To Erect Highway Markers.

Fulton.-The markers TO be erected
at historic spots on the cross-state
highway were shipped last week and
all will be dedicated during the week
of Oct. 20, by which time they will be
erected.
Five markers are to be erected In
this county. The first will be at the
site OF the old Drovers' Inn, kept In
pioneer days by Joseph Eyerhart on
his farm east of Williamsburg. The
next will be at the old Grant stage
stand, on the farm OF Emmett Grant,
east of williamsburg. A marker will
be erected on the site Of Jones tan
yard, on Auxvasse creek, west OF Cal
wood. and another will be erected in
Fulton on the lot on which the Bap-
fist church stands. The fifth marker
will be erected In the village of Mil
lersburg, in front OF the house Of
Thomas Miller, who founded the town
In 1929.
The determination to erect the
markers on the route OF the cross
state highway ends the controversy
among the members Of the commit
tee of the Daughters OF the American
Revolution as to where the markers
shall be put. An effort was made in
Kansas City to have the markers in
this county placed along the original
route of the Boones Lick trail, but
failed.
Appropriate exercises will be held
at each OF the markers on the day Of
the dedication. The program for the
exercises in the various counties will
be arranged by committee OF the
local chapter of the d. 4. X.

To Serve Without Pay.

Prof Melcher says the county
boards, in his opinion, should be com.
posed of five men, selected by the
people without regard to politics. Men
should be elected to these boards who
are Interested In school development,
he says, and who are willing to serve
without pay for the advancement OF
the schools.
This board should be given power,
he believes, TO supervise school archi-
lecture in the several counties, SO
that the people OF a district will get
the best value for their money ex.
pended in new buildings.
Two states have adopted the county
board Of education plan, these being
Tennessee and Maryland, and other
states have the creation OF such
boards under consideration.
Other subjects which probably will
be urged by the association in its
resolutions are better roads and bet.
ter methods of farming, and estab-
llshment Of rural high schools.
THE teachers of Missouri are do
ing all they can to prevent further
immigration to the cities at the ey.
pense of the FARMS" said Prof. Mel.
cher.
More and more stress is being
laid upon the study of scientific agri.
culture In the schools, and some at
tention has been directed to the ne.
cessity Of better roads. To make
farm life more attractive to the boys
and girls now attending the public
schools of the state Is one of tae edu.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1913-10-09
To Better Country Life.

Better roads, better rural schools,
numerous rural high schools and bet.
ter methods of agriculture will arrest
the drift of people to the cities, in my
opinion.
MANY people move to the cities to
educate their children; some remove
TO the cities because of the lonesome.
ness and isolation of the country, this
condition being largely due to bad
roads. Some move because they find
agriculture Improbable. The teach.
ers are trying to help solve these
problems by giving attention to them
in the public schools"
