Prof. Marks, OF the State Uni
versity, was with the Board . part
of the time in its meetings south
of the Missouri River. HE sub.
jest is, in:connection with . col.
lege education to also have an In.
dustrial education. He showed
specimens of work BY some Of
his pupils with only 36 hours Of
training that would compare favor
ably with many of our carpenters.
Pupils are instructed in wood
work and also in the working Of
iron, such as blacksmithing, lathe
work and machinery.
DR.. Turner, the State Veterinar.
ian, was present with the Board
to tell how to handle diseases Of
animals. He could elicit quite .
number Of questions from the peo-
pie where ever he went in regard
to stock. There were others also
from place TO place to take part in
the meetings, among whom We
would mention DR.. Porter. the
Dean OF the Agricultural College,

mention Mrs. Geo. E. Dugan, of
Sedalia, who is q Christian lady
and one of high literary attain.
ments. She has several papers Of
great interest and can entertain an
audience wherever she goes, TO their
profit. We will now mention

the advantage of having 5 modern

could be much more said on this
interesting subje but will have
to desist, only adding that Mr.. J.
L. Erwin, of Fulton, is TO be in
Mexico on the evening Of the
9th inst, and We hope that
our people, both OF the city
and country, will give him hearty
reception and turn out to hear him
in the interest of good roads; and,
while all persons ma, not be able
to do much, If all 90 TO work To-

thing accomplished. Come, fellow
citizens; let us wake up to the Inn
portance of all public improve
ments and thus help ourselves and
country. The only reason We will
not have the Board with Us this
sesson is, We were too slow 70 ask
them here, and they are certainly
doing q good work all over the
country by employing these isotS:-
ers, who not only have book and
paper learning, but practical ex.

some that sneer at this, but il they
don't join in the procession they
win certaingy get left.
