The Thirteenth Judicial District Institute Is

that our citizens win show, by the hearty re-

ties and other portions Of the State, that tney
feel honored by their presence among u.s. W.

most without exception, those who once see

it has been the custom to entertain 'ne iAa!
teachers free, during the session OF an insti-
tute. and the gentlemen. if not entirety irce'
at merely a nominal sum. Some OF our NEST
euterprisiny citizens seem to think that we
ought to entertain all alike-free. we feel
confident that the public spirit of our people
will not allow them to be surpassed in hospi-
talitv. by other towns where the Institute has
been held. At meeting OF the Teachers
Association, last Saturday, the following COM
mttee of Reception and Entertainment was
appointed: II. j. Hills, j. Z. Caldwell, Mrs.
LISA Tucker, Mrs. ]. II. Todd. Mrs. w. g..
West, Mrs. C. L. Warmer and j. l.. thinner
nan. 1t win be the duty of the committee,
upon the arrival of the teachers, to see that
they are provided with places of entertain
ment, and also ascertain how many can be ac-
commodated, and report the same before the
Institute begins. The State Superintendent,
Gen. yohn Fraser, late President of the Uni
yersity at Lawrence, viii be here TO take
charge of the Institute, and will also deliver
an evening lecture npon the subject, sour
Public School System-1ts Defects and their
Remedies" Prot Wherrell, President Of the
Normal School at Leayenworth, Will also be
present and take prominent part in the exer-
cises, and deliver an evening lecture during
the Institute. Other prominent educators
will also be here to assist in the Institute. A
public lecture will be delivered each evening
during the week, and we hope our citizens
will show, by their attendance at these lee
lures, that no one has a greater enthusiasm
for the cause of education than they.
All sedgwick County teachers, who intend
to teach during the coming year, we shall ex-
pect TO attend the Institute, and the Examin-
ing Beard have decided to show preference,
in issuing certificates, to those teachers that
attend.
No such an opportunity for Improvement
was ever offered to our teachers before, and
we trust all will avail themselves Of the privi-
lege. j. l.. ZIMMERMAN,

by our people. The place was crowded to 1t.

The speaker was listened to with the most
marked attention throughout. For truth
the matter of the address with its subdivisions
was SO artistically woven and classically CON-

beauties of the composition and interlinkias
thoughts it was essential that every faculty OF
the mind should be kept fully attuned. 1.-The
Amalgamation of European Nationalities in

The lecture was first delivered by him before
the Young Mems Christian Association, at Bel

earnest solicitation OF many prominent citi
