The State School for the Deaf and
1.tr~,n

Probably 10 other State Institution is
calculated 20 interest one more then the
School For the Deaf. located at Olathe.
1t Was started first as 4 small class, in
Baldwin, Douglas county, but by legis-
lative act was permanently located at
Olathe some twenty-three years ago.
From 4 small beginning, it has grown
to be one of our largest and noblest
State institutions, fully up to the times
in the peculiar methods adopted to reach
children shut off from the ordinary ave-
rue Of misunderstanding, and alive
to the requirements Of that class of our
fellow-citizens. Surprising as it may
seem, these are in regular attendance
at this school some two hundred and
twenty-five boys and girls, young men
and young women, all from our own
State Of Kansas More then this, we
are informed by superintendent Walker
that the census returns show a large
number still who are not, but aught to
be, going to school.
The course of instructions comprises
an ordinary common-schooi education,
the mastery of some mechanical trade,
such as carpentry, cabinet-making shoe
making, and printing; and in the case
Of girls, sewing, homework, fancy
needleworl and drawing and painting
as there tastes may run. Ordinarily it
takes ten years for deaf and dumb
person to complete the course, perfer-
able from eight to eighteen years of
age. vt the close of the last term, in
June, there was graduating class of
seven young ladies and gentlemen who
have been fitted to inter upon life du-
ties. During the simmer one of this
class has received an invitation to be-
come teacher in the Missouri State
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb.
Il Is the aim Of the Institution to
take deaf children, or those too deaf to
be educated in our common schools, and
place them on an equal footing with
| their hearing brothers and sisters.
The class Of semi mutes, OF those
who have become deaf after having
once used artlculated speech, are given
special drill in articulation, and in many
many case the speech is retained in a
sufficient way to be of use in business
and social converse.
It is the special desire of the
Superintendent to have the Institution
brought to the notice of all persons
having deaf children, and to that end
persons would be aiding the cause of
humanity by taking pains to report
such children and urge their attendance
at this school, which is the only one of
the kind in the State, ard is entirely
free-tuition, board, books and all
10 the children Of citizens of Kansas.
The Superintendent, Mr.. S. 7. Walker,
offers to furnish all needed information
if addressed at Olathe. The next
term of school opens the, 1th of Sep
TENDER, when there will be enrolled
some 30 pupils, about so of whom are
entering school for the first time.

The idea that certain newspapers
have advanced, that Mr. Blaine will
force an issue on the Behring sea mat
ter, that his name may 60 laundering
down the ages in connections with the
event, is surely an erroneous one. Mr..
Blaine is we'll aware that there is No me-
cessity for such action. His place in
history is already indelibly fixed as the
author of the Mulligan letters.

summon SecretaryBaine and give orders

Its stated by high agricultural author
ity that the average product of Kansas
farms this season viii represent money
value OF $13 to the acre. The average
yield Of wheat to the acre will not fall
below twenty-five bushels. At 80 cents
a bushel, which is certainly low esti-
mate, the value 10 the acre would be
S12 30. Assuming that corn viii yield
an average of fifty bushels and that it
will bring 20 cents, the value to the
acre would be so. Oats will yield in
Kansas eighty bushels to the acre and
will bring at least ID cents a bushel,
making $500 to the acre. These esti.
mates, both as to yield and prize, are
liable to fall below rather than exceed
the true figures. so that the claim of an
average product of sl3 to the acre is
not Far from correct At any time with
in the past two years many of the farms
which have made that much money
this season for their owners. could have
been purchased for s13 cash per acre.
1t is the man who stays by Kansas
