to thank you for sending me copy
of it."
The concluding paragraphs of the
discussion of the Attenuation System
are as follows:
"For example, in a school we find
three pupils who will be ready to
graduate at the close of 1919, and
four others who will spend another
year, or graduate in 1920. The teach
err should call these seven pupils to
recite together in arithmetic, and
since the work outlined for 1888
is "mensuration" and for 1920 is
percentage and its applications"
there will be no difficulty in keeping
the groups together in this work.
Call the same pupils for the gram
mar and do the work in technology
and parts of speech" in 1918-19 and in
"syntax and analysis" in 1890.
Teachers should make it clear to pu-
pills that each Of the "A", "B" and
&C" classes has two years of work,
and that the course is so arranged that
either of these years Of work may be
taken up first. Emphasize the class
es A, B, C and D, and say very little
about the years as fifth, sixth year,
seventh year, etc.
"In class d there will necessarily
be at least two divisions, one in the
first reader and one in the second
reader. In this work the subdivisions
should recite at least four times each
day.
In class C, language and spelling
should be combined. The period of
recitation should be about fifteen min
utes and about one half of the time
given to spelling and the other half
to the phases Of language work OUT
lined for this class. In this class the
geography, physiology and hygiene
and nature study are combined. This

work should be done without books in
the hands of pupils, but the library
should be supplied with many books
suitable for the pupils Of this group
to read.
In class B, language and spelling
should be combined. Spelling should
take seven or eight minutes of the Ian
guage period, three or four times a
week. The pupils should have access
to many books of history stories, and
easy biographies.
an class A, about ten minutes two
or three times a week should be tax
en- from the literature period for
spelling. History and government
are combined in a continuous two
year course, so arranged that the
years will alternate.
Elementary Science is a continu-
Gus course running through all the
years and including nature study,
physiology, agriculture and geogra-
ply. This course has been carefully
arranged and should be followed as
given. Teach the third, fifth and sew
enth years in 1880 and the fourth,
sixth and eighth years in 1918-19.
"The course in language and gram
mar is also planned for alienation.
By wisely using this plan, the teach
er uses only about one-half of the
course of study each year."

CENTRAL-WEST CAT
TLEMEN TO MEET

Cattlemen of Missouri, Kansas, Ok
iahoma and Arkansas will meet at
Sni-a-bar Farm, Grain Valley, Mo,
Oct. 10, under the auspices of the
University OF Missouri and the Kansas
and Oklahoma agricultural colleges, to
discuss ways and means of bringing
about maximum beef production. The
present cattle situation, methods of
production, and the market, are also
on the program for discussion by rep
resentatives of the Food Administra-
ton, the United States Department OF
Agriculture, national live stock rec
ord association, and the agricultural
colleges, and by farmers, feeders,
breeders and buyers.
A demonstration of the rapidity
with which cattle may be "graded up"
by the use of high class sires on com
mon cattle will be feature Of this
meeting. Sni-a-bar Farm, estab-
lished by the late w. R. Nelson, is en-
gagged in the major operation of i'm
proving and producing beef cattle
with the use of high-class sires and
grade cows. On the farm are 4OO
head of beef cattle, including grade
cows and first, second, and third cross
cattle produced by the use of high
class, purebred males of Shorthorn
breeding. These cattle will be exhib-
tied to show the results obtained
Facts and figures concerning them are
available.
Grain Valley is about twenty miles
from Kansas City on the c. 4 A. rail-
road. Sni-a-bar Farm adjoins the
village. A special train from Kansas
CITY in the morning, returning in the
evening, will accommodate visitors.
The meeting will begin at 10 a. m
in a large tent. Lunch will be served
at noon, following which the cattle at
will be inspected and discussed. This
meeting promises to be one of great
significance and a large attendance Is

THE SHOVELER

"a new type of aristocrat has made
his appearance in the mining field;
the shoveler," says the Miami, Okla,
rd-Herald.
"Years ago when the shoveler was
known as a mucker and received a
laborer's pay, he was considered a
very common sort of individual but
now. when he receives from eight to
sixteen dollars a day and dresses bet
ter than the man who operates the
mine, he is the acknowledged aristo-
crat of the camp.
"The recognition of the shoveler is
perfectly proper for he is the man to
whom the industry must look for the
dirt that produces the ore. He is the
finest specimen of manhood that the
country produces and to get the big
wages he must keep himself in tip
top condition.
"Perfect physical condition and the
nerve that is characteristic with the
lead and zinc miner combined with the
spirit of self-sacrifce that is in the
hearts of all men underground, COM
bine to make the shoveler all that a
true aristocrat should be.
"The shoveler of the Miami field is
a gentleman workman. He may be
rather expressive in his language at
times but many of them can slip into
dress suit and be as much at home
as in the ground. Many of them are
we'll educated but put aside the pur-
suits that are generally chosen by ed
ucated men for the shovel, in order to
make the big wages that are to be
made by their Drawn in the mines.
"The draft has hit the ranks of the
shoveler harder than any other call
ing on account of the superb condition
of the men and there is shortage at
present that is being felt terribly
Whether the gap made by the call can
be filled without seriously Gripping
the mining activities remains to be
seen.
at may be that weaker and older
men may be used, possibly women, if
the war continues, but at present, the
shoveler is the true aristocrat of the
field"
Since the American boys have very
largely succeeded the foreigner as
shovelers in the Lead Belt of st. Fran
co.'s county this same aristocrat is nc
longer a stranger here. Practically
the same conditions that surround the
miners in the Miami field are preva.
lent in the Lead Belt, and the steady
call for men for army service is con-
stantly pressing the wage scale up
ward.

LARGE INCREASE IN
MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS

jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 11.-Ad-
vance information from the 1918 Red
Book of the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics is to the effect that the total value
of manufactured products for the en-
tire State in 1917 was more than ST.
250. 0OO. 900. II 1915 IL was $685.
575,717, in 1915 $671,544,313, and in
1914 it was $646, 1897 ,029.
Statistics compiled under the direc-
ton of Labor Commissioner VIM.
E. Lewis show that the value of man
ufactured products in st. Louis alone
during 1917 was more than $75O,0O0,-
900, while in 1916 the value aggre-
gated SSH, 277,918. st. Louis pro-
duced $685., 198,522 in 1914 and $685.
SOC, 440 in 1915.
The bulk of the increase, in both
city and State, is due to the stimulus
of war. The output of steel COM
pany in st. Louis in 1916 was $4,907,-
900, while in 1917 the same concern
marketed goods worth $8,686,000. A
st. Louis company making railroad
supplies sold $875,000 worth in 1916
and 81 ,651 900 in 1917. A metal ware
manufacturer sold $245,000 in 1916
and 1862 900 in 1917. A concern max
ing electrical supplies sold $1,210.000
in 1916 and $2,023,000 in 1917. An
other sold $8,768, 900 in 1916 and more
than $12,OOO,00O in 1917. A corpora
ton making boots and shoes sold
$17,528,642 in 1915 and $22,57O, 1874 in
1917. r.
One st. Louis chemical company
which had 1915 output worth $4,-
$50, 900, increased the same for 1917
! to $6,542,000. In 1916 the output was
worth $5,498,000.
Tremendous increases are recorded
in worth of production for the out
puts of -four mills, and ore shelters
and refineries. The gains in worth of
production, all manufactured products,
1917, for Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Jefferson Citv. and for other smaller
cities of Missouri are as substantial
as those reported for st. Louis.

MISSOURI CORN CROP
FAR BELOW NORMAL

jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 10.-That
the Missouri corn crop is less than half
normal crop is indicated in the re-
port of the State Board of Agricul-
ture today. 1t is estimated that the
crop will be $130,500,000 bushels,
against $252,000,000 in 1917, an aver
age yield of 10 bushels to the acre, as
compared to 35 last year. The con-
dition is reported as, lower than any
time since 1866, except in 1881, when
it was AZ, in 1901 when it was 20 and
1913 when it was Al. Drought and hot
winds are credited with bringing hav-
oc to fine corn prospects.
The hay yield is estimated at q
100000 tons, against 1857, 900 last
year.
All vegetables are scarce, tomatoes
surviving the drought the best.
Estimates of the potato yield are
placed at 6,468,000 bushels, on a basis
of 55 per cent. Pastures are "A per

fed,
When l think of the cheese and the
beans and the fish
And the oysters I've had to eat,
I've no regrets for the "good old days"
l really didn't miss the meat!

day,
have eaten no cookies or pie,
l have had no bread that was made
with wheat;

And III eat "corn pone" for fun!

This is, indeed, a most commend
ablet showing and speaks eloquently
of the patriotic spirit instilled in the
hearts and minds Of the pupils through
the efficient and well directed efforts
of Superintendent Johns and his eff
cient corps of teachers. Prior to the
opening of the schools, Supt. Johns re-
ceived from Chairman holland Of the
War Savings Committee, certificate
which was conferred by virtue of the
fact that the Pennington School Dis
trict had exceeded its quota in the
sale of War Savings Stamps. Taking
into consideration the fact that the
Pennington district had "gone over
the top" before, the opening of the
schools makes the additional pledge of
$1001.O0 especially commendable.
The platform adopted by the Coun-
ty Educational Conference recently
held at Pennington, has been heartily
endorsed by State Superintendent
Uel w. Lamkin. In a letter dated
Sept. 18th, the State Superintendent
wrote as follows: ~ wish you would
