found nearly one hundred of Missouri :
brightest young men taking thorough
course in journalism. This plant is
managed in ii practical. up-to-date
manner. and is under the supervision OF
experienced journalists. who know what
they are teaching and know how t" i'm

that the RESULT of this School of Jour

throughout Missouri and the great
West. Whenever you improve the char

You most asSuredly assist in impr"v-

We believe the Missouri School OF Jour
