CHEATING THE STATE.

NJ CldSS vi pCio 10 ihoi '
lacking in social consciousness
than the graduates of our great
American universities and colleges.
Men who use the advantages they
have gained by an education by one
of the public institutions of this
country to merely further their own
ends are guilty of embezzlement.
Public education must be regarded
as a public trust. 1t is disgraceful
that when we want social workers,
physicians to work for the state,
lawyers to frame sound laws, INTEL
lgent men to serve on juries, it is
almost impossible to find them"
The speaker was Prof. Graham
Taylor, founder of the Chicago
Commons and president of the Chi
cago School of Civics and Philan-
thropy. He was addressing an au-
dience of University men and wom-
en- at the University Assembly.
This thrust of Professor Taylor's
ought to go home to a great many
students in the University of Mis-
souri,. Hardly anywhere else in the
United States are students given,
literally given, such educational ad-
vantages.
The people of Missouri, the tax
payers of the state, support the Uni
versity. From their pockets come
the funds necessary for the main
tenance of this institution.
The student here is not receiving
his education as a gift. He should
regard his training as something
for which he must render account
to the state that gave it to him.
When he takes a course in the Uni
versity he assumes a responsibility
Ito make some commensurate re-
turn to the people that made this
training possible for him. He should
think of himself as trustee for his
education.
Too many students come to the
University and leave it with the
idea that an education is merely
means to personal advancement.
The state is educating her young
people to make better citizens of
them, to enable them to serve their
less fortunate fellow citizens in ca
pacities for which they are fitted by
a college education. The college
graduate who leaves his alma mater
without the purpose to render SER
vice to the state in return for the
he has received is cheat
ing the state.
To fulfill this trusteeship we'll |
the student in college must make |
the most of the opportunities that |
he finds at hand. The graduate
must leave college with the aim to
serve and to serve greatly.

The Literary Trawler
The Extremes Touch.

In this round world of many cir
cles within circles do We make a
weary journey from the high grades
to the low, to find at last they lie
close together, that the two ex-
tremes touch, and that our jour
ney's end is but our starting-place.

INDIVIDUAL WORK.

Some of the county clubs are
planning extensive campaigns dur
ing the holidays for the purpose OF
advertising the University in their
communities. Speeches, athletic
contests and entertainments of va
rious kinds are made use of in this
work of getting the high school
students interested in the Uniyer
sity of Missouri. Ever since their
organization these county clubs and
the Ad Club have done a good work
in this respect.
But of the 1900 students here
only a comparative few belong to
these clubs and do their share of
the work. In many counties there
will be no such campaign. What,
then, can be done in them? The in
dividual student can become an ad-
ertiser. Talk University, explain
University, hunt up next springs
high school graduates and tell them
of the University. This is one of
the very best ways to boost Mis-
souri,, and even in those counties
where the clubs are going to work
it will be well to supplement their
more elaborate program with this
individual campaign. 1t makes a
personal appeal to those you are
trying to reach, and that counts.

OU|MET AND TRAvERS PICKED AS FAVOR|TES IN COMING GOLF
 CHAMPIONSHIP IN ENGLAND
Competition for Amateur Championship of England Is Con- siderably Keener with Entrance of
 Full Quota of American Golfers

American champions, Jerome Travers and Francis Ouimet and the form shown by them during the early days of the practice abroad appears to war rant this faith. The fact that rec. ord entry is expected and the luck of the draw may develop handicapping combinations must be taken into con sideration. Under these conditions there exists the possibility that one Of the minor ranked players, either Eng. fish or American, may come through and prove the surprise fthe tourna- ment as was the case in the American open championship last fall, when Ointment sprang into international fame by tying and then defeating Ray and Vardon in the play-off for the title
 Regardless of the outcome, however, the coming tournament at Sandwich promises to be one of the most i'm portant from an international stand. point. ever staged in England. Al. though the entry list does not close until May l2, and the draw made the following day, elaborate preparations for the tournament are already under way The few hotels and inns have been booked to capacity for weeks past and the question of accommoda. tions is a serious problem for the late entrants. A special train for golfers and spectators will be run between London and the course. Sandwich is seyenty-two miles from London, but off the main line and the ordinary running time is close to three hours. Because of the poor transit facilities in the past the gallery has seldom exceeded three or four hundred Con. ditions,, however, will be entirely diff ferent this season, for fin addition to the American entries, Canada, Austra- lia and France are also represented together with the usual English entry. This international gathering of golf CTS will undoubtedly attract a gallery of several thousand
 The course from a playing stand point is considered an excellent test of all-round ability and the winner of the final round will well deserve the honors which go with the cham pionship. The distance for the full eighteen holes is 6,594 yards. The course has been greatly altered and heightened since 1904 when Walter J. Travis won the English champion ship there and is considerably differ ent from the course as usually played on by club members, Under the championship conditions the outward round will be 3.O43 yards with a scratch score of Ss. The sixth hole is the shortest, l60 yeards and the sev nth the longest, being 490 yards from tee to cup. Coming home the course is 3.55i yards with the sixteenth the

NEW YORK, April 2S.-lf numerical strength is taken as the standard there will be no question in England the playing of the English amateur championship on the Royal St. George Golf Club course at Sandwich. May IS and l9. Although the entry list does not close until May F the United States contingent for Sandwich all ready totals eleven and late entries from home players and those living abroad may almost double this mum. Der. That it is the desire of the Royal St George Club to make the 1914 Eng fish amateur championship real in ternational competition is attested to by the fact that more than one thou sand invitations to compete have been sent to all parts of the world.
 The American response must cer- tainly be gratifying since almost a doz- en amateurs including the United States open and amateur champions, are already practicing on English links for the coming event Whether the honor of capturing the five hundred dollar trophy emblematlc of the championship will fall to the lot of any one of these entrants only the future will disclose. Regardless of the final outcome, however. it can be safetly assumed that no other nation so far removed from England as the United States will be represented by a contingent of golfers superior either in quality or quantity.
 At the present time eleven pros pective competitors from the United States are gathering at Sandwich and even though there are no further addi tions to this squad. American golf will be well represented. Using the 1913 handicap list of the United States Golf Association. as rating basis these players and the clubs of which they are members, are as follows:
 Scratch-Jerome D. Travers. Upper Montclair Country Club. Upper Mont clair, N. J., United States amateur champion; handicap 2-Frederick Her resshoff. National Links Shinnecook, L. l.; handicap 3-P. w. Whittemore, Brookline Country Club, Brookline. Mass. handicap 4-Francis Ouimet.

THE FLYING MERCURY" OF THE NATIONAL PASST|ME COMMENTED
 UPON BY GAMES BIG CRITICS
Clyde Milan, the FeetFooted Base-Runner of the Washing ton Senators Is Held Up as Shining Ex-
 ample of Efficiency the Bases

Milan the Marvel" Is the title of an article in the May Baseball Maga. zine, in which the fleet-footed Wash. ington star Is called The Flying Mercury of the Diamond, the man who shattered the American league record, the greatest base-runner of the decade"
 Milan, who was born in Tennessee, rounds out that famous quartet of Southern stars whose other members are Iris Speaker, Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson, Big Four" of outer gar. deners. so the article states. who have no equal in either league.
 lillian, whose real name Is Jesse Clyde, was signed by the Washington club in 1907.
 Clark Griffith comes foreward with these Illuminating remarks:
 Clyde Milan Is the greatest base. stealer in the game. His record proves it. He deserves to be called the greatest, and l am glad to do what I can toward getting him the NAlAts AhNit wan d AAiht "htu iotoNutl was the best in the business He kas fine fellow and was glad to see him have so much success. But Milan has beat him now at his own game; there is no doubt about it.
 Two years ago he broke the Ameri. can league record by stealing ss bases. He would have had 9l if one game in St. Louis had not been thrown out on account of rain. Last year he didn't do quite ss we'll. but he led both leagues. If he could hit as we'll as Cobb or Collins and Ge. to first as often, he would steal 100 bases"
 The following sage remarks of the great base-runner. labeled. "Nayims of Milan" are gleaned from the article:
 Bhse-stealing Is far moro of an ant or science than most people imagine.
 However fast man may be. there is always something for him to learn.
 l am learning all the time and con sider myself still a beginner
 There are three distinct operations fin stealing a base. First to lead, second the sprint and third the slide. The start is the most important of the three

which shows whether or not player has 1t in him to become srea; base runner.
 The base-stealer. like the bat.Cr. $ always trying to out guess the pitcher.
 Base-stealing Is largely game of bluff on both sides. I have often got commanding lead and success fully stolen base when all l origin ally intended to do was tc work the pitcher.
 Every pitcher has a blun nation in winding up before delivering q ball to the batter.
 Many fast men are poor aaso- stealers.
 Many good base-stealers art not fast.
 A good sprinter does not lihan good base-runner
 The sprinter starts from . crouch. ing position and at given signal.
 The base-stealer starts from an upright position and has to time his own start to the fraction of a second.
 Cobb is perhaps the most reckless base-stealer in the game, but he never gets injured. sprained both ankles myself learning the hook slide, but l haven't sprained them since l learned it. always slide feet first.
 Sliding loses time. but gives the runner a chance to dodge being tagged by baseman.
 Cobb will beat a slow man by stride on sheer speed between first and second base.
 Speed is an advantage to any base stealer; a necessity to the top. notcher,
 More important than speed is the ability to slide.
 Sliding bases Is dangerous only to the man who does not know how.
 The individual player must always subordinate his own interests to the interest of the club,
 Batting Is the greatest of the out. fielder's talents.
 consider Iris Speaker the great. est outfielder in the game.

AFGANISTAN'S AMIR IS NOW 4 DEV0TEE
 OF GAME 0f GOLF

KABUL Afghanistan, April 2S.-This country. which has kept itself as free as any place in the orient from west ern institutions. has finally succumbed to the charms of golf The sponsor of the royal and ancient game is the Amir himself, who Is rapidly becom- ing an expert player under the ute. lage of a Scottish mining engineer. This Scotchman came to Kabul, look ing for mining concessions. He brought with him his bag of clubs on the remote chance of finding golf links in a country which had cherished q prejudice against any game played with a bail since the time of Omar Khayyam, and soon discovered that the monarch was fonder of talking sport than business. When he spoke enthusiastically Of the Scottish royal game, the Amir lost no time in put ting a corps of sappers and miners 10 work constructing a course under the direction of the visitor. Since that time the Amir has become a devoted exponent of the game and he has at tained fair degree Of proficiency But no matter what his skill, he bids fair to remain champion of the coun' try for 1t is not considered polite to defeat a man who enjoys the power Of life and death over every one of his subjects.
 The game has reduced the girth of the Amir and improved his health, but he is afraid of oyerdoing it, so at his winter capital he Is having built miniature links dc luxe. lin. tied in size and as smooth as a ten his lawn.
