North side square, "big clock," Chillicothe, Mo. Children Cry for Pitcher's eistoria. Complimentary to the Normal, with Mr. Leach's Speech in Full. The Chillicothe Normal Opened in Grand Style, With More Than Two Hundred Students Present.

The Building Almost Completed, With a Successful Term in Sight. Prof. Moore the Happiest Man in Town. Though the Citizens Are Well Pleased. The Speech of W.

B. Leach Took the Lead. Promptly at the hour appointed Tuesday the grand opening of tbe grandest educational institution of the state took place the New Chillicothe Normal School builditg, under the supervision of tbe grandest educator of the country, whose reputation has won for him a place in the bosom of eyery citizen in ChiUico- the. This institution is the grandest institution of the city, cost as much money, presents as nice appearance, and has been so well advertised as to be before every household. Although that morning there were some portions of the building not yet finished, a number of tbe rooms of the house yet unfurnished, and tbe grounds surrounding not yet cleaned up, a scene was presented to the eye which was indeed pleasing to every lover of education, and from the great gathering of about seven bun dred of Chillicothe's best people, we would judge that they appreciate tbe the enterprise shown by the citizens in' erecting this grand structure, and the presence of such an eminent educator as Prof.

Allen Moore, who has been recognized in Missouri for that number of years which it would take a lifetime to undo. It wag-true that no one expected to find so many students as were enrolled this morning, therej being nearly 200, including a number of ladies. The chapel of the building was nicely arranged, filled with chairs as closely as could be done, and before the exercises began there was not even standing room, as as the halls being crowded, also. The faculty being all present they took seats on the stage, which had been so arranged as to accommodate the choir, composed of Miss Adah Williams. Mr.

J. M. Dunn. Chas. Daly; with Mrs.

Will Slack, pianist, and Mr. Glen as well as the various ministers of the city. The first on the programme was a quartette by the choir. Rev. Dr.

Williams was announced as conductor of the devotional cises. Speeches were made by several of our citizens, all of whom paid high tributes to the professor, as well as to the enterprising people who aided so materially in the building of this institution for our growing city. W. B. Leach, was the first called upon, and his address was an interesting one, well prepared and to the point, the substance of which is as follows: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: While sitting and looking around this beautiful building this morning I have asking myself this question: Whether all which I sec before me and around me, the faces of these young, vigorous, determined and anxious teachers and students, anxious to begin their season's work, this grand and noble structure of stone and brick, so nearly completed and whiih is visible for miles around, these naturally lovely grounds, is all a dream, or is it a ality The answer comes back to me that it is indeed a reality, and not a dream; and that at last Chillicothe and the county of Livingston, have awoke from their Rip Van Winkle sleep and erected to their memory this beautiful temple of learning; and that we can proclaim to the world today that this magnificent building stands second to none in all North Missouri, for solidity, convenience and beauty, all of which has been erected for the exclusive use and control of Prof.

Allen Moore, for the next twenty years, at which time yes, long before that undoubtedly will be the sole owner. I hope he may live to control the college for forty years to come. It was a fortunate day that brought the people of Chillicothe, the county of Livingston and Prof. Moore to gether. In my opinion, it was a God-send to us and to him, also; for here to day, I believe, if the commencement of what has been the ambition of his whole life, to be the president owner of one of the best and most popular colleges in this whole western country.

To make a college popular must not only have good and popular management (which I know this wjll have), but it must also have a popular location. In this I feel certain Prof. Moore has made no mistuke; for where is the town of the population of Chillicothe that can boast of better railroad facilities for the trans- portal'oa of students? Now eighteen passenger trains passing our three depots daily, street cars to convey them to and from our depots, water works to supply them with good and wholesome water, electric lights all over the city to keep them from darkness, telephones to annihilate time and distance; in fact, all the modern conveniences of the day, except, perhaps, paved streets and an opera house. The latter, however, I can safely say, will be built within the coming year. From this date on the success of the Chillicothe Normal School and Business Institute is assured.

I expect to live to see this college enroll from 600 to 800 students within one season; and that in a very few years. To do this, and give plenty of room for students, additions can be easily made to this already commodious building. I did not come here this morning to eulogize Prof. Moore, but plain, solid well be kept in the background. They will come to the front.

I believe no other man could have come here as he did, almost an entire straugcr.and have so short a time, what the president of this college has. As I said, he came to us comparatively a stranger; but, ladies and gentlemen, he was far from being a stranger in Northwest Missouri. He brought with him something more valuable than the total cost of this building; something more valuable than all the gold that could be packed up in this room; something more valuable than anything else you can pos sibly name; something that every student within the sound of my voice should (if he has not already done so) at very resolve he will secure and maintain; and what is this so very valuable It is a good reputation. Wo saw in vour president a man of long experience as an man of bright, keen intellect, quick perception and fixed character; a man of wonderful (I may say) energy, push and determination, who had no such word as fail in his vocubulary. After seeing these qualities so very essential-in such a grand enterprise, we who composed the committee to solicit subscriptions of stock in the building, joined bands with Prof.

Moore, rolled up our sleeves, erased from our book the word fail, and went into the battle to win; and here, to-day, we can view with pride the glorious results of that hard and long struggle of near three weeks' tion. Ladies and gentlemen, I know not why I was invited and expected to address you to-day; for, as many of you well know, public speaking is not in my line. But as I bad been warned that my existence would be endangered were I absent, I thought it best to come, and now that I am here, I will confess that this is one of the proudest hours of my whole life, and I am glad that I atn able to be with you oa this eventful occasion. No one, 1 care not who, in this city or county, can possibly feel more proud of this noble structure and the flattering prospects of the Chillicothe Normal School, than 1 do. Many may feel as proud, and 1 dnre say they do, especially those here of the members of that hard-working com mittec, which I am glad to see with us to day, but none more so.

And now a few words to the teachers and students from abroad: It is quite probable ihat many of you, perhaps most of yoa, cxpuctsd (o find this building fully completed in every detail, the Ins', finishing stroke, from the trowel, hammer and brush, the furniture in their respective places in every room, the grounds all covered with velvety grass and soiid stone or brick walks laid in tbe same. You had a right to expect this, for we ourselves, expec'cd that this would have all been clone before your arrival in our city, and our expectations would have been fnlly realized had it not have been for the delay in getting our ornamental stone. Our architect, Prof. Moore and tbe board of directors, have done all in their power to prevent any disappointment. No doubt, for a few days you will encounter some inconvenience in getting settled in your different rooms, both inside and outside of the college.

We ask of you to be patient, be lenient, especially with your president. Put the blame on us, rather than on him, for he has done his best; and like all of us, is only human. Bear with us a short lime and you will find ev- eyerything to light these beautiful grounds and building, steam to heat your rooms, and street curs passing your doors, aud then I feel assured you will unite with one voice and say: I do not regret that I came to Chillicothe. Most, of you come here as strangers but do not, for one that you will be strangers in a strange land long, for Chiilicothe to-day reaches out her hand to greet you, and bids you welcome. Our pcoble are pleased to see you hero, and will do their part to make your stay a pleasant one.

We feel an interest in you and wish to know you personally, for we know you came here as ladies and gentlemen, and as such we shall be proud to meet you Our Episcopal, Christian, Presbyterian, Catholic and Methodist, are all open to you; also our Choral Society, and I can assure you in either of these institutions you will receive a cordial welcome. When you hnve occasion to vist our numerous places of busmesss, make yourselves known that you are teachers or students in this college and you will receive that treatment which is duo you as strangers among us. In this mat- tor do not bo modest, for as 1 said before, wo wish to know you. A word or two to tbe citizens generally: It should bo tho duty of every citizen of this county who has at heart tho interest of his own county, an opportunity presents to help, aid, and assist in tho iuture growth of Chillicotho as an educational center, no matter if sometimes it may inconvenience you a little, you should always be ready by them to purchase nearly four acres of ground, as beautiful and nicely located as any in the city, on which now stands a monument which will serve as a memento to thc memory of all who took stock therein so long as life lasts, and will be a pleasant thought for the following generationa to cherish- In the erection of this main building all pains were ti.ken to so build it as won Id be to and for the convenience of students, and nothing was used iu the erection thereof except the best of material. residence, now in course of construction, will he completed by the first of November, and wih cost something over Taking all the buildings together in and around the grounds, virtually the Normal School, will cost more I'lan and are beauties to behold, but will be made much more inviting when the work of cleaning up the yards is completed and the beautiful forest trees to the north, east and west are dressed by the hands of forrest trimmers.

Incandescent lights have been placed in every room new furniture all through the buildings, and water in the house from the city water works. The entire outfit is to be heated by steam, which is a great convenience, and a saving to the pupils who occupy rooms. Mr. Moore has left nothing undone which would be to the advantage of the large ber of bright, intelligent and knowledge hungry students to be fouod in this school. This school is the place for young ladies and gentlemen who have completed their course in the lower schools and who have ambitions to be more than ordinary people in the way of education, through life for this is where the mind is polished and man fitted for any station in life.

Allen Mooro, M. president and proprietor of the Chillicothe Normal School and Business Institute, was educated at Huntington. Richmond, Labanon, and now holds four diplomas from the Northern Indiana Normal School of Valparaiso, Ind. He was principal of the Huntington, High School; Antioch Williamsburg, SchoolsjWash- ton, School and taught nine terms in his homo district. While in tbo Normal School at Valparaiso, ho was twice elected on tho anniversary programme of tho Crescent Literary Srciety, once en the anniversary contest, winning tho prize, and was honored with tho tho salutatory address by his graduating class.

In tho winter of 188081 ho was tendered a professorship in this institution, but on account of another position he the fall of 1881 he came west, and accepted tho position of instructor and manager declined to accept it, find in of the commercial in behult ol your now we know wo can do so con scientiousiy And now haying assumed my allotted time of ten minutes or more, and well knowing that you will be better ontortained by speakers to follow. I will close by thanking you lor your kind attention. Again bidding our strangers, ouo and all a hearty welcome to our city, and wishing them a most happy and successful season this, their first one in the Chillicothe Normal School and Business Institute. I close. Following this Mr.

Mose Alexander made a ten minutes talk which was appreciated by the large crowd. Prof. J. L. Schmitz, L.

A. Martin and Rev. Dr. all of whom did justice to the occassion, which was one to be long remembered with pleasure by our people. The music furnished by the choir was exceedingly grand, and Prof Moore feels highly complimented at such a demonstration on the part of thc public as was manifested this this morning.

In connection with thc above we have something more to say of thh institution of learning, and the president who has had so much experience in the way of educating the public, In all of his undertakings he has so conducted the affairs pertainining to his business and the public's welfare as to merit the confidence and respect of all. To-day Chillicothe would have been without this great educational institute, which she has so long needed and wished for, had it not been that in April last Prof. Moore came here, made a proposition to the city that if they would put 825,000 in a building, he would open a school worth more to the town and county than any other business here. The people nad confidence in him, and at once organized themselves together into committees, and it was only a short time before the requisite amount had been raised. The first ward people were determined to have the building located therein, and i sufficient amount of money was raised at different places.

As a scientist rof. Buck has already a wide and as an instructor foremost rank in his mal School of Stanborry, Mo. In 1884 he became principal of this institution, which position he hold until April, 1890, when he sold his two third interest and accepted the presidency of the Chillicotho Normal School at-d Business Institute, which he will make tbe loading school of the West. Besides that we can say for Prot. Mooro that bo has no superior as an educator in the state; in energy and interest in his chosen profession he stands without a rival.

Haying made a life long study of tbe work ho fully understands tbo wants and neods of tho people and is capable of furnishing the same. In the selection of course of study for this grand institution Prof. Moore has embraced all, and the best faculty of any educational institution in the west. Tho jourses of study are common school course; teachers' or normal co urse, classical musical course, vocal music; stringed instruments in five type-writing, penmanship, fine arts, taxidering, arithmetic, algebra, grammar, rhetoric, geog- rapy civil government, book-keeping, commer- sial law. No other private normal school in ihe West offers Us students free use of a lihrary of over 5,000 volumes.

Prof. Moore has, since ho camo to Ghillicotho 'lait spring, spent over $1,500 for advertising alone, and he says that It has been the best, investment he has made. You can scarcely pick up a paper in tho state which does not contain his advertisement, having one single week placed notices ia 412 differ en papers. The faculty of thio new school i for suverior to the hmajority schools throughout the country a Prof. Moore would select no one take charge of the minds of th students who was not recommend ed by the best institutions e- In the dining rooms we found earning in tho United States, and i everything as nice, neat and clean as who can show a record of sure ad- a parlor, and thc abundance vancoment for thoso who desire to obtain knowledge.
