BE SWEET, CLEVER MAID.

Our English cousins are puzzled
as to whether their advice at home
should be "be sweet, clever maid" or
"be clever, sweet maid. American wO-
men are clever And particularly
would it seem out of place at the
University of Missouri to urge them
thus They are sweet, too. But at
such a time, when the spirit of un-
rest is abrOad-the transition per-
iod-it were we'll to take our bear
ings More than one observer has
sounded a warning. In the mad
rush for learning the American girl
may lose something priceless.
We live in an age of the intel
lectual. And woman has gone mad
for intellectual achievement. Good.
We merely warn her that in her
quest she shall not give up her birth
right.
Our twentieth century is ruled by
the heart more than the head. The
heart woman will always command
more, win more, than the head wO-
man. The great mothers of Ameri-
Ca have been heart women. Eng
lands splendid queen ruled so illus
triously, not by her cleverness, (yet
she was clever) but through love for
her people. and their affection for
her. Florence Nightingale and
Clara Barton are immortal through
lives of love and service. They were
sweet That is the secret of Helen
Gould's life.
Be clever. Go on to the highest
Mental achievement. But if you
would be greatest and live most,
keep close to the lives of the worlds
greatest women; keep your heart
from envy; be sweet
Has it ever been your privilege to
wander through the corridors of
memory with one whose life has
been spent in loving service. In the
lengthening shadows what a fra
g1ance it sheds; what a benedictiOn
it is.
Be sweet, clever maid.

Besides the publicity work done fol

1t is significant thing, the
choice of students to do this work.
1t is one of the expressions that are
every day becoming more common
of the statewide appreciation of the
work that is being carried on by the
State University. Confidence in that
institution and it's work is cOntinu-

dergraduates, are in demand for
usefulness.
And with this growing demand
and confidence is developing a spir-

Practically all of Columbia's char
ity work should be done through the
central organization. When indi-
viduals take it upon themselves to
make gifts directly. the distribution
is always unequal. There will be
en- over-abundance of aid in some
cases with its accompanying detri-
mental effects, and lack in many
others. Only by uniting forces can
effective work be done.
