TO THE FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS In submitting this report I recognize that more could have been accomplished than statistics show, but as all know, this office was created by the legislature in 1909 and everything along the line of supervision was new to nearly every citizen in the county as well as to myself. After my appointment by the governor August 14, 1009, 1 realized the task before me, but as an experienced teacher and father of a ohlld of school age, I felt that the progress of education in Gasconade county would, in a great measure, depend upon my work. Again, I realized that to do effective work, it was necessary for me to acquaint myself with local conditions in every district, and also to make a more thorough study of the course of study and school laws. I must say that in my experience I have mingled feelings of pleasure and regret. There are, however, many things to encourage and approve after five years of constant and strenuous effort, 'In approaching the end of this term's work In which I have had so much pleasure, I acknowledge my great obligations to teachers, directors, county papers and the people of the county in general. No officer ever had a larger number of true helpers, or fewer knockers to discourage. There is aatlsfaction in knowing that harmony and the spirit of co-operation prevail among the school workers in the county ; that a well digested course of study has found its way to the remotest rural schools in the county and has there met with favor, and that progressive movements, based on sound educational principles, have been kept constantly before teachers and directors and have, to a considerable extent, been realised. The following are evidence of progress made In the past five years : Oaln In average dally attendance since 1910 226 Number of library books added - 0343 Total number library books In all schools July, 1914 7908 Total number of all rural graduates In the county prior to my administration 29 Number of rural graduates in the five years of my administration 343 Number of approved rural sohools In the county 7 (This gives us a very prominent place, In percentage, in the list of approved sohools in the State.) Number of modern heating and ventilating systems installed 7 Number of new school houses built 4 Number of stoves Jacketed 10 Special state aid to weak school districts In the last year amounting to 700 Respectfully submitted, C. M. DAMVSKB, Co. Hupt. Big Fire at Moselle A disastrous Ore occurred at Moselle last Saturday night. At about 7 :30 o'clock Bmoke was seen is-suing from a small warehouse ad joining Elmer Fisher's general store where also was located the poetofftce. Before anything could be done to prevent it the building in which Mr. Fisher conducted business and kept the postoffic was in flames and was quickly do stroyed together with all its con tents including the postolllee booksletc. This was a line new frame building recently erected by Jacob Caste at a cost of something like $4000. There was no Insur ance on the Drooerty. The tire spread to Edward Pipkins' saloon then to Pvrick Bros, blacksmith hop to the Pipkins poo room on i D:nii..o saloon and then to r . oauerwaiu a ireueitii oiuic where a stock of merchandise worth between $10,000 and J20.000 was carried. Excepting some whiskey which was carried out o one of the saloons not a thing was saved out of the contents of any o the buildings destroyed. There be ine no means of fighting the lire all the buildings mentioned were burned to the ground. Not a dol lar's worth of Insurance was car ried by any of the unfortunate owners.

Hermann, Mo., Sheriff Puts the Lid on War Talk; Threatens Arrest llerniuiin, M-. .Inn. 10. Sheriff Schnilgor of Ciseonade county has declared war on war urgu-mcnts in this city. There have been so many quarrels and feeling is so keen among the. null ami pro-liermau population he has served notice that any person caught quarreling over the war will he nrre.-ted and tried on charges of disturbing the peace and dignity of the community. 'The population, of Hermann is composed largely of persons of German bilth or parentage and their sympathies are with the Kaiser. The pro-allies have been at a decided disadvf ntage in their "defense," so far as numbers are concerned, but this has not deterred them from expressing views on the subject, with the result that the Sheriff has been compelled to work overtime keeping peace. "This town has got to be neutral and cut out ail of this war talk or I'll arrest the whole caboodle of 'em," the Sheriff announces. "All they do is tulk each other s arms off and the worst of it is they don't seem to get anywhere." St. Louis Star. WOOLLAM. Quite a blizzard Tuesday.

They are addressing you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an eloquent story of the world's progress. The inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an enduring service to mankind. We can all help others for a brief period while we live, but it takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light a torch of progress that will illuminate the pathway of civilization for future generations.
