Elk. Superintendent Colby is with
rs again. only he has degenerated
enough to leave the teachers calling
and become an editor. Nevertheless
we are glad he is among us again,
and that his work is no farther re-
moved from an educator than to be
an editor.
Several have not as yet made their
desires known in regard to the Read
ing Circle. We expect to see every
live teacher in the county enrolled IN
It's membership during the coming
year. Others than teachers are as
slsting in this work and are prepar-
ing to receive its benefits. Will you
fellow teacher be excelled In this
work by one not engaged in our pro-

Miss Alice Carman left for Oregon
on last Monday evening. Miss Car
man was one of the strongest teach
ers in the county, being a graduate
of the State Normal. We are sorry
to see those of our stronger teachers
leaving the county. 1t is to be hoped
that we can retain in the near future
as many graduates as any other coun-
ty in northwestern Kansas. We
need more of them.
"Barne's General History" IS stand
ard. 1t is a work that should adorn
every library in every home in our
county. You can get this book at re-
duced rates by becoming a member
of our State Reading Circle. What
township will be the first to perfect u
thorough organization, by organizing
township circle to be subject to the
county Reading Circle, as the county
circle is subject to the State?
We should be pleased to receive
the subscription of any teacher who
is not taking any of our educational
journals. BE up with the times in
this respect. Take the Western
School journal of Topeka, the Pop
atIar Educator of Boston Mass. and
the Public School Journal, of Bloom
ington, Ill. We would recommend
the Western School journal first on
account of its being our own state
educational paper.

If there is anything that looks sad
for boys own sake, it is to see him
loafng around when he might just as
well be in school. We often hear ex-
cuses that are attempted to be made,
yet the whole matter sifted down is a
careless disregard of the child's future
welfare, by the parent. It is often
said she does not like the teacher,
and I don't believe that teacher knows
much ETC. A question seems to us
to be sufficient! How much worse
company is he keeping while loafng
around on the street or over the coun-
try? "He has not the clothes suffi
Gent to 60" If he has clothes suffi.
cient to loaf, he has clothes sufficient
to go to school; But the saddest
picture of all is to see these young
people growing up to be INDECENT
self wIlled and disrespectful. From
the boys we are to get our future
paupers, criminals and disregarders
of law. School boards, what are Vol
doing with those loafers in your dis
tricts? We need vigorous action con
corning these paaple.
