So many expenses had come to the
family that year that when June
rolled around, Mary's graduation
from high school loomed up very
large. There was the gold class pin
and the year book; Mary really want
ed both to keep in after years. Then
an assessment for the class gift to
the school had to be paid, and her
share for the hay ride and supper
must be met.
Father looked grave and mother
openly worried. The twins were to
graduate from the elementary school
at the same time, doctors bills had
to be paid, and altogether the ex-
penses were more than the head of
the house could afford.
Mary's mother had slaved over her
graduation dress; it was simple but
neat and girlish. The girl did not
complain about it, but in her heart
she knew that hers would be the
plainest of all the girls dresses. She
felt a little bit touched when she
saw her older sister retrimming her
last years hat in order that Mary
might carry bouquet of flowers as
the other girls did.
The girls parents were very con-
tent and happy for they had met all
the demands of her high school grad
uation. Many sacrifices had been
made. but Mary looked so sweet and
pretty that they both felt it had
been worth it.
AS they sat listening to Orations,
essays and musical numbers, Mary's
mother was dimly conscious that a
great many of the girls wore elab-
crate dresses and carried larger bou-
quets than her daughter had. She
could see sparkling necklaces and
pins worn by the graduates-gifts
from their parents. no doubt, and
suddenly it came upon her that she
had given her daughter no gradu-
alton present.

Simplicity in COn1n1encementS

I Somehow the day was spoiled for
her. Her mother love wanted her
own child to have as much as other
,, children. The contrast was too great.
Time was when just these things
happened. A few years ago high
school graduation meant a great ex-
jpense to the family-a deep drain on
the pOcketbOOk. Even when the sac
rifice was made, the contrast be-
tween the pupils was noticeable. .
The old order has changed. Sim
plicity is now the keynote to all high
school cOmmencements. The girls
wear simple dresses, often making
them themselves; the purchasing of
class pin is not essential, and the
bouquet of flowers has been relegat-
ed to the past. The boys often buy
new suit of clothes, but as often an
old suit is made to do.
The former custom of having each
student in the class deliver an essay
or an OratiOn-tO a sleepy audience
has given place to the new way,
that of having a. few short, bright es-
says and filling the program with
music, and lots of it.
At the University High School
there is no display. The majority of
the students are not residents of Co.
lumbia; their relatives and friends
can not be present at their gradua-
tion. so a display would be useless.
The same simplicity, although not to
so great a degree, is observed at the
Columbia High School. The girls
frequently make their own dresses
and not much expense is attached to
graduation from either high school.
People are beginning to realize
that public schools stand for simpli-
city, and they cannot emphasize this
fact in any better way than by de-
manding that high school commence
ments shall be as free from expense
as possible. w. L.

THE MILL TAX

The mill tax is to come up again
this fall. 1t will rest upon broader
basis this time by including all the
state schools. The interest this year
should be more widespread and the
support stronger.
Probably the fact that we have not
heard much about it is due to the To-
cation of the headquarters of the
movement in Jefferson City. But this
is no reason why We should not work
for it Just the same. Possibly many
cannot aid in just the way they did
the last time, but there is still a
great opportunity to do good by ex-
planning what the tax means to the
state.

DISTRIBUTING IMMIGRANTS.

One of the big questions connect
ed with Americas immigration prob
lem is how to distribute the newcOm-
ers to parts of the country where
they are needed. A large majority
of the 100000 or more southern
Italians, Greeks, Slavs and northern
Europeans who come to America an
nually seek the city.
Instead of being needed in the city
and in the industrial centers to
which they flock. the real openings
for them are in the agricultural dis
tricts, with the life of which they are
more or less familiar. It is with a
view of aiding in movement to
change the course of the immigrants
that NJ. J. Kahn has given $4,000
acres in New Jersey for distribu-
tion among the immigrants of the
congested districts of New York City.
According to the terms of Mr..
Kahn's two and One-half million dol
lar gift, no immigrant will be per-
mitted to gain the ownership of his
ten-acre tract, but he may obtain a
long time lease. Thus corruption
will be checked at the start. In ad-
dition the philanthropist plans to ad-
vance money to those who have not
sufficient funds to get to their new
homes. and if necessary to build the
homes for them.
While Mr. Kahn's experiment will
aid only about 1900 of the many
needy immigrant families, it will
nevertheless throw much light on the
question of immigrant distribution.

COLUMBIA SHOULD VOTE DRY.

(OLt MBIA SHOVLD tOlE Dh1.
There are one hundred and one
good reasons why every town should
vote dry. There is one other reason
why Columbia should vote dry. 1t
is a more potent reason than all the
others taken together. 1t is because
the people of Missouri believe that
Columbia should be a dry town.
The main business of Columbia is
education. There are more than
5000 students at the University of
Missouri every year and several
hundred young women at the two
colleges for girls. These young
men and women come from homes
in every section of the state. They
have done and are doing more fol Co.
lumbia than any other force or than
all other forces combined. The
schools at Columbia not only make
of this the best business town in tae
state but they advertise the town as
no other town in Missouri has ever
been advertised.
1t is useless to allege that the peo-
pie of Missouri do not care how the
election in Columbia June 4 is going
to go. Newspapers from every sec
ton of the state are commenting on
the coming election here. Without
exception these papers say Columbia
should vote dry. Some go farther.
They say Missouri expects Columbia
to go dry and the legislature will
want to know why, if it does not.
Perhaps this is putting matters a lit
tie strong but it shows the sentiment
over the state. Many of these news
papers are published in wet towns.
