The Public School and the
Debt We Owe It.

On Friday evening more than thirty
young men and women will be graduated
from the Pensacola High School, leaving
their Alma Mater to take their places in the
ranks of the worlds workers, for it mat
tiers not what their avocation or calling, if
they are to become useful men and women,
they must work for whatever place is to
be theirs.
1t is possible that these young men and
young women are not fully conscious of
the privileges which are theirs, in the adj
vantages they have enjoyed in the public
schools of the city. The public school,
with all its faults, and it has faults, is one
OF the greatest of all American institutions.
In the school room and on the grounds
each boy and girl has equal advantages of
education and recreation, and the oppor-
tunitles are such that anyone who so
chooses may receive an education such as
Will place him on an equal plane with the
educated men and women he is to meet and
cope with when he leaves the school room
for the affairs of life.
The public schools of the city are i'm
proving with each year, and it is to the
c1ty's credit that each year the number of
graduates is increasing A splendid spirit
OF class loyalty is developing in the school,
a spirit which should be and must be chilli
waited if the school is to take the place that
1t should take in the community life.
The young men and the young women
who on the night of their graduation, are
bidding goodbye to the classroom. should
remember that their obligation to the
school has not ended. Rather has it lust
begun
1t is to the men and women, graduated
from the school, who should feel the re-
sponslb1llty resting upon them to further,
IN every possible way, the school Develop
ment. 1t should be the resolve Of every
young man and young woman, in leaving
the school, never to speak of the school
which has given them it's opportunities
with any words but those of gratitude and
kindness. If there have creDt into the
school lite friction or misunderstanding.
these are common to all work where MANY
personalities are represented, and should
be the business of the school. and not of
the public. Class loyalty should prevent
any word Of discrimination against the
school, from self or any other person, and
IN giving to the school this LOYALTY it
should be backed up by an interest that is
active and helpful.

School, fully realizing its responsibilities

TAXING A REST.

"Vouchsafe" is a word that isn't
working very hard these days.
The daily Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1916-1917, 1916-08-16
EARLY PAPER PUBLISHED HERE
Nathaniel Patten Edited the Missouri
Intelligencer in 1919.

Columbia has the distinction of be-
ing one of the three cities in which
the first newspaper west of st. Louis
was published.
Nathaniel Patten, a New Englander
by birth, began the publication of
The Missouri Intelligencer and
Boone's Lick Advertiser" at Franklin,
Mo-, in 1919.
He remained at Franklin for seven
years and then moved his paper to
Fayette, the county seat of Howard
County. He stayed here only four
years, moving from Fayette to Colum-
bia
Thus Columbia shares the honor
with two other cities of having had
the first country newspaper of Mis-
souri, published there, for Patten did
not sell the Intelligencer but carried
it with him.
The paper was published here from
May 4, 1880. to December 5. 1885. 1t
and the st. Louis Republican were the
leading Whig papers of the state.
Both Patten and his newspaper
Jared better at Columbia than at eth
er Franklin or Fayette He sold the
paper in 1885 to a group of Wings
headed by James S. Rollins and Thom-
as Miller. with the intention of re-
firing from active work.
This was impossible to a man of
Patterns temperament. and in less than
a year he began the publication of his
second newspaper, "The St Charles
Clarion and Missouri Commercial and
Agricultural Register" at St Charles.
Patten lived only two years after
leaving Columbia, dying in st.
Charles at the age of As, November "a.
1897.
Patten probably did more for the
country newspaper and for journal
ism in general than any other man
during the nineteenth century. AL
though a Whig himself. he kept his
paper free from the control of any
party and that it was possible to pub
lish an independent paper.

Editor the Missourian: Columbia
has one of the best fire departments
in this state, headed by a chief who
has put the town on the map for pro-
gressiveness in fire equipment. The
good work of this department should
not be handicapped. The chief needs
a small car, and he does not ask for
high priced. high-power car. but one
that can be had at a low price and
that will help him in fighting the fires
of the city.
Each member of the department is
allowed so many hours off duty every
day, but with the present equipment
the chief is forced to stay at the sta
tion all the time. He has a motor cy-
Gle. but there are times when it is i'm
possible to use this machine with any
speed, and these are the times that
he should be on the scene of the fire.
Again. if anything should happen to
the fire truck, there is no way of
getting the fire-fighting equipment to
the fire. but if the department had an
auxiliary car, the truck could be tow
ed. or the hose and chemicals changed
to the smaller car. 1t would also give
the chief more time to do his work
of inspection more efficiently. for then
he would not be afraid to get out of
sight of his stations. r.

A SPRING FOR VI. L.

On the University West Campus OF
the hillside below Laws Observator,
and above the grass covered patti
known to the older alumni as Camillf
Dale, beside the older Via Curatorum
stands a monument seldom noticed
by visitors to Columbia rusty lead
pipe.
Students of the last century who re-
member when the Columns were
young come to visit their Alma Mater
and the mineral spring they studied
by-and find the short two-inch pipe.
When the branch and the path Of
the northeast corner of the campus
we're changed and the scenery i'm
proved the old springhouse was torn
away, the pump taken up and the
spring filled in.
"The best spring in the country
some said. "A holy place for Sunday
and a cool den for all time" said 9TH
ers. But they try to say nothing now
when they stumble over that lead
pipe
There is an eager desire in Colum-
bia for a real spring near town. Sew
eral of them within walking distance
are popular Why not one in town,
on the campus where the water is
waiting only for a chance to show it
self?

The Open Column
Speeding and Cut.Outs.

Editor the Missourian: / note with
great pleasure that at the Council
meeting last night some citizen of
the town at last mustered up enough
courage to protest against the reck-
less manner of driving and against
the lax way in which the police en-
force the ordinance against running
cars with the cut-outs open. II is
high time that these speed maniacs
who run their cars with utter disre-
gard for others comfort were forcibly
reminded that there are many citizens
who do not at all care to listen to the
racuous music of cut-outs when any
sane minded person should be in bed.
Let us hope that the council will at
least take action to abolish this bar
barism. r. s. G..
