chant vessel. which some thought might
have been mistaken for a cruiser. The
iuspector was closeted with the two Of
hcers Of the Tibagy and an interpreter
for more than an hour. He refused 10
discuss their testimony. but they later
talked through a third person.
Captain Soares, of the Tibagy, declsr-
ed he signaled no vessel within the
czpes. that he did not sight the Louis
lana. nor did he carry blinker lights.
through which. persons aboard the
l.oufsfana aver. came the signal English
cruiser" The only lights on board be-
sides his regular signals for a merchan.
ship within the capes. he declared. were
electric bulbs on his mast behind a
board out of which were cut the letters
forming the word Brazil. He was of the
opinion that these letters could have
been mistaken for bIinker lights. He
ssw some vessel signaling MIN with the
Morse code. he thought. but as il was

1rtempt was made to reply to IL

Roach as a
School Man

Cornelius Roach, now candidate for
Governor, when boy attended a one
room rural school two miles from
home, until he had finished the eighth
grade. He rode horseback morning
and evening, seven miles from his ia
theirs farm to the county seat to pro-
cure his high school training. On grad
uation therefrom, he taught coun-
try school for two years, and then
was principal for four years of the
high school from which he graduated.
He served for several years as a
member of the Board of Education at
Carthage. While a member, largely
through his influence and the agrees
siveness of the Carthage Daily Demo-
crat, which he owned and edited, a
bond issue for the construction of a
modern high school was voted in a
town of less than ten thousand peo-
Pile. Out Of this high school two of
his oldest children graduated, one new
er having been absent or tardy from
the day she entered the primary till
she graduated from the high school
Shortly after his election as Secre-
tary of State, he was made chairman
of a Citizens Committee in Jefferson
City, to conduct campaign for the
issuing of bonds with which to erect
a S75,000.00 high school, that amount
being the maximum of the school dis
trict's bond issuing power. A pro-
position for bonds of half this amount
had twice been defeated, but under the
aggressive and energetic leadership
for better schools the $75,000.00 pro-
position was carried to success by
more than a five to one vote. Out of
this high school two of his children
have graduated, two are taking high
school course, one viii graduate next
year and another will enter as a
freshman.
His two oldest children have finish
ed courses at the State University in
Columbia, third is now junior
there, and next year another will en-
ter the University.
If there is a man in Missouri any
more thoroughly identified with the
public schools than Secretary of State
Cornelius Roach, or who has done any
more for them than he, an account of
his efforts would make interesting
reading.
One of Missouri's most prominent
educators, recognized authority on
educational matters and problems,
writes as follows:
"My experience with you (Mr.
Roach) in the county superintend-
ents' meetings and elsewhere has led
me to see that you have better hold
upon the problems of the schools of
Missouri than has any other public
man whom | know. / have stated this
fact to school people upon a good many
occasions, and | shall do so in the fu-
ture".
