Through a trade with J. H. Evans,
of III Clay street, who will spend the
winter in California, the Kansas Chill
dren's Home society has procured the
Evans property for a temporary re-
ceiving home to take the place of the
home in Oakland which is entirely in

Brother Davies was a highly respect

was an active and valuabl member of
the official board. We shall miss him
in our counsels. The church and COM

changes in a letter sent to the mem

chairman of the committee, says: 1.-The

an office in the state house. This
person must be free and Independent
and a powerful advocate of the cause
of education and the rights of the
teachers. Kansas teachers need to
have champion for their cause and
their work. A state council is pro-

interests of the state. Perhaps many
of the minor details of our plan are
debatable. However, let US all get
together for some big educational
