this is the ranking school Of journalism.
"Missourians," he said. do not real
ize what a great school Missouri Uni
versity is"
Speaking Of Middle Western schools
DIR. Powell said that the schools OF this
section were working more efficiently at
the solution Of educational problems than
the schools in the extreme East. They
are more free and are not hampered by
prejudice and politics. The state uni
versities are more important and do not
have to compete for public favor with
such old established institutions as Har-
ward, Yale and others.
Il believe" said DIR. Powell, that in
the Middle West here, they are really
translating academic study into service"

STATE LEADS IN JUNIOR
COLLEGE, SAYS POWELL
Educational Director of COsmopoii-
tan Says Missourians Don't
Appreciate University.

The state Of Missouri leads in tn
junior college movement in the unite'
States" said DR.. Lyman P. Powell, edu
cational director of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine, who was in Columbia yester
day investigating Stephens and Christian
colleges. Doctor Powell is probably bet
ter in touch with college affairs in this
country than any other man. For sew
eral years past he has been travelling
over the country visiting different col
leges and making an intensive study oi
their problems.
Il consider that a grea, deal Of the
credit for the success of junior colleges
in Missouri should go to the Univer'
sity," said Doctor Powell. The Uni
versity has been a step-father to all Of
them. They have been stronger be-
cause they knew that the University was
back of them.
In Missouri there are fifteen or six
teen junior colleges. This is very
good showing, as there are only about
100 in the country"
The new educational department Of
the Cosmopolitan Magazine is the first
of its kind. Ii was established last Feb
ruary with Doctor Powell at its head.
The department aims TO be a clearing
house for educational ideas in Ameri-
ca. 1t issues monthly bulletin which
is sent free TO all schools. Men are
to investigate schools and col
leges. Aside from this, it maintains a
reception room in New York City where
persons interested in education may
gather. Beginning with the August num-
Der Of Cosmopolitan, the department will
conduct a section Of the magazine which
will deal with school matters.
Il believe that the University of Mis-
souri, is one of the great universities Of
the country" said Doctor Powell in
answer to "a question Of how Middle
West schools compared with those Of
the East. Il am a Johns Hopkins Uni
versity man myself, but | believe, and
have always heard, that Missouri ranks
among the first six in medicine. When
Talcott Williams became head of the
school Of journalism in Columbia Uni
Versity, he came to Missouri to study
