New York eGiants and the
Philadelphia Athletics, pennant win
ners Of the National and American
leagues, met here this afternoon in
the third contest of the worlds base
ball series. Thirty-fve thousand
persons, undismayed by constant
threat of heavy rain, swarmed the
concrete stadium to view the strug-
gle. Each team, with a victory TO
its credit, was determined to win to-
days game to obtain what the ball
players call the jump on the other
fellow"
You know luck breaks better for
the leading team" said Captain Lar
.ry Doyle, OF the Giants, and that's
why We win be out there today 70
beat the Athletics"
soGGY FIELD.
A soggy field, drenched by hours
OF hard rain. slowed up the fielding
OF both the Giants and Athletics.
Water had seeped through the tar
paulins during the night and dozen
ground Keepers worked from dawn
to game time to dry out the nois-
ture. Gallons of gasoline werc
sprinkled on the base paths and the
early spectators saw what appeared
like the start of a prairie fire. The
ground was then carefully sanded
and the puddles in the outfeld were
sponged up.
Umpire Rigler inspected the
ground at 1890 o'clock and report
ed the diamond in shape to play II
there was no more rain. The gates
were Immediately opened and a
triple file Of weather anxious spec
tators stretched its way four or five
blocks away from the entrances,
passed into unreserved stands.
Scores of women stood for several
hours waiting for the gates to open,
and they were just as livery as the
men in the rush for the front seats.
GIANTS CRIPPLED.
I'VE are a crippled team" re-
marked John McGraw grimly, "but
we will have good club in the field
today as Mack's men win find out"
The Athletics came to the ground
with every member in fine playing
condition. The Athletics and Giants
came upon the field together shortly
after / o'clock and the greeting
cheers of the crowd had scare died
away before the Giants started in a
long batting practice. The Ame-' IN
Leaguers passed the ball hack and
forth on the side lines.
Demaree served the ball during
batting practice and many thought
that it indicated that Tesreau would
be the Giants moundsman. There
was general cheer when Matthew
son and Wiltse marched across the
field together. They were regarded
as the heroes OF yesterdays combat,
and they had to repeatedly don their
caps in recognition of the crowds
plaudits. The sun succeeded finally
In burning hole through the
clouds about l o'clock and the indi-
cations of a probable clear afternoon
helped to keep the crowd in tip top
good humor. iii
McGraw sent word to the. press
bench that Tesreau and Mclean
would be the New York battery.
During the field practice Merke
went back to first base. His ankle
seemed much improved and McGraw
said he would play today. The bat
terry for Philadelphia was Bush and
schang.

WHAT FORESTRY is AND is NOT
Underlying Idea Is Continuity of Use-Profes-
sor de Forest Objects to the Fanclful
Title of ''Tree Doctor"

as to serve as a basis for the practice
of the art of silviculture.
The tree that satisfies the forester
in this crop production for so prac-
tical a purpose is most unsatisfac-
tory tree to the planter of shade or
ornamental trees. The latter is an
arboriculturist and is after shade or
beauty of form from the tree, while
the former is a forester and is after
a certain kind of wood of a certain
quality and the greatest quantity he
can get of this. Both, however, to
secure their objects, as widely differ
ent as they are, must understand the
nature and life history of the trees.
Hence the care of shade and orna-
mental trees, or the care of trees as
it is often simply called, refers to
something entirely different from the
care of forests. And the former is
not forestry but is arbOriculture. 1t
is unfortunate that this distinction Is
not always clearly perceived.
The forester is sometimes ruffled
by having the fanciful title of tree
doctor" mistakenly applied to him, an
epithet made unpleasant by the hum
buggery of persons advertising them
selves as tree doctors" and tree
surgeons" The matter has not been
helped either by the use Of these
terms as catchy advertising words by
some arboriculturists who are en-
gagged in the business of legitimately
caring for shade and ornamental
trees.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.

A committee has been appointed to
raise one thousand dollars for the
support OF visiting nurse to help
eliminate tuberculosis from Columbia.
Persons are asked to give only what
they feel it is their duty TO give.
The merit of the work is the only ap-
peal made This is the proper spirit
In which aid should be asked. This
committee is composed of busy men
and women. They are giving both
time and money to help stamp out
disease that causes one-fifth of the
deaths in Columbia. Some persons
have realized this and sent their
money unsolicited.
II is such unsolicited aid that shows
real community interest in the work of
the nurse. Money given in this man
ner is always given FOR the cause,
never because of the personality OF
the person asking for the gift.
Another committee is trying to
establish a hospital for tubercular pa
tients in an effort to eliminate the dis
aase from Boone County. Should Co
lumbians fail TO retain a visiting nurse,
il would be almost impossible TO get
a tubercular hospital. 1t is through
the nurse that increased knowledge of
the destruc;iyeness OF this disease and
the methods of its elimination are be-
ing disseminated in the community.

A LIVING WAGE FOR TEACHERS.

The initial step in movement 10
give Missouri teachers a living wage
equal to that paid plumbers, brick
layers and carpenters was taken by
the county school superintendents' as
association at their meeting i'm Jeffer-
ferson City recently. 1t was shown by
the association that the average wage
now paid to Missouri teachers is one
third less than the contract wage of
the states criminals.
The teachers are the moulders OF
human character and the leaders OF
intellectual advancement in every
community. Their value should not
be measured by the number of hours
they spend in the school room, but
by the amount of service done, by
the personality, the moral influence
and the intellectual attributes of the
teacher. all of which make their i'm
press upon the youth with whom they
come in contact.
The plan of the county superintend-
ents is to advance the interests OF
the teachers through a central organi-
cation. as the labor unions advance
the interests of their members. The
wages of teachers have not kept pace
in recent years with the rise in wages
in other lines of work because teach
ers of the state have failed to cooper
ate in demands.
A fair wage for teachers will benefit
not alone the $4,000 persons engaged
in teaching in the state, but ultimate
ly the public as a whole. This advan-
tage will come about with the demand
for more efficient teachers. Under
present conditions the best OF our tai
ent is drawn to the large cities or to
the West where wages are more allur-
ing, while the schools in country COM
munities and towns are forced to de-
pend upon young. inexperienced and
often wholly incompetent teachers.
There is no surer guarantee of a
states pre-eminence than the develop
ment of a powerful educational sys-
TEN which means peter schools and
more and better trained teachers.

fallen to one in ten. And the change
is even more noticeable in the maga-
zine pages. All our popular maga-
zines of today are using more and
more true stories which have in them
a sparkle of human interest.
This points strongly to the coming
of a new type of literature. 1t al
ready is giving us a higher type Of
reading matter. The true stories of
the human interest features of life
make the newspaper attractive. The
newspapers occupy an enviable field.
Falling in line, the magazines are be-
coming more like the newspapers.

WHAT TO DO AT COMMENCEMENT
Instructions Have Been Sent to the
Candidates for Degrees.


How the diplomas and certificates
are to be distributed at Commence
ment has been issued by Prof. George
Lefevre, chairman of the Committee on
Public Exercises. During the conferr-
ing of degrees, each candidate is to
put on his cap and rise when his name
is called by the dean. He will then
remain standing until the degree has
been conferred by the president.
In order to avoid the confusion
which has always existed in the past
in the distribution of the diplomas,
they will be given out after the Com
mencement exercises. The distribution
will take place in the corridor on the
second floor of Academic Hall from II
o'clock to 5 o'clock Thursday, June 5.
All candidates are to apply between
these hours to receive their diplomas
and certificates awarded at the Com
mencement exercises.
II 1t should be Impossible Tor any
one to apply at these hours, he should
make arrangements with Leslie Cowan
at the presidents Office. The diploma
will then be sent to him by express.
These new plans are made to avoid
the confusion which has up to this
time always existed during Commence
ment. Every year before this, the di-
plomas we're just handed out regard
less of whose names were on them.
Many of the students were unknown
to each other and in this manner many
of the diplomas were lost. This year
each student will be required to sign
a receipt for his diploma when he re-
ceives it.

By II. de Forest,

A very charming woman. a member
of Sorosis. once said to me: "A for
ester. Delightful. But 1 shouldn't
think you would really need to 60 to
university to learn how to cut down
trees. All, but then l suppose you
have to so as to learn how to doctor
them"
She belongs to a much more exten-
sive band than Sorosis, she belongs to
the famous society of women and
men who know that the President of
the United States is elected by the
people somehow, and who think the
Electoral College an institution Of
higher learning at Washington.-a
great band of goodly people.
Forestry. briefly, is the science and
art of raising successive forest crops
on forest land. 1t really amounts to
the putting of certain land, certain
soil, to the use for which it is best
fitted and keeping it at that use. 1t
is the keeping of forest lands-and
agricultural lands in continuity of
use for the purpose to which they are
best suited.
And what are forest crops? The
substance of the trees. They are
raised to obtain wood and other pro-
ducts of the forest for their many
and varied uses in civilized life. Only
when the trees are cut and the wood
utilized is the object of the forester
attained: he grows trees not to be
preserved but to be harvested as
crops.
The present Chief Forester of the
United States Forest Service enlarges
upon this in an explanatory way. He
says: The underlying idea of for
estry is continuity of use. Forestry
aims to utilize the present product of
the forest with the greatest possible
economy, and with profit to. the
owner, and at the same time to pro-
vide for the continuance of the forest,
and for the production of timber and
other forest produce in the future.
Heretofore numbering has been the
exploitation of a ripe crop of timber,
with no intentional provision for the
future use of the land for forest
growth. The forester regards for
est as a property capable of yielding
repeated crops of timber. When a
merchantable crop is cut, the forester
aims to replace it by new growth,
to protect the young, middle-aged,
and merchantable trees, which by the
old methods would often be destroyed.
and to secure from the forest the
highest possible yield in the long run.
"The highest possible utilization Of
the present product requires only the
application of ordinary modern busi-
ness principles. Forest production
requires of the manager not only
practical business capacity but also
of the life and characteris-
tics of the trees and forests. and the
methods of carrying out the objects
of forestry in a practical way. The
forester, therefore, must be a man
trained and experienced both in mod
ern numbering and also in the art of
forest production, which, in technical
language, is called silviculture. Sill
viculture is the art of establishing,
and reproducing forests"
Under silviculture, and as its basis,
lies the science upon which the art
is founded, silvics or forest geology,
which deals with the whole body of
observed facts that relate to the life
Of the single tree and to the forest
as a unit, arranged and classified SO

THE DOCTRINE OF FICTION.

An ingenious writer insists that in
the near future there will be no more
fiction in literature. The true story
with a human interest touch will su-

partly to justify his startling conclu-
sion.

books published in the United States
were fiction. Today the number has
