No better opportunity to advertise

newspaper comment. No better way
of creating more favorable impress

by letting newspaper men see, as they

If the visitors are pleased with the

THE OPEN.AIR SCHOOL.

Ore of the most recent innovations
in the educational system of the
world is the open-air school. The first
school of this sort was opened in 1904
at Charlottenburg. Germany. This
school, known as the open-air con-
valescent school, was established as
an experiment. The result was such
that other German school; tried the
plan, and the movement rapidly spread
to other countries.
One of the great steps recently
made in this matter is the extension
Of the open-air school to other children
thar those not able to attend ordinary
classes. Anre O'Hagen, in recent
issue of Munsey's Magazine, points
out that while the open-air school in
thi. country had its beginning in the
campaign against tuberculosis, it is
rapidly passing those limits.

FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE.

Whenever a political change is be.
ing contemplated, we nearly always
hear a warm discussion of now it will
affect the freedom and independence OF
the people. The people should be free
and independent, according to all the
campaign orators. Nothing they say
should interfere with the independence
of the people of the grand old COM
monwealth of Mzzourah! Usually
when the smoke has cleared away moth
ing has been done.
The people are almost as independ
ent as they were before. But indie
pencence is always relative. For nc
one can be absolutely independent in
these days. Formerly when men lived
in caves, a strong man with the big
stick could DO as he pleased. But with
the development of society, this has
charged.
What affects one person of com
munity, affects the others to degree
A crime is menace to everyone.
There are varying degrees of in
deDendence. One rian may be able tC
do things another would be mobbet
for suggesting. But there are limits
to the others independence.
We all have to conform to the rule
of the greatest good for the Creates
number.

University Courses.

Editor the Missouran: 1t is not an
unusual thing to hear a student offer
as an excuse for ar unprepared lesson,
the plea that he was busy preparing
another. Naturally the instructor Is
somewhat incensed to hear that stu,
dent has been neglecting his own
course for another. He summarily
blames it Oh the student. The fault
really is lack of adjustment among
university courses as whole.
Tie University is for the purpose oil
centralizing a variety of courses oi
study. In this way it is different from
the ordinary correspondence school
And when the various courses OF study
are not well adjusted, it is the bust
ness or function of the organization to
regulate them. If certain department
gives an undue amount of work to its
stuc cents-oCc of proportion to other
courses-it IS the duty of the faculty to
regulate the difficulty. And where is
q better place for performing this duty
than at the faculty meetings. The fac'
ulty meetings should be just like stu
dent mass meetings. place to get
together for mutual benefit; where one
instructor gets an iGea of what another
lis teaching-not a curious prying4nto
seance. but a sincere interest in each
others labors. Now if the faculty re-
ally has the good of the students as
whole al heart-as it undoubtedly
hast should seek to so regulate the
worl so that one course will not take
more time than the others in proper
tion. No teacher should be allowed
to Dile up a lot of outside work and
long assignments in the text. He
should remember that there are other
courses in the University, and that if
he persists in doing so. no course will
be thoroughly covered by a student.
The instructor who thus selfishly piles
I'D work on a student in the belief that
he is doing good, is out of harmony
with the University As a whole, and is
actually doing harm to the student.
If instructors cannot recognize these
principles for themselves. they should
be regulated by the faculty as a whole
say those things not as lazy stu
dent who wishes to get out of work. or
as man VINO has grudge against any
special instructors. but as one who be-
lieves in system.

get results. He does not practice con-
ser, atism in his writing, although he
is always sure of what he says and his
advertisements never misrepresent.
He attracts the attention of the reader
because he uses the unusual and is
essentially different from the others
of his profession.
Mr. Lewis has given several lee
lures each year in different sections OF
the country. and his practical and in.
tensely helpful talks have proven a
great benefit to the lesser lights in
the advertising world. He is a man

his hearers as well as his readers, and
whose plain but unique way of stating
things assures his hearers of a pro

ever more desirable"
The writer points out that by the
time this school was ready to be open
ed, the public schoO! boards of twenty
three cities in the United States had
decided to maintain such schools, and
that by the present time, the number
has probably doubled.
When one realizes the advantages of
the open-air school, this growth does
not seem surprising. Not only is the
child benefited both physically and
mentally, ard the death rate among
school children decreased, but, "a
pointed out by Anne O'Hagen, these
children become missionaries in the
cause of fresh air in the homes from
which they come.

Carrying Il barber shop on ones
back may not be an easy thing IN
America. but in the Celestial Empire
il is done regularly. A pole across
the BARRIERS shoulder supports at one
end an impTovised stool with drawers
for razor and strOp in it. AT the other
end of the pole is a stand for carry
ing the basin. which is about three
feet high. From place to place, and
all ever the streets, does the barber
walk, waiting to BE- called by someone
who feels the need of having his head
shaved.
Finally customer is found. He is
promptly seated on the stool, while the
barber goes to the nearest hot-water
shop and fOg twentieth part OF cent
purchases enough hot water. These
Kinds of shops are in every block. The
customer leans his lead over the basin,
and the barber vets the surplus hair
on the head with the hot water.
When he decides, the razor is brought
into play, and off comes the hair. For
shaying-paper little basket is used,
and this the customer holds while the
barber f1icks the hair into it. With the
shaving done, a cloth is spread over
| the shoulders and the queue unplaited
and combed. With long sweeps OF the
arm. the barber runs the comb through
the long black hair. Soon he begins to
plai. it. Each turn being given great
care until place is reached where a
silk thread is run in and woven with
the hair This is the finish of the
queue. A massage now follows, grow
ing from sof: pats to loud ones. Fin
ally an unusually hard one announces
that the treatment is over.
