SPRING FEVER.

The epidemic of spring fever is
here, but it need not cause alarm
Had the cold. cloudy weather con-
tinued. the spring fever would have
been prevented, but other fevers
more serious, pneumonia, for example
would have come instead.
The symptoms of spring fever are
a longing to throw down ones work
and go fishing, a strong desire to
lie down in the sun all day without
moving, a feeling that life indoors
isn't worth while, a longing for ma
ture When a person succumbs to
the disease work is impossible. He
goes fishing or sits in the sun and
does nothing.
In other words spring fever is
judicious laziness. 1t is that feeling
of disgust for work that comes after
a long winter of toll. To the person
who has worked hard during the
stormy months of winter, the first
spring days bring a new interpreta-
tion of life. They bring a love for
nature. They create the desire to
live with nature This brings on the
attack of spring fever. But it is
only the soul that is capable of re-
spending to nature that can have an
attack of real spring fever

VALUE or THE Y. N. c. A.

The recent celebration of the
twenty-third anniversary of the found,
ing of the Y. NJ. {. A. at the Uni
versity of Missouri is a reminder OF
the growth of this useful agency in
student life.
Doctor Black well expressed the
part that the Y. VI. {. A. has in the
affairs at the University when he said
that, since students at a state univer-
sity are not under the direct influence
of any church. the institution should
foster the work of the Y. VI. c. A,
and that, unless it did this. the state
institution had no right to draw stu
dents away from the denominational
colleges.
The Y. NJ G. A. has for its funda-
mental aim the furthering of religious
life. Ii not only works to lead men
to noble living but it affords social
and recreative advantages. II de-
serves the support of every man in
the University.

STILL THE DIVORCE RATE GROWS
Missouri Has One Broken Marriage in Every
Eight-Various Efforts Made to Solve
the Problem.
Uniform Legislation Difficult

Uniform divorce legislation" says
the report, lis one Of the most difficult
things to obtain. Marriage and di.
vorce laws are among the hardest
subjects to deal with uniformly in
country of people widely apart in
their social traditions and legal
methods"
The English Royal Commission in
its three-year report on divorce rec
commended the increase of the legal
causes for divorce from one to six.
These six are about the same as
those recommended by our commits
sion on Uniform Divorce Law.
However, the English add insanity,
which has disappeared from many of
our state laws.
Church action in regard to divorce
is recommended in this report by the
Federal Council of Churches OF
America. They not only ask for uni
form marriage and divorce laws but
would have comfy between churches
SO that persons who cannot be mar
ried by their own minister will not
resort to those of other churches.
They also recommend great care in
the marriage of persons unknown to
the clergymen, and of those who are
morally or physically unfit for mar
ried life" M. l..

ILLlTERACY IN COLUMBIA.

One out of every fifteen citizens in
Columbia ever 10 years old was il.
literate in 1910. Out of every foul
negroes, one was illiterate, whereas
the ratio for the whites was one il.
literate out of every fifty persons
One in three of the negro voters was
illiterate.
Apparently, then, illiteracy in Co.
lumbia is problem among the
negroes, not among the whites
Perhaps the majority of the unedu.
Gated is made up from the Older
negroes, many of whom were slaves
But the fact remains that many OF
the negroes and whites, are poorly
educated. Their mental training is ol
little service to them in earning theil
bread. Here is where the system o
education might be remedied to q
good advantage. The majority o
people must earn a livelihood in Other
fields than purely intellectual pur.
suits. Why not adapt the course o
training to serve their needs?
II is especially true for the negroes
that the average school curriculum
is not as serviceable to them as in
dustrial training would be. There
are many children in all races tha
prefer industrial training. The sam,
is doubtless true of Columbia. Many
who now get little value from theil
school training would have profitet
from industrial training in school.

adoption of the initiative and refer.
endum in this state the long list oi
amendments has become an impor.
tant feature of each general election
The fact that few Of the amendments
ever get through does not seem to
deter others. With each recurring
election year a new list is ready
Seven amendments have been pass
ed upon by the General Assembly and
will be submitted to the voters in
1914. They are:
Authorizing ST. Louis and other
cities to be indebted to the extent of
per cent of their taxable valuation
to build subways or acquire utilities.
Levying a tax of 10 per cent on the
500 assessed valuation for good
roads.
Increasing the salary of members
of the legislature to $1,000 a year.
Authorizing the voters of any road
district to vote not to exceed 65 cents
on the 500 valuation for road pur-
poses.
Exempting single tax from the oper-
alton of the initiative and referendum.
Authorizing the issue of bonds by
Kansas City to purchase its public
utilities. and providing these bonds
shall be taxed against the utilities
purchased and not against the debt
making power of the city.
Authorizing the legislature to pro-
vide pensions for the blind.
