once a school teacher and he defends
them pobly as follows:
Why viii not some Of these editors Of

to attend 10 those things? And these

when they. the papers that do the kick
ing, take just as great IL not greater de-
light in airing and initiating any triiling
error committed by some conscientious
and efficient teacher, as they would in
trouncing some professional rogue. Until
1t is otherwise proven. teachers should be
given the credit of doing the best they
can in a noble cause. and be given praise
and allotment. rather than censure.

good cause have rs due need OF praise

doubtedly bring abou. more good results
that all the knocking and kicking"

towns, Secretary Martin will fix up a
volume on the dead towns and have IL
printed, says the Kansas City Journal.

am afraid this is impossible. The people
in some counties do not take any in

1t is doubtful is any state in the Union
has more lost towns than Kansas. In
the early days of the state townsite
boomers came in here from every quarter
of the globe to get rich establishing
towns and selling them out. Speculation
ran wild. Towns sprang up in a night
only to dwindle almost as rapidly later
on. At least 300 such towns now live
only in memory. and in some cases they
have been lost to memory

Missouri state line. They got out fam

an elegant public building and beckoned
onward to fortune the tenderfoot who had
never had speculation in his eye before.
All the lots were unloaded at handsome
profit. After getting their bearings the
lot purchasers decided that life on the
Kansas Missouri border was too strenu-
Gus in those times, and so they aban-
doned the idea of making a town of

most forgotten town. threatened one time
to be the big city of Kansas. 1t was es-

a big portion of the southwest. 1t devel-
oped into a town of perhaps 2.eo0 inhabi
