Last evening, j. S. McGavren
and wife were at home to a
number Of their friends, in
Guiding the teachers of our
Public Schools, the Board of
Education and others. After
the guests were assembled,
some of the more dignitied of
the party gave a series of
eharades, giving the others OPP
portunity to show their ability
at guessing. Miss Middleton
carried off the prize for the
greatest number of correct
guesses. Then followed three
very pleasing numbers on the
program, piano solo, by Miss
Brandriff, reading by Miss
White and a vocal solo by Miss
Finley. Each number being
greatly appreciated by the COM
pany. After refreshments the
young girl friends of Ruth Nc
Gavren entertained the COM
pany by their singing of the
latest popular airs. Those who
enjoyed MI. and Mrs. McGav-
ren's hospitality expressed to
them at leaving, the pleasure
they felt in having passed so
pleasant an evening in their
home.

taught to any considerable number
of young men and women, and
they are the only schools, par x
ccllence, in which subjects are
studied and expounded in the
light of how they ought to be
presented to mind more mature
than those who are participating
in the different branches of study.
College and University gradu-
ates in nearly every instance, I'M
less they had learned to teach
before they entered upon their
academic studies, have to be
taught how to teach boys aud
girls in both the elementary and
high school classes. They some
times know the subject matter
fairly we'll, but they do not know
how to organize it and! how to
present it, and worse still, most
of them have such poor aim that
they miss the capital point in a
recitation or in O subject.
Until Missouri can turn out
enough trained graduates each
year to fill the vacancies that occur
in the teaching force of the State,
our system of public schools will
never be able to give value received
in instruction for the money ex-
pended. All the most enlightened
nations of the earth demand and
require, and furthermore, they
provide, that thoroughly educated
and technically trained teachers
shall be employed, and only such
as have been equipped, shall tcach
the children. 1t is the only way
to prevent waste, dissipation OF
mental effort and extravaganza in
the expenditure of public money.
not to speak of the deleterious ef-
fects upon the children whose
ideas, thoughts, characters and
conduct are to be shaped into
proper ideals concerning all the
vital questions of life's duties, its
relations and responsibilities.

Warm Water for Stock.

The practice of heating water for
stock in cold climates are growing
more in flavor every year. notwith-
standing that the idea called forth
much ridicule when first advance
ed. When animals drink from q
tank with ice in the water they do
not car to take much into their
stomachs, and judging from the
way they sip it, it seems as though
they tried to warm the water by
taking it in small quantities. The
effect of lowering the temperature
of the stomach means a loss Of
bodily heat that must be restored
by extra food. There are little
stoves on the market for just this
purpose, and by using them 1t will
be found more economical than
furnishing heat by extra feeding.
If the place for drinking can be so
arranged that the water can be
supplied without heating and with
out being decidedly chilly, this
expense and trouble is of course
unnecessary. Where stock get
water directly from the we'll it is
not always considered necessary
to warm it. There is, however, q
difference OF opinion on this SUBJ
ject among dairymen. At any rate
efforts should be made to provide
stock with water with the chill re-
moved during the entire cold sea-
son.

Moore State Normal Schools Needed

Moore State Normal Schools Needed.
BY supt, Greenwood, Kansas City, Mo.
BY the last annual report of the
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction of Missouri, the total
numbe. of men and women licens-
ed to teach in this state, was II,
O36, divided between the sexes as
follows: 5,210 men and 1926
women. From the same source,
the total number of graduates from
the State University since 1S43 was
1850 and the total number of grad
yates from the three normal schools
since June, 1871, was 1,701 making
the total number of graduates from
these four state institutions 4,65 1
since their organization, or q little
more than one-fourth of the pres.
emit public school teaching force of
the state. From the 300 high
schools of the state, the entire
number of graduates. for the year
in the three and in the four year
courses, was 4,l27; the total mum
Der of graduates from the Univ
ersity in all departments for the
year ending June, 1904, was 1879.
and from the State Normale at
Kirksville, Warrensburg and Cape
G~irardeau, lat or 1856 graduates all
told from the State University and
the three State Normal Schools.
1 have introduced those statist-
les to indicate the sources from
which the teaching force of the
state must be chiefly supplied. Of
the 1900 teachers OF the state,
1000 enteren upon their first year
of teaching in the fall of19O3. Putt
ting this thoughtin another way,
twenty-five out of every hundred
teachers who went into the school
houses that year had had no ex-
p~erinco. They YER green, un-
skilled bunglers.
If all the graduates from the
State University and the State
Normal Schools become teachers
and entered the teaching ranks
upon graduation each year, they
would hardly constitute ten per
cent, of the additional teachers
required annually. Should all
the high school graduates Of the
three and four year courses Of
study and all the other graduates
of other institutions of learning in
this state, become teachers, this
augmentation would hardly be
adequate to fill the depleted rank g
in the teaching force occasioned
by reeignations and Withdrawals
from year to- year. Not ten pei
cent, of all the graduates are en- :
gagged in teaching; hence the, sup
ply is entirely inadequates.
No school system can be re-
garded as efficient, strong an d
progressive in which one-ffth Of
the entire body is raw, unframed,
undisciplined and ignorant. In.
stead of having Ave State Normal
Schools, Missouri ought to havo Q
dozen at this time in full operation
we need trained teachers and we
need them badly. They are need
ed in every state in the American
Union, and the only way to gel
them is to establish and maintain
q system of normal schools, sum.
cient in number to supply the
demand of all the public schools
in the state. The normal schools
are the only school in which the
history. the philosophy. the theory
