IN THE SCHOOLS.
Items of Interest About Dickinson's
Educational Matters.

Owing to grip, measles and inclem-
cncy Of the weather, attendance in the
district schools is extremely small.
The county superintendent reports
that during the past two months, he
has found the daily attendance not to
exceed one-thrd of the enrolment. As
a result, the teacher, no matter how
hard he works, can do but little good.
Year after year the people expend
their money in unstinted measure to
keep up schools for the benefit Of the
children, yet so cumbersome and un-
wieldy is the system that the little
tot who should have the tenderest
care is obliged either to stay at home
or plod through mud and snow to
reach the school and in many instanc-
es sit shiyering all the day. Is it any
wonder he is sick, is it any wonder
the attendance is smallp II legisla-
lures would pay . little more atten-
tlon to the interests Of the people and
a little less to politics, the people Of
Kansas might be able to secure u law
that would permit them to unite the
small districts in township and pro-
vide means for conveying the children
to and from school for less money
than is now spent, Other states are
doing this and find that they can pro-
vide graded schools, better teachers
and conveyance for the children for
less money than it cost under the old
system.
Teachers institutes this year have
been more successful than for years.
The association wisely returned to
the old plan Of having county instead
Of district meetings and reading cir
cles.
Many Of the six months schools are
closing.
Miss Mary Humbargar, whose win
ter school in district 6S closes March

ing successful term in district 1902,
will return to Baker university for
the spring term.

school in the county, observed the an
nIyersary Of Washington's birthday

Wm. Campbell, the oldest teacher
in the county, is teaching in the sec
ond grade in the Hope schools. Mr..
Campbell has never missed a normal
institute.

PAYS BIG MONEY.
c. W. Parker's Establishment Proves
Good Thing,

Good Thing,
A city's prosperity is measured by
the volume Of business done by its
principal business establishments.
Abilene is blessed by number OF
such institutions, but perhaps the
most successful venture at present is
the manufacturing establishment Of
c. w. Parker, whose volume Of busi-
ness already this season is the largest
in its history. Mr.. Parker COM
menced several years ago to manu-
facture and put on the market me-
chanical shooting gallery Of his own
invention. 1t was such an improve
ment over anything ou the market
thahit was a decided success from the
start. Mr. Parker has gradually in
creased his establishment until today
he employs force oftwenty men and
has large and well erected buildings
in which the work is performed. Two
new buildings are now being arranged
for and work on them will commence
soon.
While Mr.. Parker makes specially
Of his mechanical shooting gallery, he
also handles and and constructs mer-
ry-go-rounds, organs, engines and
foundry supplies. Mr., Parker is now
engaged in erecting the electric light
plant at Enid, Ok, owned by him, the
casting, ETC., being done in his estab-
lishment here.
A REFLECTOR representative visited
Mr. Parker's place this morning and
found the establishment busy place.

Office answering correspondence.

Abilene, Kansas, who offered me such
inducements that finally ! visited Mr..
Parker's factory, and bought a swing
Of him. After taking it home ! put
it up on my farm to see II everything
