The new Missouri Teachers College,
an outgrowth Of the old department OF
Education of the University Of Missouri,
now proposes to give special attention 70
the training Of teachers Of Agriculture,
and to emphasize ito Importance in both
elementary and high school work. It
will do this in two ways:
twill recognize Agriculture and Horti.
culture as the equivalent Of other scien-
ces, literature and history in the grant.
ing of Life Certificates to teach. Not
only will special certificates to teach
Agriculture and Horticulture in High
Schools be granted, but students who
are not candidates for these certificates
will also be permitted to elect these
subjects along with the subjects in
which they are taking a certificate. In
this way . student who goes out from
the University to teach Botany or
Chemistry will likely also be able to
teach Agriculture and Horticulture.
All candidates for the certificate to
teach in elementary schools will be re.
quired to study Agriculture and Horti-
culture, Drawing and Manual Training
with special reference to instruction in
the grades. In this way every person
who gets a Life Certificate from the
Teachers College which declares the
holder fit to teach in the grades and
rural schools, can be relied upon to
teach Agriculture and the subjects re-
lated to 1t IL an opportunity is provided

parts of the body which the prayer to

MISSIONARY OBLIGED g
TO REFUSE PRESENT
Could Not Accept Property for Mission
in China Because People Wanted
Idol Worship "

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, July 17.-To have to re-
fuse the unconditional gift of build
ing and property estimated to be worth
$1,000 because of belief that trouble
might be caused among some of the
people, was the unpleasant experience
of the Rev. A. r. Kepler, a missionary
under the Presbyterian foreign board
at Soochow, China 4@r
The building was an old temple and
was offered to the missionaries by the
trustees in order that day school
might be opened there. All the plans
were made for the transfer. The mis-
sion was to have entire charge of the
estate. which has an income of about
$500 a year, and the children Of the
vicinity were to have free tuition, those
from other districts paying small fees.
The people who own the temple offered
it without solicitation, because they
wanted the property used for the edu-
cation of their children; and it was
offered to the missionaries because
it was believed that all the income
would be used for the purpose, none
finding its way to private pockets.
Opposition came from the officials and
the gentry Of the district in which the
temple is. They have no control over
1t and could not prevent it's transfer,
but they wanted idol worship continued
there, and represented to Mr.. Kepler
that riot and disturbance on small
scale might result if the missionaries
took the property, as people of neigh
boring villages would seriously object
to the change. To avoid any possibility
OF trouble the plans for school were
abandoned. Mr.7Kepler reports to the
officers of the board here that no end
of lawsuits and prosecutions Imagined
and reaD might have resulted, and the
missionaries decided to keep on the safe
side
