SAME BOOKS WORSE OR BETTER
Many Kansas Teachers Make Com

Topeka.-Written evidence showing
the ignorance of more than 200 ru-
raj school teachers is now on file in
the office of the state superintendent
of schools.
Supt. Fairchild some days ago de-
cded to find out what the teachers of
the state thought of the present
school books and directed circular
letter to nearly every teacher in the
state. That letter requested the teach
er to mark behind each textbook in
a carefully compiled list whether, in
his or her Judgment, the present book
was better.
A good per cent of the rural teach
ers in passing judgment upon the
physics. grammar and history either
say those books are better or
"worse" than the old books. Now, it
happens that the present physics,
grammar and history are the same
books that were used before.-Chi-

OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN

New York. He very kindly wished me
safe return to my home, and shook
hands with me, with smile on his
good, homely face.
We left Washington that night for
New York, which place we left on the
18th, by steamer for Aspinwall, and on
the night of the 14th, he was shot by
Booth. On the night of April 80, we
had put into Acapulco for coal, and a
boat from United States gunboat then
in that port, came alongside and gave
us the awful news. When We reached
San Francisco on the 9Th of May, we
found the city one solid mass of mourn

pleasure to me, that L can look back to

Emancipation, and can recall my last
meeting with him.

CAPTAIN LOVING OLD
FRIEND OF PRESIDENT

When the Philippines Constabulary
band reaches Washington there is like
ly to be repetition of the Booker
T. Washington discussion, for without
doubt Captain Loving, director of the
Constabulary band, will be invited by
President Taft to the White House.
One of the men connected with the
Constahulary band on its present tour
stated yesterday that Captain Loving is
a sort of Booker T. Washington, man
CT conspicuous talent, and one whose
name, already famous, will be linked
with those of the greatest band direc,
tors of the world. The Constabulary
band is en- route to Washington to par,
ticipate in the inaugural parade and to
furnish the music for the inaugural ball,
at the particular request Of the Pres.
ident- elect. Mr.. Taft is personal
friend of Captain Loving, for it was
while Mr.. Taft was in the Philippines
that the COnstabulary band was organ.
lied with Captain Loving as its direc.
tor Mr.. Taft has taken lively inter.
est in both the band and its talented
leader, and therefore the reception to
both in Washington will be cordial and
Captain Loving is assured of a personal
reception at the White House.
Captain Loving is a Southern-born
man. In early years he was taken to
one of the Dakotas and raised in a fam.
lily where he was given opportunities
in an educational way which finally
resulted in his graduation from the Bos'
ton Conservatory of Music. While in
the Dakotas he and Roosevelt met.
That was when Roosevelt was learning
the ways of the cowboys and hunters.
Roosevelt is said to have taught Low
ing his lessons at night.
Captain Loving holds his rank in the
Philippines Constabulary, which is the
insular police of the islands, compris-
ing force of 5000 men.
Accompanying the band on its tour
is Col. Mark Jersey, the general supply
officer Of the Constabulary. He goes
with the band in his capacity of supply
and disbursing officer. Col. Jersey is
a captain in the regular army.

FLORAL PARADE REVIEW
At KAP|OlAN|5'PAR

Three hundred dollars for prizes was
the amount appropriated yesterday by
the general committee of the Washing.
ton s Birthday Floral Parade. This
will provide for the various trophies
in the form of banners and pennants,
handsome silver souvenirs for each of
the six Hawaiian princesses, and the
several cash prizes which the commit
tee decided to offer. Chairman Tom
Sharp of the subcommittee on prizes
and decorations reported that he is al
ready at work on the prizes, and sub
mitted an estimate of 1910. The gem
eral committee allowed him 5000,
which amount he stated would fully
cover what had been outlined. 1t was
voted to change the place of final re-
view from the Punahou grounds to
Kapiolani Park.
