Standing foremost in the sisterhood
of states is Kansas. One Of her gal
liant sons has said; "KansaS is smile
and a tear; a comedy and a tragedy;
but she is a winner" Thus In the
light of recent history, we all believe.
Her motto, I'D aStrd per aSpera, ex'
presses the same sentiment In classic
tongue more beautifully perhaps, If
not more forcibly. The history of no
other state is checkered more with
failures and successes, with adversely
and prosperity, with the commonplace
and romantic. No emergency has
ever arisen which she has not met
with wisdom and fortitude; and when
it became necessary to send forth her
sons to fight in honor Of her country,
and later more nobly in the cause of
humanity, she surpassed the efforts
Of all others.
In the course of her short career, Of
forty.two years, her advancement has
been phenomenal. All these great re.
suits have been due largely to the
educational system, which with all its
defects and imperfectionS is unequal
ed. 1t is of the little part which
Phillips county is doing to maintain
the reputation of the state in this re-
gard that we wish to speak.
The annual session of the normal
institute which has just closed has
been one of the most successful in the
history of the county. The attend
ance, though not the largest, has beer
very good, the total enrolment being
124. In compliance with the new
school laws some radical changes
were made in the Course of Study
pursued at the institute. The new
branches added to the requirement.

Just A Little Scare.

Monday evening about five o'clock,
the fire alarm was sounded, and peo'
pie were soon seen hurryiDg from all
directions toward the northwest cor
ner Of the square. Fire had caught
in the roof Of the bakery of j. f. Cole,
but was soon extlnguished. The fire
company was out quickly with the
hose cart and hurried to the scene,
but arrived too late. Fortunately
their services were not needed. The
bucket brigade had been successful.
1t was very fortunate termination
for the old frame buildings on the
west side of the square would burn
like finder, and extensive business In
terests would have been destroyed
had the fire obtained Roadway.

Card OF Thanks.

AS both the county superintendent
and faculty board expressed their
thanks to the students for courtesy
and kindess toward them during the
normal at Phillipsburg, we feel that
1t is even more than thanks that we
should extend to them. AS we neg
lected this at the close Of normal and
by the suggestion Of some Of the stud
ents, we feel sure we are speaking the
wishes Of all, when we say that we
sincerely express our thanks to Mr..
Arnold and the faculty board for their
hard spent hours and especially for
special instructions other than regu-
lar Rotations. And too, we appre.
ciate the kindness shown to US by
them throughout the normal. We
feel that the normal has been both
instructive and pleasant.-TBAoHERs

as many inventions, larger number
by several hundred than any other
individual has received in the history
Of the Office. This remarkable record
was ascertained by j. b. Babson, chief
of the division Of issue and gazette Of
the patent office, who has made a tab
ulated statement Of the inventions of
Mr.. Edison. From this statement 1t
would appear that prior to 1895 the
inventor had obtained III patents and
that since that time he has received
the following numbers: In 1896, three;
10 1897, two; in 1893, eight; in 1899,
three; in 1900, sixteen; in 1901, twenty
three, and in 1908 he has so far recley-
ed six patents. -K. G. Star.

standard for our teachers has been set
up, and a consequent shortage Of
teachers is almost sure to follow. To
meet these increased requirements,
special efforts have been put forth
with good results during the session
of the institute just closed. The per.
sonnet of the faculty is as follows;--
C. NJ. ARNOLD, CONDUCTOR.
The County Superintendent, G. M.
Arnold, assumed personal supervision
of the entire work. Charlie, as he Is
Familiarity known, is an Iowa boy, hav-
Ing secured his early education
in that state. He also secured much
of it by study in the home, after COM
ing to this state. He attended the
HumeSton Normal College at HumeS-
ton, Iowa, and since his residence
here has been a regular attendant at
the normal Institutes. He has had
six years Of successful work in the
public schools, all of it being in this
county. Two years were spent In the
county clerks Office and three and a
half years were spent in the Phillips
County Bank. This varied experience
makes his services valuable.
F. II. BAKER, INSTRUCTOR.
+. II. Baker is man having state
reputation, and is an educator of re.
cognized ability. He is an Iowa pro-
duct, having been educated in the
public schools of that state and West
ern College at Toledo, Iowa. He has
been engaged in the profession Of
teaching since 1886, all Of his exper-
fence having been in Norton and Phil
lips counties. He served the people
of Norton county as superintendent
of schools with credit to himself and
benefit to his constituents. In
normal Institutes, he has been an eff
cient worker and has intructed in a
large number. He is also an orator Of
enyiable reputation. In the last in
Stitute he conducted classes in book
keeping, algebra, photography, read
ing, literature, geography and music,
ROSS c. MCCORMICK, INSTRUCTOR.
The competent professor of our city
schools, Ross Q. Mccormick, is an Iowa
boy by birth, but a real Phillips coun-
ty production, having grown to man
hood in this city. He is graduate Of
the Nickerson Normal College, and
has taught four years successfully at

and carefully following The work out
lined by the circle when their atten-
tiOn is called to this fact:-
The State Board of Education real
izing the advantages to be derived
from a systematic course Of reading to
be pursued by all the teachers Of the
State, has passed a resolution that
for the year beginning with January
|, 1904, In preparing questions for ex-
aminations for teachers certificates,
80 per cent Of the questions in Theory
and Practice OF Teaching shall be
based upon Whites Art u Teaching
and 30 per cent. Of the questions shall
be based upon Vedder's American

The Leading County Paper County Paper And The Best Advertising Medium
The Mosely Commission.

Under the direction of Alfred Nose
ly of London, a company of twenty
four British trade unionists made a
tour of inspection of American COM
mercial and industrial centerS. This
tour was instigated by Mr.. MOSely
who from visit to the United States
and a study of American methods had
seen that our country was forging
ahead of the old world. The report
of the these people known as the
MoSely Industrial Commission, has
been favorably received in Great Bri-
tain and is of interest to workmen of
the United States. Briefly summar-
lied the general conclusions of the
commission are:
The American are superior to the
British in the following:
/. In the education of their people.
2. In the superior intelligence and
enterprise of employers.
3. In closer cooperation between
masters and men.
4. In the superior morality of the
American workman.
5. In the greater readiness Of Amer
leans to use labor saving machinery.
The commission also concludes that
many of the best American workmen
are British born.
The evidence from which these con-
illusions are drawn has been publish
ed in leading magazines as the indie
pendent and Review Of Reviews.

In Justice Court.

All day Monday, justice Of the peace,
W. N. Moore'S court was occupied with
the hearing Of the case of j. W. Bur-
dette VS.. Scott and j. M. Handy. The
point at issue involved contract Of
somewhat questionable character and
Burdette sued for wages under that
agreement. The contention of the
Handy'S was that Burdette was to
care for their horses for his board,
permission being given him to con-
duct a personal business on the side.
Judgment for $50 was rendered for
plaintiff. The case was appealed to
the district court.

Henry Parks accused of attempted
assault upon one, Mrs. Anna BoeShe,
on May 10th last, was given a prelim-
mary hearing. He was bound over to
the district court under bond Of $500,
or in default of bail to be confined In
the county jail. In making the arrest
S. G. Landes found it necessary to
pursuade the prisoner with his gun.
A few shots convinced him that 1t
was advisable to let the law take its
course, and he was brought to town
without further resistance.

No more temporary certificates will

cut these out and teachers must eth
er pass the examinations and receive
certificates, or hold diplomas author
izing them to teach In the public

even more strenuous by additional bur-
