Conferences to BE Held i'm Columbia
High School Day.
In connection with High School
Day this year there will be many
conferences of teachers. President
A. Ross Hill will preside at a meet
ing of teachers in accredited schools
and in the University. Concerning
this conference the announcement is
sued says:
These conferences have contrib
uted much toward a more effective
cooperation between the accredited
schools and the University in the
education of the young people of the
state. The leading universities of
the country are becoming more liber-
al in their recognition of work done
by good high schools. The topic for
general discussion this year will be:
SHOULD graduates of Accredited
High Schools be admitted to the Uni
yersity irrespective of the subjects
for which they have high school
credit"
Several conferences and meetings
of teachers of special subjects will be
held. Announcements giving the de-
tails will be sent later to those in
terested. The section meetings will
close at 1920 to permit all teachers
to attend the general conference in
the University auditorium. The fol-
lowing will meet:
The Missouri Society of Teachers
of English and Modern Languages.
The Missouri Society of Teachers
of Mathematics and Science.
The Missouri Society of Teachers
of History and Government.
A conference of the Teaching of
Home Economics will be conducted.

The Rev. Nj. 4. Hart Says Disaster

Occasions such as the Titanic dis

for deeper insight into religion, ac-
cording to the Rev. NJ. A. Hart OF
the Christian Church. MIR. Hart at
prayer meeting last night and in MS
sermon Sunday morning based his
talk on the wreck of the Titanic.
such great disasters" Mr.. Hart
said this morning. form a point or
contact which leads to more appre-
ciative view of religion. God be-
came pretty real to those on board
the Titanic, and He becomes more
real when one considers such great
lessons. My references in my SER
mons were merely to touch upon a
subject that was in everybOdy's
mind, and to show the real value OF
religion and religious life."

CAUSES OF FIRES.

If a COW kicks over a burning lamp
and from it Chicago loses millions of
that the lamp, or the COW was out
OF its right place. 1t is to be sus-
pected that altogether too many
fires are started as result of put
ting something where it should nev-
er be put. A waste basket. for in
stance, is not the right place to throw
burning cigarette stubs; in bed is not
the proper place to lie and smoke a
pipe Dangerous as these acts are,
people are daily committing them un-
til finally fires are started and no
one is able to account for them
The March American City" gives
the principal ways in which fires are
started, as: Lack of cleanliness.

EXPENSIVE AND THEN WHAT?

In 1910 the population of Missouri
was 3,293,335. That same year. the
government statistics showed that
the per capita consumption of all liQ-
uors and wines was 21.S6 gallons.
Dividing that number into distilled
spirits, wines and matted liquors ac-
cOrding to the United States Statis-
tical Abstracts, and multiplying these
by their minimum costs, We find that
every man, woman and child in 1910
paid $26.427 for drinks.
In Missouri that amounted to $751;
O31,964.Oi5.
There is no end of things that
this vast amount could have accom-
plished if differently spent. 1t should
support more than 45O tuberculosis
sanatoriums such as we have in Mis-
souri,; it would maintain the entire
educational system of the state, Uni
versity included. for approximately
thirty years.
What these millions mean for the
state, we can easily apportion among
the countries. and even among the
cities. In 1910. Boone County had
a population of 3O,533. Columbia
then had 1862 people. The approx
innate amount that would have been
spent for drink can easily be deter
mined. keeping in mind the per cap
ita amount for that year.
Now it may be argued. and with
reason. that that amount wasn't all
saved in this dry" county. But
by the same assertion some of it was.
For that alone, the determination for
"dryness" was a good move.
But it isn't the immediate good
derived from any enterprise that
most stress is laid on. Millions are
invested yearly on hopes of future
gains. 1t must be so with the anti
saloon movement. Whatever may
be said as to its success, the con-
sumption of liquor has lessened
Proportionally. the desire for 1t viii
lessen. Herein lies the point. The
men of tomorrow must be spared
from any devitalizing influence. Too
much edged nerve will be needed II
the future for us to permit our boys
IN lose any. The saloon is an invi
tation to its loss and We must guart
our boys.

| 1t was strongly built, riveted and
double-riveted, of the best of steel.
Yet in all its life it did hardly a
days service. 1t was just big hulk
to be buffeted about on Halloween,
rolled up on the campus to get back
the best way it could. 1t was a
boiler and for years it's home was
back of Mechanics Arts Building.
Its history is like the history of many
man, large and powerful, seeming
ly fit for anything, but lacking an
aim.
1t is now in a junk heap, red
with rust. On top of it, mocking
it's strength, lies the head of a sew
ing-machine, which after years of
service lost its life in the fire that
burned its home. There, too, is part
of a baby carriage. The carriage
was game to the very day that the
junk dealer got it. 1t had become too
lame and crippled for baby, so
baby's brother mended it with wire
from bale of hay. He changed the
wheels sadly around so that the car
riage must have been always at a
loss to know which way it was to go.
The little wheel in front wanted to
go one way and the big wheel in
front wanted to go another. Perhaps
| it was the confusion that led it to
the junk heap. Unlike the boiler,
it shows the effects of hard service.
But the boiler has a history. 1t
was born of misunderstanding.
In st. Louis there was a firm of boil
er makers. They sold st. Louis peo-
pie a number of boilers Then came
a question of insurance. The insur-
ance company said, I'VE can't insure
these boilers; they are not made ac-
cording to our specifications"
"Your specifications be hanged"
said the boiler makers. "You are
from the east and want to show off.
Name your test"
1t was agreed that the insurance
company should make half a boiler
and the boiler makers the other half,
each company to stick to it's own
specifications. If the insurance peo-
pies end of the boiler leaked first
when the boiler was tested then they
would pay for the boiler; but if the
other end was the first to leak, the
boiler makers would have to pay.
In addition. if the insurance end
leaked first, the insurance company
agreed to accept the boiler makers
product as standard and worthy of
insurance.
The boiler was built. Each of the
companies interested strOve to give
| it Drawn to withstand any test.
Mechanicians speculated much on the
methods of riveting used. 1t is even
said that some did little ringside
betting, merely to enforce their
theories. At length the day for the
test arrived. Engineers from vari-
Gus places came to see what would
happen to their pet ideas, to see this

Echoes of Yesterday
Five Years Ago.

The Columbia City Council pro-
tested in resolutions against the pas
sage of Representative Morton H.
Pemberton's bill against dramshops.
The council pointed out that the bill
aimed to prevent dramshops in towns
where there were more than 1,50O
students and that Columbia was the
only town in the state where such
was the case. 1t asserted that this
sought to deprive Columbia of the
right of Self-gOvernment. The bill
passed the House by a vote of 10
to 4.

Story of the "IOwd" Boiler
Ambitious athrOp Hall and Landed
Heap.

giant hold an argument with itself
| One of the men who came was c. D.
Marx of the University of Missouri
The boiler was in place. Pressure
was turned on. The hand on the
guage went slowly round. 1t reached
400 pounds to the square inch, 500
600, 700. Cautiously and carefully
/ it travelled. 1t reached 500, $40,
$50, and then just at S25 the boiler
began to leak-at the insurance end.
! The insurance company made good
| its promises. There was no more
use for the boiler and it was given
to Professor Marx for the University
of Missouri for the freight on it to
, Columbia.
At Columbia it was a wonder for
few days. Students examined 1t;
classes were shown the effects of the
pressure. In a. week or two all the
novelty had worn off and the hero
of day was rolled back of the
Mechanics Arts Building and left
there. 1t enjoyed respectable peace
for a while. Students sat on its
back when winter brought sunny
day. They told yarns and were
really good company. But at length
| it became the butt of jokes. On
Halloween these same students
formed a habit of rolling it up on
the campus.
Then, about four years ago Iowa
came to Columbia to play football
with Missouri. Iowa was defeated.
The question arose. How shall we
'celebrate?" The answer was, Roll
the old boiler up on the campus"
The rolling began. Hitherto the
boiler had always been good-natured.
But this was too much. A football
celebration was beyond self-re-
specting boiler. 1t broke loose on
the slope of the hill up which it had
to be rolled. The boiler started
straight for Lathrop Hall. The STU
dents stood breathless.
What will happen to the build
ing when the huge boiler hurls itself
against it," was the question they all
asked themselves but dared not
speak.
Trust the boiler. 1t fully intend
ed to smash LathrOp Hall, just as
it had intended not to burst when it
was subjected to the test and-it did
not carry out it's intentions. 1t
swerved and ran into tree.
The students hOoted at it. They
called it Iowa" Up on the campus
it went. straight for a flower bed in
front of Academic Hall. There they
buried it's great body with solemn
rites. This episode got the boiler in
high disfavor with the University
authorities. 1t was put back in its
place and the day before the next
Halloween the junk man took it
away. Now it is buried in old irons
with the sewing and the
baby carriage for companions.
