The colored people for the most part own their homes und they speak very engouragigly of the treatment they receive from the white peopte. We stopped at the home, of, ey. J, D, Wells, pastor of the A. M. E church, He is a bachelor and is. be- ginniog to fcel the need of a wife. Tf reme good woman would corte. spond with him she would have no trouble securing him, He has re- modeled his church, and we must say that it Is the most benutiful church for w country village we ever saw. Rev. Wells Faises chickens and hogs and has a nice garden, Wo alro met Mr. H, Wilson, who as been in the town ‘several 'yeurs and owna good property. Ile ls an influential citizen. Mra J. HH. Malcome, one of the calerenes of the town, is doing fine and owns a nice home.’ What is neoded at Maryville is, that instead’ of having male teachers, women should be employed. It was to our surprise and disgust that we were icld by the pustor of the church that there was no young lady in the town who can play the piano, and the reason given for this condition wae because no public school teacher who comes t« the towr, cares to take pains to see that the people are educated along musical lines. Now, what the people of that town want to do is to get wreiher and employ some lady teacher who has musical ability and ull be a help to tht community and to the church. We do not think very much ef a man who will hung on lo & school for $60 or $70 4 month for seven months in the yoar, when he could be muking more tomewhere else and giving expression to his ability. When a man has » good education as a school teacher and can not rise above a position as instruct. or in @ country ‘school, he should seek mechanical labor at $2 and $3 a day. We find this condition ex- tsling ma great many places in Mis- souri, and these towns should do awuy with men teachers and fill the places with women. | GALLATIN.

We met our friend Harrison Steele, who Ix a widower, He is a contractor and has several pieces af property: He says he wants young wife, and he te, amply able to take care of a good wife, so any young lady wishing # good ‘old dar- ling should try to get into communt cation with Mr. Steele. ‘We met Mrs, Mary Bummell and husband.

We found one colored man running @ Junch stand and making gvod al Tn all the towns in Missour: that we Sisited on this trip we found no cale ored people engaged In business cx- cept at Chillicothe and Macon, aud at these places we found restaurants and confectioneries. The people seem to Tuck push and enerny, and swe sur pore it is on account of the effects of ‘slavery, from which they have not det recovered. { “We saw our old friend Credoe Jones, wha hoa been In that uown fifty yeara.

This is the town where the colored people know less than they da In any other town i the United States. We think it is on account of slavery or the effects of slavery. We speak of the ma- jority of the colored people. Of course there ate some excellent pco- ple here who own good homes, but the non-progressives predominate.

In a broad way, it ives plant study the first two years; animal study in yeats three and four. Beginning “with the Junior class, the students of the agricultural department spend one-half of cach day in the study and practice of ag- ticulture, Marking off the two main divisions as mentioned of all farm- ing, namely, plant and animal life, the’ department of agriculture gives the subjects and the phases of sub- iets by grades an best suited to the classification of tho student, While pursuing academic studies which cor- respond roughly to the reventh grade the junior clars studies in agricul. ture, soils and fertilizers, live stock, farm crops and agricutural drawing during the first half year, adding dairyang the second half, In the B middle year, the classes study seed and aced testing, garden crops, farm cropr, live stock, during the first half years and fruit’culture, market and marketing with farm crops the recond half, In the A mid- die cla the students add to their courses feed and feeding, farm en- Rineering, agricultural J acteriology and farm ranitation, Insecta and spraying, fruit, entymology and can- ning. “The senior class aids ageicul. tural chemistry, farm management, farm accounts, landsenpe gardening, agricultural extension work, such 14) in done under the Smith-Lever bill, corr, club and pig club work, Rut farmers have more to do than ta farm. The tools and implements of the soil have to be kept in shape, ‘omen have to he built and kept up. Hence certain short courses in _me- chinies are required in the four yeurs study of agriculture. A Junior #ludics wood work, a B middicr stud fer iron wark and leather work, and an A middler painting, cement’ and brick work; the renior, farm me- chanics, in ‘addition to regular agri+ cultural studies already outhned, Again, in their literary work, the courses ‘of the student of the’ soil take on a certain twist to supple ment work in agriculture. Hie Eng- lish componition, his grammar, his rhetoric, his public xpeaking,’ his economics, hie course in education, his arithmetic, all have for their theme farming. Hin sentences are on farming. ifis arithmetic prob- lems deal with farming. His course in education studies Burbank, Knapp and Morrell and the Smith-Lever nel, rather than Aristotle and Pesta- orl.
