HE DIED POOR.

Rear Admiral Evans died poor, as
far as wealth is concerned, but he
died rich in honors. He was for
getful of self and mindful only of his
country's honor"
He seemed to have cared nothing
for wealth, for after his retirement
he refused to sell his name to a pri-
vate corporation at s25, 1000 annually,
because he wasn't sure that that was
the right thing for a retired admiral
to do. He valued the honor of his
country above money.
Few are the public men who are as
untainted as was Evans. 1t is true
that he left a widow poor and that
she will be only too glad to receive
the government pension of $50 a
week; but he left a good name which
will live on and on in the hearts of
American youths.

COLONEL HUNTERS TALK.

Not all addresses of the men
brought to the University to speak
before the students are both educa-
tional and inspiratiOnal, but Col.
William c. Hunters may justly be
given this distinction. He lust
talked" but it was the kind of talk
that gives the student something to
think about and something to re-
member.
There was no high sounding ora
tory in what he said. He had mes
sage and he told it simply, yet elo-
quently. The principles of success
he pointed out are the kind eagerly
sought after by youth. He touched
responsive chords as few assembly
speakers do.

position without giving it due con-
sideratiOn. however. The proposal
which has been made to construct a
system of several parks with boule-
ward along the Hinkson is open to
criticism on two points. In the first
place it may be little too large an
undertaking, while in the second
place the University has pressing fl
nancial needs which would not per-
nit the expenditure of a consider
able sum for its share of the bOule-
ward.
One who has had experience in the
planning of parks has suggested that
the two blocks north and northeast
of the courthouse be used for civic
center. There are no large buildings
in either block For a large park he
suggests that the land now used for
pasture along the Missouri. Kansas
and Texas tracks south of Stewards
Bridge be used. Excellent drives a
mile or more in length could be laid
out along the hills at small expense

A GREAT WEEK FOR MISSOURI.

A GREAT WEEK FOR MISSOURI.
All things save the weather Joined
to make more auspicious the welcome
which Columbia and the University
extended to the farmers. The strong
est evidence of the progressiveness of
Missouri farmers is that a goodly
number of them came to Farmers
Week, despite the bitter cold-that
they could leave their farms at such
a time.
The University, through it's Agri-
cultural College, renders the people
no greater service than it does dur
ing Farmers Week. The farmers
could attend series of lectures, ev-
cry day, upon any subject in which
they were specially interested; a
home-makers' conference was added
for the women.
The coming together of hundreds
of men with a definite purpose was
no small inspiration to the farmers
themselves, to the University in
structOrs, and, most of all. to the
students here. The week will do
much toward increased profits and
more happiness on the farm. These
men better appreciate the needs of
their over-crOwded University.
For Columbia, for the University,
for the farmers, it was a great week.

In line with the awakening of pub.
lie conscience in regard to it's health
responsibilities is the establishment
of chairs by different states in their
medical institutions for the study of
preventive medicine.
Harvard has maintained a depart
ment of this nature for several years,
but only recently have such states as
Missouri, Pennsylvania, Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin seen suffi-
cient need for beginning such work.
That Missouri has taken it up is
indicative of her standing as a Uni
versity. At its inception here only
its popular side will be handled; la
ter the technical nature of preven-
tives will be introduced.
That good may be derived popular
ity must be sought The one course
now outlined, that of elementary hy-
giene, is especially prepared for med
ical students, students in the School
of Education and to journalists.
Teachers who are properly accounted
with the weapons for fighting condi-
tiOns that propagate disease will go
out from the University into widely
separated regions. carrying with
them these germs of thought for the
eradication of unhealthful condi-
tiOns.
In the newspaper worker it is
hoped to meet the mOulder of public
opinion and originator of campaigns
for the public health. 1t is every
where understood that upon the at
titude of the press toward any new
or worthy move rests it's success or
failure.
And what is needed in this cam
paign for prevention of disease is
publicity. Then, through the now
