By act of 1821, authority was given to'establish a school in each congressional township, thus inaugurating ttye township system. Later, the township board was authorized to divide the township into one or more school districts, the township board being composed of the clerks of the sub-districts. With some modification, from time to time, this organization continued till 1874, at which time the township organization was swept away, and the sub-districts declared independent districts, each with an independent board of directors--three in country districts and six in city, town and village districts--holding their offices for a term of three years, onethird elected annually. Many of our best educators feel that school township organization is far preferable to the independent district organization. The township organization, from which our system has emerged, was a sort of pseudo township organization--an unfortunate mixture of the district and township systems. The district boundary lines may be changed by a majority vote at the annual meeting, with an appeal to the county commissioner in case the proposition fails to carry in any district or part of a district affected. Disorganized territory may be formed into a new district or attached to an adjoining district. Board of Directors has power "to make all needful rules and regulations for the organization, grading and government in their school district;" to employ teachers; to purchase material and apparatus, and to care for the property; also to suspend or expel pupils for conduct tending to the demoralization of the school, and to admit non-resident pupils and fix the tuition fee for the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missouri's mineral springs and resorts played a vital role in the social and economic development of the state. In Healing Waters, Loring Bullard delves into the long history of these springs and spas, concentrating particularly on the use and development of the mineral springs from 1800 to about the 1930s. During this period, there were at least eighty sites in the state that could be described as resorts. Because so many people were drawn to the springs by their faith in the healing virtues of the springwater, towns were frequently founded at the mineral springs. These places fought hard to capture the attention of Missourians who were seeking better health, relaxation, or good times in the late 1800s and early 1900s.Bullard first examines the development of mineral water resorts in Europe from ancient times, early spa traditions in America, and Missouri's frontier spas. He then discusses the establishment of saltworks at the state's saline springs and the importance of the early salt trade; the brisk business that grew around the bottling of mineral waters; the use and development of mineralized groundwater resources; the geologic and biologic factors that create Missouri's mineral waters; and public and professional belief in the curative values of mineral waters.Healing Waters also traces the demise of Missouri's mineral water resorts and towns. Well into the twentieth century, when modern medicine had seemingly taken hold, many physicians and scientists continued to proclaim the medicinal virtues of mineral waters. However, by the second quarter of the twentieth century, medical science and popular opinion had discounted the immediate medical usefulness of mineral waters. As advances were made in microbiology and biochemistry, and with the inherent promise of drug cures, orthodox medicine began to turn a cold shoulder on mineral water treatments. Spa treatments, with their long regimens, also did not fit well with the increasingly fast-paced lifestyles of the public. By visiting the sites, gathering local historical accounts, interviewing local citizens, and photographing remaining artifacts, Bullard has done a masterful job in providing the answers to why these vibrant social centers came to be and why they faded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, the United States was fast becoming the world's leading economy. Chicago, the host city, had grown in less than half a century from a village to the country's second-largest metropolis. During this, the Gilded Age, the world's most extensive railroad and steamship networks poured ceaselessly through Chicago, carrying the raw goods and finished products of America's great age of invention and industrial expansion. The Fair was the largest ever at the time, with 65,000 exhibitors and millions of visitors. It has been called the "Blueprint of the American Future" and marked the beginning of the national economy and consumer culture.
