Education is cleaning from men
and books and laboratories, from
field and forest and whispering wind;
1t is learning promptness and
thoughtfulness kindness and helpful
ness, and every form of purity;
1t is the mastering of mind and

and word and glance;
1t is knowing that nothing but
service brings worthy living, that

Every week or so some stranger
comes to town and proceeds to solicit
business of some kind throughout the
resident districts of this city. Very
often these fellows represent some
large establishment in some city, sent
out to pick up easy money. 1t is
probably safe to assert that in every
case. the person who patronizes such
people could have done atleast equal
ly as well or better by patrenizing
home institutions in the same line.
The Kansan wants to be entirely
reasonable about this matter. We do
not intend to get mad and make the
assertion that all solicitors are fakes
and crooks. Perhaps some of them
are honest and work hard to make
lots of money. But they have no
money tied up in stocks or equipment
TO serve you. They do not help you
to pay taxes They are not in posi-
tion to give you the guarantee of
satisfaction that the home institu-
tions occupy. In fact there is no
reason in the world. why resident
should listen to the well-learned story
the itinerant agent or solicitor tells
you. That's his business. The way
to do is to politely tell him that you
can secure the article at home

Russell, Kans., Dec. Is, 1913.
To Pupils, Teachers and Others:
To stimulate investigation of local
history, and to encourage the collec-
tion and preservation of data, offer
80 small prizes for township historical
maps in the several counties of the
23rd judicial district. to be made by
pupils of common and high schools
In each of the counties of Russell,
Ellis, Trego, Cove. Logan and Wal
lace, there are offered five prizes of
SO 90, s.. 90 and 81 90, and consolation
prizes of so and 25 cents, respectively.
for the best historical maps of any
congressional township in such coun-
ty.
Every map must be made by the
student, who submits it, but no re-
striction is placed on contestants as
to receiving aid in the matter of
collection of data to be shown on the
map or in explanation thereof.
The maps will be graded by COM
mittee to be appointed by the Kan
sas State Normal School, Western
Branch, at Hays, Kansas. The hrst
requisite of each map will be histor-
ical fullness, thoroughness and
accuracy, including geographical and
Typographical details. Next comes
skill in map drawing, and neatness.
All maps must be submitted to the
examining committee on or before
Nav 1, 1914, and thereupon shall be-
come the property of the Kansas
Historical Society, to be permanently
kept at Topeka.
1t is hoped that other prizes may
be offered by those interested locally
or otherwise. but in such case the
prizes herein offered will he SO con-
ferred that two prizes may not be
given for any one map.
If two or more maps are practically
alike, the committee, may refuse to
give more than one prize
ANY contestant may submit maps

sire, or may submit several of the
same township, but the same person
shall not receive more than one prize

furnished by the State Historical So
ciety. or as are kept in many public
county offices.
Work may be done with ink or
pencil, in black or colors. but other
things being equal, that map will be
best which is least liable to blurring
in handling.
All points of historical interest
shall be marked on the maps by
means of lines, crosses, circles or
other characters, each of which shall

Teachers examination will be held
January 80 and 81. This is the last
examination in which no High school
credits are required for first and sec
ond grade certificates
OF the sixty three teachers en-
ployed in the schools of Trego coun-
ty, thirteen hold State Certificates,
nineteen hold first grade certificates,
twenty-six second grade certificates,
and five third grade certificates. All
of the third grade teachers are gradu-
ates of our High school and are
teaching their first term of school
Nearly fifty per cent of all of our
teachers are graduates of Trego coun-
ty High School; only five teachers
out of the sixty-three have had no
High School work. Doubtlessly the
work done in the schools this year
will compare favorably with the
high grade certificates held by the
teachers. The people in the county
have right to expect to find it so.
The county superintendent ap-
preciates the kind invitations re-
ceived from various teachers and
pupils to attend their Christmas ex-
ercises. Unfortunately one cannot
be at more than one place at the same
time and the condition of the roads
made it almost impossible to be even
in sseae place. However no one who
runs a car likes to admit that
occasionally impossible places are
encountered on some of our roads.
1t is gratifying to note how much
interest the teachers are taking in
the social affairs of the community
where each is teaching. In the Big
Creek Hall neighborhood three
schools have combined in organizing
literary society and are now having
a good program every two weeks at
the Hall. Miss Mall, Miss Zeman,
and Miss Razak are the enterprising
teachers. Mr.. Chas. SpitZnaugle was
elected president.
DISTRICT NO. 6''-JoHN HANCOCK
The teachers and pupils of District
No. 6 gave a Christmas entertain
ment at the school house December
23rd., The program opened with the
song s'Joy to the World" in which all
present joined. Then followed a
number of good recitations, songs
and dialogues. One of the best things
on the program was a candle drill by
six little girls. The candles were
lighted by a fire fly which was a boy
dressed to represent a fly. He
marched to music played by one of
the school girls. The program ended
with the song "God Be With You. y
The beautiful Christmas tree then
began to be relieved of its load for
Old Santa came and with the aid of
three little girls distributed the
presents and also the generous treat
