Ed. CAT:-In last weeks issue you stated
that the trouble with most of our teachers is
''that they are too lbOokish, and not enough
know it yourself. I wisk to say you state my
views exactly, and Furthermore. ateacher who
constantly uses q book in hearing a recita-
ton is no: fit to be trusted with the welfare of

paid according TO his merits and success. But
let me tell you that school boards are to
blame a great many times for securing q
teacher who is not qualified to
do his work without the book, In
choosing teacher the same tests should be
used rs in choosing physician. One has
charge of the physical part of a child and the
other the meatal. Which is the more import
ant! With the loss of one the other is of lit
tie consequence. But let us see if the same
tests are used If a member of the family is
sick ana the physician is called, the parent
does not ask himself how much will that doc
tor charge but is he capable of such trust?
Where was he educated. What experience
has he had: What mas been his success? On
the other hand when the physician of the
mind (the teacher) is to be secured, in most
cases the only question asked is '.How cheap
will you teach:'' No wonder there are so

those who are unqualified or too lazy to do
any thing else. They say that keeping school
IS no. very hard work. That may be so, but
teaching school and keeping school are two
very different things. And now. Mr. Editor,
since yOa are such friend o. education,
trust you will give Inc space in your valuable
paper to ask the teachers of Thomas county
to explain to their pupils the why Of the fol-
lowing questions:
Why does Is degrees of longitude equal one

Why 80 you invert the div iSCr in the divi-
sion Of fractions?
Why do you double the root for q trial divi-
sor, and why do you exclude the right hand
figure of the dividend in extracting the square
root!
Why 40 you square the root and multiply
by $40. :hen multiply the last figure of the
root by the rest and by 81, and then square the
last figure in extracting the cube root?
Why We're the Puritans so called?
Why is our religion called Protestant?

than any other point. There are many
reasons for this fact. Colby has one
road almost completed new without
any bonds upon the county. All the
eastern counties are voting bonds, but
the western counties are not. This
shows where the railroads put their
confidence. The one nearly complet-
Ell to Colby is the Oakley & Colby
Branch. We are to have another
from Ramona, Kans., direct to Colby.
This is the B. & NJ. railroad. The
B. & NJ. now has corps of sixteen
surveyors on this line who have made
a permanent survey to Hawkeye, Kas.,
rom Ramona. At this writing they
are II miles northeast of Colby and
coming directly this way. This is
coveted territory. Senator Hoard, of
Massachusetts,, has introduced bill
which will no doubt become a law,
giving the Z. p. system more liberty,
and untying its hands SO that it can
branch out, and it is already doing so.
This system wants to cut off the 3. &
NJ in northwestern Kansas, and will
probably extend the Colby Branch to
Denver Junction in the spring. The
B. & NJ. already sees this and wants
to get ahead of them, and it will I'M
