1918 GRADUATE MAKES GOOD
Miss hthea Hall Gets Higher Salary
in California High School.


Miss Althea Hall, who was gradu-
ated last year from the University of
Missouri, is teaching in a California
high school. In September Miss Hall
signed a contract with the California
school authorities calling for so
much salary for the nine months
term. After months exhibition of
the qualities of her services she was
called before the School Board, the
old contract torn up and new one
made voluntarily and at a much
higher figure.
This shows the kind of pedagogues
the State University is turning out.
While Missouri always has it's full
complement of good teachers, there
is no reason why we should be too
hasty in bundling any of them off to
California. Surely, there is place
in the home state for the sort such
as Miss Hall Missouri Far and

THE ETHNOLOGy OF missouri"
The Meaning and Origin Of the Name
of the State Is Uncertain.

1t is a common and accepted belief
that Missouri is a genuine Indian word
meaning Muddy Water" This theory
is probably accepted by three-fourths
of the inhabitants of the state, who
have never been interested enough to
investigate thoroughly the origin of
the name of our state.
Featherstonbaugh started the muddy
water theory. He wrote that the Da-
kota Indians named the river "Minnay
Shoshoh Chhray," which literally
meant muddy water hill
By itself this is not an Indian word,
and it is therefore fair inference that
it is corruption. By abbreviating
the first word 'Minnay" of its last
four letters and then the other two
words, according to the French princi-
pies. the word "Mi-sho-ray" is pro-
duced 1t is not improbable that this
is the origin of the word Missouri.
| There is still other evidence that the
Indians called the Missouri muddy
water" Marest, in 1712, wrote that it
was called "Pekitanou" or muddy wa
ter. Most authorities now are of the
belief that Missouri is a corruption
of the name of the Indians who lived
near the river when the first explorers
came.
On the map that Joliet drew the
name is spelled "Mess-S-ri," and sub
stituting the French equivalent of the
figure 8: "Messouri."
Marquette's map made in 1851,
spells it missouri" Both of
these spellings, the bureau of ethnol-
ogy says, are probably corruptions of
the original name by the Illini Indians,
who added their characteristic Algon-
quin prefix
| Long, the historian, says Missouri
is corruption of "Ne-o-ta-cha, or
"Ne-o-ge-ha," which in Indian meant
those who build town at the en-
trance of river" McGee, another his
| torian, says that the exact meaning
of Missouri, of "Ni-u-ta-chi," Uong's
Ne-o-ta-cha). is somewhat uncertain,
but probably means or refers to the
drowning of persons in a stream. 1t
may probably be corruption of the
word "Ni-shu-dge," which means
smoky water" or perhaps muddy
water"
This is all the information, mac
curate and indefinite as it may be,
which has been brought down to us
of the origin of the name Missouri
Missouri has been spelled many ways
since the first white men visited our
ate.
Joliet spelled it "Mess-ou-ri;" Mar
quette, ou-miss-ou-ri." Franquelin s
map has it 'Missourits," and Ennis
sourettes.' Jautel. writing in 1856, was
the first man to write the word as we
do now.

SCIENTIST TELLS HOW TO
COPE WITH EARTHQUAKE E

San Francisco, Dec 16-There is
an earthquake problem" in this coun-
try, according to President John G.
Branner of Stanford University, and
it can and ought to be coped with in
the same way that business problem
or pestilence would be met. In a
speech here he spoke deprecatingly
of the Conspiracy of silence" which
he said had hindered scientific and
sane study of the "active faults" in
the earth's crust in California, which
would make possible campaign
against a repetition Of the disaster
of 1906.
eve must study earthquakes-where
they originate, how and why" he said.
sour study of the 1906 earthquake
enabled us to map out the entire dis
tance of the fault which caused the
damage-the fracture in the earth's
crust which slipped and caused the
tremor.
"There are plenty of active faults
in California and we should be work
ing now to locate them. When we
know where they are we can keep
our houses, bridges, dams, pipe lines
and other structures off them, or we
can do our engineering so that when
the next earth slip comes the effect
will be negligible.
eff the wriggling line of the 1906
fault had been accurately known the
Spring Valley Water Company would
not have had it's pipe line laid over it,
the water would not have been shut
off and this city would not have been
destroyed.
"In projecting the great Hetch
Hetchy municipal water system to
this city Engineer Freeman asked my
advice as consulting geologist.
pointed out that near Irvington the
line would have to cross an active
fault which sooner or later would
shift and cause a break in the line.
Freeman proposes to remedy this by
constructing valve above the fault
and erecting a repair station near by.
"In the enormously long and ex-
pensive pipe lines which Los Angeles
has built from Owens valley it has
been impossible to avoid crossing an
active fault which will in time cause
break. The city of Los Angeles has
sought to minimize the danger by con-
structing a huge reservoir and repair
facilities near by.
"In the Panama canal zone there
is a glaring example of the need of
gathering earthquake data. At pres
ent it is evident that there is no in
telligent study, and the engineers are
working in the dark.
"This whole problem should be un-
der government supervision. Econom
ically, it should be a part of the
duties of the weather bureau. In due
time the comparison and tabulation
of information on all quakes would
give us working knowledge of all
the menacing faults, and we could
guard against their damaging eff
fects."

NAVAJOS HAVE RECORDS
KEPT FOR 1900 YEARS


Philadelphia, Dec. 16-Records
which, it is asserted, upset all the
cries of government experts regard
ing the origin of the Navajo Indians,
and show a complete diary of the
leading events in the life of that tribe
for 1900 years, are on the way from
Arizona to the University of Penn
sylvania museum, according to an an
nouncement here.
The discovery was due to the chill
dren of Shewank, present chief of the
Navajos, who persuaded their father
to allow the records to be made pub
lie for the benefit of science. Ane-
none Shewank, graduate of the In
dian school at Carlisle, is now in Phil
adelphia arranging with Prof. B. G.
Gordon of the university museum for
the compilation and translation of the
records.
The records are carved on stone,
burned on bark, nodded in pottery and
drawn on the skins and parchments
with human blood, Indian inks and
charcoal.
One of the remarkable features of
the records is the reference to three
distinct races on the continent OF
North America a thousand years or
more ago.
These people, according to the
characters with which they are per-
petuated, were of entirely different
blood and antecedents and their GUS
toms and habits of life were at great
variance. Just who the three peoples
were and their possible origin is eX-
pected to be disclosed by the experts
who are to examine the records.

Imperial to Ask
ti-District Man

Reports from Imperial indicate that
an effort is to be made to get the
supervisors to appoint to the director
ate of the irrigation district man
who is opposed to the district. 1t
seems hardly credible that the super
visors would make such an appoint
ment, for through the very nature of
the case, such an appointment would
work against the district, instead of
for it.
There are good men in the Imperial
district to fill the vacancy who would
contribute to the strength of the or
ganization, and it is not to be sup
posed the supervisors will select a
man who is now and has been fight
