IL il the First Day.
The opening session OF the southwestern
Kansas Teachers association was held last
evening ia the First, Presbytern church.
The program was started with song by
the High school chorus, which was splen-
didly rendered and raDturousIy appiauded.
After a reading from the Bible and n
prayer, the Hon. W. Z. Stanley was intro
duced and made the address at welcome.
Mr.. Stanley was unconventional and
unique and his flashes OF huplor aud sar-
casm were received with demonstrations
of approval. He began by saying that a
lady VINO sat beside him in the audience
had called his attention TO A statement in
a Democratic paper that "Nr. STANLEY was
to deliver welcome address,. and that he
hoped that the statement was true He
then told a story OF his trip home the day
before and of meeting beyy OF bright
young ladies on the train whom he knew
to be teachers by the intellectual faces
they carried with them.
The speaker said he believed the people
did not iully realize and appreciate the
school teacher, aud he spoke earnestly of
the importance and iufuence-the great
est, be said, outside the home-of the
of the charges under them. he said that
parents too frequently blamed the teacher
for the slowness OF the child IN the climb
ing of the educational ladder, and that
they were equally guilty In not giving the
teacher that aid which was by right dur.
His illustrations were pat and carried con-
viction, aud one teacher remarked In an
undertone to ner neigbbor that IF all Ds-
rents entertained the views OF Mr. Stanley
our work would be much easier, more
pleasant and give greater satisfaction 10
all concerned"
Prof. a. Ii. Limrich of Winfield re-
