I!i"l‘ERES'I’ IE VOCATIONAL - WORK What the University Will be in Aiding t e lfoveltent. There is evidence of a great awak- ening in introducing the vocational element into the public schools of Missouri. Two years ago Congress enacted a law which grants to the si.ates.large sums of money with which to promote vocational education on condition" that the states appropriate a like sum. Missouri's share of federal moneys for the biennial period, 1919-1920 is $205.- 820. The last legislature appropriat- ed a.like sum with which the State Board of Education can match the federal money. and proceed as «plans approved by the Federal ‘Board spend the $411,640 in promoting in connection ‘with the public high schools of the state the teaching of trades and industries. of agriculture and of honieeconomics. This may be done in day schools. in evening schools and in part-time schools. Arrangements have been made with forty high schools to use about $50,000 of state and federal money the com ing year in paying part of the'sala- 8 rlculture in these high schools. Thirty-three high schools will use $13,500 of state and federal moneys in paign half of the salaries of teachers of vocational home economics. Kansas City will inaugurate an ex-' tensive system of trade schools. St._ Louis and St. Joseph will each main; tain at least one trade school. These schools will share in the distribution of the state and federal moneys. St. Louis will continue its extensive sys- tem of evening schools. About twenty cities, including the. three larger cities. and seventeen smaller cities are making merit to start part-time schools compliance with the recently enacted law requiring the establishment of such schools for all employed boys and girls between fourteen and six- teen. and for employed boys and girls between sixteen and eighteen who have not completed the elementary school.

The Europeans seem to be making out the best they can with what they have. and they have shown a lack of enthusiasm over purchasing high-priced American goods—a fact no doubt discomfitting to speculators here and elsewhere. But the question of how the Euro- peans are ge_tting on at all presents itself. The Europeans are more used to adopting themselves to meet crises than are the Americans. There have been many and frequent wars in Eu- rope. and the people have for genera- tions been trained in saving. , The American people should ,be thankful that they have not had to suffer any more than they already have from the high prices during and following the war. They owe a cer- tain amount of gratitude to the Euro- peans. _who with characteristic old- world thrift. were able to forestall any unprecedented demand for Amer- ican products. , While speculators and boarders all over the world were plotting to make enormous profits out of a demand which has not come. Americans have gone on buying “in quantities. expen- sive and luxurious goods. such as Meals Apperizing and Tasty BF.

Editor the Missourian: ’ “Is it true thatl am required to sign up for a course in military tactics in the Uni- versity this fall? llilitary tactics, the devil. I got my military tactics in the Argonne." This bit of conversation. overheard by chance in the corridor of Academic Hall during registration day. brings forth a question as to the benefit aided in requiring these men to reg- ister for military science in the Uni- Vfiflitr. although they are veterans of the world war. .
