Cashiers checks temporarily asa subati-
tute. 1t Is not stranae that there should
be some stubbornness shown by the
flnanciers iu lootening up on the situa-
tion, in the view of the general demand
of the country for radical changes in the
handling of the business of corpora
tions. There Is a fight to finish on for

No one believes that 1t will affect any,
thing In the west very much, and that
only temporarily. unless people In gen
eral should slack up in business and
undertake to hoard what they baye.

ward making currency scarce for con-
Quoting the large business Of the west
The people have shown such good judge
ment so far that this Is not likely, parti-
cularly as the largest deposltors every
where have paid the least attention to
the furry. Word comes from Kansas
City that the banks there do not expect
to see the scarcity of currency continue
great while longer. Some Kansas banks
where there Is less need for large
amounts weekly to conduct the business
have already resumed the payment of

From the Systematic Work of the
Hutchinson Schools


The teachers Of the Dodge City public
schools returned last Friday evening from
their visit to the public schools Of Hutch
inson, where they were shown every con-
siderauion. Supt. Mallory noticed prin-
cipally the great success Of the Ward
method Of reading, sometimes called the
"rational' method, for the primary
rooms. This method has been used 10
Hutchinson for the past four years but
has just been taken up in the schools
here. The primary teachers were much
interested In visiting these rooms. where
forenoon and afternoon sessions are held,
half of the pupils coming In the fore
noon and half In the afternoon, although
there are fifty pupils in each grade Of the
primary departments. Each teacher
visited the grade in Hutchinson equal to
her grade here and great many noticed
the especially fine systematic work being
accomplished there.
Z Unfortunately the high school students
were having examinations and on ac
count of this, Miss Smith and Prof. Coe
visited the county high school at Nicker-
son Mr.. Altman visiting the high school
at Emporia.
On Friday afternoon the teachers were
taken through the reformatory school,
which is situated short distance from
the city. The trip was altogether a very
enjoyable and successful one and will be
remembered with pleasure by all.
