State examinations for teachers
certificates will bo held in 81. Joseph |
and Jefferson City on Monday and
Tuesday, December 2s and 20, 1908.
Examinations in group and special
subjects will be given on Monday
only and in the eleven required sub.
jects on second day only.
Arrangements were perfected at
the Ray county teachers association
for a large delegation Of teachers to
attend the state association at St.
Joseph, during the Christmas holi~
days. One hundred teachers will
most likely attend from that county.
The total enrolment will be 5000,
One OF the best features OF the
Missouri educational exhibit will be
complete presentation of all work
done by a few of the best schools.
Many will excel in some particular
phase of school work, but the school
that shows how it works out an en-
tire course cfstudy and secures good
results in all lines, is better. 1t Il
confdentally believed that the best
alI-ro1nd work will be exhibited by
rural schools.
Thestate teachers association has
been planned on new basis for this
wear. Forenoons and evenings will
be given to general sessions and tht
| entire afternoons of the three days
| to department meetings. The de
partment of county superintendent
should be attended by the twely'
county superintendents and the SOt
members of county boards ofeduca
ton. The chairman of this depart
ment, Miss Sutton, Superintendent
| Atchison county, has arranged q
aScelIent program.
II has been stated that Missoui
had twenty years ago better schogo
houses, comparatively speaking
than it has today, that there ha
been greater Improvement in u
construction of residences than
school houses. Throughout th
, state modern dwellings have take
the places Of the big barn-like res
dences and ofthelog hut. The schot
house should be the equal Of the be'

swept into the lake. Some stock was

Mrs Armour and children saw the
storm approaching and sought safety
in a cave and this precaution probably
saved their lives. Armour himself was
In Rockwell City with stock and had
not returned home when the storm
came up.
II. C. Maulsby was caught in the
storm while returning from town. His
team was blown into the lake and one

was expended. The track of the storm
was about twenty rods wide and two
miles long. No estimate of the losses
has been made. The storm was headed
directly for Rockwell City, and caused
great excitement In this place while it
lasted, the whirling column being plain
ly visible from the town.

FOR SIMPLER FUNERALS.
Mu.catine Minister Takes Up Idea ii
Behalf of the People.

Muscatine Minister Takes Up Idea in
Behalf of the People.
Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, April 13.-If the plans OF
the Muscatine Ministerial Association
are carried out, it is probable that in
the burial obsequfes held in Muscatine
will take place at different hours in the
day.
"rhe Ministerial Association has Oft
en- discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of express
ing themselves favorable to a change in
the manner of holding funerals" said
DR.. Charles L. Stafford this morning,
and at an early meeting it Is probable
that change will be proposed"
DR.. Stafford said that anyone who
had made any observations at funerals
will notice that the expense of pro-
friends to the cemetery, must necessar-
lily be very large. Quite often the be-
reaved people are quite poor, and are
really unable to go to this expense, but
for personal reasons they feel compell-
ed to do this. even If they are COM
PEELED to go beyond their means.
1.-The consequences are" said DR..
Stafford, that the family must econo-
mise for months to pay large funeral
bill 1t is large enough without this
additional expense of cabs, and we
think this can easily be eliminated.
At Different Hours.
The plan which DR.. Stafford says
will be adopted, will be the encourage
ment of the system of holding the fun
eral services and the burial at two diff
ferent hours. II this be done only the
relatives and a few intimate friends
will follow the remains to the cemetery.
DR.. Stafford says that the Ministerial
Association has often discussed the
matter of discouraging Sunday funer-
ais Ministers say that funeral serv-
ices on this day ordinarily disarrange
the set program for Sunday and impose
too heavy burden upon the pastor in
charge. AS yet no definite steps have
been taken in this regard by the local
association, but the rule of discourage
ing funerals on this day is being adj
dapted by the ministers in other cities
and towns of the state.

will Sue the Great Western.

Waterloo. April 13.-Mr. and Mrs.
Elias Skinner. who We're recently the
victims of a distressing accident at the
Great Western railway crossing in this
city, have filed suits against the COM
pany for s1,999 damages each for injur-
les sustained. 1t was in this accident
that Mrs. Melissa Knapp. sister of Mrs.
Skinner, lost her life on March %.
The principal item of negligence on
the part of the company is set forth in
the fact that the railway had no flag
man at the crossing on Sunday, it hav-
ing been practice in this city to allow
the flagmen at crossings to have Sun
day holiday when only passenger trains
were running.
