ARITHMETIC WRONG.

Emporia, Kas., Oct. 24.-Com-
plants have been received by the
county superintendent, George
Snoddy, from several school
boards and from pupils and pa
irons of the county schools that
the teachers cannot solve the
problems in the new Meyers
Brooks arithmetic, recently adopt
ed by the Kansas textbook COM
mission. The boards have asked
that authority be given to them
to discharge the teachers because
of incompetency.
The publishing company which
printed these books sent out word
last week that many of the ans
wers in the textbooks were wrong.
They gave as an excuse that the
books were printed in such a hur-
~ that the work was not done
carefully. Superintendent Snod-
dy has sent out postal cards ex-
planning the situation and the
teachers probably will retain
their Jobs.

They Didn't Fight.

"E. B. Morgan, county attor-
ney,. and Jas. Hatton, sheriff,
stopped the Andy Ferns and Geo.
Mullen prize fight, which was to
have been held at Baxter Springs
Monday night. The fight was
to have been held at the reunion
grounds"
The above item from the Jop-
lin Globe is correct, except that
the fight would not have been
held at the reunion grounds even
if the officers had not interfered.
Permission to hold the fight there
was asked some time ago, but
was positively refused.

VERY IMPORTANT.

It has reached the ears of the
committee on streets and alleys
that some property owners are
going to build their own side
walks; then it is also understood
that some property owners intend
hiring their walks put in by out
side parties, that is, parties who
offer to do the work as cheaply
as the contractors. We want to
give warning now, that property
owners should be very careful
about this matter. The work
will have to be approved before
it will be accepted by the com'
mittee on streets and alleys, and
if it is not exactly according to
the specifications it will not be
accepted at all. Some men are
figuring on doing sidewalk work
whose work will not be accepted,
for the reason that it is doubtful
if they can do a decent job OF
work.
Property owners will no doubt
save time, woney and trouble by
having the work done by the
city contractor, who is under
bond to do work which will be
accepted. This is very import
ant matter, and property owners
should govern themselves accord
ingly. The work will have to
be approved, whether it is done
by the contractor or somebody
else. Better not take any chances.

The first number of the lecture
course will be Saturday night,
Nov. 9. The attraction will be
the Lyric Glee Club, without
doubt the best musical attraction
that has been in Baxter for years.
. The following is taken from
press report from Washington,
ID. c.. "The Epworth League
course was opened last night by
the Lyric Glee Club. They cap
tivated the audience from the
very start. The quartette is we'll
balanced and their voices blend
perfectly" This from Albany,
N. Y: "Unquestionably the
Lyric Glee Club should be ranked
as the best balanced quartette
that ever appeared in this city"
In fact from all over the coun-
try come reports as to the super
ior quality of work by this COM
pany. Besides giving full quar-
tette program, assisted by the
reader, Mary Agnes Doyle, they
will give a closing scene from
the Mikado.
Certainly all of you want to
hear this company of artists.
You can do so by buying season
tickets for S1.25, which will adj
init you to all five numbers, or by
paying IS cents for single admis'
sion.
Give this course your support.
1t will do you good and you will
do good by aiding. Every num-
Der is worth price asked for en-
tire course.

SURELY A GRAFT.

The furnishing of school books
for the great state of Kansas Is
surely a graft, else why would
books be adopted which are full
of errors? Take the arithmetics
used in the public schools, for in
stance. They are full of errors.
The teachers will tell you SO, but
we doubt If single teacher will
make a kick for fear of trouble
from the powers that be, Wig;
The state school book commits
sion.
Then again, what do you think
Of the course of study laid down
by the state superintendent!
Think of your children not study
ing arithmetic, when they are nc
farther advanced than the ninth
grade? In the name of common
sense, why should a child not
study arithmetic if the child is
in the ninth grade? Is thai
child so far advanced that ar
ithmetic is not necessary! No
a thousand times no. In this day
of figures and close figuring,
child needs a good course OF ar
ithmetic, but does not get it-ir
Kansas. Instead, what do yol
suppose takes the place of arith
metic in the ninth grade? Well
it is zoology. The child viii
have little use for the knowledg'
afforded by a study of zoology
but the powers that be say tina
study must be taken and arith
metic must be laid aside.
Verify, the days of Rays ar
ithmetic and common sens
should return.
