An Expert Opinion.

There is no better example among
Missouri papers of what good edi'
torial page should contain than tnat
furnished by the daily University
Missourian at Columbia. 1t is prac-
tical textbook on that subject which
many good editors could study WITH
profit. The Missouri papers contain
many good editorial pages. then
there are a good many we'll written
but narrow in their scope. 1t is the

TIPPING.

Tipping is paying a person to dc
something for which some one else
has already paid him or guarantees
to pay him. For example. a waiter in
restaurant is paid for his services
by his employer. However, unless
the tip is forthcoming the waiter is
slow to serve the customer and when
he does so the customer is sighted; !;
that is. the customer who does not tip
but pays the same ash ed price for din
ner as the one who does. is not Civ
en- the same service or even the same
quality of food for his money. Tip
ping thus becomes a form of extor-
ton. One pays the proprietor his
price and they pays the prOprietOr's
help another price before he can get
what he has bought
Ii is said that some employers eX-
pect their employees to make their
wages in tips. These employees are
given nothing but the privilege of eX-
tOrting money from customers. Such
business principles. or rather lack of
business DrinciDleS are TO he con-
demned. When goods are bought
and for the price paid delivery is
guaranteed, it is not right that the
purchaser should be compelled to
again pay a third person for the de-
livery of these goods.

Some preachers mis-cOnceive the

Now if the reader will grant
that school statistics indicate
prosperity. he will also grant
that Columbia must have pros.
pered during its dry period. And
that gives reason why this dry state
should be continued. For one thing
it has kept the little boys and girls
where they should be. at school. and
has not thrown them out on the com
mercial world, looking for jobs. dis
placing elders. and dwarfing their
own mental and physical growth.
For them alone, Columbia should
vote dry. 1t is duty that it owes to
its children.

WHAT SCHOOL. FACTS SHOW.

One of the most reliable indica-
tions as to the general prosperity of
city are its school statistics. And
it is plain why they should be. Aside
of the total enumeration of children.
which is more question of child
mortality than anything else. the to-
tai enrolment at the schools. as COM
pared to the total enumeration gives
an excellent idea of how many faith
ers are able to keep their children a;
school. and do not need their little
assistance in earning the family's liv-
ing expense. So here the truth or
falsity of the argument that COlum-
bia has depressed in prosperity dur
ing its dry period may. to some eX-
tent be investigated.
Columbia voted dry in 1905. and
at the school year ending 1909, ap-
proximately one year after Columbia
went dry. the total enumeration of
children of school age. 6 to 20 years,
was 2,495. The total enrolment at
the various schools for the same
period was .654. an approximate per
centage of Sc. This was but a slight
increase over 1908 when the town
was still wet. But notice the other
figures. For the school year ending
in 1910. out of a total enumeration
of 1851. the total enrolment was
1.742, an increase of per cent. The
figures for 1911 have not yet been Of
fcially published. but those for 1912
have been compiled to date by w. ID.
Boone. of the School Extension SOcie-
ty, and are reliable. The total enum-
Grafton is 2.415. and of these the to-
tai school enrolment is 1924. This
brings the percentage up to 80. AS
can be seen. 49l children are left to
be accounted for. OF those approx
mately 100 are at the University. 80
at the University High School. both
of which are not included in the to-
tai enrolment figures. and 81 are
privileged to work. This swells the
number to 2,I3S. OF the remaining
277. the majority are more than l6

In the Herrin (IllinOis) News. of
which Hal w. TrOvilliOn is editor, the
leading editorial says:
1t was our pleasure last week to
slip away from business for a few
days and cross over into the state of
Missouri where in the pretty little
city of Columbia at the University
of Missouri one of the innovations of
the present enlightened century was
held an occasion called Journalism
Week.
They have at that progressive state
institution of learning department
in which they train young men and
women for all the departments of
newspaper work from the science of
advertising to the various depart
ments that have to do with the edi-
torial work and with printing and the
running of successful country news
paper shop as we'll. AS an editorial
writer for Golfers Weekly recently
remarked upon visit to this school
of journalism. Whole heartedly Mis-
souri, has pitched into the business of
furnishing an education for writer's
as thorough and as technical as that
given to engineers. physicians. den-
fists. teachers or lawyers. 1t is the
first state to shrug its shoulders on
that senseless discussion of whether
journalism is or is not profession
At this gathering of editors in CO.
lumbia. there We're representatives
from eighteen states and three for
eign countries. Some of the mighty
lights of journalism were present and
lectured. There were successful ad-
vertising men from all parts of the
country and authorities on the art of
printing and its allied branches. They
came from New York. Boston. Chi
cagO, st. Louis. Kansas City and
other of the intellectual points of this
country and all of them had a mes
sage that was like good seed sOwed on
fertile soil.
We had never before conceived
that such a successful and instructive !
gathering of newspaper men could
have been brought together within
the walls of college. But probably
the day has passed. if not in other
places. surely then i'm Missouri, when |
men who have attained |
their high positions in editorial chairs |
by the schooling they have given !
themselves by hard toll and much !
hard striving after they have left col '
lege, if ever they were fortuate
enough to attend one, shy at college
training for practical journalism and !
refuse to venture into campus to ex-
pound a few of the principles of the !
art.
