for the Brookings high school second

scoring and at the end of the first half
had piled up a total of %fifty-one points.
Clear Lake took a brace in the second
period and held Bookings to eighteen
points while they themselves scored

Hall was the stellar performer if the
Brookings team and repeatedly skirted
Clear Lakes ends for long runs. He
scored six touchdowns and Bacon,
Swift, Matson and Corbin each scored
one. Captain Warner was Clear Lakes
mainstay. He intercepted a forward
pass and raced thirty yards for a
touchdown, later scoring a neat drop
kick twenty-five yards from a difficult

Friday afternoon the football team
will meet the strong team of Huron
high on State field. This promises to
of the season, and is the last game on
the home field. Huron is a strong o n
tender for state championship and will
come to Brookings to contest the claim
of B. H. S. The game will be a battle
royal and the results will have much
to do in the final footings to deter
mine the rightful claimant to the pen
nant.
The second team defeated Clear
Lake high school Saturday to the tune
of 50 to 8.
This week closes the third month of
school and the reports for the month
will show a record breaker in point Of
attendance. Brookings schools must
be an attractive place for the children
if attendance and punctuality are any
criterian from which to judge.
The senior class had a class play
Friday evening in the domestic science
rooms. Refreshments were served
and the evening was spent in the usual
enjoyable way. Miss Crystal Palon
and Richard Nesseth were the chap
erons.
The sophomores, with Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Gillespie and Miss Esther Bloom
quist as chaperons, had a delightful
class party at the high school build
ing the same evening. Refreshments
disappeared because som eunscrupu-
lous persons who are about ready to re-
ceive treatment from the criminal
courts have escaped the arm Of the
law. Such thieving should be severely
handled and the guilty parties in this
case will be dealt with accordingly as
soon as all those who are guilty are
known.

human life And they must provide
also a new philosophy. The present
crisis in our civilization says Profess
sor Ellwood, calls for a reconstru.-
ton of our social philosophy; for we
cannot build anew the structure of
Western society upon the inadequate
bases Of eighteenth and nineteenth CEN
tury thought If We do not bring
about, gradually but pretty promptly,
the very drastic changes in the social
and economic structure of society that
Professor Ellwood shows to be called
for, the fabric will collapse under
shocks of revolutionary upheaval
which will be self-destructive.
"This book is of interest as indicat-
ing how thoroughly the destructive
analysis of the past thirty years has
eaten away the assurance of the Amer
lea of Triumphant Democracy as of
Early Victorian England, in the sta
bility and inevitableness of capitalist
industry, wealth and poverty, inequal-
ity of standards Of life and laisser
faire. We hope it will have wide cir
culation; it is just the volume for the
cultured household For this purpose,
no doubt, it is all the better that,
whilst gently blessing many practical
proposals in passing, it avoids indors-
ing any definite scheme of social re-
construction. But a volume on the
art of building houses is none the
worse, because it does not enable us
to dispense with an architects plans.
The question is, does such book, first,
incite us to build, and secondly, does
it conduce to a wise choice among
plans? Professor Ellwood's book sat
isfies both these tests"

THAT NEW HOTEL AGAIN

No, it hasn't come yet, and it looks
as though Columbia would have to go
another year without a place for the
crowds of visitors who will come for
the Kansas game, Farmers Week,
journalism Week, Commencement and
all the other annual activities. We
don't even hear it talked about any
more. Why not?
We admit talk won't build the hotel,
but it will help. Columbia is fast be-
coming the convention city of the
state and it should be, but still We
have to send our visitors hunting over
town for rooms. Something should be
done on that hotel this year. Let's
talk it, at least. 1t won't do any harm,
and perhaps it will help to bring it
sooner.

Tradition and the Library.

Editor the Missourian: IN the new
library building the state has given 10
the University its finest and most
elaborate structure. When fully CON-
pleted it will cost approximately
100000 and will compare favorably
with such libraries as are found at
the University of Wisconsin and the
University of Michigan, both of which
are considered among the finest in the
West.
Before the new library here has long
been used, every student in the Univer-
sity, and every man, woman and child
who makes use of the building, should
begin to set examples regarding the
care and use of this institution that
will become traditional with future
generations. This is most expected of
the students, for it was for them that
the library was primarily intended.
First of all, every student should be-
gin now to regard the new library as
place for study and not place for
courtship. Three or four years ago
counting in the library because so prev
alent that it was regarded as a joke,
but the officials, with the aid of the
more thoughtful of the student body,
waged a fight against this growing
custom and before the library quar-
ters were moved the matter of court
ing was nearly ended. This frivolous
custom should not be renewed in the
new quarters and the student body
should make the matter of using the
library as a place for study, and not
for counting, a tradition for the st1-
dents of the future.
Two other things that should 3e
made traditional, things which devolve
upon every student to observe, are the
proper care and treatment of the books
when taken from the library building
and the careful treatment of the build
ing itself. Every student should re-
member that a part Of this library and
its contents is his property. A part of
it belongs to him as well as to any
tax-paying citizen of Missouri. Looking
at it from this point of view, the stu
dent will learn to respect the library
and its books, for he naturally re-
spects his own property. Every book.
when used, should be carefully treat
ed and should be returned IN good
condition. The same care should b.
rendered the walls, the tables and
desks and all of the interior decora-
tions of the building itself. In the fu-
ture let it be said that the careful
treatment of University property by
former students was a matter of ira
dition. C.

GOOD.BY BAG RUSH

The bag rush at the University OF
Missouri is a thing of the past. The
freshman class, which next year will
be the sophomore class, has been no
titled to that effect by President Hill.
The action will be welcomed ana COM
mended by the University faculty and
students, Columbia townspeople and
citizens of the state alike.
Along with hazing, class rushes are
among the undesirable traditions Of
this and other universities. The Uni
versity of Missouri has outgrown such
foolishness. AS President Hill told
the freshmen Saturday night, class
rushes of all kinds have been given a
fair trial here, and now it is time TO
quit.
