The EAIPoRIA News of the 5th inst.
publishes a list of new buildings erected
in that prosperous town during the past
year. It includes thirty-fivc business
houses and one hundred and eleven pri-
vate residences, making q total of one
hundred and fortyrsix buildings Most
of these are large and costly structures
The NEWS says the prospect is that the
building operations during the present
year will far exceed those of the year
just closed. Emporia has completed ar
rangements for building water works, on
the Holly system. The A. T. q s. f.
and the IL. X. & 7. railroads cross each
other at that place. and the former has a
branch To Howard City, Elk county.
The State Normal school is located at
Emporia. The prospects of that
place are most encouraging. II has a
beautiful site, in the midst of rich
tributary country, and is populated by
an enterprising and intelligent class of
citizens. Its churches, schools, hotels,
business houses and private residences
are all substantially built, and numer-
Gus industrial establishments add yigor
TO its growth. Emporia is n typical
Kansas town. full of genuine Kansas en-
terprise, thriff and intelligence. and will
always rank among the leading cities of
the state.-Atchison Champion.
The above was written on the receipt
OF the DAILY News containing the first
list. Additions were made the next day
which increased the number of buildings
to nearly 200.

A recent decision has been made by
the supreme court of the state, the result
of which is summarized as follows, by
auditor Bonebrake:
mo person can hold state school land
against an actual settler, by making
Improvements on such land, neither can
| a person settle" upon state school land
without making improvements, and
hold the same against an actual settler
who makes improvements. In other
words, to hold school lands, the person
must be an actual settler (residenD and
must make improvements"
The district board of certain district
in Lyon county admitted pupils from an
adjoining district, on condition that a
tuition fee of one dollar per month per
scholar be paid in advance. This fee
not being paid as agreed, the non-resi-
| dent pupils were sent home. Their par,
ents sent them back. The board then
requested the teacher to send the pupils
home again, or at least not to hear them
recite. The teacher refused to comply
with either request. The above state
ments were sent to the state superintend-
ent, requesting his decision which he
sends as follows, viz:
Each district board has absolute con-
| troll of the admission of students from
adjoining districts. In my opinion it is
the duty of the teacher to enforce the
orders of the board of directors in re-
gard to the admission of students not
belonging in the district. He is not au-
thorized to give his time to the instruc-
ton of nonresident children unless so
instructed by the district board"

District No. 80 has made some prepa-
ration in forming a course of study prior
to the adoption of the graduating sys-
tenn. The board has called a district
meeting in order to adopt the afore-
named course. Every one seems to be
alive to the advantages afforded by the
system. Superintendent Wharton deliv-
cred lecture some time ago which had
the desired effect, viz: to waken the in
terests in educational matters. We hope
the graduating system will be universal
ly adopted over the county. H. L. E.
