In accordance with the idea first introduced last

in the methods of graduation from the high schools

A circular embodying the scheme is in prepara-

school principals the meeting presided over by
Superintendent Maxwell Monday night The
matter was then discussed in detail, and approved
by unanimous vote. The essential features of the
change are that every principal shall send to the
board of superntendents an abstract OF the record
of each student who has reached the last term
of the course including conduct and industry,
as well as number of terms and recitatlonS at

More than 5000 has been raised to erect suit

Slgel Born in Germany, a patriotic soldier and
exile from his fatherland in 1SiS, a naturazed
citizen of the United States. a resident OF Missouri
when the War of the Rebellion broke in 1851,
he promptly gave his sword and his services to his
adopted country. With Blair and Lyon and kindred
spirits he organized the movement that saved St.
Louis and Missouri to the nation. In saving Mis-
souri, they assured the final result of the war from
its very beginning. At Pea Ridge he almost
the first victory of the war. and from that day
served loyalty unselfishy and without complaint
wherever ne assigned to duty.
In peace he was the best type of a good citizen
and true man. Simple in his habits pure and high
minded in his life generous. self-sacricing, loyal
he sought always to do his duty; he honor
10 the land OF his birth: he was honor to the
land of his adoption. Such life and such service
are rare among men. and We ask all our fellow

us erect such a monument as shall do just honor
to his memory and transmit his name in
