A NEW CABINET POST.

There have been many suggestions
regarding a future position for Col.
onel George W. Goethals, builder OF
the Panama Canal Certainly a man
of Colonel Goethals' ability is worthy
of high position in government SER
vice. A man who can contribute to
the welfare and development of the
country through the accomplishment
of prodigious task like the building
of the Panama Canal can do other
work that will contribute to the ma
terial upbuilding of the country.
Retirement to quiet life in army cir
cles, or to life of ease. certainly
would not appeal to man of the
Goethals type. Activity is necessary
for his happiness.
He seems the best man to head
new department of the federal govern
ment. Congress would do well to
consider the establishment of a public
works department. Federal aid
should be enlisted in opening up the
100000 square miles of arid land
by reclamation, the draining of $4,000
square miles of swamp land and pre-
venting the annual loss of life and
property by floods.
The rivers of the country need to
be made more navigable and damage
by loss of soil should be stopped
The annual wash of soil into the Gulf
of Mexico is beyond computation |
Among the states, Missouri is leading
in reclamation work. but federal aid |
and control are needed. Colonel
George W. Goethals is the man to
head cabinet post of this kind.

An EDUCATIONAL TENDENCY.

The position women hold in a coun
try is good test of the progress tha
country has made in civilization, &C
cording to James Bryce, English criti,
of American institutions.
Assuming this to be true. Ameri
cans can point with just pride to the
efforts made by American women dur.
ing the last century to increase their
own intelligence and to the success
they have had in assisting to develop
an educational standard which has
added to the general wisdom of the
entire world. The freedom and high
position held by American women is
good evidence of the high level our
civilization has reached.
However, there is an economic point
to be considered in regard to the great
advance in education made by women.
The world has come to recognize the
economic value of educating women
as well as men. 1t is an indisputable
TACT that the countries which have
achieved the greatest general pros
perity and Importance are those in
which women's education has reached
the highest level.
While the movement is more or less
worldwide, American women have
forged ahead faster than those of any
other country. At the beginning of
the last century colleges for women
were practically unknown in this
country. But so eager were the
women of the time to enjoy equal priv
ileges with the men that they entered
schools as goods or attended schools |
modelled after colleges for men. They
did not stop to consider that many of
the courses offered them were prac-
tically valueless to the average wo-
man. True, they proved feminine in
tellect equal to the masculine and
wrested honors from the men. but
much of the education they received
lacked utility.
In the last decade has come a re-
markable change. Many schools are
being organized to provide more par

MAKING THE CITY A FARMLAND
Engineers in Their Theses Plan Wonderful
Improvements for Columbia

OF made clear.
A Castle In the Air.

| N SoSsAC IN snC <Ahs
A unique thesis is one upon the erec-
ton of a Blarney Castle, a memorial
to the engineers patron saint. The
plan as outlined was that each engi-
neer pay a small fee into the "St.
Pat. Memorial Fund each year. Besides
this. they were expected to do all the
wOrk-surveying, carrying of materi-
ais. and all other work pertaining to
the construction. The castle was to
be located upon the crest of the hill
above Rollins Spring. facing south
over the valley of the Hinkson. 1t was
to be of rugged design in keeping
with the site. 1t was to be square
with lookout tower on each corner
from which one could see over the
surrounding country. Since the price
of the land at that point was very low,
the cost was figured at $4,000. The
work of the students would be gratis,
so for a small amount the engineers
would have a castle which would be
creditable memorial to their Saint
Patrick.
Then there are lots of others. Elec-
trio lights for the campus, an improved
water system for Columbia, new sew
erage systems, parks for Columbia.
new this and improved that, ad infini-
tum. One wonders what a place this
would be had all these many plans
been carried out What if these plans
had gone farther than the professors
for whom they were intended? Then
the University campus would be a gar
den with artificial lakes. boulevards,
electric lights and spouting fountains.
The Hinkson would have driveways
above it on the bluffs, from which one
could look down upon the chattering
little stream. And this stream would |
be full of dams. ENG.
