MOOTHART BUSINESS COLLEGE
TO ENLARGE SCOPE.
New Strong School Man Joins the
Faculty.

The Moothart Business College of
Pennington is taking on a boom just
now. The Principals are planning to
increase the scope of the school, and
already plans are bei1fg laid whereby
the usefulness of the school will be
better made known and the field will
be so worked that larger results will
be sure to come in, the near future.
The main strong feature at this
time is the addition to the Faculty of
Prof L. F. Kinder He is school
man of wide experience and success,
who becomes partner in the business
of this institution, associating himself
with Messrs. Moothart & Beard. He
was educated at the Missouri State
Normal, Cape Girardeau, which In
stitution he attended four years, and
holds State certificate. He gradu-
ated from the Interstate School of
Chicago, an affiliation of the North
Western University, in 1908, and lat
er graduated from the famous Gem
City Business College, Quincy, I'll.
Prof. Kinder is a Southeast Missou-
rian, having been raised in Wayne
county. His chosen profession was
that of teaching which he has follow
ed earnestly and successfully during
the past nine years, being regarded
as one of the strongest teachers in
this section of the State.
He has held Principalships in some
of the best High Schools of Southeast
Missouri, having been Principal at
Morehouse and Piedmont. He took
up commercial teaching later, and has
been actively engaged in this profess
sion for the past two years, having
been with the Platt Commercial Col
lege, St. Joseph, Missouri, an old and
celebrated school of the Middle West.
His coming to Pennington places him
within reach of his friends in South
east Missouri, who are now in a po-
sition to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity offered by his years of labor
and preparation for this speciality
work.
Prof. Kinder is young man, strict
ly speaking, vigorous and active, pos
sessing manly qualities, noble bearing,
and refinement. He is friendly, So
ciable, big-hearted, and possessed of
the rare good qualities of meeting and
pleasing people.
He and Mrs. Kinder are members
of the M. E. Church, and Mr.. Kinder
is a member of the Masonic Frater-
nifty.
President Moothart has informed
the Editor of The Times that the or
ganization of this partnership
means a bigger, better school for
Pennington than he has been able to
give during the past ten years that
he has labored so faithfully in our
midst. In view of such, he asks the
active, hearty cooperation of all pro-
gressive citizens so that the Mooth-
art Business College may next year
double its enrolment. The present
arrangement gives to Prof. Moothart
more time and opportunity to do field
work, looking after the interests and
general welfare of the school and its
graduates, something that has been
needed to a much larger extent than
it has been possible for the former
management to carry out.
So in view Of the facts presented in
this article, The Times is Of the opin-
ion that the future interest of this
valuable training school will be pro-
NOTED in every way, and feels conf
dent that all who are interested in
the future welfare of Pennington,
will earnestly and heartily aid in
whatever way is possible to further
the interests Of the school that has
already trained hundreds of young
men and young women who are today
out in positions, drawing lucrative
salaries, apd making success of
their special training. What these
