HERE'S AN IDEA.
A New Route for the State High
way Thru Audrain.

The Vandalia Leader contained
the following interesting item last
week:
Geo. Adams has new route
marked out for the State highway
to run thru Audrain that ne
thinks would arouse more interest
in the subject, especially among
the east end residents. The road,
as scheduled, comes into Nandalia
from the north, turns west at the
Lacrosse office, and gives the
town a tleeting glance Of a flying
passes by. If the road, thinks Mr..
Adams, could be run down Main
street to the boulevard, west
down the mile of boulevard,
thence south in a direct line. four
and a half miles to Pleasant
Plains Baptist church, it would
then reach a point in the exact
center of the east end. No resi-
dent of this part of Audrain
would be more than six miles
from the highway, a fact that
would eliminate the present pre-
vailing disinclination to pay tax
es on the highway. The road as
now mapped out runs parallel
with the northern boundary of
the state and in close proximity
to it, then drops in Laddonia. The
route if changed as Mr.. Adams
suggests, would run from Pleas
ant Plains church due west,
twelve miles, to Laddonia, where
it would touch the main line.
From Laddonia it maintains a
central course thru the county.
The county, Mr.. Adams thinks,
should build the road and the tax
payers pay for it. The rock road
highway is now built from ST
Louis north to Louisiana, west to
Bowling Green. and we under
stand within a short distance to
Curryville. A short distance of
it goes across the corner of Rails
just north of Vandalia.

Denny preached to large audi
ence, from the theme, David, a
Man After Gods Own Heart. -
He pictured David in his youth
when he was humble before God
Then he had a black picture Of
him after he began to climb the
slippery steps of fame A full
cup is a hard thing to carry.
David fell, and God condemned
him. He became a murderer and
adulterer But when Nathan
pointed his finger at him and
said, "Thou are the man." then
was David's conscience smitten
and he confessed his sins and beg
ged forgiveness. And that was
the point where God took him up
again, "as a man after his own
heart. "

LET IT COME
TO MISSOURI.
WHAT THEY ARE DOING FOR
THE CHILDREN IN KAN
SAS.
Township High Schools, Educa-
tional and Social Centers.

Nothing is too good for the
boys and girls of the rural dis
tricts. That S what they think i'll
Kansas and that S what we must
come to in Missouri.
Read below what they are do
ing in the Sundower State:
Topeka, March De. 7. Fair
child, state superintendent of
public instruction, has returned
from the dedication of the first
Kansas township high school. The
new school is in Spring township,
Harper county, and 1t Is the first
tangible expression of the idea
that the country school boy and
girl are entitled to as good an
education as the city boy and girl.
Mr.. Fairchild has been urging the
improvement of the rural schools
for five years he has been i'll
office and he worked thru the
1911 legislature a bill which pro-
vided for township high schools.
Heretofore cities only have had
high schools and these made a
charge for country pupils who de
sired to attend, Then the county
high schools were established in IA
few counties, but attendance at
these schools necGssitated long
drives or being away from home
all winter for the country chill
dren.
The problem was to get high
schools right at the homes of the
boys and girls and Mr.. Fairchild
solved this by persuading the leg
islature to enact the law which
enabled the townships to build
high schools of their own. Then
the high schools could be located
within three or four miles of
every pupil in the township.
The township high schools are
required to teach all the usual
high school courses preparatory
for any state college and also
specialize in agriculture and farm
problems. Spring township, in
Harper county, on the edge of the
short grass country and once
part of the "Great American
Desert" is the first to take adj
vantage Of the new law.
The building is of brick and
cost $4,000.
A basement about twenty-five
by sixty feet, with an 18-foot cell
ing, is provided for gymnasium
work and basket ball contests.
and a part Of the basement will
probably be used for manual
training. A large room suitable
for domestic science instruction
has been provided. Five acres of
ground surround the building
and afford ample space for dem
onstration work of the classes in
agriculture.
1t is proposed that the new
school shall not only be an edu-
cational center for the township,
but civic and social center as
well. An auditorium seating
nearly three hundred has been
provided, in which it is expected
to have plays, lecture courses,
political and literary meetings
and farmers institutes.
