What Ellis county does not know
in political trickery and chicanery is
not worth knowing. The latest we have
heard of from there was the use made OF
the sample ballots which the new law
says shall be printed for the inspection
OF candidates and their agents. Said
sample ballots are exact copies of the
ballots to be voted and only differ in be-
ing printed on colored paper. Any
candidate or his agent, of whom he can
have as many as he desires can obtain a
sample ballot and by scheming, several
OF them. In Ellis county this was done
and the squares opposite the names OF
those they favored for election were cut
out of said sample ballots. These bal
lots were then given to such voters as
could be influenced and not able to read
or write, with instructions to lay them
on top of the ballot to be voted and
make an Wherever the square was cut
out of TIE sample ballot. This, of course,
would bring the X in front of the same
names on the ballot to be voted for and
amounted to the same as marking the
ticket and then have some one else to
vote it. By having these sample ballots
promptly returned they could be used a
dozen or more times each and a man
could, with four or five of them in each
precinct, change good many votes, es-
pecially 30 if foreigners resided in each
precinct who could neither read or
write. In this way any scheming poll
tician could change the result of most
any county in the state, and the defect
should be immediately remedied by
changing the law SO as to not allow said
sample ballots out of the hands of the
election boards. There is great danger
in this defect in the law and it needs
prompt action.-Russell Journal.

Successful Meeting of the Trego
County Teachers Association.


The second meeting of the Trego Coun-
ty Teachers association convened at the
Office of the County Superintendent.
The teachers present were Miss Artie
Hobbs, Jessie WEIGH, Sarah Wolf, Clara
McCollum, Elise Neuenschwander, Mary
Shepherd, Bertha Morgan, Carrie Sweet,
Nellie Sweet, Mrs. NJ. Hunt, Jessie F.
Taylor and Messrs. Barclay, Harlan, Opp.
Visitors present Messrs. Wolf, Hobbs
and Charles Leonard.
Although only thirteen teachers were
present most interesting and enthusi-
astic meeting was held. An interesting
paper was read by Miss Hobbs, of Coli
yer, entitled "Life in the Schoolroom."
A short paper on ''Moral Relation of
Teacher and Pupil, was read by Prof.
Opp. The need of sympathy between
teacher and pupil, an acquaintance with
their home life and surroundings, and
the living of life worthy to be pat
tern to pupils were considered as essen
tial to the proper moral relation between
teacher and pupil.
An able paper entitled "What Should
be Required to Graduate From the Com
mon Schools" was read by Hudson Har-
Ian. The writer spoke of the respect
always accorded diploma from any of
our standard institutions of learning,
and also the desirab ility of placing the
common school standard high enough to
meet all necessities arising in the trans
action of the practical everyday bust
ness of life, among the common (not
professionally people. He would require
an applicant for a common school diplo-
ma to be able to read intelligently the
newspapers and periodicals of the day
and the works of our standard authors /;
to spell 80 per cent. of the words in COM
mon use; to write legible hand; have
thorough knowledge of practical, bust
ness arithmetic; grammar enough to
carry on ordinary correspondence; a
fair knowledge of geography; to under
stand the causes that led to the wars in
which the United States has been en-
gagged and the results following; the
other important events in the history of
our country and good understanding
of the various political parties and the
doctrines of each and enough knowledge
of the United States constitution to un-
derstand the constitution itself and the
various privileges and duties of an
American citizen. He would strike out
physiology, philosophy and book-keep-
ing on account of the lack of time on the
part of the pupil. This paper provoked
much interesting discussion, some of the
teachers adding the most important
facts Of physiology to Mr.. Harlan's list
of studies.
After the lessons were assigned for the
Reading Circle work the meeting was
adjourned to meet December Both.

-Wa-Keeney is in shape to offer in
ducements to somebody who will build
up an academy or college of some kind
in our city. For the present and for
several years to come we will have several
good rooms in our public school building
that will not be used and they doubtless
could be secured. While it might be
difficult to induce manufactorys to To-
cate here the idea of a college is, we
think, entirely feasible and we have
some natural advantages that ought to
materially assist us in our efforts in that
direction. We have one of the prettiest
towns on this line of road, the healthful-
ness of this community cannot be sur
passed and at the present time there
would be but little competition. We
don't care whether it is sectarian or
not, but when times brighten up little,
which will doubtless be very soon, it
will be worth the effort to see what can
be done.

Trego County Schools.

Extracts from the superintendent
annual report to the State superintend-
ent for the year ending October l, 1893
There are forty-two organized districts
in Trego county. Of this number two
failed to have school. Forty districts
maintained schools for an average term
of twenty-five weeks on an average levy
of 80 mills. One district was fortu-
nately able to maintain school twenty
eight weeks on levy of ~ mills, while
four others had only twenty weeks on a
levy of 20 mills, which is the minimum
allowed by law. This unjust inequality
is owing to the unequal valuations of
districts which run from $11 81 in No.
SO to 1921 ,349 in No. l. Fourteen dis
tricts, only one-third of the whole num-
Der, are benefited by railroad taxes
another source of injustice. In these
fourteen districts we find, as rule, the
best buildings, most apparatus, the best
wages paid for the longest terms and,
consequently, the best teachers employ
ed, all coupled with the lowest rate OF
taxation.
The forty districts maintaining schools
required forty-five teachers. Of male
teachers, fifteen were employed to teach
1O3 months for $4,245, or an average
monthly salary of $41.12 Thirty-four
females taught 176 months for SCOTS or
an average of $34.53 per month.
The number of school buildings is for
ty-one and the number of schoolrooms
forty-eight. The estimated value of
school property, including buildings and
grounds, is $28, 520. Four school houses
were erected during the year ending
June 80, 1898, at a cost OF 81 $50. Three
of these are frame, the other soddy,
costing about $50. School house bonds
were issued to the amount of $500 MAX
ing the bonded indebtedness SIS, 425,
which is q net decrease of s., 900.
trict clerks is 473 males and 433 females
or total of 900, being an Increase of
eleven for the year. OF this number 821
were enrolled in schools and the average
attendance was 400.
Fifty-six persons applied for teachers
certificates during the year ending June
30. Probably some of these applied
more than once. Fifteen applicants
were rejected. During the year six first
grade, fourteen second grade, seventeen
third grade and four temporary certifi-
Gates were issued; total forty-one. The
average age of persons granted certif-
Gates is Is and only two had no previous
experience in teaching. Two teachers
are graduates of Normal schools, ten
hold first grade, fifteen second grade and
sixteen third grade certificates.
Each of the forty schools was visited
by the superintendent during the year,
and the whole number of visits was six
ty-four.
No new districts were organized dur
ing the year.
The following financial exhibit" is
compiled from district clerk and treas
urer's reports shows how literally Kan
sas schools are supported even on the
frontier:
