THE DIFFICULTIES OF DISCIPLINE

4 mother after chiding wayward
child often tells the child that it hurt
her worse than it did the punished
one 1t is hard for the one punished
to see it that way. The mother is
compelled to uphold the ideals of CON

follow. She does not love the child
the less.
So it is to great extent in all
discipline. Especially is it so in the
discipline of a great university A
university is an institution with a
policy that is necessary for the good
OF its own standing among institutions

policies are in accord with the best
standards Of individual conduct. All
individuals are not alike, however.

The individual must suffer for the sake
Of the institution. 1t is not that the

DUTY OF THE REPORTER.

The most accurate reporter is the
instrument attached to a bicycle or
automobile or other machine to report
the speed or distance of travel. These
are mechanical and truthful reporters
unless the gearing or mechanism be-
comes damaged. The reporter for the
newspaper is the most complicated of
all recorders. His mechanism is as
complicated as the personal equation
magnified as many times as there are
reporters. He is attached by his en-
ployer to the pulse of humanity and
his duty is to report all its throbs, its
chickering's and relaxations.
The reporter must know men and
the motives of men. He must have
broad insight and foresight. He must

TAKE UNIVERSITY TO PEOPLE,.

Just now there is a campaign on in
the State of Missouri for better sup
port of things educational, especially
the University of Missouri. The au-
thorities at the university can help in
this campaign by taking the university
TO the people. They can do this by
lecture, bulletin, or the establishment
OF short courses in various sections
of the state. Such a plan will bring
the people into contact with the insti-
tuition, make them feel the necessity
for it, the good it is doing.
The College OF Agriculture reaches
the people with its special trains. its
farmers institutes, and its farm boys
eEcampments. The School OF Educa-
ton has conducted university extern
sion courses in different cities What
these departments have done others
can do. The School OF Engineering
can plan lighting systems fer the
towns. drainage bitches for the
farmer. and good roads for the peo-
pie. This school could be an eyperi-
ment station for the entire state The
School of Law can give the city a
model charter, should be an advisory
board for the people OF the state. and
might prepare series OF bulletins inter-
pgeting the important laws Of the COM
monwealth for the benefit of those,
who, from lack OF time. cannot make
the law study. The conventions of
the people, the commencement day of
the high school, the chautauqua plat
form, all offer an opportunity to the
lecturer from the College of Arts
and Science.
1t is not proper for the university
to wait for an invitation to come to
the people. 1t should offer its serv-
Ices to the state, and dedicate its
efforts to the best interests of the
people. The best way to interest the
people in the university is to show
the people that the university is in
terested in them.
Take the university to the people.
