Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept, 9th
You are now beginning another
years work. There are some things
feel that | would like to talk about
reached the dawn OF q great awak-
ing Oar duty is to hasten its COM
ing and to leave no proper step Hn
taken tu make the fulfilment equal
the promise,
Two important amendments TO the
Constitution are to be voted on in
November 1t rests largely with YOU
to secure their enactment. Amend
ment No. adds year - the schoo!
life Of needy children in the cities
without expense to the State. Amend
ment No. 9 will furnish needed mo-
ney to promote many pressing wants
in the State. Advise Your friends
to vote for both.
The County Superintendents and
many other school men are now Stu(y
ing the wisest use for this mill tax
fund when it becomes available. Bet
ter buildings. better libraries. bet
ter sanitation, and better heating are
some of the things hoped for. More
rural high schools within reach OF
the rural boys and girls are neces-
sity if we would not train them away
from the farm by a town education.
These are all ends that may be hast
ened by the passage OF amendment
No. 3.
All teachers want their salaries to
more hearly approach their worth
Each should therefore strive to be
worth more | want to name, briefly,
few things tending in this direc-
ton.
Does the order of your school room
need nor improve? Discipline is val
liable as a means to an end and not
in itself Look to it.
Do YOU prepare Your lessons daily
or are you depending on last years
preparations?
Are YOU reading the Reading Cir
Gle books? You need them not only
for examinations but to keep abreast
OF the times.
Get the outbuildings cleaned up and
keep them so. Most Of the boys are
pure-minded and will help you to bet
ter the shocking conditions prevail
ing in SO many places.
Help TO improve the social condi
tons. In many places there is moth
ing uplifting going on You can help:
Get your pupils to give an occasional
entertainment. They will like it. 1t
will 90 them good and you too. The
program for the entertainment need
nothe elaborate and the parents will
gladly aid you Your community
needs leaders. Take hold now.

The hardest task OF the present
campaign in Missouri is carried on
the shoulders of Bro. Ben Deerlng,
who is in charge of the press hurean
of the Republican State Committee.
The reason the Job is so hard. is the
difficulty in keeping his press mat
ter in harmony with the conflicting
elements of the party. At first, be
fore the Progressive movement took
shape, Bro Deerins had little trou-
bile cooking up his editorial dope for
the party organs. All he had to dc
was to put in the regular" insredi-
ents and the usual harmony flavor,
and all was we'll But when Cover
nor Hadley went all spradled out af-
ter the Colonel. the dope began TO
be a reguiar-progressive mixture that
was difficult to reconcile with itself
and hard to assimilate. Now. since tn
Colonel was defeated at Chicago, Bro
Ben is in straits to keen from insult
ing the Governors convictions while
he softsoaps Mr.. Taft and throws the
editorial gaff into Roosevelt.
