NO lOAFERS WANTED.

To certain period in the life of the
American boy or girl attendance at
school is, in large measure. compul,
sorry. In rare instances the boy or girl
proves refractory. At this point the
law steps in; the doors of the reform
school open-and close. When the
boy, or girl, is graduated from the
grammar school, or the reform school.
the law of compulsion is null as af,
fecting future education. Ambition.
character, earnestness of purpose
these alone have control.
To provide young men ard women
possessing these characteristics with
opportunity for intellectual achieve
ment, for the attainment of noble
ideals, is the function of the univer-
slty. There is no place in the insti-
SaNiSi VI Soll llle lulpr, the
trifier, or the loafer. His influence
demoralizes in spirit and in efficiency.
and is intolerable.
To the right-minded student this is
plainly apparent. and for this reason,
in the University of Missouri, the stu
dent body has been given control,
largely, in matters of discipline. The
injury is sustained by the student
the remedy lies in his hands, to
degree.
The recent incident calling for adj
of this power demon
strates that the students appreciate
the function of the university, and
will jealousy guard its privileges and
The University of Missouri is not a
reform school. Nor is it a place for
lOafers.

HANkNoTEs' oDoR is TEMPTER
Secret Service Man Says Postal EN-
ployees Fall Only To It.

Postal employees are the most
honest chaps in the world" said &
secret service man. The only time
a postal employee ever falls from
grace is at the holiday season. when
foolish persons send one another pres
ents of banknotes.
"A banknote has a sweet and pleas
ant odor. easily distinguishable
through sealed envelope Every
man through whose hands a letter
containing banknotes passes can smell
the money. That smell. if he is hard
up, is as delicious to his nostrils as
the smell of grilling fish to a fam.
ished cat
Rarely, as 1 said before, does 8
postal employee fall. When he does
it is the fault of the public-the
foolish public that too irresistiblv
tempts him with the sweet odor of
the banknotes that it sends. as pres
ents. through the mails.

MORE ROOM NEEDED.

The University of Missouri needs
more room. The need increases
as the school grows. In eight
years no building for class room
purposes, except the new agricultural
building. has been added. In eight
years the enrolment has increased
rapidly. Eight years ago there was
no more room here than was needed
Today there is not as much as is
needed. A separate gymnasium for
women is needed. With a new library
and a new gymnasium building, the
need for more class room in Academic
Hall might be met Even now rooms
in the fourth story. or attic. and in
the basement, have been fitted up for
use which were not designed for the
purpose. Wings in the corridors of
the building have been cut off. large
rooms and offices have been cut until
every available space is occupied.
Still the building is crowded.
Only one building on the campus
the law buildings large enough to
accpmmodate the present work done
in it, The laboratories are far too
smaH.
Crowded conditions are apparent all
over the campus. 1t is too much to
expect $500 students to do the best
work in space intended to accom-
mOdate one thousand.

phemer who would discredit this
beautiful ideal: For nearly two hun
dred years the school boy has heard
that story and been impressed with
its ideal of truthfulness. George
Washington may never have enacted
the incidents OF the story but no man
in American history was more likely
to have done so than he.
George Washington could have been
king has he so desired at the critical
point in the nations history, but he
was too much CT man to desire
kingShip. He is remembered today.
and the flags are spread in the breeze
on his birthday, because OF the charac-
ter that is embodied in his very name
He would never have been the patriot,
the soldier, the statesman. the presi-
dent, had he not first been the man
and so it will always be with the
dOers Of truly great achievements.

HARMONY WHILE THE
COLUMBIA WOMEN SEW

/ Columbia. the gem of Missouri, Is
the home OF the state university, put
she is not content to rest her title TO
fame on this distinction, foster the
athletic and the intellectual and let it
go at that. Columbia yearns to reform
abuses and upset hOary conventions OF
society. if so it be that their gray
hairs are not found in the way OF
righteousness; and the more deeply
intrenched the abuse the greater the
joy with which Columbia prepares 10
do battle with il. In proof whereof
We offer the organization Of club of
fourteen ladies', pledged not to com
ment on their neigabors dress, COM
pleXion OF behavior.
This organization is called the Har-
mOny and Embroidery Clab. There
are volumes in the name 4 whole
philosophy is implied in it; for what
more does life need than harmony
and embroidery? Harmony consists
in an inner correspondence between
the miCrocosm and macroCOSm, or. to
put il i'll language which child might
understand, between organism and
environment. Embroidery is defined
by a standard lexicon as "variegated
decoration" Work and love, peace
and art, belief and bric-a-Dac are in
cluded under the two heads OF har-
mony and embroidery We defy any
college town" on the globe. from
Bologna to Boulder, from Upsala to
lpsllanti, to suggest better name.
What gives deep significance to this
movement is the fact that the reform

members are toul.d IL ra.ra:n f"C-''

husbands, horses, automobiles and re-
ligion are ignored likewise. Mrs.
Smiths shortcomings are taboo; but
the divagations of Mr.. Smith from the
straight and narrow way may be given
the space they are worth" when the
organization passes from the order of
the day to the good of the order. |
Well. the flesh is weak even where
the spirit is willing; often those who |
undertake less achieve more. Though |
the purple skirt of the sallow Mrs.
A. may be beyond comment. the green
lap robe which covers her knees is |
without the prescribed domain. 1t is
a wise and benficent provision that

MAKES HAMMER THROW SAFER
New Rule Governing Make of ImpIe-
ment Minimizes Danger.

new rule relative to hammer
throwing contests has been announced
by Secretary James E. Sullivan, of the
Amateur Athletic union. The rule
reads as follows:
THE head shall be a metal sphere
and the handle shall be made of wire.
Such wire must be of the best grade.
spring steel wire. not less than one
eighth of an inch in diameter. or No.
Sc piano wire. the diameter of which
is .102 of an inch. If loop grin is
used it must be of rigid construction
The length of the complete implement
shall not be more than four feet, and
its weight not less than sixteen
pounds
1t is believed that this rule will
greatly lessen the dangers of field con-
tests. The new rule, in providing for
weight. length and quality of wire, is
obviously step in the direction of
safe athletics and should minimize the
accidents that result from hammer
throwing.-Purdue Exponent.

PER CAPITA.

The fact that Missouri, ont of the
greater Western states, gives least per
capita To its university, should be a
shame and reproach to those whose
power it is to remedy this shortcom-
ing. Missouri gives the lowest amount
by quite margin. II cents per capita
is her figure, while that of Illinois.
..a next l~west on the list. is 15 cents
per capita. Minnesota with II Gents
Kansas with II cents, Iowa with 10
cents. and lastly Nebraska heads the
list with &c cents per capita. These
figures seem paltry, but they amount
up to hundreds OF thousands of dol
lars when each citizen gives the share
that tails TO his allotment
Why should Missouri, one of the
richest states in the Union, be so
delinquent in the support of her State
University? The citizens are not vet
alive to their responsibility in the sup
port of their university; they are not
aware that to have progressive state
they must help build progressive cit
iZens. The people must be aroused
and shown that the university needs
their financial support if it is to rank
as one of the great Western schools.
