular endeavor.
For words may come and words may
go
However" lasts forever.

UNIVERSITY AN ARM OF STATE.

Many persons, some students espe-
cially, have the idea that the Univer-
sity of Missouri is maintained TO give
diplomas to anyone who spends re-
quired time in its buildings doing
certain amount OF work. The influ-
ence and greatness OF the university,
they think. extends only to those who
stand in the shadow of its columns.
For such persons there is learning in

Half forgotten by a public whose
ears rang with her praises two gener-
ations ago, and approaching the time
of life when rest and reflection are

Lime Rock Lighthouse still attends to
her important duties as faithfully and
capably as at any previous period dur.
ing her fifty-three years residence on
the rocky island. Daily, she pursues
a round of labor which would exhaust
many stronger woman, and there is
never an hour throughout the night
when she does not consciously
awaken, attentive to the red glow
which assures her the light is fulfill
ing its mission. Most impressive of
all, perhaps, in her long tale of serv-
ice, is the fact that she has spent only
half dozen nights off the rock since
she became keeper in 1S79.-J. Earl

THE MODERN STAGE.

Every YEAR there is a great number
OF plays given in Columbia. Some are
hlgh-claSs. masterful dramas: others
are OF the lowest and cheapest sort.
The latter class is the more common.
They bring crowds; and they bring
returns al the box-office. Are the
people degenerating. or are the morals
OF the stage falling? Who is to be
blamed Tor this lack OF appreciation,
the people, or the manager who makes
the preference?
The people are not blind; they can
not fail to see the degradation of the
stage when such plays are endorsed.
They cannot fail to see the demoraliz
ing effect such cheap plays have on
the younger generation. Yet they toll
crate such productions, and even lend
them financial support The indecency
OF poor plays should appeal to the
finer sensiblities, and not to grosser
pleasures. Without doubt the people
are to blame. for they have within
their power the right of criticism and
condemnation.
Recently Columbia audience had
the opportunity of attending one of
the most masterful religious dramas
which has been given here. The play
was well attended; but not to the ex.
tent to which some musical comedies
have been attended. This was case
where opportunity was lost.
A New York manager is Offering one
of the most indecent plays ever staged
in America. 1t is taken from the
French, and has none of the original
suggestiveness eliminated. The at
tendance at this show is exceeding all
expectations. The manager profits
thereby. This same manager lost
s1oo.000 on a spectacular religious
drama which he tried to make the
same New York audience accept.
Surely there is something amiss
here. The public is inclined to accept
light. frivolous comedy in place of the
better drama. The people demand it;
the manager supplies it. 1t brings
money to him.
High class drama may be a moral
education; musical comedy may be a
demoralizing degeneracy. The sooner
the public awakens to the educational
value OF decent drama and exercises
its right OF censorship, the sooner will
the morality of the national stage at
tain the ideal

ROAD BUILDING WOR
FOR YOUNG ENGINEERS

The making OF pubic highways III
the United States suddenly stopped
with the perfection first of the steam
boat and later of the railroad. For
more than 80 years the people gave
little attention to building new high
ways or keeping the old ones in good
condition, believing that the railroads
and trolleys would meet the need.
The result of this was that scientific
road building became almost lost art
Or at least, of so little Importance
in the eyes of the public and the busi-
ness world that few cared to give the
necessary time to study it. AS a
natural result the engineers who were
capable of laying out and constructing
good highways became fewer and
fewer.
When the automobile, however, be-
came commercial power, the agita-
ton for good public highways took on
new life. While the auto remained
only an expensive toy for the rich the
general public gave little heed to this
renewed agitation. But when the
gasoline cars began to appear in the
smaller towns, and then in the farm
ers' stables, and became so popular
with all classes, and the perfection of
the motor truck followed, then the
cause of good roads received big
impetus.
The office of public roads is bureau
of the Department of Agriculture,
whose duty is to aid the work of road
Improvement by studies, experiments
and object lessons. More than half
of the state have begun to work in
cooperation with the department and
the question is being considered by
the rest. A number of counties have
voted for bond issues for road i'm
provement, and have asked the help
of the department in expending the
money.
During the last year the public roads
office spent nearly $4,000 in making
practical demonstrations of scientific
road building on 50 sections of road.
The roads were built under co-opera-
tive arrangements by which the local
authorities paid all expenses of ma
chinery, labor, tools and materials.
and Uncle Sam provided the engineer
ing work. The experimental and ad
visory work of the office is also quite
extensive.
AS the result of the increased de-
mand the technical schools and col
leges have begun to devote more at
tention to highway engineering. The
public roads office appoints student
englneers-yOung men who have had
some technical highway engineering
training. They are paid only small
salaries at first but after a course
OF thorough instruction in highway
work they are advanced to positions
of assistant engineer and given prac-
tical work on the road From these
positions they are frequently drafted
by states and municipalities to take
charge of local road building.
In this manner Uncle Sam is giving
a postgraduate, practical course to
the graduates of the technical schools.
and fitting them to do better work and
command higher salaries. The de-
mand upon the public roads office for
good road engineers is so large that at
times the department is crippled itself,
because it is unable to secure a suffi-
cient number of student engineers to
keep its own ranks full-Philip R. Rel
Ter, in st. Louis Times.

Much wrath is heaped upon the head
of the ..iail man these days for mail

in Columbia is unusually good, consid-
ering the fact that so great part of

DEBATING and Lawyers.

The University of Missouri purposes
to stamp out intellectual dishonesty
by stopping the practice of choosing

they believe to be right. How is this?

which the university of the state is
intended.
The state does not support any insti-
tuition for the good of individuals
alone. Its prisons. hospitals, reform
schools. are maintained for the pro-
lection and welfare of the people and
not for the individuals in them.
The state has established the uni.
versity to educate men and women for
the good they can do in return. Engi-
neers are trained that the resources
of the state may be conserved and
used to the best advantage Medi-
cine is taught that more skilled men
may preserve the health of the peo-
pie. Lawyers are educated that the
law of the state may be made more
just and that all may receive due
protection. Teachers are educated
that the school system may reach
higher standard and everyone may re-
ceive instruction. Farmers are edu-
Gated that the most good can be
brought from the soil and the people
be better clothed and fed. Men are
educated in journalism that they may
be more fit to fulfill the opportunities
for good in journalism.
Experiment stations in the Agricul-
tural College. soil survey, experiment
farms in nearly every county in the
state, extension work TO the teachers
throughout the state, laboratory work
in the medical building cooperating
with practicing physicians throughout
the state. are all supported and main
tanned for the good of the state.
The university is the one institution
OF the state whose purpose is to make
Missouri better state to live in. 1t
is doing this work through the train
ing of individuals and every individual
who is so trained should feel that he
owes to the state great debt
