one way or another to keep automo-
biles from cutting corners, speeding
and imperiling the lives of pedes-
trians. Speeding will be with us as
long as there are no traffic policemen,
but the cutting of corners could be
eliminated by the placing of standards
at the intersections of the streets that
bear the brunt of the traffic.
Standards with lights could be put
at the intersection of Broadway at
Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets. In
the center of these streets, they would
make the autOmobilists go around
them, and thus the danger of collisions
would be avoided. The cost of three
lights to make them visible at night
would be very small.
The initial cost of such standards
would be small and the upkeep would
be almost negligible. yet it would in
sure a large measure of safety and

RUSSIA

Someone has said that the history OF
Europe is written in the one line:
England is an island" 1t looks as if
the history of the present war might
be written in the one word: Russia .
Russia could have prevented the en-
try of the greater part of Europe into
the Serbian-Austrian quarrel. but did
not. When she began massing her
troops on the Austrian frontier, a little
less than two years ago, and Germany
demanded an explanation for this ac-
ton, Russia remained silent. Germany
declared war.
Then, in quick succession. followed
the entry of Russia, France, Belgium,
England. Japan. Turkey, Italy and,
finally. Portugal. If Russia had re-
mained neutral in every sense of the
word, Austria would have crushed Ser
bia and there would have been a tenn
porary cessation of bloodshed. But
could Russia afford to let this happen?
Evidently not, if she wished to become
a world power.
Since Russia is so largely RESPONSE
Bile for the war, then, is she doing her
part in its prosecution?
At the present time it would seem
that she is. When Belgium was invad-
ed, France and England were sorely
pressed for time in which to mobilize
their armies, TO mass supplies and mu-
nitions and to gain recruits. BY draw
ing a large part of the German army
TO the eastern war zone, Russia fur
nished this time.
Again, when the Italian troops are
being beaten back by the drive of the
Central Powers, Russia initiates
strong offensive in the east and so re-
lieyes the pressure in the Alps and
about Verdun.
Ii would seem that the German-Aus-
trian-Turkish force is so equally
matched with the French-English-
Italian armies that neither is able to
accomplish anything decisive Here
Russia enters in and, by casting her
lot with the Allies. gives them the bal !
ance Of power which will probably be
the determining force i'm the final out
come of the war.

There is a worn saying that a chain

The Open Column
More on the Music Question.

Editor of the MissOurian: The edu.
cational institutions of the United
States may be divided into two
classes: private schools, and public
schools. Private schools are admin
istered by individuals; public schools
by the state, private schools teach
what they please; public schools.
what the law directs. Private schools
sell instruction in such subjects as
may be desired by the parents of a
particular class or type of pupils.
Public schools provide instruction in
such subjects as the state believes
best adapted to the development of
its future citizens.
Subjects taught in private schools
may be fundamental; those taught in
public schools must be.
The fact that music is included in
the curricula of the public schools is
conclusive evidence that the state re-
CARDS it not as a superficial accom-
plishment, but as fundamental in the
development of good citizenship.
There was a time when the ac-
emulation of information was ac-
cepted as the criterion of educational
achievement. In those days the sub
jects to which the students attention
was directed were limited Today the
aim of education is not merely the
accumulation of information, but the
of the mind-pOwer. the
ability to think clearly, quickly and
accurately.
To this end many subjects are
brought to bear upon the student in
stead of a few. Music is simply one
of this number. The function of mu-
sic in the school is to develop in the
student love for and appreciation
for the highest and best in the art.
The University offers courses in
harmony, appreciation and chorus,
etc. which lay the foundation for the
development of knowledge and ap-
probation of the best in music, but
that instruction, excellent as it is. |
would be incomplete if it were not
possible to provide for the students !
recitals of the highest character. !
There are many reasons for the lack
Of appreciation of good music, one
Of which is the few opportunities to !
hear the best music played by the (
best musicians.
Such opportunities are provided in !
he series of recitals being given by |
Slr. Gauntlet. Considered from an
standpoint they are in
and should be attended by
very student.

to protest against a too strong en-
forcement of the doctrine of paterna-
lism.
A great achievement of the paternal-
istic tendencies of the Government or
the United States is the construction
of the Elephant Butte Dam on the Rio
Grande River in New Mexico. A lake
forty-five miles long, with an average
depth of sixty-five feet-the greatest
storage reservoir in the wOrld-nOw
replaces a mountain canyon. A DESC
late waste, too arid to be suitable
home for wild animals and quite worth
less to mankind, has become a great
stOrehOuse, not a storehOuse for gold
or jewels, mot a storehouse where the
Forty Thieves would glOat over worth
less riches. but stOrehouse from
which a great valley of farming lands
will receive wealth, returning a hun
dredfold to the farmers who till the
lands.
1t is right that the Government
should engage in such undertakings
by which it may give its people the
benefits to be derived from public re-
sources without subjecting them to
possible exploitation by private capital.
Even the most active opponent of
patemalism cannot claim the Govern
ment has destroyed nor interferei with
individual initiative

SHOWING COLUMBIA


What would you show a friend who
came to visit you and who had never
seen Columbia? Answers to this ques-
tiOn almost equal the number of read
ers, but here is an outline for your
next trip.
Start from wherever you may wish,
and begin by showing the homes of Co.
lumbia. Whether it be the first or last
analysis, a town is known by its
homes. And Columbia is proud to be
known for that as well as many other
reasons. You won't be able to show
all the homes, but whatever you may
show, your guest will see them to be
happy, comfortable homes of a pro-
pressive. hopeful, community building
people.
Turning west ON Broadway, show
the site of the new Daniel Boone Tav-
ern. Immediately matters of historical
interest, also matters marking prog
ress in Missouri history and material
greatness will come up. Continuing
on west, show the west side homes,
turn south and come back over Stewart
Bridge. Point out the Cafeteria, Park
er Memorial Hospital. Turn at the
campus corner and show the Y. NJ. c.
A. Building. Drive in at the north en-
trance and show the campus from the
circle. Leaving by the north, turn
down Ninth street, passing between the
West Campus, Lowry Hall and the Lii
brary Block. Then drive to Conley
avenue, to point out the golf course,
show the memorial gateway, Rollins
Field and the gymnasium.
Go north on Hit Street to University
avenue, then drive through the East
Campus and go out to the University
Farm.
Some time will be required to show
the farm, and perhaps only enough
time for visit to the two colleges will
be left. You should stop at both Ste
phens and Christian colleges, going in
to see something of the buildings and
equipment.
After leaving Christian College drive
by the Columbia High School building.
South on Eighth Street will show the
county courthouse, and turn to the
west will allow visit to a well-ap-
and-what is more important
-skillfully manned, city fire station.
Then home for a good dinner.
No, this does not list everything of |
interest, but if you wish to be a good
lost or hostess to Mr.. and Mrs. Visit
'r, you might become posted on the
'laces and things mentioned.
