the territory at towns which after

been obliterated from the map. John
Martin cast his lot with Tecumseh, In
shawnee county, a settlement of much
promise, the child Of the pro-slayery
party, 1t enjoyed the seat Of the
county government, the federal court
and the government land Office and
was crowded with people, mostly
democrats. When the pro-slayery
cause failed and the free state people
got In control of affairs, the town
began to 90 down. the men went into

The fate of Sumner, In Atchlson

his career In Kansas, is even more

Sumner was a city of brick and NOR

such organizations.
THE SCHOOL TO ATTEND.
We ask those thinking of
attending school to investigate
carefully. II they select another
school we wish them success. IL
they como here, we shall do tho
best we can for them. We know

promises. 1t is easy to boast.
Promises are cheap. Merit alone
will win it the end.
NO CASTE.
We have no favored students.
All are treated alike, whether rich
or poor. Every student will find
every teacher his friend. New
students will find the old students
their friends. No hazing or other
such relics of barbarism finds q

find himself out of place here.
There is no excuse for homesick-
ness in this school.

sent out some of the best pen
artists in the country and has
furnished teachers of penmanship
for several schools and colleges.
instruction is given in all kinds
of plain and ornamental writing,
fiourishing, pen drawing, automa-
tic work, sign writing, and de

SCHOOL OF SHORTHAND AND TELE-
GRAPHY.
See other side of this sheet.
SCHOOL OF MUSIC.
For several years our school OF
music has stood at the head OF
the music schools of the west.
Many of our former students are
now successful teachers, and some
of them are directors of music
schools. Our work is thorough,
and mono but the very best teach
ers are employed. Instruction is
given in piano, organ, orchestral
and band instruments, harmony,
theory of music and voice culture.
the numerous musicales and con
certs given by the department
make the students familiar with
the best music of all time and
countries. The school is wei
supplied with Haines Brothers

concert grand is in the chapel fol
use at concerts etc. VocaI
music (three grades Of classes,

draw students from some of the
large cities for the study of ar
alone. Instruction is given in al

This school, as well rs all in other
special schools, is in charge Of n
trained specialist. II you want
to study elocution, give us trial.
OUR FAULTS.
Since the success of tho school
depends largely on the ability of
the faculty, we have been very
careful in the selection of our
teachers. All are proficient and
experienced. All have studied
beyond what they are required to
teach, yet all are Jealous stu
dents. We will employ no
teacher that thinks he has no
further need of study. Some
schools publish full biographical
sketches of their teachers, giving
date and place of birth, etc. We
think you do not care to know
this. We simply toll you that our
teachers are graduates and know
what they are expected to teach;
that they have been tried and
found successful.
OUR BUILDING.
We have a large stone building,
three stories and attic, heated by
steam and lighted by electricity.
The entire building is used for
school purposes. No students
rooms or dining rooms in the
building, The campus contains
twelve acres, seven Of which is a
fine grove Of native trees.

Only one day lost between terms.

nor the cheapest, We do claim
that we are old enough to have
stability, that our charges arc as
low as will furnish good teachers
and satisfactory accommodations,
that our courses of study arc
made to suit the wants of our
students, and that our teachers
understand their business.
COURSES OF STUDY.
We believe in breadth and thor
oughness. We prefer to have a
few graduates from Il creditable
course than many graduates from
a short, sham course. We advise
all 10 compare our courses with
those of other schools and then
decide for themselves.
TO TEACHERS.
Every teacher ought to be well
educated. Even Il course at a
normal school is not enough. He
ought not TO be satisfied with less
than a full college course. Even
then he ought not to be satisfied.
He must be continual student
Our studies and terms are so
arranged that teachers can teach
from six to nine months and yet
accomplish much in school. Every
teacher can spend at least ten
weeks with us, and IN that time
no can do much.
STATE DIPLOMA COURSE.
This course of ours, which has
been approved by the State Board
of Education, is the strongest
course offered by any normal
school in the state. Compare
catalogues and decide for your
self 1t fits a teacher to take
charge of any public school in the
state.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Two good literary societies, the
Franklins and the Crescent, have
beensin successful operation for
several years. Besides these,
several debating sections are or
ganized each term and placed in
charge of a member of the faculty.
Here beginners arc trained IN
debating, parliamentary law, and
extempore speaking. There are
no fraternities nor secret societies
connected with the school. Thoy

Listen. Education is a posi-
bility for all and necessity for
all. There may have been time
when education was needed only |
by the few, and there certainly |
was time when it was possible
only to the few, but that time is
not the present. With the strong
competition now existing in all
trades and professions, only the
practically educated can hope to
succeed. Observe the successful
mon and women around you.
They were prepared for their
work. You will pass through
life but once. Therefore, make
no mistake. The best assurance
of success is good preparation.
If you have wealth, put some

can never lose it. If you are
