ed an eloquent and feeling Valedic
tory for the class IN which he com
plimeRted our people as follows:
"The Citizens of Hays and Ellis
county, You owe your'present
position to the high ideals you
have been striving to attain. There
was a time IN Yoar history when
safely could be secured only at
the point of the bayonet. But thru
determination you have made it
possible to cast aside the dreadf ul
arms of war and clothe yourselves
with the armor of peace;- the ar
my of warriors has given place to
an army of teachers; the soldiers
quarters have been transformed
into the students home This
wise change has been brought
about largely thro' your efforts
When western Kansas was con
siderlng the advisability of a state
Normal school you turned to the
Government land in your midst,
Here you saw the possibility of
self supporting institution, and
put forth your best efforts and
induced Congress to set it aside
for the desired purpose; the result
was the establishment of a State
Institution in your midst. Wes-
tern Kansas should feel grateful
to you for the efforts put forth in
her behalf.
The high standard you are hold
ing and striving to attain has In
the past year added several enter
prising families to your number;
these are a mere beginning of
what is promised for the future.
And those who leave their homes
and come among you must look
to you, in greater measure per-
haps than you are aware, to fur
nish them with some home like
surroundings. Those of US who
haze been with you desire to thank
you for the kind treatment shown
US during our staY".
In the evening the school year
closed with a banquet.

Girls in Austria

Austrian girls are carefully taught in
school until they are fifteen years old.
They are not during this time kept en-
tirely out Of society, but are dressed with
the greatest simplicity. never wearing a
silk gown until they have left school and
attend their first ball. on leaving the
school room they have one or two years
training in the kitchen and pantry either
by some member OF their own family or
under a trained cook in anothers house.
Though they may never be required to
cook for themselves they know exactly
how everything should be done, and long
before they set up housekeeping on their
own account are competent to take charge
of a household They make most affection
ate wives ard mothers.
An Austrian lady is said to be as ac-
comp'ished and learned as an English
governess. as good cook and housekeepei
as a German, as bright and witty in soci.
ETY. as a Partisan. and as handsome as ar
American. In Vienna are found some OF
the most beautiful women in Europe. Au
strian girls are brought up In habits Of in

kind OF work in hand. They are famous

ChiIdren's Hair

Mothers should teach their girls to
care for their hair as early as possible.
II a girl is coaxed into the habit of Civ
ing her locks a hundred strokes with
a clean brush every morning and even
ing and braiding them loosely for bed
the foundation for a beautiful head OF
hair will be laid. Too many children
are allowed to go to bed with theil
hair in a tossled condition, only to have
1t jerked and tangled hastily wher
school time comes round. Such a prac.
tice is disastrous to the nerves OF 9
sensitive child and ruinous to the hair
Never allow one child to use the other
hair brush. Diseases Of the scalp arr
