the daily routine Of the duties OF
the cadets.
The bugle sounds reveilIs at 6,
and at once every cadet is out Of
bed and hastily dressing for roll call
in ten minutes. He then returns to
his room, makes up his bed, puts
everything in shape, and prepares
for the visit of the inspecting officer
at $50, when everything in the
room must be in perfect order. and
no particle Of dust must soil the
white gloye of the officer in full
dress who makes this early inspec-
tion--no merely formal matter, but
quite a serious affair. At $50 comes
the first bugle call for breakfast,
and at Z the battalion is marched
into the mess hall for the substan-
tial morning meal. At 7:30 comes
the surgeons call, when all cadets
on the sick list are carefully exam
ined and are either reported or ex-
cused, as the exigencies of the case
may demand. In case Of serious or
contagious sickness, the cadet is
moved at once to a large and sunny
room where, removed from the noise
of the more frequented part of the
buildings, he can be quiet, and re-
ceiye the special care of the surgeon
and a trained nurse, and have every
opportunity for speedy recovery
1t is source of congratulation to
the patrons and the management
that not a single case of serious
sickness has occurred in the school
during the present year. and thai
the visits of the physician have beer
in a large part merely formal.

military feature has very great ad-
vantages, which can be secured in
no other way. The military drill
and gymnastic exercises give the
very best physical training and exer-
else, and at the time when boys
most need the greatest care taken
with their physical Developments.
During the past year we have noted
in many cases that STOPPING shoul-
ders have become erect, narrow
chests have expanded, and a careless
and uncertain gait has become firm
and elastic. Nor is there any ele-
ment OF training which so carefully
and constantly eultivates the habits
of regularity, neatness of person and
quarters, promptness, obedience and
self-culture, as the military discip-
line. The fact is, we can not over
estimate the Importance of our aceu-
rate knowledge of military drill
and discipline to the young men Of
our State. When they get their
training and go to their homes they
naturally become the leaders in or
ganizing and training the militia of
their counties for active and efficient
service, and in case of all emergency
they would inevitably be selected as
officers Of volunteers.
The A1jutant General of the army
has recently expressed himself
strongly in the following language
81 do not think the Importance of
this early and partial introduction
of the youth of the country to mill
tary studies and habits can be over
estimated. The course of instrue-
tion does not interfere with the
scholastic curriculum, nor prevent
them from entering any Of the
several walks of civil life for which
they are preparing themselves. 1t,
however, leads them to affiliate in
after life with the militia of their
respective States, and, enhancing
their value as members of such
organizations, increases measurably
the capacity of the States National
Guard to furnish trained officers to
the country in its hour Of need"

A BRILLIANT HISTORY.
The Missouri Military Academy
has very short history, but very
brilliant one from the inception OF
the idea of its foundation to the end
of the present season. In the year
|lof 1889 Mexico made an effort to
secure the Orphan School, which
the Christian Church proposed to
establish in some central point in
the State, but Falton outbid Mex
leo and secured the prize. In lit,
tie while the proposition was made
to secure Military School for boys,
and in a few weeks the citizens OF
Mexico weekly ledger., 1891-06-04

The Academy opened the first
day with every room in the build
ing taken, and during the succeed
ing weeks many pupils were de-
clined for lack of room. and sent off
to other schools. And these Young
men were the representatives of the
very best families in this. and the
adjoining States-indeed the uni
versal verdict Of our citizens has
been that there has never been col
lected before in the State so unex-
ceptionally fine a body OF young
men as those who collected the first
year at the Missouri Military Acade-
my.
The success of the school has been
phenomenal indeed we doubt ii
any similar school has ever before
achieved such signal success in a
single year, and early in the session
it was found that the necessity was
imperative that there should be
more room. The arrangements
| were all made, the plans drawn by
Mr.. A. E. Roach, a st. Louis arehi.
| tect, and an elegant new building is
we'll under way and will be ready
for occupancy by the opening ii
September.
The cost of the new building will
likely exceed $50, 900, and it will bt

steam and will resemble the present
structure very much. Ii will con
tain fifty or more rooms, a spac iou'

to 200 pupils. The building vii

RELYING SOLELY UPON ITS MERITS
The college stands in the front
rank of Missouri schools and
claims to present educational ad-
vantages not excelled anywhere in
this country. For these reasons
alone, it asks the patronage and
confidence of the public.
GOVERNMENT.
The government at Hardin aims
to promote that mutual respect,
confidence and affection found in
every well ordered home. While
girls are expected TO do right, it 10
not forgotten that they are likely
often to do wrong. The wrong is
portrayed in all its deformity-yet
so kindly as to make the offender
feel that q ftiend has come TO res.

stantly reminded Of their individ-
! ual responsibility, and that by az

more improved by them than by any
single class they have entered.
The regular school duties of the

four hours they are pursued without

in regular military style to the Sec

In the last two years, 13 students
from the conservatory have been

GOOD RESULTS.
Monroe County r. - L. Union
Brought Forth Good Fruit
Raised Tax Levy
$5O,000.

A prominent business man, of
Paris, NO., writing to the editor Of
the LEDGER under the date of May
20, 1891, referring to the late in
vestigation by the f. g. L. Union
committee, in Monroe county ,says:
"The committee appointed by
the f. & L. Union to examine the
county records and assessors
books of Monroe county first made
a list of all the mortgages and deeds
of trust, and then compared that
list with the assessors books. In
this way they succeeded in raising
the assessment of about 25 or 30
persons, in the aggregate, about
$50, 900. the raise amounting to
from $40 to over 5000 each, and
in one case, the Bailey estate, at
Monroe City, SIS. 900. When the
Board Of Equalization met about
$l5, 600 of the amount 90 raised
was taken off, the parties showing
to the satisfaction of the Board
that many mortgages had been
paid off, but had never been >can-
celled, so that the actual raise
made by the committee is about
$35, 600. Not much, but i ann of
the opinion that the investigation
has and will result in good in sew
eral ways. Many persons who
were thought to be giving fraudu.
lent lists were found to be all right,
while others who were though TO be
be above Suspicion were found to
badly short. Then the investiga-
ton has caused the release of
many mortgages that were paid of,
but through neglect, had never
been released. Another thing. II
will make men more careful when
giving in their tax list the next
time.o

this county only looked into the
matter of tax dodging. The COM
mittee had no instructions TO in

THE COLLEGE FAMILY
Consists OF the Presidents family,

of their daughters, whether physi-i
cal, moral or intellectual, will be
guarded as we'll as when they are

household is to contribute to the
pleasant social life of mutual con-

in College rules, and to do right

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS.
The College grounds are ten
acres in area, carpeted with green
sward and covered with beautiful
shade trees and evergreens, Afford
ing ample facilities for outdoor
exercise, in pleasant weather.
THE COLLEGE BUILDING
Is a handsome structure, recently
built of solid masonry. As a spec-
linen of splendid architecture, ar
ranged with special reference 10
the safety, comfort and conven-
fence of a College Home, it stands
without q rival.
THE DoRMIToRIEs
Are large, with high ceilings, and
are furnished with ample facilities
for ventilation. They are hand
somely equipped with new furni-
ture. The floors are covered with
Brussels or ingram carpets. The
entire building, dormitories and
halls are
HEATED BY STEAM,
So that in the coldest weather
every part of the building has a
pleasant temperature. The radia-
tors are provided with valves for
regulating the heat at pleasure 10
any desired temperature.
Since the foundation of the Col
lege, eighteen years ago, it's steady
increase OF patronage, year after
year, from Missouri and from other
States in the South and West, is in
the highest degree gratifying. -Four
times has the increase of patron
age demanded more room. Every
such demand has been promptly
met.

This beautiful park, with grassy
