THINKS INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.

A member of the city council stated yes
terday that he expected the paving ques-
ton to come up with full force and effect
next Monday night. The paving commit
tee would be back possibly tomorrow and
made the trip hoping to be able to get some
data on the question and ready to fire it
at the council. What it would be for i'm
mediate use he could not predict, but when
the time came for discussing the material
TO use he supposed the committee would
De ready to make report of some import
ance. Concerning this feature he seemed
to think it would be good plan for all
other members of the council to make
speciality on getting information on the
question. In his judgment the paving
question Is second only to the sewer ques-
ton which has never deeply concerned the
CITY In his opinion no councilman could
do justice to the city on SO important a
question without looking the matter up
thoroughly.
On being asked what in his judg-
ment each member onght to do he
answered that three hundred weeks
OF travel could bring any one before pave
ments of many kinds; including the most
popular and three or four days talk with
city officials who have had the question in
hand for few years would be facilities
that would give information to Wichita
councilman almost invaluable and should
by all means be secured. In his Judgment
member Of the council ought to make
such a trip even if he WAS compelled TO
pay his own expenses in the absence of any
paving company which would offer a fly
around the circle" at said corporations
expense. In fact he seemed to think that
it would be much better for each member
of the council to pay his own expenses and
20 for business and not accept the offered
"courtesies' of any paving corporation,
where less attention would be given to the
question in hand and possibly an effort
made to iufluonce the result with silent
forces. He was OF the conclusion the opin-
ion of councilman who had not accepted
such courtesies would be worth more than
that of one who had in the question of Sc
Letting the kind of material to be used.
He closed his remarks with the observa-
ton that it is time to advertise for bids to
pave Main and Market and no time should
ha lost

TO WICHITA MANUFACTURERS.

The commissioner of labor and industrial
statistics for the state of Kansas writes US
that the. reason that Wichita fails of
proper showing in his report, is because
our manufacturers pay no attention to his
blanks, failing to fill them out. Forty
seven manufacturers out of sixtv-seven
who were furnished with blanks by mail
this spring, have failed to fill mp and re-
turn. This work entails no expense to the
manufacturer and is the work Of but a
few minutes. He writes us that he will
again send blanks, which we hope will
receive prompt attention.

vITRIFIED OR PAVING BRICK.

Mr.. G.. w. Harptstrite yesterday brought
to the EAGLE Office sample Of vitrified
brick made from clay procured on the
Tolar farm, about six miles from the city.
The brick were moulded from stiff clay
and sent to Decatur, ILL.,, to be burned.
The subjoined certificate from the Decatur
Tile company. by whom the brick were
burned, and who have supplied that place
with large portion OF the brick used
there for paving purposes. will convey a
better idea Of the quality of the brick sent
from here. burned by them and returned,
than any estimate made by one Inexperi-
enced In such matters:
DECATUR, ILL.,. August 10, 1889.
To whom IL may concern:
This is to certify that c. W. Harpstrite,
of Wichita, Kan, sent us eight brick to be
found them to be equal to the brick used
for paving the streets Of Decatur, Ill.
DECATUR TILE Co.,
j. &. Shea, Supt.
The EAGLE is not welded to any one
material for paving the streets Of the city,
as has been frequently remarked before,
but it unequivocally favors the policy Of
patronizing home in preference to any
other place whenever it can be done with
anything like equally as satisfactory re-
suits. Vitrified brick have been used in
number of places and with good satisfac-
ton, and if that material, of unquestioned
quality, can be produced at home and in
sufficient quantity to meet the demands,
every consideration suggests its use, at
least TO a very liberal extent. The ques-
ton of home made vitrified brick is being
thoroughly Investigated in practical way
and will no doubt be fully demonstrated
by the time the city is ready to begin the
work of paving.

THE PICNIC.

Promptly at the appointed time the
teachers and their friends were ready to
start for the suburbs on the electric motor.
AT first there seemed to be some difficulty
to get the cars started. owing to the extra
heavy weight of Sedgwick county talent,
but after turning on a few extra volts
everything moved off smoothly. The
watermelons, grapes, etc, got there first,
so it was not difficult matter to have a
good old time Everybody was in the
best of spirits and all had picnic in the
true sense of the word. 1t was astonish-
ing at the way the way the watermeions
and grapes disappeared when Pro-
fessors Pence, Naylor and Charles
gathered about them The lunch
was quite recherche affair,
and was enjoyed exceedingly enjoyed by
all. The hammocks were well tested,
as in one were counted at least fifteen per-
sons, and the way they broke down one
was picnic. The boats were impressed
into service, and the boys got stuck" as
usual ton the sand bsrs) Altogether the
affair was grand success, and everyone
went home quite well satisfied with the
afternoons pleasure.
NOTES.
We feel sorry Tor the picnic committee,
as there seems to be blood on the moon"
because of a slight conflict of the ar
rangements.
Two or three good duckings are report
ed. These resulted from an inability to
maintain the equilibrium while standing
in boat to push it Off a sand bar.
Some of the boys had to
get out and wade.
The teachers know how to have a good
time and can lay aside their wonted dig
nifty for few hours and become young
again.
One young man wanted the picnic post
poned for week. We presume he didn't
want to eat anything during that time in
order to be well prepared.
Now, that the great picnic is over, let us
all go TO work with renewed efforts and
endeavor to make the last seven days of
the term count with good solid work.
All are invited to attend Prof Laugh |
Inns lecture at the Christian church this |
evening. 1t will be of special benefit to
teachers, and as the professor is SO we'll |
known, nothing more need be said.

THE COUNTY NORMAL.

Thursdays session opened with the usual
large attendance and the customary en-
thusiasm. AS the true teacher never tires
of school work and of making adequate
preparation for more effective efforts in
! his profession, so the teachers of this coun-
ty normal show by their earnest efforts to
profit by the methods discussed in the
normal, that they are composed of the true
"mettle."
The singing, scripture reading ETC. were
impressive as usual and all the classes
were filled with lively members, who were
ready for any argument, be it ever so
! recondite. The physiology class was very
busy with the subject of lymphatics.
These are small tubes which
are neither reins nor arteries,
generally found where the arteries end and
the veins begin. Their walls are so thin,
as to allow osmosis of the oratory portion
of the blood in order to battle the tissues,
thus supplying oxygen and removing
effete waste matter from the body.
Grammer was quite interesting and
several good points were made. At the
close Of the recitation Prof Charles in
formed the class that their next lesson
would be all about participates and he ex-
pected all to be we'll informed upon the
subject because Of the experience they
would derive at the picnic. partaking of
lemons cake, boat rides, etc.
History was replete with good points
and was lively recitation. The class
considered the history of the great political
parties from the time of Washington
down to the present day, with the causes
of similarity and divergence of their plat
forms. The Wings. Tories, Democrats
and Republicans were all considered from
an historical standpoint, hence there was
no particular manifestation of party feel
ing to mar the plea-antness and interest of
the recitation.
The instruction il geography consisted
of outlines of the world and the different
continents, showing the area, population,
railroads and the principal crops of each
respective continent. The superiority of
America over the others was then shown
to be due to it's natural resources which
are being so rapidly developed.
The school organization class was con-
Quoted by Professor Pence and consisted
of many very good ideas about discipline,
methods and the results to be attained in
the school room. The following are some
of the good thoughts the professor i'm
pressed upon the minds of his auditors:
l. The school must be orderly. 2 The
teacher should be thoughtful, good-na-
tured. firm and just 5. There should be
cheerfulness on the part of both teacher
and pupils. f. Pupils should be quiet,
orderly and industrious. 8. Glasses should
move promptly and quietly. This class
was of much value to both experienced
teachers and those who are just COM
mencing the arduous duties of the school
room. After few minor matters were
of the institute adjourned, to
meet at 3 o'clock and devote the afternoon
to fun and frolic.
