 Nine persons, including four firemen and a policeman, hurt when the cor nice of the structure fell, were hur- ried to the Allegheny Hospital. Sev- erad persons were reported missing but all are thought to have escaped. The building was erected forty years ago. Women and children in the three upper floors became hysterical and had to be dragged to safety. One woman was dragged out of her room but she insisted on returning for her hat.
 Mrs. D. W. Miller, 46, was uncon- scious and her clothing and hair were in flames when dragged from her room by Policeman Kerr The loss may reach $20O, 900.
 Bremen were fighting hard to pre- vent the flames from spreading to other buildings.

Hardin College and Conservatory
of Music for young women. at Mex

by Governor Charles H. Hardin. Ar
ticles of association were adopted
June 6, 1873. The college possessed
at that time one building 40 by so
feet and two stories in height. Now
the college property is valued
at about a quarter of a million dol
lars. BY the terms of Governor Har-
din's gift forty per cent of the in
come from the endowment is added
to the principal until the endowment
amounts to 100000.
In addition to the regular literary
course. instruction is offered in art.
music. including both vocal and
instrumental, domestic science, ply

GRADUATE SIXTY.SEVEN
The Kansas City School of Law to
HoId Commencement Exercises.

The Kansas City School of Law to
Hold Commencement Exercises.
The Kansas City School of Law
will graduate sixty-seven at the COM
mencement exercises to be held in
June. The school has been in exist
ence only seventeen years and has
had a remarkable growth in that
time. One of the prime objects of
the Kansas City School of Law is to
give to students an opportunity to
combine the study of law with the
practical work of law Office with
out any interference between the
two. All sessions of the school are
held between 4 and 10 o'clock p. IN.
The school cOnfers the degree of
Bachelor of Laws upon all gradu-
ates.
The faculty of this school is chosen
from the bench and the bar of Kan
sas City. Judge Francis NJ. Black
was the first president of the school.
Upon his death o. H. Dean became
president and is at present acting in
that capacity.
The last bulletin issued shows
twenty-three lecturers and instruc-
tors on the faculty list. This bulle-
tin also shows the total enrolment
this year to be two hundred and
eight-six.
When the school started it con-
sisted of a two years course of in
structiOn. This was increased to
three years in 1902. The next
change was made in the curriculum
in 1911, when the school ceased to be
STRICTLY a night school and became
a day and night school. By this
change, students attend class room
work for ten and One-half hours per
week. These changes have proven
to be a most potent factor in raising
the standard of the school.
In 1910 new and cOmmOdiOus
quarters were obtained on the 5th
floor of the NOnquit Building which
gave the school more room and
made possible many improvements.

should have been the same as that
of the steamer. 1t seems that this
could have been true and this should
be one of the requirements for all
steamship companies. If enough life
boats cannot be carried on q steamer
for $500 people then the steamer
should not be allowed to take on that
many persons.
We should take precautiOn and not
leave all to good luck.

YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS.

Many people seem to think that a
young man while in college should sit
with his arms folded and be isis
sy." They object to his taking an
interest in politics. They watch him
closely and criticise all his mistakes
This is the wrong attitude, for they
should encourage instead of discOur-
|age. In the young men of the cOun-
try lies the hope of the nation. The
fact that they are taking a more
lively interest in politics today is a
good sign that the country is not
going to the "bOw vows"
The young mans view of life is
different from that of the older men.
As a rule he is optimistic and is
found on the right side of many ques-
tions. He knows that he has a repu-
tatiOn to make and that if he loses
in the beginning all is ended.
Then, too, young men as a rule are
progressive They furnish the vim
and the life for politics and business
IL it were not for them the old world
would soon be rocked into kindling
wood. They should be encouraged,
not discouraged.

MORE PROBATION AT SEA.

The sinking of the Titanic goes
down in maritime history as the
greatest of disasters. 1t is partic-
ularly a shock TO us because of late
we have come to think that acci-
dents at sea are almost impossible.
The Titanic disaster shows that
we have not taken the necessary pre-
cautions for the safety of passengers
of steamers at sea. The capacity of
the Titanic's life boats was only
about one-third of the total capacity
of the steamer.

TO COLLEGE OR NO.

We realize today, as never before,
that this world is a great joint stock
company. He gets most out of life
who puts most in.
The ideal of the age is service. The
struggle for efficiency has become
paramount. The success or failure of
an individual, an institution or a
CORPORATION is measued by the eff
cheney of its service. Efficient SER
vice, in its final analysis, means the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber.
This is a vital time for the High
School senior. He is at the parting of
the ways. One road leads through
college; the other directly into prac-
teal life.
Our colleges have been harshly
criticised MIrh of the criticism is
just. So is much Of the criticism of
the college graduate. But go to the
farm. to the trades, to the prOfes-
sions; you will find the most effici-
ent workers everywhere are the COL
lege men. In every calling a vast
majority of the leaders are college
men.
Critics have said that the college
graduate does not ''fit in" to the
world 1t might be answered that he
is the bailder who shapes it's des-
tiny.
statistics show that a college ed
ucation adds more than 200 percent
to ones earning power. No arith-
metic has yet been devised which can
estimate the percent it adds to ones
manliness. happiness and useful
ness.
College week issues of the Mis-
sourian. of which this is the intrOduc-
ton, will place before the High
School seniors of this Commonwealth
information which should help in a
wise decision of the question
whether to go to college or no."
The colleges about which you read
in these issues offer Missouri young
people advantages unsurpassed by
any group of educational Institutions.
The presidents of these colleges will
be glad to give you detailed informa-
ton concerning their institution, and
to advise you upon the vital Ques-
ton Immediately before yOu-'cOl-
lege or the business world" The
Missourian urges you to avail your
self of their services.
A college education doesn't make
a man-but it helps.
