WHY NOT WRITE TODAY9

A Columbia boy who has been in
the front line trenches writes that he
was glad to get out of the trenches
and back to headquarters for he knew
some letters would be waiting him
there. But supposing no letters had
been there?
Everyone is disappointed when an
expected letter fails to come; how
much more so one must be when he
is in a foreign land fighting for his
home and country.
THE man who gets a letter from
home is a fifty per cent better fighter
that day than the man who does not
The great thing to do is to write
write-write Always write cheerfully,
even if you do not feel cheerful" says
Sir Walter Lawrence of the British
Army who is now in the United States.
If you know someone who is Some
where in France" write him today;
you would like to hear from him but
letters do not mean as much to you
as they do to him. He needs them.
Why not write today?

THE SCHOOLS SERVICE

by their fruits ye shall know
them. The School of Journalism
during its ten-years' life has put out
a goodly crop. The work it has ac-
complished is a vindication of its ex-
istence and a guaranty of its future.
Generally, it has heightened the
moral plane of the press in Mis- IOuri
and the rest of the country, has given
to the newspapers a better mental
pabulum and, consequently, to the
public better service. The influence of
the school has been wide spread be-
cause even at first its cry was not fee
ble-it was heard in the far corners
and drew to it those to when the smell
of printers ink always be as incense.
With it was born the idea of the
trained journalist. Ii has always been
taken for granted that doctors, law
yers and other servants of the human
race should be trained. And now the
journalist, who labors hardest for his
fellow men, no longer enters his work
unskilled and ignorant. He puts out
a paper far superior in content, make
up and style TO those that went be-
fore it,
From its incipiency the school has
sought to instill the highest ideals in
the hearts of those who enter its doors.
1t has taught them that their first
duty is to the right and to the public
they serve. 1t has taught them never
to write as a journalist what they
would not write as a gentleman.
The papers published now are whole
some. friendly. champions of the
truth. The caustic, irascible press
of yOre has gone out of style. And
the School of Journalism is proud of
the fact that it was a factor in this
change for the better.

NO RETALIATION

The State Department has begun an
inquiry to confirm the press reports
of ill-treatment of American prisoners
OF war in Germany. If the reports
are true, retaliatory measures will
then be considered.
Heretofore German prisoners of war
have been treated with marked liber-
ality by the United States. For in
stance, a German prisoner of captain
rank receives the same pay as an
American officer of the same rank.
As the American officer is the highest
paid in any army in the world, the
German receives higher pay than
when he was in the German army.
Such generosity on the part Of the
United States has met with adverse
criticism from some quarters.
1t would seem that such treatment
errs rather on the side of virtue, is
rather too much of good thing, but
retaliation for German cruelties is
more to be avoided. For three reas-
ons the latter system should have
careful consideration before being
taken up. 1t is hard to ascertain the
truth concerning the alleged atrocious
care American prisoners receive, be-
cause the Germans will permit prison
inspection only of those camps that
it selects, and there Is little fault to
be found with them. Retaliatory
measures would give truth to the tales
the German officers tell their men Of
the treatment of prisoners by Ameri-
cans.
But greatest is the third reason.
America is fighting a war for ideals.
Germany and German cruelties are on
the other side Of the great divide.
Retaliation is "a great leveler and
vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.

BOONE GOES OVER

The over-subscription of Boone
County and Columbia to the Third
Liberty Loan is another laurel to add
to the many that this community has
won through conscientious support
of all campaigns for the good of the
Nation and humanity.
Boone has always been among the
leaders in worthy movements, if it
has not been the leader. The Third
Liberty Loan came at a time of world
crisis. The loan had to be supported
or else it would look as if the cOun-
try was not backing up the boys at
the front. Boone had to over-sub-
scribe the allotment or lose all of the
prestige built up by the splendid acts
OF the past
Boone's money will now go TO the
front to fight for those who want to
help put down autocracy but who
cannot leave their homes and families.
Their dollars will fight for them. Our
boys are already on the firing line,
some have been wounded. The money
raised by the third loan campaign
VIII enable them to fight with the
best OF care and equipment and will
give them the conviction that the

The MONDAY Club.
The MONDAY Club is composed of
students and faculty who entertain
distinguished University guests at
lunch. Among those who have spok-
en- before the club this year are the
following: The Rev. Burris A. Jen-
kins of Kansas City; Dr. Hugh Black
and Doctor Powers of New York City;
Lloyd Killam and Charles Loomis of
Hawaii
The Y. NJ. c. A. Building is the rem
devious for the Summer Session men.
The large receptions and sOeials are
held during the summer months and
special addresses dealing with religi-
GUS education are given. There was
organized this year a fraternity bu-
reau to serve fraternity men. AS a
result lectures were given in II of the
IA social fraternities by a faculty man
on moral problems In addition lee
ture Bible classes were held in two
fraternities with a total attendance of
100.
The association distributed 700 cop
les of Doctor Exner's Friend or Enc
my and has a circulation library of
sex hygiene books. Although no def
mite lectures were held on this sub
ject. it is thought that a great deal of
good resulted by means of books and
personal interviews.
In recent years the association has
brought to the University some of the
outstanding religious and social lead
ers of the country. These addresses
have been strong and vital and have
greatly influenced the religious
thought and life of the University.

year: Lloyd Killam of Honolulu, W.

HOW THE Y. M. G.. A. HELPS
STUDENTS IN UNIVERSITY

What the University Y. NJ. c. A. does
for the students and University COM
munity is contained in a review of the
associations activities recently writ
ten by Dean Kirkenslager, the secre-
tary. 1t says:
The association writes all prospec-
tive students during the summer, and
extends to them an invitation to make
the building their headquarters while
getting located. Trains are met, and
the men are assisted in finding rooms
and board. The Association with its
friendly influences comes into the
life of the freshman at the most criti-
cal period of his University career.
More new friendships are formed dur
ing the opening of school in the Y. NJ.
c. A. Building than at any other point
around the University. This year, in
addition to the usual work of the as
sociatiOn, 1000 handbooks were dis
tributed, which aided the men in get
ting quickly acquainted with the Uni
versity activities.
The Missouri High School graduate
who has to finance his college course
advises with the Y. NJ. c. A. Employ
ment Bureau. The association cor
responds with scores of these men
each year, and in many cases the way
is opened for them to come to the Uni
versity. The bureau, one of the most
successful to be found in any Ameri-
can University has since September
over 1SO different men in Sc
curing work valued at nearly $1,000.
In the past there has usually been
more men than work. but this year

SCHOOL MATTERS

Now that another school year
is over, it may seem appropriate
to set before the citizens of the
town few statements as to the
work accomplished during the year,
the present situation and the prospects
before us. Since / have not much
either time or space, l wish to contine
my remarks almost exclusively to the
matters touching the high school. Be
cause, whether you think so or not,
your high school department is the
most impor tant department just now
ard should engage your most earnest
interest. Right now is the accepted
time at which the citizens of Estancia
can step to the front and have coun
ty high school established before am
bilious rivals advance their claims. lc
can be done by having one-fifth of the
voters of the county sign petition for
establishing county high school,
Then a general election is called, and
if majority vote for the measure we
can have this established county high
school. Now some public spirited men
should get busy and not let others get
ahead Everyone knows what good
school means to town and ought to
push this matter simply out of self in
terest. You can easily see, moreover,
that if this school we're made a county
high school, the people all over the
county, instead Of teaching the higher
grades in their local schools, would
send their young folks to the county
high school, since they would be called
upon to support it.
shall now Indicate why consider
this the auspicious time, the very hour
in which this work should be taken up
and pushed vigorously to finish.
This is the first year full high
school course is taught at this place.
Last year there we're seven pupils
pursusng studies above the Sth grade.

This first year of full high school work
we nave had an enrolment of thirty
one and twenty-five have remained
throughout the yaar. We have two
graduates. In the freshman class are
twelve students, and only three of
them graduated from the 9Th grade of
this school. The other nine, or three
fourths, came from other places. This
year we had about twenty graduates
fIom the 9Th grade, and the majority
OF them plan to enter high school in
the fall Now, if the percentage of
outside members of that prospective
class would he the same as IN this
years freshman class, you can see how
greatly the Attendance would Increase,
and this would bp much more certain
of taking place if this school were
made county high school,
Some people misunderstood the ma
ture and extent of the work done in
our high school department They
think we are not doing full high school
work. | here wish To remove any
causes for such misunderstanding
Not only do we give full four year
high school course, but our work AS
high school is recognized by the high
est educational institution in the state,
which is evidenced by the certificates
sent to our graduates by DIR. Boyd Of
the University of New Mexico, ad-
mitting them into the freshman class
of their college department.
Now, with these young people knock
ing at the door of opportunity for
full, liberal, unstinted development of
their mental faculties. it is the solemn
duty of every true and loyal citizen to
help create and develop that opportun-
ity for them. They are entitled to
good corps of teachers They are en-
titled to building sufficiently equipped
to enable them to carry on with facility
all the studies prescribed for recog-
nized high schools all over this country.
They are the hope of tomorrow, and
it is our duty to give them the best OPP
portunities for preparing themselves
to become more useful citizens than
we are. This is even more important
than our daily struggle for existence.
In general, the work in the school
has been going smoothly the past year.
No serious breaks in attendance have
been caused by general illness. A spir-
it of patriotism, caused by the eX-
traordinary condition of our country at
present, has pervaded the school, and
activities connected with this patriot
ism have been taken up and pursued
with enthusiasm.
And now wish to thank the citizens
of Estancia for the cooperation given
to me and my fellow teachers in our
to serve not only the children
at school but the general welfare Of
the community, and personally to ex,
press my appreciation for the cordial
treatment and the general friendship
accorded to me by the citizens of the
town. hope that if shall be with
you another year there will be felt
still deeper spirit of understanding,
general interest and cooperation than
has been possible this year.
