Who works for glory misses oft the goal,
Who works for money coins his very soul.
Work for the works sake then, and itsmay be
That these things shall be added unto thee.
We received invitations from Sup
erintendents Ely Of Shawnee county
and Lee Harrison Of Sumner county
to be present at superintendent
meeting in Topeka to confer with the
the legislative committee relative to
number of very Important post
poned measures. st is absolutely
necessary that the superintendent OF
the state get together and unite upon
the most important bills, and, then
push them If we desire them to pass,
or If we expect any favorable legisla-
tion along our line whatever" Alas,
owing to long distance from Topeka,
Christmas rush and shortage OF funds
we were compelled to remain at home,
and it grieved US sore because 1t is
the first time we were ever invited
to such an important meeting. How
ever we will write to them and tell
them what we would like for Seward
county educationally.
Mr.. Melvin Wheeler, we request
you as our representative, as man
vitality interested in education, to be
on the alert at the coming session of
the legislature Of Kansas and see to
it that Seward county gets the best
educationally that 1t has to give. We
feel sure that our interests are
safe In your hands We hope that you
may realize some of your long wished
for plans and ideals for Seward coun-
ty In the educational field. We new
er can have too much education II 1t
is Of the right kind. We have a
branch of one of our state schools in
the southwestern part of our great
state. Why not have branch Of the
Normal or Agricultural College in
the southeastern part Of the state9
