Notice to Teachers.

The Southwest Kansas Teach
ers' Association meets at Dodge
City, February 1O-l1. The best
talent that could be procured
will be there, including such
men as w. A. McKeever, Super
intendent Fairchild, etc.
The general meeting promise
to be first class and the depart
ment meetings will be conducted
by the leading educators of the
district, assisted by some of the
really strong men of the state.
We believe that no progressive
teacher can afford to miss any
part of the program.
School Boards generally recog-
nize the Importance of such meet
ings and gladly allow their teach
ers to dismiss school on full pay
for the time necessary to attend.
We hope that no teacher who can
possibly attend will be absent.

No, gentlemen, Mr. Waters state
ments about my adve stising keeping
visitors away from our splendid health

They are said for political effect. They
are said to cloud your minds to his

They are said to defeat man whose
