THE NEW BOOKS

With the May number the new Nc
Clure's, the McClure's in the big size

two years of publishing their maya
zine in the size and shape of the ordi-
nary book the editors have decided
that the big size is more convenient
for the reader to handle, permits of
better illustration and because of the
economy in printing and binding al
lows a greater variety of content at a
smaller price.
In this first number the editors have
made good start toward their ideals.
The contents of its hundred IL by Is
inch pages are the contributions of
some of the most popular magazine
writer's and illustrators of the day
The illustrations are plentiful and
large. A full-page one in color by
Arthur Becher illustrates "Beltane

the school and liked to say that he was
its forerunner The other man made
but one public address and that was
over the long distance telephone to a
Columbia audience journalism Week
last year. They represented different
types of journalism. but both had
high ideals that made their
success conspicuous. One was a
fighter, war lord of Journalism; the
other an almost opposite type of man,
but still the weilder of the same pow
erful influence for good.
Captain Henry King and Colonel w.
r. Nelson left Missouri and the nation
better than they found them. A gath
ering of newspaper men could find no
greater inspiration than in their
achievements. nor students in School
of Journalism better instruction than
in the ideals of these two men.

MADE In MISSOURI.

With this week the Made In Missou-
ri campaign starts in earnest. In it
lie great possibilities for the welfare
of the state and these will be discussed
from many angles before the week is
over.
The spreading of this campaign can
best be done through the newspapers,
and they owe it to the state. Too much
has been said about our neighbors
while our own accomplishments and
possibilities have been ignored. The
editors who are here this week are
in on the ground floor of the move
ment and will be the logical ones to
carry it on in their communities.
Made In Missouri deserves the
best backing that can be given it.

and in French chauteauX. The situa-
tions are natural and the characters are
decidedly human There is no touch
of the improbable in the working out
of this novel to characterize it as a
member of the STORY book" class. The
Vaccinations of most singularly
soulless and selfish woman bare to the
reader a character not unknown in
our modern times. The story carries
with it a lesson in true generosity of
nature.
A Russian prince, in love. chooses
a pretty face in place of the beautiful
character of "Moonglade" whom he
loved as child. The pretty face of his
English wife was a mask covering a
soulless. selfish nature. Her tragic
death and the happiness of Prince
Basil and his second wife, "MoOn-
glade" years later, makes clever
story, and instructive. The book is

A Princess" (Harper and Brothers,

The Literary Trawler
Stand the Gan.

The iron must enter your soul my
Stand the gaff;
The hour will come when your ears
will smart,
When your cheeks will burn and the
tears will start
let 'em laugh;
For the testing of manhoods a cruel
thing,
And the lash of suspicion is heavy with
sting.
And slander and gossip are waiting to
fling
Their mud at the beat of ambitions
strong wing.
Injustice has always stood ready with
lies,
She's ahead on the heights and ex-
pecting your rise;
You must pay for your progress for
there's no success
Where the wolf-pack of envy does not
yelp and press.
You must pay for your courage, you
can't dare the stars,
And escape without anguish and
bruises and scars.
The cheat and the coward are trailing
your track,
The sneak turks behind you to stab
in the back
Keep honor. no matter how heavy the
cost
Keep honor, nothing that counts can
be lost.
When the choice lies before you to be
or seem right,
Then. to H-with appearances, stand
up and fight.-Herbert Kaufman.

LABOR OF LOVE.

The United States again shows its
good will to South American repub-
lies. 1t is now helping Chile make
tests to see if paper can be profitably
made from Chilean woods.
The tests are being made in the Ma
tional Forest Products Laboratory at
Madison, Wis. 1t is described as a
labor of love" for the Chilean busi-
ness interests. This will likely hurt
American shipments but the United
States government looks beyond a sell
fish interest to broader trade rela-
tions between the two countries.
When such acts show the people of
Latin America that the United States
wishes to play the part of a big
brother" rather than a bully our re-
lations will become more cordial with
all these countries and love will take
the place of much that is now dis
trust.

WAR HURTS MISSOURI.

Missouri, with the other states, is
feeling the effects of the European war
upon its immigration. Our state has
been deprived of more than IL 900 new
citizens since the foreign conflict be-
gan. This is figured upon the ratio of
decrease from the average immigra-
ton of the past ten years.
Had 11,OOO native sons of Missouri
fallen in the war we would feel the
loss much more than at present, but
when the situation is viewed from an
pnprejudiced standpoint the result is
the same. We are today minus II 900
inhabitants who would have been
numbered with the population of our
commonwealth but for the struggle
abroad.
Not all of our sister states have
suffered so severely, some of them on
the other hand, count their losses as
more extensive than is that of Mis-
souri,. That is what eight months of
hostility has brought to us. The war
may not yet be near its end. in fact, it
may be only begun. If the end shall
be year or two distant, the old world
struggle will cost US million lives.
And this is but one of the many bad
effects of the European war that is
hlighting humanity.

TWO WHO HAVE GONE.

Since the last Journalism Week at
the University two great figures in
Missouri journalism have been re-
moved from among us. Now at the
beginning of another journalism
Week it is well that We recall these
masters in the profession whose
ideals We are gathered to further.
1t is particularly fitting that this be
done at the University. One of these
men gave the first lecture to Univer-
sity students on journalism before the

VALUE OF JOURNALISM WEEK.

The personal value of Journalism
Week to the student, whether he be
journalist or farmer, is twofOld. There
is the opportunity to meet on equal
terms the great men of the profession,
a thing never possible in the Offices of
these men. Then there is the inspira-
ton that comes from this personal
contact and from the lectures of the
visitors.
To the student who can attend all
these sessions with wide open mind,
waiting to receive impressions, there
is great educational value A chau-
tauGua can be just a social time
killing" event in the community or it
can be an element of mental advance
ment. Journalism Week is the stu
dents chautauqua in the field of the
press. with exactly the same opportu-
mites for personal gain.

RURAL SCHOOL SYSTEM HIT

Grand Forks, May 15.-N. C. Nc
Donald, state inspector of North Da-
kota, has written a very interesting
paper on Enhancing Rural Schools
for A. E. Winship's Journal of Educa-
ton, delivering the same before the
department of SUPPLEMENTARY.
"The system used in financing the
rural schools in many of the states
is in some respects inadequate and
an Anticipated one. This statement is
based on facts: (1) that the ma
jor portion of the funds derived from
direct taxation is levied by the local
school boards and is sufficient in
amount, and ~ that the county and
state tuition funds are appropriated
on the basis of the number Of school
children of school age regardless Of
any other requirement. OF the total
funds used in our state for the sup
port Of the rural schools seventy-two
per cent. is derived from school dis

cent. from the special state and ap
preparation.
"The school district tax is levied by
the local school board and collected
by the rural schools is eleven mills
as against twenty-four for city
schools. Herein lies one chief reason
for the difference in the efficiency OF
the two systems. The county tuition
fund consists of two mill and one
dollar poll tax. The state tuition fund
is made up of the income from the
permanent land grant and the net pro
ceeds from fines and penalties, which
proceeds amount to about one per
cent of this fund. Both these funds
are apportioned on the number of
children Of school age.
Unsuccessful efforts have been
made to change to an attendance bas'
is. The special aid is apportioned to
encourage consolidation, and the
standardization of the one room
schools. Though this fund is only
one per cent. Of the total spent, yet
it is a fair and conservative statement
to make that it does more to secure
and maintain progressive standards
of school efficiency than treble the
sum spent in the other way
Briefly the major portion of school
taxes should be levied by the state
and the funds derived therefrom, in
Guiding the state tuition fund should
be apportioned upon what is known
as ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
|of-attendance basis. This would en-
courage the employment of a suffi-
cient number of teachers and the Sc
curing Of a larger and more regular
attendane; and it would also equal
ize the tax burden between the poor
and the wealthy districts. This should
be supplemented by small local tax
to provide for buildings and general
equipment, and also by special tax
and levy with which to secure and
maintain good standards for rural
schools in order to make sure that
the peoples money and the pupils
time would be invested to the best ad-
vantage.
"That such a system would destroy
local pride and sense of responsible
ty is not true. If it were true, then
taxing for school purposes in proper
ton to the size of mans bank &C
count and not in proportion to the
size of his family would also do so.
Since the child is educated for the
state, he should be educated by the
state, to the end that all the children
of the people shall be provided with
equal and adequate school privilege"
