470 Missouri Historical Review
The last volume of this invaluable series for the years
1943-1944 is in many respects the best Official Manual ever
published by the State. To the customary sections on the
various departments of government considerable new information has been added. A survey of the constitutional convention now in session contains the journal of the first day's
proceedings besides the valuable list of permanent committees
and biographical sketches of the delegates.
A valuable section in this volume is entitled, "General
Missouri Information." A history of the capitols and a
description of the present building plus a description of the
official seal, flag, bird, and flower give the reader a better
appreciation of the symbols of his State. The historical
information includes a list of the members of congress from
Missouri since 1821, six pages of territorial maps, and an
index to the historical features which have appeared in the
official manuals since their first issue. The maps were taken
from originals in the library of the State Historical Society
and the index was compiled by its staff. This section was
inserted primarily to offer a partial answer to the pleas to
the secretary of state's office by citizens for more information about the history of the State. But most of all for the
reader, here in the Official Manual is the shortcut to investigating the machinery of state government.
