H.

Harris '-am in Martinville, Sunday morning. Zurcher recently moved near Montrose from California. In a speech before the Rotary Club here today, Prof. A. C.

Burrill, curator of the Missouri State Museum, emphasized the need for a building large enough for a territorial museum. Among the chief things lacking in state and city progress, according to Burrill, are graphic education in schools, an auditorium for great conventions, and a -lace for a large a building to be museum. He advocated used as a territorial museum, stating that he believed it possible to build one and devote a wing to each state of the old Missouri territory. He expressed the belief that these states would finance a hall to show their own contributions. Prof.

Burrill raised the question of what kind of building would furnish the best in lay-out and beauty, and suggested that a type might be chosen to show the development of the state. The only other great territorial museum, the professor said, is in Ottawa, Canada. "Books have been partly replacec schools by laboratories but outside of art museums there ire no natural history and his- x)rical museums for adult education," Prof. Burrill in promot- ng a program of graphic education. He pointed out that only at Lincoln University, the Junior College auditorium, and the legislative chambers could very large meetings ae held, and cevn they were not arge enough on some occasions.

He dwelt on the conditions at the capltol. "The Capitol Is so overcrowded that I can longer provide properly for the heiricoms and rare families the thin gs very oCllar.s having been taken over for other expanding departments," Burrill said. Many questions would come up about such a building, but it would serve a useful and cultural prpose he believes. He stated that he hac an idea for such a structure, hav ing gained it Irom a model of th palace of Minos, an architectural gem at Cnossus on the island Crete. du.stry on its understanding of tho recovery program's problems.

He described himself "a littlo mused and perhaps at times a llt- saddened" by writers and speak- rs who proclaim the administra- on has committed the country to omtnunism or Fascism and dic- itorship. His speech contained also one di- ect answer to criticism: "There are some people, of course, ho do not think things through: for example, the man who com- lained in one of yesterday morn- ng's papers that criticism was held be unpatriotic. "Let me put the case so clearly hat even his type will understand. we admit that -the government a specific problem to solve and undertakes to do It in a specific vay, the critic is unpatriotic who ontents himself with loudly pro- laiming that that way, that metdod no good; that it won't work; that is wrong to do this. This critic contributes nothing--he is not constructive; he is unpatriotic because he attempts to destroy without even suggesting a way to build up.

Critic is Patriotic. "On the other hand the critic is patriotic whether he be a business nan, a worker, a farmer or a politician if he says, I dont like the methods you are using to solve tha problem; I believe it would be better if we were to USD ing alternate method, and thereupon outlines for the benefit of his neighbor and his government helpful proposal." Then, he added, the average American is doing splendid service by coming back at the captious critic and saying to him, 'well, old man, and what do you "One thing is very certain," ha declared, "we are not going bacja "(Continued on Page 2),.
