The Lyon County Teachers.

MONDAY, July 20.
Institute opened by singing "The Gates
Affair."" led by Supt Wharton DevO-
tional exercises conducted by DR. Hoss.
At roll-call about fifty-two teachers an
swered.
Monday morning recitations in any
school are generally not the best, and
those OF the Institute are not altogether
exceptions, still, in most of the classes
the usual degree of interest and informa
ton was exhibited.
i history class had for to-day's lesson
the administration of Washington, which
epoch, as taught by Mrs. Morse, Is very
interesting In fact, an enthusiastic
teacher can make almost any subject,
however dry when ordinarily taught, in
tereSting.
The Il geography class were occupied
to-day with the Atlantic states, and the
y class with France and England
B arithmetic had an interesting lesson
on the metric system.
The B class in didactics are at present
discussing the various modes of govern
ment for country schools. The instuc-
tiOns i'll this class are very practical.
Language, compositions and analyses
of the same.
4 grammar class today considered
the etymology of the word worth in such
sentences as the following; "Woe worth
the day" and Potatoes are worth forty
cents peck"
The two classes in music are doing
good work under Prof SOgaTd, and will
be able to give us some first class music
on Friday night, judging from the eff

TUESDAY, July 81.
The institute opened with fifty men,
hers, who were determined to Hold the
Fort" against ignorance.
The announcement that Mrs Morse
would he absent on account of i'll
health, was received with regret by all,
for all knew they would lose something
| important. Some of her classes met as
usual, appointed Il chairman and pro.
| ceeded with their search for informa-
| ton.
The music, conducted by Professor
| Sogard, is better than that of any of our
| former institutes Instruction has been
! given very Systematically, and the pupil
teachers will undoubtedly carry out very
| important ideas in music TO their re-
| spective schools.
The arithmetic class was discussing
the problem: a man sold goods at 90
! per cent. gain; if they had cost $3.50
more he would have lost 90 per cent
| What was the cost?
The botany class analysed the potato
flower, and traced another, name un-
known, as far as the order ldbidtae.
This class has also gathered facts which
will be practically useful in the rural
schools.
Entomology had the ortt0pterd, cs-
pecially the grasshopper, locust, cricket,
cicada and katydid. Geology, the soils
and their formation.
The institute will close with an enter
tainment and social next Friday even
ing, TO which all are cordially invited.
Let us all strive to make this as pleas
ant as possible, that the memory of this
| may reach far into the future, brighten

In Behalf of the suffering:


1t is with shame and regret that we
note the humiliating fact that not more
than dozen persons responded to the
call for IL meeting at the court house last
evening, TO hear the report of Captain
johnson, of Rush county, in relation to
the suffering on the Kansas frontier,
which was briefly but forcibly portrayed
by the speaker. With the small hand
full present, however, an organization
was effected by appointing mayor Gil
more chairman, and Messrs. Heather
ingtOn, of the Sentinel, and Butts, of
THE NEWS, secretaries of the
meeting. The business accomplished
was the designation by the chair, on
the motion of w. F. Ewing, of county
central committee to consist of repre-
sentative from each ward IN Emporia,
and the trustees of the different town
ships in the county; and which will EN-
brace the following named persons: Elm
poria-lst ward, Col. H. C. Whitley /;
2nd ward, Ed Borton; 3rd ward, w. S.
jay; 4th ward, Van McCulloch. In the
cOunty-Agnes City, W. b. Vandivort;

Starr; Elmendaro, Joseph Campbell !;
EmporIa, Chas. White; Fremont, JOS
Frost Jackson, Jacob Jacob, jr.; Pike,
Chas. Lynch; Reading, Oliver Phillips;
Waterloo, T. f. Burns. These persons
are requested to meet at the court house
on Monday, August I'd, to take measures
for the appointment of subcommittee
and such other steps as may Ce deemed
eXpedient to push forward this COM
mendable charity. 1t is no time to stop
to discuss the possibilities of western
Kansas, or TO censure the railroads,
which are largely responsible for the
trouble. 1t is enough to know that
many of our fellow creatures are
starving, and are at the mercy of
the fierce wolf that keeps watch at their
doors. \ christian people should find
this sufficient TO arouse them TO Imme-
diate action, and with all of their appar-
ent apathy in this regard, we believe
our citizens are not so lost to pity as to
Ignore this final appeal. Let us wake
up to the realization of the tremendous
import of the claims made upon us, the
awfully vital interests involved, and
prove equal TO the demands of the great
occasion
