The Open Column

Editor The Missourian:- Those who
heard the debate Saturday night be.
tween Mexico and ChillicOthe High
Schools on the question OF the Mini.
mum Wage were more than likely
impressed with the unusual array OF
economic theories and principles
with which the debaters seemed gen.
orally familiar. 1t was all the more
surprising because of the undOubted
fact that these young men had taken
it upon themselves, through. an in
terest, it may be, primarily in debat-
ing, to familiariZe themselves with the
abstract economic principles underly-
ing their question. And it was en-
couraging, even inspiring. to see the
enthusiasm, born of this intelligent
familiarity. which characterized the
presentation of their arguments.
The writer asked himself: how
many boys in the high schools of
Missouri are familiar enough with
even one of the many pressing
economic, social, and political prob
lens of the state and nation to talk
intelligently of it before a public gath
ering That every boy, and every girl
for that matter, in our high schools
should have at least an elementary
knowledge of the basic economic, So
cial. and political principles which
underlie the problems which they
will have to face and solve in the
next few decades, ought to go with
out saying. And yet, what has been
or is being done to give them the
chance to gain such knowledge? The
Missouri high school which offers
such training is the decided excep-
tiOn-and yet our schools are sup
posed to train for citizenship, for So
cial efficiency, The percentage of
high school graduates who go to high
er educational institutions is compar-
atively small, and of those who do,
a still smaller percentage elect
courses in Economics. Sociology and
Political Science. The large majority
90 from the high school into the
world with no equipment for their
civic duties save. perhaps, the sadly
inadequate and often harmful opin-
ions and prejudices of parents or eld-
ers.
Every high school, great or small,
first class or third, ought to offer in
struction, of at least an elementary
nature, in these fundamental sciences

A SELF-MADE AMERICAN.

Name Travica, a Croatian. got off
the train at Milwaukee several years
ago and made application to become
a citizen. When he underwent the
examination required by the govern
ment before granting naturalization
papers he couldn't answer the ques-
tions satisfactorily. Later he again
failed to convince the court
The other day he showed up in
eOurt and answered every conceivable
question put to him. He could read
and write the English language, and
knew more about the country and its
institutions than anyone in the court
room-or as much He explained the
spirit of the constitution. The court
granted the papers and asked how he
had been able to learn so much about
the affairs of the country.
He explained that his showing on
the first two examinations was poor
because he had to start to work at 4
o'clock IN the morning as teamster
for brewery and work until 9 O'Clock
at night He didn't have time to study.
But he wanted to be an American cit
izen and had given up his occupation
for the time being and lived on one
meal day while devoting himself
to study.
And still there are those who would
stop immigration from the countries

STOP KICKING WEATHER MAN

We have been accustomed to saying
bad things about the weather and
have been loud in our defamation of
its changeableness. Now ii seems that
much of this has been misdirected
judging from an editorial in a recent
issue of The Journal of the American
Medical Association.
This writer points out that changes.
especially rather sudden changes of
thermometric and barometric phe-
nomena, are distinct stimulants to the
human organism When the temper
ature remains more or less constant
from day to day, people work and
think more slowly. DR.. Ellsworth
Huntington of Yale University says
that every time storm passes over a
region and is followed by cooler
weather, peoples efficiency is in
creased
We are inclined to think of an
unvarying temperature as best for
health and strength, but apparently
it is not.
After all maybe We shouldn't have
said all we did about the weather
man. We are peculiar people We
revile the weather man if there is
even so much as the suggestion of a
storm. and after it is all over rejoice
in the good spirits that follow. Who
has not experienced that thrill of good
feeling? We like the end all right, but
are not always willing TO put up with
the means. So when a frost comes
along and catches part of the fruit,
when you get caught in a cold rain
without coat next time, remember
that it's all good for you and the 9TH
er fellow. Your neighbor will be in
better spirits next morning, and he
will even notice some difference in
you.

The Literary Trawler
Youth and Age.

Youth is the time to go flashing
from one end of the world to the 9TH
er both in mind and body; to try the
manners of different nations; to hear
the chimes at midnight: to see the
sunrise in town and country; to be
converted at a revival; to circumnav-
igate the metaphysics: write halting
verses; run a mile to see a fire: and
wait all day long in the. theater to
applaud Hermann" There is some
meaning in the old theory about wild
oats; and a man who has not had his
treensickness and done with it for
good, is as little to be depended on as
an unvaccinated infant.-R. L. Ste
venson.

COLUMBIA SKETCHES

A woman with an immense coil OF
coarse black hair and green eyes, and
a most impish looking little girl
with huge ears and a tiny flat nose
were eating dinner at a boarding
house. The woman picked UP bowl
of boiled dandelions and said in the
most caressing tones to the little
freckled-nosed imp at her side,
Angel, want you try some of the
greens?"

of human welfare. Until this is done
who shall say that our secondary
schools are measuring up to their
full responsibility and opportunity for
usefulness as a part of our educa-
tional system While principal of a
small, second class high school, the
writer tried the doubtful experiment
of substituting an elementary course
in Economics for a years work in
Latin. The results surpassed his
'fondest hopes" and fully justified the
change. The pupils, both boys and
girls. developed an intelligent inter-
est and genuine enthusiasm for the
study of many of the problems
brought to their attention and their
interest went outside of book and
study hall to the community. If even
so unpretentious a course as this were
offered in every high school of Mis-
souri,, young men well started on the
road to useful, intelligent citizenship,
such as those who debated the Mini
mum wage, would be the rule rather
than the exceptional. X.

THE WAR AND CRIPPLES.

A pathetic appeal comes through
The war relief clearing house for
France, of which Joseph II. Choate
is the honorary president and A. Bar
ton Hepburn the active president, for
artificial limbs for cripples of north
ern France The recent activities have
made new crop" of cripples, so that
artificial legs and arms are badly
needed by soldiers who have been
wounded in this war. The appeal car
ries with it the complimentary hint
that 'the French surgeons consider
the American product vastly superior
to the best artificial lombs made in
France"
Along with the several thousand
legless or armless or otherwise af-
fiicted French soldiers, comes the
estimate of some officials of the Brit
ish government that two years of the
war will produce 2,640,000 cripples.
The calculations assume that Eng
lands share of this number of suffer-
ers will be 100000 soldiers, allowing
that Britain puts 100000 men in the
field. Think of the waste of men!
buried alive, so to speak, in their in
capacity or decreased capacity for
work. And the figures say nothing
of the dead.

those who would place upon the immi-
grant the blame for our illiteracy
problem. Certainly America is better
by the coming of such an immigrant
as Travica. He is no longer a
