VIEWPOINTS
Is This Pure FOOdi

Editor the n:-There is a
certain Missouri town where a few
grocers and meat-market proprietors
have habit of displaying their wares
to the public. OF course there is moth
ing Objectionable in that, but these
merchants persist in exposing fresh
meats to other things than the public
gaze. Meat cuts, backbOnes. spare-ribs,
hams and even whole carcasses are
placed on exhibition outside the door
with no protection from the various
things which blow along the principal
street of the town.
Some meat markets attain the same
results by keeping the doors open on
warm days. A few grocers take the
precaution to place dressed chickens
in a dirty show case on the sidewalk.
Others lay them on newspapers which
upon exposure to the windblown fer
tilizers of the street are unrecogniza-
BILE within an hour. Is this pure
food? B.

Lest We FORGET,

Editor the Seniors of
the University of Wisconsin have pro-
posed a loan fund for needy students
as class memorial A committee
was appointed to confer with the state
commissioner OF insurance. The plan
proposed is that each senior take out
a 2O-year insurance policy of 800. The
treasurer of the board of regents will
be made the beneficiary. At .he end
of 20 years the money is to be paid
over to the trust fund. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 will thus be available to
needy students.
1t is customary for each senior class
of the University of Missouri to leave
a memorial. Pursuant to this custom
a meeting Of the seniors was called a
few weeks ago and an assessment of
S150 on each senior was levied. One
dollar is to go toward a monument ON
the campus or some other useless
memorial to the class. and 80 cents
toward a loan fund for University

SPELLING.

The inability of American children
and even grown-up peOple-to spell
the English language stands out
strongly in all their manuscripts. 1t
is even worse than our mixed vertical
slant writing.
As closely related as is spelling to
the Americans. three RS it is natu-
rally expected that great stress be
laid on its teaching. The fact that it
is taught thoroughly is perhaps due to
its intricacy.
Our spelling is antiquated. 1t has
failed to keep up with the times.
Punctuation changes continuously and
has been changing for centuries. But
of spelling it can nearly be said that
it stands still. The differences in the
pronunciation of words and the way
lHes are Spelleu hidht SpeliihS WI
fusing to the child.
There is a society in this country
which would change the spelling and
bring it up to date This is the SIM
plified Spelling Board. They would
start with such words as thru" and
tho" gradually extending the changes
so our language would be spelled
phonetically.
Difficulties arise in putting their re-
forms in practice. Publishers and
printers are not enthusiastic about
the changes. The future of the move
ment depends largely on their atti-
tude. 1t was with the invention of
printing that the growth or changing
of spelling stopped.
All will agree that there should
be changes in spelling to make it con-
form to pronunciation. The solution
of this problem depends on authors,
editors, publishers, educators and all
who have occasion to write.

that Missouri leads all the states in
the United States. The state of Mis-
souri, is the first state in the Union in
the amount of tobacco revenue taxes.
and the second state in the Union in
the amount of brewery taxes paid.
Missouris own consumption of beer
averages pa pints to each man, wo-
man and child.
An enviable record, some would say,
in considering the amount of business
! ldOne-but is it an enviable record?
When states are going dry" every
month or so, can We Missourians
point with pride to the states beer,
whisky and whisky rectifying indus
try? Missouri, the center of the farm
ing district, the outlet for the great
Southwest's products and business, is
the first state in the Union in the
amount of beer exported.
Missouri is making a strong fight
against statewide prohibition and the
argument of the amount of business
done and the number of employees in
the brewery and distillery businesses
is a strong argument against state
wide prohibition. Yet the smaller
towns of the state are going dry" one
by one and there will come a time
when the votes of Kansas City and st.
Louis, the centers of the whisky and
beer businesses. respectively. cannot
overthrow the votes of the entire
state. NJ.

Southern farmer while the value OF the
tobacco crop has doubled since 1884.
Still more remarkable is the growth
of manufacturing in that section. The
obvious advantages of making cotton
goods at the very source of the supply
has led to the foundation of great
industry in the Piedmont region of the
Carolinas and Georgia and within flf-
teen years the value of manufactured
cotton goods in the South has increas-
ed from fifty millions to more than
two hundred millions a year.
Few regions have in modern times
been so completely prOstrated by the
rigors of war as the southern states.
Yet no country similarly circum-
stanced has so quickly and substan-
tiaIly regained and redOubled its lost
prosperity. Rich in mineral resources.
which are as yet almost untouched.
and the seat of the worlds greatest
cotton belt, the South promises, with
the further development of its manu-
featuring facilities. an even greater
advance in the next decade than it has
made i'm the last.

GROWING.

Columbia is growing; the University
is growing. The growth goes shoulder
to shoulder. Last years building re-
port of Columbia shows the expendi-
ture of one-third million dollars. Why
was this much building done. 1t was
simply because both the city and
school are expanding.
Last years report probably does not
surpass what this year will be. The
appropriation already made for Uni
versity buildings is more than was
spent last year. The building of res
idences last year was not a boom; so
why not expect as many or more hous-
es to be built this year?
Missouri University ranks seven
teenth in size among the universities
of the country. Taking in cOnsidera-
ton the past growth and the read
justment of the curricula the last three
years, what should be expected of this
school in the next five or ten years?
On the other hand, in view of the
prospects for Industrial expansion re-
sulting from possible electric lines
and larger business and the effects
from larger University, what may be
expected of Columbia in the next five
or ten years?
We do not have dreams of making
Columbia the metropolis of Missouri
or this the national university of
America, but there is material for a
dream of city and university which
will lead in the state and the Middle
West

THE NEW SOUTH.

During the last fifteen years this
country has been accumulating wealth
at an extraordinary rate. A study OF
the origin of this wealth discloses a
change which has taken place SO
gradually that it has hardly been no
ticed.
The real increase in accumulated
wealth is now coming, not from the
states bordering on the Atlantic. but
from the Middle West and South. Not
so many years ago the New England
and Middle Atlantic States were the
scene of growing industries, but with
in the last twenty years the scene has
shifted to the West and South.
The breaking up of the Southern
plantations into smaller farms at the
close of the war necessitated more
intensive farming methods and great
ly increased the annual output of agri-
cultural products. In cotton alone the
increased acreage with the develop
ment of a more extended market has
more than trippled the value of the
yearly output.
The possibilities of corn culture, too
are just beginning to dawn on the
