MANY SURPRISES ARE MADE
 REGARDING TRIP WINNERS
Plenty of Support.

some of the candidates seem to be under the impression that the terri tory is worked out and they can not get any more votes O. subscriptions. An example of this occurred ycster- day afternoon. One of the candi- dates was in the office turning in votes and subscriptions and when she had finished and vas about ready to go she said: Well, l do not know where to go after any more votes. nave seen all my friends and the territory seems to be worked out" She had barely spoken when the door opened and a gentleman entered to pay his subscription for one year. Something in the voice seemed famil- far to the candidate who was still at the desk and she turned around to see who it was. As soon as she saw the gentlemen she said, Why, hello, Mir. ---. He turned and said
 What are you doing here? The can didate told him that she was in the contest for one of the trips and was anxious to So to California as the guest of this paper. Her friend said,
 My my, l did not know you were in the race and I just came in to pay my subscription so you can have the votes. He also told her of two oth- CT friends of his who were going to pay their subscription this week and he would tell them to give her the votes. Needless to say this young lady saw she had not seen all her friends by any means, and She le8 the office with the light of victory shining from her eyes.

performing manual labor for the dis
trict, such as repairing school house,
hauling coal, etc. and drawing pay for
same. 1t was unanimously agreed
that if it is not legal it SHOULD. be
legal, and the sooner the law would
be changed the better it would be for
the schools.
The next question was on the ne
ceSsity of the teachers attending the
teachers NEE ings and the ACCESSIBILITY
of paying them a dollar for each
meeting attended as provided for in
the contracts. It was agreed that it
is of vital importance lat the teach
ers attend these meetings and that
the district should pay the teacher a
dollar for each day attended. This
question was raised again in the after
noon by such as were not in atten-
dance at the forenoon session and
strong speech made against it.
7 he county, superintendent called
sttention to the fact that in signing
the contract the teacher agrees to
att nd COT ty and district teachers
associations and asked the members
of the board to see that this agree
ment is kept and to do all in their
power to help their teachers keep
this agreement by taking them to the
place of the meeting or by furnish
ing them with teams if necessary.
After this the following committee
Mulheim, B. F. Replogle, and Lon Nc
Cluskey.
The meeting then adjourned till
1870 p. m.
The afternoon session opened at
1:45. The county superintendent ex-
planned how to properly make out the
annual report and the various other
reports and when to send them in.
After that followed a general dis
cussion ON the necessity of good
other necessary supplies and appara-
tus. 1t was news to a number of
those present that the school appara-
tIls must be approved by the state
text book commission and the price
fixed therefore, and it was suggested
that before buying any school appara
tus to first find out just what has
been approved by the commission.
The committee en- resolutions now
brought In their report. After con-
slder BILE deta ing the following reso-
lutions were adopted:

Ellis County recommend:

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

Inc IOlIOWlnS Is the report OF meet
ing of the members or the district
school boards of Ellis Co. held at
Hays, May %.
In response to a call issued May 5,
by County Supt. Kuhn a large num-
Der of the members of the district
school boards of the county met in
the court room last Monday The
meeting was called to order at a
little after ten o'clock. In a short
address the county superintendent
stated the object of the meeting,
namely: "To arouse more interest
in the schools of the county and to
devise ways and means to raise Their
standard and to discuss Ellis county
school problems in general" AS this
was the first meeting of the kind to
be held in this county no regular
program had been prepared and ques-
tIons were discussed just as they hap
pened to be brought before the meet
ing by any one present.
Mr.. VIM. Schrant, Jr. of Walker, was
elected secretary.
The first question discussed was,
Teachers Wages. In lively discus
sion in which many took part the idea
was expressed that teachers wages
should be based on the grade of GER
tificate held and on the ability to
teach and govern school. This
idea was in the afternoon embodied
in a resolution but on motion by MI
H. w. Joy was modified to liability
to teach and govern a school
The next question discussed was
how to get the peoplee to take more
interest in and attend the annual
school meeting. Many reasons for
the present state of affairs were Civ
en- and many remedies suggested. The
main reason why the annual meetings
are so poorly attended was however
thought to be- the busy time in which
it lis held. 1t was finally agreed that
steps be taken to have the time
changed by legislative act to the sec
ond Wednesday in June, the day on
which the union districts hold their
annual meeting. 1t was also thought
to help very materially in getting
large attendance at the annual meet
ing if the clerk of the district would
send out circular letters to the pat
rons of the district short time prior
TO the meeting reminding them of the
Importance of the business to be
transacted and urging them to attend.
After this a very spirited discus
sion was had as to the legality of

nesday in june.


Third, That steps be taken by the
schoolboard in each district to create
more interest in the annual school q
meeting. 4,
Fourth, That the Truancy Law be sel
strictly enforced and if found neces- IN
sary by the county superintendent to IN
have five truancy officers appointed
Fifth, That all the necessary ne
school apparatus be supplied in each =
district.
G. J. McCluskey,
B. F. Replogle, ST
A. Mulheim. If
After the adoption of these resolu- v;
tons the question of whether the OIL
minimum school term should be five e
or seven months was brought up. Z
After a lively discussion a vote was =,
taken in which the convention unani- "a
mously voted for leaving five months Id
the minimum term of school. lie
Next the question of state taxation q
for school purposes was discussed. q
1t was thought best to leave the law as g
it is and let every district levey its
own taxes. Pensions for teachers was
the next topic discussed. Those par p
taking in the discussion all thought /
that if the teachers saw fit to PEN
sion themselves no one could object ?
to lit, but they were opposed to the
idea of the state pensioning them.
1t was unanimously agreed to make
the convention of the district school !
boards of the county an annual
affair After a brief discussion as to
when to hold the next convention it
was decided to adjourn subject to the
call of the county superintendent.
