Principal points in Representative

WHEREAS, The state, after twenty-five
years Of experience with normals, with an ex-
penditure Of ssI5,755 up to 1896 hand up to 1894
only sent out I75 four-year and 318 tWo-year
normal graduates as against SIG private college
graduates without cost to the state; and
WHEREAS, The forthcoming report OF the
state superintendent OF public schools will
show that out OF the 1900 teachers in the
state only 1,6OJ have attended either of the
state normal schools as much as six months
showing that less than IL per cent. OF the
teachers in the state have enjoyed any of the
fore be it
ResOlred, That it is the sense of this house
that the state normals, located at Kirksyille,
Warrensburg and Cape Girardeau, should be
turned over to the communities in which they
are situated, by nominal sale, without appro-
priations and power to grant state certificates,
and by so doing give each of them chance tc
stand upon their own merits, as the private
normals and colleges of the state must do; and
be it further.
''Reso ICED, That this house will favor a lib
eral appropriation for the maintenance of a
normal department to the state university
which shall be the one authority outside OF the
state superintendent OF public schools which
shall be given the authority to grant state GER
tlhcateS to teachers, to the end that private
enterprise in the way of establishing normal
schools and colleges in this state, may be en-
couraged."

of the Boston Fruit Company being
foreign build.
An important and gratifying feature
of this contract is the fact that it has
been awarded to the Cramps upon an
abs olutely competitive basis. Foreign
builders engaged actively in the bid
ding, and the success of an American
concern in obtaining the award assists
in establishing the fact that in the
building and equipment of the modern
steel steamship America can hold her
own against the nations of the EARTH
1t is understood that the contract for
the building of these four vessels in
wolves larger sum of money than any
similar one placed in the United
States since the "St. Paul" and "St.
Louis" of the American line were
built.
1t is fact however, that the same
syndicate which has ordered these four
ships for the West India fruit trade has
contracted for two steamers of larger
dimensions to be built in Europe and
sailed under a foreign flag. When the
general subject of our shipping laws
comes up for consideration by Congress
next month it would be well for our
lawmakers to enquire why ships plying
between American and European ports
built by American capital and owned
and operated by Americans, should not
also be built in America and sailed under
the American flag. Senator Elkius may
find in this circumstance fresh support
for his sensible and patriotic plan to
encourage and promote American
shipping.
