EDUCATIONAL COLUMN
EDITED BY o. L. SMITH. Co. supt.

We were disappointed in not being
able to get to Logan last week.
Read carefully the appointments
for the May examinations.
The National Educational Associa-
ton convenes at Toronto, Canada,
this year.
We will try and give the program
of the subjects for the school officers
convention in June, by next week.
There are two mistakes in the Nor
NAL Circular. One is the printers
and proof readers, the other IS a bad
grammatical error.
Hon. John Mcdonald, of Topeka.
writes that he will surely be with us
ford to miss the day he visits us.
Miss Jennie Atchison closed a seven
months term of school in district No.
80, on April Bird This district is IN
the southeast part Of the county.
Miss Lolita Bowman closed a seven
months term of school in district No
ITO, on April 3rd. This is one of the
best country school counties.
We have received very neat set
of reports from Nettie Bechtel Miss
BechteI taught a six months term IN
district No. 40. She leaves our
county for California. Thus another
of our better teachers is gone.
Every effort possible should be
made to have a Reading Circle in
their own township. To the town
ship that sustains the best Circle IN
til next October, we will present them
with a fine flag as a reward This
flag to remain in their possession for
one year, and then it goes to the
township that sustains the best Cir
Gle for that year, shall receive the
flag. Which township will win the
flag in October?
DR.. j. II. Ely, of Norton. can be
employed for lecture in any part of
our county. If possible let US know
and we will do all we can to get the
DIR. to speak for you. We have no
better orator in Northwestern Kansas.
DR.. Ely has by his lectures enliyened
Norton county until it is so far ahead
of US in the matter of educational in
terests. 1 know this is not the KIND
of talk that is general, but the truth
had better be told. than story shield
ed The better way to advance is to
realize our weakness, and remedy the
faults.
The growing tendency of our
school work, is urging all to train for
something higher, and better than
mere technical book knowledge.
Training for citizenship, for manly
usefulness, for those attributes that
help to cultivate, round up, and COM
plete the true man, and the true wom-
an. Teachers are you STRIVING to help
your pupils to such standards? If
not, try by all means to do SO. With
such ideas, such ambitions, your own
work will be lightened, and your
pupils will remember you the longer
by your doing more work IN these
lines.

$3.50 IN ADVANCE

in this respect. The matter of chean-
ness is SO self evident that it need
have no further comment, than TO
have peoples attention called to this
fact If any one doubts this idea of
same money by having county uni
formity, we would ask them to call at
our Office and look over some of the
special offers that come to this Office.
and then compare with present prices.
The second way it saves money, IS
that the same set of books will do for
all parts of the county. Today, if a
parent moves from one district to an
other he is often compelled to buy a
new set of books, either completes or
IN part. It therefore maks our pres
ent system a burden to those who are
compelled to move, Saving of
money, lifting the burden of OUTLAY
to the means to pay, should be the
object of every individual and not on
ly the individual but the municipal
ity. School taxes and book expenses
are among the heaviest our people
have to bear, then we should strive
for this one thing IN our county, To
raise the standard and excellence OF
our schools, and do away with all the
needless expense possible.
L do not wish to be understood as
advocating any measure that will
cripple our schools, for the sake of
saving a few dollars. County uni
formity will raise the efficiency and
excellence of our schools, and will
save the people money by adopting
the system.
To be continued.

ATTORNEY GENERAL Ives has renderd
an opinion which places a new inter
probation on the law enacted at the
last session of the legislature relating
to county surveyors. The law pro-
vided that county surveyors should
keep their offices open at least one
day in the week for the purpose of
allowing persons who desired to
examine the state and county maps
and charts an opportunity to do so,
For this days service the surveyor
was to get 81 The attorney general
says there is nothing in the law to
prevent the surveyor from keep
ing his Office open six days IN each
week and charging S24 for it. Here

to get anyone to take the Office on &C
count of small pay, but if the attorn-
ney generals opinion holds good
there will be scramble for it next
fall.

JAMES A. TRoUTMAN, president of
the Kansas State Temperance Union,
has issued a call for prohibition
decennial celebration. In his call
President Troutman says:
The irst day of May, 1891, will
complete a decade of prohibition in
this state. Kansas Is a typical pro-
hibition state, and for that reason our
policy has been merciiessly assailed by
the allied liquor interests of the ma
ton. While we have been making
history for Kansas, we have been
fighting a moral battle for the whole
United States. That prohibition is
impreguably intrenched in the fund.-
mental law, after ten years of such
warfare, is significant fact.

Tortured by Burglars,

GREAT HARRINGTON, Mass. April 2S.-
While Gilbert Ford and family, who live
on the outskirts of this town, were at
church burglars visited the house. In-y
knocked at the door, which was opened by
Herbert Hoag, grandson of Ford.
One of the men asked for a drink of
water and as Hoag turned to go for glass
the man knocked him down while the
other man held a revolver at the boys
head. They blindfolded Hoag, tied him
to the leg of the sofa, bound his legs, tied
his hands to his ankles, put a slip-noose
around his neck, and tied the end of it to
his feet, bringing his head between his
knees. Hoags attempts to raise his head
nearly strangled him. The burglars then
ransacked the house, but only succeeded in
finding $40, and then left.
Hoag managed to attract the attention OF
a person in passing team and was liberia
ted, after being bound nearly two hours,
being purple in the face when discovered

board has received letter from banker
stating that small greenish insect Of un-

wheat Of Russell county, and that much
of the grain was turning yellow and dying.
The sheriff of Tyce county also reported
that some of the fields there were also
turning yellow from the same cause. Sec

county to Chancellor Snow of the Etate
university, with the request that he make
an exaanination of the wheat fields as soon
as possible. Grain dealers in Kansas City

age Hessian flies and chinch bugs are re-
ported to be working in eleven KAn.as

has been done as yet. Some localities,
however, report entire fields almost de-
stroyed. The wheat plant is so rank in
growth, however, that there is, perhaps,
an even chance Of the wheat growing
faster than the flies can eat it, Neverthe-

feeling anxious over the situation. a

Death of Philip l.. Moen.

WORCESTER, April A.-Philip l.. Moen,
president of the Washburn & Moen Manu-
featuring company, died at his home in
this city late yesterday afternoon. He
suffered stroke of apoplexy several days
ago and never rallied. He was born in
wilma, n. Y, Nov. 13, 1924, and has been
connected with the wire works in this city
forty-tive years. He leaves "a widow and
three children. He was widely known for
his practical benevolence, which took the
form of gifts to various charitable and
educational institutions. He was always
a Republican and Protectionist. He was
ono ~ 40 pl~:-a electors in 1894
