In CONCLUSION we would urge upon
:. the
BUSINESS MEN OF BUTLKR,
to use their influence for the success
, and prosperity of the Butler Acad-
em,. Work tor it, and persuade
I your friends throughout the county
: to patron,ze it. By dong this, you
h will not only be reaping advantages
. tor yourself, but you Will be materi-
ally benefitting and enhancing the
: interests OF the town in which you
l. live. Take Lexington, Mo-. Colum-
II ba, Warrensburg, Rolla, and num-
n Der of other places we might name.
! and these towns are almost support
ed and kept up by the schools which
u their citizens have built and encour-
IS aged. The facts are, a college i'll
t this city with five hundred students
a would be worth more 10 the business
, men Of this town (and we will IN
cude the farmers too) than two rail-
e roads. Ii YOU don't believe this
al statement go TO Lexington or Colum-
g bla before vacation and then after.
IN and il you do not agree that we are
right, then your expenses shall not
i. cost you anything. The Butler
- Academy Is growing rapidly and in
i creaslng IN favor. lnproof Of which
IS you will only have to 90 back with
US a few years and we will show you
that the beautiful and attractive
building which now ornaments the
northwest part of Our city and fur
: nishes seating capacity for five hum
: dred students, was born in an upstairs
J. room over one of our stores on the
public square. This growth and
prosperity of the Butler Academy
. IS due to the pluck and persever-
'r ance of its founders and teachers,
who firmly believed in the old
,e adage, that ''from little acorns large
10 oaks grow"
. A parting word to our
:, FARMER FRIENDS
who have children to educated an
d are des,rous of sending them to a
It's first class school at the least pos
.p sihle expense. To all such IN ou'
rh county, would say, patronaze your
,- home school. Your boy or gIrl viii
:. receive the same training, and better,
I" than YOU could possibly expect st q
er foreign school. Second, they WI
be be near home and you can visit then
at and watch their progress. Third
>, YOU have no railroad expense or h,gf
!. board bills to pay. Fourth, you can
~ find better school or more compe
&c tent teachers in the State. Fifth, al
ith things being equal it is your prIvii
he eee and your duty to stand oy ans
,bt patron,ze YOUR home schools, am
:, we hope and believe you will do it
