THE PASSION PLAY.

The coming summer thousands Of
tourists will travel to the little Ba-
varian village, Oberammergau. to see
that unique spectacle. the Passion
Play. There is nothing quite like it
in the world, nor has there ever
been.
In 1888, in order TO prevent the
flax blight which had devasted their
fields for many years. the Swiss peas
ants made VOW to God that they
would present the sufierings OF Christ
IN a play every ten years. They have
Kept this vow faithfully, and the
actors. all Of whom are villagers. have
played their parts SO often as 70

ic ability.

the old masters conception Of Christ,
and for his presentation OF his suf-
ferings
Only a simple. lofty people could
present the play. We could not i'm
agine our complex. high-strung actors
with their hair-splitting subtleties, in
terpreting this simple, laautiful
character. Only these children OF
Nature. living in the seclusion Of the

without sacrilege.
1t needs mountain people to see
and understand the grandeur and alb
so!ute simplicity of Christ's character
and life. Their helplessness and de-
pendence upon Higher Force is
brought home to them always by the
awfulness of the Alps surrounding
them. They are far from the sordid-
ness of city life. They are nearest
to Nature and therefore nearest to
| God. Spectators who are able to
grasp the largeness of this greatest
of all tragedies, will come away wiser

Seats on the Campus.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Where have the seats on the campus
gone? They have moldered away
into the dust of ages, and now if any
one would stroll through its pleasant
paths, he can do nothing but stroll.
for there is no place to rest. Hereto
fore the campus has taken the place
OF a park. But Columbia's populace
will find something sadly lacking, for
it will miss those seats on the campus.
Why should not few dollars be spent
for new seats? A saw, a hammer
some nails, a workman-that is all
that is needed. We hope that the
welfare of the people will be cared
for enough and looked after enough
to have these benches made at the
earliest possible moment. E.

HELP THEM TO SEE CLEARLY

University students and the faculty
should put forth a special effort to
make the annual visit of the high
school students to Columbia, day
not alone of pleasure on the field, but
one in which they will acquire clear
idea of the university and of its pur-
poses and privileges. The young men
will come, of course, primarily, to
take part in the tests of speed. agility.
and .prowess which will signalize the
day. While they are here, they
should be given every opportunity and
encouragement to become acquainted
with the university.
1t is from the high school that the
university draws its students. These
young men and young women will
soon be at the parting of the ways.
They must decide between the high
er education and wider influence and
usefulness offered by the university,
and the assumption of life's duties,
responsibilities and problems lacking
in equipment
The attention, encouragement or
suggestion given these students on
their high school day visit may help
MANY a young man to solve this prob,
lem and to decide his future.
Do your part toward presenting a
clear vision.
