EDUCATIONAL MITES.


The law does not authorize the en-
dorSement of a teachers certificate
from another county or state. The
Legislature repealed such authority
in 1901, and enacted a section pre-
Scribing a penalty for issuing certifi-
Gates except on examination. This is
not an opinion ofanyone, but the law.
The State Superintendent of Public
Schools has no authority to grant per-
mission to endorse certificates or to
prohibit il. The whole matter is
governed by statute.
The nineneth day the adjourn
ment OF the Legislature falls on Sun
day, August 18th. The law provid-
ing for county supervision of schools
will take effect Monday, August 10Th,
and the county superintendent can
qualify under il on or after that date
by filing 4 bond, taking the oath and
receiving new commission. The
salary OF the county superintendent
of schools is based on the population
of the county,
The convention of county superin-
tendentS of public schools will meet
in jefferson City, Tuesday, August
10, 1909. This is Missouri Day, the
SSth anniversary of her admission to
the Union. an appropriate time to
hold an important educational meet
ing This convention will continue
in session five days. Many promi-
nent educators will be present and
join in the discussions.
The new law provides that the
county superintendent of schools
shall hold an educational meeting
lust prior TO opening of the schools. >
II has been suggested that unless
conditions make another date prefer
able, this meeting be held August
25th and 18th. Questions relating to
organization, grading and classified
ton of the schools, course of study,
records and reports should be fully
and freely discussed at these meet
ingS.
Unless there are local reasons for
the selection OF different date every
school in the county should open on
the same day, Monday, September
9th, has been named as a suitable
date. State Superintendent of Pub
lie Schools Howard A. GaSS has deS-
ignated Saturday, September 4th, as
Cleanup Day" for all schools.
Boards, patrons, teachers and chill
dren are strongly urged to meet at
the school house AT 8 O'Clock a. IN.
and join in general house and yard
cleaning; Scour the floors, windows
and wood work; put outbuildings,
fences and grounds in order and,
above all, provide pure, wholesome
drinking water II is a good time
for teacher, patrons and pupils to get
acquainted.

Change in Road Law.

The principal change in the law at
the recent session of the Missouri leg
islature is that the position of county
highway engineer is made optional
with the counties. If no highway
engineer is appointed, the county
surveyor is required to fill the po-
sition.
A poll tax of not less than SO or
more than Sc may be assessed in each
county. This may be paid or worked
out on the roads. Dragging roads is

A Few Days in Butler.

A Review representative spent sew
eral days in Butler the latter part of
the week and met many old friends,
who seemed to vie with each other in
courtesy and hospitality. Those But
Ter fellows are a fine bunch even if
they can't "set 'em up to you as
they used to-though a few even
offered to divide their private
"SnackS. "
While in the town, the scribe visit
ed two of the solid financial institu-
tons of the county, viz: the. "Mis-
souri, State" and the peoples Bank"
realizing that if long detained he
might be obliged to enter upon nego-
tiations to tide him over. AT the
former, Col. Walton, the genial pres
ident and successful financier of both
the bank and its big adjunct, the
Walton Trust Company "a concern
doing business in half a dozen coun-
ties of this section and in oklahoma
personally conducted us through the
big vault electrically fortified against
burglars and other points of interest.
AT the other institution, Col. j. R.
jenkins extended similar attention.
Here were met also vice president
C. A. Lane and Cashier Wesley
Denton, both former popular Rich
Hill boys. They have a nice, well
kept bank and are making fine pro-
gress.
The county officers were all visit
ed, and, aside from the newspaper
men, were about the busiest people
in Butler, as the town at this season
like most others, is very quiet, but i!
steadily growing in attractiveness.

Thrown From Buggy.

Rev. r. w. Doty, accompanied by
his wife and child, while returning
from his charge at Leister's Church
last Sunday evening, met with an acci-
dent which made them all nervous
for several days thereafter, but which
fortunately, had no serious results.
After the afternoon service they re-
manned to supper with one Of the
members of the church, and started
to drive home in the evening. Just
this side of Burkholder's distillery
they met a team. To give 1t room TO
pass, Rev. Doty drove to one side OF
the road and in doing so ran upon a
pile OF stones, upsetting the buggy
and throwing the occupants to the
ground. The horse, spirited animal,
started to run, but the reverend gem
tleman hung on to the lines, and sue
ceeded in stopping him after being
dragged fifteen or twenty feet. None
of the occupants we're injured The
buggy top and parts Of the harness
were broken.
The road is one of those selected for
improvement by the Good Roads Com
mission. and the stone had recently
ben piled there in preparation for this
