is known everywhere. There has
never been a President and Vice
President more thoroughly in accord,
personally and politically, than these
two men have been from the day they
were placed on the ticket together,
and there has never been Vice
President who was allowed so large a
share in shaping national policies as
Mr.. Hobart has had. The great
ability of the man has had as much to
do with this as the friendship of the
President for him.

An Educational Advance.


No more noteworthy educational
movement has taken place in Missouri
in the last decade than the growth and
development Of high schools. The at
tendance upon the high schools in the
State has increased several hundred
per cent. The number Of schools Of
this grade has been quadrupled, anc
the courses taught have been enlarg-
ed and strengthened. There is now
scarcely a town in Missouri of 5,0Ot
inhabitants which does not maintain
a high school Of greater or less excel
lence.
The benefits arising from this edu-
cational movement r already being
felt. The high school is the poor mani
college. In 1t is received practically al
the training that the large majority Of
the boys and girls receiye.beyond the
grammer grades. 1t gives equipment
and training along lines that are Of
inestimable value. The high school
pulls up the lower grades as well. Il ID
q stimulus to the students there. II
strengthens the teaching In these low
or grades and adds to the general Ell
cheney. The slight expenditure neces-
sary to maintain a well-equipped high
school course is worth all 1t eosts.
