Ing to Dr. A. Rosa Hill, president of the
University of Missouri.
Dr. Hill was principal speaker at the
annual Washington anniversary pinner of
the Omaha club Wednesday.
Introduced' by Myron I.. Learned. t)r. Hill
talked on""Pome Influences of the Revolu
tion on American Education " .
Rom under the British flag In .Canada,
the speaker declared he had acquired his
patriotism from a grandfather who fought
In the war of the revolution.
"Men of colonial times," he said, "erected
schools and agreed that Intelligence waa
essential to good citizenship. Men at that
time were guided by Instinct rather than
educational theory. There was an Increase
in colleges about this time, four being born
during the revolution.
"By 1 there were more colleges In
proportion to the population than there are
now. The proportion of students wag aa
great aa abroad. Colleges of the colonial
period were about on a level with the high
schools of the present 1av. Men graduated
at' 1 and 20 years. They were virtually
secondary schools.
Schools In F.arly Onya.
"There was only one ee, larlan school at
the lime of the revolution. .Ml could not
have collcgea and soon we find the adop
tion of pulillr control.
"The greet slate universale came as a
direct result of the revolutionary war. The
InhereUy of Virginia, founded by Jeffer
son.' was the first distinctly state univer
sity. Now we find the west and east the
greatest t-oil for such Institutions. When
Ir. Eliot said comix tit Inn Is the life of
universities as wrll as business houses ha
expressed an old truth In a new way. We
may look to find the Kreatcst of the uni
versities of the nation in tho future In the
west.
"Jhe elective system was first introduced
at the University of Virginia, being one of
the ideas of Jefferson.
"Tho academy was the most chaiacteralic
of American civilization Immediately after
the revolution. it stood for transition, fort
liberal education among all classes. The Infers of the Douglas County association
notion, that education ia worth while Wganj lived over again Wednesday the days and
to-be accepted. Most colleges at that time the deeds of the past. The-occasion was
stood for liberal culture; the academies
did not.
"Girls of colonial times learned little.
KOuiatlon was not thought necessary for
them. Hoon after the revolution we find
gil ls' schools starting , and. the academies
becoming co-edu'-atlonal. (
"The education system of the country Is
till young. It is difficult to predict what
the Outcome will be The effect which the
revolution had upon education, 1 think, will
be the dominant feature of the education
of the future."

j flanders on touring car
President of E. M. F. Company Thinks
it "Czar of Autos."
i TOUHIXG SUPREMELY PLEASANT !
W alter 95. Flanders Talks Interest-
lalr Ala o fjeaaoeraey
Owncre Saye "well Oaee
Are Smt blaai. !
W alter K. Flanders, president of the F. j
I M F. Automobile company, gives sn Inter- i
siting interview on the touring car. as the ;
type that leads all others. Mr. Flanders
Is a strong believer In the democracy of '
the mo'or car, declaring that it la a pecu
liar fact, but true, that there la no snob
bishness among, motorists.
Following are i some of the things the
auto manufacturer 'has to say on the aub
rt: "N'othlng In the whole field of mott ring
afford such tarled and constant pleasure
as the form of use that has given the name
to a type of car that has won greatest fame
and has become more generally used than
any other. The touring car Is the exsr r?
automobiles. Ills tn touring that the owner
of the motor car finds his greatest pless
ure.
"Multitudinous' as are the uses of the
automobile.'' there ; Is one field that must
always be-supremely attractive to the ma
jority of owners. , It makes no difference
whether the ctt was purchased for pleasure
or utility purposes. The pleasure of tour
ing -rannot be equalled by any other pas
time. Automobile touring Is a boon to man
kind, and the, greatest health-giving sport
known, to civilization.
Mot kin; Better Tor.
"There ia nothing In th world that af
fords as much joy as a slashing trip
through a' couhtry that Ilea alwaya open
to the automobile tourist. For him' the
bonds of the timetable are loosened he
may go whither he will and his Journey
need not be marred by passing through
this manufacturing town or that, as must
be the case of. him Who relies upon the rail
road for travel.) Not for the motorist Is
the confinement of a train. ,
"The automobile tourist Is his own time
table, lis starts at his pleasure, and If he
come to a place where he would stop and
ret all he needs Is a pressure of the font,
it turp of the hand and he Is there to stay
ss long as It may please him.
"Through ' woods and plains; over hills
land valleys; .by. broad rivers and babbling
btooks; tn settled country or In solitudes;
he makes his own Itinerary. He need not
fear to venture as far from civilisation aa
his wanderluat may -lead. !
"To the man w ho owns a motor car and i
knows Its use, America Is indeed the prom
ised land. In every state. In every county
stirs the spirit of the good roads movement.
Everywhere he; will' find preparations be-
till made for him aa the hrlncer of nrnrrMi I
,nd Olvllzatlon and ha a rent of nrnsnerltv.
Here and there he will find speed traps.
uut he will have been warned of them hv
his club and will know how to conduct him
self with discretion. But for every speed
trap he will find a dozer, stretches of road
where he may open' his throttle and apeed
on,' secure In the clear ribbon of road that
cn winds beneath ' him exulting tn the slap
of the tonic air on the hottest of days,
drawing from life the best that It holds
for him In the pursuit of health and pleas
ure. .'.-- -v; -
. "There never was such an instrument
to. promote democracy as the motor car.
One .might, expect exclualveness on the part
of a man who shares the road In nls $10,000
car. with the owner of a runabout, but on
IS disappointed. . Let a man In the runabout
be In distress, and be will find his richer
brother ceeerfully pausing to give the help
of .his', high- priced chauffeur and glad
enough to accept the cheerful return of the
Tavor the next day or the next week. All
good autontnbtllsta become brothers of the
road 'when, one' th a longing for the road
has seized . them., and there Is no escape
from 'the rrtotor. car microbe and no cur
for its ravage.". .

' Th. Clttrens' Improvement club held Its
regular .weekly, meeting In th. city build
ing last night, and' took advantage of th.
first opportunity to give Governor Carroll
a good roaat for vetoing the bill providing
for the Oregon plan of selecting United
States senstors In Iowa. Several members
of (hs club expressed their views strongly
and not ons hsd sn' approving word to say
of ths governor's notion. . A resolution em
bodying the -views of the club wss passed
without a dissenting vote.
Another resolution that was equally pop
ular was approved tn the same unanimous
manner. . It was the unqualified endorse
ment of. the work of J. Chris Jensen In con
nection with the waterworks controversy,
and carried ths request of the club to the
former alderman to endee . r to get before
the court of condemnation ' an adequate
claim for tfie use of the streets during the ;
five years the water company has been ope
rating without a charier. It waa declare.)
this bill shou' be large enough not only i
to dispose of ti.e "going value" of the plan
but largely wipe out the eompane'e peftdina .
bill of nearly 940,000 for unpaid firs hydrant j
rentals. '
-The executive committee of the club wss
Instructed to begin some aetlon that will

Missourians from Northern Part
' Have Let Chance Slip, bat St.

St. .Joseph will not get Hie 1911 exposition
of the National Horticultural congress.
That has been definitely decided. The
backers of the movement to hold the con
vention there failed to make the financial
showing necessary, and the last proposition
received from them was of such a charac
ter that It eliminated them altogether from
further consideration.
The contest is now between Minneapolis,
St. Paul and St. Louis, with New Orleans
arousing herself from the temporary leth
argy due to the atunnlng blow administered
by congress when San Francisco wss
chosen as the sit. for the Panama expo
sition, and the southern city may yet be
come an aggressive bidder for the big na
tional fruit show.
" The basis upon which the cities ars bid
ding for ths show Is the percentage of the
receipts to be given the congress to defray
the expenses of those and previous expo
sitions. . St. Joseph was given the oppor
tunity to take the exposition by giving 2i
per cent of . the gate receipts, but dallied
long and f'nally made a less satisfactory
bid.
- St. Louis has offered to provide the ex
position building and pay all of the expo
sition week expenses. Including muslo and
other attractions on the program, leaving
for the congress -only the cost of the pre
miums. This is even better then the per
centage offered by the Minnesota towns.
The exposition offlcers are in no hurry to
closs ths .negotiations "and ths plsce for
holding the next big show may not be de
cided upon until May.
