that Miss King, Mrs. Yves, and Miss Reynolds
propose opening select schools in the Fourth
ward building, Miss Ross will teach in the
First ward, and We hope the others viii take
a good rest. Prof Copley goes at once to
Paola for two months resf and visit aud bust
ness, and in July conducts the institute at
Hutchinson. and in August conducts again
in Seneca, Nemaha county. He receives the
third highest wages paid in the State for in.
sutute work, and has more invitations than
he can accept. He wishes us to state that he
is not candidate for State Superintendent.
Miss Wood, of the High school, has receiv.
ed her State certificate enabling her to in
struct in any institute in Kansas. We hear
