A Queer Sled

One of the very unique sIeds
that came to Liberal, was seen on
the streets last week. 1t was a
heavy bob sled, with short runners
on which was mounted a piano
box. The front of the piano box
was covered with a piece of car
pet and the driver of the rig sat
inside in chair. While it wasn't
the most beautiful turnout, it
served the purpose, and seem ed to
be doing it mighty we'll.

Phelps And His Teachers.

PHELPS IN THE FOURTH GRADE
Before Phelps left the Bird grade,
probably two months before as nearly
as her superintendent could re mem
Der it, Miss Noyes, his teacher, scored
second great success. 1t is worthy
Of note here, because it shows US
that in the most helpless looking
cases there is a possibility of reform
alton.
Miss Noyes belonged to familiar
type Of teachers that may be found
in most any small city of from a
thousand to five or ten Thousand peo-
pie. They hold their places In the
schools not by their skill as teachers,
but by their skill in making people
believe they are teachers. They are
clever politicians, and that necessarily
means lack of sincerity.
In Miss Noyes' case there had been
two or three efforts in the last ten
years to drop her from the pay roll
These movements were always begun
by new superintendent In the Office
who were not acGuainted, with the
situation, and always ended disaster
0usly. They each In turn dropped
the matter as gracefully as possible
as soon as they found that most Of
the leading men both on and of the
board were bitterly opposed to the
proposition. There were always two
or three intimate friends OF hers on
the board who always boldly defend
ed her at every step.
This was the state of affairs when
Miss Noyes had her great trouble
with Phelps. Her superintendent at
that time having come into the Of
flee the first of the year had been feel
ing his way to have the board dismiss
her at the end of the term. Toward
that end he had interviewed two or
three members Of the board on that
subject. The news was carried to
Miss Moves by her secret agents that
very night, but strange to say she re-
manned silent and thoughtful. On
similar occasions in the past SHE had
issued her orders to her agents [her
friendsl and a neat little by-play |
that no one ever saw or understood
except those who were inside the sec
ret, would take place, and as a
result the superintendent found him
self powerless to rid himsels and the
schools OF her services. This usually
sutliced to keep him quiet for as long
\ time as he could hold his place as
superintendent. But on the night
this harsh bit Of news reached her
the was still Subdued and saddened
BY her experience with Phelps. In
'act she had tried hard for whole
month 70 appreciate the children
% understand their thoughts and feel
With them all that passed-she had
lone her level best to be honest,
'oured out her soul to them, and
,hOugh she had often failed to do the
light thing, the children didn't seem
o mind it, because they felt that she
vas sincere. So when her informant
nd old friend gave her the news OF
he superintendent's effort to have
Ter removed, she simply gazed out Of
he window where the frogs we're
roaksng and the soft spring-tlme
reezes played among the bursting
uds.

> Nearly every school in the country
was forced to take a longer vacation
than the teacher and patrons had
plannedFfbr, on account of the cold
weather, bad roads and sickness.
One school hired a substitute teacher
for two weeks. Even the few schools
that did run had such small atten-
ance that the school as whole was
not benefited The work gone over
will have to be taken up again when
the other members of the class return
to school, However, it is an i'll wind
that blows nobody any good. Every
one says that this snow storm means
splendid crops for Seward county the
coming year That of course, means
better teachers and better schools
for next year. To this we say amen.
Mr. Arbothnot reports his school
in Antelope Valley closed for two
reasons. The roads are too bad for
the teacher to get to school and they
arg also too bad for pupils to travel
if the teacher were there. He re-
ports a good school being taught,

be proud to have done.
Penmanship as well as Language |
and Arithmetic for the little pupils
is almost a neglected study In our
schools. Children should be taught |
these three branches from the first
day they enter school, and then they
should be kept at them every day UNI
til the day of their graduation from
the common or graded schools, and
then some. We trust that the school
boards Will help and that they will
see that every child, big or little, is
given instruction in every branch
that the state has outlined for each
years work, the little folks getting
their full share of time and instrucn

accomplish a grade year with good

regularly. Examine the course OF
study and see how easy and interest
