QUESTION OF ORGANIZATION TO
SECURE BETTER WAGES TO
BE TAKEN UP.
TO MEET IN ST. LOUIS NOV. 6
Plan Defeated at Jefferson City Meet.
ing Of County Superintendent by
Prof. Kirk viii Be Revised at
Teachers Session.

jefferson City to the
estimates of State Superintendent of
Schools w. Z. Evans. there will be
more Missouri school teachers in at
tendance at the annual meeting of
the State Teachers association in
81. Louis, Nov. G, and 8, than there
ever was before.
This will be due in part to the efforts
Of the officers of the association to en-.
/ large the membership and partly to
the realization by those engaged in
school work that beneficial legislation
along educational lines can be only
/ brought about by cooperation.
st the session of the County Super.
in'endents held in jefferson City last
May strong effort was made 10 bring
grout the unionization Of teachers for
he purpose Of bringing about higher
efficiency and larger salaries The ef-
tort AT That time fell through because
Of the strong opposition of Prof. John
t. Kirk. head Of the Kirksyille State
Normal School, who opposed It on the
Gtound that each teacher should stand
on his or her professional merits when
It came to the question of salary.
There Is said to be a strong scnti-
rcnt existing among teachers
throughout the State favorable to the
formation Of union that will bring
about better pay for them.
When the proposition was consid-
cred last May one of the advocates
Of such q union made the statement
that it was a shame to civilization of
Missouri that average wages paid
school teachers are not equal TO the
earnings Of hodCarrier.
Il Is possible that the sentiment IA
vorablc to the organization of union
among the teachers will take definite
shape and will be put through at the
ST. Louis meeting
An extremely interesting feature OF
the programme will be the excursions
to points of interest personally con.
Quoted by school men and women of
the city. These excursions are SEIZED.
uled for Thursday Friday and Satur-
day afternoons.

Hitch MAY Delay Capitol.

Jefferson City.-Unless the state
capitol commission modifies its stone
specifications with reference TO
crows feet and sutures" it may be
impossible to construct the new state
capitol Of Missouri limestone. for
which the Law provides. and this

people and delay the construction of
the capitol for two. years. A delega.
ton of Missouri building stone men
appeared before the capitol commits

the limestone specification. They
pointed out that the retention of the
present specification would cause the
