tended over a much longer period-an

about time something was done for the
credit of the United States farmer?
Only three-fourth of the farmers
of the United States own their farms.
In Missouri the average is not SO good,
for only 30 per cent of the farmers
own their farms. The tenant system
brings bad methods of farming and
bad social conditions. The fact that
SO few own their farms is proof
enough that something should be done
to better rural credit and thus enable
more farmers to own their land. We

BOOKS FOR THE PRISONER.

Ignorant, unframed and uncontroll-
ed, he came into prison chatting at the
hard luck or the spite which had put
him behind the bars. OBTAINING him
for one year or for ten has made little
difference, if he comes out with the
same standard of conduct, the same
ignorance and lack of control"
There are in the United States about
10000 men and women in the national
and state prisons. approximately as
per cent of these are serving sentences
from one to ten years.
One possible source of aid in char
acter building for these men and wom-
en- is much neglected, according TO a
writer in The Survey, who has inves-
tigated twenty-three prison libraries.
Most of these he finds "far below the
average public library of the same
size" Wife in Name Only" "A
Woman's Temptation" Sharing Her
Crime" Lost for Woman" are a few
of the fiction titles that suggest the
nature of the novels furnished prison.
ers. History, biography and travel
are represented for the most part by
antiquated, uninteresting volumes, The
Survey says. The detective story is
found in wide use in prison libraries.
The convict cannot be re-made until
his environment is conductive to a |
re-making. He cannot be taught the
value of high morals unless he as I,
sociates with them. Through the Ii !
braries every man and woman behind |
the bars should have a chance to meet /
the best men and women who have
spoken TO the world. Trained librar-
ians, who know the criminal mind. and
books are the only remedy for the
present situation in prison libraries.
Filling the libraries with good books
will not get results. They must be
read. The librarian must devise
means of inducing the prison inmates
TO associate with good authors, if the
best results are to be obtained. But
first there is need for the good auth
ors with whom the prisoners may as
sociate.

The Sayiiar Queen.

Editor the Missourian: Owing TO
the misunderstanding among the stu
dents. the Savitar Board wishes TO
state that the popular girl contest 10
be held at the Ad Club Carnival is
connected in 10 way with the Savitar.
No doubt the wrong impression arises
from the fact that the Sayitar Queen
was elected last year at the Carnival.
This year she will be chosen at a
student election.
We hope that the Carnival Queen
will be no less a success than if she
were the Savitar Queen. Our reason
for Withdrawing the election from
the Carnival was to give all the STU
dents the opportunity to express their
choice, without restriction, for the
girl who goes down in record as the
most popular girl at the University
of Missouri in 1913.

spirit was foremost in killing this con-
dition, but We had nothing grow out
of it. We say that We have the spirit
of 1909 and talk of it as orators talk
of the spirit of &c, but where is it?
We have killed the departmental ri
valry. but We have done nothing to re-
place it, Unless We get down and push,
it will ultimately kill the school.
We come here with the idea that
everything must be measured in dol
lars and cents. We hoot at cultural
subjects and especially the College of
Arts and Science We use it simply
as a means of getting a professional
degree which means dollars and cents
courses.
We kick because men like Judge
Hinton, Professor Lovejoy and others
leave. We never consider that it is
the fault of ourselves. We blame the
state, but we never attempt to rectiiy
any false impressions about the school
or to advertise il in legitimate man.

Board of Curators. Whose fault is it
that these conditions are as they are?
1t is yours and mine and the fault of
each and every one of the alumni
who knocks and opposes things.

lend his aid in seeing that it is at
least a success until a better solution
presents itself.
The stimulus must come from the
inside and at least make the outgo-
ing classes more loyal if it does not
bring the alumni back. We cannot
expect all of the alumni back and
must not be disappointed when only
a few who are loyal do come. We
must make this commencement one
never 10 be forgotten and these men
who come will in turn use their in
fiuence.
As to the second proposition. Some
one has a theory that it will cost
$4,000. What if it costs $1,000 1000?
Won't it be worth il? If the gentle
man who figured this way will figure
again and get some real statistics, he
will find that his estimate is rather
high. What if it does keep man
here an extra week? Cannot he do
something for his alma mater? He
will certainly find that his alma mater
can do more for him if he does some
thing for her. 1t will inconvenience
only a few hundred students. at the
outside.
We have a spirit in this school en-
tirely foreign TO any proper concep-
tiOn of loyalty which should exist in
a university. We feel We are confer
ring a favor on the institution by
coming here, instead of thinking that
the state and the institution are fav-
oring us by letting lis come.
We think We are trimmed" on ev-
cry corner and we do not stop to con
slider that this is the cheapest good
college in the country. This spirit .
may be due TO the fact that too much
is given us free of charge. AS the saw
ing goes, the more you get for
nothing. the more you want" Many
things we get for nothing are cheaper-
I'd because We do not fully appreciate

student saves money on his college
course by coming here where the fees
ire low. cannot that student spend one
'Xtra week here at his own expense

'annot. he must be extremely selfish. 4
There are few students here whom i.
would materially injure.
Others argue that it is a bad time

his argument will also not hold

We must not feel that this is a bur-
en- on us, nor that it is depriving us
our just departmental rights. We
ave no rights. They are considered
such by many, but they are privi-
'ges which have been granted. In
lany cases they have been sadly
bused. In fact, if these assumed
ghts are injurious to the general
University spirit. they should be TAX
