Recent School Legislation,

Mr.. Editor: | feel quite sure that you
have many readers ANXIOUS to get such
information as is here given:
Under recent legislation county teach
ers' certificates are Of the same grades
containing same subjects as under the
law OF 1899. First grades must average
80. 1t does not authorise the indorse-
ment of certificates from other counties.
All certificates previously issued are
good until they expire by limitation. The
new law in nowise affects either state or
county certificates in force at the time
of the passage of the law 1t does not
authorize their renewal.
Examinations for certificates will be
held on the fourth Saturday and preced-
ing Friday of March, June and August.
The members of the County Board will
grade the papers and sign the certificates.
There will be little excuse for especial
certificates" and no inducements are
offered since a three dollar fee must be
paid for that examination and all ques-
tions and papers for specials must be
filed in office of County Recorder. The
entire examination need not be taken at
one tune.
The law does not excuse teachers,
holding state or county certificates ex-
tending beyond the institute, from at
tending the institute or from paying an
institute fee. BY indirection that fee is
fixed at one dollar and fifty cents.
The County Board of Education deter
mines the place of holding examinations;
also date and place of holding institute
in June, July or August.
Teachers must dismiss the idea that
there can be no good Institutes without
compulsion. Jasper, Jackson, Greene,
Pettis and other counties having super
vision have had for years institutes
equal to the best. Teachers in such coun-
ties have rever been compelled to go to
institutes 1OT ceIulllCduoo'
In counties having a hundred teachers
about sixty Of them will apply for GER
tifcates each year. The commissioner
will get $3b for conducting examinations
and attending meetings, and S36 for
work in the institute. Each appointed
! member of the County Board will get
S27 for conducting examinations and
performing other duties.
In such county there will be STA to
nav instructors. $54 paid by teachers
examined for certificates and $50 from
tbe forty teachers Of the county who
were not examined that year ALI mon
evs now in the treasury should be used
for that purpose.
The work of the institute being peda-
oog,cal and free from cramming for ex-
animation, there will be more discussion
and free expression of opinion. Not
nearly 50 much teaching will be neces-
gary Larger institutes can be handled
, with fewer instructors. County Boards
of Education imbued with stong desire
, no improve conditions will be less ham
nered in arranging for institutes under
the new law, than under the old.
Pamphlets containing recent enact
ments with comment thereon will be sent
the county commissioners elect just as
soon as their addresses are known The
, May Missouri School Journal will con-
tain full discussion of the various ap-
, pllcations OF the ia@

The Agents Best Chance.

The Constitution now offers
S25OO.00 in cash prizes to agents for
the very best agents work during
the first quarter Of the first year of
the new century. Omitting all con,
tests, except for agents, they place
the whole sum to the agents credit
and make the terms equitable for
distributing it over the whole teri
tory. The Constitution wants good
agents everywhere. Men who will
get out and canvass and hustle for
new business, Many who have to 60
over their own and adjoining couu-
ties on business can take The Con-
stitutlon along as the best side line.
Country doctors, rural route mail
carriers, nursery men, farmers and
good workmen. could all realize a.
mong the prizes and make their
commission besides. A fair salary
proposition for any man.
The MISREPRESENTATION makes
special feature of its agricultural
page, which is presided over by
Colonel r, J. Redding, director Of
the Georgia experiment farm, and
Il man who is recognized as an AK
pert on all agricultural topics. He
gives full page every week on ag
ricuiural matters A page Is devo-
ted to the women and a page to the
children, these two departments
being presided over by Mrs. william
King. ..
Every man should take his county
newspaper before anything else,
and next to this he should take a
good general newspaper, such as
The Constitution. His county pa
per gives him the local home news,
which is not supplied by a news
paper furnishing the general news
from all parts of the country and
from all over the world. Before
man seeks information from out
side, he should first feel sure that
he is being kept posted on what is
going on at home. When, however,
the opportunity is offered to get
the best weekly newspaper in this
country with your home paper, the
lnducement is such as to elicit
prompt response from our readers.
We will be glad to receive club
blng subscriptions with this paper
and The Constitution, and if there
are any who are now subscribers
to this paper, who wish to take The
Consultation also, we viii be glad
to receive subscriptions to the lat
ter and forward them, having au.
thority from that paper to do so.
The Constitution should be in

enriter. Because we are down, is
no good reason we should want to
be the under dog all the time and
it is unreasonable to suppose that
the very thing that got us down
will ever help us up. If the demo-
cratic party ever gains another vic
tory, it must find the ground upon
which it can make a united effort,

Piedmont Banner: Gov. Dockery
will show himself to be- one of the
finest statesmen Missouri has had IN
the executive chair since the time
of John S. Phelps. He moves for
ward with a determination and
honesty of purpose that can but win
the admiration of every Missourian
He has not yet made single mis-
take in statecraft, neither in the
advocacy of any measure nor in the
appointment of single individual
He is big enough and strong enough
to carry the affairs Of state safely
and we believe no one need have
any fear as to the success OF his
administration.

who ownes the principal lake, has
contracted these fish to St Louis
firm, and is shipping out about 5000
pounds II day, principally buffalo
and cat, though bass and crapplt
are plentiful. The plan was to shiI
the fish IN car load lots, but it was
found impossible to get fishermen
who could get them out so fast.
The output is shipped over the Gun.
ningham road to Caruthersville,
and from there over the Houck
road to Campbell and thence to st.
Louis. Some estimate that a million
pounds Of fish could be shipped, if
necessary.

PRACTICAL y all that has ever been
given to the school. The feeling
has been that the care and control
Of the presbyteries was mostly CON
troll and not very much care, So, as
u gentleman of Pennington has
offered to give the sum Of $4,000 to
the school on condition that the con
troll should be given up by the pres
byteries, and vested in the session

to grant this request. The st. Louis

Miss MoIlie Bryan, the beautiful
and accomplished daughter Of post
master Bryan, Of Bismarck, Mo,
and who also assists him in the Office
work, was presented with young
alligator last winter by friend
visiting in Florida. His 'gatorship
became very tame; in fact anyone
could handle HIM with impunity,
and he became a familiar figure in
the Bismarck postoffice. During
the big fire, in the hurry to save the
different articles OF value connected |
with the postoffice, the alligator
was entirely forgotten, and many |
days afterwards Miss MoIlie mourn
ed the loss of her pet. In the mean
time the postofiice had been moved
to the opposite side of the railroad
track, about 500 yards to the east
Of where the old Office stood. A few
days ago when Miss Bryan was max
ing MP the mail for No. 5S and was
busily postmarking the letters, she
felt something tugging at her dress.
Thinking it was a neighbours girl
who frequently visits her, and was
there at the time, she paid no partic-
uIar attention to it, Tug, tug, tug,
each succeeding tug harder than
the first. Miss Mollie looked down
and saw the familiar face ofthe ALI
gator, none the worst for his fry
ordeal. There was much weeping !
over the prodigaI's return, but how
he escaped the fire, and how he
found his old friends, no one knows
buithe alligator and be does not even
wink an eyelash, Iron County Club

Valuable Gift to State University.

The Political Science Department OF
the University of Missouri has received
valuable Shipment Of books from Capt.

student of the University. The book. are
in the nature of old records, laws, stat
utes, ETC., ane were obtained by Capt.
Barnes from the county court OF new
Madrid county. The court house in that
county is relatively small and these ola
books were simply in the way and were
of no value to the county. They WILL
however, be of great value to the state
University as furnishing material torre-
search work. There are about three
hundred volumes in all. Such loyalty 10
the University as this shown by Capt.
Barnes is to be commended.
IT is quite probable that in other cou,,
ties of the State there are numerous olo
records and law books which ara useless
to tine county, but which would Dc o.
much value to the students OF the UNI
versity as sources of information IN the
study of history. The University woull
be glad to receive any gift OF this klnd
