The School Law; a Reply to Mr. Hitchings 
((’(intiiuiod from page 2.39) 
Ono of tlio maker.s of thi.s famous school 
liiw was SO patriotic, so lo.val to the 
country which gave him birth, to the 
State in wliich he holds an honorable of- 
hce, that he places his 12-year-old child in 
a foreign country to be etlucated. in xvhich 
in education, sanitation and morality it 
is far below the normal level, a country in 
which the statistics show that more than 
twenty-nine iter cent are illiterate. 
The defender of this now famous school 
law, over which the State Hoard of Edu¬ 
cation will in the near future hold a post¬ 
mortem by the advice^ of the people and 
the consent of the la'gislaturc, asks ns to 
wait and give it a fair trial, to keep this 
.six months’ kicking Missouri mule for 
another six month.s, and po.ssibly it ,will 
cease its kicking aiul he submissive.
