MEAL RATES FIXED
Hotels and Restaurants viii Treat
Visitors Fairly.

Fred DoId and his committee. who who
have charge of all the arrangements for
the cattlemen's meeting are looking out
for the comfort of the people who Will
visit Wichita on that occasion.
They have called on all the hotels and
restaurants and secured promise that
only the regular fare will be charged
visitors to the city at that time. Some
people seem to have gotten the idea that
because there would be a big crowd in
the city the hotel and restaurant men
would take advantage of it and reap a
rich harvest. Mr.. Dold told reporter for
the Eagle last night that he wanted
everybody to know that they will not be
robbed when they come to the cattle
mems meeting. They can all have a
good time and at regular prices for bed
and board.

HELD INTERESTING MEETING
City Teachers Hold Discussion on
Eariou. Topics

various Topics
At a meeting Of the city teachers asso-
citation. continued over from last month.
Superintendent r. F. knight gave thir-
ty minute talk upon the subject Of
Teaching Grammar" The subject was
grammar, but the discourse was "educa-
ton" upon broad and comprehensive
plane. There is heart and soul and depth
in whatever Mr.. knight may choose TO
say. The benefit in inspiration TO the
teaching corps derived from contact with
the richness of such a mind can hardly be
estimated.
Miss Hattie Smith read an excellent pa
per upon the subject, Should the Kind
ergarten Be Included in the Public School
SYSTEM" The discussion was general
and animated. The greatest objection is
IN the additional expense. From the
statistics of large cities it is shown that
the system is economic, as il takes child
rem at the impressionable age from homes
of wise and crime and plants the seed
Of good citizenship and ultimately saves
the state great expense.
Mrs. Horton read a paper upon Oral
and Written Expression in Primary
Grades" which was written for the
State Teachers association year ago.
Mr.. Wareham discussed 1.-The Field of
Modern Langua ges." IN what grades
of work are the greatest difficulties in
teaching-in primary, grammar or in
High SCHOOL," Miss Mclaughlin repre-
sented the primary. Miss Jane Burd the
grammar and Miss Mills the High school.
The consensus of opinion gathered from
these and the discussion following is that
each grade has its own peculiar difficult
ties and relatively considered the work
of teaching is not more difficult in one
department than in another.
After the announcement of grade meet
ings, the teachers adjourned till the Feb
ruary meeting.
