| FINAL INSTALLMENT OF A S0J0URN TO The
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI. DURING
JOURNALISM week

e The final installment on the so
I 1ourn to the great University OF Mis-
souri will not be ais wild as the sub
iect would Indicate. AS to what we
shall have to say about women IL
will be along the lines referred to up
Ion our return from the Press Asso-
ciation Meet at Greenwood. The
lwork that women are doing isacon-
%stant revelation. In the School OF
u journalism over 100 girls were TAX
ing studies in Journalism, and these
VsQirls that are being turned ont by
i this school are making good. Journ-
alism is a splendid field for women.
1 1t is work that they can do
we'll There are phases OF the work
that only women can 40. We met
girls who are running country week
lies in Missouri, and running them
successfully. One of these young Ia
flies has sent n copy OF her paper
aimee we returned; q paper OF sixteen
pages, well got up, and completely
filled with advertising and interest
ING reading matter. There are very
f.Aw women in this work in Missis-
Sippi, and it is splendid opening for
eollege girls, who are wondering
what to do. The interest that the
rirls in the School of Journalism
show i'm their work, and the success
ga onnln1ntinn nf
their studies is enough to recommend
the work and school to the girl who
has an aptitudefor thatsor ofthing,
and desires to follow it.
Among the functions In a social
way that added much to Journalism
Week was a luncheon given by the
LCommercial Club at the Boone Tay-
n ern to Journalism Week visitors.
Exs The girls OF Christian and Stephens
Colleges furnished most of the enter
tainment. which was devoted To-
I songs. The girls were much fixed up
for the occasion and had learned
some especially written songs. The
two colleges Wed with each other in
their music, and both choruses did
mighty well. So
There is a Round Table club in Co
lumbia made up of about fifty MEM
bers. There is a lawyer, two doctors,
ID few merchants, farmers, an under
taker, an ice and coal dealer, and a
few college professors. Whenever
any guests visit the city worthy OF
note the Round Table meets with
them at the Tavern for dinner. In
n The middle OF very large round Ia
Bile lies q book. II is the Golden
Book, and every guest must therein
sign his name. Dean Williams saw
the Golden Book at Venice when he
was abroad. Every guest OF the city
from ancient times was supposed to
sign his name In the treasured book
s. of old Venice. The book made for
1 the purpose in the Round Table CLUB
is a replica of the Golden Book OF
Venice. We had the rare pleasure OF
being invited, with few Others. TO
! q Round Table luncheon. The after
dinner speeches were made sitting
which made it very comfortable Tor
the guests who were, of course, call
ed upon.
Except for several receptions, teas
and dances. and breakfast to which
we were invited with Mr.. Hanson,
Literary editor of the Chicago Daily
News, by eight of the girls In the
school, our social functions were not
featured. There was one breakfast
at a Mr.. Gordon's. a beautiful home,
built on southern lines, with q large
porch and white columns. There
were twenty-five of us invited, ana
the spread was made mp principally
~ fried chicken and straw berries.
Berries were Just coming in there. 1t
occurred to us that we had been Ioi-
lowing them for three months. we
had them In Florida, and when we
got home they were ripening and we
found them just coming In In Mis-
souri,. Mr.. Gordon was so lavish
with his entertainment asked what
ne did for a living. ] was told that
he was farmer. Everything we
had for breakfast from the boiled
ham to the desert was grown at
home.
Missouri has been pretty well filed
tup with Germans. They had good
soil there to begin with, and the peo-
pie who built up the country were
hard-working, persevering. They
worked from sunrise to sunset, and
were frugal to the last notch. They
raised everything they needed on the
farm at home, and of course they
have prospered. The president Of
