teachers who were incapable of intoxicating
a better class of manners in their scholars
than that are not entitled to a certificate.
1 don't know what the qualifications for
certificate are, but don't think the interests
of education demand the demolition of
houses in the vicinity of the schools and l
am inclined to the belief that it is not essen
tial TO common education that every boy

There are others who have some petty

was told that great many children were
suffering with a sort of watery sore eyes and
was requested to look the matter up. spoke
Of it to DIR. Whitlock, Jr., who said that
there is regular sore eye epidemic among
children, but he couldn't tell just what to
call it. He ratified off a lot of Latin about
iretusirebus, cornicopis and that sort of
thing, but my constitution and bylaws were
not in position to grapple with a foreign

/ have frequently been requested 20 call
the attention of the proper authorities, who
ever they msy be, to holes in the sidewalk.
The last place of that sort my attention was
directed to is hole in front of the Episco-

a commercial point, i rather think our city
will lead the paradise of the Pacific coast"
"Ssid /: Mr.. Morse, you have interests
in great many western cities, how do rate
your Wichita property, compared with
your interests in other towns?"
''Yes, sir; have property in Kansas City.
Topeka, Emporia, Newton, Wellington.
Brainard, Cheny, Kingman, Anthony and
a number of other places, and l regard my
investment in Wichita the best property"

Meet Kansas man where you will, he talks
