Public School Music.

The constant demand for teach
ers capable. of introducing mu-
sic in the public schools. and
the frequent openings for teach
erS of this sort to Supersede thOSa
who began this work with no
definite preparation, is leading
students who are musically in
clmed to consider this as an
unusual opportunity.
A systematic investigation of
conditions in Kansas schools Just
completed reveals the fact that
the well prepared teacher, in this
line, is most likely to have a
choice Of positions.
1t is self-evident that cOnser-
vatOrieS of music are not equip
ped for the training of teach
erS of public school music, since
they do not include the neces
Sary academic work and have
not yet the facilities for practice
teaching.
To successfully supervise mus
ic in the schools one should be
both a teacher and a musician.
1t is necessary that one. sing ac-
'ceptably, possess a thorough
knowledge of the singing voices
of children and be able to in
still a love for and inspire. an
artistic Interpretation of good
music. He must be capable of
reading music at sight, and
should understand the how and
when and why in presenting the
severalv steps leading to sight
reading.-State Normal Record.

A Party.

A very nice time was spent at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Fan
shier last Friday evening, January
9th, when a crowd Of twenty or more
gathered there to remind their son
Henry that he had another birthday.
1t was a complete surprise on him.
Refreshments were served consisting
Of oysters and crackers, cake, pickles
and coffee and other good things to
eat which that crowd knows how to
fix. After supper the evening was
spent in playing "5OOV and other
games. All departed at a late hour

governor. The fight was on an
amendment by Henry Thompson,
democrat Of Reno, providing IN
substance that no present office
holder, should be appointed on
such board other than members
Of the three present boards. The
democrats maintained that the
power of the governor should be
SC limited that he could not in
fluence legislation by promises
Of patronage. The argument was
largely along general lines,
though some distinct SlapS at
Mr.. StubbS was made. Joe Mer-
Ger, of Chase, finally grew warm

to remarks made by Orr of At

WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE.
by c. R. GLASGow.]
0a~~

When | am dead will bequeath to you
Some little things you loved -ho loved me too.
The great things God remembers let them lie
Hidden by Him from every mortal eye,
But these are little things that you will prize
Who look at me with tender, human eyes,
Only smile, perhaps a word-a tear
A trick Of manner infinitely dear,
A foolish Jest by others soon forgot.
ust as it chanced they loved d-or loved me not
But at the great, triumphant judgment day,
When, in his balance, God shall rise and weigh
This poor week soul of mine naked and dumb
And hud it wanting! then pray you come,
Cast in these little things, say by this tear
gagged her tenderness, see, it is shining herel
This was her touch-ths sunshine was her smile
That frightened life for me little while,
Her love was all she had-she gave her best,
We missed her when she entered into rest.
God clothe her soul with beauty grant her wings
Weigh down the balance with those little things"
So, when die, will bequeath to you
Those gifts you loved because you loved me too.

W. P. FEEDER, introduced in
the house today. a bill providing
for state aid for all country
school districts which are un-
able to support a 1-month term
of school. There are about 2OOO
districts in the state where the
limit of the tax levy will not per-
init them holding full 7-mOnth
term because it is impossible for
them to raise sufficient funds.
The bill provides that where a
school district comprising at least
u square miles cannot raise suf-
ficient funds the state shall help
By donating enough money un-
til the total receipts of the dis
Tict amount to $3.50 from the
state and the district together

bill will be found of great con-
rent for lihgting purposes. This
yenience for towns along inter-
urban routes which desire to buy
light current form the companies
furnishing power for the interur-
ban line.
Wippier, of Harvey, has a bill
amnedmg the bridge law, seeking
to graduate the limit of percent
age of general fund available to
the commissioners for bridge pur.
poses. In some counties, as much
as 80 per cent is required. This
bill will correct the present diff
ficulty.
Each side of the house has a
utilities measure, and an effort
will be made to combine the de-
Slrable features Of both bills, and
pass something along this line at
once effective and satisfactory to
all interests.
In the senate the handful of
democrats are virtually cOntroll-
ing the body. They are so situat-
ed that they can pick out what
they like from the. propositions
offered by either faction of the
republican members, subs itute
their own measures, and check it
up to the other fellows to take
or leave. An instance of this
was shown Friday when Sena-
tor Robertson succeeded in Sc
curing precedence of the dem
Ocratic initiative and referendum
bill over the republican measure,
by securing first place on the
calendar.
Cones of Meade, author of the
baaSe ball bill won the respect
and admiration of the members
Friday in his courageous and maj
ly defense of the. measure. Cones
is all right.

ant state printer. was killed in

other lively debate ON the floor
of the house, at which time the
bulkc sales bill came up on third
reading. The enemies of the
bill had been busy for several
days, and a surprisingly strong
OpppOSitiOn had been worked up.
The bill had been so amended in
the committee, however, as to
eliminate the. offensive features,
and the vote stood 62 to 50
for the bill. A constitutional
lnajOrity not being had, a call
of the house was made. 0linger
Of Shawnee was finally secured
from a sick room and casting his
vOtei for the bill, relieved the
situation and raised the call. Oh
niger was promptly fined a. bar
rel of apples for not being pres
ent, thus causing the call of the
house. The bill as amended does
away with the offensive inven-
tory provisions, and also pro-
vides that by filing a suitable
bond covering the Indebtedness
on a stock of goods, an assign
mint can be made without COM
plying with the other provisions
Of the bill.
Saturday morning, Brown, of
Kingman, minority floor leader,
introduced the anti-white slave
bill, and so vigorously did the
redOubtedable leader push the
measure, that in 35 minutes al
ter its introduction, the bill had
gone through first and second
reading was referred, report
ed on favOrably, and Ordered on
the calander under general or
ders. The minority holds this
as one of the most important
measures seeking to elevate man
kind and protect the morals of
our people, which will be intro
duced at this session. 1t will un-
doIbtedly become a law, and it
handles the n3fariOuS traffic in
III uncertain terms.
Aside from party measures, the
registration of mortgages idea
will be one of the juicy bones of
contention before the legiSla-
ture. The people of Kansas had
better be looking up this matter
and indicating to their repre-
sentatives where they stand.

seeking to expand the powers of

Kansas Day.

AduSdS Lay.
:. Kansas Day was once only a
local holiday event in the Sun
flower state. but it was the
monwealth that has been deNel-
oping with such remarkable ra5
pidity that each twelve months
Of its history brought. some spe-
cial subject for felicitation among
its. citizens, For years Kansas
g Day has been celebrated by the
Republicans of the state in a
big dinner a. Topeka, 'at which
naturally enough, politics figur-
ed prominently. a Kansas cele-
bration would not be complete
without a strong political flavor.
One can scarcely think of the
name Kansas without am attend
ant train of political reminiS-
cencas
But now that Kansas is fifty
years old it is beginning to have
history and tradition not alto
gether political. With age and
maturity the commonwealth has
brought up a, generation Or two
Of men and women who have
gone out from the state to take
up their work in other cOmmm-
titles. Kansas has its eXileS scat
tered far and wide over the
earth, and the instances are few
where the exile does not turn
with a yearning heart towards
Kansas about this time of year.
Once the perfume of the Kansas
prairieS gets into the nOstrilS
and the real Kansas spirit finds
a place in the emotions, there is
no other place that is really
home. Wanderers may go forth
On sea and land answering the
call. of opportunity, but Kansas
will ever be entwined in the
sweetest tendrils of memory.
Former KanSanS abound every
where. In most big cities there
are large colonies of them. Kan
sas City il full of Kansans;
Chicago boasts a thousand or
more, and New York contains
q multitude. And these KanSanS
most of them, are loyal and true.
Whether they are down on
their luck-which is rare with a
KanSan- or harvesting the gold
en- SheaveS of success all are
from Kansas, with a common love
for their state. Kansas has sent
forth men and women who have
mounted the heights. 1t has sup
piled governors, senators, Sclen-
lists, lawyers, fmancierS, preach
erS and editors for other states,
but always the name of Kansas
touches the same responsive
chord in every one.
kansas Day is becoming
something of a universal cele-
bratiOn. In many cities of the
Union there are Kansas societies
b which celebrate the birthday
Of their state, These celebra-
tOns are good to think about.
They are indeed. happy reunions
and the idea is spradmg until
the absent Kansan abOut this
time of year. may drop into al
most any large city and find a
Kansas dinner ready to welcome
him. Let the Kansas Day cele-
bratiOn spread until it encom-
passes the. earth.-KanSaS City

Editors Meet at Topeka.


The Kansas State Editsrial Associa-
ton met at Topeka Monday and Tues
day Of this week. 1t was one Of the
most successful and best attended
meetings ever held.Dy the association. .

program was the luncheon given the
editors by the Santa Fe railroad COM
pany. The Topeka Capital of Tues
day says'in part Of the luncheon: =.
The evergreen trimmings included
branches of pepper trees with the nd
berries on them, leaves from seVer&
species Of palms, specimens Of cacti
that are familiar in California Udt
which have strange look in Kansas,
and a good, deal Of alfalfa which, for
the most part, was hung over the ceh-
ing. 9GG .
The luncheon itself beggars descrip- .
ton. In the first place the publioa-,
ton of the menu, as handed around
among the guests, would mean less .
than nothing to the reader of ordinary
attainments in an educational way, 1t
being entirely in French. AS a sample
the first article on the menu reads like
this: ."Anchois 0cufs Caviat," what
ever that is. The menu ends with the
only article within the ken Of the ay-
erage man, that article being In

familiarly known as Coffee. But

the editors for the delectatiop Of their .

The depth of planting varies from
3 to 5 inches, and this in a great meas
ure depends upon whether early or
late varieties are desired. Early vari-
cites are planted at the former depth
and the late varieties are planted at
the latter depth. Where early potatoes
are especially desired, planting should
be done as soon as the soil is warm
enough to sprout the seed. For the
later varieties or where late potatoes
are especially desired, the planting
can be done during May and early
June. The main object to be kept in
mind is that they should have enough
time to mature. Most of the varieties
especially the later varieties, require
from rs to 80 days to reach maturity.
