drawing to a close, and the Institute
will soon be thing of the past.

delivered on Thursday evening in the
Presbyterian church, by Miss Ida A.
Ahlborn. She selected ~ her subject,
Educational Forces" of which she
enlarged upon the "home, school,
church, press, and society"
BY this lecture she showed that she
is not an unimportant factor in some
of the forces which she SO pleasantly
elaborated.
The enrolment to date shows nine
ty-two students in attendance, which
alone speaks of the Institute.
1t Is expected that eminent educa.
tionists of the State, will deliver lee
lures before the Institute during the
coming week. Among these may be
mentioned DR.. Mcvicar of Washburn
college, Prof. Wherrell of the Kansas
Normal School and Business Institute,
DIR. G. W. Hoss Of the Educdtionist,
