The Colds Wardrobe

The new spring styles, so far as
they are fixed as yet, seem designed
with the needs of the college girl
especially in mind. for they are very
much the same as those of last sum-
mer. For this she may be duly CRATE
full, for who, in the pursuit of the
higher education-and other things
at college has time to spend at o
dressmaker's or to travel home for
reinforcements? This year she may
wear her last summers things, at
least until the close of school, and be
perfectly comfortable and up-to-date.
Skirts still are narrow and paneled,
and waists are collarless and short
sleeved as usual Even the kimono
sleeve is still in good style, although
many of the new models are showing
a set-in sleeve with very slight full
ness. The big armhole continues. But
even though styles are the same in
the main, there are several new
touches here and there or Dame FASH
ion would not be living up to her pre-
cedents. Among the new frocks shown
by Columbia shops is one very quaint
and inexpensive that is sure to meet
with popular approval. 1t is basket
linen trimmed only with covered but
tons and cuffs, collars and reveres Of
Turkish toweling! Another dainty
dress of cotton voile has the new
round collar, a wide, fiat circular lace
collar unadorned by frill or bow at
the throat. 1t is excellent style but
must be very trying to most faces and
figures. Most of the new models have
narrow, plated peplums, below belts
of everything from lace to patent
leather.
And speaking of lace, If you
haven't reached the bottom of grand
mothers trunk as yet, delve deep into
it this spring. for nothing will be
complete without lace, soft frilly lace,
lace berthas and scant lace rufies.
Everything is rather severe and
straigft-lined this spring, but for
that matter nothing is more graceful
than soft material falling in clinging
lines. Hats, too. show little fussiness.
Feminine hearts still cling to the
flower hat or turban for early
spring as the most delicate and
spring-like. Other hats show little
that is new. Only the sailor, which
made a timfd appearance this win
ter. is bravely coming forth for

Viewpoints
On Forcing School Attendance.


Editor the Missourian: In the
Missourian for Thursday, Feb. Is,
appeared an article headed in bold
faced type: "Placed Fifty in School
County Commissioner is Enforcing
the Attendance Law"
l presume that most readers of
the news item were impressed with
the idea that now Boone county is
awakening to the sense of the value
of an education and of the enforce
ment of law by the county officials.
Fifty boys and girls compelled to go
to school; many parents fined for
violating the state law! True, the
safety of a nation and the strength
of community rests largely upon
the education of its people and the
enforcement of its laws.
On the other hand: the situation
wherever the Compulsory Attend
ance Law is enforced reminds one of
the adage, "You can drive q horse
to water, but you can't make him
drink" Compulsory attendance is
not synonymous with compulsory ed
ucation School officials who enforce
this civil law are then under RESPONSE
bility to higher moral law-to the
effect that the school must provide
what Is suitable and economical for
those attending. Too frequently the
emptiness Of the 'studies'' and the
pedantry in school management justi-
fies the boy in acting upon the idea
that activity ut home IL more edu-
cative than inactivity at school. Ere
very many years are over school work
will be such that boys and girls will
go to school. not be sent, or sen
fenced.
Do not censure too hastily your
neighbor or his boy for falling VIC
tim to this law.

The Story the Grades Tell

I, Three thousapd come to Columbis
ievery year on the same search. Theil
quest is for knowledge. factory
knowledge. If you please higher
college education.
This product is not marketable az
other factory-made stuff. The pay.
ment of cash is necessary. but that
does not mean q transfer of stock
it only gives the person q chance to
get share by his own initiative. The
amount Of knowledge he gets de-
pends upon his ability to receive
what is offered.
Every year new seekers arrive and
many never return. But one year at
this knowledge factory does not mean
that a man can get a large supply.
Repeated visits are necessary. Many
fall by the way during the first year
because they can not hold the pace
demanded for searchers of know
ledge. In the second and third years
fewer drop from the searchers. After
the fourth year the majority are
willing to leave and seek a place in
the world to make use of the product
obtained. A small number desire an
extra supply.
The amount of knowledge each
person obtains is recorded. This does
not mean that it can be told exactly
what each man received in the terms
of dollars and cents, but the records
of the dispensers give a fair idea of
what each man got for himself. They
reckon by hours.
The record of a house of men-a
representative club house-shows
that those who repeat the quests
gain during the later years. Those
who have come for the first and sec
ond time show that, they are not
adept at getting their supply.
At the particular house at which
the grades were gathered, two men,
both OF whom had spent four years
at the factory and had obtained an
A. B. degree, gained more than six
hours the first semester Of this ses-
sion above the average amount OBJ
tanned. A man does fairly well to
get the number of hours for which
he signs. Some lose; the better get
more. One Of these men il q student
in the School of Law and the other is
seeking degree from the School Of
Comparing the grades of these two
men with the grades Of the fourth
year men, it is shown that the grad.
uate students obtained more for the
energy spent. The seniors gained
credit without a man falling below
the average mark. The juniors,
men, could not hold up the
record. Two of the six juniors
gained, but four lost part of their
normal share, which lowered the av-
erage Of the class. The sophomores,
with only one man gaining extra
credit. two making normal and three
falling short, showed that the second
year man had not completely mas
tered the art of studying. Not a !
lirst-year man passed the medium

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.

Are you a thief? Perhaps you re-
sent the imputation. You have new
er taken money which was not right
ly yours. You are indignant at the
suggestion that you would cheat for
grades, or that you would take a
mean advantage on the athletic
field.
Have you ever robbed man or wo-
man of good name? You resent the
insinuation that idle gossip has num-
bered you among its votaries of scan
dalmongering.
But have you ever wasted the time
of your friends? Do you sit idly by
gossiping when there is work you
might do? If minutes are the thing
out of which character is built, then
is not their waste a robbery of char
acter? Is the man who does less
than his dead level best for individ-
ual efficiency and the service of his
fellows less than a thief?
How many young men and women
in the University of Missouri have
you robbed this year?
Thou shalt not steal!

A NEW LIABILITY MEASURE

A NEW LIABILITY MEASURE
The new liability act, which has
been proposed to Congress by spec.
ial commission that investigated the
matter is a long step in the direc-
tion in which public opinion has been
so long pointing. The bill is worthy
of the high compliment which Presi-
dent Taft paid it. He said that it
was the greatest step of progress to-
ward settling the disputes between
employers and employees which has
been proposed in the last two or three
decades.
1t no longer makes the employe of
public service corporations, the sole
victim of his misfortunes as did the
old common law. 1t eliminates the
assumed risks and the fellow ser
want" doctrines of other days. 1t
substitutes for these the responsible
ity of industry and says the whole
society owes immediate compensation
to the injured and relief to the de-
pendents of those who are killed in
public service. 1t puts the matter not
upon the charitable basis, as hereto
fore, but it acknowledges an obliga-
tion.
This social obligation to compen-
safe persons injured in hazardous oc-
pations has long been looked for by
the working man. 1t will be a great
thing for the poor working man and
his family. 1t does not close the ave-
nue. to the courts. But it in a meas
ure removes the incentive for appeal
ing to the courts. This will do away
with much of the expense that the
poor man often has to put up with
when he goes to the courts.
In removing the matter from the
courts a scale of compensation is
fixed by the law, the process becomes.
mer-ly one of inqriring into the facts
of the injury. To elimiante any oc-
casion for resorts to the court, the
bill provides for a joint arbitration
committee of the employer and the
employe to adjust the settlement.

spring wear. This jaunty hat has a
fiat, broad crown and a straight
brim. Unlike the older tailored sal
lor, its band is usually of some gay
hued ribbon. Big ribbon bows
adorn most of the spring hats, a con-
tinuation of last summers ribbon
furore.
