here during the convention. This is
more than double the attendance OF any
previous session of the Kansas assocla-

of teachers ever held in this or any
other state. The weather has been ex-
traordinary and the teachers return to
their homes delighted with their visit
to the capital city. 1t has been
pleasant and profitable week to them.
The association adjourned to meet IN
this city next year.

ence, the speaker, in the name of the
teachers Of Shawnee county, handed
the flag to the president to be by him
