MENTAL SKILL, NOT ARMS

| Compulsory military training in
colleges is opposed by Henry S.
Pritchett, president of the Carnegie
/ Foundation for the Advancement of
| Teaching. Instead, he favOrs the col
! lege training which gives the students
disciplined minds, equipping them for
service in any vocation.
Mr.. Pritchett points out that since
military training was put into Ameri-
can colleges in 1862. 100000 students
are supposedly trained in tactics, but
that, in truth, those who have had
such training are, practically, neg
ligible military resource. But the
colleges" said Mr. Pritchett, could
do much for military training by hold
ing a fair and tolerant attitude to-
ward the life of the army and navy"
The critic does not belittle the
military profession, for he believes
that no professional man is offered
greater opportunities for service than
an officer in the army or navy Be-
littling these opportunities is strik-
ing blow at the spirit which under
lies all loyalty and all service.
Admitting that the military train
ing given in this country in colleges
has not been without its value, Mr.
Pritchett contends that it has not al
ways been serious and not properly
related to the practical life of the
soldier. Preparedness, even in a mill
tary sense, is that fitness which en-
ables young men to do serious work,
to know thoroughly some things, to
acquire a measure of self-discipline,
ito be tolerant of other mems opin-
ions, to be patient with other mems
prejudices, to be unmOved by the hat
red which grows up so easily in the
world"

TWO WOMEN AND A DOG
HIKE ACROSS CONTINEN T

How would you like to hike from
Chicago to San Francisco and back

girl and the tiniest dog Imaginable ?
Its easy said Miss Maud S. Brid-
son, who arrived in Columbia Tues
day night on her way back to Chica-
go. "Why, we planned on Sunday to
make the trip and left Chicago the
next Thursday, which was March IS.

No definite route was planned, but
the girls went through Omaha, Den
yer, north to the Yellowstone, then
through Seattle, down to Sam Francis
co, where they arrived October l. Aft
er spending three weeks at the fair.
they started on the return trip. The
winter was spent in Arizona. Miss
Bridson said, 81 must reach home by
July IA, fer my twentieth birthday"

white boots. She carries a newspaper

bag with few clothes, a Bible, note
book and reading material. Her only
means of defense is a revolver, the
use of which brought her a sharp
shooters badge.
This young woman hopes some day
to be an author, and the object of this
trip was to get material for a book
of travels. After a short visit at home
she expects to go to Europe and write
her impressions of the war zone.
Miss Bridson became interested in
walking when she taught a country
school in the southern part of Michi-
gan in 1914. She walked fifteen miles
to her home every Friday. On the
present trip the average is thirty
miles a day She left Columbia about
i:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon. and
expected to reach Fulton by dark.
Miss Bridson's companion, Miss
Ruth E. Harsley of Chicago, took
southern route from Kansas City to
st. Louis, where the girls plan to
meet again.

spend Sunday. This town has more
shade, better walks, prettier lawns
and more congenial people than any
town I've seen lately. All seem to
be nearer the same level here than
they are at most places
Sometimes it is hard, but often it is
good, to see ourselves as others see
us. The three campuses, the fine
buildings and the two sets of columns
are more elegant, but the homes of
Columbia are the impressive things
to the sightseer who gives the town
more than a passing glance. If you
don't believe it, take vacation for a
week and walk through the town,
feel the walks with your feet, see the
homes standing still instead of flying
past the car, and then learn to value
Columbia at its true worth.

MISSOURI IN MEXICO

The mobilization OF the NatlOna
Guard of Missouri for service on the
Mexican border is not without histOri
cal precedent This state sent 6,00(
soldiers to Mexico when war was de-
clared in 1916.
When the call was sounded, Mis-
souri, responded with four companies
too many. The regiments served in
the famous Army of the West, COM
manded by General S. w Kearney.
Colonel Doniphan and Colonel Price
headed the Missouri regiments.
The army was moblized at Leaven-
worth and marched to Santa Fe in the
summer. 1t then proceeded to occu-
py a domain that is now four states.
Kearney took a small force and start
ed for California Colonel DOniphan
started south and joined forces, just
north of Ell Paso, with Colonel ID. ID.
Mitchell, an Indian agent of st. Louis,
Major Meriweather, Lewis Clarke and
a company of St Louis artillery. With
an army of 900 men thus organized,
they set out for Chihuahua with Or
ders to meet General Wood there
After fighting many battles they en-
tered that city, only to discover that
General Wood was more than seven
hundred miles away.
What was left of the 900, headed by
Colonel Mitchell with 100 picked men,
marched over the table land toward
SaltillO. found General Taylor and
asked for more fighting. There was
no more to be had at that time, how
ever. SO the Missourians came home.
The little army had travelled nearly
four thousand miles by land and wa
ter through the Mexican republic and
had won for its commander, Colonel
Doniphan, the title of "The Xenophon
of the Mexican War
Recognizing the achievement of the
Doniphan expedition, William Cullen
Bryant paid the following tribute to
Missouri's heroism: This body of
men conquered the states of New
Mexico and Chihuahua and traversed
Durango and New Leon. On this
march they travelled more than six
thousand miles, consuming twelve
months During all this time not one
word of information reached them
from their Government, nor any Or
der whatsoever; they neither receiv-
ed supplies of any kind nor one cent
of pay. They lived exclusively on the
country through which they passed
and supplied themselves with powder
and balls by capturing them from the
enemy. From Chihuahua to Mata-
mOras, distance of 900 miles. they
marched in forty-five days, bringing
with them seventeen pieces of heavy
artillery as trophies
