MISSOURI SCHOOLS.

The school bells are ringing all over
the state. Vacation is ended and the
call to books is the familiar and joyous
sound these bright autumnal mornings.
Eager feet are hurrying along the busy
streets and following the pathways
across the clover fields and through the
woodland pastures to the happy rem
devious. Happy hearts are responding
to the music of the bells and beaming
eyes are turned to white school houses
on the hill tops. How light the burden
of lunch basket in hand and satchel
ashoulderl Happy the Immature
George Washingtons and the uudevel-
oped Florence Nightingales of Mis-
souriI Their lines are cast in pleasant
places and roseate hues tint the morn
ing OF their lives.
Missouri is q beneficent mother TO
her children. Let us tell them what
the good old democratic state is doing
tor them:
She has set aside for them q school
fund a~ggregating $3, $4,000.
One.third of all the revenues of the
state are set aside for school purposes.
OF s65, 1854 children of school age on
the 3Oth day OF June, 1889, 6ll,54l
| attended school, and 10 look after their
education there were 1884 teachers.
The school houses numbered l 1,549,
| and Il, 204 school rooms were necessary
for the accommodation of the children.
1851, 1856 40 was apportioned by the
state to the little folks op,the 3lst day
OF July, $780,. =,
All this is Independent of the annual
appropriations for the State University,
School OF Mines and four normal
schools.
The total permanent county, town
ship and special school funds one year
ago was $6, 1884 1873 O3. This added TO
the permanent state school and semi
nary fund gives the magnificent aggre-
gate OF s1O, 65s 1889 Oh.
There are hundreds of private schools
aud colleges which we do not include
ia the foregoing statistics.
Texas alone, and that because oil the
reserve from the sale Of her vast public
domain, we believe, stands ahead OF
Missouri for the education of the youth
of the land.
All this has been practically accom-
plished since 1871, when Missouri was
redeemed from Acknowledgement, test
oaihs and intolerance, and restored 10
the beneficent rule OF democracy. The
generous state offers free education to
every child, black and white, within
her borders, and each of them should
be taught within its alphabets to resent
the calumnies of her traducers and
swell high the peans of praise TO
