the University tell what well known
spots in and around the University
they have not visited during their four
years residence.
One senior was lately heard TO say

senior Engineers nave never been in
the Law Barn and wonders why. Are
there any seniors who have never
looked at Boone County from the dome

who has never swept the heavens with

LAWNS AND LAWNMoWERS.

Against lawns. well kept, there can
be little objection. A smooth grassy
plot surrounding a home adds much
to its attractiveneSs; il returns a psy,

ing the lawnmower-the person. not
the machine-not all than can be said
is TO his advantage.
No one would question the motives
OF the man who pushes the revolving
steel blades over his grass; such work
shows pride. and industry. and civic
spirit. The man who mows his own
lawn usually does so because he be
lieves the exercise will benefit him
physically; this. too, is 1audable But
the neighbor. sleeping by an open
window, who is awakened early by a
neighbor's lawnmower, probably wish
es the enterprising resident of the
neighbOrhoOd could be forced to bite
off each blade of grass. As a neigh
borhood alarm clock, nothing has yet
been conceived that surpasses the rat

the stops and starts. the minutes

lence while the operator turns the
machine for another spurt across the
green, the would-be slumberer gives

The point urged against the lawn,

that it be used less The objection
which even the disturbed sleeper

HOUSEHOLD DUTIES FOR BOYS
London School Head Says Girls Have
More than their Share of Work.

LONDON-Mrs. S. Bryant. head mis-.
tress of North London Collegiate
School for Girls, has complained that
boys were not made TO do their share
of household work, but allowed TO
spend their time in their own way.
There was always something for a girl
to do in the house. and her time for
study was seriously curtailed, but it
was understood i'm most households
that boy should have everything
done for him. This was bad for the
boy as well as unfair to his sister.
Even when the children were older
and working for the same examination.
such as the matriculation. the girl al.
ways had more outside duties than the
boy. A boy of Il or Is was expected
to be helpless, but there would have TO
be revolution i'm the household be-
fore anything could be done for the

X. US Invitation Meet.
SENIOR,

Editor the Missourian: There was
an invitation meet held by Kansa.
University TO the Kansas City higl
schools on McCOOk field recently. The
three schools of MissOuri's second lars
est city-Central, Manual and West
port-competed in a track meet not
held by their own university, but by
thar of another stale. X. L.. was for
tunate to get the athletes of three OF
the biggest high schools i'm our state
10 compete on its own field The meet
brought practically the entire track
talent OF the three schools in closer
touch with X. l.. Aside from the mere
fact of competing in 4 track meet there
was deeper interest at stake: They
were influenced by that school, and
no doubt many OF them made up their
minds TO attend it when they finish
the preparation. IL gives Missouri an
enormous handicap in hoping to gain
them for students in it's own institu-
ton. The school that gets first
chance at influencing prospective stu
dents generally wins out.
There is a deeper meaning at stake
than getting those athletes to attend
the school. 1t undoubtedly will in
fluence the future athletic situation
between Missouri and Kansas. Missou-
ri has heretofore held supremacy at
track, and Kansas would like nothing
better than to beat us on the cinder
path. Hence, they are looking out for
the future. They are persuadng high
school athletes to attend their school
and in this respect are stealing a
march on u.s.
The moral is to wake up and beat
H. U. at its own game Have invita-
tion meets ourselves and persuade
these athletes to come to the univer-
sity of their native state.
No doubt it is largely the fault of
mating between the two institutions.
The Kansas City high schools have
recently refused 10 enter Missouri's
high school day meet. But
they gladly expect the invi-
tation TO compete at X. L. Is il jus
tice? Perhaps Kansas City is closer
to Lawrence than TO Columbia, but
nevertheless We still have first claims
upon her prospective students. And
we should demand our rights.
We should let it be understood that
We want the authorities of those
schools to take an interest in NJ. L.
as well as Kansas. II is treating us
unfairly, TO say the least.
1t is vital question and NAV de-
eide the future of MisSouri's track
II is up TO us 10 do some
thing about this matter.

The treasury building is OF an
