The School and the Farm

Missouri is a state of many ant
varied resources, but is first of al
an agricultural state. On Missouri
farms are 2S2.SiO families. Thous.
ands OF others derive their hvel.-
hood indirectly from the soil. Yet
important as is agriculture, there
has until recently been compare
lively no attention given to It's
study, even in country schools. Too
often is it true that our country
boys and girls r. being educated
from the farm instead of for it,"
The foregoing is from a bulletin,
"The School and the Farm" recent
ly issued by the Missouri State
Board OF Agriculture, and which
may be had free by addressing, G..
B. Ellis, Secretary, Columbia, Mo.
The bulletin is intended primarily
for those engaged in work in rural
schools, but will doubtless be read
with interest by others. The au-
thor explains that by the term "ru-
raj schools" is meant "not only The
schools in extremely rural dis
tricts, but also those in villages and
small towns which draw largely
on the adjacent country for pupils
and financial support"
"Failure to take up the teaching
Of agriculture in some FORM" says
the author, "has not heretofore
meant that the teacher has been at
fault. Local conditions may have
been such as to have made it I'M
wise to undertake the work. How
ever, the point we would make
and we would make it plain is
that the rural school teacher is at
fault when he fails to point out to
the country boys and girls who are
his pupils, the beauties and advan-
tages OF the country, who is con-
stantly directing them cityward,
and whose general demeanor and
conversation is such as to make
them dissatisfied with their sur
roundings. Not that we would hav
our boys and girls blindfolded, not
a bit OF it. We would not have
them remain ON the farm Just be-
cause they rel born or reared
there, but we would have these
boys and girls receive the kind Of
instruction that would be OF value
to them should they decide to re-
main there"
Not only is the need OF agricul-
turap instruction pointed out, but
there are suggestions as to how to
interest the boys and girls in the
study OF the soil and growing
things. In addition, there are spe-
cial chapters by men prominent in
rural school work. In one OF
these Thos. R. Melton tells OF how
he introduced agriculture i'm a dis
trict school, and describes a novel
and successful school district fair.

The Kansas City Court OF APP
peals has declared the Warrens-
burg local option election void and
the town will have saloons again at
least for awhile. The law provides
that the election notice be pub
lished four weeks in one paper. To
make sure, It was published in two
papers, and In one of them the
notice appeared one day less than
four weeks and on this the court
bases its cause for error and de-
clares the election void.

His First Experience
Marshall, Mo.


Nov. 4, 1909.
Editor Republican:
/ was 'invited" to attend the
smoker given by the Commercial
Club at the Ruff Monday night and
as I luckily found myself able to
raise the price of a ticket, I pur-
chased one and for several days
lived in expectation of a big time
with the kings Of finance and wiz
ards of trade.
After waiting till $50 or 10 had
not touched a bite and was power
full gaunt-we sat down to a feast
the like l had never seen nor tast-
ed, and which certainly was high
toned. While we were all busy
grabbing for good things the fell
lows who "worked the trick" shut
the doors and placed a guard over
us-w were trapped! Then one OF
the "boys" said, says he, tive have
some automobile trips and other
little tricks to settle for and the
Fair Association won't pay the bill
so now the boys must shell out"
Some OF the fellows with big
rolls got scared and offered to give
$40 a piece to get out, which was
finally agreed to because the fell
lows who wanted the money was
afraid some who didn't have the
dough along would go free
while their paper was good for $40.
After this big bribery they stacked
their sails" awhile to see the other
fellows sluirm. Just about here
Nathaniel Randolph collapsed-fell
flat to the floor carrying his chair
with him. After coming to, ne Of
fered to part with his $40 and
was taken up. He said he'd make
up by taking in more washing. A
big Welsh-man man said he'd go
SIS too-$2.5O that he'd got out OF
Randolph and $3.50 that he had
saved from his own labors.
Some OF the fellows was slow and
they ~cross-fired them, told them of
the wealth OF their ancestors and
the glad day coming--the chicken
show-when all may eat yellow
legged chicken without money and
without price. (He meant "see"
instead OF eat--editor).
That whooped them up a little
but you ought to see the coin come
when they turned the smoke on.
We often heard OF "smokin' EN-
OUT" but this was smoking them in
and the money out.
Well after they counted up the
pile, says n fellow, "we'd like
to have more-need It in our BUSH
ness-don't expect to walk when
We can hire autos" Says the 9th
er fellow, "let's appoint a COM
mittee to way1ay them aingly
where they can't get a~way"-and
the bunch is now abroad in the land
Being a stranger and having a
hungry look they thought ! didn't
have any coin-had $3.50 with me
belonging to the boss--ani SO I
got away without further difficult
ties, but 1t beat me to see the fell
lows squirm while being held up
and then shout to see the other

A striking thing we noticed about
