TAYLOR,s YALEDICTORY.
Popular Kansas Educator Bids Fare
well to His Friends


In leaving the presidency of the state
normal school at Emporia Prof A. r.
Taylor made his valedictory in the form
of a letter addressed ITO My Friends"
THE resignation says President
Taylor. sewers my formal connection
with the State Normal school of KAN
sas. The step has been under serious
consideration for some time and is
taken because the path of duty seems to
lead back to my native state. The call
to the presidency of the new James
Milliken university at Decatur. Illinois,
comes to me wholly without my seek
ing. If my services shall result in con-
tributing materially to the successful
Inauguration of that great enterprise,
il will give me abundant cause for re-
joicing.
The State Normal school has Just
closed the most prosperous year In its
history. The appropriations for current
expenses for the coming biennium are
larger than ever before and the provision
of sixty thousand dollars for the new
library building will add greatly to the
facilities and cOnveniences of the school
The organization of the new auxiliary
Normal school at Hays City, soon to be
perfected. commits the state to a Sys-
tenn of Normal schools. with the school
at EmDoria as the center and the con-
trolling school of the system Add to
this the loyalty of the good people of
the state everywhere manifest and the
outlook could hardly be more encourag-
ing.
'It must be evident to you that leave
this attractive work with great reluct-
ance- I 80 to the new field with many
misgivings, but with the assurance that
I shall have the same SYMPATHY and
cooperation from a great constituency
that 4 have ever had in my work here.
They beget courage in all such under
takings.
II would be untrue to myself. if did
not find some way to express my grati-
tude to you for the generous support
you have given me through these busy
years. ! came to Kansas a stranger
and you took me in You gave me food
and had enough and to spare. You
gave me raiment and I had more than
I could wear. have had friends far
beyond my deserts. honors in profusion
and beyond my ambition I have always
striven to do my best and so far as 1
know few have found serious fault with
me- In our vigorous contentious for the
preservation Of our franchise and for
the protection of the educational stan
dards in the state our opponents have
seldom said an unkind word about US.
IN the struggle for more generous
recognition and for more liberal assist
anee from the legislature, we have gain
ed ground at every session. For all of
these things I shall ever be profoundly
grateful
The growth of the institution has
been the result Of many co-operati
ucularly the city OF Emporia, the edue.a-
tiona1 forces OF the state. the student
body, the Alumni. the board OF regents.
and the members of the faculty Such
a splendid and loyal following would
assure the success Of any enterprise.

AMER1oAN GOODS I'M CHINA.

The growing popularity of American
cotton goods in China is evidenced by
some figures contained in the report on
the foreign trade of China for the year
1900. a copy Of which has recently been
received at the treasury bureau of sta
tistics. The report opens with a dis
cussion Of the wonderful expansion OF
China's foreign trade. and after COM
menting upon the interruption Of this
growth due to the unsettled conditions
during the latter half Of 1900. summar-
izes the principal features Of the trade,
as follows
.sThe close Of the decade offers a
convenient opportunity for a general
review of the progress Of trade. With
some exceptions. the trade in cotton
piece goods has remained practically
stationary. and in some items has even
fallen on. The exceptions are Ameri-
can drills. jeans. and sheetings. which
show a strong advance. and cotton
flannel, principally American, and cot
ton lastings, which are evidently in
creasing in favor. English cotton yarn
has not progressed. while Indian and
Japanese yarns have advanced rapidly
Among sundries. candles, clocks and
watches. aniline dyes. window glass.
paints and perfumery have gradually
increased in demand; while -four. ker-
osene oil. matches and soap have been
imported in much larger quantities ev-
cry year.
As regards heavy cotton goods, the
expansion in American manufactures
at the expense Of British is natural
and must be expected to continue.
Proximately to China, cheaper freights.
and the evident advantage Of using in
digenous cotton are all factors which
