efforts of tiny tots of six and seven years of
age, and is perfect curiosity. In 1t is not
only found the originality of the little folks
in the language lessons, but the
originality of the teachers of the
various schools in their methods
OF teaching. Here is one school where the
teachers gives certain words and requires the
little ones to construct sentences containing
them; and here another school where the
teacher has drawn pictures of birds, cats,
dogs, aud children and the pupils have de-
scribed the pictures. Another teacher has
allowed the petite mortals to have their

and to write from them their own
biographical sketches. This little

BACK AT THE DESKS.
Nearly Thirty Thousand School Chill
dren Enrolled Yesterday,
THOUGH THERE WERE NO STUDIES.
One Very Interesting Volume Among Many
for the Exposition.
FATHER SHEEDY'S NEW SCHOOL OPENED

The roouss of the Central Board of Educa-
tiou p. esented an animated appearance all
day yesterday, and the emphatic jingling of
the telephone bell formed an appropriate
accompaniment to the hustle and hustle re-
sulting from the opening of the schools.
There were handshakes and "how-
do-you-oos" by the score, Superintend-
ent Luckey and Secretary Reisfar greeting
each and every principal who came in, and
each and every principal greeting each and
every other principal thev happened to meet
in the rooms. The greetings were not con-
fined to the stereotyped style, either, but
frequently partook of the jocose, and occa-
sionally the mysterious as reference was
made to some midsummer escapade at
the seashore or mountain resort that
perhaps did not SAVIOR of the
highest intellectually. But vacation is
over, school has reopened, and as the prin-
cipals called to obtain the necessary blanks,
paw rolls and reports and the school caleu-
dars they all reported considerable increase
in the enrolment. 1t is estimated that the
enrolment of 1S90-91 will exceed 26, 500,
which is a very substantial increase over
any preceding year. Regarding this point,
Secretary Reisfar said yesterday:
at is nine years ago to-day since 1 took
my position in this chair. and L tell you the
growth of the public schools in that time
has been remarkable. Not that have been
instrumental in the increase, but am COM
petent to judge of it, and there
are so many more schools and pupils
and teachers and principals than there
were then, and these rooms were not nine
years ago to-day the busy ones they are
now. No, thev were lonesome in compari-
son. A number of familiar faces, however,
will be missed this coming year, as there
are Ga teachers who were with us last year
not identified with the work at the present
time"

THE NORMAL IN PROGRESS.

The Normal at the Lewis academy is
still in progress covering proposed ground
with rapidity and conscientious accuracy.
The interest is kept up and every day
brings something new to urge the members
to renewed exertions.
Professor Charles class in grammar
handled the adverb yesterday defining and
classifying it. Difficult constructions
were discussed at length. The exact force
and significance of the adverb was made
clear and its correct usage exemplifed by
numerous and curious sentences.
In reading there was review drill upon
selections illustrating force. The distinc-
tion between noise and force was theme
for elaboration.
The bookkeeping class labored with the
theory of posting and the work preparatory
to closing the ledger. How much the
theoretical bookkeeper has to learn before
he is able to take charge of practical set
of books was compared with how little the
practical bookkeeper knows about the art
| of bookkeeping as taught in the schools.
The teacher who gives the pupil a clear
idea of the necessity for keeping books and
a general idea of the theory has done his
part and the learning rests with the pupil.
The natural philosophy class was pre-
sided over by Mr.. Waller, Prof. Naylor
taking back seat. The topics discussed
were the pressure of liquids and gases,
the laws governing them, and their utility.
respiration was the topic considered by
the "a" physiology class, special atten-
ton being given to the anatomy of those
organs. One amusing point was that a
line was accidently drawn, connecting
Dodge City (Which was located on a map
Of Kansas left on the board from
geography with a sketch of vital organ
of the human anatomy. Those who have
been in Dodge will see the point.
In constitution quite a spirited dis
cussion was INDUCED in regarding the
salaries of members of congress. 1t was
decided that they received sufficient com
pensation to enable them to live in grand
style and not use all of their income.
NOTES.
Teachers who think their pronunciation
is perfect should visit Miss Bryson's class
and get few pointers.
The talk between times yesterday was
| regarding the lecture this evening by Prof
Bloss. Expectations run high and it is
safe to say none will be disappointed.
The lectures by leading physicians are a
| feature of the normal and greatly add tc
the interest of the coruse. 1t is feature
that will be continued.
The watermelon reporter is dead. The
victim of that bright idea that he had.
One of the ladies has kindly volunteered
to furnish normal notes to the papers.
The social features of the normal would
be interesting and should be given more
publicity.
Teaching and learning sometimes get
singularly mixed.

THAT SILK WOMAN.

Yesterday a warrant was issued in Squire
Mosley's court for the arrest of Maggie j.
Palmer on a charge of embezzlement, Ella
Sipe being the complainant The com
plant sets forth that the defendant fraudu-
lently obtained money from the com
plainant to the amount of 500 which she
the defendant, had appropriated to her
own uses. Miss Palmer's whereabouts
were known to be in Medicine Lodge and
Deputy Ratliff served the war
rant in that place last eve
ming. Some time ago the EAGLE
made reference to some of her transactions
in dealing with parties having silk to sell
and no explanation was vOuchsafed al
though one was invited.
Miss Palmer was the moving spirit in
the Southern Kansas Silk Association
whose object was the formation of silk
colony The preliminary steps towards
the formation of this colony have been
taken and much of the money paid in. The
office has since been closed here and
Miss Palmer's apparent GOODNESS with
regard to the colony has given rise
suspicious on the part of the colonists and
is the foundation of the present charge.
Several different properties were leased
for the purpose of starting the colonists in
the work of actual silk raising but some
excuse has been found to cancel these
agreements and as yet she has taken no
definite or satisfactory steps. Aside from
this phase of her work she would accept
silk to sell on commission and it is assert
ed that very unsatisfactory returns were
made of these sales
! The friends of Miss Palmer in this city
say that Miss Palmer will be able to eX-
plain everything in a satisfactory manner
and will be able to account for every cent
of money in her possession. They allege
! that certain difficulties have been encoun-
tered which have delayed her in the forma-
ton of the colony and that on her return
the matters will all be clared up.

wHoLEsALING WICHITA.

Big headlines in the EAGLE announce
that Wichita is ''once more a winner" A
''big jobbing house, says it is coming
The jObbing house that comes shrieking
into a town asking for bonus is like the
big circus-when it gets all the money it
can it folds its tents and steals away
Atchison Champion.
That is all to true as a rule. But the
"big jobbing house, to which the Champ
ion alludes asked no bonus, concession or
advantage The truth is, outside of the
principals and their lawyer, nobody in
Wichita ever heard a whisper of the mat
ter until the lease for the building had
been negotiated for and secured. The
only bonus the firm wanted consisted of
the superior advantages presented by the
city for the jobbing trade, advantages of
location advantages of railway facilitie S
and advantage of prestige as the only job
bling point within two hundred miles
The Champions attention is called to the
half-page list of wholesaling and manu-
featuring concerns boosted by Wichita
and found elsewhere in this paper. That
list of itself-and it is strictly correct as
far as it goes-is evidence enough that
Wichita as a jobbing point is witout a
rival so far as the territory she Is endeaY-
oring to serve is concerned.

Babies in Public.

When one sees daily, as one does, the
criminal carelessness and ignorance with
which the babies of the world are treated
by their mothers, one wonders that the
race has ever managed TO live through its
teething period. One awful hot day a
woman got into crowded elevated car
with a small baby in her arms. OF course
somebody gave her a seat, and she took IL,
holding the baby down across her knees. In
spite of the day the little thing had veil
over its face-though just why there
should always be q fixed and eternal re-
lationship between wells and babies Is one
of the marvels of creation. And it had on
not only veil, but heavy wadded coat as
well, and there it lay in all these wrappings
on its mothers lap, with perspirinS mass
of humanity close around it, too low for a
breath of fresh air, and y gasped and
painted while that mother sat up and
thought herself kindly disposed and
Christian woman, no doubt. What the
baby should have done to have done itself
credit was to have died right then and
there. A proper spirited baby would

rhs. Woman Was q Good Traveller.


One morning recently hrs. Charles Pen
nypacker completed her arrangements for
a trip TO visit her son in Chicago, and went
to PhiladelDhia to secure her place on the
train. Station Agent McNilehsel, Of West
Chester, had at her request telegrSphed to
Philadelphia the previous evening before
o'clock to have reserved for bsr berth in
the middle section on the New York and
Chicago limited express, so Mrs. Penny
packer, ON reaching the Broad Street sta
ton, went TO the ticket agent and asked
for her ticket TO Chicago on the limited.
She'was greatly surprised when the ticket
agent said; II can't eel you sticAet for
that train. Every place il taken, and you'll
have to wait until tomorrow" In vain
she told him she lad photographed the pre-
vious evening and secured her berth, the
agent had received 40 such message, the
record was not on his books, and no section
had been saved. Mrs. Psnnypacker had no
idea OF giving up yet, so she wentto the
Pullman Office, stated her case, and found
thab there, too, no message hsd been re-
ceived from West Chester, and there
seemed to be no way by which she could
secure her rights and go her way that day.
But this plucky West Chester lady was
not yet discouraged, and determined TO aft
the matter to ita source that the blame
might rest on the proper shoulders. So TO
turning to the ticket Office she inquired for
the telegraph Office, and being directed to
the third floor she assembled TO 1t, &C
