TO REVIVE SPELLING.

The spelling bee has lost it's sting
The youth no longer goes to the
home of his best girl to drive ten or
twelve miles farther, to attend the
spelling bee at the old school house.
OF course the child now must
learn how to spell, but it is taught
to remember words by form and not
10y structure. The child must be
drilled thoroughly, however, on mu-
sic, drawing and other kindred sub
j,cts useless to it's early educational
development.
w. p. Evans. State Superintendent
of Public Schools. has recognized
this lack in our public school system,
and to stimulate more interest in
spelling. has arranged to choose the
states champion speller. The con-
tests are to be graduated and repre-
sentatives from each township in
the state will spell down the other
townships for the county champion.
slip. The winner of this will then
compete in the congressional district
bee" and this winner will in his
turn attempt the spelling down of
the best speller in the other districts.
Spelling should then attain its old
position in the apiary

THE HOME.BUILDERS.

The plan of going to California in
a wagon is good one. The outdoor
life on the trip should strengthen
and encourage the man in his pro-
ject of home-building.
In much the same way, the early
Western pioneers founded their
homes in the wilderness. only at the
time they travelled it was much more
dangerous. Indians, hostile to the
whites, wandered over the country.
Roads also had to be made. 1t was
in this time that the roads to the
West were located. Among
them was the Santa Fe trail, over
which this modern pioneer will trav-
el to find a new home.

Teaching Journalism in Missouri.

| best opportunity for most young men
who wish to go into the newspaper
making is the country press and the
country editor must be not only
writer, news gatherer. and cOmmen-
tatOr, but he must be master OF
the ordinary principles of business.
He should have a. working know
ledge of the principles of bOOkkeep-
ing and he should be thoroughly
drilled in the keeping of cost sheet.
At the bottom of most of the fail
ures in every kind of business is the
ignorance of what it is costing to do
business. Moreover. young newspa-
per men should be taught something
OF mechanics. The history of the art
OF type-cutting is a most interesting
study, it is one of the fine arts and
a great deal of knowledge that can
be turned to account in dollars and
cents can be had from books much
as it may be said that printing can
only be learned lat the case" The
newspaper man who will make
careful study of DeVinne'S plain
Printing Types" will have fund of
valuable information that some ex-
perienced printers never acquire.
The great need of the press is for
educated men on the weekly newspa-
pcrs and the successful country edi-
Tor must be a rounded man. The
sophomore who studies the princi-
pies of the steam engine in his text
book on physics stores his mind with
a bit of information that never ceases
to be useful to him, and the lad who
wishes to produce newspapers should
he instructed in the mechanism of
the printing press. the type-casting
and stereotyping machines. To train
prospective newspaper men to be
skilled mechanicians would take too
much time from their college
courses. but it would be easy to give
them such rudimentary instruction
as would save them many bad
quarter of an hour in later years.

The State, published at COlumb bia,
6. c., has this to say, editOrially, of
the School of journalism at the Uni
versity of Missouri:
In the University of Missouri, the
school of journalism" is doing ex-
cellent work. A recent number of
Golfers describes its methods in in
teresting style and practical news
paper makers are convinced by it
that the pioneers in this branch of
professional education have made
wise beginnings. The teachers are
men who have been brought up in
newspaper offices and their instruc-
tiOns are designed to equip the youth
who has aptitude for journalism
with a knowledge of its ways and
habits that will enable him to en-
ter upon it seriously with the least
possible misdirected effort The
school does not pretend to convert
any and every kind of raw young
man into a successful journalist; it
can do no more for it's students than
the medical and law schools can do
for theirs, but it can give young men
a groundwork in four years that they
could scarcely gain in three or four
times as many years in a newspaper
Office. In the school, the student
obtains general understanding of
the departments of newspaper work,
enough of each one to enlarge upon
rapidly when he enters upon it as a
salary Garner. The raw lad who en-
tiers a daily newspaper office without
training in these days of specializa-
ton must spend as a rule years in
each department and often he never
gets beyond the branch in which he
started.
If one is to judge of the Missouri
school by the article in Golfers it
ccnfines its work strictly to the train
ing of journalists and therein its de-
sign is too narrow. What is needed
chiefly is the combination journalist
and publisher. In other words the

HELPING THE OTHER FELLOW.

EUltOT lie MiSSOul ldu
Do you ever look out for No. 2 at
the University? Most of us look af
ter our own interests pretty well, but
what are we doing to help the other
fellow? What can We do?
College men do not like to be
preached to and in this they are not
much different from other men. This
little appeal is not preaching; it is
merely a suggestion of some things
we can do to brighten up the col
lege course of some fellow student
and help him make the best of it.
The first thing that comes to. mind
is the library. Do you ever keep out
a book that you know some other
member of your class needs? Do you
monopOlize the space at the card cat
alogue files? Do you take out two
books at once when you know both
are needed by other students?
If a classmate is sick or absent
from class do you ever look him up
to tell him what to study for the next
lesson? 1t may seem like waste of
time but it is really worth the trOu-
BILE. Perhaps you can help some self
supporting student find job; it may
be he needs a lift in some difficult
study. There are many ways in
which one can help a fellow student.
You don't have to join knight er-
rant society or go out of your way to
find these opportunities. They are
offered to you every day. Why not
start now to look out for the other
fellow? S.

iitOr the MissOurian:

Editor the MissOurian:
Many students have the idea that
the way to prepare for work is to
loaf half the semester and then in
the last three weeks before eXamina-
tions begin cramming. This is bad
because you do not study for school
alone but for life.
Habits of work formed in college
are liable to stick in after life. One
OF the chief qualities which go to
make success is reliability The man
who cannot be depended upon is not
going to rise very far in the business
world. It's the steady work that
counts in or out of college.

ACHANCE TO DO MORE.

Those new street cans are good
start, and they undoubtedly will do
much good Once the public has got
in the habit of using them the change
will be noticeable.
The prisoners, also, will find it
good exercise to make the rounds
with the bright new carts. But why
would it not be a good plan for them
to do more than merely gather up
the refuse that has been thrown in
to the cans?
If they would stop every now and
then to pick up a stray bit of paper
or a banana peel they would not have
to go far to fill their carts. Such an
carly morning stroll would be good,
not only for their breakfast appe-
tites. but also for those of the police.
