WHY SHOULDN'T SHE CACkLE?

In less than twelve years the Mis-
souri, hen could pay of the entire in
trrest bearing debt OF the United
States.
In one year she could leave the
University of Missouri an endowment
that would run the school for 80
years.
The Missouri hen could build in
one year twenty-One state capitOls
such as the state is 70 build at JEFF
fersOn City.
She could build highways across
the state in every direction.
In 1909 the value Of the poultry
products Of Missouri was S1J.Jo4.
415. This is the greatest poultry
state in the world. The Missouri hen
admits no peer of fowl or beast Her
cackle has drowned the bray of the
mule, the squeal of the pig, the low
ing of cattle She is the big IT.
The output of the Missouri hen for
three years would buy up all the
worldly wealth of John ID. ROckefel-

pieces of the worlds greatest ar

ranal in few years. Should she go

Against the HOnOrs system.
Also A. b.

Editor the MissOurian: The I-ni-
versity is contemplating the adoption
of what is called the "Honors Sys-
tenn. The system provides that stu
dents shall remain in the same classes
until their Junior year. then there
will be separation of the sheep from
the goats SO TO speak. Through the
two years before graduation the
student. who has previously shown
distinction will be separated from the
mediocre and pass student and al
lowed to graduate with hOnors.
whereas the pass student will gradu-
ate without characterization
On its face the proposition seems
fair. But if you think it over a little
you will come to the conclusion that
it is wrong in principle. 1t is rank
discrimination in favor of the few
reason than this. Our society is based
i'm its tendencies. 1t would be unwise
To adopt such a policy if for no other
reason for this. Our society is based
upon the fundamental principle of
equality. The .HOnOrs System" is
un air ID the mediocre student He is
due JUS! rs much recognition as the
stud":.t If nigh ability.
The adyG, ates of the system claim
that i; -, !, increase the scholarship
Of III" diversity. 1t might. but that
is not the prime purpose of the Uni-
verSity. Ii was not established to
turn out scholars but to train up men
for all around citizenship. Thus. the
system would prove inefficient be-
cause it would turn ont individual
stars. whereas the crying need of the
country is men who can become fac
tors in our cosmopolitan society.
If the system We're carried out fair
ly and to its logical conclusion there
would be a classification as broad as
the mental abilities of the students
1t would thus become exceedingly
cumbersome and unwieldly.
The small benefits weighed against
the fact that it would be unwise, in
efficient and impracticable do not
warrant its adoption in the Univer-
sity. Student

Viewpoints
The Five Years Course.

Editor the MssOurian: II will be
interesting TO note the various eff
fects of the introduction of the addi.
ltional TWO years entrance require
ments TO the professional schools
: This question might BE- gone into in
detail and results elsewhere investi-
gated. but there are several effects
which il is readily seen the ruling
( might bring about.
There is temporary effect as re-
CARDS the schools themselves. and
beThaps a permanent one. too. For
the first few years the attendance in
the professional schools will suffer
a decline as practically two classes
| will be cut out by the introduction of
/ this system all at once. But this will
soon be outgrown. The question is.
will il effect the attendance after the
first year or so? Ii stands TO reason
that il will for there is a limit TO the
amount each individual can spend in
getting an education as we'll as a
limit to the number of individ-
uals who can spend that much.
That is. there is a large number who
can spend $1,000 on college educa-
tion. but the number is less when the
cost is raised to 5000. If the rule
is not put into effect elsewhere will il
not be the natural thing for the pros
pectiye student To attend some other
institution particularly when he can
get a degree in less time and with
less expense.
When students as individuals is
considered the tendency should be
to raise the standard. Better equip
ped men will be turned out. This
will have its effect on the profession
as a whole, if the rule should be ap-
piled everywhere. otherwise the
change will only be noticed locally.
But what about the man who could
afford TO take four years course and
cannot take five? Is it fair to eX-
clude him from the roll of the prOfes-
sion he desires to take up because he
lacks enough college credit to enter?
He may be well educated, sufficiently
well. at least for all purposes. and
yet becal So he has not received cred
il in some school for a certain num-
Der of hours in a certain line of work
he is prevented from studying what
he is best fitted for. Were this pri-
vate institution the answer would be
evident, but it can hardly be called
right 10 exclude man on these
grounds when il IS considered that
this is state institution.

THE SOLIDARITY OF THE RACE.

Through the gradual process of de-
velopment, men begin to realize that
all races under the sun will some day
become one-One in a common I Id
of sympathy, interest and suffrE .ng.
A thousand years ago. small tribes,
existing by themselves. looked after
their own welfare. regardless of the
affiiction of their neighbOrs. In the
Middle Ages. there were thousands of
petty states in Europe, each trying to
exterminate the other. 1t was not
until the nineteenth century that
small states. knowing that union
is strength. We're united into one ma
ton. At present the spirit of democ-
racy and of internationalism becomes
the prominent characteristic of the
epoch.
of one nation means the suffering of
the whole world. that all countries
should be connected by one common
bond of sympathy and interest. and
that national crime as individual
crime should be viewed with diSap-
prOval for the reason that il will con-
taminate the world.
As family protects its weak men,
bers. so must the family of nations
protect its weak cOmpOnents. In
short. We must recognize the impor-
tance of the solidarity of the race.

4 Value Of Education.

The professor of shorthand ad-
duced this unanswerable argument in
an address to a new class the other
day:
We are told that il took Gray. au-
thor of the well-known 'Elegy in a
Country Churchyard.' seven years to
write that famous poem. If ne had
known stenOgraphy he could have
done it in seven minutes. We have
students who have done that same
poem III that same length of time. -
