CONSIDER MISSOURI,

need not travel farther across the bor-

amples OF public work,
It is quite significant that the people
Of Missouri should take first rank in
this form Of public enterprise, for II is
not to slander its people to state that
It had long been known that within iCs
borders were wore different kinds Of
bad roads and the most fearful
stretches Of highway to be encoun-
tered anywhere in the United States.
And what Is more to be remarked, the
average Missourian Of a decade ago
could be imagined possible. If the
roads were too bad to De traversed
with team and wagon, then astride a
horse was good enough and no COM
planning. If the highways were 100 bad
for even this form Of travel, then there
was no mode of locomotion regarded
as quite equal to foot travel, and sans
shoes and stockings many miles would
be covered rapidly and cheerfully.
But when the awakening came 1t was
q mighty one. Laws Of the most
strtngent character have but recent
ly been adopted in Missouri and now,
in many communities. it is a sign OF
degeneracy for a farmer TO permit a
Bit of bad road to continue long in his
vicinity. Good roads have become
matter of state pride and single glory,
ana the states progress in good road
making has been most remarkable.
Good roads are the farmers special
responsibility. He is in charge. 1t is
up to him to boss the job.

MOORE vs.. HOLDEN.

The attack OF Representative Moore
upon the character and work OF Pro-
fessor Holden OF Ames. just before the
close of our last session OF the gen

an attempt to vent personal spite work

Men of Exceptional Ability.

About fifteen years ago. when a strik-
ing increase of interest in education be-
gan to appear in the Sivas field. two men
of exceptional ability as teachers became
associated in its conduct. Mr.. Baiosian.
a graduate of the normal school, return
ed after completing his course Of study
in Central Turkey College, and soon MIR.
Kaba jan came from Anatolia College to
join him. Many good things from these
strong colleges were thus introduced into
the school, and it was due in no small
degree to the cooperation of these two
men that 1t began to progress rapidly.
The number of students grew in few
years from twenty to 40, greatly
overcrowdlng the building, which had
been enlarged to its fullest capacity.
The educational system which has been
developed by the missionaries in Sivas
includes about 1900 pupils, of whom 900
are in the city of Sivas and under their
direct care; two-thirdS are in the lower
grades, $40 are boys. of whom about 100
are in the normal school.
The Turkish officials are making SIREN
uous efforts to establish thorough COM
pulsory educational system for all classes
of Ottoman subjects. They are having
the same difficulty that China expert
enced when a few years ago that govern
ment set about to build up compre-
hensive system Of education for her peo-
pie and found that she did not have
teachers competent to do the work re-
quired. There has been a great reaction
in China for that reason, and new Tur-
key is now facing exactly the same prob
lem. The minister of public instruction
and his associates are convinced that
there must be q system Of general edu-
cation in Turkey in order to make con-
stitutional and representative govern
ment safe and stable. And how are
they to secure teachers with proper
al.o
workp The Turkish schools hitherto
have not provided them, and the Ameri-
can colleges, although filled with stu
dents fol. the last twenty years. have
not been able to turn out more than
fraction of the number required to sup
plv the Turkish national schools, to say
nothing of the demands of private in
