novelty because they are not made

they are unequaled.

A correspondent. "Bar," sends in the
following bit of criticism:
1t has been suggested that the COM
mittees OH resolutions appointed at the
various teachers institutes held in the
county would please dispense with the
term "Excellently rendered music" in
speaking of the music furnished on the
occasion; it savors too much of butcher
shop language. Music, to be appre-
ciated in general, must consist of har-
monious flow of sounds, rather than the
written or printed characters which
represent sounds. Then compliment
the music by saying that it is excellent.
exquisite-use as many adjectiveS as
necessary, but never remind us of the
squeezing. grinding, trying out and
serving of 1t by saying that it is rem
dered.
AS one of the chief definitions given
by Webster is "to furnish, to contrib
ute, as, to render SERVICE" the use of
the word is etymologically correct.
However, in the interest of the origin
atty and unhackneyed phrases a de-
parture from the old style is devoutly
to be desired.

Our old friend, J. J. Eisenhauer, OF
New Baden near Abilene, Kansas, has
exchanged his large and valuable farm
for Denver property-14S lots-the deal
amounting to $4,000. He has con-
tracted to build SIS houses-the sub

already under way. Mr.. Eisenhauer
obtained brick yard in the deal, and
will move all his brick machinery to

manufacture of brick-brInging with
him about so of his Kansas employees.
He will erect on his property $4,000

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
]. S. FORD, COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

Eleven thousand teachers were en-
ployed in the State last year.
The county teachers association
meets in the central school building
Jan. 18th.
Kansas spent over 100000 last
year for school purposes. No wonder
she leads the world in intelligence.
Geo. W. Winans, the State Superin-
tendent-elect, led the Republican ticket
on majority at the recent election.
Prof. Jewett, S. NJ. Cook, H. F. Ora
ham, j. S. Ford and others will attend
the State teachers association meeting
next week.
There are IS pupils in the primary
room at Herington. 1t is presided
over by Miss Hunter. Such over
crowding can scarcely help being fatal
to the best work.
Only 292 out of the s,715 school dis
tricts in the State failed to have at
least three months school last year. In
1887 there were AT. We are progress
ing.
The institutes are giving considerable
space this winter to matters pertaining
to the teachers self development.
This is right and shows the proper feel
ing of progress.
The school population of the State is
532 ,010, of which 4O3,3 1851 were enrolled
in the public schools last year. What

with fortune-hunters enough to know
the folly of such movements. The
following from the Logan County

vein and well worth reading:
