PEMBERTON'S SCHOOL.

The preparatory school which Morton
TT. ('Rcubcn') Pemberton is planning
to start near Centraia would supply
a long felt need in Missouri Boys on
the farm. far from county seats and
smaller towns. are compelled To leave
home for high school training. They
have Il choice of attending cith her the
public high schools of the state or mil
itary academies. none of which are de-
signed to meet the needs of future
farmers.
Much danger lies in suddenly trans
planting hoy from his farm home
with parental care to a boarding house
in town. Pcmbcrton'S school would
eliminate some of this risk. \ boy
would receive the academic training
necessary to admit him into the Agri-
cultural College of the University OF
Missouri and Vet have Il wholesome en-
vironment in the country. He would
he at home with nature and would not
grow nearly so tired of his school work.
For farm boy unable to take a
course in the university. training at
Pemberton'> school would be beneficial.
He would be taught the elementary
principles that lie at the bottom of
agricultural pursuits. lie would learn
ayronomy instead of Greek. and stock
Judging instead of Latin. He would be
fitted for the farm and not trained
away from it.
But il would be Il school for the city
boy as WELL Boys who are vcr>ed in
the u>agc~ of polite society could here
be introduced to nature and broadrncd
by the lessons learned from her. y
good, secondary school of agriculture
would help city and country boys.

Home Love Best Charity

We have come to realize that a child
needs something more than clothes and
food to develop the best; it needs the
love that can only be found in a home.
The success of the whole depends en-

this can only be achieved by recogniz-
ing each unit. though it be merely a
puny little child of want or crime. as an
