If F. D. Coburn, secretary OF
the Kansas state board of agricul-
ture, had done nothing more than
compile the recent fifteenth biennial
report of that department it would
have been very creditable legacy
to leave to the people CT Kansas.
The volume is remarkable in many
respects and characterizes the thor
oughness which has always distin'
guished the workmanship OF this
veteran Kansas agricultural author
ity. The report is singularly inter
esting to the layman in the matters
treated of, and not the least notable
feature is the elaborate scheme Of
illustrations.
Already this report is attracting
favorable attention abroad and
many are the deserving encomiums
paid to its author by the press of
the country. With all due credit
10 Mr.. Coburn, the fact should be
impressed upon the public that this
report, excellent as it Is and praise
worthy as is its object, is a refiec,
ton of that literally of the state OF
Kansas which has enabled the sec
retary of the agricultural depart
ment TO perform this crcditable ser
wee. Here is a book of nearly
1, 400 pages, well bound, carefully
printed and handsomely illustrated,
which is in reality an exhaustive
treatise upon the subject of agricul-
ture in general, with special refer
ence to Kansas. Throughout all
of the hundreds of pages there
breathes the spirit of Kansas energy
and Kansas enterprise which has
been so largely in evidence since
the first settlers braved the perlls OF
the Western plains.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CON

The State Sunday school convention
which met in Chanute, this week.
wasa great big event. There were
hundreds of delegates present, com
ing from all parts of the state ana
representa.iv Of the very best c'tl-
zen hip Of the state,
Tuesdays stormy blustery weather
made 1t quite unpleasant for the
delegates and, doubtless, kepta good
many away. Wednesday morning, at
an early hour, the streets were alive
with we'll dressed intelligent looking
people on their way to the various
places Of meeting.
Tuesday night the large opera house
tnat seats 1860 people and furnishes
standing room for many more could
accommodate but small part OF these
seeking admission. And right here
we wish to state that the exercises
on that occasion were of most inter-
esting and instructive nature. Inc
great chorus of $50 voices drilled to
sing in lunison was REVELATION TO
those who might think Chanute can
not furnish a musical entertainment.
Mr.. LETTERS of this city is entitled TO
great credit for his effective work In
organizing and drilling this large
chorus.
In addition to the singing, the
addresses were Of a very superior
quality, Some of the bright
est men and women Of the country
are.here devoting their time and en-
ergles to the great Sunday school
work. Surely this meeting will give
this work great impetus in Chanute
