In way that showed appreciation for
the teachers Of Kansas personally. Mr..
Nightingale Of Be-kson's. did not mince
words, but declared that the teachers
are considerable az they are intelligent
and refined-'.which is largely cause
and effect" he added.

to me. when are the teachers COM

Topeka the whole year through And
they weren't talking shop.
Nearly every church in Topeka Of
fers to help in the way Of places for
meeting. dinners. etc. And nearly ev-
eryone offers the use of the church
free. The State Journal and the Cap
ital go to more trouble to keep open
house for the teachers than for any one
else. and they have nothing to adver-
tise-it's simply because Arthur Cap
the Topeka habit and they really are
sure-enough glad to see the thousands
OF teachers of Kansas here.
Commercial Club Helps.
And with all these things, don't get
1t into your head that the financial

"Oodles'' of Things.
And the entertainment at the Audi
torium isn't all there is to it. 1 know

whole time and thought to the con-

the Commercial club provides.

Miss Radcliffe wanted Gadski here for
the teachers, but could not get her.
Still she got Gerville Reache for Fri

don't believe that you can find
anyone that isn't glad the teachers are
coming to Topeka Mr.. w. w. Mills
put it as well as I have heard: LAS
one Of the citizens Of Topeka, I am
proud that we are given the privilege
OF having the teachers Of Kansas as
guests during this annual convention"
Isn't that fine?
