and those students who leave the Uni
versity without the natural interest
in world affairs which the course
stimulates, are neglecting a very i'm
portant part of a broad education.
What appeals to me especially in
the course is that our reading is done
from present-day writers on modern
subjects. 1t is not like so many other
courses-a series Of studies in musty
volumes concerning the cause of the
downfall of Rome, or the political con-
ditions which resulted in the rise of
Napoleon l to imperial power These
are we'll enough in their place, but
we must remember that we are pres
ent-day men and women and should
be interested in present-day things.
1t is because of this then that | be-
lieve this course, which was only
started as an experiment, should be
made a regular course in the college
curriculum beginning with the next
semester. B.

WHAT THANKSGIVING MEANS
The Custom of Returning Thanks For Nature's
Blessings Dates Back to Ancient
Times
IlneS.

claimed in England upon special oc-
casions. Even during the Common
wealth under Cromwell more than
one hundred feast days were observed
in the course of the year. These GUS
toms shocked the austere souls OF TIE
Puritans. but when they fled to Hol-
land they grew used to the more re-
ligious fast and feast days of the
Dutch. And so, being in the blood of
Americas first settlers, the custom
reappeared early in our land.
The First American Festival.
The first authentic harvest festival
in America was held by the Pilgrims
in 1921. The settlers, although few
in number in the beginning, had de-
creased ever more during the winter
on account of sickness and suffering
from the cold. When spring came
bounteous Nature bestowed on these
people her wonderful gifts and the
new land yielded them many things.
When they saw the goodness of Ma
ture they gathered together to give
thanks. This giving of thanks spread
and deepened until it was proclaimed
a national holiday by the President
and the governor of each state. Per-
haps the spirit has never been more
happily expressed than by George
Washington in his Thanksgiving pro-
clamation of 1889.
Today in China the people hold
their harvest festivals as well as in
Europe and America. China cele-
brates a harvest festival which comes
on the fifteenth night or the full moon
according to the old Chinese calen-
dar. 1t is called the Tswoong Tsieu.
The people of Japan hold their an
nual harvest festival about the last
Of October and call it Kammamesai
Tamesai. The Korean harvest cele-
bration is called Gamsiajel and also
comes in the autumn. The modern
Jewish festival, called the Succoth,
begins on October 1 and lasts for sew
eral days. A little temporary house
is built in which the Jews gather for
celebration and thanksgiving.

THE COUNTY FARM DOCTOR

Agriculture is the growing industry
in America. In recent years, the
strides towards greater efficiency in
the cultivation of soils and in caring
for crops have been marvellous. But
it is only a forecast of still greater
Development in this line. The farmer
has come to realize that in order to
raise the largest crops, his soils must
be kept rich and productive. His corn
and wheat must be pure-bred. the
same as his stock. to bring the most
on the market. This awakening of
the farmer has opened a new profess
sion. that of farm doctor.
The farm doctor prescribes for the
soil and the growing grain the same
as the allopathic or homeopathic doc
tor prescribes for the human body.
He advises the farmers, individually
and collectively, as to the best meth
ods of cultivating their farms; points
out troubles and prescribes remedies;
gives practical demonstrations in
crop rotation. soil building and farm
management.
The farmers of one county in 1li-
nois pay their farm doctor $500
year. He is an expert, former en-
ploye in the department of soils in
the Agricultural College of the Uni
versity of Illinois. This farm doctor
purposes to plat every farm in his
county, and to have a complete his
tory of each one. together with a
soil analysis His headquarters are

Rufns With No Sentiment

Editor the Missourian: Almost two
years have passed since the Mechan-
les Arts Building burned. Today 1t
stands almost as it was the morning
after the fire. A temporary roof was
put over the front of the building but
it seems that it will be permanent.
Occasionally when some other Uni
versity building needs a few brick,
they are taken from the back part.
1t is good to have the Columns
stands as a relic of the old University.
They are a decoration to the campus.
However, it would hardly have been
so pleasant to have all the ruins OF
the u,d school left. Why. then, do we
have to Sec every day the same old
burned building that has been un-
touched for two years: H. b.

The New Course in Politics.

Editor the Missourian: This semes-
ter a new system of teaching has been
started in the University along with
course listed for the first time in the
catalogue.
This new course on contemporary
politics is the political science depart
ment and is under the direction of
Prof. w. ]. Shepard. He is peculiarly
fitted to direct the course, as he has
studied many of the conditions he de-
scribes at first hand: and has also
studied under some of the leading
professors in Europe, where the pro-
fessors have more influence in mold
ing governmental policy than here.
His system of teaching is especially
effective. as it is principally a lecture
course, but his lectures are supple
mented by interesting outside reading
in current literature and the daily
newspapers. 1t is as wide in its scope
in reviewing the interests of the
world today as seems possible to me,

in the county court house. There Is.
in addition to his own Office, a large
meeting room, a library containing
several hundred books on agriculture,
a rest room for the farmers wives, a
large playground for the children and
completely equipped agricultural
laboratory.
Arrangements are being made with
the national government to have do
nestle science made a part of the
activities of the farm bureaus, which
are organizing throughout the coun-
try. This work is to be in charge
of competent women, who shall make
individual study of home life in the
country and act as adviser to the
farmers wives as the farm doctor to
the farmers.
County farm doctors are at work
in about three hundred counties in
the country, according to a report of
the United States Council of Grain
Exchanges. The movement is taking
root in Missouri. The short courses
for both men and women which are
given at the University are assisting
in this work. The large number en-
rolling or becoming interested in
these courses shows that farmers are
readily taking up with the expert
idea. In the next few years there
will be a great demand for county
farm doctors.

Viewpoints
Grade GrafterS.

Editor the Missourian: Some stu
dents are grade crazy. The letters E
and S are among the greatest things
in the world to them. They are so
afraid they will not make extra credit
in their courses that they spend about
five minutes after every class hour
with the professor, using giggles and
many trumped-up questions to "get
on the good side of him" This prac-
tice would be sickening enough were
it seen in the elementary school.
1t seems there should be a faculty
rule against these braZen attempts
for grades. They are but little less
disgusting to the sensible sufferers in
the class than cheating in examina-
tions. Both are done for the same
purpose. H.
