VIC M'CANDLESS HAS
A VERY NARROW ESCAPE

While driving from this city out
to ranch southwest of here yester-
day afternoon ]. V. McCsndless and
Charles Gregg had very narrow es-
capes from being killed IN runaway.
While driving over four-inch gas
pipe laid in the oil field, the steel
axle snapped near the fifth wheel,
threw Gregg, who was sitting on
the left hand side out Oh the ground
and Mr.. McCandless over the cross
bar in front of the dashboard. His
head was between the crossbar and
the horses feet and his legs were
hanging between the crossbar and the
dashboard.
The horse took fright and run with
all it's might. Mr.. McOandless
while in his dangerous position
planned in making escape from severe
injury If not from death, but upon
looking in under the buggy saw the
broken axle dragging on the ground.
Escape through this avenue WAS cut
off because he might have fallen un-
der the broken axle and been ground
to death.
As usual thing horse begins
kicking furiously when excited and
he remembered this. Then making a
desperate lunge, he swung himself
from the buggy, lit on his head
alongside the road and rolled fifty
feet. But the hind wheel of the
buggy struck him between the
shoulders. Gregg escaped with few
bruises.
Just as Victor left the buggy the
horse started kicking. broke the cross
bar and the dashboard and otherwi st
damaged the rig. II he had re-
mained hanging to the crossbar two
second longer the horse would have
kicked his life ont. The horse
continued to run quarter of 9
mile further and then stopped on
the edge Of steep precip'ce.

MISSOURPS GREATEST
PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Standing Of the State University.
Its Recent Growth and PROGRESS.
What it Means to Missouri.
Most Rapidly Growing Institution
Of High Learning in the United
States. '.

can boast of a better public school
system than can Missouri. Com
prising for every degree of educa-
ton from the kindergarten through
the grade schools, high schools and
Normals to institutions organized
for the most advanced intellectual
training, this system stands today
with hardly an equal anywhere. in
the entire country. At the very
top is the State University. Of this
institution every Missourian has a
right to be proud. Time was when
one who would seek a higher edu-
cation was compelled to search for
it in distant states and to secure it,
if at all, only after having over
come obstacles almost insurmount-
able to any save those who were
blest with much of this worlds
goods. That day is past. And now
thanks to the foresight of the pio-
neer settlers of the State any young
man or woman, in any Missouri
community, who is ambitious to Sc
cure an education of the highest
type can get it in his own State.
This is true whether they be pos
seSsed of means or not. Every
year hundreds of worthy young men
and women, endowed with pluck
and energy, are making their. way
at the University of Missouri and
at the same time. pursuing cours es
of study in the various Departments
of the institution, with eminent
success.
One of the things about fine Uni
versity of Missouri which should
excite the pride of the MissOurians
everywhere is its recent rapid
growth. Less than half a dozen
years ago the entire enrolment of
the institution had not yet reached
one thousand students. But, in the
session which has just closed the
enrolment passed the. $500 mark.
Indeed the rate growth has exceed
ed that of any other American in
stitution of similar character. 1t is
confidently predicted by those who
are best informed that the next
school year will see almost 5000 of
the young men and women of Mis-
souri, gathered in the halls of the
various Colleges and Departments
of the University, r
During all the time that this rap
id growth has been in progress the
entrance requirements to the Uni,
versitp have been continually in
creased. AS a result, in order that
they may meet these higher stand.
ards, a corresponding development
and growth has taken place in the
high schools of the state. For high
schools are the feeders of the Uni
versity. They are its only ,prepar
.atory school, since the ordinary
preparatory Department, witt
which most institution of highe
learning are still encountered, was
abolished at the University NOR,
than fifteen years ago.
The growth in attendance ha.
not been the only mark of progress
To meet the increasing demand
which these young men and WON.
en- have been making has neceSsa.
rily taken place an increase in the
equipment and in the teaching
force. Today the University has al
its disposal thirty-four splendid
buildings of brick and stone, well
furnished for the work which the
University has to do. These mag
nificent structures are grouped
around a central quadrangle in the
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1908-08-20

and equipment are valued at more
than 100000. Nearly two hun
'dred teachers Professors, Assist
ant Professors, Instructors and As
sistants) are engaged in the in
of the student body. The
income Of the University is equiva-
lent to the interest on an endow-
ment of more than $12,000,0O0
Whatever may be the ambition
of the young man or woman
whether it be for success in the
business world or for a professional
career, Missouri opens to him the
door of opportunity in this great
public school. Here, in what Secre-
tary of Agriculture James Wilson,
has termed in some respects the
best College of Agriculture in
America" he may secure that
knowledge of scientific farming
which the successful farmer OF the
future must necessarily possess.
Here also he may prepare for the
practice of the Law in one of the
best Law schools in the entire
country. And here he may pre-
pare for Medicine, for Engineering,
for journalism, or for Teaching.
Or if he aspires for general culture
only, or desires to precede his pro-
fesSional specialization by a general
college training, then he may attend
the College of Arts and Science
which here, as in other great uni
versities, is the center of university
life around which are grouped the
various professional. schools In
this Department nearly 1000 stud
ents, including 500 young ladies,
were enrolled last year. 1t is this
Department that gives the historic
degree of Bachelor of Arts and the
higher degrees of Master of Arts
and Doctor of Philosophy. All of
these Departments are open, free of
charge, to any who are prepared to
enter. 8"
In answer to the question, Does
a College Education pay?" there
can be but one reply. Statistics
prepared by the U. S''Department
Of Education show that one boy in
5000 who has only finished the
common schools Win attain distinc-
ton in any line Of human activity
Of those with a high school educa-
ton one in 404 will reach the same
distinction, but Of those who have a
college education one out of every
AZ will attain a national reputation
and practically all will achieve
more than ordinary success. In an
swer to the other question, Where
shall the young man 60 to college?"
Missouri provides the answer in the
greatest of her public schools.

Senator Stones great service to
his party during the national con-
ventiOn at Denver, Colo., and his
loyalty to the peerless statesman of
Nebraska William j: Bryan: are
also fresh in the minds of all Mis-.

by Senator Stone in the forinulat-

to .rehearse. His commanding fig
'ure was ever present, his great
mind responding to a heart in full
symwathy with the-great masses of
people was a dominant, factor in
that great convention, Senator
Stone is one of the great leaders of
the Democratic party, recognized SO
from East to West, from North to
South, and his name has brought
Missouri into political prominence.
Stone, the Democratic champion,
who fights his party's battle at
home and in the field of the enemy
is big enough to place party success
ahead of personal advancement.
