UOTVERSITY MISSOUHIAN. i i VOLUME I. F ON ROLLINS FIELD Engineers' Army Routs the Academics, Then Repulses Lawyers' Sortie. M VANQUISHED ARE BOUND Sharp Fight Before Football Game "Aggies" May Enter Contest. The Imck-lop has Mipplantcd the light pole. The pri.e N no longer a flaunting oennant but the right to paint numerals on the athletic field. The combatants are no more Freshman against Sopho more, but Freshman against Freshman, the armies of several departments clash ing in mighty struggles to gain pos sesion of the baseball backstop just be fore the football games. The annual tight for the control of the backstop on the athletic field at the University of Missouri began last Friday night when a band of thirty first-year students in the Department of Arts and Science attempted to hold the backstop during the night to protect their numerals. At 12:15 a. m. Satur day, four companies of Freshman En gineers, twentv-eiglit men to the com- Spany, came marching across the gridiron in military formation and charged the backstop. The fight that ensued was sharp but short. The defenders fought like foot ball Tigers but were soon overpowered. Six of them were liound hand and foot and stretched out in front of the camp fires for several hours, before they were released and permitted to go home. Camera Men There. A large crowd of students assembled on the football field to watch any pos sible scraps. Osmer Edgar, at the head of a group of Savitar camera artists, lined on the ground all night tak ing pictures. The band of 112 Freshman Engineers stayed at the backstop until affer sun 2 rise, while scouts went through town, running down baseless rumors of threatened attacks. A report came that 100 Agricultural students had congre gated at the Horticulture grounds and were preparing to rush the backstop with clubs. Another report was to the effect that the entire law department was planning to come out at 4:30 to annihilate the backstop defenders. Sitting there in the dim starlight, with the smoke from their camp fires curling up. many a Freshman shivered at these reports but all stuck gamely to their posts. Lawyers Try Ruse. Instead of coming out at 4:30 in the morning as they had led the enemy to Iwlievc. the Freshman Law students waited until the end of their 12 o'clock classes and then marched in a body to the backstop. The twenty reserves of the Engineers were soon routed but fresh recruits came pouring in every minute anil for over two hours a sharp fight was waged. Clothes were torn off and heads were bruised. Coach Monilaw finally prevailed upon the combatants to stop lefore the football game with War rensburg Normal was called. The fight for possession of the back stop promises to b unusually severe this year. This is the firt year the Arts and Science students ever at tempted to hold it and now the Agri culturists are talking about entering the fight. The Lawyers are determined to rout the Engineers. TEN DIE, MANY HURT IN TENEMENT EIRE Incendiary Starts Blaze Crowded New York District. in Br United Press. NEW YOKK. Oct. 5. Ten persons were killed, several were fatally and six seriously burned, in a fire started by an incendiary in the Mulberry street tene ment district this morning. The flames had choked the only stair way before discovered and the fire es capes, littered with rubbish, were im passable. Italian inmates became panic stricken and many jumped into the fiaracs. A few escaped by jumping to adjoin ing buildings. A score leaped from up per windows and were badly hurt. RESHMEN WAR THIS KIND OF CORN IS EAGERLY SOUGHT PERFECT EAR OE Best That Can Be Found Will Be Put in Cornerstone of Agricultural Building. Is there a perfect ear of corn in this county If so, and the owner will send it to the Agricultural College of the University of Missouri, at Columbia, it will be her metically sealed in a glass case and put in the copper box that is to be deposited in the cornerstone of the $100,000 Agri cultural Building now being erected on the University campus. The name and address of the grower and any other information that can be furnished in regard to how it was grown, together with a score of this ear by an expert corn judge, will be deposit ed with the ear, so that many- years hence, when this structure may be torn down, the people then living will have an opportunity to see what was at this time conceived to be -a perfect ear of corn, and will know who grew It. The cornerstone will be laid the lat ter part of Octoler, and anyone having an car of corn on hand or finding one in the meantime that shows extra qual ity should send it, not later than Oct. 17, carefully wrapped in paper, by mail or express, to Dean II. J. Waters, of the Agricultural College; with a number marked on the outside of the package and with the name of the owner in a sealed envelope on the inside and a number corresponding to that on the out side of the package. A disinterested committee, consisting of one member of the faculty of the College of Agriculture, one member or officer of the State Board of Agriculture and one member of the State Corn Growers Association, none of whom will be offering corn, will select from all the ears sent the best type. The corn not selected will be put in the Agricultural Museum with the name of the grower or will be returned to him postpaid as he may prefer. THETA NU "NE0S" WEAR STUNNING CREATIONS Houser Becomingly Gowned in Directoire and Huge Merry Widow. The eight men dressed as convicts, merry widows and directoire gown mod els, who paraded the streets Saturday, did not escape from Jefferson City or the asylum at Fulton. They were be ing initialed into the Theta Xu Epsi lon. an inter-fraternity of the University of Missouri. W. C. Houser perhaps was the most becomingly gowned. He wore a direc toire gown of most of the hues of the rainlow and a merry widow hat some what larger than a big umbrella. The "neos," as they are dubbed by the memers of the fcatcrnity, paraded in front of the bleachers at the foot ball game and then took seats in the front row on the south side. The eight initiates are: J. R. Estill and Priest Allie from Phi Delta Theta; W. C. Houser and Paul Arnold from Phi Gamma Delta; Chester Miller from Alpha Tau Omega; Earl Tobein and Ed ward Lasar from Kappa Alpha and J. W. McClure from Zeta Chi. Meetings at Christian Church.

NEWSPAPER WORK AIDED HIM Author Declares it Gave Him Insight Into Character and Human Nature. "Ye-. I have been through the mill, and I think there is no profession in the world that needs special training so much as that of the journalist, or newspaper man. You will find some special eases where the inexperienced or new man will make a glittering or 'yellow' success for a time, but it us ually does not last long, and he is soon down and out the rewards of the future will go to the specially train ed man." So said Augustus Thomas, the play right, who spoke here Friday in the in terest of the Democratic ticket, to a reporter for the University Missourian. The opinion was expressed in answer to the question as to what he thought of the new Department of Journalism of the University of Missouri. Contin uing he said: Greatest Training. "I had seven years experience in the newspaper business, and have been ev erything from reporter to the owner of a paper, and will say that there is not a single successful writer for the Am erican stage today, who has not been trained in the school of the newspaper reporter. It trains in character study and portrayal, and greatest of all, in dialogue." What do you think of the profession of journalism?" he was asked. "I think it is the greatest profession of all to have been in. but I would advise the young man electing the pro fession of journalism, to choose some other profession in addition, for the American standard of success is 'money' and few reporters become millionaires." Thomas as the Villain. Mr. Thomas, who is one of the most successful of modern American play wrights, is a Missouri product. He was born near Springfield, and before he be gan writing for the stage, was a re porter on newspapers in Kansas City and St. Louis. "My first play that was ever produced (Continued on Fourtu Page.) DUG VADIS RAS Members Have Added Greatly to Mileage "Bummed" on Railways. Ten members of the Quo Vadis Club gathered around a table at a down town restaurant Saturday night to par take of a 'possum supper, the first feast of the year which the ''knights of the roadbed" have enjoyed. Several big and luscious 'possums steamed and sizzled on the center of the table and true to the by-laws of the organization nothing eatable was left at the end of the spread. Summer experiences were recounted and by unanimous vote it was agreed that the next session of Congress should force all railroads to burn oil, depriving the brakeman of his favorite missile and adding to the safety of the man who rides the rods. A careful compilation of the summer's travels showed that several thousand miles have been added to the total mileage the club members have "bummed" on railroads. Officers were elected as follows: "Tubby" Graves. Main Prop; Raj- Dun lap. Assistant Main Prop; A. II. Kis kaddon. Chief Ink Squirter; O. Dimples Chrisman, Stake Holder; Dan Xee, Head Bouncer. Thoe present were: James Terrill, Dan Xee. O. D. Chrisman, A. II. Kis kaddon. O. Sam Scott. D. V. Oraves, Thomas Powell. Ray Dunlap, Frank Jackson and W. H. Thomas. David W. Hill Speaks. David W. Hill, former speaker of the House of Representatives, now a candi date for the republican nomination for the United States Senate, delivered a political address Saturday evening at the Courthouse. M SPREAD HONORED Iff "ALL- H "Tubby" is Chosen President, F. I. Roth, Engineer, Vice-President. MISS HOWAT IS SECRETARY Freshmen Who Try to Vote by Mistake Supply Fun for Evening. D. V. ("Tubby") Graves, crack foot ballist, was elected "all-senior" presi dent by acclamation at a meeting in the auditorium of the University of Mis souri last Friday night. His name was placed in nomination by W. W. Wright and no other name was proposed. Graves is a Senior in the College of Arts and Science and a Sophomore in the Department of Medicine. His elec tion shows that his popularity is not confined to the gridiron. F. 1. Roth was chosen by acclamation to the olfice of vice-president. He is a Senior Engineer. Miss Howat Honored. Miss Lela Howat, a Senior in the Teachers College, was elected secre tary, Miss Sue Stone being her only op ponent Miss Howat is a leader among the "co-eds." W. C. Mayfield was chosen by ac clamation as treasurer. He is a Senior lawyer. S. R. Freet, a Senior lawyer, was elected Sergeant-at-Arms. Two Freshmen wandered in during the contest for Sergeant-at-Arms, think ing they were at the mass meeting. One of the Seniors told them to be sure and vote for the next name proposed, so when Latshaw's name was offered as Sergeant-at-Arms they both stood up nervously fingering the bright red caps, which betraved them to all tb-se pres ent. W- Freshman's Dilemma. "Sit down, Freshmen," bellowed the opponents of Latshaw, while the clenched fists of his supporters threat ened them if they dared to sit before the vote was taken. One Freshman sat down and tried to make the other do likewise, wTiile the one standing tried to drag the one sitting to his feet. Finally a Senior went to them and pointed impressively at the door. The laughter which their hasty retreat caued sufficed in place of a motion for adjournment. Yom Kippur, the Dav of Atonement, Observed With Fasting and Prayer. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, most sacred of all Jewish holidays, is being observed today throughout the civilized world, wherever there is a Jew ish family. On this day all work or play is laid aside by the Jews and the time is given over to prayer and devotion, ser vices leing held throughout the day. All Orthodox Jews fast, in order to keep alive the ancient custom of fasting on sacred days. The Day of Atonement is a time speci ally appointed for the cleansing of the heart, and for spiritual purification. Yom Kippur is being observed by the Jewish people of Columbia and by the Jewish students of the University. Ser vices are held at one of the Jewish homes of Columbia. Jewish business houses are closed today and Jewish students are not attending classes. RAINDROPS VANQUISHED BY SUNBEAMS IN SKY FOOTBALL CONTESTS Defeated Players May Turn Tables, However, Coach Reeder Thinks. The football games of the last few days between the sunbeams and rain drops have resulted in overwhelming victories for the sunbeams. In the next encounter, however, the raindrops are expected to score a touchdown. The tip was given out by Coach Reeder as fol lows: "Showers tonight or Tuesday; wanner to-night." SENIORS WIH HOLIDAY BEING OBSERVED STAR GROUND-GAINER FOR TIGERS SATURDAY J. R. Bluck. a E" Miss Houts, Who Helped Elect Him, Undisturbed by His Marriage. JOPLIX, Mo., Oct. r. If Miss Jessie Houts, who quit teaching school to help elect "Rube" Oglesby railroad com missioner, is sulFering any heartache over his marriage in Kansas City to an other girl, not even her closest friends here know it. Miss Houts was teaching school this morning as though nothing had happened to her serenity. When questioned as to whether she and Oglesby had been engaged tb marry, Miss Houts begged to be excused from making any statement. She observed that Miss Mary Shouse of Wrarrensburg, Oglesby's bride, "is a very, vcrv nice girl." Miss Houts resigned as a teacher in Warrensburg four years ago to send out "campaign" letters and circulars for Oglesby, and he won the nomination. M. Rubey Oglesby and Miss Shouse were married in Kansas City last Thurs day evening at the home of Mrs. W. W. Johnson of 3228 East Seventh street, the bride's sister. FOREIGN STUDENTS WELCOMED TO M. U. Dozen Nations Represented at Meeting of Cosmopolitan Club. The meeting of the Cosmopolitan Club of the University of Missouri Fri day night in fhe women's parlors of Academic Hall was unique among Uni versity gatherings. Each group of the dozen nationalities represented in the University stood lieneath their respect ive national insignia and extended the hand of greeting to their fellow stu dents. Dr. Carl C. Eckhardt, a faculty mem ber and president of the club, spoke on the cosmopolitan movement. After giving a brief history of the movement, he concluded by saying: "We Americans here need this cosmo politan spirit if we expect to learn the customs, viewpoints and characteristics of other nationalities. We like to meet the foreign students here. They come with a purpose and it takes some grit for a young man to go far away from home to get an education." Before the close of the meeting. Pres ident Eckhardt stood beneath the two rows of national Hags in the room and held !efore the audience a Targe engrav ing of the Christ of the Andes, a statue erected on the lnnindary line between Chili and the Argentine Republic after the peaceful settlement of teh territory disputes letween the two nations. The scene was impressive, as Dr. Eck hardt spoke on the value of peace and the settlement of international disputes by arbitration. He closed his remarks by saying he would let this engraving take his place in the club, as he has been advised by his physician to leave the University and rest for at least a vear. HEARTACHE RU LS NUMBER 16 NORMALS EATEN ALIVE BY TIGERS; E, 5 TO 6 Attorney-General Hadley and 2000 Others See the First Game of Football Season on Rollins Field. DRIVERS' PLAYING FEATURE MILLER IS NORMALS' STAR Forward Pass is Fumbled and Opponents Score on Fluke. In the presence of Attorney General Hadley and about 2,000 other enthusi astic spectators, Coach Monilaw's foot ball team swamped the Warrensburg Xormals Saturday afternoon by a score of 57 to C. Xcver was there any doubt as to the result of the game, although occasion ally there was difference of opinion among the onlookers as to the exact size of the score. The game was what it was expected to be a good stiff work-out for the Tigers a thing which they most need in the formative pe riod. The weather was ideal, and only the Freshman Engineers were in an unhap py mood (because for the first time in many moons the backstop sign had been daubed and smattered over with red paint) when, at exactly 4 p. m.. Miller kicked off for the Xormals to the Mis souri 45 yard line. Game in Detail. Bluck started himself and the ball rolling around left end for an .eight yard gain. He took three more for first down. "Easy" added seven on rigit end, Gilchrist contributed two more, and Xee put seven to his credit through cen ter. The procession down the field by "Easy," Barnes, Alexander, Xee, Gil christ, et al., was uninterrupted, until, after three minutes "play, "Easy" strode over the line for the first touchdown. Bluck kicked an easy goal score, C to 0. Warrensburg kicked oft again, and Alexander returned fifteen yards. On the first down, Alexander, Graves and Xee worked a pretty, but somewhat be wildering double pass for a touchdown. Xee carrying the ball over after a run of fifty yards with the aid of Driver's splendid interference. Score 12 to 0. after Bluck kicked over the goal. Forward Pass Again. Bluck kicked off and the Teachers re turned ten yards to the 40-yard line. They were forced to punt and on two attempts got the ball to the 25-yard line. A forward pass netted Missouri ten yards here, and 'Tuny" then wad dled through center for the rest of the way, but missed his goal. Score, 17 to 0. Bluck again kicked olf only twenty yards, however. The Xormals lost twice on Gilchrist's end, then punted to Deatherage. who returned twelve yards. to Warrensburg's 40 yard line. Missouri was penalized fifteen yards, for hurdling. Deatherage cleared three yards on an end run. "Easy's" kick was blocked and recovered by Warrensburg on Mis souri's thirty-live yard line. On two downs, the Xormals made two yards and attempted a forward pass (Ontlniieil on Fourth Pace.) AS YELL LEADER Students in Mass Meeting Elect Raymond E. Lee School Chairman. A mass meeting of the University stu dents held in the University auditorium Friday night to elect officers and arouse enthusiasm to boost the tigers, resulted in the election of Raymond E. Lee for sehool chairman, and Oscar D. Chris man for yell leader for the coming year. II. A. Henley and W. C. Mayfield were chosen as Chrisman's assistants. While t)ie crowd was gathered the students indulged in disorganized but enthusiastic cheering, in which the need for a yell leader was apparent. After music by the cadet band the meeting was called to order. Speeches were made by R. A. Smith, Merrill Otis, Capt. E. L. Miller and R. J. Bluck. SM H rt aflfc-j.'- sifi& tSt-. v

Athletics plays an important part in American Universities. Its never failing popularity with both students and teach ers generally, and its long established eare-er indicates that it commands a necessary place in the University cur riculum. Inborn in every human being is a cer tain sportive spirit that must be satisfied in actual w ell-balanced living, and the University, to have a well-balanced course should not only permit but en courage athletics. The value of athletics lies not so much in athletics but in the spirit cre ated. Xor is this all: A creat cood of athletics lies in its power to cement closer together institutions of learning. Enthusiasm is aroused and a spirit of loyalty created that is commendable to the institution supporting athletics. Take for instance any football game played by the Missouri team. It would be an extraordinary thing if there were less than fifteen hundred people on the bleachers, and these nearly all Univer sity people; half of the entire University student ImkIv. In the leading game of the year, the number of University stu dents that would stay away, would be too small to count on your fingers. And if someone would say he didn't care to attend there would be this quick protest "Well, you haven't much college spirit." Athletics add spice to the drudgery of study. It is to the University what the safety valve is to the engine. It also might be more finely compared to the governor of the engine. The old saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," has been proved true many times over, and it might be well said that well regulated athletics help to make Jack the bright bov. GOOD HUMOR IN POLITICS. Ever- present good humor has come to be one of the principal assets in modern politics. If one sees a man in a hotel lobby, on the streets, or in any other public place, shaking hands, and laugh ing and talking with innumerable per sons whom he meets, he is usually put down as either a traveling salesman or a politician. This same jovial humor will do more to make a favorable im pression on strangers than any amount of serious talking. A jolly man, with real humor, carries his hearers along with him; gets them in a happy mood, and makes a good impression. Mr. Taft, the Republican nominee for President, has been photographed often as all presidential possibilities are, and the majority of his photographs show him with a smile and general express ion of good humor. This good nature has been spoken of and pictured nearly as extensively as the "de-elighted" of President Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan, the Democratic nominee, also is noted for his good humor. All of his campaign trips are characterized by good humor and his friendliness. This trait in Mr. Bryan has done much towards increas ing his popularity; though it has been the subject for many outlandish carica tures. A happy nature helps and those who successfully cultivate this trait will have a large following of friends and ad mirers, rolitieians liave been quicK to reeeignize this fact. FASHIONS A MOXG England's royalty has the Merry Widow hat not been able to claim a conquest. The moun tainous creation, which in every other country of the world has had the effect of completely winning the' millinery af fections of the gentler sex, fell fiat in King Edward's realm. It never had a chance in fact, for just as King Edward sets the fashion in men's clothe-", so it is mainly to Queen Alex andria that loyal ladies of the realm look for suggestions as to that which shall 1h called style. If there is one thing more than an other which the keen-witted and clear willed queen detests it is great dimen sions in a hat. Since the time when she became the young girl sweetheart of the then Prince of Wales, and came to Creat Britain from Denmark to be his bride. Alexan dra has always contended that excessive breadth and width in a hat was a sign that the wearer laeked the well shaped face and the kind of hair that would stand close inspection. A big hat was donned to hide defects. But for the woman with good outlines and an ample allowance of a woman's crowning glory, the hat could not be too small. Tt was too big when it attracted attention instead of permitting that to be centered on the cliarms of nature rather than on the confection of the milliner. VIEWPOINT OF THE STUDENTS (The University Missourian Invites communi cations from students touching on question! of general Interest in the University. Letters are limited to 200 words. Address The University Missourian. or drop communication In box In Academic nail corridor.) CHOLERA DREAD DISEASE. Cholera has stricken St. Petersburg. Daily in the Russian capital are two or three hundred dead. On Sept. 10, when eholera was discovered there, fif teen eases were reported and on Sept. l."5, 3!1S eases were registered. Since then the plague has swept the city with a terrible vengeance for its unsanitary conditions and its unprogressiveness. Hospitals cannot 1k enlarged fast enough. Men are dying in the streets. Public prayers have been offered and the sale of liquor has been prohibited. Xot St. Petersburg alone, but other dis tricts of Russia, have lccn affected. But what concerns Americans more is that cholera has spread to the Philip pines. Manila reported fifty-eight new victims Sept. 20 and nineteen deaths, three of which were of Americans. The condition of sanitation in the Philip pines makes a terrible rate of contagion to be feared. The Oriental fatalism of the natives, combined with their lazi ness and low standard of living, makes the dicasp diilicult to combat. In the epidemic of 1903 in the Philippines filthy market places were cleaned up, pigs were kept off the streets and out of the houses and food regulations w'cre intro duced. Probably the laws have Womc lax because the curse is again upon them. Cholera is not in the strictest sense a contagious disease. Water is the principal source of infection, therefore, pure water is the first requisite for the prevention of the spread of the dis ease. 'The peculiarity of the disease is the rapidity with which it spreads and accomplishes its deadly woik. The time of incubation is from three to five days and death comes sometimes within twenty-four hours after the individual is stricken. The death rate is from fifteen to ninety per cent. The disease cannot progress farther than a person can travel during the period of incu bation. An early burial is essential and the greatest precautions are neces sary in destroying infectious matter. Cholera appeared in Russia in 1S30. Europe's first experience. Since then there have been epidemics in Germany, England. Russia and the United States. During the year of the Chicago World's Fair a cholera scare made President Harrison order a quarantine for part of Xew York. Dr. Robert Koeli, of Ger many, discovered the specific cholera germ in 1884, but the discovery seems to have aided little in the treatment. THE WOMAN YET TO COME. The woman of the future will approach men's ideal. It has been true in the past and will always be. Whether the ideal or the woman precedes is another question. Some men arc expecting the woman of the future to be an idler, a toy, a sweet nothing. Surely tins is a nar row view of her unfolding. Will rude men be content to ive up the com panionship of the fair sex and seek en tertainment in the club alone? Will he cease to invite her to accompany him to the tennis court and hill top? We think not. If he should, perhaps, she will become content to go to such places in the company of her sisters. The freedom enjoyed by the present- day girl will not be given up without a struggle. She may become more prac tical, may acquire greater knowledge of the care of the home but she will never spend day after day in idleness. Such a vocation would take the glow of health from the cheek and the cherry from her lips. Common sense will not permit it. The woman of the future will have all the good qualities she possesses today and more. Her sphere will be en larged as time goes on. She will be athletic, fond of outdoors, skilled in music, cultivated in mind, a keeper of the home and a lover of virtue. She will be everything good but with enough faults to make her a suitable associ ate for man. IN THE SHADE OF IONIC COLUMNS "Red" Wilson, a former student, is visiting in Columbia. IL A.

This was forty years ago, and though many variations of hats have come to be worshiped in the interval, she has steadfastly remained loyal to her favor ite style. Others might follow strange gods and worship at unsightly millinery pedestals, but England's queen never wavered. It is the toque always and perpetually for the consort of King Edward. This toque, to deal somewhat llippant ly with a royal article of wearing ap parel, resembles a sort of little sugar scoop, worn upside down, the shovel portion fitting closely to the head. In its front tulle and flowers arc inserted. From Queen Alexandra's partiality has developed what can be termed a dis tinctive style. When a customer goes to the shops of one ot tlie milliners, who are lucky to have the patronage of the elect, and says "I want a royal toque," there is never any need of any further specifications in placing '"ic order. The commission is as conipUv v- understood as thought a dia gram had leen drawn, and the hat is duly delivered in short time. Usually, lace and flowers have been the queen's preferred decorations for her favorite kind of bonnet. The shape makes any great amount of decoration unnecessary. Once in a while in the past she has departed from her custom in this respect, and indulged in the lux ury of birds wings. But that will not be in the future, for Alexandra has become ardently in sym pathy with those who are trying to pre vent the wanton slaughter of birds, merely for the purpose of using the wings as decorations for iiats. In the future no bird's wings will ever le seen on a hat worn by England's Queen. She has annouced this herself, and has moreover been taking an active part in the enactment of measures designed to prevent the practice. There is a great deal of affection in England for the queen's toque. The populace have come to know it and love it, and they regard it as an essential part of the costume of their beautiful queen. It has dealt kindly with her majesty in another espeet, for it seems to veil carefully the flight of time. Some garish hats, when worn by wo men past the summer of life, have tin effect in their garish colors and shapes of having the wearer appear old and ghastly, the painful effort of an elderly person to look young. But the queen's dainty toque enhances her lieauty and makes her look younger. Perhaps this explains her loyalty to it. On Methods of Teaching. To the Kdltor of the University Missourian: Is the lecture method of class-room instruction a success? In some cases, yes; in others, no. Subjects based upon judgments, as stock-breeding; subjects founded upon experience, as, pedagogy or journalism; or subjects growing out of original research, as, experimental engineering, would seem to be fit sub jects for lecture. But how about mathematical science subjects composed, in a large measure, of mathematical formulae which the student must not only know how to use but also how- to derive. subjects based upon exact conventional definitions? Xo one argues, either from the standpoint of experience or good judgment, that sitrx-f eosxl neither does he present the fact as the result of original re search. He merely proves it. Can one satisfactorily follow a proof and at the same time be engaged in the mechanical process of transcribing it? Ask this in connection with the more involved subjects of the engineering course. If the substance is to be pre sented is printed and and in the hand of the student, he can then concentrate his attention on the proof itself, not on copy work. He is in a position to ask pertinent questions if such are per mitted. Re-reading lecture notes can never explain contradictions produced by mistakes in transcription mistakes which could not have occurred in an in telligent following of the discourse. Usually the subject matter presented cannot he lound in lorm tlesiretl m books. Does this warrant the substi tution of lectures, however superior in order of presentation, etc., for the printed sheet, which cannot mislead, although it may be difficult to compre hend? Would not explanation by the instructor of some previously printed or copied notes be preferable to attempt ing original presentation and explana tion simultaneously? Eng. '10. SOCIAL WORKERS GET UNIVERSITY CREDITS School of Philanthropy in St. Louis Opens With Best Prospects in Its History Dean Davis Delivers Address.

This j ear sixteen hours work for two semes ters and most of it will lie accredited towards an A. B. degree at the Univer sity of Missouri. Heretofore the session consisted of four months' work with limited courses. The school last year had an enroll ment of fiftv-seven and this year, with increased courses and a lengthened ses sion, in addition to the fact that the University has decided to give almost full eredit for work done in the school, it should have a large enrollment, ac cording to Dr. Charles A.

To the Editor of the University Missourian: The implied charge in a communica tion in the Viewpoint column yesterday, that the promotion of Merrill Otis to second lieutenant of the cadet corps was not deserved, is, to say the least, un warranted. Mr. Otis is a popular and brilliant student, but his friends will not believe that was the reason for his ad vancement. He is known as an efficient officer and has devoted his best ener gies to the betterment of the Military Department. Xo more deserved promo tion has been made here. Your cor respondent evidently is not what he signs himself '"Disinterested." FATR PLAY. Philanthropy is also a new addition to- ology at the University of Missouri, the faculty of the Department of Soct- Dr. Mangold was formerly in the employ of the Government Bureau of Labor where he was engaged in research work on the conditions of labor for women and children. Prior to that he was an instructor in Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. The St. Louis School of Philanthropy is one of four similar institutions in the United States. The Xew York school is affiliated with Columbia University, the Boston school with Harvard and the. Chicago school with the University of Illinois. The St. Louis school receives from the Sage Foundation fund a grant of $7,500 a year. Many Receive Fellowships. From the money received through the Sage Foundation Fund, several research fellowships have been established in con nection with the school. The latest fel lowships to be awarded are as follows: W. T. Cross, A. B., '08, at the Uni versity of Missouri, $500; Miss Ecel Hays, A. B., '07, A. M., '08, at the University of Missouri, $.'i00; Miss Ra chel Edwards, A.

"Charles Dickens and Maria Bead- nell: Private Correspondence." It con- si-ts of letter- written by Dickens to his first love, Maria Beadnell, said to be the original of Dora of "David Copper field" and Flora of "Little Dorrit." Tin book is edited by Prof. Oeorge Pierce Maker of Harvaul. and the. original let ters belomr to W. K. Bi.xbv of St. Louis. whose generosity in allowing the soeiety u-c of his unpublished manuscripts ha done much to give its publications a per manent interest. "David Cbpperfield' was. as is well known, largely autobiographical: and Forster in his "Life of Dickens" print a long extract from a letter written to him by Dickens in 1855, telling of the intensity of his early passion. Jttit Fos ter does not gie the name of the young woman, and it is not certain that he knew it. sjiys the reviewer of this suinp tuoiis loluuie in the Xation.

Dick ens was introduced to the family by his friend Henry Kolle. who married Anne Beadnell in -May. 1833. shortly after the first five of the letters here printed were written. These- five letters are appar ently the ending of a happy intercourse of onie months. In the first eif them, elated only '"March 18," Diekens eleclares that their recent meetings have leen "little more than so many displays of heartless indifference-" on her part, and he returns to her some preent which he says, "I hae always prized, as I still do, far beyond anything I ever possessed." Tho original of this letter was returned to Dickens, and it is printed from a copy retaineel by Mis Hcadnell. The Mirror. ABOUT SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM T HE regular session of the University of Missouri began Monday, and th University Missourian," the daily newspaper publisheel by the school of journalism appeared for the first time. The paper is of the same size as the Republican, though the type used is smaller. It is a splendid paper, filled with Columbia news, with university news, telegraphic news from the United Press, and many columns of "features." While the work on the paper is done by students of the school of journalism, the "Missourian" is issued under the di rection of an active St. Louis newspaper man, who was selected because of his ability as news hustler and writer. The Missourian will be published every school day, and is sure to be a model for other schools of journalism which must take up practical ideas if they are to amount to anything. Maryville (Mo.)

Columbia Daily Tribune said in its issue of September 1 "The College of Journalism, which will open with other regular ele partments of the.

The old theory lias been that the only place where a young man could learn to be a journalist is in the office of a news paper, and it must be admitted that the rough knocks of the average print shop are the things that have produced very many of the best newspaper men the country affords. At the same time there are very few new-paper workers who will There is no question but this elcpart nient will proe in the years to come a, source of relief to a long suffering pub lic, as well as a source of great benefit to those entering the publishing business who avail themselves of the instruction given. Wendell Phillips says, "Xot one man in ten reads books But every one of us except the very few helpless poor, poisons himself every day with a newspaper. Let me make the newspapers, and I care not who makes the religion or the laws." Perhaps Mx. Phillips puts the case a trifle too strong, but in our opinion the school of journalism will prove of more benefit to the men, women and children than the department of law or medi cine.

She sign ed the article and informs us that she read over her notice to Miss Barrymore at the conclusion of the interview and that Miss Barrymore assented to the statements contained in the article. Un der these circumstances we must as sume that Miss Barrymore was correctly quoted. The history of the l:oue antedates Dr. Duncan's time, however. It extends back to 1820. when the house was built by Joseph Howard, at that time a mer chant of Columbia. Owner Was Architect. In those days architects were few in the West, and the house was designed bj' Mr. Howard and erected by Jim Ritchison, a carpenter. The bricks were made near Columbia, and the great logs were taken from a nearby forest. Mr. Howard Iied there for twentv- five years, when it was occupied by Caleb Stone, an old settler, until it was bought by Dr. Duncan. Since then it has been in the hands of Dr. Duncan's heirs until recently. The only two of his descendants now living in Columbia are his grandchildren, Mrs. S. A. Smoke and Miss Margaret Trimble, who reside near the old house at 202 South Ninth street. The last occupants of the house, the Woman's Handicraft Exchange, moved into it because of the appropriate and artistic surroundings the house afforded their hand-woven rugs, and Colonial china.

Authentic in timation as to President Roosevelt's hunt in East Africa was given to the public recently. The arrangements are far from complete, but in the essential features the President has fixed ideas. All the reports about Seth Bullock. Kill Sewall and other mighty guides and hunters having been invited to ac company the President and his son are moonshine. In the first place, the Presi dent is not intending to make the hunt an armed expedition into the dark con tinent for the extinction of big game, fn the second place, the men mentioned know no more about hunting in Africa than the President does, and the hunt is not to be a distinctly social feature. Third, the most important of all, no body other than the hunt functionaries is to join the President on the otner side. Should any titled personage be loafing around they will be there with out invitation from him. Mr. Roosevelt and his son Kermit and one taxidermist and one naturalist from the National Museum will be the only Americans in the party. Just how large a following of natives will be nec essary the President himself does not yet know, lie is getting adtiee on the subject. It will not be larger than nec essary.

"Dave" Ball, the speaker declared, has charged that he had been robbed of a well-earned nom ination by the election thieves of St. Louis and Kansas City. Mr. Iladley said that if this is true it would nec essarily follow that Mr. Cowherd was the beneficiary of that robbery and that he stood before the people charged by his principal opponent with being the possessor of a stolen nomination. Mr. Iladley spoke in high terms of Governor Folk, praising him for the aluable service that he had rendered the people in ridding the state of many of its lawless character?. Referring to the saloon question, Mr. Iladley said that he was for the en forcement of the laws legulating dram shops.
