A RADICAL

Editor Missoulian.-In your editorial
of a few days ago you stated that your
columns were open to discussion of
both sides of this consolidation plan. I
am writing you, consequently, in the
hope that you will give this letter pub
licity.
In your issue of January IS, you take
up a good deal of space quoting from
the Christian Science Monitor on the
subject of the small colleges. l be-
lieve the intelligence of your readers
is such that you cannot lea them off
the track of his argument by bring
ling UP the question of the small pri-
vate institutions of learning. Not a
WORD of what you printed had any
thing whatever to do with the ques-
ton of consolidation of the institutions
of learning in the state of Montana;
the whole discussion had nothing
whatever to do with this question.
!, as a friend of consolidation, wish
to be understood as also being a friend
of the small college. l believe every
college man is free to admit the great
value of the small college, out this
proposition does not concern the small
college, and every college nan also
knows that if the state of Montana is
to take any rank whatsoever in edu-
cational matters she must ave a state
university; all states la state uni
versities. Now, it is the state univer-
sity we are talking about, and not
Oberlin. If your quotation from the
Monitor had been on the matter of
the ACCESSIBILITY of limiting the attend
ance in any one of the colleges that
go to make up a university. then it
would have been bearing upon the
question. l annot presume that you
are so ignorant that you do not see
the distinction, but it does seem to me
that you are totally misunderstanding
the average Montana citizen when you
attempt to mislead him on this propo-
sition. Now, there are a good many
college graduates in Montana, and a
good nan university graduates, and
they know that a university is made
up of various colleges; that a univer-
sity is an institution of learning which
offers opportunity for training in the
various professions, and also offers
advanced research courses leading to
the degree of Phi. D.. All university
men agree heartily with the editoria
in the Christian Science Monitor, an6

to do with the question, for at the

FORCEFUL ADDRESS
BY NOTED MISSIONARY
Dan Crawford, Just Back from Africa,
Told of Work in the
Jungle.

A forceful address on the power of
the gospel to impart JOY under ad-
verse circumstances was given yester-
day in the Centre Congregational
church by Dan Crawford, a Scotch
missionary who lost himself in the
heart of Africa for % years. This
was the first address ever given by
Mr.. Crawford in this country as he
had been on American soil only a few
days, coming to this country to speak
at the Northfeld conference.
In introducing the speaker Rev Roy
NJ. Houghton, pastor of the church,
mentioned the fact that the mission
airy did not see a railroad train in 23
years, nor did he have a collar on in
that length of time.
In conversation outside the pulpit
Mr.. Crawford said that he had feared
he might lose the power to speak Eng
lish and so from the first he talked
for hours every day to himself Grad
uallv the native language took hold
Of him and he acquired a pronuncia-
tion all his own. He said that the
language of the Luban tribes, among
which he worked, has % lenses Of
the verb, while the noun has 10 gen
ders lie has reduced it all to a
grammar. He also says he thinks like
a Negro. He was the author of
Thinking Black, the most original and
fascinating book in African missionary
literature, the large edition of which
was entirely sold out in this country.
Mr. Crawford was the first white man
to follow in David Livingstone s foot
steps to the tree ut Ilala, where that
great mans heart was buried and
where Mr. Crawford conducted the fu-
neral service.
Mr.. Crawford viii go West and
South to preach and sing and will be
heard again in Northfeld after the
opening OF the Northfeld schools. lie
will return to Central Africa to spend
the rest Of his life with his beloved
Bantus.

Noisy Time When Reed Street
Dwelling Was Found on
Fire This Morning
HURRIED EXITS BY
ITALIAN OCCUPANTS
Men Refused to Leave by Door Al
though Nothing Prevented, but
Jumped from Upstairs Windows
Damage Slight

As Officer Ellis G. Worden was
sounded the alarm from box So Mean
after midnight last night lie heard a
scream of =" Murder repeated three
times from the vicinity of Reed street.
He ran IN that direction anticipating
something in the nature of a free-for
all fight. Instead he saw smoke and
then a man jump from second story
window of the large white house
known as the "Shea house.. owned
by \. DeAngelis.
An instant later another man jump
ed from the same window and then
came shower of grips, bedding, shoes
and other belongings Of occupants.
| The front door was open and there
was not bit of smoke up the stair
way but the occupants preferred the
shorter cut to light air and freedom.
That there was fire in the building
was unmiStakeaBle and Francis Blake
sounded the alarm from Box So Mean
time the ncighborhood resounded with
the cries of the occupants, of whom
there were between % and 10, depend

themselves or the neighbors.
Officer Worden tried TO get them
to come down the stairs but that was

scene it was one of indescribable con

\ first two men, then a shower of grips
and other belongings and finally more
men. This scene was repeated at
practically every window Of the sec
ond and third stories for there were
three tenementS in the building. each
thickly populated.
The fire department responded
promptly and with three streams soon
had the fire under control, preventing
its spread outside of the building in
which it had originated in spite of the
fact that other buildings abut within
a few feet and a strong wind was
blowing.
In the opinion of Officer Worden
and the fremen first on the scene the
fire originated in the southeast end

This morning it was reported in the
neighborhood that quantity of gas

but this could not be verified
The property is owned by A. De
