This result achieved as it was in spite
of the heavy blow dealt the Company ON
the last day of August, by the death of

The price of wheat is climbing tow
ard the dollar mark, and even if Kan
saS does not raise as many bushels
this year, the farmers will probably
get as much money for it as they did
when they had more wheat last year.
There is poor outlook for wheat in
all the countries of the world and of
course, if the supply is short the
price will be high. Oyer-prOductiOn
advocates will have something to fig.
Ure on this year if a small a mount OF
high priced wheat makes business
dull and a large supply of low priced
wheat makes business lively-the con.
cluSiOn that must be arrived at by
taking both their action and argu
ment into consideration.

Our Normal Institute of Sumner
county, Kansas, will convene July 3,
1893, in High School building in Wei
lingtOn. We are thankful to the
school board of Wellington for this
manifestation of good will to the
teachers Of our county generally. We
hope parents will make arrangements
for their sons and daughters who are
aspiring to be successful teachers, to
attend our Institute. The hour is
upon us when those who desire to re-
main in this grand calling must move
on with the advanced ideas of today,
or step down and out. We have too
many who are engaged in teaching
for the money there is in it, and not
able to say they like the calling or
have that love for the children which
exists in the heart of every true,
worthy teacher. AS the people Of
Sumner have been so kind as to grant
unto me the honor of serving them as
Superintendent during the second
term, | have endeavOred to serve them
faithfully in securing a competent
corps of instructors in our normal, so
those who 60 to the expense of attend
ing will beamply rewarded. Our con-
ductOr, Prof. H. B. Scott, of Garfield
University, is well known TO our lead
ing educators. He has acted as Con-
duCtOr or Instructor, in thirty-twO
Institutes; seven being for WhiteSide
county, ILL.,; four for Kearney county,
Kan. and four for Grant county, Kan.
He holds life diplomas for Illinois
and Michigan, the former being issued
before he entered college. Prof. Scott
completed both the classic and Scien-
tifc course in Knox college, ILL.,, and
served twice on State Board of Ex-
aminerS in that state. The Illinois
State Journal of Education. said
when he left Illinois: And now Prof.
Scott has gone. 1t is hard to lose our
best men, but our loss is Kansas

man and proposes to teach higher
branches during afternoons. There
fore we have arranged for all day
work. Prof. Guy p. Benton of TT.
Scott is also well known, being a fine
scholar and worthy gentleman.
Prof. |. E. Swain needs no recon-
mend in our county as he did faith
full work in our institute of 1872, so
much so that our teachers insisted
that he be retained this year. Prof.
ii. L. Thomson of Great Bend, Kan.
SaS, is graduate of Great Bend Col
lege, who is well known here, and is
doing fine work as teacher in above
college. Prof. H. c. Limbert is also
well known, being a resident of our
county, having taught COrbin school
for several terms. He is a good Schol-
ar and worthy christian gentleman.
He is excellent in grammar, being
one of Holbrook's students. We in
