CAN'T COMMIT BOYS.
Justices of the Peace Have Exceeded
Their Authority.

Justices of the Peace Have Exceeded
Their Authority.
Topeka Oct. 2-It is very probable that
in the neishborhood of fifty incorrigible
boys will be released from the state re-
form school here within the next two
weeks as a result of the recent opinion
handed down by the supreme court in
which it held that justices of the peace
have no authority to commit boys TO the
institution. The probability that the boys
will be released is the cause of uneasiness
among the state authorities and an at
tempt will be made to prevent it.
The decision of the supreme court was
rendered in the case of three boys from
Seneca who were sentenced by justice
of the peace. a verbal opinion was rem
dered at that time and the written opin-
ion is expected next week. The written
opinion is expected to follow the outlines
of the verbal decision, and il it does the
state will have no authority longer to re
strain the boys who were sentenced by
justices OF the peace.
Superintendent Charles of the reform
school today furnished the attorney gem
eral with a list of boys in the institution
who were sentenced by justices of the
peace and asked him what effect the de-
cision of the court would have on their
cases The attorney general is making
an investigation of the case and probably
will not reply to the letter until he writ
ten opinion of the supreme court is hand
ed down.
There are now in the reform school IN
boys and nearly fifty Of these were com
mitted by justices Of the peace. The su-
perintendent has not checked the list IS

FIVE MILES ABOVE THE EARTH

The well-known meteorologist, James
Glaisher, who died in England last win
ter, has let a full and corrected account
of his rhetoric balloon ascent, made IN
1862. when He reached the highest slti-
tude ever attained by man. His first as
cent with Coxweu was made from VOL
northampton on July II. 1852 They rose
10 a height Of five miles. travelled sixty
miles in two hours, and descended just in
time TO avoid a dip in the Wash. Two
important things were learned on the ex-
cursion: First, they passed through a
cloud 5000 feet in thickness and so dense
that the balloon was invisible from the
car; and, second, they dropped $500 feet
from l6. 800 feet to r. 400 feet-in one min
ute. But the great historic ascent, made
from Wolverhampton, took place on Sep
TENDER 8, 1862, when the highest point
ever attained by men who survived to
tell the tale was reached. Mr.. Glaisher
relates:
AT Isl the barometer read los inches
About 1.52. or later, l read the dry bulb
thermometer as minus degrees; after
this 1 could not see the column of mer-
curry, nor the hands of the watch. nor the

TEACHERS ARE NEEDED.
Several Points Are Without Supply Q
Rod Wjeiders


Topeka. Kan, Oct. 2.-Teachers are
country school districts this year and it
may be necessary to close many of the
schools because of this lack of teachers.
For several months there has been
much complaint regarding the scarcity
of teachers and l. L. Dayhoff, state super
intendent of public instruction. instituted
an investigation to find out the number
of vacancies in district schools.
He has found that there are ia schools
without teachers. The chances are that
some of the schools which are unable to
secure teachers may be CONDUCTED by
older pupils However unless teachers
can be secured from some source there
seems to be little doubt that many Of the
schools will have to be closed.
The last legislature repealed the law
authorizing the Issuance of temporary
certificates and this. II IS claimed, is re-
sponsible for much of the trouble. Many
teachers. for various reasons, fail to at
tend the county normal Institutes in the
summer and then have to secure Temporal
ry certificates in order to teach. This
year those who did not attend the insti-
tutes are barred from teaching unless
they take the regular examinations before
the county superintendent.
Another thing which has considerable
to do with the shortage of teachers is the
fact that many teachers have engaged IN
other employment, the wages paid teach
ers in this state being so low as not to

encourage a person to adopt teaching as
a profession, but to merely follow II un-
til something better turns up. According
to statistics recently compiled kansas
pays her teachers lower wages than the
great majority of states Of the Union.
even including Arkansas.
State Superintendent Dayhoff has pre-
pared a circular giving the vacancies in
schools which he will send out for the
assistance of county superintendent and
unemployed teachers. He hopes that by
doing this many of the vacancies will be
filled.
Following are the number Of teachers
needed in tn various counties:
