of the information contained therein
will prove of interest to number of
persons, publishes the following eX-
tracts:

the Southeast Missouri State Teach
ers College opens on April 10, 1920.

schools will not close in time for them
to enter April 19, may enter to ad-
vantage as late as May 10, or even
as late as May II. Students entering
after the first week must schedule for
not more than one semester hour for
