A Lonely Teachers Experience
In Reno County.
Has a Contract For a Term of
Four Months.
BUT NO PUPILS COME
Goes to Building Each Day and
Spends the Hours
In Conflict With a ParOchial
Institution Near.

Hutchinson, Nov. There Is one school
house in Reno county where the teachers
peace of mind is not disturbed by the
pranks of obstreperous pupils, and the
mrery shout OF noisy threats is not to be
heard the play ground. During the
present term there has not been a case of
hardness unless on the part of the
teacher; no one has whispered in school,
and no one has been punished.
If you should visit this particular school
a remarkable sight would meet you. 1t
would be that of a teacher sitting or
standing ready to call classes, announce
lessons, record hardness, attendance, etc,
but with never a pupil in sight. The
teacher is the whole thing and her pres
ence there is caused by a mighty good
Kansas law which requires a certain
number of months of school held in every
district which has sufficient population.
The peculiar condition of this school is
not caused by scarcity of pupils, and it IS
said that such q. condition prevails In sew
eral districts in other counties in the
state.
The school referred to is in District No.
rs in Sumner township. The teacher who
pupil Is Miss Mary Scrogglns- " hen she
was employed TO teach this school it could
any pupils but Two weeks OF wa1tlnS now
shows there is little probability of a pupil
entering the door. All of this is not be-
cause the people of Sumner township do
not believe in educating their children
There are a good number of bright chill
dren in the district and they are in school.
1t appears that all Of the people in the
district who have children OF school age
are of the Catholic faith They have a
parochiaI school near the common school
and they all prefer to send their children
to that school from religious motives.
From the reason that the law requires it,
the other school is maintained. The dis
trict school opened two weeks ago and
so far no pupil has appeared to relieve
the monotony of the teachers waiting
Last year during the four months term
two months elapsed without single pupil
coming to the school. After that during
the remaining two months there was an
average attendance. Of three pupils The
teacher is there ready to take charge Of
pupils should they come and If a family
should chance to locate in the district and
desired to send the children to the pub
lie school everything is in readiness for
