Girls Sew as Professors Read

Professor Northrup, head of the
English department of the University
OF Minnesota, Minneapolis. who. dur
ing the fall took his classes down to
the river bank to fuss, and advocated
reading Milton accompanied by the
orchestra, now says that he has no
objection to the girls in his classes
dong needlework during recitations.
Some brought handkerchiefs, others
brought tatting, others came with
aprons and all worked while the pro-
fessor read poetry.

IN THE MAKING.

When we look upon the acts of peO-
pie who appropriate property not be-
longing to them we are prone to let
them pass with the thought that so me-.
or later the wrongdOer will pay the
penalty. 1t is the moral obligation Of
all students of the University of Mis-
souri, to stand by the rules of the in
stitution, work for its welfare, and up
hold the laws of the state of Missouri
Pilfering of public and private prop
erty about the university has gone far
enough; it is time to call halt; the
oenders should be punished.
\ recent issue of the University Mis-
sourian contained story of the theft
Of electric fixtures from the buildings
of the university. Some days before
money was taken from the clothing of
visiting students. From time to time
articles of apparel have been stolen
from the hat-racks in Academic Hall.
These are only a few OF the instances
OF thieving about the university; there
are many other cases that could be
enumerated. That this is the work of
students can hardly be denied; yet it
is unpleasant to think that such stu

1T RESTS WITH MISSOURI

ne election of President Hill to the
presidency OF the University of Wis
consin is high compliment to Mis-
souri, and to Doctor Hill. The call OF
Dean II. j. Waters to the head of
Kansas Agricultural College was also
a distinct compliment to Missouri. and
to Dean Waters as well. The idea
seems to prevail that for the best in
educational lines it is Necessary to
come to Missouri. That indicates
good Judgment. 1t also indicates an
other fact: That Missouri shows
markedly poor judgment to permit her
educators to be lurcd away.
In the case of Doctor Hill it is
safe to say that salary will play little
if any part in determining his decision.
Minnesota has the reputation of being
liberal in the support OF her unfver-
sity which affords its president wide
scope for usefulness. Just at present
Missouri can hardly claim a similar
dis motion.
Are we to hold to the prevailing
policy and sacrifice our leaders, or
Will We rise to the occasion ard retain
our prestige?

1t is significant fact that most og

mon educator SO is the college paner
1t IS the most important factor in col

one OF the many advantages OF a
daily newspaper in a college is that if
can not only print news that is news
but 1t can keep the student body in
touch with everything that has to do
with its institution. For instance. such
papers as the Missouran. the Mime.

ways arrange for special telegraphic
service from the very field that is the
scene of a game when the home team
is away. Bulletins of the game are
posted as fast as they can be flashed
to the scoring board at the editorial
rooms of the papers The workers on
these sheets are daily sacrificing their
time and energy in the interest of the
student body and are doing a great
good for the university. This is but
one of the many services that daily

THE CONLEY POOR FUND.

One fund from which the poor of Co
lumbia obtain aid was willed to them.
1t is the Conley fund of $4,000. Us
ually such gifts are left to some char
liable organization, but John C. Con.
ley, who was citizen of Columbia,
departed from the usual custom and
left the money to be used for poor re-
lief at the disposal of the city. The
money is invested and three-fourths of
the interest each year is given to the
poor. The remaining fourth of the in
terest is added to the principal.
Cities are supposed to take care of
the poor when the charity organiza-
tions fail TO do so, and, as a rule, the
money used comes from the city treas
ury. In this instance a man has be-
lieved strongly enough in the iudg
ment of the city to give its future Of
fcials the oversight of the use of his
gift.

It's only another OF our meth
DDS of insuring every customer a

fenced buyers. Yet we want
every one to know they can buy
anything in this store for a: low

that no unfair advantages will be
taken of those who are not ia
miliar with what an article
should be sold for.
So we mark every price tag in
plain figures, and the same price
applies to every purchaser.
Those paying cash or closing
their accounts within 80 days are
allowed a discount of 1915 from

and then you think that your bundles
must be put into waiting stockings
long before then. and so you hurry
along for your car and forget all about
the bad temper which you picked up
an hour before in the crowded store.
Fifty years ago, the Rector of the
Church of the Advent inaugurated the
Choir Christmas Eve which has
since 1907 been renewed and adopted
as a regular custome by the Beacon
hill neighbors. An old tradition that
the way of the Christ child should be
lighted with candles on Christmas Eve
accounts for the wavering lights that
fill the windows on the Hill. To the
homes where candles burn the singers
go regardless of religious demon ma
ton or belief and echo Merry
Christmas" and sing a carol. Those
OF the parish who are shut in are
sure of a visit and the singers are
always as sure of welcome as they
were back in 1859, when the late Bish-
op Huntington, cat that time a Pro-
fessor in Harvard College,'0 was SER
enaded by the Christmas Eve singers.
He tells the story in his Memoirs

Beacon street the windows are aglow
with candle lights. The l'ttle COM

Down across street you crunch through
