The Writer'S Club.

Editor the Missourian: The Writ
ers' Club just organized by students
in the University fills a place that
has long been vacant at Missouri.
Every University of any consequence
has some kind of a literary club.
The new venture is the result of a sug-
gestion from members of the English
department.
Last year small magazine was
started, but for lack of support it
failed. The student promoters were
unable to get enough advertising 20
Offset the expense. This year it is
different. Once a month the club will
issue a supplement to the University
Missourian. A circulation was assur-
ed even before the club was organiz-
ed. Members who write well enough

Teaching Journalism.

Editor the NIissourian: Students
should be given practical training on
how to figure the cost of printing and
how to manage a shop, if the courses
in our schools of journalism are to
be made complete. The bread-and-
butter problem is the greatest prob
lem the journalist must face, especial
ly in the country field. If we teach
only how to write, to edit and 70
discriminate, We are preparing men
for the field of metropolitan journal
ism only. The man who goes into the
field Of country journalism mus,

PARCEL POST FOR MERCHANTS.

Retail stores i'm small country
towns may capitalize the parcel post
service recently started by the gov
ernment. Mail-order houses are u.s.
ing the new system of delivery, and
the same thing is possible for the
small town merchant
A Columbia merchant has a large
sign in his show window, offering
to deliver merchandise by parcel
post Another local firm is running
an advertisement on special parcel
post grocery orders. A Kansas City
retail store is advertising in Col
umbia paper and offers to pay the
parcel post charges OH goods to Col
umbia.
1t is the same everywhere. The
up-to-date merchant can broaden his
field of business and increase his
daily profits by doing the same thing
that the mail-order houses are doing.

will have a hard time carrying out the
excellent ideas taught i'm our schools
The weight of the opinions of any
editor must depend a great deal upon
the success of the editor. To exert
a wholesome influence in a commun-
ity, a thing every newspaper should
do, the editor must be successful in
the management of his own business.
Otherwise people will have very little
faith in what he says. The news
paper must have material prosperity
to have effective influence.
The schools of journalism have
proved that they can teach men to
write, to edit and to discriminate
Ninety per cent of all who have talk
en- any work in our own School of
Journalism are now engaged in news
paper work. This should be sufficient
proof of the efficiency of teaching
journalism. But the training in
journalism will not be complete until
course in newspaper management
and cost finding is added to the cur

good position with a reasonably gooc
salary. On the contrary, this is the
first and most essential step toward
matrimony. Any girl who deliber-
ately gives up a good home with a
loving father and mother, and throws
herself upon the care of young man
who is a Jack of all trades and mas
ter of none," lacks good common
sense. and will sooner or later rue
the day she made such a step.
The young man should know the
girl he intends to make his wife. 1t
takes time to learn her nature, her
disposition, her likes and dislikes.
What she likes and dislikes before
she marries, she is sure to like and
dislike after she marries.
One can not fix any set rule as to
the amount the young man should
have to marry on. This is a ques-
tion he must decide for himself.
After the girl, the money question is
the most important. 1t should al
ways be remembered,
When you ask a girl to leave her
happy homestead,
To sail with you upon the matri-
monial foam,
You should seek employment then,
Earn your way and wages when
You ask a girl to leave her happy
home"
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1913-01-22
A MARRYING INCOME.

How much young man should
have to marry on depends on the girl
he intends to marry. If she has been
accustomed to having monthly al
lowance from her father, besides
having all the little luxuries which a
girl SO loves to possess, then the
young man must expect that she will
want the same things after she is
married. There are exceptions to
this rule, however. as there are to
every rule. In the case of an excep-
ton, the young woman, no matter
how rich she may be, how many
clothes she is used to having, or how
much money her parents give her,
would be willing to give up these
extras and to economic. 1t does not
follow that because the girl is willing
to deny herself in order that she and
her husband may make ends meet,
that the young man need not have a

tunities that one can hardly get in

writer's. pen pushers" there are
many, but really, good, original writ
ers are few. The newspapers and
magazines of today want men and
women who know how to write and
what to say.
Students in all departments should
join the organization. 1t matters not
what one intends to follow as his life's
work, he will never be successful if
he cannot tell what he knows in d
clear and interesting way to other per-
sons. This club aims to teach these
things. You ought to be a member.

She smiled as he said this. She
did not wish to appear embittered at
the cold reception the town had ac-
corded her, and she tried to smooth
it over But he insisted.
1T may be that there is bunch of
highbrows over here who can't appre-
ciate anything but problem plays.
But they ought to give fellow a hand
after he tries to entertain them, and
not sit there as if they had been frozen

She smiled again and murmureG
something about his being in a bal
humor. But he insisted that he was
lust speaking facts" and would not
share her optimism.
There Are Other Towns.
But even he comforted himself in
one thing. Not all towns were full
of highbrows and college boys. They
had been appreciated, over and over
again. he said, during their ten years
of travelling together. They had in
fact just returned from the West,
where they made great hit. And in
their three trips over the United
States, Canada and Mexico. they had
played in some of the largest play
houses in these countries. They were
entitled to all this appreciation. For
ten years they had been in the theatrl-
cal game together, and separately
they had been at it even longer. She
started away back in 1898, when she
was still Miss Helen Myrtle. He start

together they named themselves Kraft

they married.

GREATER SAFETY AT SEA.

1t has been almost a year since the
sinking of the Titanic. 1t created
quite a stir at the time and almost
everybody was talking about greater
safety at sea. But before the ship
companies had time to do anything
about the matter the agitation had
stopped and the people had almost
forgotten about it. The world is ap-
parently too busy to think long of
such a matter and it may be well
that it does not.
However, there is little question
but that some sort of committee
should be appointed to see that
greater safety is maintained upon the
sea. Someone is needed to follow up
the work that the public has forgot
ten. Charles Nagel, secretary of the
Bureau of Commerce and Labor, has
suggested the most plausible thing
so far. That is an international con-
ference to evolve plans and work for
greater safety at sea. The conference
would discuss the merits of all safety
Appliances and then work out some
sort of method to see that these ap-
pliances are put upon the ships and
are kept in working order. The COM
mittee to see about this work would
have to be international in character
because of the number of nations
carrying passengers on the seas. |
The conference could decide upon the |
number of men needed in the enforce
ment of these rules of safety and |
then each nation could furnish a GER
tain number of men to make up a
committee for that purpose. The
committee could also have the power
to examine new appliances and pass
upon their efficiency.
Something should be done. The
people i'm their desire for speed will
soon cause the ship companies to
follow the dangerous and quicker
ocean routes and to do away with
the life saving apparatus because of
the added weight There should be
someone to impress responsibility
upon them and see that they heed at
least the ordinary rules of safety.

Prof. w. S. Williams was conduct
ing an elementary surveying class IN
their field work. One party had just
closed compass survey and was
checking up the work. 1t was found
that a mistake had been made. Mr..
Williams came up about that time and
asked them what had caused the er-
ror. One engineer offered the sugges-
tion that it was local attraction" at
some point near the instrument.
"Yes, l guess it must have been due
most to some sort of local attraction"
said the professor as he glanced
down the walk at the two girls who
had just passed.
1t was after the suggestion in 1911
that the BEAT Kansas" signs should
be taken down, and a group of stu
