! Stephens college, a Baptist school in
central Missouri, and its president,
James NJ. Wood, has outlined in an
interview in the Kansas City Star the
plans which its new $4,000 dean, Wer-
rett w. Charters, is expected to be able
successfully to work out
Like most other American colleges,
Stephens now receives its students at
an average age of Is years, after they
have had eight years of elementary and
four years of high school training. 1t
is now proposed that the college shall
add its influence to a movement to
eliminate two years of the elementary
course, terminating it at the psychology
ical crisis of adolescence and bringing
the student to the college at the age of
l6. The application of the plan has
been the subject of special study by
Prof. Charles H. Judd, head of the de-
partment of education Of the Unver-
sity of Chicago, and he is to cooperate
with Dean Charters in introducing it at
Stephens.
1t is now agreed by many American
educators that the average American
youth who attends college is two years
belated in entering, and Or. Eliot par
ticularly has urged that the college
course should be completed at an ear
lier age than now. The proposed change
would be in conformity with general
European practice. A practical argu-
ment advanced by President Wood is
that at the earlier age of entering
many more youths would be willing to
undertake at least the beginning of a
college course. The theory of the new
plan of course embraces the belief that
boys and girls now in the last two
years of their high school course could
with equal grasp undertake some
courses of college standard That many
students find the present high school
course quite hard enough does not nee
essarily mean that they would find it
any harder if in some respects it were
more advanced" The practical prob,
lem is one of Encouragement and elm
instion.
Stephens college, which has already
demonstrated the strength of its faith
by its works, seems pretty sure to be-
come an educational experiment sta
tion whose experiences will be followed
with keen interest throughout the
country.-Springfield Republican.

Mince Meat and Its Value as Food.

| When the home manager of to-day
can serve such a completely balanced
food as mincemeat, it should appear
more frequently in her menus. The
| average person is so fond of mince pie
| that the season for serving it should
not be limited to just one or two
months; instead, there should always
be one or two packages found on the
pantry shelf to serve for cool DAYS.
A piece of mince pie, with its pro-
| TEN, carbohydrates, fat, mineral salts
and moisture, is a full, balanced meal
iii itself, says Prescott Adams of Ar
mour & Co. Many housewives prefer
to serve it for the evening meal, after
a hearty MONDAY dinner, serving just
the mince pie and beverage such as
coffee, boullion or grape juice.
To prepare mincemeat at home takes
considerable time. Aside from prepar-
ing the meat, apples and seasonings,
the cooling and canning necessitates
much care and accuracy. The com
mercially prepared mincemeat is so
delicious that it seems to be needless
waste of time to attempt preparing it
at home

apples pared and cored, eurrants Of
highest grade, carefully washed,
stemmed and seeded raisins Sweet
apple cider, spices and pure cane sugar
are all combined according to formula
to give the very best flavor What
our grandmothers did by hand is now
done in factories with up.to-date ma
chinery and the utmost care, and the
finished product is excellent
Aside from the saving of time for
the housewife, the producer takes the
responsibility of selecting the mate
rails, combining them SO as to secure
the best flavor, and then guarantees
the quality of the product under the
label
There are also many ways besides in
pies that mineemeat may be used, as
follows; Mince pie, mince meat ris-
soles, mincemeat tartlets, mincemeat
fritters, mincemeat turnoyers, brown
bread and mincemeat sandwiches,

Agan Is Progressive.

On Saturday morning last The Trib
une received dispatch from Frank W
Agan, who has been in the far West
for several weeks, announcing that he
had decided to enter the race for the
governorship and planned to be at
home early in April.
Mr.. Agans decision makes him the
fourth Republican candidate for the
gubernatorial succession and furnishes
Ludlow people with a special interest
in the outcome of the campaign which
has recently been launched in SO def
mite fashion.
The Tribune has had no indication
from Mr.. Agan as yet regarding the
makeup of the platform on which he
purposes tb stand in this four -cornered
contest, His declaration is due later.
II is an easy guess, however, from
knowledge of his business ability, his
active interest in state affairs, and his
personal energy, that he will declare
for, and pledge himself to, an economi-
cal and business like administration
and have little patience for anything
that he thinks does not spell progress
for the state at large.
The Ludlow candidate has seen serv
ice in the legislature and has been 9TH
crwise alert in political circles, and
many of his friends in different sec
tions of the state have been urging him
to throw his hat into the ring II is
there now, and he can be depended on
to make an energetic campaign. On
his return East, and possibly before,
the voters of the state will be made
acquainted with his platform.-Ludlow
Tribune.

Mr.. Hoover's Statement.

MIR Hoovers admirable letter to
Ralph Arnold recalls the remark of
President Wilson in a previous cam
paign that ''the office goes to the man
who thinks least about it, While Mr..
Hoover is not unaware of the efforts
of men to bring about his nomination
for the presidency, he says that ito 90
out and try to persuade the public to
call me is opposed to my every in
stnet.' He was progressive Repub
lican before the war, non partisan
during the war and is now an indepcnd-
ent progressive, objecting to the re-
dictionary group in the Republican
party just as much as to the radical
group in the Democratic party.
He is interested in issues Just now
and not in men. He believes in party
organization so long as its purpose is
primarily to secure the adoption of
policies rather than to promote the
FORTUNES of individuals. He insists that
he is mot straddler on any issue
Those who have read his previous
speeches and letters had discovered this
fact long ago.
The letter is refreshing because it
exhibits an attitude of mind which the
voter looking for leader in these per
picking days can respect. Mr.. Hoover
is not saying that he must run for the
presidency because there is no one else
capable of doing the things that should
be done He is saying in effect that
we should agree on the things which
ought to be done and then select the
best man to do them. His latest ut
teranee will bring him to the favor
