speedily devised for the relief of the traffic
congestion on the various lines. Manhattan

Gid not maintain its one point rise. The
stock was not appreciably affected by the
Kings county grand jury presentnlent.
Dealings were very animated during the
first hours trading and although higher

largely centered in the fractions, Gould's

NEW CERTIFICATE PLAN.
Teachers Want Permanent Certif-
Gates to Teach.

The county superintendent are be-
hind movement to have a law passed
by the coming legislature providing for
permanent teachers certificates, instead
of compelling teachers to take an exam
ination every year or two, as they do
at present In support Of the plan it is
when once examined and admitted to
their profession are admitted for life,
and it is argued that the profession Of
teaching should be treated in the same
mancar-
Those who favor the present system
however, point out that this is already
provided Cor. Teachers who fit them
selves fully for the profession of teach
ing, the same as doctors and lawyers
fit themselves for their respective pro
fessions, are now granted life certificates
to teach. and it is only those who can
not pass the examina tions which show
that they have fully fitted themselves
for the profession who are compelled to
accept temporary certificates.

ers' association in the competitive en-
rollment and attendance contests be-
tween the los counties of the state.
There are in Wichita county 28 teachers
employed, and IA. or so per cent, were
in actual attendance at the association,
and %. or 1872 per cent. were enrolled
as members for the coming year.
This is significant in several ways.
First of all, because Wichita county is
one Of the extreme western counties Of
the state, and the teachers had to come
over 300 miles to attend this educationa1
feast. 1t also speaks well for the enter
prise and interest manifested by the
teachers, for the reason that in this
sDarcely settled district the schools are
small and the wages paid to teachers
are necessarily low, the average wages
in the country districts being only
about $50.
The prize given for the largest per
cent. of teachers of any county in actual
attendance is a large beautiful silk flag,
which will be most highly appreciated
by 4he patriotic teachers and citizens of
Wichita county The prize given for the
largest per cent. of teachers enrolled is
a large $50 relief map of the United
States. which is well worth the effort it
took to secure it.

PROF. F. NJ. BLANCHARD. of Chicago

Prof Blanchard rendered a large poT-
ton of Macbeth in his recital, and mis-
impersonations were excellent They
were not overdone, as impersonations
often are. but were a splendid portrayal
of the principal characters of the great
tragedy. Among the parts given were
those Of Macbeth Lady Macbeth
"BanQuo," the three witches and the
porter
During the evening a telegram ce
greeting was received from the Michigan
State Teachers association. which is
also now in session, and also a telegram
from a. Il. Taylor, formerly president
of the state normal, to President Hill,
asking that greeting from him be ex-
tended to the blessed Jayhawkers"
President Hill was instructed to reply
by wire to both dispatches
The musical numbers of the evening
were vocal solos by David Bowie, of To-
peka, and Miss Louise Winans, of
Hutchinson. both of which received the
heartiest applause.
Prof. Blanchard is an old friend of A
w. Dana. of Topeka, and was enter
tanned by Mr.. and Mrs. Dana during mis-
visit here.

Effect of Improved Conditions

Up in Oceana county, Mich, a few
years ago the county superintendent of
public schools started out TO bring to-
gether the farm homes and the rural
schools in an effort for better education.
1t developed into what was called the
''Hesperia movement and resulted in
the organization of a Patrons and
Teachers association. The county su-
perintendent who started it is d. E.
Mcclure, now deputy state superintend-
ent of Michigan. The executive cons
mittee of the Kansas State Teachers
association got Mr.. Mcclure to come to
Kansas and tell Kansas teachers some
thing of his experiences, and he did so
at today's session of the association
His subject was The Rural School as
a Social Center.''

AN EASTER
RECONCILIATION.

II was one of Mark Staunton's black
days, in which nothing had any beauty to
his eyes, nor enjoyment for his mind.
He certainly was somewhat ungrateful
to insist upon being so persistently mis-
cradle, for he had enjoyed a. reasonable
a share of blessings as any one man has
n right to expect. He was only 80 now,
prominent in his profession, had held sew
eral political offices of honor, and had
lately come in possession of comforta-
bic fortune, which, added to the compe-
tency he had amassed in his profession,
made him rich man.
Once Mark had been In love-yes, real
ly in love; and, long ago as it was, rccol-
lectons of that time would yet come up,
and often brought him considerable bit
tcrness.
1t was when he was first setting out
in the world. He was only 81. starting
as poor young lawyer.
But only two years after that pleasant
passage in their lives, which ended in
the disquict and trouble such things often
do, Katharine Arson had married and in
all those years their paths had never
crossed.
1t was very long since Mark had be-
iicved himself in love with her; but there
were times, in looking over his somewhat
solitary life, it occurred to him how diff
terent it might have been had that af-
fair terminated as it ought to have done.
The striking of the clock reused him
| from his reyerie, and woke him to the
consciousness that while he was dream

1t was growing near sunset wheI
they approached the station where Marl
was to end his little journey.
With fearful shrieking the traii

got off at Briarton.
