Convention Notes

Miss Maimee Sampson, who teaches
IL miles northeast of Columbia, has
been a teacher for forty-three years.
Her talk about how the school board
and teacher brought many laughs, as
it was filled with the experience of
forty-three years of teaching.
Miss Vera Bandy of Columbia
whiled away the time doing crochet
ing work. The piece of lace upon
which she worked was several yards
long, and many persons wondered if
all the crOcheting was done during
the two days of the convention.
This was school board day and
there were probably two dozen rural
school board members present at to-
days session.
The school teachers voted to have
no fall meeting, and will attend the
State Teachers Association at st.
Louis next November.

.OUR EASTERN QUESTION

Americas most important overseas
interest is in the Orient. Thomas F
Millard, graduate of the University OF
Missouri, has gained deservedly high
reputation as the foremost American
Journalist in China. He is familiar
with the Far East through long resi-
dence and extensive travel. In vol
ume Just from the press on Our East
ern Question" Mr.. Millard discusses
authoritatively the problems of the
Orient and points out what the au-
thor believes is the only way by
which a conflict between the United
States and Japan can be avoided. Mr..
Millards previous writings on this
topic were regarded as sensational in
the extreme as they appeared but they

The problems of the Pacific in their

CLEAN NEWSPAPERS

Not so many years ago there SEEM
ed room for question if a clean news
paper could succeed. Improving stand
ards of public taste and widening
dissemination of refinement were-coun-
tered by the upgrowth of widely cir
lated journals in which crime and So
cial disorder were exploited. The no.
tion spread that that was what the
public wanted. and queerly reversed
double standard of decency seemed
likely to be established-one rule for
conversation and another for matter
in type.
How foolish all this was has long
since been apparent The newspa-
pers which were the most ghoul-like
and hideous have either mended their
ways or taken a long slide down the
toboggan of contempt and derision
Among the really able and forceful
papers of the day there is no: one
without cleanness all over, in adver-
tising as well as in news and edi-
torial columns, as its aim 1t is not
singular, either, that those pub,ica-

No newspaper has character which |
cannot be read freely by boys and
girls. This is a simple test, easily
applied. The old excuse that scandal
happens and therefore must be told
bo longer serves, for the evil is more
often in the manner of telling tfan in
the facts. Sinking, gloating vulgar

dard. Increasing circles of self

has made at least one direct plea and
not a few indirect pleas for gen.
eral peace His efforts have been dip
lomatically resisted by all the Allies
including Italy. The peaceward in
quiries of the Holy Father. it is said
always meet with a unanimous allied
response. 1--WE are ready for peace,
but only for an allied peace" the allies
invariably are reported to reply. The
Italian papers generally give but
little if any space to the Pope's peace
ward utterances. Consequently they
do not come into the constant
thought of the people. The possibil-
ity of any marked effect is therefore
eliminated.
However, the general belief here
is that Germany is seeking to effect
peace through the Holy Father. Papal
representatives to the Central Powers
are said to have laid the conditions of
a pax Germanica before His Holiness.
The conditions, it is rumored, were
felt to be unsatisfactory to the Allies
on their face. But, as the story goes,
the Vatican regarded them as a start
ing point. Many believe that they in

demic discussions on peace and ap-

Italians generally view the alleged

early peace. These can be the neces-
sary preliminary steps that possibly
may reach peace, it is admitted The

making stupendous effort to end the !.

has not given up hope of ac-
his purpose. The mill
