DR.. Smith, SO, a native of Louis

made its president in November
1880, under the administration OF the

last nine years, during which the
enrolment has grown from 1000 to
more than 5000, approximately $13,-
500,0 900 has been spent in construc-
ton work at the university.
In the same speech DR.. Smith
said:
Il am not in politics, but I do
believe in getting along with poll
tician. Get him to help you and
give him credit for it,"
L. S. U. was always close to the
heart of the "Kinghsh" and even
on his deathbed Huey spoke of the
university and the students.

Study Of Opportunities
For Farm Youth Urued

A study Of local opportunities by
teachers and students alike for "im-
proving the conditions of those who
stay on the farms" was advocated
by DR.. Charles H. Judd, director
Of the National Youth Administra-
tion program for out-of- school
youth In an address before the ALI
ance for Guidance Of Rural Youth
yesterday.
This study, he said, should be
supplemented by introduction into
school curricula of "a kind of read
ing matter which has not up to
this time been abundant.
Instead of the trivial fiction
which is all too common in read
ers, there ought to be well-written
and well-illustrated descriptions OF
the industries which are now en-
ploying the people Of this country.
They should let young people
about to migrate from the country
know how much of a struggle they
will encounter when they step into
urban competition" DR.. Judd said
The alliance, bringing together
approximately 200 consultants from
Federal and State agencies to con-
slider the problem of rural youth
migration to the cities, was to con-
clude its three-day session at the
Mayf1OWer Hotel today.

Mystical stoicism Is as much % we
can make Of 1t.
Tranxcendental Mind.
"As much maybe as any Of US
individually ever will make of It,"
thought Krause. But could there
be this greater sort Of mind, this
cooperative mind? How would it
work? Couldn't we somehow know
Of it? 1t would be such a mitiga-
ton. Isn't it after all a sort of
god? ="
"Carstall," he said aloud. THAT

idea escaped him.

things is like shouting to attract
the attention of a star. When we

pause for reflection. "All the

He got a move on things. ="
Carstall considered that for some
moments. Then he expressed the
other side Of his own unsolved per-
plexity. Maybe, he said, "the move
was there anyhow; maybe 1t just
took him."
All Worked for Him.
But Bunny was sand 20 years at
least too young for predestination

over his head unheeded. 1T was

Carstall enunciated his phrases
slowly and carefully, with his hands
behind his head and his eyes among
the clouds.

Krause. He might be debating to
his stenographer. That last bit
might be in capitals And he
poisoned the master dictator like a

And where" reflected Krause,
would he and I and all this free
and lovely life of ours be today If it
hadn't been for the vehemence and
vindictiveness of the Holy Terror?

Wilson's counsel contended that
