demagogic character, inspired by
jealousy and resentment. No
doubt jealousy and resentment
have played their part, and quite
rightly, too, since the public
schools have an egalitarian basis
which Is tremendously worth pre-
serving. But it is a piece of stu
pidity for parents to that
this is all there is to it.
AS a matter Of fact. there are
probably very few school princi-
pals who have not been seriously
concerned, at one time or another,
over private discoveries regarding
relationship between the fraterni-
ties and the moral tone of the
school. Sometimes these discov-
cries have had the proportions of
scandals; sometimes they have
simply been evidences of a general
deterioration of character. But
they have been enough to convince
school men that the over-elabo-
rate high school secret society is a
poor vehicle for the expression of
the social instinct of young people.

THE HORSE PLAGUE

Editor Missoula-There appeared in
the Sentinel the latter part of last
week, an article %emanating from the
Deputy State Veterinarian DR.. J. H.
Ward that the dreaded horse plague
had broken out in the state and 1000
horses had died from it this last two
years. In the Muscular an article
comes from the state office in Helena
denying this statement as being ut
terly false and that This man Wards
excuse was that he had been mis-
quoted. 1t seems to every reasonable
thinking person that no paper could
publish such a glazing statement with
out having gotten some material from

GREATEST BENEFIT

Editor Missoulian-In the discussion
OF the question of a consolidated uni
Vers1ty for the state Of Montana, we
v had the opinion Of the educators,
students, newspaper men, professional
and business men, both pro and con,
but there is a class of citizens who
furnish the majority Of the votes,
more than their share of the taxes and
a big majority of that population of
which 1t is our sacred duty to try to
educate. OF this class we seldom have
their opinion on public issues, espe-
clally when the discussions are
through the Medium of the press. So
in the interest of this large class of
citizens 1 offer these remarks. What
does the consolidationists mean by a
greater university, and who would be
the beneficiaries of the consolidation.
1t surely could not be argued that the
size Or amount of cash required to
establish such an institution would
create greatness; then we presume that
they would say that the basis of it's
greatness would be the greatest bene-
fit to the greatest number of those to
be served, which is the true measure
of all greatness, but let us reason with
ourselves for a moment. If all of our
higher educational institutions were
combined in any n town or city in
Montana what would be the result.
How many of the students Who have
graduated Or are at present members
of the student body would lave at
tended or would be attending a uni
versity situated at say Bozeman how
many would have Deer denied the
privilege of the school of mines or the
agricultural college If they had been
consolidated with the university at
Missoula. How many of this great
majority of citizens are able to send
their children away from home to edu-
cate them, when will the time come
when this great horde of American
citizens ave the assurance of equal
justice with their more fortunate
neighbors in the matter of education
No consolidation would create a
greater institution in the true sense
of the meaning Of greatness. 1t would
keep many of the poorer class from
the education which is their dues by
right, 1t would in effect build up a
city which is the most ~ineconomical
location for the poorer class. 1t would
build up a student body of the sons
and daughters of the more wealthy
families of the state and from other
states. which do not need any facili-
ties manufactured for their assistance
In educational matters. So we believe
that the more institutions Of higher
learning we have scattered owe the
state the more education we will have
among The class of citizens which
stand in the greatest need of educa-
ton, and a greater number of the pop
ulation of the state will reap the bene-
fit. Consultations are generally under
the same principle to place the bene
fits and the power in the hands OF
the few while the majority settle.
Yours very respectfully,

TO c.. M. ALLEN

Editor Missoulian-Mr. Aliens plea
for the separation of special schools
presented in your issue Of January 2a
seems to show some misrepresentation
of the nature of a university.
AS defined by Mr.. Dunston in the
Butte Post" "a state university
should be made up of all it's institu-
tons of higher education usually
known as colleges" Each of these
colleges can be more efficiently as well
as economically managed when they
are all in one group than when each
is isolated.
The greatest professional schools in
the country are in u great universe
ties. 1t is sufficient to mention the
Johns Hopkins Medical school and
the schools OF engineering and agri-
culture at Cornell. If the school of
agriculture. Of mining, or any special
school at the greater university of
Montana should be neglected it would
be the faul of the university author
tiles, and the people could correct this
through the Legislature.
When the special schools are iso-
lated each one has to duplicate that
large part of the work common to all.
For example the fundamental sci
ences, for which costly laboratories
and apparatus are required, must be
duplicated at each school.
II greater efficiency could be Sc
cured by isolation this duplication
might be justified; but all the highest
educational experience shows the eff
ficiency of special schools to be in
creased by sharing in the broader re-
sources and opportunities of the whole
community of schools.
Constellation does not propose the
absorption of the other chools by one
of the group but the union of all into
one institution in which they will be
mutually helpful instead OF compe-
titors. X.

HIGH SCHOOL "FRATS."

Chicago is having a trying expert
ence with the so-called fraternities in
Its high schools. The latest informal
tion from the scene of the strife Is
that the "frats' have been put out of

school has had a little experience with

altogether pleasant. The local coterie
Of youngsters has not gained sufficient
strength to be particularly troublesome,
but its Influence is not good. A CORE
spondent Of The Missoulian, the other

mistake to call the local organization
a fraternity. 1t should. he said, be
dubbed a sorority, except that It would
not be fair to the girls. OF the high

one would think that their time should

The family of Casimir C%ascadier

amples of "A Modern Eve the title
OF the Mort II. Singer Berlin musical
success which will be seen at the
Harnois theater on Friday January
81. First, of course, there is Nine.
0ascadier, a believer in the equality
of the sexes, a lawyer and a woman
whose energy of character keeps ev-
e%ry1body about her on the jump. Then
there are the two daughters, Renee
and Camille, the former an artist and
the latter a physician. Both are
sprightly winsome damsels who do
much to aid their mother in her me-
thods of keeping things lively. Such
attractive girls as these are of course
besieged by suitors. Camille decides
that an Englishman, Dicky Ruther-
ford, is the man for her, and Renee
succumbs to the graceful wooing Of
Justin Pontgirard. Diverse difficult
les at first interfere with the happi-
ness of these lovers; and ever after
Renee is married, her militant mother
continues to display her forceful char
acter and e~ndeavors to make Renee
divorce the new son-in-laW. But Renee
won't divorce her Justin-simply
won't-and so that is the end of the
difficulty. And eventually, all the
other troubles are likewise brought to
satisfactory conclusions. Especially
delightful among the songs of this
Berlin operette are as the Girl You

INDIAN COMPUTATION OF
TIME,

Certain Of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar OF their
ancestors. The Indian method was
to compute time by sleeps and
moons. A sleep is twenty four
hours, and a moon is a month.
There is also a midnoon where the
sun is at II O'Clock meridian. The
hour is indicated by pointing over
head. When an Indian pointed
quarter way up the sky he meant

way down he mean. 3 o'clock. Sun.
rise was the Eastern horizon and
sunset the western. Night was in
dlcated by holding the bands to-
gether, palms downward, stretching
out the arms and holding the body
and head bent forward. When
there was a moon the time was in
olcated in the same way as was the
sun. Were an Indian asked the
distance to a certain place or how
taf he had come, he would saw so
many sleeps or days travel. A
