Resolutions on the Death
of Brother Amos Board.

Whereas, 1t has pleased God i'll His
infinite wisdom, and in obedience to the
divine law, to call from our midst our
friend and brother, Amos Board, who be-
came a member of this lodge in 1902, and
Whereas, We recognize III Bro. Board,
one who was always loyal and true to his
friends, one who on all occasions was
ready to speak word in defense and on
behalf of absent friends when uncharit-
able or unkind things were said about
them in his presence. So devoted was
he that often he would incur the dis
pleasure of some one rather than let an
unkind remark about others go unchal-
lenged. He was always generous and
kind, courageous and fearless.
Resolved, That this lodge has lost a
brother, who was always devoted to its
best interest and faithful to its precepts
and teachings; the community, a.citizen
who was public spirited and always
ready, to the extent of his ability, to do
what he considered to its best interest;
his employer, valued and faithful EN-
ploye; every citizen of the town and
community, kind friend; and his fam
lily, a considerable and affectionate hus-
band and brother.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That this
lodge extend to his bereaved wife our
sincerest and heartfelt sympathy; that
copy of these resolutions be spread upon
our minute book, one furnished to his
wife and one each to The Breckenridge
News and The Record Press for publica-
ton.

THE NEW BOOKS
constructive Studies.s

Until recent years biblical study
has confined itself to the material
found in the Bible itself. With the ad-
vent of the graded Bible schools and
the tendency to interpret the Bible in
terms of the life of the people at the
time it was written, the whole method
of Bible study has been changed. A
great deal Of emphasis is now placed
upon the collateral reading which
furnishes the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
cal, historical, social, economic and
which is so necessary to a
proper understanding of the Bible
narrative. These new methods have
given rise to a whole mass of litera-
ture for use in Bible study, from that
designed for kindgarten work to
that applicable for older children or
adults.
Such series is Constructive Stud
ies," a collection of books by various
authors, issued in uniform edition by
the University of Chicago Press. The
first volume, THE Introduction to the
Bible for Teachers of Children" is by
Georgia Louise Chamberlin. 1t con-
tains an outline of the methods most
successful in the teaching of begin
ners, with list of subjects best suited
for juvenile study. The influence of

A PLACE FOR DANIEL BOONE

The selection of Daniel Boone's
name to fill one of the new inches in
the Hall of Fame brings little thrill
of pride to residents of Columbia and
the county named after the great pic
neer.
Almost a century ago he roamed
over the central Missouri prairies. He
fished for the perch and the catfish
In our streams, hunted the wild
beasts and the deer in our woodlands
and camped in the clearings on the
banks of our streams. Perhaps ne
played hide and seek with our In
dians, who occasionally roamed these
parts.
He blazed the way for the settlers
who followed into Missouri They
liked it, as Boone had liked it, and
the settlement of Central Missouri
dates from that time. Later, when
this valley became more thickly
sprinkled with settlers cabins and
young and struggling towns, it was
entirely proper and fitting that the
settlers should name their county af-
ter the great pioneer who blazed the
trail for them and who chose Missou
ri as his last happy hunting ground"
Likewise it is fitting that he should
be chosen now as one of the great
Americans to occupy a niche in :he
Hall of Fame. Other pioneers we
have had, sturdy and strong, who
have carved our homes from the will
derness; but to Daniel Boone, the
pioneer of pioneers and master Of
them all, Americans in general-and
Boone County Missourians in partic-
ular-should give the word of praise.

THE WAR AND IMMIGRATION

immigration to the United States
has fallen of SO rapidly since the be-
ginning of the European war that DR.
Frederick C. Howe, commissioner OF
immigration at the port of New York
fears that, If the war continues much
longer, immigration will cease AMI
the drift of population will be re-
yersed.
One year after the opening of the
war, immigration to the port of New
York, the main gateway of the nation,
had dropped from 100000 a month to
5000 a month. In the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1914. 1.00s.75o immi-
grants entered that port The report
for the year ending June 30. 1915.
shows only 243,37o immigrants. with
the monthly number steadily dimin-
ishing.
These figures indicate that the war
already has had deterrent effect
upon immigration to the United
States. How further It will affect the
influx of foreigners to this coun-
try can be surmised. The an
swer probably will depend upon
the question at the close Of the
war, of whether the dearth Of labor
in the European countries will make
wages higher there or the excess o;
carital in the United States will make
wages higher here. The flow of i'm
migration probably will be to that
country which offers the highest
wages.
