Academy. This is one of the old
est and best known educational in
stitutions in North Missouri and
many noted men were educated at
Van Rensselaer, Academy. and nev.
er in the history of the school has
it Lcen in better hands than at pres
ent. Rev. j. E. Travis and his able
assistants do all in their power for
the advancement, mentally and
morally, of those under their care.
But back to the corner stone
laying. 1t was under the auspices
Of Hannibal's Lodge No. 1888, and
St. Johns Lodge No. %, A F. &
A. M Quite a number of Masons
from Hannibal, Palmyra, Monroe
and other places. were present and
marched to the new building. Jacob
Lampert, Grand Master of Missouri,
acted as Grand Master. He was as
sisted by j. r. Mclaughlin, Grand
lecturer. District Deputy BiGgers
and others. The ceremony was very
impressive and those present gave
close attention.
Rev. Keiter of Hannibal made
TIE address. Rev. Ely of Hannibal,
was to have spoken for the school
but threatening weather caused this
part of the program to be omitted
much to the regret of all present as
Rev. Ely has the reputation of being
an able, fluent speaker.
A. A. Nelson, James Mcfarland,
W. E. Yowell and W. j. Rouse went
to Rensselaer, Monday to take part
in the laying of the corner stone Of
the Van Rensselaer, Academy. Ray
Yowell took the boys down in the
Yowell car. The trip was made
pleasantly. Ray is one of the best
drivers of this vicinity and all en-
ljoyed the trip as well as the refresh
ments served by the good ladies of
Rensselaer, and vicinity. The menu
consisted of fried chicken, salads.
country ham, sandwiches of various
kinds, pies. preserves. cake, Ice
cream, ice tea, and IN fact every
thing good to eat. The occasion
was greatly enjoyed by all present.
The following is from the Hanni-
bal Journal:
The new academy building will
be two.story pressed brick struc-
ture with a basement and will con-
tain twelve rooms. The furnace
room. the coal bins and the manual
training department will occupy the
basement. The first floor will con-
tain three recitation rooms, toilet
and cloak rooms and the principals
office. On the second floor will be
situated three recitation rooms, the
library and laboratory. The build
ing when completed, will cost some
thing over $4,000. Work on the
new building was begun a few
weeks ago and will be completed in
time for the opening of the next
term of school in September.
History of the Academy.
Van Rensselaer, academy was es-
tablished in 1851 and was named
after DR.. Van Rensselaer,, of New
York who was, at that time, secre-
tary of the board of education of
the Presbyterian church. For awhile
the school flourished and then some
several years of depression. The
academy was re-organized in 1905
and since that time has grown and
fiourished. Rev. Travis who is at
the head of the institution, is a
| thoroughly consecrated Christian
gentleman and is devoting his life
tO the educational work Trulv ha

Why We Are For Missouri.

sour Commercial clllbi and It is a
good slogan For Missouri is a good
state 10 be for, a better state to be
for than to be from, If the people
of this country only knew all Mis-
souri, has to offer its population
would treble in five years, and il all
Missourians themselves would COM
pare it, advantage for advantage,
with other places OH earth they
would never want to leave it.
What is it you want when you
choose a place in which to make
your home and live your life? Is it
location? Then Missouri has it. Mis-.
souri, is right in the heart of the
greatest country on earth, right in
the heart of the belt of prosperity
and plenty, the very hub of the ma
ton, connected with the rest of the
world by two great rivers and more
great lines of railraOd than any
other mid, western commonwealth.
Is it soil? Then Missouri has it, as
the great crops Missouri raises every
year abundantly prove. Is it eli
mate? Then Missouri has it, for the
people of Missouri are long lived
and healthy and hearty. Is it beau
ty? Then Missouri has it, from the
sweet meadows and far-stretched
golden fields and shady lanes of its
northern and central regions to the
unsurpassed loveliness of the Ozarks
and the fruit country. Is it mar
kets? Then Missouri has them,
great and ever growing gateways of
commerce both within and without
its borders, all in easy reach. Is it
resources? Then Missouri has them
inexhaustible soil, coal, lead, zinc
and hundreds less important. Is it
industries? Then Missouri has them,
for its central location and trans
portation advantages make it the
ideal place for industries.
But, most of all if it is neighbors.
For the most part, Missourians are
descended from those honest, brave
God-fearing pioneers who came from
Tennessee and Kentucky and Vir-
einia. Up the river from New Or
leans came the adventurous French
and the chivalry of the old South
mingled with the chivalry of old
France. In later years Germany
has sent thousands of its stalwart,
dependable sons and daughters, and
good farmers from Iowa and Illinois
have fiocked to this land of greater
promise.
1t is all fine, honorable stock, and
Missouri has grown great in accord,
ance. 1t is peopled by an induStri-
Gus, honest and right loving people
who have made its history glorious
and will make its future more elor-
ious.
Missouri is a land of good citizens.
That is why it's comingt to be known
more and more as a land of good
schools and good churches, of good
homes and good neishbors, of good
laws and good roads, of good farm
ers and good towns. of good times
and good prospects. And that is
why we are for Missouri, Higgins
vile Jeffersonian.
