An occasional notice of some Of the
better schools of the State may serve
various good purposes. l. 1t may slim
ulatc towns and counties where such in
valuable blessings do not exist to take
immediate steps for the founding Of
good and permanent schools. 2. 1t will
lead the schools that are spoken of TO
renewed ezertions TO merit the public
appreciation, finding that the eyes of the
community are on them, and that they
are expected to vindicate their claim TO
public favor. But in the third and las,
place, such notices will be of great con-
venience to parents who are casting
about them for good school for the
discipline and education of their chill.
! fdren. For these reasons we shall al.
ways take especial pleasure in calling
attention 10 such schools as we may be
induced TO believe are permanent and
valuable and likely 10 rise to importance
among the educational Institutions in
! Missouri.
The Clarke Mission School, estab.
lished in the immediate vicinity Of Pal
myra, in this State, some three and a
half years ago, has passed through its
term of probatio- and may now fairly
be reckoned prominent and enduring
school Of the State-probably the germ
of one of the most distinguished Cole,
ges of the Mississippi valley. 1t has all
the natural advantages that are required
for successful collegiate institution
Ii is located in one of the richest coun.
lies in the State, and one Of the hea!thi-
est, and we think we may add one of
the mos, enterprising. The school is in
possession Of sixty acres Of land, and
has already one handsome brick edifce
and numerous other Improvements on
it. The spot is beautifully adapted 10
Improvement and use for the purposes
Of a College or High School.
The Clarke Mission School is free OF
debt, il has a large and valuable library,
excelled by few if any school or college
library in the State, and three teachers
of excellent attninments and much eX.
periencc in their profession. These
teachers are the Rev. VIM. B. Corbyn
Rev. G. p, Comings, and Mr.. Joseph j
Corbyn. They have been connected
with the school from its founding, unin.
terruptedly to the present date, and
have all the advantage of regularly
followed system of instruction, and ar
unbroken discipline in the management
of their institution. 1t would be diff
cult TO find in the State school gilmore
me,hodical arrangement, Of more eco
nomical habits, or Of greater precision
in outward discipline.
In the matter Of instruction and men
tai cultivation all adjuncts of the Clarke
A.. Mission School are highly favorable -
There is health, quiet and retired spot
an intelligent and respectable communi

an ambition to win high rank for lhei
school. That they are competent to d
