1 John Marshall, who was for 36
years chief justice of the q. s. SUI
u preme Court and whose construction
of the constitution made ours go gov
ernment of the people, by tho people
and for the people," took his seat on
Feb. 4, 1901. Monday, Feb. 4th this
year, being the centennial anniver-
sary, it will celebrated throughout
the land under the auspices Of the
bar assoclations. The occasion is .
most fitting one for schools to teach
lessons in patriotism and for charac-
ter study, hence it is recommended
that all schools celebrate it in . fit
ting manner. A recommended pro-
gram for such celebration will be
found in the Jan. number Of the
Missouri School Journal. A PAM
phlet entitled How to celebrate John
Marshall Day" may be obtained by
addressing Judge Seldom Spenser,
st. Louis, Chairman Commattee oi
Missouri Bar Association. Schools
! in cities and towns, more especially
: High schools, should have an address
by some member Of the local bar.
