mistakes can be avoided. But the best
course to pursue is fer the lad to fully

be easily done at the expense onlv Of

| Of the coat Of arms for Missouri En-
circling the fat porker was the state
motto: UNITED we stand. divided we
sal." On either side were two enor-
nous bears. but the hog looked out of
place.
President John A. Sea, Of the school
board, was sent for, and the new coat of
arms of Missouri seemed cut of place to
him, too. Mr.. Sea is lawyer, and was
quite sure that the contented-looki
Chester White hog pictured in the art
window was foreign to any coat of arms
he ever saw. There was no discussion
whatever over the matter but the art
glass manufacturer was sent for and
asked why it was that Chester White
pig should adorn the coat of arms of
the great state of Missouri, and that.
too, in temple Of education.
The art glass man was nonplussed.
Ma. Sea contended that the original
coat of arms had a black bear. but a
hcg-never. The picture Of the hog
must come out, the president Of the
board declared.
A picture of the coat Of arms of Mis-
souri, had been obtained in miniature
for copy. The bear picture could not
be made out. and the whole matter was
taken before a Kansas City lawyer. who
declared the picture Of the bear to be
that Of hog. and so the window was
made up with tie hog taking the place
of the bear. The artist who made up
the art window had the curl Of tbepig's
tail down to ine point, and altogether
the porher looked contended and happy.
Since the decree of the school board
that the hog must come out and the
bear be substituted in its place those Of
higher culture are breathing easier,
and everybody applauds the school
board for insisting on al works of art |
