Howard A. Gass, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, stat
ed that agricultural products and
stock are not the greatest assets
of the State, but that men constl-
tute the State s most important re-
suits, and that he was delighted by
the great showing of the Common
wealth along the line of agricul-
ture as set forth in speeches by the
Governor and other orators of the
week, but disappointed by the cur
sorry mention given educational in-
terests.
Mr., Gass declared that central
ICED or consolidated rural districts
are the best means for insuring
greater efficiency in educational
advancement,
"If the boy or girl cannot go to
the high school" said the speaker
"take the high school to him.
"our present system is weak
Under the proper and logical sys-
tenn Of consolidated districts and
centralized high schools, it would
not be necessary for the farmer de
string an education for his child
rem, to sell or rent his farm, ant
at a financial loss move to town t.
get within reach of the bette
schools He would have the higl
school at hand"
Mr., Gass stated that the central
lied school Is not only much NOR
efficient, but is cheaper. Under tn
present system, he said, but 5 pc
cent of the 100000 school childre
of the State ever pass from tn
grades to the high school. II

the court house who dealt at some
length with the above subject anil
who undertook to prove that the
soul is to remain in the grave, or,
as he expressed it, Gin the land of
the enemy" till the second coming
of Christ.
He said that it would be a farce
for God to call soul back from
Paradise and judge it and then
send it back again after He hal
already admitted it there. Let us
see.
Why has God appointed a day
of judgment?
1t is not that He may find out
the secrets of mans life. He
knows these already; but God will
have every man pass in review
before the assembled hosts of
heaven and earth and hell, AMI
the record of his life will be mad
known there so that all may Sc,
why God has dealt with him ~
He has. God will thus vindicat,
himself; for all will be forced t.
acknowledge that man has receiv-
ed at Gods hand that which HI
life's work merited. This seems Il
us to be the very essence Of wi.
dom rather than foOlishness, as
the speaker charged.
On the other hand we fail e.
see anything like the great wisdom
and goodness of God in shuttir.; 3;
up a soul in a dark, dismal gra'
for thousands and thousands It
ears when that soul has becOTH
entitled to eternal joy and gla j.
ness by a life of faith and obedi
ence
What would you think of an
earthly father VINO promised h:i
child a splendid reward for tha
faithful performance of certain
task. who. when the task was done.
instead of giving the promised re-
ward, would shut up the child in
dismal prison for long term of
years? Yet this was the idea the
lecturer gave us of God. If this
is the true idea it is indeed fear
full thing to fall into the hands Of
the living God. Heb. 10: 81.
What do the Scriptures say!
Moses died and was buried in the
land of Maob. Deuteronomy "a:
Sc. Did Moses stay in that grave!
him on the mount of transfigura-
ton many centuries later very
much alive Luke 9:28-32.)
joyed before the resurrection anl
Since God did not keep Moses
in the grave. and since He is no re-
, Specter of persons, what right have
we to say that He keeps every one
else in the grave?
| Did Paul think he was going t.
spend long centuries in the grave
e. waiting for admission into heaven?
= Most assuredly not, for he said he
D had a desire to depart and be with
D Christ phil. l :23). and Paul knew
Q that Christ was in heaven where
he had gone from the Mount of o.
Lives. See Acts :9-ll. This pres
: ence with the Lord was to be en-
= ioyed before the resurrection and
> while he was absent from the body
See II. Cor. 5 IS.
In regard to the millennium, the
v lecturer gave us nothing new. As
II people of his faith have set Sc
many times for our Lord to come
and He did not come, we are In
a clined to rest on the Scripture
1t which says, "But of that day and
4 hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels of heaven, but my father
only" Matt. "a ;36.
III We believe the safest plan TO-
b. our people is to read the Bible an
l. do their own thinking.

of agricultural education as ap-
piled to grade and high scholls.
The speaker devoted the most

Of the model school erected by the

ment of directors Of district
schools for their apathy regarding
facilities for educating the child
rem of their patrons. He drew a
sordid picture of conditions exist
ing in the average rural district.
"There are too many $4,000
horses and bulls being raised n
Missouri, he said, "and too many
50-cent boys.
Many in this audience are pay
ing out money now for the relief
of catarrh contracted in the dee
strict school of their boyhood. "

tion of the cheap school-teacher,

MISSOURI, HURRY.
Come Down to the Front Seat
Clark, Gass and Kirk Speak.

Moberly, Mo-, Sept. 8.-If Champ
Clark needed to say anything to
square himself with the people Of
Missouri he has said it now. This
afternoon he promised a cheering,
yelling audience at the "Show
You" congress that if he were
elected speaker he would drive a
pair of Missouri mules down Penn
sylvania Avenue.
Mr.. Clark s part in tOday's pro-
gram was to welcome home all
Missourans who had strayed from
the fold, but have repented and
come back. He welcomed them
all right, but was inclined to in
quire what the dickens they ever
went away for. He just couldn't
understand why any man should
want to leave Missouri which he
said is warm enough for comfort,
and cold enough for virtue"
Another thing Mr.. Clark was in
clined to be dissatisfied with and
that was the fact that although
Missouri had done more than Mas
sachusetts toward the Nation, Mas
sachusetts has written the history
of it. What is needed now, he said
is a new history Of the country, a
new dictionary and a new ency-
clopedia of biography,
eff a traveller from Mars should
light in Boston and read the in
scriptions on the monuments, he
declared, che would think Massa-
chusetts had started and fought
the Revolutionary war all alone
and had been running the country
ever since"
The new history, the new dlctlon'
airy and the new biographies all
should be written in Missouri and
by Missourians, Mr.. Clark declar'
ed, and to start the thing right he
lis to lead off with new life ol
