JUNIOR COLLEGES RATED HIGHER
Work in First Two Years on Same
Basis as That of University.

A plan whereby students may get
their first two years of university
work in various junior colleges scat
tered over Missouri has been perfected
by the School of Education of the
University. In many cases this ar
rangement permits student to attend
school in his home town. 1t was ac-
complished by a standardization of
training comparable with that receiv-
ed in the University.
Parents who do not wish their chii-
dren to have the responsibility Of
self-directicn at an early age have
been given the privilege of choosing
a smaller college where there is more
supervision.
Knowing that the junior college of
the past had been outside the edu-
cational system of. the country, the
University accepted an invitation in
1911 to include them in their ac-
credited list. A committee on ac=
credited schools and colleges has
visited the schools and reviewed their
work and equipment, making sugges-
tions. The weak spots were remedied
and in the six years the Missouri
College Union has been in existence,
the system has been success both
to the junior colleges and to the Uni
versity.
All these schools so far are for
young women. The plan of two years
of high school and two years Of col
lege work has attracted many girls
deemed too young to go to the Uni
versity. The schools are: Christian
College. Columbia; Cottey College,
Nevada; Hardin College, Mexico;
College, Fayette; Lin
denwood Junior College, st. Charles;
Stephens College, Columbia, and
William Woods College, Fulton.

Farmers Urged 10 Spray Trees.

The College of Agriculture of the
University is urging the farmers to
spray their apple trees now that the
season for spraying is near. 1t is
necessary to spray the trees just be-
fore the opening of the buds and just
after the blooms have fallen. to kill
the insects which cause wormy md
deceased fruit The solution for the
spraying consists of sulphur with a
strength of one and a half gallons to
fifty gallons of water with two pounds
OF arsenate of lead paste or one pound
of powdered arsenate of lead. This
same solution should be used a week
later after the blooms have fallen.

CANVASS OF THE CITY
IN SEARCH Of ROOMS
Work Being Done Under Direction
of Federation of Citizens
Associations.

Approximately thirty citizens asso-
Citations covering every section of the
District are at work today canvassing
their neighborhoods for rooms to help
house the thousands of young women
the government is planning to bring TO
Washington during the next few
months.
The work is being done by commit
tees of women appointed by each asso-
ciation- These women met yesterday
in the board room of the District build
ing and received final instructions for
the canvass. The canvass is being made
under auspices of the Federation of
Citizens Associations at the reques, o.
the District Council of Defense
One of the purposes of the canvass is
to impress upon more house sekeepers the
need for taking in young women. ac-
cording to w. b. WestIake, chairman
of a subcommittee on housing of the
federation.
Although the room registration Office
of the District Council of Defense,
where the rooms secured in the canvass
will be filed. has a surplus of rooms at
present, this will have no effect on the
canvass. 1t is estimated that 10000 more
clerks are to be brought here, and while
,he government is planning to build
dormitories for at least half of this
number, there whl still be need for
every room the residents of Washing
ton can offer.
Persons having vacant rooms should
write to the room registration Office,
1921 New York avenue, giving bath
facilities street car accommoda tions
whether men or women are preferred
whether with or without board, and the
price.
