NATIONAL VOCATIONAL
EDUCATIONAL BILL

Recognizing the need of higher in
dustrial efficiency to meet the antici-
pated revival of economic competition
after the European war, the Senate
on August 18th passed the Hoke
Smith vocational education bill de-
signed to open the way for system
attic training in the ordinary pursuits
Of life.
The purpose of the measure, as de-
scribed by the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor, is "to provide
for the promotion Of vocational edu-
cation; to provide for cooperation
with the States in the promotion Of
such education in agriculture and
the trades and industries; to provide
for cooperation with the States in
the preparation Of teachers of vo-
cational subjects, and to appropriate
money and to regulate its expendi-
ture."
The measure creates a federal
board of vocational education, con-
sisting of the Postmaster General,
the Secretary Of the Interior, the
Secretary of Agriculture, the Secre-
tary of Commerce and the Secretary
Of Labor, with the Commissioner of
education as the executive officer of
the board. The board is authorized
to employ specialists in the various
branches of its work to direct the
purpose of the bill.
The bill was reported and introduced
in the Sixty-third Congress, but was
not pressed at that time as it was
deemed best to give an opportunity
for its study and criticism by various
organizations throughout the country,
Since then the bill has received COM
mendation from nearly every quarter,
For the purpose Of aiding the States
in paying the salaries of teachers on
agricultural subjects, the bill appro-

provides an annual appropriation OF
81 100000 to help the States in pre-
pairing teachers in agricultural and
trade and industrial subjects.

TO ASSIST WOMEN IN
SECURING EMPLOYMENT

The following is issued by Mrs.
Edwin A. Knapp, chairman of the
Central Division of the Press Commit
tee of the National Council of Women,
Mrs. w. j. Bryan, Chairman of Pub
licity Committee.
At meeting Of the presidents and
members of the leading women's or
CARNATIONS of Kansas City at the Ho-
tel Baltimore, Aug. 4th, a resolution
was unanimously passed to assist the
federal government in promoting its
woman's department in its free en-
ployment agencies.
DR.. Kate Waller Barrett of Wash
ington, representing the federal gov
eminent and acting under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Philip N. Moore of st.
Louis, president of the National Coun-
Gil of Women, was present and asked
the presidents Of the women's organ
izations of Kansas City to appoint
committees to look after this special
work. Such committees will act as
employment bureaus in their organi-
cations, cooperating with the local
federal agency in promoting a wider
field for its activities. Not only will
positions for domestic service be filled,
but applicants for skilled positions
will be assisted to employment. The
purpose of the agency will be to as
sist a woman to the work she is best
qualified to perform.
In the case of unframed workers
efforts will be made to procure posi-
tions that will afford support while
the workers are fitting themselves for
higher positions. An effort will be
ne lie II stsndardize work and issue
diplomas showing what grade of work
tn fAsier is qualified to perform.
This work is to be taken up all ov-
err the United States, and free en-
ployment agencies for women opened
in all the leading labor centers by the
federal government, cooperating with
the State and Municipal labor COM
missions.
DR.. Barrett is at present centraliz-
ing her efforts in Missouri and will
work in conjunction with the State
Commissioner of Labor in establish
ing free employment for women
branches over the State.
Al women's organizations of Mis-
sousi are asked to cooperate in this
work, making monthly reports to their

RYE FOR FALL PASTURE

After six weeks of severe drouth
and intense heat, blue grass and most
other pastures are SO dry that they
will furnish no pasturage until late
in the fall even with the aid of the
usual late summer and early fall
rains. The man who has much live
stock on hand will find it necessary to
provide temporary fall and winter
pasture. For this purpose there is no
better crop than rye, according to z.
B. Hutchinson, of the Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
Rye may be seeded any time during
september or October and is not at
tackled by the Hessian fly, so it will
not endanger fall wheat. 1t may be
sown just as early as the seed bed
can be put into proper condition on
stubble land or after corn has been cut
for sillage or fodder.
A bushel and half is enough for
early sowing but two bushels should
be used later, or mixture of 30 or
40 pounds Of rye and Is or 20 pounds
of yetch will give good results IT
sown late in August or early in Sep
TENDER.
Small fields of such cover crops fur
nish a great deal of pasture at little
expense and leave the soil in better
condition than if they had not been
grown. The vetch is legume which
adds nitrogen and the fine roots of
rye protect the soil against washing
which is more serious between grow
ing seasons than most people realize.
Next spring the rye may be turned
under as a grain manuring crop be-
fore corn planting time.

SCHOOL LUNCH IMPORTANT
in CHILDREN'S LIVES

With the opening of school only a
few weeks away, the busy mother is
again soon to be confronted with the
problem of her children's school lunch.
To give her a few suggestions, the
agricultural extension service Of the
University of Missouri has just is
sued bulletin, "The Cold School
Lunch"
A growing child at school must have
plenty Of good, wholesome food that
is easily digested, says the bulletin.
The less unnecessary tax put upon his
digestive organs the more energy he
viii have to spare for mental work.
The lunch should be carefully selected,
keeping these general points in mind:
az The child should have plenty Of
protein to keep him growing and this
should be gotten from eggs and milk
rather than much meat, (2) ripe fresh
or cooked fruits should be part of
every lunch, (3) fats should be sup
piled in the form of whole milk, butter
on sandwiches and egg yolks, (4)
fried foods are hard to digest and
should not form part of the lunch, (5)
a few pieces of good, homemade can
dy may be given, and an occasional
portion of well made pie, 81 add veg
etables to the lunch whenever posi-
BILE.
Some wholesome lunches suggested
by the bulletin are:
1. One chicken sandwich, one jam
sandwich, one apple, one glass of
milk, one small piece of cake 1.-TWO
graham or plain crackers and two aP-
Piles for recesses).
2. Brown bread and butter sand
witch, cottage cheese sandwich, celery,
one orange, nut and raisin cookies.
8. Ham sandwich, bread and butter
sandwich, fudge sandwich, apple
sauce, one glass OF lemonade.
Another important thing to con-
slider is the lunch container. The
lunch should never be wrapped in
newspapers, but put in tin pals, fiber
boxes, or the ideal but rather expen-
sive thermos lunch box. Waxed pa
per, plain white paper napkins, seal
tight jars or thermos bottle to carry
semi-liquid foods and drinks are also
important in packing the lunch. Uni

BE CHEERFUL

James Buchanan Brady, one of the
most successful statesmen in the eoufi-
try, was asked, some time ago, for
some rule for success for young men,
and he said: "It's a good idea for
young men nowadays to be cheerful.
A great big smile always wins. Be
good natured."
Cheerfulness isn't all there is to
success, but assuredly it helps. In
this torrid summer weather, for in
stance, how much pleasanter it is to
meet a man who is taking it good ma
turedly than one who is inclined to
crouch. How much more attractive
is the man who greets you with a
smile than the one whose face indi-
Gates he is full to the brim with sour
feelings and hard luck stories and
needs only an opportunity to begin
unloading.
Smile, grin, snicker-do something
that will make your face look cheer
full. The chances are you aren't any
too good looking at best, and sourness
is the last straw Of unattractiveness
Looking grave won't fool strangers in
to believing you amount to a lot more
than you do, and won't make you a
single additional friend. People may
feel sorry for you if you look sad,
but they won't want you around.
Things may not have been going just
as you would have them, but they
won't go any better if you draw
long face. Some people imagine they
will wait until after they have made
success before they begin to act the
part, but this is the wrong theory.
Act as if the world was treating you
decently and it will treat you that
way. Hard as it may sound, the
world hasn't any use for failure,
and it hasn't any use for the man who
looks as if he didn't have any real
hope of winning out. A forced smile
is far better than no smile at all. Few
people will know it is forced. If you
will be cheerful for any length Of
time you will soon have something to
be cheerful for. Twist your mouth
corners upward. Start now.

CAN NOW FOR WINTER USE

Whole tomatoes, green peppers,
spinach and corn on the cob every
day next winteri Doesn't the thought
suggest a pleasant departure from
too much meat in the diet?
Every woman on the farm should
can surplus fruits and vegetables dur
ing the summer months for winter
use. according to Miss Addie D. Root
of the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture. By so doing, the cost of valu-
able food will be decreased and meals
during the winter will be made more
appetizing. Fruits and vegetables
give variety to the diet and supply
certain food materials which are nee
essary to maintain health. They do
not leave us in need of a spring tonic.
In the day of our grandmothers the
canning of vegetables was little UNDER
stood and results were seldom success
full. We know today that foods spoil
from the action of small organisms
called bacteria, which float in the air
around us and we know how to kill
them. If these are killed in the pro-
cess of canning and the jars sealed air
tight, food will keep indefinitely. Diff
ferent kinds of bacteria are found in
different kinds of foods. Some kinds
require higher temperature to kill
them than others and for this reason
some fruits and vegetables must be
cooked longer than others during the
canning process.
For the beginner the water-bath
Gamer is recommended as the simplest
form. 1t can be arranged in any homeT
with but small expense. 1t consists
of a containing vessel with rack and
a cover. A wash boiler may be used.
A rack may be made of thin boards
or heavy wire. 1t should be raised
three-fourths of an inch from the bot
tom Of the boiler or enough SO that
water can circulate freely under the
jars. This prevents the jar from get
ting too hot. Water should be an
inch over the tops Of the jars.
Before placing the jars in the boil
er, screw the top down as tightly as
possible with thumb and little finger.
If screwed too tightly, expansion will
cause the jars to break. The cans are
removed most easily by means of can
litter.
Miss Root has recently issued
circular containing directions for can
ming all the common fruits and vege-
tables. It can be secured by writing
to the Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture, Columbia, Mo.

DEPARTMENT OF PREVENTIVE
MEDICINE HELPS THE PEOPLE

The past year has been one Of the
most prosperous in the history OF the
department of preventive medicine OF
the University of Missouri. The scope
Of the work has been greatly extend
ed. The facilities Of the laboratory,
within reasonable limitations, are open
to the physicians in the State in order
that any citizen, however poor, may
have all that the laboratory has to Of
fer.
DR.. M. P. Ravenel, director of the
laboratory, is frequently sent out into
the State TO deliver addresses before
schools, churches and other public
meetings. They are given on hygiene
and prevention of diseases, and when
possible they are illustrated by Ian
tern slides.
Many general inquiries concerning
the care of children, water supplies,
disinfectants, foods, milk, ETC.; come
to the department from all over the
State, and are carefully answered. In
addition, a health bulletin is SEM out
each week to papers in the State
These bulletins are short articles on
health, the prevention of various di-
seases, and items of public interest.
In the laboratory, anti-typhold VIC
cine is made. 1t is distributed to ply
sicians Of the State free Of charge up
on request. Within the past year 81
100 doses have been sent to physi-
clans. This vaccine generally I'M
munes the patient for two years.
During the last year 2,312 specimens
were received from physicians and ex-
amined free Of charge. These consist
ed of swabs for diphtheria bacilli, spu-
tum, for tubercle bacilli, blood for ty-
phoid reaction, slides for malarial
parasites, water for sewage pollution,
general analyses of urine, etc.

EXTENSION DIVISION
TAKES THE UNIVERSITY OF
MISSOURI TO THE PEOPLE

To the people Of the State who can
not come to Columbia to attend the
University of Missouri, the University
sends it's education. 1t does this
through the extension division by
means of correspondence courses and
extension lectures.
Correspondence courses are gwen m
arts and sciences, education COM
merce. agriculture and engineering,
and count for credit toward the A. b.
degree, the B. S. degree in education
and certificates in the two-year winter
course in agriculture. In addition,
courses are given in high school work
for students wishing to complete ell
trance credit requirements. Lessons
with instructions for study are sent
out to the students. They then return
the prepared lessons which are cor
rected and sent back to them. Fight
weeks are normally required TO finish
a course of one hour, sixteen weeks
for a course Of two hours, and SO on,
if one assignment is taken a week.
Courses may be finished sooner, how
ever, if the student has plenty Of time
to devote to study.
Extension lecture courses are car
ried on by certain members of the
University faculty, the people of the
community desiring the lectures pay
ing the travelling expenses of the lee
turer. Students enrolled in extension
centers, who desire University credit
for a course, must, in addition to at
tending the lectures, pay an enroll
ment fee and write papers in each
course.
Books, other than required texts,
needed for courses may be borrowed
from the University library. Pack-
ages for debating material, lantern
slides, bulletins and art exhibits are
also sent out to different schools of
the State upon request.
The extension division was estab-
lished in 1910. That it has greatly
grown in popularity may be attested
by the fact that the enrolment for
the school year has increased from
so in 1913 to almost 700 for the year
ending June, 1916,
