Instead of trying to organize the main
points of the course, endeavors to
memorize every detail.
This difficulty is solved if the teach
er provides a list of review questions
beforehand. One professor recently
gave to his class list of twenty-four
questions, eight of which were to con-
stitute the examination. These twen-
ty-four questions covered everything
of Importance which had been gone
over by the class.
If every teacher would adopt this
plan for future examinations, the
good features of the system would be
retained while the bad ones would be
discarded. The student would get
the benefit of comprehensive review
and not be annoyed by the fear that
perhaps he was not even approaching
the answers to questions which would
constitute the examination. This plan
would do away with the feeling of
which is more wearing
on the student than is study. 1t would
be of especial advantage to the fresh
man who has not yet learned between
the important and unimportant. If,
in the future, this plan were adopted
by all the professors examinations
but also more beneficial. A. M.

Review Questions.

Editor The Missourian: Just before
and during examination week the most
conservative student becomes a re-
former in spirit. Whether or not he
expresses his thoughts, he usually dis
approves of the system which makes
examining possible-perhaps neces-
sary. Others, realizing that examina-
tions are here to stay, instead of
philosophizing son the evils of the
system. stop examining long enough to
advise others not to cram. Mean
while the instructors observe with in
terest that study has become, for a
time at least, the chief feature of uni
versity life.
1t appears that this bienniel carni-
val of learning must go on. The ex.
animation seems here to stay. II
seems that remedy must be found
not in destruction but in Improvement.
Cramming which proceeds examina-
tions is good thing if done properly.
The review caused by examinations
is beneficial if conducted in the right
way. The trouble is that the student,

FOR A NEW LIBRARY.

A crowded room with University
students pouring over their books,
some of them in the Hobbies consulting
together over German grammar per-
haps, and perhaps little group in a
spare classroom discussing some ques-
tion in English and you have before
you picture of the way some of the
students have to study at the Univer-
sity of Missouri. This summer the
basement room under the library was
added to it, three years ago the card
catalogue was moved into the hallway
that was partitioned off for use as
part of the library, classroom was.
appropriated, yet there is not enough
room.
From these statements it can be
seen that the University needs a spe-
cial library building where students
can study and the volumes in the H.
brary find proper shelving space. The
three thousand students need such
building and so do the 1OO,S5O vol
umes with the 10000 pamphlets that
were in the library on September 1,
1910. The enrolment has grown with
great rapidity even during the memory
OF students who will graduate this
year, and with this growth of stu
dents the library facilities have also
grown. Both are now overcrowded,
both need more space to continue
work to the highest advantage.
The present library shows wonder
full growth from the year 1892 when
the law library and about hundred
volumes from the general library were
saved from the fire. Previous to this |
year the appropriations were meagre
and the number of volumes was only
about $4,000.
The library needs place for further
expansion.

Columbia is still in the making. The
forethought that is now put into the
beautifying of the city will be appre-

cent more than it would be now. What
a beautiful city London would be if
the plan of this master-huilder had
been followed. Narrow streets, un-
slightly buildings, lack of space that
might be used for the picturesque
spots in the city, all these facts in the
building of the city do not receive
much attention now, as their impor-
tance is not perceived. Their value
will be seen in a generation from now
when the city has grown to a good
size.

DIVISION OF SURPLUS PRODUCTS


The fifth of the total number oi
counties of Missouri located in the
southwestern corner of the state pro.
duce one-fourth of the surplus pro.
ductsof the entire state, according to
recent census statistics.
This is very favorable indication
for these counties, taken as counties,
but it is thought that the surplus pro-
ducts are. in proportion to the popu-
lation, if not to the number of .coun-
ties. jxas.
No richer area exists in any section
of the globe than in this corner of
Missouri. The soil is of unsurpassed
fertility. 1t is the greatest strawberry
producing district in the world. More
lead and zinc is mined in the Joplin
mining district than in all other parts
of the earth combined. Every one
of these resources is being developed,
and each year sees an increase in the
value of the products of these coun-
ties. Jasper county alone produced
over s17,OO0,OOO more than it con-
sumed.
But Southwest Missouri is not the
only wealthy part of the state. South
east Missouri has resources just as
great, but they are undeveloped.
Northern Missouri has soil that will
produce any crop conceivable, and
every county congratulates, not en-
vies, the success of her sister coun-
ties, for they realize that it is for the
glory of Missouri, not for local ad-
vancement,. that this wealth is used.

FOR THE FUTURE.

Columbia is growing city; the
citizens will tell you so. the papers
boom the fact, the population in
creases, hence we must accept the
fact. This city and its present build
ing activity are analogous to molten
lead being poured into a mold. The
time will come when the cast will be
broken away, then the metal that has
been poured in will stand out, showing
ali the defects and good qualities that
were present when in the molten
state.

| OH d psyCHolOSy eNdlnlndtlOn, one
student could not think of the answer
to question. He chewed his pencil
for half hour, watched the feecy
clouds through the window, and wrote:
Lord God of Hosts,
Be with me yet;
Lest | forget-lest | forget"
A blank space was left for the
answer when the prayer was answered.
When the student returned to the
question, he gave up and scribbled:
Lord God of Hosts,
Was with ME not;
So | forgot-so | forgot"
The low grade was not given the
Lord God of Hosts.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mar. 22.-Min-

day, admitted that his Investigations
of affairs since his arrival from
abroad had convinced him that Mex
leo is facing greater crisis than he
had believed existed Not only was
the revolution in the north much
more extended than the reports sent
him had led him to believe, but he
had found that discomfort, rebellion
and sedition prevailed to very
alarming degree throughout the south
ern States of the republic.
He declared that the government
would commence at once on the in
auguration of numerous reforms to al
lay the dissatisfaction prevalent
throughout the land, among the first
reforms to be announced to be re-
vision of the election laws.
On the other hand, the government
was determined to offer no conces-
sions to the revolutionists in the field
and to make no suggestion of any
acceptance Of their terms for ending
the revolution.
