PROVIDES AID FOR
THE RURAL SCHOOL

Interest in the school measure
known as the country unit bill, which
is pending in the Missouri Legislature,
is strong among persons connected
with or concerned in educational mat
ters in the county according to c. w.
McCrowskey, county superintendent
of schools.
The bill, if made law, will bring
about some sweeping changes in the
educational system Of Missouri couth-
ties, and in the opinion of McCroskey
the results will be beneficial, especial
ly in the rural communities where
school facilities are generally below
those of the towns and cities.
Under the provisions of the bill
each county would become one school
district which would include the en-
tire county except the towns and cities
which have high schools. In Greene
county there would be five districts
exempt from the provisions Of the
bill. Springfield, Republic, Ash Grove
Walnut Grove and Stafford have high
schools and would not be included in
the county district.
The bill would make the whole
county responsible for the education
of the pupils rather than the individ-.
ual districts as at present. 1t would
equalize the tax levy for school pur-
poses and would provide for the estab-
1ishment for high schools in various
parts of the county so that such
schools would be available for all. AZ,
present there are more than SO
schools districts in this county prac-'
tically out of reach of high school.
The county district would be under
the management Of board of educa-
ton that would appoint the county
superintendent, classify teachers and
fix their salaries according to classi-
fication, advise with the local school
boards in the supervision of school
property. establish and maintain high
schools so as to give such privileges
to all eighth grade graduates in the
county, levy school tax not to ex-
ceed 40 cents on the, $100 valuation,
select text books, dis5urse funds and
become custodian of all school records.
The board is to be elected by ballot
and without regard to political affilia--
tion. 1t would be composed of six
members who would be paid SIS day
for not to exceed Is days year.
Local school boards would still Sc
lect their teachers from list prepar-
ed by the county board and consult
with the county board on all matters
the local schools. They
would have a voice in locating high
schools, changing district boundaries
and become more useful and influen-
tial than at present, it is declared.
Friends of the measure say it,would
lengthen school terms, provide good
schools in districts at present too poor
to afford long terms or efficient
teachers, eliminate waste, insure bet
ter equipment and place Missouri in
the front rank educationally among
the states.-Springfiel Leader.

HENRY STARR, PROBABLY
FATALLY SHOT
Three of Alleged Robbers Make Es-
cape After Robbery at Harrison,
Ark, Is Frustrated.

Harrison, Ark, Feb. 17.-That he
was in debt and turned bank rcober
to get money was the explanation
given here tonight by Henry Starr,
! former Oklahoma bandit, for an at.
today to rob the Peoples State Bank
tempt he and three companions made
of Harrison and which resulted in the
probable fatal wounding of Starr and
the escape of his companions
Lying on Jail cot here with his
spinal cord severed by bullet w.. H.
Meyers, former president of the bank,
fired into his body from the vault into
which Meyers and several bank off
cials had been forced, Starr told his
story to DR.. ]. H. Fowler, the attend
ing physician.
81 have robbed more banks than any
man in the United States," DR.. Fow-
Ter quoted Starr as telling him.
"It doesn't pay" the bandit contin-
ued. 81 was in debt $4,000 and had to
have money so l turned robber again.
l am sorry, but the deed is done.
Starr, it was learned tonight, pre-
vented his companions from return
ing the fire of Meyers when the latter
shot him down with rifle.
Discussing that feature, Starr told
him, DR.. Fowler said, that in all of
his bank robbing escapades he had
never killed anyone and because he
was proud of that record, he did not
want his companions to shoot during
today's robbery.
Physicians late tonight expressed
the belief that Starr could not recover
While Starr was fighting his battle
against death tonight posses were
beating up the wooded regions about
here in search of the three other por-
ticipants.
Two of the men came into the bank
with Starr while the third remained |
in their motor car.
Starr stoutly refuses to give any |
as to the identity of his
companions in the affair. Repeated
reports on the part of county officials
to elicit information have resulted in
failure. J. M. Wagley, president Of
the bank quoted Starr as saying: 81
can not talk of them"
No money was obtained by the es-
capped bandits as Starr had stuffed all
available cash into his pockets.
The vault into which Meyers slipped
when the robbers entered was used for
keeping books and bank papers. Cash
er Hoffman, when requested to open
he safe, stopped to do so with Starr
covering him with his revolver and his
keeping the other occu-
pants of the bank at bay. Starr in
lis anxiety stopped over to watch
Hoffman closely and Meyers fired the
shot that brought theerobbery to an
md.
The last affair in which Starr was
participant was successful raid on
wo banks at Stroud, Okla, on March s
4, 1915. He was wounded and cap I
ured and convicted the following s
August, being sentenced to twenty
i've years in the Oklahoma peniten- {
iary. He was pardoned by Governor i
:. B. A. Robertson, of that state in
Iarch, 1919, and since that time had N
gone straight" t

TOOK OATH by THE PEACOCK
When Philip of Burgundy and His
Knights Vowed to Engage to War
for Holy Land.

In 1853 Philip the Good, duke Of
Burgundy, vowed by the peacock" to
go to the deliverance of Constantine
pie, which had recently fallen into the
hands of the Turks. At the conclusion
of the tournament and banquet held by
the duke at Lille, Holy Mother Church,
in the guise Of lady in mourning
seated on an elephant and escorted by
q giant, approached the duke and de-
liyered a long versified complaint,
claiming the aid and succor Of the
Knights Of the Golden Fleece.
The herald advanced, bearing on his
fist live peacock or pheasant, which,
according to the rites Of chivalry, he
presented to the duke. At this eXtraor-
binary summons Philip, wise and
aged prince, engaged his person and
powers in the holy war against the
Turks. His example was initiated by
the barons and knights Of the assem-
bly,; they swore to God, the Virgin.
the ladies, and the peacock.
In this connection will be recalled
