Anent Cheating i'm Exams.

Editor the Missourian: There is
great need of immediate reform with
regard to the manner of examination
in this University. Until the last
semester examinations / had never
seen any cheating here. During, and
since, those examinations l have seen
enough to convince anyone that some
reform should be introduced.
There are three ways to remedy
this condition: a rigid system of proc
toring; a return to hazing-by which
one can always impress upon a mans
mind the fact that he is not in sur

ant; the introduction of the honor
system.
Without either of the last two meth

The dictates of custom forbid holding
up ones hand, wriggling it wildly
about until the instructors eve is
caught, and then piping out in vir-
tuous accents, Please, sir, Johnny
Jones is cheating" Neither can he re-

all authoritative manner An effec-
tive student remonstrance needs be-

A CITY BEAUTIFUL

st. Louis has started "city beauti-
full movement. Engineers have made
a survey and have recommended spe-
cific Improvements for the city Kan
sas City, through its press, is advo-
eating the use of the ground near the
Union station for parks and drive
ways, rather than business houses
which will naturally be of an infe-
rior type.
Columbia, conceded by many to be
one of the most beautiful small cities
in Missouri, has many problems which
make ''city beautiful" campaign de-
sirable. Its problem is not so much
one of cleaning up the present con-
ditions as it is of extending still far
ther the beautiful conditions that al
ready prevail. Columbia is excep-
tionally fortunate in being construc-
lively beautiful.
A ''city beautiful campaign for Co
lumbia would rather embrace a prop
osition for more paving, more public
buildings, better streets and better
kept homes and lawns. The city need
not be ashamed of its appearance. 1t
needs to carry on what it has so well
begun.

work, suddenly cast aside by the mass
of workers, has gone on. Industry
is becoming feminized. 1t is the toll
of women in the munition factories
that turns out the never-ceasing line
of munitions that pour from France
and England into the eastern and
western fronts. Women work in the
fields. in the shops, in the offices. They
are engineers. conductors, policemen,
firemen, artisans. Behind almost ev-
cry worker at the front stands q
woman. The worlds Industrial pace
has slackened, but it has not stopped.
And it is the women who have done
it; they have formed the reserves OF
the nations.
What will happen after the war.
when the men whose places women
now hold come back, is another ques-
tiOn. Doubtless there will be some
economic readjustment, although it
is probably a grOundless fear that an
industrial situation which has arisen
out of abnormal conditions will per-

TEN after the war will recognize this
new capability of women in industry,
and the fresh fields she has won will
remain open to her. |

lengthy and prolonged search report
ed out. A few minutes later he asked
another clerk for the same books and
discovered that the last person be-
fore him to draw the books out had
been away from Columbia for THREE
WEEKS. This mistake was made in
spite of the fact that the books were
in their regular places on the reserve
shelf.
More evidence: Another student
called for several books which were
on reserve when there were only
three persons in the library, and the
clerk behind the desk this time could
not find whether the books were on
reserve, in the stacks or where.
This is not to say that the whole
force is inefficient, for there are some
capable and accommodating assistants
land to them is due the thanks of the
student body; but it certainly is dis
cOuraging to come to the library ex-
pecting to get a book and have to
waste valuable time in waiting for
some inexperienced librarian to make

SAYS ST. LOUIS MUST GET BUSY
]. c. Mccoy Dissatisfied with Conser.
yatism of Missouri City.

Dissatisfaction with the develop
ment of st. Louis in comparison to
other cities of the Middle West was
expressed yesterday by J. c. Mccoy
of that city while stopping at the Ath-
ems Hotel. "St. Louis is too conserva-
tive to develop as it should" said Mr..
Mccoy. "If the citizens were as pro-
gressive as they should be, ships
would be coming up the Mississippi
River from New Orleans.
"In Indianapolis the lights from the
buildings downtown make the night
seem like day. 1t will be 1920 before
St. Louis has anything like that, at the
rate we are going now. Cleveland is
a wonderful growth as a
result of her progressive actions OF
the last few years. 1t is up to the
people Of st. Louis to shake of their
cloak of conservatism and get busy"

Overlooked. .

Editor the Missourian: The plat
forms of the candidates for mayor Of
Columbia, as stated by them in Sun
days Missourian, seem to have omit
ted topics of importance to citizens
of this community.
Each candidate declared that he
was the tool of no business interest
or clique and that he believed in en-
forcement of law. OF course, no can
didate who held contrary beliefs would
be logically eligible for any public
Office; so these declarations do not
promise anything new for Columbia.
Here are a few issues of paramount
importance to the further progress of
the city of which no definite mention
has been made by the three candi-
dates:
A new city hall.
Reservations for parks.
Properly cleaned streets. D..
Prevention of blocked streets by
construction companies.
Stopping speeding on Columbia
streets.
Payment of city bonds.
Adequate repairs or a new Stewart
bridge.
A systematic campaign against
bootleggers.
Commission form of government.
Further extension of water and san
itary systems.
These problems can not be solved
either by the passing of ordinances,
with which Columbia is already over
burdened, or by vague promises of en-
forcing them. Just how would the
candidates for the Office of mayor en-
force the laws and provisions gov
erning these problems. Adequate en-
fOrcement of law is easier said than
done and requires a definite system
to put it into practice.
Certainly each of the candidates has
his own ideas upon the subject Co.
lumbia voters have a right to hear
from them. VOTER.

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE GUNNER

In an age of shrapnel and aero
planes, We are perhaps prone to think
of courage in a narrow sense-as of
something that the soldier possesses
in a high degree, that the young
Frenchman who brought down three
hostile biplanes and escaped with on
ly broken arm possesses in such a
degree that one is inclined to wonder
about his family history.
But there is another kind of cour-
age-the kind that Napoleon called
"4-o'clock courage" the courage
whose victory must be daily and never
spectacular, whose sanction rests up
on this simple statement: 1T is i'm
possible to break my spirit"
This courage the women of Europe
have. and it shows in every incident
OF their new routine of endeavor.
They have taken up the tools that
men have dropped, and the worlds

She Urges Interest In Juvenile Movies.
Editor the Missourian: The Broad
way Odeon has just finished the series
of juvenile programs given under the
auspices of the women's clubs of the
town. The series has furnished a va
riety of entertainment, including child
drama, comedy, cartoons, travel films,
nature films, patriotic films, Industrial
and current-interest films. The man
ayers of the Odeon are going to con-
tinue on Saturday afternoon these ju-
venile programs.
This movement is worthy of the
sustained attention of those interested
in the question of raising the stand
ard of Juvenile movies. And everyone
is interested, whether he recognizes
it or not. Take a little time to see
some of these shows. Praise the good
as well as condemn the unsatisfac-
tory. If you have had advantages
which have developed in you a dis
eliminating taste and an appreciation
of the best, let your advantage serve
those less fortunate by helping to give
them a better class of entertainment.

EDUCATED POTATOES

Ernest r. DeVinge, school gardener
of Kansas City, has estimated that the
city can realize s3,5OO,OOO by raising
potatoes on it's vacant lots.
Here is an opportunity for Colum-
bia school children. For several years
they have profitably expended their
energies in making playground equip
ment, beautifying the school grounds
and setting out flowers and shrubs.
These occupations afford amusement,
but little financial gain. When mon
ey is needed for special improvements
not provided for by the school board,
entertainments involving weeks of
work and worry, or candy sales,
meaning a further drain on the family
pocket-book, are held.
If sufficient ground for school pO-
tato patches is not available, the use
of land, now of no special purpose,
could easily be obtained from public
spirited citizens. Potatoes, perhaps,
are not so beautiful as tulips, but they
are considerably more profitable and
afford as much fun for the children in
caring for them. The profit on a
school potato patch at 1915 bushel
would furnish ample funds for the
little extras" about the school build
ings which are now cared for by
mothers clubs. private subscriptions
or money earned by the children
themselves.
Spring is almost here, and it is time
the "murphies" were starting to
school.
