Our High School has been rated by the University authori- ties of the State University as one of the first-class high schools of the state, and any student graduating here enters the State University at Columbia without examination. Now it is better than ever and if any of our stud. ents are unable for any reason to go on to higher scholarship at the university we purpose to thoroughly equip our Butler High School graduates not only with a liberal education but also with such technical education that they shall be able to step from our high school into any ordinary pursuits of life well equipped for their life work whatever that may be. To meet this requirement we have intro- duced into our high school course @ most interesting and valuable course in modern agriculture, and a comprehensive modern course in commercial training.

C., Aug. 1.—Join-| ing again at the last moment, the Democrats and the Republican insur- gents in the Senate this afternoon passed the farmers’ free list bill in amended form. The final vote was 48 to 30. As approved in the Upper House the billis called the ‘‘Kern substitute.’’ It is the House bill, except that ‘‘free food”’ is stricken out.

Principal Bradshw, who has for years taught the physics and that group of studies known . as “the sciences” will teach agri- culture. He is one of the best equpped men in the state for this work, and takes delight in it. We have recently employed a gentleman of splendid qualifica tions, just graduated from the Gem City Business College of Quincy, Ill., to have fall and ex- clusive charge of our Commer- cial Course. Being fresh from one of the best Commercial schools to be found in the Uni. ted States he is prepared to give all that is latest and most ap- proved in commercial work. It will be his work to teach pen- their respective departments, and they are the equals of the best to be found in Missouri. To parents as well as to pros- pective students we wish to say that the good people of Butler as well as the teachers will wel- come all students and do all that is reasonable to promote their happiness and further their so cial and intellectual progress.

Blair narrowly escaped death Sunday when his bi- plane fell from a heighth of about 50 feet and crashed into a tree, crushing the steering apparatus and the radia- tor and destroying the planes on one side of the machine. Mr. Blair’s es- cape from death was almost miracu- lous, the trunk of the tree barely grazing the driver’s seat. The wind Sunday was exceedingly dangerous for flying, coming in gusts, followed by sudden calms, and Mr. Russel made his flight against his own better judgement and that of other aviators in the party, in order that the spectators might not be dis- appointed. After making a couple’ of short jumps across the field in order to test the air currents, he decided to at- tempt a flight, and starting from the north end made a pretty rise near the center of the field. Turning his ma- chine to the southwest he flew over the bleachers’ and attempted to ele- vate his machine to a height of safe- ty for passing over the trees and the hill southwest of the race track, when a gust of wind striking his machine from above causing the monster man- made-bird to fall to the earth. Mr. Blair made a desperate effort to con- trol his machine and prevent a fall, and the crowd of spectators, realizing awed until the machine crashed into the tree and fell. A rush was made by the crowd to the scene (of the wreck even before the aviator was seen to emerge from the debris un- hurt and make his way across the | field to the hangar. The Mid-West people’ were very unfortunate in having to contend with dangerous winds each day during _|their_stayhere, but in spite of this handicap made some very successful flights. Fairmount News.
