THE SEASON OPENS TOMORROW

few minutes before the call for
play.
Denver News: Hank Olmstead
looks like the probable choice for
the opening game of the season
with Lincoln, Friday OF all of
the staff, the premier twirler is
in the best shape, his speed and
control surprising even those
who know him best.
Fans familiar with the history
of the Denver club know that
until last year Olmstead was the
leading twirler of the circuit. In
1911 he did not report until July,
and it was late in August before
he hit into his clip.
This year he is in top form
right now and an impartial sur
vey of his work in the past two
weeks points to him as the log
zeal leader of the league in 1912,
with his own team mates as his
chief rivals.

The first game of the
season will be played tomor-
row at the League Park -
Topeka VS.. Wichita.

The management of the To-
peka club has gathered together
a splendid lineup of snappy
young athletes who have played
good ball with the Topeka club
before or with some of the other
leagues on a par with the
Western.
Just how the lineup of the
team will be remains to be an
nounced when the umpire calls
the game tomorrow. The various
players and their relative posi-
lions are indicated on these two

Editor the MiSOuriaG: Would it
embarrass the faculty of the Cniver-
sity of Missouri if the legislators
would ask it, ARE you developing
cultured graduates" Ii would pro-
badly be more embarrassing and
none the less legitimate. if they
were to ask the University if it could
produce a little more culture for the
money.

atiOns show decided preference for

Very often, the question arises
concerning the efficiency of instruct
Ors. but it has been found that the
instructor is not wholly to blame for
his inefl!ciency The methods laid
down by the heads of the depart
ments are often at fault.
The students in the School of
Journalism, the School of Law and
the College of Arts and Science
sometimes feel the need, and often
times the lack of advanced training
in English but that department is
so full of required work incident to
the courses that students are re-
PEELED from. rather than attracted
towards it. The average freshman
| who has felt the scar of the two and
three hour courses rarely has the
courage to undertake advanced
work in the department.
Similar conditions have been in
vestigated by committee from the
| University of Chicago, which visited
and studied six of the leading uni
versities of the United States. The
committee found that students were
being graduated who were really de-
ficient in real education. simply be-
cause they had been pressed so hard
that they assimilated but little OF
the work they had done. Some were
actually kept ont of work they de-
sired to take simply because of the

AUNION OF 48 STATES.

With the beginning OF 1912, the
United States is homogeneous ma
tiOn of As states, each state ac-
knOwledging a common bond with
the others but each a self govern
ing commonwealth.
Ari ona and New Mexico are the
baby states in the national sister
hood. They are the last of the ter
ritOries lying within the boundaries
of the United States proper to be-
come states with equal privileges of
statehood. Only the District of Co
lumbia is now governed directly
from Washington.
Whether Alaska, the Philippines
and our island possessions later be-
come full fiedged states. remains to
be seen. For some time to come
there seems to be no prospect that
the number of As states will be in
creased.

A MISSOURI PEACE ASSOCIATION

The colleges of Pennsylvania
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin have organized state peace
associations. The University of Mis-
souri, is asked to take leadership in
organizing such an association in
this commonwealth.
Workers for universal peace pro-
pose to organize in every state and
form these associations into ma
tiOnal association. Local OratOrical
contests will be held each year, the
winner representing his college in a
state contest; state representatives
will then meet in a national contest
each year at different colleges. All
Orations must treat in some way of
world peace.
University students should accept
this leadership. The six states al
ready organized give the movement
stability. The preparation of ora
tions upon universal peace will give
all students some knowledge, and
those who wish to contest extensive
knowledge upon a great world issue.
Then there is opportunity worth
while in meeting the best speakers
of every state. Peace considerations
aside, a national association of col
lege men will do much toward bind
ing the national into one brother
hood. 1t will solve other problems.
World peace is worthy the leader

1t is still fashionable to say that
Dickens could not draw woman.
One often hears, too, that he never
drew a gentleman. and sometimes
that he never drew a real man. III.
Snowden Ward. drifting in Lippin-
citt's, admits that IN q sense all this
is true. "Dickens's peOple-when he
took especial trouble with them
were sketches of qualities rather
than complete portraits of individ-
uals, and he carried his characteriza-
ton into caricature. AS George Will
liams Curtis wisely said IN one of
his lectures. if a man had a remark
able nose. Dickens mentioned it, de-
scribed it. dwelt upon it. and became
possessed by it, until the character
became almost entirely nose" But

Bacon wrote. "Of the making OF
books there is no end" When one
goes through the general library at
the University of Missouri and sees
the thousands of books neatly and
Systematically arranged on the long
rows of shelves, he begins to realize
the truth of this statement. And
when he realizes that the books here
are only drop in the sea as COM
pared to the vast number of books in
existence, the fact is impressed on
his mind with greater force.
In the library at the University of
Missouri are books of every descrip-
tion. books old. new. rare, large,
small and variously bound. Many of
these books are very old and very
rare. For instance there is copy
of BoccacciO's DecamerOn that was
published in Florence in 1921. This

secondhand book store in Paris. 1t

J. Taylor EllysOn. lieutenant govern

Musical Conductors,

It is significant fact that most Of the
great conductors have spent their ap-
prentice years in mastering some solo
instrument which they have used as a
stepping stone to the broader and ulti-
mate work of conducting an orchestra.
Arthur Nikisch was at the beginning
of his career violinist in the royal
orchestra at Vienna; Richard Strauss
made his formal debut not only as
leader Of the Meininger orchestra, but
as pianist also. playing concerto by
Mozart. Felix Weingartner, DR.. Muck,
Emil Paur, Rothwell and Oberhoffer
were first pianists of distinction before
becoming conductors. This list could
also be carried back to Hans Won Bu-
low. the prince of pianists and con-
ductors. and to Felix Mendelssohn. who
inaugurated the famous Gewandhaus
concerts
