THE VISITING NURSE.

The announcement that Columbia
is to retain its visiting nurse was to
be expected. 1t would be difficult to
estimate how many lives the visit
ing nurse has saved, not only by
what she has done. but by what she
has taught others to do for them
selves. 1t would have been little
short of a crime to have allowed the
work to stop at this time.
Columbia, even more than most
cities. should be constantly ON the
lookout for progressive ideas to use.
And not the least Of these by any
means is the visiting nurse. and her
work against tuberculosis.

Editor the Missourian: Why should
our college life be any more of q
dream life than any other time? Life
is just what We make 1t and II we
make our school day. days to be
dreamed of in the future, why can't
we make every day to be looked back
upon with pleasure. There is just
as great opportunities in the future
for the student to do good and to enter
into sport as there is now. AS far as
studying, some men never finish un-
til they die.
The world Is nothing more or less
than a big University full of pleasures,
business and opportunities. The busi-
ness men. the lawyers, the doctors
and the tramps are its students. The
preachers, the government ofiiciais,
the editors and the professors its
teachers.
A great mistake with many of the
students of a university is, they make
their school life too much Of dream.
About all they do is dream. A col
lege life should not be made altogeth-
er a dream life but should be just an
real as the life will be after the col
lege career is over. H.

Star Says Kansas City Is Eager Tor

Star Says Kansas City IL Eager feE
Tigers to Meet Jsyhawkers There.
The return of the big game" to Kan
sas City would be vociferously well
coined hereabouts. 1t has been soreiy
missed, not only by alumni who can't
get away to Lawrence or Columbia
but also by a considerable portion
of the rest of the town-old boys OF
other colleges who like to renew their
youth once a year in the enthusiasm
of the annual struggle between Tiger
and Jayhawker; old boys OF no COL
lege who enjoy wholesome rivalry In
sport, and the younger generation OF
boys and girls who perhaps will go
to college some day and are eager to
taste its delights in advance.
But, seriously. isn't the Kansas City
game worth while from the university
standpoint simply from the attention 1t
calls to the schools? To be sure there
are grabbed and cross grained per-
sons who would insist that 1t II the
wrong sort of attention. But the fact
is that the presence Of hundreds Of
students in town, the rivalry provoked
by the game, all the incidental activ-
tiles connected with 1t. do stir up the
college spirit and interest people
young and old in college life.
The game had become really Kan
sas City institution. Here's hoping
that 1t comes back.-Editorial in the

VIEWPOINTS
School Twelve Months.

Editor of the Missourian: An all
the-year University Is hardly practi-
cal. Keeping school open the entire
year is like running an engine all the
time. No time would be left to re-
pair the buildings and make a general
clean up. Repair work must como
every year and 1t Ia almost impossible
to do some of the work while students
are attending classes.
Teachers should not be required to
teach all the year without . stop.
They should have rest and time to
study and do research work. A con-
slant attendance at class would de-
crease their efficiency as teachers.
1t is the same with students. They
should not go to school more than
nine months Of the year, but should
spend the other three At some kind OF
outdoor recreation. In cases where 1t
il necessary. however, students can
attend the regular summer session
and still have one months vacation.
OF course no one would be compelled
to attend school all the year even II
the sessions never stopped. The de-
sire to get through school. however.
would lead many students to do that.
The years would not be distinct. col
lege life would loose its charms and
hool work would be nothing more
than a mere grind. There would be
no coming back in the fall and renew
ing of friendships. 1t would be like
working in a factory day by day all
the year. b.

Columbia Beautiful.

Editor the Missourian: Ten years
ago a student in the University Of Mis-
souri, was anxiously waiting at a red
frame depot for a putting little en-
gine with two old fashioned coaches
to put in its appearance. That day
his father was to visit him. 1t had
been raining all day and the boy was
vexed that his father would be COM
PEELED to see Columbia at its worst.
Even then he was trying in vain to
scrape of the mud from his shoes.
1t was evident that the train was late
for 1t was even now twenty minutes
behind the scheduled time. The stu
dent had just completed his tenth
trip from the station to the frame
bridge a few yards away when the
shrill whistle was heard. A few min
utes and the boy with his gray haired
father were walking arm in arm over
the rough board sidewalk and across
muddy dirt streets.
The Columbia that the father and
son saw that day is not the same Co
lumbia that the son sees now on his
first visit to his alma mater. II he
had not found the same putting en-
gine with the same two coaches wait
ing for him at Centralia he would not
have known when the train came to
its final destination that this stone
structure before him was the Wabash
depot. that this town with its pavea
streets and delightful city-like atmos-
phere was none other than the Colum-
bia Of his student days. Yet what q

large newly constructed homes cost
ing thousands with beautiful and we'll

open through which q constant stream

A GREATER MISSOURI.

In size Missouri is larger than any
state east of the Mississippi River or
bordering on it except Minnesota In
variety and excellence of her soil Mis-
souri, stands we'll in the front rank
among the states of the Union. Her
climate is good. She is the leading
lead producing state. Zinc. iron and
coal add vastly to her other riches.
In agricultural products she is one
of the leading states. Seventy-five
million dollars worth of eggs are pro-
duced annually by Missouri hens.
Her factories produced in 1909 goods
valued at $5Ss. .S08.0
The one thing needed to rapidly
boost Missouri products and industries
is better transportation. One Of the
urgent needs here is the development
of waterways. especially the Missouri
River. Already, work has begun on
improving this stream. 1t needs. how
ever. the added support Of every Mis-
sourian to bring speedy results. OF
equal importance for Missouri is the
development of the Mississippi 80 as
to provide an outlet to the Gulf of
Mexico by water.
Such a system of river transporta-
tion when developed will greatly re-
duce freight rates thereby offering a
better market for all of Missouri's ex-
ports.
The Improvement Of local highways
is also of great importance in market
ing her products. Much of the profit
of farm products is now lost in muddy
roads. Large sections of the state
are poorly developed because Of bad
roads. Here too. there is the begin
ming of an adequate system of i'm
proved highways in the provision Of
the last Legislature for a chain Of
roads connecting every county seat
The further success and enlargement
of this scheme will add greatly to tho
assets Of the state.
A third need in transportation sys-
TENS is the interurban electric rail-
way. The state is notably deficient in
this method of transportation. Yet
such lines would afford an outlet for
thousands of dollars worth Of goods
and would result in an increased pro-
duction in the state. Like the other
needed systems a beginning has been
made. But there is need of arousiAg
public interest in the need for these.
Missourians need to wake up to the
possibilities Of a greater Missouri.

THE JAPANESE QUESTION.

Since the California anti-Japanese
legislation seems to stand preeminent
in current events. it might be we'll to
know just what our treaty with Japan
is. 1t reads:
The citizens or subjects Of each
Of the high contracting parties shall
have liberty to enter. travel and re-
side in the territories Of the other. to
carry on trade. wholesale and retail;
to own or lease and occupy houses.
manufactures. warehouses and shops;
to employ agents Of their choice to
lease land for residential and COM
mercial purposes. and generally to do
anything incident to or necessary for
trade upon the same terms as native
citizens or subjects"
In q way It looks as II CALIFORNIA;
LEGISLATION is q violation Of the treaty.
Looking still closer We see that no
right is given to own land. but mere
ly the improvements. Further on the
treaty gives the right to lease land.
The last part seems to be the elastic
clause.
Luckily the American press has re-
fused to become aroused, consequently
there is little strong sentiment either
