RECREATION IS
GREAT PROBLEM
-FARGo's POLICE MATRoN. MRS
IRMA ERWIN PoPPLER, TELLS
OF GREATEST CIVIC PROBLEM
OF DAY, WHICH. Is REcREA-
'TI0N.

when we approach a big problem,
that we can not fully understand
because of its complications, our first
impulse is to abolish everything that
has contributed to the making of that
problem" said Mrs. Irma Erwin Pop
pier, the Fargo police matron. 1.-THE
recreation problem is the biggest one
that our cities have to consider. This
is the reason for the activities of cities
in the direction Of parks and play
grounds. They recognize it as some
thing of the deepest social value and
civic significance.
Whoever and whatever helps chill
dren and youth and adults have a
good time without being bad, is doing
a great and manifold good which is
all the more religious for being human,
says Graham Taylor in his Religion in
Social Action. Froebel, that matchless
teacher says the divinity implanted
and imperious instinct for play is
youths chief concern and the edu-
Gators most masterfuI asset. And nc
one will deny that education today
must prepare our youth to meet al
environment which is artificial. which
forces them to accept adult pleasures
before they have acquired a mature
reasoning power.
10 many people dancing is an evil
to be abolished from all social life. The
psychology, Of the dance is something
that has been the concern of earnest
thinkers Of our modern times. The
prevalence Of this form of recreation
has been a big question with all social
workers, churches. and organizations
for civic betterment. The modern
dance pavilion in III cities and sum-
mer resorts NAV seem q far crv frorn

"The test Of a mans character is
his playtime and the use he makes OF
that. We are shaped and fashioned
by what we love, and is is our bust
ness to make conditions as far as pos
sible after the model we would have
our youth fashioned. In the last re-
sort, says Vergil, a country falls back
upon the sounGneSs OF heart and
cleanness of blood of it's sons and
daughters. If it fails there, with even
a glut of gold in the markets, the old
prophecy is fulfilled will make a
man more rare than gold, even a man
than pure gold of Ophir.' Lord teach
US how to play is the earnest and
reverent prayer of a wideaWake ma
ton. Then only can We say that we
know how to renew a right spirit
within us.
"A CONSTRUCTIVE program which Will
provide recreation for all is not to be
accomplished in a day nor a year nor
possibly a generation. It means years
of encouragement and criticism, yet a
growing capacity for sympathy and
understanding. an open mind and con
secrated effort. But let it not continue
to be said that our cattle are inspected,
our forests protected but our youth
neglected.

Thus are life's charges paid.

every morning with just such ter

In everything about us day af-

them out with a regularity that is

Should We give thanks only once
a year? To be sure, we shouldn't.
Dur every waking thought should
be a prayer of thanksgiving. When
we falter, when we fear for a
while that our luck has changed,
that God is not good to us, let US
remember how much worse many

4 Beat EN- at Everything!

Editor of the Missourian: Yes
terday / heard something that
made me proud of the fact that
am from the U. of NJ. l met a fell
low by the name of Crabbe, who
was captain of last years track
team at California University. He
is now taking post graduate work
at Kansas University and is think
ing of coming to Missouri the sec
ond semester. We were speaking
of the Missouri-Kansas game, and
he remarked that he had never
heard roofing equal to the Missouri
roofing since he was freshman at
California.
l would like to say a thing or
two which he told me of the inter-
est taken in athletics at California.
l, myself, have often wondered
how they could send a track team
from California to Boston and Mad
ison for the Eastern intercollegiate
and Western conference meets.
Now ! know. At the California
Stanford dual meet last year, there
were over 1000 paid admissions of
81 each. Track, it is true, is their
predominating athletics. They do
not play the American football
game, but play the Australian
game. The weather, of course, is
nice there all year, so they can
have track meets outdoors at all
times of the year.
1 asked Mr.. Crabbe which game
he liked best, and he said: when
they play like Missouri and Kan
sas did, like the American game,
but when they play like Oklahoma
and Haskell did, prefer the Austria
lian game. With men with the de-
termination the Missouri men had,
and a crowd of rooters back of
them, such as they had, no team on
earth could beat them" said Mr..
Crabbe.
Now we have started out the sea-
son by beating Kansas in football,
why can't We all keep together,
students and alumni, and beat them
in everything during the season. If
We will stay back of the team like
we have in football, there is no
reason in the world why we can't |
beat them in baseball, basketball |
and track. l, for one, believe that |
with the fighting spirit shown by |
the boys in the recent football game,
and the student-body and alumni
back of them, as they have been
during this football season, Kansas
will find themselves at the little |
end of the score in all branches of |
athletics. c. w. TERRY.

WHEN TO BE THANKFUL.

Thanksgiving Day is past, but
not Thanksgiving. The day set
aside annually by our President for
the giving of thanks to God has
come and gone, leaving behind it
depleted larders, satisfied appetites
and the echo of prayers rising; but
in a larger, a better, a broader
sense, Thanksgiving never can
pass from US. For ours is a free,
a prosperous, a happy country.
I'VE may concentrate in one day
our united prisons Of gratitude,
making the very walls of Heaven
reverberate with the volume of our
thanks; but we should not cease
sending up to God time and again
our own private, little, individual
thanks for the blessings he has
given us individually. We may
give thanks as a nation once q
year; but we must give thanks as
individuals of that nation every day
so long as life lasts.
Take the war that is devastating
Europe. Every morning when we

The Literary Trawler
When the Sun Grows Cold.

When the Sun Grows Cold.
When the sun goes out-a catas-
trophe that is bound to be-man-
kind will have long ago disappeared.
The last inhabitants of earth will
be as destitute and ignorant, as
feeble and dullwitted, as the first.
They will have forgotten all the
arts and all the sciences. They
will huddle wretchedly in caves
alongside the glaciers that will
then roll their transparent masses
over the half-obliterated ruins of
the cities where men now think
and love, suffer and hope. All the
elms and lindens will have been
killed by the cold; and the frs will
be left sole masters of the frozen
earth. The last desperate sur
vivors of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
without SO much as realizing why
or wherefore-will know nothing
of us, nothing of our genius, moth
ing of our love; yet will they be
our latest-born children and blood
of our blood. A feeble flicker Of
the regal intelligence of nobler
days, still lingering in their dulled
brains, will for a while yet enable
them to hold their empire over the
bears that have multiplied ebout
their subterranean lurking-places.
Peoples and races will have disap-
peared beneath the snow and ice,
with the towns, the highways, the
gardens of the old world. With
pain and difficulty a few isolated
families will keep alive. Women,
children, old men, crowded pell-
NELL in their noisome caves, will
peep through assures in the rock
and watch the somber sun mount
the sky above their heads; dull yel-
low CLEANS will fit across his disk,
like flames playing about a dying
brand, while a dazzling snow of
stars will shine on all the day long
in the black heavens, through the
icy air. This is what they will see;
but in their heavy witlessness they
will not so much as know that they
see anything. One day the last
survivor, callous alike to hate and
love, will exhale to the unfriendly
sky the last human breath. And
the globe will go rolling on, bear
ing with it through the silent fields
of space the ashes of humanity,
the poems of Homer and the august
remnants of the Greek marbles,
frozen to its icy surfaces. No
thought will ever again rise to-
ward the infinite from the bosom
of this dead world.-Anatole

OVERLOOKING CHANCES.

The way a man employs his lei
sure time is a pretty good index to
that mans purposes and character.
In the case of the University stu
dent, it is the use to which he puts
the time taken up by the Uni
versity curriculum that shows just
how serious is his desire for an ed
ucation.
It would be possible for a stu
dent to spend his four years at col
lege, to attend his classes, do his
required work to the satisfaction of
his instructors, and yet at the end
of the four years, emerge from this
process of acquiring credits no
nearer a real education than he was
at the beginning of that period. The
student who fails to take advantage
of the possibilities of his leisure
time runs the risk of making no
more out of his years at school.
Many of the most vital elements OF
a genuine culture can be acquired
only on the students own initiative
and outside the work of the curric-
ulum.
This University community
abounds with opportunities for max
ing the most of a students spare
time. And yet the attitude of a
large proportion of the students Of
the University toward these oppor-
tunities is one of indifference. 1t
is a rather discouraging anomaly
that men and women, ostensibly
here for the purpose of gaining an
education, are neglecting their best
chances of obtaining at least top
coat of culture. How many stu
dents have even a superficial knowl-
edge of the best in literature, the
most easily obtained phase of cul-
ture? How many make any use of
the University Library beyond the
work they are compelled to do
there? In this community, a stu
dent finds chances to become ac-
quainted with the masterpieces in
art and music on much easier terms
than he would find even in large
cities, aad yet the proportion of
students that take advantage of
these chances is small.
BY the students interests out
side the classroom it is easy to
tell how serious is his desire for
an education. The man or woman
who wasted the extra time is miss
ing the best chances for becoming
really educated.

ABOUT STUFFING.

What about the stocking stuff
ing? Having dined on white or
dark meat with sweet potatoes and
gravy and mince pie and lesser
delicacies, Thanksgiving Day is
past and a season of hash remains.
Our eyes now turn Christmas
ward. The bird stuffing has been
properly disposed of. There re-
mains a pleasant remembrance
that will last until next Turkey
Day. However, anticipation should
crowd the Thanks Day thought into
sequestered corner until all the
ingredients of the stocking stuffing
have been provided.
Stores are now uncrowded and
at no other time this year will the
stuffing for the stocking present so
appetizing or varied a feast for the
eyes. Nor will there be a better
time for leisure to use judgment in
shopping.
Forethought and early buying
have so many advantages that it is
unnecessary to go into detail. To
summarize: Shop early and make
everybody happy.
