The feature Of the meeting Of the
county teachers at the court house yes
terday was their consideration of the
state normal project. The association
was addressed at length by ex-County

TO the teachers as how they could best
apply their efforts in aid of the project.
Inc association work for the normal will
be done through the circulation of petit
tons in this and surrounding counties.
It is their intention TO secure on their
petitions the signature of every teacher
in Sedgwick county, if possible,
and those of majority of the teachers
in the surrounding counties, including
Butler ,Cowley. Sumner, Harper, King
man. Reno and Harvey. Before the as
ISOLATION adjourned it adopted by I'M
animous vote resolutions reciting some
OF Wichi;a's greatest advantages as a 10
cation for state normal.
The regular program was an unusually
short one. In the absence OF William
Dunn, who was to have read a paper on
the best means OF teaching patriotism,
the association devoted part Of its time
- a general discussion OF the subject,
during which some very helpful sugges-
tons were ELECTED. After this Charles
w Fifer gave his views on kansas
Poetry The association then listened
10 a carefully prepared paper by Profess
sor Charles Adams OF the Wichita Busi-
ness college. IN which he treated Of the
effect in after life OF the discipline OF
the school room Adjournment was
taken until the 6th Of February, which
will be a week earlier than the regular
