made that statement. AS matter
of fact, 1t is only half true. There
are in the world many kind, pure
hearts and noble minds; not a day
passes without some manifesto
tion of beautiful self-sacrifice,
splendid patience, celestial fidel-
ity to duty and sweet lnanifasta-
ton of unselfsh love. There
must be evil, to illustrate good,
but in art, and especially in
dramatic art, it must be wisely
selected. The spectacle of virtue
in human character and lowell
ness in human life will accomplish
far more for the benefit of society
than ever can be accomplished by
the spectacle of vile propensity
and vicious conduct, the proceed
ings of drabs, the seething cor
ruption of the slums, or the aber-
rancy of mental disease. Sunshine
and flowers are more propltlous
than darkness and weeds. 1t has
been we'll said that the knowl-
edge of human nature which is ex-
elusive of what is good in it is as
shallow and imperfect as that
which is exclusive of what is evil

Leemon deserves special men

this record in attendance speaks
well for the school. The teach
ers and pupils of this place seem
to have the habit of doing
things. The people of this dis

the investment, and they are
justly proud of their school.

OLD SOLDIERS, ATTENTION

Any old soldier who made a
homestead entry of 40, so or 100
acres in any State in the Union
before the year 1874 has a claim
coming to him from the Govern
ment provided he has never sold
this right or taken up another
homestead.
1t does not make any differ
ence whether he proved up on
his original homestead entry or
simply left it.
A soldier who never made a
homestead entry, or one who en-
tered land after June %, 1874,
has nothing to sell.
We buy these claims. The
widow or heirs of a soldier can
also sell these rights.

Dear Editor
Some information relative to
the schools of Cape Girardeau
county will probably be Of inter
est to many readers.
There are one hundred and
forty teachers in actual service
in the county at present 126
white and Ii colored). Cape
Girardeau and Jackson are not
under the supervision Of the
County Superintendent because
they have their own superin-
tendents experimenting half or
more Of their time. There, in
my opinion. has never been a
time when these two cities were
a. proud of their schools and
had such hopes for their future
as now.
Prof. JOAN Laidlaw, with an
efficient corps of twenty-nine
teachers. has charge OF the Cape
Girarlcau schools. Ii is very
evident t. even an 1llooko'. and
much more so 70 one who is in
tpra-t4l arnrol 10 visit and SEQ

Prof. J. u. Goodiu, with
twelve able assistants, is doing
for Jackson schools that which
has never been done before.
The remaining ninety-seyen
teachers are under the superyis.

that should be made in the
schools Of the county. TSey arC
in my judgment far from what
they should be. However, be.
lieve that they will compare ia.
vorably with the schools of Other
counties in this section of the
State. But this is not enough
they should he in the very fore
front. The schools should keen
abreast with the other develop
ment of the county. If teachers
are accorded the support due
them, | \believe the schools of
the county will be revolutionized
in a few years. The present sit
uation is to me very encourag-
ing.
There are fourteen schools in
the county, including Cape and
Jackson, that employ two or
more teachers. With these
schools to work from, some good
results can be obtained. The
schools outside of the two cities
that have two or more teachers
are: Oak Ridge, Pocahontas,
Millerville, Tilsit, Burfordville,
Whitewater, Gordonville. Allen
vile, Rumbranch, Indian Creek,
Egypt Mills and Leemon.
Generally speaking, these
twelve schools are taught by
efficient and earnest teachers.
The undivided support of these
twenty-six teachers, with the
help Cape and Jackson are ready
to give, would be a powerful
factor in putting system into
the rural schools. l believe that
| shall receive the undivided sun
port of these twelve schools.
If space would permit, would
like to go into detail, telling
what saw of each of these
schools. The thing | saw that
will have most effect on the
schools was the attitude of the
