TO TEACH AGR|CUL.
TURE IN M'MIlLAN

The Mcmillan High School is to have
an Agricultural department which
will be in operation for the first time
at the beginning of the next school
term. Prof. A. Carroll, of Warrens-
burg, No, who has a B. S. degree in
Education from the University of Mis-
souri, and is also a graduate from the
Warrensburg Normal will have charge
of this department.
Prof. j. NJ. Merridth of Columbia,
Mo, was elected principal of the High
School to take the place of Prof.
Strunk who will teach at Clayton next
term. Prof. Merridth is also a grad
uate of the University of Missouri and
the Warrensburg Normal. He re-
ceived his degree of B. S. in Education
at the University. Both he and Mr.
Carroll come here highly recommended
and will no doubt keep the school up
to the high standard of excellency it
has heretofore maintained.
Other teachers who were elected at
the meeting of the school board Mon
day night were: Misses Mary Hatch
er and Elizabeth Harper both of Mex
leo. They will teach in the grade
school.
This completes the corps of teach
ers in the Mexico schools unless others
resign, which it is thought, will not
be the case.
The agricultural department to be
instituted this year means a big thing
in an educational way for Mcmillan,
This course is handled under the dir
ection of the National agricultural
department the ours of study be-
ing outlined by this department. The
school will receive the same bulletins
and matters pertaining to agriculture
that the various farm advisers re
ceive. 1t fits the students to carry or
agriculture in an intelligent and
scientific way.
The class in this department this
years promises to be n of the largest
in the High School. The State anC
National government pay 5000 toward
the salary of the instructor in this de
partment.

lington, Vermont, and Richmond, Indiana,
and all other small towns where Education
is still considered worthy of capital letter.
They have willingly sacrificed their summer
vacation pleasures for the greater joy of
increasing their store of learning. Skepti-
cism as to the merits of higher education,
American style and the intellectual integ-
rity of the modern college professor van
ish before their fresh young faith.
But it is not the ten thousand themselves
who are significant, but the great educa-
tional system which they represent. These
enthusiastic young teachers are the back
bone of the college tradition in this coun-
try. 1t is they who fill the boys and girls
of the country high schools with an ambi-
ton for college education, who encourage
them to suffer poverty and unhappiness,
sometimes, to achieve their goal. American
girls and boys, working they way through
college, are one of the nations dearest
assets. When our boys went to war they
were the best educated body of men in
Europe, and this was due to the high school
teachers of the country more than to any
other body of citizens.

peace must continue to depend as now
on the willingness of those to fight for
it against those who would break it.
1t is for this reason that an alliance
of the nations whose desire to have peace
is at the maximum is seemingly the only
means now in sight to secure it and to
satisfy the hope of mankind. Accept the
covenant for the good it contains, if you
will, but place no reliance on it as a
peace preserver. France does not, for
she would have defensible frontier and
asks for pledges for her special defence.
Great Britain does not, for not a ship
will she dsmantle. The United States
despite all the beautiful words, does not,
for Baker asks for more soldiers and
Daniels for more dreadnoughts.
Looking at matters practically and
definitely, the only prospect of the crea-
ton Of league to enforce peace seems
contained, not in the covenant, but in
the alliance treaty. A favorable attitude
toward this treaty may be deemed more
significant of belief in a league to en-
force peace than any favorable attitude
toward the covenant
