ing up to it improve at once remark
ably. The presence of a good road is
educative and inspires to more road
building.
For instance, if the National high
way should follow the state highway
through Missouri it is likely that a
road from D5s MOines. Ia, would i'm
mediately be built to connect with the
highway somewhere in Missouri. Or
if the National road went through
Iowa, We in Missouri would build
roads from ST. Louis and from Kan
sas City to meet it.
Let's have the National road for its
permanent value and for the additional
roads which it would cause to be

Samples of the products and bi-pro-
ducts of great industries-petroleum

. The children assemble on Wednes-
| day mornings in this room. Each one
! brings a chair from the library or
class room This is an informal So
cial hour Humorous stories are told.
There are songs. poems and serious
talks.
No text books are used in the Ele-
mentary School. The broad, open
stairway leads to the library where
more than twelve hundred books with
many clippings from daily papers and
magazines give information for solv-
ing the problems which come up.
In one corner of the room four stu
dents are reading German with their
teacher They talk and Taught about
the interesting points which they read.
The teacher explains the peculiar eX-
pressions in common American terms.
The pupils of the upper grades are
studying the industries of real life
mining. numbering, farming. manufac-
turing. The younger workers learn
to use their hands. to sew and to make
learn to play games. to be companion
able-and incidentally to read and
write.
The three RS" in the Elementary
School are not studied by sitting at
uncomfortable desks all day long, por-
ing over fixed lessons from books.
The children are taught to look
around them, to observe life. They
learn by actually living and doing.
The pupils at the University Ele
mentary School have good fun at
school 1t is home to them. They talk
and laugh freely in their play. Even
in their work there is no constraint,
but they learn to stop talking if it is
annoying to others.
For ten minutes every afternoon is
the pause" brief rest. 1t is time
of relaxation and the pupils do any
thing they wish.
This school is not without system.
1t is laboratory for working out the
theories developed in the School of
Education. Here prospective Missouri
teachers receive their training. Be
cause of the limited room, a fee of so

Prof. j. l.. Merriam is superintendent
of the school. The University High

DEPARTMENT STORE PUBLICITY.

Consider the advertising pages of
many of the metropolitan dry goods
stores. Could a worse hodge podge
of insults to the eye and to the ar
tistic feeling be discovered than these
pages?
The art of advertising is steadily
advancing. but comparatively few are
the department stores that have fallen
into line and attempted to make their
advertising easy to read and to un-
derstand. Many department store ads
are written with no arrangement or
order whatsoever.
Much credit is due to those few
stores that have attempted to classify
their advertising and put parts of it
at least in the same sized type.
Department store advertising is of
far more importance to most women
than the run of the news, and justly
