The big parade leaves the Baptist
church tonight at o'clock. There
has been a number of misunderstood
ings about this parade on account of
the misleading articles quoted in other
publications. Nevertheless the parade
led by the Knights and Ladies of Sc
c1lrity band leaves the church on
scheduled time. 1t is expected that
there will be 1900 men in the parade.
Topeka people are invited to fall in
| line.
A large number of the delegates are
| taking advantage of the invitation
from the president of Washburn to
visit the college. Washburn is one of
the prettiest places in Topeka and is
interesting as we'll. Souvenirs are
given and each delegate is shown over
the campus by student guides.
In speaking of the absence of Miss
Baylese and the work of the element
airy part of the Sunday school work,
| Secretary Engle of Abilene had the
following to say this morning: That
1 = aIo 7to1- dom hRPn
| effective is shown by the gain of over
5000 in the cradle roll membership,
| and by the fact that the number OF
! separate primary rooms has more than
| doubled Miss Bayless, who is called
to her home in Ohio by telegram and
! is now giving comfort in what threat
ems to be the last illness of a loving
mother, requests the privilege OF pre-
senting her report in the Journal at
an early date. 1t was her intention
| to call attention to the considerable
number of counties yet without ele-
| mentary superintendent, to Suggest
that the somewhat limited number OF
county uperintendents who do not
reply to communications from the
state officer are greatly embarrassing
the work. They should mend their
ways or yield the position to others
who will honor the position. Also TO
| thank the great numbe for their fine
responsiveness and splendid co-opera-
| tion."
| An important meeting of the execu-
tive committee from Topeka's stand
| point will take place some time this
evening. There is movement on
foot to move the state headquarters
| of the association to Topeka They
are now situated at Abilene but this
village Is considered too small and out
of the way for the work to be accom-
plished by the big organization The
general state secretary, assistant and
| a number of clerks and workers would
make their permanent headquarters in
this city if the movement passes the
| executive committee. Not only this
but Topeka would be the hub around
which would revolve the whole work
| of the many thousand people in the
! state interested in Sunday school adj
yancement. This is a matter that
should not only receive attention from
the Topeka delegates but from the
| Commercial club also. There are
many cities bidding for the Office.
