also. We hope and pray that they

Boldly leaves host Of friends In Lib

hope she may realize the thoughts
expressed In the lines at the begin
ming of these notes. Her aim is high,
her faith Is great.
Mrs. Vlckers and Misses Glenn and
Neft were pleasant visitors last Sat-
urday afternoon. Miss Neff expects
to leave the city and enjoy life on
the farm with her mother this sum-
mer. We hope we may have the
pleasure of going out to see her when
her chickens get big enough to fry
and her garden gets to bearing abun-
dainty.
The editor decided to try phonetic

success until he received the follow

Dear girls, everywhere high school
girls, college girls, common school
graduates-who are planning to teach,
not because you think you are espec-
tally qualified for the work or will
particularly enjoy 1t, but just because
it is the easiest and most convenient
thing to do, just because everybody
does. WANT YOU TO CHANGE YOUR
MINDS. What you are planning to do
isn't fair to you and it isn't fair to
the children you expect to have I'M
der your care. 1t is hard enough to
do anything else just to earn your
Lying and not for love of the work,
but to teach in that spirit Is even
worse, because 1t will mean loss to
many helpless children as we'll as to
you. NEVER, NEVER teach the i'm
mortal mind for money! If money
making is your object, be dressmak-
ers or milliners, but teaching Is a
sacred not a mercenary employment.
"In as much as We do it to the least
Of these We do it unto me. THE
above is part of letter written by
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Miss Alice Smith, who taught the
fourth grade IN our city schools the
past three years, came to make us a
farewell visit last Monday morning
before leaving for her home In GlascO,
Kansas. Miss Smith has made a
good many friends during her stay
here. She expects TO 60 west this
summer and may join Miss Dillon
in Washington and teach there the
coming year. We wish her success
In her new field of work.
Gladys caused much merriment at
the table one day when she found
fault with the mineral water that
they gave her to drink. Her mother
asked her: "Why don't you like the
water, dear? What does it taste
llke?"
She answered: don't like this
old water at all, it tastes like my
foot's asleep"
From the state superintendent we
learn that Kansas has forty-fve coun-
ties which have neither a county
high school nor Barnes high school,
twenty-three counties in which there
are county high schools and thirty
seven counties in which there are
Barnes high schools. The high school
in Liberal is a Barnes high school.
This answers manv questions that
have reached this Office regarding
the high school In Liberal.
Don't forget that the normal be-
gins July Bird and continues one
month. We hope everyone thinking
of teaching in Seward county the |
coming year will attend this normal
and learn new methods-get an in
spiration, receive broader culture,
and go forth to her school with this
thought In mind SIN as much as
ye do 1t to one Of these little ones ye
do 1t unto me-"
Miss Ida Harnden, who lives near
Hayne and attends school in the
Hayne district, No. 25, made us a
pleasant business call Thursday. She
planned to come to Liberal and take
the May examination, but sickness
in the family prevented. She will
try to come to the normal II possible.
She hopes to graduate next year.
