game of the world and has lost. The
flttest has survived and always will.

has past that is splendid in bar
barrie sense. He has a future that is
splendid in civilized sense unless
we are to concede that barbarism is
the ordained state of the race. The
Indian will bring much to the great
race of which he is TO be in time only
a part. His contribution to human
progress will be infinitely greater
than if he retained his tribal entity.

State School Notes


the State Superintendent of
Public Schools will show some
interesting facts. Among
them will be.
The Compulsory Attendance
Law brought &c. 1853 children
into the schools the first year
after il was adopted.
The highest annual salary
paid "a rural teacher in Mis-
souri, is $500 for term of eight
months at S75 per month: the
lowest $50 for term OF 4 months
at Sl5 per month; the average
is below $500.
ST. Louis has an assessed
valuation Of S24O, cooper teach
err employed and pays an aver
age annual salary of 500.
Kansas CITY has An assessed
valuation ofSlI0. 600 per teacn.
or and pays $40 as an aver
age annual salary.
Rural districts in most
counties show "a larger assess
ed valuation to the teacher
than do the town schools of
the same county and the aver
age for the rural teacher is
above that Of the city and town
teachers of the State.
The average levy for school
purposes in the rural school
districts is about l7c on the
hundred dollars assessed val
uation while in the cities and
towns it is about see.
The above facts indicate
that there should be some leg
