I-IISTGRY ffm? sci-IooL HE SCHOOL completed in June its seventy-fourth year of continuous oper- ation in the city of Boonville, and its seventy-third on its present site. Its opening day was Monday, June 3, 1844. Its founder was Professor Frederick T. Kemper, of Virginia, who continued in active control until his death in March, 1881. The present Superintendent became a teacher in the School in 1868 and Superintendent in 1881. It is far the oldest boys' academy in Missouri, and the only unendowed school of any considerable age in the State that has achieved success, and enjoyed the steady confidence and patronage of the public.

eidrev to avents 9fl5ogs N connection with the rearing of your son you are, no doubt, con- fronted with numerous and per- plexing problems. You have for him ideals of learning, culture, character and manhood that he seems more or less unlikely to attain. His personality is mysterious and you find yourself lacking in the power to understand him and especially in the time needed to devote to the solution of the problems that he presents. COLONEL T. A. JOHNSTON A correspondent of the Saturday Superintendent Evening Post presents the matter thus: I have been a good deal interested lately in scientific management, the main principle of which seems to be that a man ought to look over his work carefully and find out where he is weak. In some ways I am a successful man. I have built up a good business-my credit at the bank is Hrst-class and other business men listen to my opinions with respectg but as a parent I am a flat failure. If I had no better control over the subordinates in my office than I have over those members of my household who are supposed to be subordinate to me, I should be 'broke' in six months. I know a number of men who are trying to hold down jobs for which they are plainly incompetent, and I have considerable contempt for them. I think they ought to clear out and turn the jobs over to men who are competent. I know, too, from my business observation, that an incompetent boss usually demoralizes the people under him. If he isn't up to his job his sub- ordinateseeespecially the younger ones,-don't really have a fair show. I argue that, as an incompetent parent, I must be having a bad influence on my children. As I look over the families of my friends, I conclude that at least 50 per cent of parents are no more up to the job than I am. Also, I notice this: If I had charge of my next-door neighbor's children I wouldn't for a minute let them do some of the things they do now, although my own children do pretty much the same. I like his children very wellg yet I am not so besotted but that I would stop them from doing things that are harmful. Very likely he would stop my children too. I think we need a class of professional parents to take charge of children and be just and kind to them but not foolish. page six
