Citations organized. The northeast

School district No q is wanting a
teacher. This is a good district and
we hope they will soon secure some
one to teach their school.

"Black Beauty" Several have left
orders for their school. Who will be
the next to send in an order.
Any district desiring an education
al meeting can arrange for such a
meeting by making application at the
County Superintendent's Office.
We hope Phillips county will not
fall below the point of an attendance
of 100, to Teachers Association of
northwest Kansas, which meets at
Norton on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, November 26, q and %.
DR.. j. H. Ely will deliver one of his
highly instructing and inspiring edu-
cational lectures at Marvin, on Satur-
day evening, October 18th. It is un-
necessary for us to urge all that pos
sibly can to attend.
Remember the County Association
for the 9th. We are expecting the
largest attendance at this meeting,
that has been seen at a County Asso-
ciatIon. All the topics are of special
interest to teachers who are now teach
ing.
We would urge all teachers IN the
county to read 'the value of Geogra-
phy' IN the public school, in the Oc-
tober number of the Western School
Journal All the teachers in the
county should be subscribers for this
excellent Journal.
Teachers in all parts of the county
keep confessing that they do not keep
daily program posted up in their
school-room. To all who make the
good confession we would say repent,
and forthwith post up a program IL
some conspicuous part of your school
room.
The program for the next meeting
of the Kansas State Teachers Asso-
citation is nearly completed. The ex.
ercises will be of unusual value and
interest. A kindergarten department
has been added. Arrangements are
being made for a concert on one eve
ming and lecture by some one of ma
tional reputation on another. The
| Executive Committee confidently ex-
pect an attendance of 1900 teachers
All who propose to teach need tc
recollect that the very basis of fitness
for teaching, so rare as it can be gain
ed from study. is broad and accur
ate scholarship. To be a teacher, one
must first of all be a scholar.
To be open-minded, magnanimous
and manly; to have a love for the
scholarly vocation, and a wide anc
easy range of intellectual vision, are
of infinitely greater worth to the teach
er than any authorized set of technic
al rules and principals.-Page's T'heOrg
and Practice.
Shall we spare any thought, any eff.
fort. any cost, to make the public
school what we mean it to be, the cor
ner-stone of the ever loftier and more
splendid structure of political liberty
and to impress upon the teacher, by
our sympathy and care, the central
truth of the school system, that the
child is educated by the state, MOI
that he may read and write only, bu
that the trained power and noble in
telligence of the American either
may tend constantly more and more
to purify and perpetuate the Ameri
can republic George William Cur
