THOSE EASTER HOLIDAYS.

Are those Easter holidays Yer.
inform appendix of the University
calendar? Some persons profess tO
believe that they are. That they are
not universally SO regarded is evil
dcnced by the fact that next year We
are to have an additional day.
Time was when mass meetings
were held. hot speeches were made,
strong editorials were printed in stu
dent papers-all because We had no
Easter holidays and certain students
believed their happiness and the fu-
ture prosperity of the University re-
pended upon getting Easter holidays.
Would the students willingly give
them up? Now and then one hears
a complaint that the Easter holidays
make the school term extend just so

The orators and authors who have
discussed the Easter holidays seem
to have overlooked one very impOr-
tant point-that of season. The
Easter holidays come just at time
when spring fever begins to get in its
deadly. work, at time when the
hoOkworm RACES rampant. at time
when nature calls one to go fishing
and the school room offers nothing
but toll. Easter holidays We're de-
signed for something broader and
more sublime than the display of new
millinery or a chance for the stu
dent to get in his delayed work.

A PEACE MOVE?

Opportunity for an interesting cur.
tailment of armamentS has beer
opened up by England. Winston
Churchill has announced that Eng.
land proposes to maintain navaI
supremacy of 60 per cent over Ger.
many. Not only has he made this
program public. but he has gone sc
far as to notify Germany that his
country will Immediately exceed al
the rate of eight to five any addi.
tions to the German navy.
Thus if Germany retrenches in
the building of dreadnoughts, Eng.
land will do the same. Now it is uI
to the German people. There can be
no doubt that the Englishman means
what he says. What Germany will
do is a problem. One faction wants
TO accept the opportunity to lessen
the military burden. while another
believes that even in the face of such
competition Germany can build up a
navy that even England could no,
destroy without serious sacrifice.

twenty-five years as teacher he was
considered eligible to receive the
benefits of the foundation. This was
changed two years ago. An age
limit was made the basis for grant
ing the pensions. A professor must
be more than G5 years old to receive
the pension.
The trustees of the fund do not
deal with individuals in distributing
the gifts. A pension is obtained
through the institution. There are
certain requirements that are de-
manded of an institution before it
can be placed on the approved list so
its teachers may receive the benefits
of tn fund. These regulations are
along the line of educational stand
ards, plan of government and endOw-
ment. Before the institution is
placed on the list a thorough study
of its educational value as a moral
and intellectual influence is made.
Its financial resources, equipment
and standards of academic work are
considered. This approved list now
includes seventy-twO universities,
The income for the foundation for
last year was $4,000. The endOw-
ment then had reached a total of
1912. 1913 900. This comprises Mr..

EASTER.

The coming of spring has always
been hailed with joy, as it is today.
Long before the advent of Christ the
appearance OF spring was celebrated
by several days of feasts, boist rOus
sports. rites. ceremonies and pagan
debauchcry. This was the Easter sea-
son, the celebration to the goddess
OF spring.
When the Christian church was es-
tablished. it attempted to give
Christian significance to pagan GUS
toms it could not control. From the
church's endeavOr to direct the cere-
monies in honor of the goddess of
spring, develop d the modern Obser-
vation of Easter day, to which still
cling many of the notions of pagan
ism and the ceremonies suggestive of
those that took place at Easter fes-
tivals thousands of years ago. The
church fortunately had i day which
it could substitute for the pagan Eas-
ter
The churchS plan was to trans
form the celebration to the goddess
of spring to one commemOrating the
resurrection of Christ. which occur
red at the Easter season. In this
way the church hoped that the joy
at the awakening of nature might be-
come JOY resulting from the rising
of the Sun of Righteousness. -

Joy because of the resurrection OF
Christ from the grave.

JOY because VI tHc iSouiiS>eioh VI
Christ from the grave.
For a long time the Easter cele-
bration was not held on Sunday. 1t
took place at the same time as that
Of the Jewish Passover. But this
time was finally rejected in the West
on the ground that the resurrection
took place on Sunday following the
passover and therefore the event
should be commemOrated on Sunday.
After much controversy it was de-
cided that the Sunday most nearly
coinciding with the resurrection
would be the one next following the
first full moon on or after March 21;
this day should be perpetuated as
Easter Sunday.
That Easter is of pagan origin is not
a well-founded argument against the
observance of the day. The church
had the right idea in trying to di-
rect what it could not control. Even
if Easter did not formerly cOmmem-
crate the resurrection of Christ,
that is no reason why it should not
do so today.

The Gift of a Steel King

II have reached the conclusion
that the least rewarded of all the
professions is that of the teacher IN
our higher educational institutions
New York generously, and very WISE
ly, provides retiring pensions for
teachers in her public schools
Very few of our colleges and univer-
stiles are able to do SO. The con-
sequences of such action are griey-
Gus. Able men hesitate to adopt
teaching as career, and many old
professors, whose places should be
occupied by younger men, cannot be
retired.
So wrote Andrew Carnegie, seven
years ago. in establishing a general
pension fund for retired professors
of colleges and universities of North
America. With these words Mr.
Carnegie set in motion an Organiza.

| race, sex, creed or color are made
in regard to granting the pensions
| Twenty-Five trustees chosen by Mr.
Carnegie have charge of the fund
The foundation is for $40. 900 900 il
per cent first mortgage bonds Of

The revenue from the fund goes tt
provide the retiring pensions under
conditions that have been adopted
by the trustees.
When the foundation was frs,
started no provisions We're made fOl
universities, colleges or technical
schools maintained by states. About
1908 many of the state institutions
in this country requested that the
benefits of the foundation be extend
ed to them. Mr.. Carnegie added
5000. 900 to the fund and included
them in the list of institutions that
came under the gift This last
amount is being paid in installments
of S1,00O,OOO.
That was how the University of
Missouri was placed on the list of
approved institutions. Five retired
professors from this institution are
receiving the benefits of the yearly
pnsiOn. They are DR.. r. II. Jesse,
DR.. John r. Scott, DIR. f. A. Allen,
DIR. Andrew W. McAlester and Prof.
NJ. l.. Lipscomb. DR.. Paul Schweit-
zer, who died last year, also received
a pension.
When the foundation was started
the trustees decided that the pen
siOns would be distributed according
to the time of service of the profess
sors. After a professor in any of

Of FATAL DRUG

by Headache Remedy Got
Poison From Him.

DR.. T. H. Cox. a druggist at 905 Ma

of morphine, which resulted last night
in the death at Grady hospital of e. j.

was sold by any Of his clerks.
DIR. Cox declares no morphine was
sold in his drug store Saturday, and
says he easily will clear himself Of the
charges. DR. Cox is under bond, pend
ing the hearing.
The poison is said to have been pur-
chased for Bannister by a negro wom-
an. to whom he complained of having
severe headache and who told him she
could get him a remedy which would
bring instant relief. Shortly before his
death Bannister told members of his
family the negro woman returned with
a powder and he swallowed it. This
was the fatal morphine dose, he said
So far, the negro woman has not been
taken into custody. but search is being
made for her.
Bannister took the poison Saturday
afternoon. Physicians say his life might
have been saved had it not been for
the. muddy, almost impossible condi-
