COLUMBIA'S NEGROES

With the erection of the new Doug
lass School, Columbia will take steI
forward in the education of its ne.
groes. The school is to be modern
equal in that to any of the other
schools of the town. 1t will include
domestic science and other labora-
tories.
Negroes form a considerable part
of the population of the town. Citi-
zens of Columbia realize that they
must be provided for. The town has
no negro problem. When educated,
the negro is a thrifty, self-support-
ing person. He is entitled to educa-
ton. He is intelligent. and his citi-
zenship is increased in its value when
he knows the issues of the town, state
and nation and can converse intelli-
gently upon them. Education is the
force which will bring the negro out
of the class of undesirable citizens.
Every nationality has it's place in
any community. There is place for
the negro, and the educated negro
realizes his station and his position
in society. There are problems of the
race which only members of it can
solve. These can be solved only
through education. Crime decreases
with increased intelligence.
Recognition of this has prompted
the school board of Columbia to build

GIVES BLOOD TO AID CHILDREN



Last summer while in New Haven,
Conn, Paul C. Knowlton. a junior in
the College of Agriculture. gave some
of his blood for the treatment of in
fantile paralysis cases. Mr. Knowlton
had this disease when young and sur
vived. with no serious effects. When
the New Haven Hospital issued a plea
to such survivors for some of their
blood to use in serious cases, he
promptly responded. Yesterday the
following word was received from the
staff of the hospital. I'VE want to
thank you again for your generosity
in giving blood for the poliomyelitis
cases, and tell you that through your
kindness we were able to treat some
very serious cases successfully. Not
only we ourselves are grateful to you
but the parents of the children are
most appreciative and thankful"

Where DO the Women Come In?

Where DO the Women Come In?
Editor the Missourian: Why do the
University men have so much and the
women so little? Who is to blame for
the contrast of conditions? If the
women are working as they should, il
is time that they, too. should get some
benefit for their work The difference
in present conveniences is worth
noticing.
For University men-a Y.M.C.A.
Building fitted with swimming pool,
billiard tables, club rooms; a gym
nasium large enough to acccommo-
date all who use it.; now, a Missouri
union to be used as a place for social
activities, with the prospect for a
s25O.0OO building.
For University women-no Y. W.
C. A Building, only secretary's
desk in a cold corridor; no GYM
nasium building, just one small room
with few conveniences; no swimming
pool; no place for social gatherings.
The men have three buildings they
can call their own, while the women
have none.
Nearly 500 women are in the Uni
versity. When their number was
small. conditions such as are existing
at present were excusable. Their
place in University life is now estab-
lished. 1t is time to transfer some of
the advantages. Advocacy of a wo-
mems building began in earnest last
year. All women said they were in
terested. but too much was taken for
granted Meetings were called, hut
only small number of girls respond
ed.
What is the matter with the women
of Missouri? Where is their spirit of
cooperation? The excuse is often
made that women cannot get the re-

The New Instructor.


Editor the Missourian: Every yea
universities send out young teacher
, resolving to give the best that is i
them. If these teachers are instruc
tors in languages or mathematics, the
meet only the obstacles common t
most professions-stupidity and indif
ference. If, however, they teach tn
social sciences, they will face diff
fcult problem.
Modern sociology instructors, EN-
phasizing environment, advocate i'm
proved factory conditions, a livinf
wage and other reforms to improve
the environment of the laborinf
classes. To many men such reforms
are dangerous, am infringement on
property rights. The modern instruc-
tor is apt to question the sacred
ness" of property rights.
Snag No. 1.-The powers that be-
in the legislature and in the business
world believe strongly in property
rights and would bitterly resent such
questioning as anarchy and what not.
And don't forget that these persons
were strong enough to oust Scott
Nearing from the University of Penn
sylvania
Furthermore, the new instructor
may subject to investigation such in
stitutions as marriage, religion and
other subjects hitherto considered too
sacred to be discussed. He may teach
mechanistic psychology or a So
cialistic philosophy. He may say that
religion, like other institutions, is in
a state of evolution and that certain
things taught by theologists are not
so.
Snag No. People fanatically fight
what they consider blasphemy. To
many such teachings may appear an
attack on the Bible, on the family-on
all that they cherish. The instructor
may be termed an infidel and efforts
made to quiet him.
You doubt this? About fifteen years
ago an instructor in a certain Mis-
souri, college was asked to resign be-
cause he taught that the Darwinian
theory was correct. Fifteen years
ago,
The pressure may not be only
from without. Fellow instructors
may say: Whats the use of taking
things so seriously? You'll make
people angry, and that will give the
legislature excuse to cut our appro-
priation." And so the teacher may
choose the easier way. 1t is safer to
be bromidic than to attack the illu-
sions of the majority. There is the
fear of losing ones job.
What are you going to do, young
instructors? Realizing that the here
sizes of today are the axioms of tomor-
row, are you going to join the long
list of illustrious blasphemers like
Galilee, Copernicus and Darwin? Or
are you going to choose the easier
way. Can you desert your trust by
sending out into the world students
who. ignorant of the true state of af-
airs, will always oppose every new
movement because it is too radical?"
The eyes of the scientific students
ire hopefully watching you. F.S.
