DEVOTES HER LIFE TO HUMANITY
Mrs. Walter McNab Miller Has Had Wide In
Auence in Promoting Public Health and
Humane Treatment of Unfortunates.

The possibility of having a Colum-
bia woman as president of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs has in
terested Missouri women in the work
of Mrs. Walter McNab Miller, who is
possible candidate. Before coming
to Missouri, Mrs. Miller was inter-
ested in club work in Nevada. She
was the organizer and in 1898, presi-
dent of the Red Cross Society at
Reno, New. and she also organized
and was president of the first wo-
mans club in that state.
After coming to Columbia, she or
ganized the work for pure food in the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
From 1904 to 1908, until after the pas
sage of the federal pure food and
drug act and the Missouri food and
drug act, she was chairman of the
Pure Food Commission. In 1910 and
1911 she was a member of the gov
ernor's commission on tuberculosis
and editor of the report to the gov
ernor.
Mrs. Miller is chairman of the Pub
lie Health Committee and a member
of the executive board of the State
Conference of Charities. She is also
chairman of the visiting nurse COM
mittee of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
Society, director of the Columbia
Charity organization, chairman of the
Missouri School Patrons Department
of the National Educational Associa-
ton, and member of the State Board
of Charities and Correction.
Worked for Pure Food.
Mrs. Nliller's first important work
was as chairman of the Pure Food
Association. This led her into wider
fields and she became an ardent
worker in all public movements. The
attempt to get sanitary food condi-
tiOns took her into civic affairs and
later as members of State Board of
Charities she began to investigate
the care of the unfortunates in the
state and county. While she was on
the executive board of charities,
training school for nurses in the hos
pital for the insane was established,
so instead of the unframed and often
brutal attendants there will be
trained nurses for the insane; and
the attitude of the asylum has
changed from that of mere custody
to the idea of curing. as in hospital.
The report of investigations of
county almshOuses and jails by Miss
Charlotte Forester, trained nurse of
St. Louis. has caused the charity Or
CARNATIONS TO work for the use of
modern sanitary methods in such in
stitutiOns. For this purpose a
County Board of Visitors, probably
women, will be appointed to see that
there are decent conditions in the
almshouses and jaiIs. Mrs. Miller
said that in one of Missouri's most
beautiful counties she recently visited
the Jail and found nineteen men and
women crowded into one small room
where absolutely no sanitary condi-
tions existed. Coming from the beau
tiful out-of-doors to look at these
creatures in their horrid condition,
she said it seemed as though all the
world were beautiful, except man. In

Thirty Years Ago.

The trustees of the University of
Pennsylvania denied admittance to
two young women students. They
were not certain that women should
be allowed to work for the same de-
grees that were given the men. The
more radical element among them
promised to consider the desirability
Of a separate state college for
women.

DIXIE IN. LAWRENCE.

We're here to advertise,
And quietly advise,
To give the people pointers on
Mizzourah.
It's strictly up-to-date,
A place to educate
The darling little chappies of this
land.
So lend an ear and kindly hear
Our praises while we cheer-Well!!!
On November % every student will
have an opportunituity to get away
from Columbia and sing this song
Singing it at home will do no good,
for everyone in Columbia knows that
Missouri is the best school and does
not need to be told about it
But away from Columbia-that is
where the writer of the song meant
it to be sung
No other trip of the year is as ap-
propriate as the journey to the land
of the Jayhawk Centralia. Moberly,
Kansas City, Lawrence and every
town between here and there should
hear a thousand students voice their
| oe
1t is the duty of students to adver-
tise their school. and above all it is
the duty of students to be with the
Tigers, both in person and in praise,
when they are in the camp of the
enemy at Lawrence. There are a
few people who think that the Tigers
can win when the students are not
present encouraging with their yells,
but ask any member of the team if
he wants you to go with them to Law
renee, then decide for yourself.
Only twice in his college life a
University student has the opportun-
ity to go to Kansas for the annual
game These are opportunities that
should Aot be wasted. Freshmen
and sophomores should go because
they may not be here two years from
now. Upper classmen should go for
it is their last chance.
This year it seems a sure victory
for the Tigers. But one can't tell
The Jayhawkers fight Missouri as
they fight no one else They have
won few games this year and a victory
over Missouri would go a long way
toward blotting out other defeats.
They want this game and will make
a strong bid for it.
But, on the other hand, think of
the real joy that will come when you
have gone to the other teams grid
iron and, after the final whistle has
blown. you are the victors. The
band will play "Old Missouri" and
then will come 1--WE Won't Go Home
Till Morning." And we won't either
Not even in Lawrence.
1t will be great and you want to
be there. The trip won't cost a
great amount. You can save it on
something else When that train of
ten cars pulls into Lawrence and
over a thousand Old Guards - for
every one who goes is an Old Guard
step off, Kansas University will
wake up. They will be beaten before
the Tigers get on the field. Mis-
souri's band will play Dixie in the
streets of Lawren on the night of
the twenty-third.
Remember-it's up to you to go.

ROBERT La FOllette. You are sur.
prised to learn that these are ques.
tions entirely, foreign to his knowl.
edge. But need you be surprised?
If you had asked him concerning
men and movements of centuries ago
which bore the same relation to the
world in their day as Luther Burbank
and Robert LaFollette do today, he
could instantly have given you an ar.
ray of facts and figures. Napoleon has
been conquered; the American Revo-
luton is settled; slavery and the
Civil War are past issues. 1t is these
matters of history to which the high
school student devotes his attention
The problems, which will confront the
nation within the next forty years and
which are now taking shape, are un-
needed.
The common topics of the school
room are isloated Who will chat
with you on the ablative absolute, the
digestive system of the earth-worm
or on Sir Walter Scott's style? What
is needed by school children, after
they have been taught to read and
write. is practice with ideas that re-
quire controversy, difference of view,
balance Of reason and suspension of
judgment, writes William McAndrew
in The Worlds Work. They need to
know more of the world today and
of the world tomorrow.
Realizing this fact, some of the
teachers in eastern schools resolved
to take up with their students regu-
larly some consideration of the chief
concerns of the American people to-
day. They introduced the use of the
magazine of current thought into the
school-room. This cooperative study
of the magazine not only acquainted
the students with current facts and
events but it taught them the art of
courteous disagreement and led them
to acquire open minds amenable to
reason. 1t created in the classroom
an atmosphere more natural than one
is likely to find when the ideas of the
regular course of study are the only
staples. 1t also brought about the
closer relationship of the school and
the home. Subjects discussed in the
magazine class at school became
topics of common discussion about
the supper table.
The large purpose of assisting chill
dren to grow for the fullest living is
not honestly aimed at in the schools
today. The general view of education
is too narrow. The magazine class
in the eastern school, however, indi-
Gates an awakening.

played by the teams they took place
under the most reverse conditions, each
being played on a field ankle deep in
mud. and in a downpour Of rain.
The game that was played at George
town was not much of an exhibition. al
though under the conditions it was about
as we'll as could be expected. The Aggies
and Gallaudet played the best game,
though, the contest in which those two
teams took part ending in q score of to

The one bright spot in the game that
was played at Georgetown was the work
of Knapp. the Mount St Joseph's pitcher,
held down the Blue and Gray batters in
the easiest kind Of style even though
working under very poor conditions. He
had good control and, strange to say, a
fairly good breaking curve. when it would
hardly be expected that anything like a
curve could be developed.
The statement to the effect that no
athlete would be considered for the Olym-

greatly influenced in the selection of the
American team by the performance of
those competing in the tryouts. These
tryouts are however, merely guides, and
the committee may select as a member
Of the team any athlete who was unable
to compete In the tryouts, If, in the
opinion of the committee, his ability war
rants IT. The committee is not bound to
select for the team every or any athlete
who wins or completes in the ryouts.
There has been some misunderstanding
as to just what the penthalon and death
Ion, two events which are to be decided
on the Olympics are. The penthalon
consists Of five events and the decathlon
OF ten. The man who makes the great
est number Of points by competing in all
is declared the winner The penthalon
consists OF the following events: The
running broad jump. throwing the javelin,

middle; 2oO-meter dash; throwing the
discus. best hand. and the L. meter
run. The decathlon events are as follows !:
lOO-meter dash, running broad jump, put
ting the shot, best hand; running high
jump, and 4O0-meter run. On the follow
ing afternoon the five other events of the
decathlon, the 11O-meter high hurdle race,

RAIN AT LOUISVILLE.

LOUISVILLE March 23.-Bad weather
prevented a game between tho Brooklyns
and the Louisville Colonels. The grounds,
still soaking from yesterdays rain. re-
ceived a further wetting today by a rain
that started in about 10 o'clock. During
the afternoon Dahlen took his men out
to the big pavilion at the state fair
grounds and there. under shelter from
the rain and the cold wind, worked them
out for an hour or two. 1t Is doubtful If
a. game can be played tomorrow. as all
kinds Of weather is promised.
