ents Agrees on This.

Sessions Came to a Clese Last
Evening.

That life certificates to teach issued
nv the COLLEGES and normal schools'
accredited by states, and those grant
ed by examination by state autnoritles
shall receive full credit and full priv
leges in other states as well as WheIe
issued was an important decision OF
the congress Of state superintendents
which ended here last evening
More than half of the United states
were represented. Only one of these
considered graded certificates or couIl-
tv certificates as eligible to interstate
consideration. This state was WASH
ington, where, possibly because OF
a scarcity of teachers, teacher may
receive position without examination
if she has an average grading OF 80
per cent
Most of the discussion during the
session was devoted to what constitut-
ed standard ollege, high school and
normal school. There was 10 oppo-
sition TO reciprocity on the question of
admitting teachers with life certificates
provided they had gotten them from
high grade institutions. What the rep
resentatives worked for was to estab
hsh, as near as possible, the same re-
quircments for these life certificates.
Some of the state have varied slight
ly in the work in these schools and
the standard maintained. At present
there is one state where politics anu
other interests have so unsettled the
school system that a certificate from
that state is denied privileges in any
other The work of this conference
aid others to follow is the standard
izing of all these schools.
The interstate recognition of certifi-
Gates is not entirely new. For years a
few central states, including Kansas.
have had an understanding on this
matter. Yet this Topeka conference is
the first where the movement has had
nationwide scope and participation.
The first meeting of the kind was a
small gathering in Lincoln, Neb. in
1903, when some of the central states
agreed upon their recognition of stand
ara schools and their certificates In
1910 an important meeting was held

PUBLIC SAFETY AND FIRE.

Lack of adequate fire protection is
one thing. and safety of public build
ings is another. No fire department,
however efficient, can save lives and
property where building regulations
are ignored and fire escapes and ex-
its are not provided.
When a three-story building is
erected, fire escapes and easy exits
are necessary; in fact, they are re-
quired by the statutes of the state.
Nothing is said of the failure to CON-
ply with the law because no one is
willing to antagonze property owners
to this extent.
Suppose such criminal carelessness
on the part Of the property owners
to result in loss of life. Is not the
responsibility for the criminal negli.
gence on each and every one con-
nected with the ownership and man.

Poor Ventilation in Library,

Editor The MisJoursan: The H.
brary is poorly ventilated. Poor judg-
ment is shown in raising the win
dows. Either the clerks are too busy
or there is no one in particular to
see about it, for often the window is
raised wide open for hours and the
library becomes like refrigerator.
Other times, when the radiators are
going full blast, it is sitting and ev-
cry window is shut tight as door
nail. Let's have the temperature nor
NAL. There should be somebody to
attend to the ventilation especially.

One of the first things to be provid.
ed for in making Columbia beautiful
should be some regular method of
cleaning the streets. Columbia can
boast of larger mileage of paved
streets than most cities of it's size.
Her paved streets are not kept as clean
as they should be, however. This is
especially true at low places. Let us
have clean pavements all the time iu-
stead of only on High School Day or
other days when visitors in large num-
bers are in town.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1911-03-03
FIX THE ROADSlDES,

There are in Columbia a number
OF places that have been left open
when improvements on the streets
have been made. They vary in depth
from a few inches to several feet in
some places, and one could be Sc
riously injured by falling into such
hole.
The beauty of an otherwise pretty
residence street is often marred by a
ditch between the sidewalk and curb.
Trash lies decaying IN the hole and
small puddles of water fill the depres-
Son for several days after a rain.
1t would be an easy matter to raise
these low places to the level of the
curb and SOW grass seed on the new
earth. Within the next few weeks
is the time that this should be done.
Large holes that are necessary for
drainage should be inclosed with a
wire fence in order to prevent per-
sons falling into them and receiving
injuries for which they could sue the
city.
The greatest improvements have
already been made. Now it is neces-
sary only to add a few minor touches
to make them complete, and to give
Columbia a finished appearance rather
than that of city in the process of
adding these improvements.

ST. LOUIS AND THE CAPITAL.

st. Louis continues to demand the
removal Of the capital from jefferson
City to one of her own suburbs. 1t is
not unlikely that the larger city will
force the issue and have the PROPOSE.
tion of removal submitted to the yot-
ers OF the state.
There are many arguments in oppo-
sition to st. Louis for the capital
Those who fear the influence of money
say the transacting of the states busi-
ness in a large city will submit It 10
an increased influence of the moneyed
interests and tend to decrease the
power of the rural sections of the
state. 1t is also argued that the sal
aries of the state officials would have
to be increased in order to enable
them to meet the increased expenses
incident to living in large city, and
that the general expenses of the ad-
ministration of the government would
be considerably augmented.
The cost of building the capitol
would be greater in a city than in a
small town, and the Supreme Court
Building, Penitentiary and smaller
state bu lldings would have to be re-
placed in st. Louis, while the ones
now in Jefferson City are adequate.
The state would lose heavily on Its
property in Jefferson City, for if the
capital were removed there would be |
a great decrease in the value of all
real estate in jefferson City.
There seem to be no arguments OF |
in favor Of removing the
capital to ST. Louis excepting that
st. Louis wants it. The state is now
greatly Influenced by St. Louis AMI
there is no reason why it should be
more so.

The College World.

What first started as a SNOWFALL
fight between freshmen and sopho
more students of Yale University last
week, resulted finally in the arrest of
four freshmen. Between three and
four hundred students began the
fight, which is prohibited by the laws
of New Haven. An officer attempted
to arrest a freshman. This did not
set well with the rest of the students
and the two classes combined in fight
ing the policemen, who numbered four
by this time. After having received
many wounds, the officers succeeded
in capturing four of the students, who
were fined and turned loose.
