Our Governor made a wonderful
admission last week before the
State Teachers Association. He
said Missouri ranks eighth in re-
gard to the number of school chill
dren, and that only six states had
a larger school fund raised by local
taxation and that only six states
have a larger number of school
buildings. That's a big admission
for Republican to make.-Clar-
