BOY SCOUTS AND EDUCATION

There has been a tradition in the
past that boys were white elephants
as far as their usefulness to COM
munity was concerned Persons were
wont to say that boys would be boys
and that they would grow into de-
pendable and helpful citizens when
they settled down into manhood Con-
sequently odd boys about town were
left at loose ends, and they spent re-
markably large part of their time
holding down the heavy portion of a
fishing pole or reading Diamond Dick
in the barn. AS for cleaning up the
town. or serving banquets, or help
ing i'm campaigns. or ushering at en-
tertainments-mos boys were con-
spicious by their absence, when such
events were taking place.
Now. with an organization, these
same boys-Or sons of them-are
among the first TO be considered when
the accomplishment of any work of
constructive value is being planned
And the consideration is deserved The
Boy Scouts are avid of employment
1t is said they sigh for more worlds to
conquer, frequently. But in their
thirst for more they do not slight the
task at hand. Their workmanlike way
of serving at the Made-in- Wartime
Banquet, the latest community service
they have rendered. won the admira-
tiOn of all who saw it,
The Scouts are certainly waging a
campaign of general enlightenment |
concerning boys.

IL GIRLS IN PLAY COMPANY
Home Guard Costume In "Present
Arms Resembles ZOuaye Soldiers

A company of seventeen girls, u.s.
ing wooden guns, is drilling this week
for the University High School pro-
duction of Present Arms" Friday
night. Their costume resembles that
of a zouave soldier. A French mon
key cap borrowed from a war ex-
hibit and duplicated in red material,
scarlet cutaway roundabouts, permit
ting white blouses to show, and black
bloomers and white stockings COM
plete the feminine idea of how a home
guard should, dress. R. NJ. Dewey is
drill master and director of the play.
Resembling the dance of the sea-
sons in the recent May Fete is the
dance of the hours, executed by g.
year-old girls in yellow, blue and rose
draperies.
Nearly all of the seats for Present
Arms" are sold. Eight hundred tick
cts have been disposed of by the chill
dren.

WARTIME SUMNER SESSION

War has brought new demands anC
new opportunities TO teachers of every
rank. The demand for trained minds
is so great that teachers may properly
regard their work as patriotic. They
should do everything to improve them
selves in their work and to prepare
themselves to teach patriotism to
others
The Summer Session of the Univer-
sity of Missouri has been planned to
meet wartime needs. Special courses
will be offered which will fit teachers
and students TO do more toward win
ming the war; patriotism is to be the
keynote
Missouri teachers can take their
regular summer school work and in
addition can attend a series of as
sembly lectures to be given upon the
historical and political aspects of the
war and upon food conservation.
The men will have an opportunity
to take military training, an oppor-
tunity which many Missouri teachers
do not have while they are teaching
The women will be offered special
courses in manual training, home eco
nomics, vegetable gardening. poultry
raising, food preservation and Red
Cross work.

In the spring the fancy of many
turns to a tonic and nature has pro-
vided several, excellent ones. among
them rhubarb or "pie-plant" II is a
very old friend of man The Chinese
knew il 5000 years ago. 1t appears
in their records as long ago as 27OO

way OF India in the fourteenth CEN
tury and it was many years later when
il became known over here.
There are many ways of using rhu-
barb other than in sauce AMI pies
Scalloped rhu5arb has about the same
acidity as scalloped tomatoes. Don't
use too much sugar. Stew it first.

STUDENT LABOR Is SCARCE
\. NJ. {. A. Employment Bureau Has
More Positions Than Men.

Fifty-twO students of the University
earned $700.95 cents by work obtained
for them during April by the employ
ment bureau of the Y. NJ. c. A. Nine
ty-one places were obtained. Fifty-
four were odd jobs and thirty-seyen
permanent positions. Six of the per-
manent positions were obtained for
the first time in April. From the fifty
four odd jobs, S72.35 was realized,
while the thirty-seven permanent posi-
tions brought in $62S.OO.
The bureau has more work than If
can find men to do this year on ac-
count of the war conditions. Preyi-
ously, the amount of work has not
been enough to supply the students
enrolled in the bureau.
The number of men who get work
through the bureau does not include
all of the men working their way
through the University. Some earn
enough in the summer to pay their
school expenses in the winter. MANY
are able TO obtain work without the
aid of the bureau after they become
familiar with the conditions here.
The employment bureau is now plac-
ing many of the students in positions
for the summer, where they will be
able to earn enough to pay at least
a large part of their expenses next
year.

REGISTRATION Day
THURSDAY. NEXT
All From Is to As, Inclusive.
Must Registering Day
TO Show Huns What
Is Coming.

Every agency available is be-
ing called upon by the State
Council of National Defense to
bring about one hundred per
cent. registration in Tennessee
on Sept. 18th.
Maj. Rutledge Smith, Chair
man of the Council of National
Defense in Tennessee. has asked
that every whistle be blown for
five minutes at 700 a. m. on the
18th; that every church bell be
rung for five minutes at the same
hour: that every band play and
that every flag in the State be
flown on Registration Day.
We want 'em to hear the noise
in Berlin, = said Maj. Smith.
While the registration of be-
tween twelve and thirteen million
men in one day is no small mat
ter" he said, Tennessee will
prove equal to the task, for this
is one instance when the regis
tration is everybody's business.
Federal, State, county and mum
cipal officers are charged under
the Act with the duty of seeing
that every male person between
the ages of Is and As, inclusive.
Except those previously regis
tered on Sept. 18th between the
hours of z a. m. and 9 p. m. and
woe unto that man who seeks to
avoid his responsibility on that
date.
Flags must be flown from eve-
ry public building and the date
and hours for registration have
been announced thru proclama-
ton of the President, the Govern
