For good citizens are made, not by law, but by education. Missouri University is the head of our educational system. When first established, it consisted of the School of Arts and Science alone. To it were added later the different schools which make it one of the most complete universities in the country. The School of Education, a general college course, was the first addition. The College of Agriculture followed soon after and has proven an enormous asset to the state by producing scientific farmers, who do away with the waste of land and natural resources that have so long stopped our material growth. The research departments, affiliated with the College of Agriculture, labor unceasingly to lighten the task of the farmer and to increase his efficiency. Twenty-one

The School of Journalism, which claims the distinction of being the first of its kind to be founded in the world, was then added. Men and women from this school are engaged in newspaper work or kindred occupations throughout the country, and the quality of our dailies and periodicals attests the thoroughness of the course. The School of Business and Public Admin- istration followed soon after. The Missouri State Military School has been the latest addition with the purpose of training young men to become leaders in time of war as well as leaders in civil life. Distributed throughout the state are the various other branches of the system. The Rolla School of Mines and Metallurgy is favorably located in the heart of the lead and zinc mining district in the southern part of the state. The students obtain a practical knowledge of their subject by the learn-by-doing method, which is the policy of our entire state school system. An important part of the system is the five teachers' colleges, situated so as to serve all sections of the state conveniently. Twenty-two
