REPORT FROM THE
STATE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION

County Superintendent Of schools
w. G. Johnson is in receipt of let
from the Missouri Department OF Ed
ucation, jefferson City regarding the
school situation in this County along
certain lines. This letter suggests
that one Of the measures of efficiency
of the schools is the percentage OF
pupils Of school age that attend
school. Audrain county stands 18th
in attendance, based on enrolment.
This condition should be improved
without any trouble When it comes
to attendance based on enumeration
Audrain stands twenty-seyenth, lead
ing eighty seven counties below US
This is not as good showing as Au
drain could make. Superintendent
Johnson is very anxious fol
lAudrain to rank among the first In
stead of among the 18th or twenty
seventh. II our teachers and pupils
Twin cooperate with Prof. johnson
lAudrain will stand much nearer tn
Itop when next years report is made.

WHAT about the ordinance which
was to be passed regarding the in
surance companies license. The pro
perty owners of Mexico are paying
hundreds of dollars extra for insur-
ance in order that the Insurance com
panies may pay few dollars for q
license. The companies, of course
don't object to the license because
that enables them to charge a mucf
larger rate. If the Commercial Cluf
would look into this proposition, they
will find by a little figuring thai
the companies get dollars from thu
property owners where they pay cent
to the city for licnse. A little inves
tigation and publicity might properl'
adjust this matter. The property ow
ers should pay no more extra for In
surance than the companies pay tn
city for license

The Democrats had counted throue
